Su Yue first processed the fish, shaved off all the bones of the meat and only the fish was left, dismembered it into several parts with a knife, washed it and sliced it diagonally with a knife into pieces of fish, then put in salt and rubbed it again, and then used The water is washed repeatedly until the fish fillets become crystal clear and transparent, and the fish meat produced in this way will be fresh, tender and tasty.

Li Xiaoqing helped her by the side, took out the pickled cabbage from the jar of pickled vegetables as Su Yue said, cut the pickled cabbage into shreds, and blanched it in boiling water for later use.

Li Xiaoqing had never heard of the dish of sauerkraut fish before, but she was very accustomed to Su Yue cooking a dish that no one had ever heard of. Help, by the way, looking forward to the birth of this dish.

Anyway, it must be delicious. Since Su Yue started cooking, the motivation for the few of them to go to work every day is to eat Su Yue's delicious food after work. Thinking about it makes people feel that they are full of energy. I feel that going to the countryside is to survive, but now I feel that life is also very good.

Su Yue put salt, pepper, egg white, starch and other condiments into the fish fillet, grabbed it with her hands, put it aside, and then said to Li Xiaoqing who was waiting, "It's time to fire."

"Hey, alright!" Li Xiaoqing seemed to have heard some important order, and stabbed to the back of the stove.

Su Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she always felt that Li Xiaoqing was inexplicably excited when she heard her talk about making a fire.

Seeing that the pot was hot, Su Yue poured oil, added chives, ginger, garlic, etc., and then added fish head, fish tail, fish bones, fish skin, etc. to stir-fry, just the first program immediately burst out the tempting aroma, The whole kitchen was full of aroma, so fragrant that Li Xiaoqing kept sniffing his nose and drooling.

Not only Li Xiaoqing, Wu Xiaoxiao, Wei Jia, and Maolin were also caught in the house by the smell. They ran to the door of the kitchen one after another, but they were too embarrassed to come in.

Su Yue was going to die of laughter by them, and she always felt that these few people had gone further and further on the road of foodies.

Wu Xiaoxiao swallowed and asked Su Yue eagerly: "Su Yue, what are you going to do to eat delicious food? Why is it so delicious?"

While putting the fish fillet in her hand into the pot, Su Yue replied, "I'm making sauerkraut fish. Tonight, let's steam some rice cakes and eat them! It's fragrant."

"Wow—" After hearing Su Yue's words, everyone got excited and could not wait to eat it right away.

Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were also driven out of the room by the fragrance and squeezed to the door of the kitchen, their heads stretched out to squeeze in.

When Wu Xiaoxiao and the three saw this, they hurriedly pushed them back to prevent them from looking into the kitchen.

Of course, Zhao Fang couldn't squeeze Wu Xiaoxiao and the other three, but they were squeezed to the back in the end, and they couldn't see what Su Yue was doing inside.

Zhao Fang jumped in anger, "I said why are you squeezing me? This kitchen belongs to everyone, not yours. Why don't you let us in?"

Wu Xiaoxiao gave her a "bah", "Su Yue's cooking is a secret recipe. You want to steal the secret recipe by squeezing in like this? Shame?"

Zhao Fang's careful thought was broken, but she refused to admit it, "If you don't want to cook a dish, you will return the secret recipe. What's worth peeking at!"

Mao Lin stretched out her arm to block the door of the kitchen, "If you don't mind, don't go in and see, so as not to be misunderstood by others."

Han Xiaoru disagreed, "We can use the kitchen too, and we also want to make dinner, why should we be occupied by you? Why can we only cook after you are done?"

Wei Jia also opened her hands to keep them from getting close, rolled her eyes and said, "Who told you to dilly-dally? We are advanced in the kitchen, naturally, we will cook first. If you want to cook first, run faster next time."

Zhao Fang and the two were still arguing, and Su Yue said in the kitchen, "Come in, I'm done, let's have dinner."

As soon as the three heard it, they couldn't bear to quarrel with the two of them, and as soon as they turned around, they squeezed into the kitchen, and couldn't wait to start with their chopsticks.

This time, no one stopped Zhao Fang and the two. The two looked at each other, walked into the kitchen, glanced at the food on the table, and smelled the fragrance in the air, they almost wanted to go up and grab some to eat.

But Su Yue and the others didn't bring them to eat at all, they could only continue to cook their own porridge. Compared with Su Yue and the others, what they eat is simply pig food.

Both Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were going to be angry.

But Su Yue was too lazy to deal with the two people's anger, she was looking at the system points panel. Just now, the pickled fish was judged to be Grade B by the system, and she got 20 points all at once, which made her excited.

This is the highest level of food that Su Yue has made since she came here. She immediately got 20 points, and she felt like she was going to get rich.

It would be nice to have more B-level or even A-level dishes, then the points should not go up.

Su Yue felt that she seemed to have found the right path again, which was to get ingredients from the people in the village. It's a seller's market right now, everything is lacking, and you need tickets to buy everything. Even if she can make money by selling food, she can't buy anything without enough tickets, and she has to go to the commune to buy everything she wants. Where does she have the time? Run to the commune every day.

The commune members here basically eat meat once every few months, and the whole family only goes to the commune to buy meat every few months. She is very diligent in visiting the commune once every few days. People in the village secretly whisper about her. is a glutton.

But she didn't care if she was said to be greedy, she was really greedy anyway.

Su Yue thought that it would be great if she could buy ingredients from the members in the future. Even if there was nothing else, it would be good to have more fish.

Thinking about it like this, I didn't expect it to come true the next day.

Since many women went home yesterday and said that Su Yuehua bought fish at a high price, many children stopped going crazy today and went to the river to catch fish. If they can catch fish, they can go to someone for stupid money Many Su Zhiqings exchanged money.

No, a young boy who was lucky enough to catch a fish today, ran to the place where Su Yue was working without saying a word. When he ran to Su Yue, he brushed his vest and put it inside. The fish that were still dancing were shown to her, "Sister Su Zhiqing, I caught the fish, do you want to buy it?"

When Su Yue saw it, she was happy. It was really a fish. It was much bigger than the one yesterday. She was still thinking about whether she could have more fish yesterday, but she didn't expect it to happen today.

God help me too, hahaha.

Su Yue hurriedly nodded to the child, "If you want it, give it to me, I'll give you the money." Then she took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to the little boy.

The little boy's eyes lit up. After receiving the money, he immediately gave the vest in his hand to Su Yue together with the fish, and said, "Sister Su Zhiqing, you can use my vest to hold the fish, and you can return the vest to me tomorrow."

Before Su Yue could say anything, the little boy ran away like the wind. After meeting with a group of children not far away, he couldn't wait to show them the money he got from selling fish.

Su Yue vaguely heard a child say: "My mother is right, Su Zhiqing is really stupid and has a lot of money, if only I could catch fish."

Su Yue: …

Although she was probably regarded as a fool by the whole village, Su Yue didn't mind at all, and she didn't spend time or money to get fresh ingredients, so it was too late for her to secretly have fun.

So, after the pickled fish, Su Yue made a West Lake vinegar fish with fish. Li Xiaoqing and the others couldn't wait to bite off their tongues. Su Yue also gained a lot of points while she was satisfied eating. Her points The rate of increase is considerable.

So, after two people in a row made money from Su Yue, the villagers knew that Su Yue people were stupid and easy to deceive, and the children went into the water to fish. The parents of these children did not allow their children to go into the water to play. , Now seeing that the child is going to touch fish and sell it to Su Yue, I don't object anymore, but support it.

A few adults also followed into the water to try their luck and see if they could catch a fish. If they did, it would be a huge profit.

With so many people touching fish, even if the fish are few and hard to touch, there are always one or two fish that are touched, which leads to Su Yue receiving a fish for sale every day, ranging from pickled cabbage fish to West Lake vinegar fish , and then from West Lake vinegar fish to steamed fish, and then from steamed fish to boiled fish, anyway, just the fish has been made in eighteen styles by Su Yue, even if you eat it every day, you will not get tired of it.

Su Yue has been making fish for many days to earn points, so she no longer makes food and sells it in the town. One is because she doesn't have time, and the other is because Han Aiguo got angry and didn't go there on purpose.

She worked hard every day to earn enough points to treat his leg, but this person rejected her cruelly and hurt her heart. If she didn't let this person cool, she would feel sorry for herself.

She must earn enough points to get the recipe as soon as possible, and then she will let him kneel and sing conquest! Hahaha... ...

Just when Su Yueman was running the train to entertain himself, the Han family finally muttered.

The third daughter-in-law Han wondered, "Why haven't Su Zhiqing come to our house during this time? She used to come here often to cook."

Han's second daughter-in-law asked Han Aimin, "Fourth, Su Zhiqing didn't let you sell food in town these days? What's the matter?"

Han Aimin shook his head, wondering in his heart, "No, Sister Su Yue didn't come to our house to make food, so she definitely didn't plan to sell food, maybe something happened."

Han Lao San's wife thought something, her face changed, and she couldn't help but say: "It's not Su Zhiqing who sells food by herself or finds someone else to sell it, she doesn't want to ask our fourth child to make money together, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the Han family looked at her suspiciously, thinking that what she said was also possible. After all, many people can do this job, and it is not for Han Aimin.

On the contrary, Han Aimin retorted: "No, since Sister Su Yue said it, she wouldn't let me do it for no reason. Sister Su Yue is not that kind of person."

The third daughter-in-law of Han pouted, "Then why haven't I seen anyone for so many days."

Everyone looked at each other, no one could tell what was going on.

Only Han Aiguo lowered his head and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Mrs. Han glanced at Han Aiguo, and scolded everyone with a stern face: "Don't talk nonsense here, even if Xiao Su doesn't ask our family to love the people, we can't say anything. It's a love for people to help our family, and it's okay to not help us. Reasonable to blame others, I tell you, even if you meet Xiao Su, don't be blind, or I will come back and show you a good look!"

The Han family are busy saying no, even if they are muttering in their hearts, they dare not say it.

After dinner, the Han family gathered in the yard to enjoy the shade and talk, but Han Aiguo stayed in the room and did not come out.

The old lady Han knocked on his door, and then pushed the door in after hearing the answer, and then saw him sitting at the table, not knowing what he was doing.

Really didn't sleep.

The old lady Han walked up to him and patted him on the back angrily. She hated iron and said, "Did you make Xiao Su angry, so people don't want to come?"

Han Aiguo pursed his lips and said lightly, "Mother, what are you talking about, how can I make Su Zhiqing angry?"

The old lady Han slapped him again, "Don't pretend to me, others don't know I know, you've been hiding from Xiao Su all this time, even an old lady of mine found out, can Xiao Su find out? You are so small No wonder Su is not angry!"

Han Aiguo opened his mouth, not knowing that his mother even discovered this.

The old lady Han sighed, dragged a stool next to him and sat down, and said earnestly: "patriotic, you are born by a mother, others don't know you, your mother knows you, you hide from Xiao Su Niang to see it, but Mother knows that you like Xiao Su, but you dare not say it because of your leg injury, right?"

"Mother, I'm not..."

However, Han Aiguo's words were interrupted by the old lady Han, "Don't tell me you don't like others, it's useless to lie to your mother, you can lie to your own heart if you have the ability."

Han Aiguo lowered his head, his eyes flashed with bitterness, even his mouth was bitter, and he couldn't say anything against his heart.

The old lady Han felt distressed when she saw him like this, and couldn't help but persuaded: "patriotic, mother knows that you don't want to implicate the good girl, but she can see that the girl Xiao Su also likes you, I can tell by the look in her eyes. Why does she want to help our family? It's not because she likes you, and the girl cares so much for you, it shows that they don't care about your legs, they don't despise you, why do you hide from them? "

Han Aiguo was silent for a while, and then said abruptly: "Mother, Su Yue is a good girl. She deserves a better man to take good care of her. I can't give her a good life, it will only drag her down. I can't be so selfish."

"You kid, it's not like you can't heal your legs..." Old Madam Han couldn't help her tears, "Mother wanted to match you and Xiao Su, I was thinking, if Xiao Su How nice it would be to be your daughter-in-law. Later, when I found out that Xiao Su also likes you, you didn't know how happy your mother was. But you... . . . You said you must be so hard on yourself Ah, can't you be nicer to yourself, obviously you have met a girl you like, and the girl likes you, so you must push them away. The big deal is that you will be good to other girls in the future, and your mother will also be nice to other girls. People are wronged, isn't that enough?"

Han Aiguo closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, don't talk about it, you can leave this matter alone, it's impossible for me and Su Yue."

Knowing that he is a stubborn donkey, the old lady Han was so angry that her heart hurts, "Okay, you can be stubborn, I think the girl will ignore you after you hurt her heart, what should you do! Good looks, good temperament, good craftsmanship, and making money, who doesn't like such a good girl, some people like you if you don't like it, and when Xiao Su is chased away by others, I won't regret it after seeing you!"

Han Aiguo didn't speak, but as long as he saw the terrifying blue veins on his hand under the table, he knew the pain in his heart at the moment.

After harvesting sweet potatoes for half a month in a row, this day is finally the end of the sweet potato harvesting business.

After harvesting the sweet potato fields, there are no major events. The members of the community who have been busy for a fall can finally take a breath, and they can finally have a period of slack in farming.

Su Yue's fear of being dominated by the blade was finally over, and she couldn't help but sighed in relief. She was glad in her heart that she was not injured by the knife, and she was lucky.

The brigade gave the members a day off, just in time for the fair the next day. Many members were planning to go to the commune to buy something. Su Yue had not been there for a long time, and planned to go to the fair with Li Xiaoqing and the others the next day. Buy something delicious and come back for a toothbrush.

Thinking of going to buy delicious food without going to work the next day, Su Yue felt at ease and slept soundly.

But when she slept in the middle of the night, Su Yue felt something cold dripping on her face in a daze.

When I opened my eyes in a daze, I heard the sound of rain.

It's raining!

Su Yue was startled, she got up from the bed, and then found that the top of her head was leaking.

Li Xiaoqing and Wu Xiaoxiao were also woken up by the rain, and they screamed, "The house is leaking!"
