Chapter 245: Pick it off for me (Fourth update)
“For a gentleman to go far away from the kitchen and slaughter fish is against the principles of us scholars.”
Mu Zichuan said seriously.
“Furthermore, in our Changping Village, apart from the hard work of killing pigs and cows and carrying water, aren’t other things in the kitchen the responsibility of women?”
< br>“Even if I go to slaughter fish and someone sees me, they will definitely laugh at you and me for violating the rules!”
He persuaded Yang Ruoqing with earnest words.
Finally, he patiently coaxed her: "Qing'er, why don't you do something else, I promise to help you do it!"
"Okay, then I want to go to heaven "Moon, can you pick it off for me?"
Mu Zichuan: "..."
"Qing'er, aren't you trying to embarrass me? I apologize to you so sincerely..." …”
Mu Zichuan's tone showed hurt and aggrievedness.
"Enough, enough!"
Yang Ruoqing waved her hand impatiently: "I can't stand you scholars, sour and pedantic."
"In my mouth It's all talk, but it's true If you don’t do it now, it won’t work this way or that way!”
“What happened that day has changed. Don’t mention it to anyone in the future. You can go home with water quickly. I have to wash the vegetables too, so don’t. We’re wasting each other’s time!”
After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing walked away.
"Qing'er..."
No matter how he shouted from behind, she never looked back.
Mu Zichuan stood under the tree and sighed, shook his head, picked up the water and walked towards the village with a sad look on his face.
When Yang Ruoqing arrived, there were several women washing themselves by the pond.
"Qing'er, are you here to wash the vegetables?"
A woman suddenly greeted her.
Yang Ruoqing turned around and saw that it was Aunt Changgeng's Osmanthus fragrans.
"Yes, I have guests for dinner at noon. My mother is busy at home, so she sent me to wash the vegetables." Yang Ruoqing greeted Osmanthus obediently.
Osmanthus smiled and said: "I know, your family has bought a field now."
"Your mother sent Da'an to my house this morning to tell her that your Uncle Chang Geng went to the neighboring village this morning and couldn't come back at noon," Guihua said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Let Uncle Chang Geng be busy first. It's the same as going to my house for dinner at night!"
"Okay, I'll talk to your Uncle Chang Geng later!"
“Yeah!”
Yang Ruoqing glanced around, found an open space and squatted down to start washing vegetables.
There was a big table full at noon, so naturally there was a lot of vegetables.
After washing the cabbage and washing the leeks, washing the lettuce and washing the potatoes...
We will prepare the fat-headed fish later.
Yang Ruoqing squatted there and concentrated on washing vegetables, occasionally saying a few words to Aunt Guihua over there.
The family still owes some money for catching the three piglets.
It was Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua who made the guarantee. At that time, they promised to send the first big pig to the pig mother's family over there.
Now, the family has enough money.
Yang Ruoqing was thinking about the money she owed Piggy. Uncle Chang Geng came over for dinner at night.
It must be handed over to Uncle Chang Geng so that he can accompany Aunt Guihua back to her parents' home and then hand it over to the creditor there.
When only half of the vegetables were washed, strong footsteps came from behind.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly thought of Luo Fengtang.
When I turned around, I saw him walking towards this direction with long strides.
"Tangyazi, why are you here?"
She turned around and asked him.
Luo Fengtang grinned: "Third Aunt asked me to come over and see if your dishes have been washed!"
After saying that, he looked towards the vegetable basket at her feet...
"Come on, peel off the last two potatoes and kill the fish!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"Well, you go ahead and grind the potatoes, and I'll get the fish!"
Luo Fengtang said, already rolling up his sleeves.
Strong and powerful arms, wheat-colored skin, glowing with a healthy and wild color.
Before Yang Ruoqing could react, he had already leaned over and picked up the fat-headed fish with his eyes rolled. She picked up a kitchen knife next to her, squatted on a rock next to her, and started butchering...
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, squatting down as well, peeling the potatoes. Watch him kill fish.
Scraping scales, removing gills, chopping wings and tail...
He did it neatly.
When the fish belly was cut open from the side, as soon as the knife edge penetrated, thick red fish blood poured out.
His hands were immediately stained.
He didn't even blink, and he pulled hard.
After a subtle cracking sound, a beautiful arc was cut into the fish's belly.
Then, he cleverly turned the wrist holding the kitchen knife, and the blade penetrated into the belly of the fish.
Fish intestines, swim bladder, fish gall, etc. were all scraped out of the body.
The fish gall was intact under such a sharp knife edge!
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tangyazi, you are really good!"
Luo Fengtang smiled nonchalantly, "They are more literate than your uncle and cousin. I can break words and draw up contracts, but my killing of fish is nothing!"
Yang Ruoqing knew that the contract to buy the land for this family was drawn up by her uncle.
It was Yang Huazhong who suggested it, but it was Lao Yangtou's idea to let the uncle draft it.
Yang Ruoqing knows that Lao Yangtou protects the face of his eldest son Yang Huaan most, and will actively fight for his eldest son whenever there is an opportunity to show off.
It’s just a pity that the uncle is a boy who has been around for thousands of years, hey!
Putting aside those miscellaneous things, Yang Ruoqing returned her attention to Luo Fengtang.
“Three hundred and sixty lines, every line will lead to the number one scholar.”
She said: "Being able to write is a skill, but being able to hunt and kill fish is also a skill!"
Luo Fengtang listened to her with a smile while washing the fish.
“Tangyazi, think about it, after all, we live in this world, aren’t we all living for the two and a half inches under our noses?”
“Food is the most important thing for the people. This is the most important thing.”
“It’s like some people, even if they have a lot of ink, their articles will be colorful.”
"But let him kill a fish, and he can't even cook a pot of rice! If there is no one to take care of him, he will starve to death!"
Yang Ruoqing said it enthusiastically, and even used Mu Zichuan as a negative example.
Luo Fengtang listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
On the other side of the pond, the women who were bathing were craning their necks and looking this way.
Separated some distance away, they couldn't quite hear what Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were talking about.
However, as soon as Luo Fengtang came over, they set their sights on him.
Seeing him helping Yang Ruoqing kill and wash fish, the women were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
This way.
After grinding the potatoes and washing the fish, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang stood up and prepared to go back.
Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang: "I'll go over and tell Aunt Guihua."
"Okay!"
He stood not far away waiting for her with the fish in his hand.
Yang Ruoqing said hello to Gui Huana, turned around and walked quickly towards him.
He took the bamboo basket from her hand and carried it, and the two of them returned to the village side by side.
Over the pond, those women blew up their nests.
"Oh my god, am I not dreaming? Tang Yazi actually helped Fat Ya kill and wash the fish?"
"I'm afraid he just came to pick up Fat Ya!"
"Oh my God Well, this Tangyazi usually looks at a deserted person, How do you know how to care about others?”
“That’s right, I’m afraid we can’t find another man in Changping Village who is so caring!”
“Old Yang’s family! This fat girl is really lucky!”
"..."
Osmanthus did not answer this time, she also listened with a smile.
Originally, I liked Fat Ya and wanted to bring Fat Ya and my son together.
But compared with Tang Yazi, my son’s laziness, hey!
It’s better not to bother with that!
