After five minutes, Li Wen opened the lid and took a look, "Well! The water has boiled and the fish meat is ready. Mom, you put the fish head in first. The fish head is larger and harder to cook. Please cook it for a while."

After a while, the smell of the fish head soup with red oil was boiled out, and the aroma was fragrant. Li Wen saw the fish head rolling up and down in the pot, it was already cooked, and shouted: "Po, the fish head is cooked, you can put the fish fillets in."

"

The fish fillets marinated in egg starch were white and tender, and were put into the pot one by one by the old lady. Li Wen sat behind the stove and cooked the pot.

It smells so good! When your grandfather and I were working in Chang'an when we were young, the smell wafting out of a large restaurant was just like this. The old lady smelled the aroma of boiled fish emanating from the pot, and recalled in a daze.

"Po, I'm going to let you taste this taste today. The fish meat has floated up, and we can take it out of the pot. Li Wen pointed at the pot and said with a smile."

"Okay, okay, I'll try it today. The old lady is very quick with her hands and feet." A pot of water and fish soup was filled with four large pots of water.

Li Wen sprinkled chopped green onion and Sichuan peppercorns into each pot.

"Po, you see, after the pot is cooked, you need to put some chili pepper segments, peppercorns, coriander, and green onion, and then pour a layer of hot oil on it, but now that the conditions are limited, I don't care about that. I will definitely let you eat authentic water when your life gets better.

Cook fish.

"Try it first to see how it tastes. Li Wen picked up a piece of fish and fed it to the old lady."

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's really good. The fish is very fresh and tender. It's so spicy that it makes your mouth feel oily. It's delicious. It's better than the ones in state-owned restaurants in our county." The old lady took a bite and praised

.

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as the old lady said. The old lady praised it, firstly, because of her grandson's filial piety, and secondly, life has been really difficult in recent years, and it has been a long time since I have eaten such rich meat.

Li Wen took a bite and found that it tasted really good. Although there was a little less oil and water, it was already a rare delicacy. Even in county state-owned restaurants, it is difficult to have such hard food.

"Okay, Awen, you go out and call your mother and they have dinner. I'll make crucian carp soup and then we can start the meal. It's rare that there is so much meat today so we can all eat better," the old lady smiled happily.

"Okay, mom, you do it first, I'll go get my mother and the others to eat." Li Wen saw that there was only one soup left and there was no point in leaving it alone.

It was almost lunch time, and some women in the village had already begun to rush back to cook. Li Wen walked quickly towards the wheat field.

The production team's wheat field is very large, just outside the village committee, with an area of ​​more than ten acres. At this time, hundreds of people are working enthusiastically in the wheat field. Some large animals are pulling big stones to grind the wheat.

Several men also pulled Xiao Shi Nian along.

The women used wooden forks to constantly turn over the straw so that the stones could be crushed cleanly. Some used wooden forks to transfer the straw to one side, and some used the wind to remove impurities in the wheat. Some younger children

Use a wooden shovel to shovel the wheat to dry in the drying field.

Boom, boom, boom, the gong of the production team rang, and it was time to get off work.

The adults found some shade under the trees to rest, while the children went home to help bring food.

The adults don't go home at noon because they want to take more time to rest. After all, working hungry for a day and a half is unbearable. Many people are so hungry that they secretly eat a handful of wheat to satisfy their hunger while working. After work, they all look for shade.

Start sitting on the floor to rest. Only a light sleep can relieve the fatigue.

"Mom, second aunt, Li Wen saw mother and second aunt walking towards the shade of a tree in the distance," he shouted hurriedly.

The two of them stopped when they saw Li Wen calling them from a distance.

"What's wrong, Awen? I didn't let you rest. What were you doing in the fields?" asked his mother Wang Chunmei.

"Mom, let's go. You and the second aunt and second sister, let's go home for dinner today. We have delicious food," Li Wen whispered mysteriously.

"Hey! Wenzi, if you have something delicious or mysterious, please tell me about it so that I can get greedy," said neighbor Aunt Hua, who was also beside her and said with a smile.

"Hey, I didn't tell you, but your Aqiang also came to ask you to go home for dinner. Look," Li Wen pointed at Li Qiang who was now at the door of the village committee.

Aunt Hua saw Li Qiang from a distance and hurried over.

"Okay, let's go home and see if there is anything good to eat today. The second aunt took the straw hat and called the two daughters in the distance.

Several people hurriedly followed Li Wen back home from the field. On the way, Aunt Hua knew that today's fish was caught by Li Wen and was waiting for them.

There was no one else on the road, so Aunt Hua said with a smile: "His fifth aunt, your Wenzi is really capable. Today my Qiangzi helped him catch pigweed. Wenzi gave Aqiang two fishes. The little two weighed a catty, and they must be the same at noon."

I told you to go home and eat fish!"

Wang Chunmei looked at Li Wen, smiled and said to Aunt Hua: "Aqiang helped Wenzi hunt pigweed. He was his brother's fishermen and gave Aqiang his share. Not to mention, he went home to eat, and he had to take a rest after eating.

, I have been very tired from the busy farming these days."

Several people returned home, and their father and second uncle were already home and taking a shower.

Seeing Li Wen and others coming back, little Li Juan who was lying on the kitchen door jumped over and said, "Brother's fish today is so delicious. My mother-in-law just gave me a piece and said you made it. You are so awesome."

The little guy flatters me non-stop.

"You little greedy cat, you little flatterer," Li Wen scratched the little guy's nose and said with a smile.

"It's time to wash up and eat. Today's meal is very rich. It's all meat." The old lady brought out the boiled fish and fish soup.

Instantly the spicy smell filled the yard, and the children and adults quickly washed up and sat down at the table.

"Wow! Today's dishes are so fragrant and full of oil. Your cooking skills have improved greatly today," Li Yong and Li Tao exclaimed as they lay on the table and smelled the boiled fish in the basin.

"Hurry up and sit down, dinner is ready." The old lady put the dustpan containing the doughnuts on the table and divided two doughnuts into each person.

After finishing the two pots of meat and two large pots of fish soup at noon, there are still more in the evening. When we started eating, the old lady gave the order and everyone saw their chopsticks flying up in the air.

"Ah, the fish bone is stuck in my throat," Li Tao jumped up and said!

"Come on, drink the vinegar quickly," the old lady quickly handed over the vinegar on the table. The little guy picked up half the bowl of vinegar and drank it all in one gulp. He coughed a few times and coughed out the fish bones, and then continued again.

Join in the fun.

"Eat slowly, why are you in a hurry? Be careful with the fish bones," the old lady kept telling everyone as she watched the people enjoying their food.

"It's really comfortable and delicious," Li Min said with a smile after finishing the fish soup in the bowl.

It takes one hour to cook and ten minutes to eat. In less than ten minutes, the pots in front of everyone are completely clean.

Second uncle Li Dezhong drank the last bit of fish soup and thought about it, "The article is good. You didn't read it in vain. This boiled fish is spicy, fragrant and rich. I ate it after work at noon and broke out in a sweat."

, my body and bones immediately felt much more relaxed, and the amount of meat today was sufficient. It tasted better than the food I had eaten in the county restaurant before. ωωw..net

Everyone in the family also nodded one after another, they were all conquered by today's delicious food.

"Everything used is good. It must be delicious, but it consumes a lot of oil. Today's meal only used 2 taels of oil and four eggs for the condiments alone," the old lady was still feeling distressed at this time.

After everyone heard this, they realized how rich the meal was at noon.

Father Li Deyou smiled and said, "Mom, don't feel bad, we have to take a long-term view. This time Awen has a job as a fisherman, so he can fish every now and then to supplement the family income. Firstly, our family can eat for ourselves, and secondly, we can secretly exchange fish for

Get some oil or something."

Second brother, tonight you and the boss will dig a sink in the backyard cellar to store some water.

Awen, we will go fishing tonight, and tomorrow night we will go to your aunt's house in the city and ask your uncle to exchange some things for us.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. My eldest uncle worked as a worker in a machinery factory in the city. Now the workers are well treated and have high wages, and they are relatively wealthy. Through my eldest uncle, I can exchange for some things that are not available in the countryside.

"Don't say what you say at home outside. Anyone who talks nonsense outside will be punished by me." The few children had already finished their meal and ran out to play. Only the older ones were left in the house. The father warned after looking around.

Everyone was satisfied with their meal at noon, and when it was time to rest, they all went off to the ground.

After lunch, Li Wen took a two-hour lunch break. After eating these few meals, Li Wen obviously felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, and the feeling of weakness in his body had disappeared.

Mom, the pig is barking again. I'm going to feed the pig.

In the pigsty, two black pigs weighing more than 100 kilograms were grunting and arching the door of the pigsty. When they saw someone coming, their voices became louder. Li Wen scolded him, took out the weeds he pulled in the warehouse yesterday and threw them into the pigsty.

In the trough, two pigs competed to eat.

"Awen, how can you feed pig grass directly? It needs to be boiled, otherwise the pigs will easily have diarrhea after eating it," grandma Guo Xiuyun scolded when she walked to the backyard and saw Li Wen feeding the pigs.

Damn, you can't boil pigweed, it won't be nutritious when boiled, and if you always cover the pot when cooking pig food, the pigs will easily get sick and have diarrhea after eating it.

"Isn't this how the older generation has been raising pigs and cooking pig food?" grandma Guo Xiuyun said.

"Grandma, do you think wild boars eat pig food? They don't eat it either. They mainly eat grass, grass seeds, wild fruits, and crops. Let's cook pig food. You see, pigs are very easy to get sick. Many pigs are raised in the village every year.

It is unlikely that they will die. Why do we raise two pigs at home to prevent them from dying?

I read a book on raising pigs in a bookstore. The book said that by raising pigs scientifically, pigs can be slaughtered in half a year, and the pigs can grow to weigh 200 kilograms. If we catch pigs in the spring and kill the pigs at the end of the year, they may not grow for a whole year.

One hundred pounds.

"If a large-scale pig factory raises thousands of pigs at a time, how big of a pot will it have to cook pig food? Large-scale pig factories only feed dry feed and green grass," Li Wen told the old lady.

"The past few years have been bad, and we don't have that much feed to feed the pigs. Besides, our ancestors have always caught pigs at the beginning of the year and sold them at the end of the year," the old lady said stubbornly.

"Po, I plan to sell the fish I caught recently in exchange for money to catch a piglet in the team. I want to try whether the scientific breeding mentioned in the book can be successful. If it can, our family can make a lot of money a year.

The commune can give a lot of rewards," Li Wen thought for a moment and replied.
