Chapter 53: Learn to cook and medicinal fish

Views:

"Why does that mother want to marry someone like Yue Changlu? Mother's craftsmanship is so good that even if she does some food and selling, she can still make a living, right?" Young Jin didn't expect that Su's background would have such a background. Yes, she is actually the great-granddaughter of the former imperial chef! Who can believe it? The great-granddaughter of a former imperial chef was turned into a rural village, and she had to marry a domestic abuser for 15 years before she escaped!

Su Shi sighed, thinking that after the death of his parents, the uncle, who had always been in harmony with his own family, actually married off all three of their sisters with half-sale and half-sale. Seeing that the Su family still had some good looks, she "sold" it into the Yue family at a good price, but her two sisters didn't know where they were sold, and the world was separated for more than ten years.

Seeing Su's face showing sadness and not saying a word, You Jin knew that this was thinking of her sad old past, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother's craftsmanship is so good, if we don't have the money, we will go to the city to open the door. How about a restaurant?"

Su Shi smiled and sneered at her: "With my body, I can barely cook for a few of your sisters. Where can I do it in a restaurant?"

"Mother teach me!" The young beads on the side looked at Su Shi with bright eyes: "When I learn it, I can open a restaurant in the city!"

This is a good idea, "But Third Sister, you can't even cook rice well..." Now not only You Bao, but also You Ling You Luo came to expose her scars.

"It can't be learned, no!" Youzhu slapped the table with a slap, and looked at Su Shi firmly: "Mother teach me! I can definitely learn it!"

Seeing that she was so determined, Su Shi also knew that the third daughter's cooking skills were really hard to tell, so she turned her attention to You Jin and asked her for help.

You Jin slowly put down the chopsticks and nodded slightly: "You Zhu has this kind of heart is a good thing, she can make up for her diligence, so let her follow her mother every day to help you start, even if you can't learn it, it can help you lighten your burden. no?"

With the approval of the eldest sister, Xiaozhu glanced proudly at a few sisters who complained about her: "You wait, I will definitely be able to make the best food in the world for you to eat!"

Everyone present was amused by Xiaozhu's words, and the sisters were frolicking together. At this moment, no one thought that a "terrorist" who could only set fire to the kitchen would come to learn how to cook.

Young Jin is very optimistic about this matter, even if Young Zhu can't learn a few percent, it is a good thing to remember the recipe of the royal chef back then. Now it can only be like this. In the future, it will be necessary to write down all the recipes that Su Clan has remembered, and it can be regarded as a family heirloom.

Youzhu is an impatient person and a serious person. When he said that he wanted to learn cooking, he really started to learn from the Su family.

But the reality is always different from the imagination. When the third fish was fried into black charcoal from the pot, Rao, who was originally supportive of her decision, had a headache: "This..." Although Young Jin's cooking is not as good as Su's, but he can still eat it, right? How did Juju do it? Fried the fish into a black charcoal when she and the Su family never took their eyes off her? ?

The Su family also wanted to cry but had no tears. Her grandfather, who was disliked by her grandfather and had no talent, did a lot better than Xiaozhu! This is the third fish wasted!

Young beads expressionlessly poured the "fish" into the yard outside the kitchen. The four big puppies thought they had something to eat, and excitedly circled around the young beads, but when they saw it, it was another piece of black charcoal, and they immediately froze. All scattered.

"Pfft, hahahahaha!" You Jin couldn't help it anymore, how bad is Young Pearl's craftsmanship, even the four puppies who are the least picky eaters dislike it.

Several of the younger sisters who were watching in the yard also laughed and leaned forward and backward. You Bao, who laughed until tears came out, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and persuaded: "Third sister, why don't we change jobs?"

The more this is the case, the more unwilling Xiaozhu is, and she stomps her feet angrily: "I don't believe I can't do it well!" Generously, she turned back to the kitchen and continued to poison the next fish.

Young Jin, who was panting heavily against the door frame, rubbed her stomach, which was aching from laughing. How many years has she not laughed so wanton? After a long delay, he entered the kitchen again, stood beside Young Zhu who was gnashing his teeth and slaughtering fish, and said softly, "You Zhu, you have only fried three fish now, and you are so angry that if you learn to cook with your mother, you will be It will be more hardships, and if you can’t bear the small setbacks in front of you, then you should give up now.”

Xiaozhu paused while holding the knife to scrape the scales of the fish, then clenched her teeth and chopped off the tail of the fish: "I don't, elder sister, I can do it!"

Young Jin hopes that every younger sister can learn something, since Young Pearl is so firm in her own mind, she naturally won't stop her, and boasted with a smile: "At least you are killing fish better now than before. It's a big improvement!"

Su Shi sighed and whispered to Young Jin, who came out of the kitchen: "Fortunately, the fish, vegetables, and vegetables at home don't need to be bought with money, otherwise, I don't know how much money I'll waste every day!"

"It's okay, since you have this heart, it's not a delicacy from the mountains and the sea, but a few fish and bamboo shoots are everywhere in the mountains and water. Our family can still afford it." You Jin smiled and said to the young beads. a few words.

The coriander root that Youngjin had dug from the bamboo forest had been dried and ground into powder, and he had also tried medicinal fish in a small area, and the effect was not bad. So every time I went up the mountain, I dug up a lot of coriander flowers and came back, and Su Shi also laughed and said that the coriander flowers on this mountain would be destroyed by her.

Carrying a large bamboo basket on his back, holding a fishing net bought by a merchant from the south, and a net bag for fishing, taking advantage of the watery night, the three sisters, young gold, silver and bead, have grown into imposing manners. The big dog puppy quietly went to a small water pool on the upper reaches of Wuliqiao River with a lantern.

The small water pool is located in the middle of the two bamboo forests. The water of the Wuliqiao River flows from other places, and only after this circle flows to the direction of Wuliqiao. It is said that it is a lake, and the area is not that big, only less than half an mu. The villagers nearby call this small pool called Luoshui Pool.

The night was shrouded in the earth, and sisters Xiaoyin and Xiaozhu were followed by a puppy, holding a lantern, cautiously jumping, still a little scared: "Elder sister, do we have to go out to fish at night?"

Young Jin, who was in the lead, casually said "um": "It's too dazzling for us to carry so many fish back in the daytime." The night was just right, but just in case, Young Jin also had a hatchet around his waist. If something really happens, it can be used in an emergency.

On the night of April, the flowing river was still a little cool. Young Jin handed one end of the fishing net to Young Yin and Young Zhu and sisters to hold it, then took off her outer clothes, and took the other end of the fishing net to cross the river that was about to drown herself. Go to the opposite bank, and then tie the extended hemp rope tightly to the big stone by the river.

The night was so dark that the small lanterns could not illuminate the surrounding environment. Young Jin searched for some dead branches and lit the bonfire. The dried and dried bamboos were particularly easy to burn. The faces of the three sisters were all red, and the surrounding environment of Luoshuitan was also clearly photographed.

After blocking the water outlet of the falling water pool with a fishing net, You Jin held a lantern and went around the water inlet of the falling water pool, poured all the coriander root powder that he had collected during this period of time, and the three sisters waited quietly. Drug effect onset.

"Elder Sister, this sinking pool is so big, can these medicinal fish grass really work?" Young Zhu looked at the gurgling water surface that was still motionless, and was a little worried that the medicinal fish grass would not work.

It was also the first time for Youjin to have such a large area of medicinal fish. Because he was afraid that the medicinal effect would not be enough, he also added twice as much coriander root powder. Looking at the water with heavy eyes, he said, "Wait a minute, the effect of the medicine is not so fast."

Sure enough, the three sisters waited for a quarter of an hour with big eyes and small eyes, and the originally calm water of the falling water pool began to float up fish with their white belly turned over! The eyes of the three sisters suddenly lit up. Xiaoyin Xiaozhu fished the fish into the back basket one by one with the net bag tied to the wooden stick, and Xiaojin went directly into the water and picked the fish weighing more than a pound at the outlet blocked by the fishing net. .

Luoshuitan has never dried up all year round, and ordinary villagers do not come here to fish, so there are many big fish at the bottom of the pool. Carp and grass carp of five or six pounds can be found everywhere. Young Jin did not expect that there are so many. Harvest, within half a quarter of an hour, the baskets carried by the three sisters were all full, but there were still many big fish floating in the water, and no one wanted to let go of so many fish in vain! They even used the rattan on the shore to pass through the cheeks, and slipped several big fish in their hands.

There was really no other way, Young Jin sighed and said: "Put the small ones back, we only need the big ones today, let's come back next time!"

In the end, the three sisters carried the basket with a heavy back to the house, and did not forget to put a wet linen on the basket to prevent the fish from dehydrating and dying.

Su shi coaxed a few children to sleep, and has been waiting anxiously for the daughters to come back. She has also heard that coriander root powder can medicinal fish, how could she have thought that the eldest daughter would go to medicinal fish at night? He was too weak to help himself, so he had to work at home in a hurry. Finally I heard movement outside the hospital: "Mother, we are back!"

Hearing the daughters cheering at the door, Su Shi was relieved, and quickly walked over to open the door: "You guys are really too bold!" But after all, she hurriedly helped her daughters put down the basket. , and urged several children to take a hot bath: "There is water all over the body, I don't know, I thought you fell into the river!"

Xiaozhu stuck out her tongue in a guilty conscience, put down the basket and went to take a bath with her two sisters. Only after Mr. Su sent the three daughters away did he notice that the smallest fish they brought back were three or four kilograms, and the big ones were at least seven or eight kilograms of big fish!

Seeing that the effect of the medicine had passed, and the big fish swimming crowded in the big wooden basin prepared by the Su family, the Su family couldn't help muttering to herself, "This fish is too big!"

Young Jin, who came out of the bath, saw the surprised look on Su Shi's face, and grinned: "Mother, there are still many such big fish in the falling pool, I wonder if I will go to the village someday to see if there are any. If someone has a small boat, let us borrow it to make a messenger, and we will definitely be able to bring the big fish that fell into the pool!"

Today, Young Jin's sisters only caught a dozen or so fish and came back, less than one-fifth of the sinking pool. Young Jin naturally gave birth to the idea of punting to go to the medicinal fish next time. Think about the moonlight. The fish that turn over the white belly are all silver!
