Man Bao looked at the oil in the jar, and she knew it wasn't enough without Koko scanning her. She pursed her lips, put down the oil jar and went out sadly.
Xiaoqian understood it at a glance. She looked down at the oil in the jar and thought it was quite a lot.
If this is not enough, how much oil will be needed? She dare not mention this again, for fear that the child will pester her to eat fried fish.
Man Bao squatted in front of the wooden barrel containing the small fish, watching the small fish inside swim to and fro, she rolled her eyes, took a basin and fished in it.
When the big head saw them, he came up and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you fishing for them?"
Man Bao said: "I'm going to find Shan Bao."
The big head opened its mouth wide, grabbed the wooden basin quickly, and said to protect the food: "Sister, young master also has fish, so we don't need to send it."
"If it's not finished, I'll give half of it away, and the other half will be fried." Man Bao knew that asking someone for help would cost him money, so he decided to bring a little more, and after discussing with Bai Shanbao, give him half and fry the other half. eat.
Man Bao and Da Tou described how delicious the fried fish was. Da Tou was drooling and asked, "Do they have so much oil?"
"There must be," Man Bao said, "their kitchen is delicious and a lot of fun."
As a frequent visitor of the Bai family, Man Bao has been to their kitchen, and it can even be said that he knows the way.
Datou didn't stop him now, and helped to catch the fish, then called Daya to come over to help, and the two carried them to Bai's house together.
Zhou Xi and Mrs. Qian were busy in the kitchen, while Mrs. Feng and Mrs. He went to the vegetable garden. Old Zhou Tou just took his family out again, so there were no adults in the yard.
Man Bao just took Datou and Daya to Bai's house with a basin of fish.
Man Bao would come to the Bai family almost every day or two. The servants of the Bai family knew her very well. As soon as they saw her, they opened the door and let her in, and at the same time asked someone to inform the young master.
When Bai Shanbao ran out, he just saw them carrying the wooden basin, and he said happily, "I have fish too, so I don't want you to give it to me."
Man Bao said: "It's not free. I want to eat fried small fish, but my family doesn't have enough oil. I want to exchange half a pot of fish for fried small fish."
Bai Shanbao tilted his head in doubt, "How about fried small fish?"
"It's just fried in oil. You don't know how to cook, so you can understand after talking to the cook." Man Bao emphatically described how delicious the fried fish is.
Of course, she has never eaten it, but this does not prevent her from imagining it based on Koko's description.
Bai Shanbao couldn't help swallowing, and took them to the kitchen, "I want to eat the fried fish too."
Man Bao said no problem.
The cooks of the Bai family were also preparing dinner. Daji had just delivered the fish, and they were thinking about cooking a fish and frying another fish, when the young master came.
Man Bao doesn't know how to cook, but she has followed her sister-in-law since she was a child, and when she was even younger, she was cooked by Xiao Qian's back. Naturally, she is very familiar with cooking, and she has a model in her guidance. kind.
The cook was responsive to the young master's request, and although she felt that frying small fish was very oily, she still made another pot.
At first, the fire was a little big, but the cook is worthy of being a skilled cook, so she quickly figured out the size of the fire, processed the small fish according to Man Bao's method, marinated them, and smeared some flour, then served Pan frying.
The oil was sizzling, and the smell of a pot soon wafted up. The four children looked closely at it in surprise. The cook hurriedly told them to back away, for fear that the oil would splash on them.
The cook guessed that it was okay, so she took it out to control the oil, and after tasting it, she felt that it was okay, so she made a second pot.
Man Bao stopped looking at the frying pan, but squatted in front of the pan to look at the fried fish. He couldn't help swallowing, and Bai Shanbao couldn't help swallowing either.
The cook looked funny, and said: "Young master and ladies, you can eat as much as you want, I still fry it here."
Bai Shanbao stretched out his hand to grab one, Man Bao followed closely behind, Datou and Daya were a little cautious and did not dare to stretch out their hands.
Man Bao took a bite, and felt that it was crispy, crispy and delicious, so she pinched another one and stuffed it into Da Ya's mouth, and stuffed another one into Da Tou, and they ate happily together with Bai Shanbao.
The cook made one pot after another, and the four children started to eat almost without drying it out. When Mrs. Liu heard the news and rushed over, the four children had already eaten a lot.
Mrs. Liu quickly pulled them up and said, "You can't eat too much at one time, save it and eat slowly."
Bai Shanbao stuffed one into Grandma's mouth and said happily, "Grandma, it's delicious."
"Delicious food should be eaten in moderation," Liu taught them. "It's not good to eat too much of anything. Even if you like to eat, you should restrain yourself."
Mrs. Liu has eaten it before, and thinks that the fried small fish has a special flavor, which is very suitable for children as snacks, but it should not be eaten too much at one time.
In the end, Mrs. Liu made the decision and asked the cook to fry some more, and then filled a pot with Manbao and took it back. She reached out and touched her little head and said, "You can't eat any more tonight, and you can eat it later." Eat less, or your stomach will hurt, you know?"
Man Bao agreed happily, and went back with the big head and big girl carrying the basin.
Seeing the steaming hot fish brought back by the third child, Mrs. Qian was silent for a moment, and said to Mrs. Qian, "Can the yams in the field be harvested?"
Xiaoqian said: "I dug it today, it's quite big, it should be edible."
Qian said: "Dig some roots tomorrow and let Man Bao take them to Bai's house."
Little Qian responded.
Mrs. Qian looked at Man Bao who was distributing fried small fish to everyone, called her to her side, touched her flushed face and said, "Don't be so rude next time, how can you just bring the fish to look for it?" Came to the door?"
Man Bao replied in embarrassment, and said with bright eyes: "Mother, fried small dried fish is delicious, you can eat it too."
Qian smiled and shook her head, "Mother doesn't really smell the fishy smell, so I won't eat it, you guys can eat it."
Man Bao felt a little regretful, "My mother can't even eat such a delicious thing, mother, I want to send some dried fish to my husband and my friends."
Qian said with a smile: "If you want to give it away, just give it away."
Man Bao happily went to find a box to pack.
There is no good box at home, but the editor-in-chief’s box does. This is what Man Bao wants to pack. Zhou Yilang made it up for her. Man Bao found two smaller ones and filled them with small fish. I plan to bring a box tomorrow. Go to Mr. Zhuang, and give the other box to Zhou Zhoulang for him to bring to Miss Fu Er.
Last time Miss Fu Er gave Man Bao a beautiful letterhead with flowers on it, but Man Bao couldn't find the right thing to send back.
Of course, Man Bao not only sent Xiao Yuzai there, but also wrote to Miss Fu Er, telling her about the fun things she had done today. This was the most fun thing she had ever done since she grew up. It's so fun, just like Chinese New Year.
It would be great if they could go fishing every day. Now Manbao is already looking forward to the dam upstream breaking again, so they can go fishing every day and go to the river to play every day.
