Chapter 1014 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a wealthy peasant girl (10)
The head of the big grass carp is stewed in tofu; the body of the fish is cut in half and half is salted for tomorrow; the other half is cut into fillets to make a pickled fish dish.
Before the separation, she had eaten pickled sauerkraut made by Mr. Cui. The taste was not good, but at least it showed that sauerkraut was popular in this area.
Scrape off the scales of the small fish, remove the internal organs and wash them clean.
Find a container to put the fish scales and internal organs in, then let them fertilize.
Xi grouper has fewer spines, so it can be braised in braised or braised fish. However, since we had pickled fish, we braised it in braised pork;
The other two types of fish have thin flesh and many thorns, so they are suitable for being coated in flour and fried. They will be crispy and the bones can be chewed, making them particularly fragrant.
But this was too wasteful, so I marinated and dried the small fish and saved it for later eating.
That night we had fish head and tofu pot, pickled fish, and braised creek grouper, which was quite sumptuous.
"Have you washed your little hands? Then why are you still standing? Sit down and eat! There are no chairs at home, only old tree stump stools. Don't mind."
Xu Yin greeted the three children.
"Come on, Goudan, hand out chopsticks to your friend."
Xu Yin handed Goudan three pairs of bamboo chopsticks she had cut herself.
Goudan swallowed, looked away from the sumptuous dishes, and carefully divided his chopsticks.
Tiewa and Huzi swept away their usual joy and sat down solemnly.
Xu Yin had already served them rice, and also brought a few empty bowls. She filled them each with a bowl of fish head and tofu soup, and put some pickled fish fillets on their rice: "Eat quickly! The fish is cold.
The smell is strong.”
"Thank you, aunt in the lobby." This is Goudan.
"Thank you Aunt Erya." This is Tiewa and Huzi.
Xu Yin: "..."
What the hell is Aunt Erya?
"Just call me Aunt Yinyin from now on."
Xu Yin corrected them.
By the way, she is only sixteen now. Isn’t it a bit inferior to be called aunt by a six- or seven-year-old Zaizai?
But think about her soul age... forget it, she is a Buddha, she can call her whatever she likes, the title is just a code name!
"Auntie Lobby, the food you cook is so delicious!"
“This is the best dish I’ve ever had!”
“Fish and sauerkraut stewed together turns out to be so delicious!”
"I'll let my mother stew it like this later."
"Then you have to catch such a big fish!"
"The small fish is also delicious, and everything cooked by Aunt Yinyin is delicious!"
"Yes! It's delicious!"
The three children ate and praised it, shaking their heads and looking very cute.
Xu Yin listened to the children's rainbow farts and was very satisfied with the food. In terms of deliciousness, it really comes from fish that has lived in a pure natural environment for a long time!
After they had eaten and drank enough, the three children helped Xu Yin pack the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen. They also rushed to fetch water, wash the dishes, and wipe the table. They were very diligent.
Tiewa rubbed her overstuffed belly and said shamefully: "Aunt Yinyin, I ate too much."
Xu Yin was delighted: "Not too much, not too much! How much can you eat no matter how much you can eat at your age? I eat most of it!"
With her body, she is truly a big eater! Sorry!
"Aunt Yinyin, do you like tofu very much?" Huzi asked shyly.
He found that Xu Yin drank several bowls of tofu soup. Compared with fish, tofu was much cheaper, so he thought about sending another piece of tofu to Aunt Yinyin tomorrow. This time he would not charge for it!
"Okay!" Xu Yin did not refuse. Although the tofu made by the Wang family is brine, it is relatively tender and she quite likes it. "But I have to go to the mountain tomorrow. If your family grinds the tofu, give it to me."
Leave a piece and I'll pick it up when I get back."
"Auntie Lobby, what are you going to do up the mountain tomorrow? Collect firewood? I'll help you pick it up." Goudan said his mother's advice and puffed up his chest, "I know where there is ready firewood, Auntie Lobby, I'll help you."
you go."
Except for the Iron Triangle friends, he didn’t tell anyone else about that place!
Xu Yin smiled and touched his head: "Thank you Goudan, but I am not going to collect firewood tomorrow. There is still enough firewood. I am going to find the seeds of a plant called castor bean. It looks like this. Have you seen it?"
?”
As she spoke, she took out a few castor beans. The shells of the castor beans were thorny. She peeled off the thorny shells to reveal the kernels with yellow-brown lines inside.
Thinking that they often travel up the mountains and rivers, they might have picked these small prickly cones out of curiosity.
However, after Goudan and the other three recognized it, they all shook their heads: "I've never seen this before."
Xu Yin was not disappointed and said, "It's okay, I'll look for it myself."
"Aunt Yinyin, let's go look for it with you!"
"Yes! Let's look for it together. There is strength in numbers!"
The three of them insisted on accompanying Xu Yin to find castor beans. They made an appointment to come early tomorrow and ran home quickly.
The next day, just as Xu Yin was preparing her belongings for going up the mountain, she heard the voices of Goudan and the others coming from outside the hospital.
"You came quite early! Have you eaten?" Xu Yin handed the three of them a cereal bag.
She took the time to steam a lot of these kinds of steamed buns, including those made with grains, wild vegetables, and dates and walnuts.
But she didn't take out the latter yet, and would eat it for lunch.
"Auntie, we have eaten." Goudan took out an egg and handed it to Xu Yin, "My mother specially cooked this for Auntie."
Goudan Niang heard yesterday that Goudan had told Xu Yin that dinner was both fish and rice when he returned home. Thinking about it, Xu Yin spent a lot of money, so she got up specially this morning and boiled an egg for Goudan to bring over.
Tiewa and Huzi also brought her things.
"Aunt Yinyin, this is the mung bean cake that my uncle brought back from the town. My grandma hid it and was reluctant to give it to us. I am finally generous today. Please try it!"
"Aunt Yinyin, this is the pickle pancake made by my mother herself. Eat it while it's hot!"
Xu Yin had cooked a small stove for herself in the morning. How could she eat so much food? However, she did not refuse. She put it away with a smile and said: "Go back and thank your mother and grandma for me. I accepted it the first time. Next time
Don’t be so polite in reply!”
Seeing that she accepted it, the three little guys felt relieved and tasted the steamed buns Xu Yin gave them.
"Aunt Yinyin, the steamed buns you make are so delicious!"
“It’s much more delicious than my mother’s cooking!”
“Everything my auntie does is delicious!”
Xu Yin held back her laughter, she was so good at blowing rainbow farts!
But it's not all bad. When she kneaded the coarse dough, she mixed in some white flour, which made the dough pliable and soft, and it didn't cut the throat so much.
One and three children carried their own backpacks, which contained hemp ropes for tying firewood and other household items, and went up the mountain talking and laughing.
Cui Qiaoqiao, who was about to go up the mountain, looked at their backs, surprised and frightened: Could it be that Mrs. Xu wants to sell some of the dog eggs?
In this life, she persuaded her mother to split up the family before fate changed. Mrs. Xu couldn't find a chance to sell her, so she took up the idea of selling her as a child from the village?
The more Cui Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more panicked she became. How could she think of going up the mountain? So she turned around and went straight to Goudan's house to report the news.
Xu Yin took the three little guys all the way up the mountain.
They often come to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, collect firewood, and dig out bird eggs. This road is very familiar to them.
