When he got home, Shuangxi was very tired, and it was almost dark. Shuangxi didn't care about doing anything else. There happened to be fresh fish, so he quickly asked Shen Yan to handle one.
Shen Ziyan changed his clothes and lit a fire.
Shuangxi kneaded the dough and wanted to make pot stickers. When making pot stickers, it is similar to steamed buns, but it is best to make pot stickers with half cornmeal and half white flour.
I use a large iron pot at home. The bottom of the pot is used to cook the fish, and there are pot stickers on the sides. Once it comes out of the pot, it is very delicious.
A fish was quickly processed. It was a coincidence that this fish actually had a long roe and a piece of fish oil. In the past, Shuangxi would not have put this fish oil into the pot, but today It's different from the past. This family doesn't eat anything rich in food on weekdays. Shuangxi doesn't want to miss anything that can make everyone gain weight.
And the fish bubbles were also stewed by Shuangxi.
Use a little oil to turn the fish upside down and fry it in the pan, add seasonings, add water, and it's done.
Then Shuangxi put a little oil on one side of the dough and stuck it on top of the water in the pot. If there is no oil, the pot stickers will stick to the pot when the pot stickers are removed.
Although Shen Yan was not idle all day, he knew that his elder brother was even more tired, and he felt sorry for Xi'er, so he volunteered to stay in the kitchen to light the fire.
Shuangxi saw that there was no need for him here for the time being, so he had nothing to do, so he took two basins, put water in one basin, and selected some that were not very lively or dead in the other basin. The dead fish were placed inside.
The weather is still hot now. If the dead fish are not disposed of in time, the fish will be spoiled overnight and they will not be edible by then.
Small fish are much easier to handle. Shuangxi took a pair of scissors, cut off the fish head, and then squeezed gently to squeeze out all the fish's internal organs.
As for the fish scales, if the fish is too small, there is no need to scrape the scales at all. If the fish is larger, just scratch it with your fingernail and it will fall off easily.
Because the smell of fish was very fishy, Shuangxi put the pot behind his house and used the last bit of light before dark to clean it.
Listening to the crisp sound of the fish that he had cleaned and thrown into the clear water, Shuangxi felt peaceful and warm. A life like this was what he wanted, right?
When I was a professional white-collar worker, I had to face reprimands from my bosses and difficulties from customers from time to time. I lived in a forest of steel and concrete. Although my material conditions were much better, I was not necessarily as happy as I am now.
I have to say that with the passage of time, Shuangxi's mentality has changed a lot. From being resistant to this world at the beginning, he has gradually become attached to this world.
Shuangxi wiped a little sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. When he lowered his head and looked up again, he found that someone had pushed open the back door of his house.
At this time, who will come to your home?
Shuangxi raised his head in confusion, and saw a man in gray cloth. His whole body was wet, and nothing was dry. He was walking towards him... Is that Quanzi?
Even when I went down to the pond, I never saw anyone as wet as Quanzi, because his clothes were all wet, and the thin summer shirt stuck to his body, fully revealing his strong body. .
The pants stick to her slender thighs, and Izumi's leg shape can be clearly seen.
The broken hair on the temples that was originally fluttering in the wind has now stuck to his face. Quanzi's fox eyes have the same light as Xingzi's, which sets off his whole face, giving him some evil enchantment.
Perhaps the word enchanting is not appropriate to describe a man, but Quanzi has an aura that is as enchanting as a fox. Even so, Quanzi does not appear feminine at all, but has a charming aura of a man.
.
Shuangxi was frightened by the way Quanzi appeared. Did she come to her home to stage a wet temptation? However, Shuangxi's ridiculous idea only flashed through his mind.
"Brother Quanzi, what happened to you? Did you fall into the water?" Shuangxi asked anxiously. Did Quanzi fall into the pond after everyone left?
But if he fell into the pond, why would he come to his house if he didn't go home and change clothes first?
Just when Shuangxi was confused, Quanzi's hand moved, and Shuangxi saw that he was holding the mouth of a sack with one hand and carrying something behind.
Quanzi spoke slowly: "Xi'er, I brought you something."
"Ah?" Shuangxi was a little shocked, Quanzi was...
Before Shuangxi could react, Quanzi turned around and looked behind him, and found that no one was behind the yard of Shuangxi's house. Also, the sky was almost completely dark at this time, and everyone in the village had caught fish. They were afraid now.
They all cook fish at home.
Where would anyone pass by the wasteland behind Shuangxi's house?
Quanzi put the sack down, grabbed the bottom of the sack, and tipped it down. Only a few gray-brown things rolled out of it.
Shuangxi subconsciously lowered his head to look, and saw several oval-shaped things of different sizes rolling down at his feet... These were turtles!
"Quan...Brother Quanzi, this is..." Shuangxi did not expect that Quanzi would catch a turtle for him. Didn't he say that this is the immortal of Zhentang and cannot catch it? Quanzi is an ancient person, and those superstitious customs are probably...
It had already entered into his mind long ago, how could he catch turtles at this time?
Quanzi moved his lips, and although his tone was light, it was filled with a deep affection that Shuangxi could not escape: "Xi'er, I saw you today when you saw me throwing the old turtle into the pond, with a disappointed look on your face, as if you were very disappointed.
I want this thing... so I went down to the pond to look for it for you while everyone else was gone."
When Shuangxi heard Quanzi say this, he was a little moved. Just because of his look, Quanzi could be like this. Everyone would feel a little sad, right?
However, he was moved anyway, Shuangxi still had reason, and said worriedly: "Brother Quanzi, is it difficult to find the old turtle after draining the water? You are already soaked, why don't you go home and change clothes first? The night breeze is cold.
Very, it would be bad if you catch a cold."
Quanzi received Shuangxi's concern. Listening to Shuangxi's soft and worried words, a fire suddenly rose in her heart. She felt that the wet clothes were no longer cold. No matter how hard and tired she was, it was worth it.
Quanzi's gaze was like a black whirlpool that could suck double happiness into it. He chuckled and said, "It's okay. When I was building the pond, I tied the old turtle with grass branches in the shallow water and let it go.
It will be easier to find the water after the people leave."
Shuangxi looked at the turtles on the ground and didn't know what to do. Although she liked this thing very much and wanted to stay, she still said worriedly to Quanzi: "Brother Quanzi, you picked this old turtle for me.
I'm very grateful to you, but after all, this belongs to Zhentang. If you brought it for me, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you?"
Shuangxi looked at Quanzi and said seriously: "Brother Quanzi, if the people in the village find out about this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stay in the village... Let's release the old turtle."
Shuangxi didn't want to implicate Quanzi just because of his own selfish desires.
Quanzi's charming voice slowly sounded: "I was originally in the mountains. When I was hungry as a child, what didn't I eat? Let alone turtle meat. If I got hungry, I would even eat dragon meat.
I don't care about this, Xi'er, don't worry."
Quanzi paused for a moment and then said: "If Xi'er is afraid of offending the Tang God, then go and release the animals yourself, and I'll leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Quanzi just pushed open the courtyard door, Shuangxi's sincere voice came from behind: "Brother Quanzi, thank you."
Shuangxi looked at Quanzi's soaked back, feeling a little sour in her heart. If she had a choice, why would she be willing to let this man down?
Shen Ziyan came around from one side at this time. He had heard someone coming from his house a long time ago, so he rushed over to see it. When he saw it was Quanzi, he didn't know why he hesitated, listening to every word Quanzi said was full of deep feelings.
Yes, Shen Ziyan felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't bear to interrupt Quanzi.
When Shuangxi saw Shen Ziyan coming out, he said in a normal tone: "Ziyan, Brother Quanzi just sent some old turtles... Although people in the village say these things are the Pond God, I know that the old turtles can heal the body.
, thinking about stewing it for the Ice Fairy to eat, you see..."
Shuangxi still wanted to ask Shen Ziyan about this matter. If Shen Ziyan also cared about this unwritten rule in the village, no matter how distressed Shuangxi was, he would still go to the village.
Shen Ziyan lowered his head and looked at the old turtles on the ground that had already retracted their limbs into their shells. Wen Yan said, "Stay here. Quanzi is right. I was so hungry when I was a kid that I ate this thing."
"
When Shuangxi saw Shen Ziyan speaking, he felt happy and said with a smile: "Since it was sent by Brother Quanzi, I will cook it tomorrow. Let's invite Brother Quanzi and Brother Dashan to eat together."
After Shuangxi said this, she felt a little regretful. She knew that when Quanzi came to see off the turtle just now, Shen Ziyan was actually on the side of the house. Quanzi had thoughts about her in the first place. The scene just now was really ambiguous.
Now she is talking about inviting the Yun brothers to eat, maybe Shen Ziyan is angry with her?
Thinking of this, Shuangxi felt a little worried.
Shen Ziyan's expression darkened for a moment, then returned to normal. After a long time, he slowly said, "Okay, I'll invite the Yun family brothers to come and eat."
"Ziyan..." Shuangxi glanced at Shen Ziyan cautiously, for fear of making Shen Ziyan unhappy. This man was very important in Shuangxi's heart, and Shuangxi didn't want to make him unhappy at all.
Shen Ziyan smiled warmly, reached out and touched Shuangxi's hair, which was a little rough due to the wind all day, and said: "Xi'er, don't think too much, Quanzi is a good person, and I will not break the jealousy indiscriminately.
