Chapter 96 Uninvited Guests
I stewed a large iron pot of miscellaneous fish, and one third of the half bucket of fish was directly eaten. Lin Shu fried some dried mushrooms and green vegetables and asked them to set out the dishes and get ready to eat.
After the remaining fish is fried, it is placed in a drying feast made of wire mesh and slowly dried using the embers from the fresh cooking.
Tang Jianjun shouted: "Sister-in-law, come over and eat quickly. The remaining fish will be done later after dinner."
Gu Jiu arranged for several brothers to come in and look at her While busying with the last pot, he advised with distress: "You have been running in the mountains all day today. Are you not tired? Go out and eat first. I will do all this after dinner."
"Okay, finish it now." Lin Shu shoveled out the last pot of fish and put it on the sun feast, and then asked Gu Jiu to put the sun feast on the stove to dry slowly.
"The temperature is still so high now. If these fish are not cooked properly, they will be spoiled by tomorrow. You said it would be great if we had a refrigerator. Just put the meat and fish in the refrigerator to save money. How nice it is to save time and worry.”
“The refrigerator is here. It’s not easy to buy in China, and the price is not cheap. Next time, I’ll ask my friends in Guangdong Province to see if they can get one.”
Gu Jiu poured water into the basin and asked Lin Shu to wash his hands. , when the two of them washed their hands and went out, they found that everyone was waiting for them.
"Why are you just sitting here? Move your chopsticks quickly. I said I would come out after finishing some things in front of the stove. Why are you waiting for me? You are welcome to pour the wine."
< br>
"Sister-in-law, the wine is already full. I'm just waiting for you, the chef. How did you cook this fish? It's so fragrant. Just sitting here and smelling it makes my stomach growl. . ”
A large bowl of fish, all fried to a golden color on both sides, with slices of ginger, perilla and some green and red peppers. Even if you don’t smell the fragrance, you will be appetizing just by looking at it.
The couple sat down, and everyone was no longer polite. Each person took one and put it into the bowl. Lin Shu also took one and took a bite. The fish tasted fresh and spicy, but also had a little sweetness. , the taste is indeed different from artificially raised fish.
Artificially farmed fish, especially fish raised artificially in later generations, require a lot of seasoning when cooking, so that the strong taste overpowers the fishy smell.
This kind of fish raised in mountain spring water can be delicious with just a little ginger and chili. The taste is really memorable.
It’s no wonder that in later generations, many middle-aged and elderly people miss the fish and meat they ate when they were children. They always like to emphasize that fish and meat never taste the same as when they were children.
Maybe some people think that it’s because they didn’t have much to eat when they were young that people miss eating some meat and fish. In fact, this is not the case. The fact is that the fish and meat at this time are not polluted, are truly natural, and are really delicious.
After finishing a piece of fish, scoop out some stewed milky white fish soup. The slightly spicy milky white fish soup is also very fresh, with a slight sweetness in the freshness, and it should be nutritious.
Tang Jianjun: "Sister-in-law, why didn't I find that miscellaneous fish is so delicious before?"
Lin Shuxiao asked: "What kind of fish do you usually eat at home?"
“Sometimes it’s rare to eat fish at home, so my mother buys all big fish, such as grass carp, silver carp, and carp, and rarely buys trash fish that weighs a few pounds.”
“The trash fish tastes good too. "Some people think that fish with many small spines is not the best, but some fish have very few bones." Lin Shu smiled.
Tang Jianjun nodded: "Next time I see trash fish being sold in the countryside, I will buy some and let my mother make it, and I will send some to you then."
Gu Jiu glanced at him One glance said, "Don't brag about Haikou, buy the fish first."
"There is a river at the Xihe Brigade. How about we go to the Xihe Brigade to catch fish together this weekend?"
Speaking of eating fish, Xu Ming thought of a small river near the county seat.
You should be able to catch some fish and shrimp in the river. Even if you can't, they can trade some fish with the villagers to eat.
"Okay, I have nothing to do on the weekend." Li Yuanchao responded.
Tang Jianjun raised his hand in agreement, "I have nothing to do."
The three of them looked at Gu Jiu.
"It depends on the situation. I've been busy recently." Gu Jiu glanced at Lin Shu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He has been busy lately, busy making money.
Tang Jianjun put down his wine glass: "Brother Ninth, don't talk about those baseless reasons. When the time comes, you have to make time if you don't have time. Brothers can't do without you when we act together."< br>
Lin Shu found it funny, "Don't look at me. You can go if you want. I didn't tie your feet to prevent you from leaving."
Gu Jiu touched her nose. Tang Jianjun said happily after hearing this: "Yes, sister-in-law is the most sensible. Ninth brother has agreed that we will call you when the time comes. Don't act like a henpecker after you get married and let the brothers look down on you."
Gu Jiu's face instantly darkened and he kicked him from under the table, "What are you doing, kid? When did I become henpecked? How did you see that I was henpecked? This is called respect. Husband and wife are considerate of each other. Do you understand? I don't understand. Just shut up!”
“ "Eh!" Tang Jianjun was kicked in the calf, and he quickly retracted his foot in fear, "Brother Ninth, don't do anything when you disagree. Brother, I was wrong. You are not henpecked, but respectful."
After saying that, he quickly bent over and rubbed his legs.
Everyone saw him grimacing in pain and laughed out loud.
Lin Shu lightly patted Gu Jiu and scolded: "Don't move your hands or feet when eating. If you kick him, what if Tang Jianjun gets stuck in his throat while eating fish?"
< br>
After Lin Shu said this, Gu Jiu fell asleep and everyone resumed laughing and joking.
“Bang bang bang!”
“Brother Ninth, brother, open the door!”
“You don’t even call me to eat. You hide here and eat alone and think I’m looking for you. Isn’t it here?”
No one here expected that Xu Ting would come to the door. Her sudden arrival shocked everyone.
"Ahem!"
Tang Jianjun happened to take a bite of fish, but was frightened by this and got his throat stuck.
Gu Jiu found that he quickly got up and patted his back hard a few times. Fortunately, the stuck was not deep, and he spit it out after a few pats.
Lin Shu stood up and said to Gu Jiu: "I'll open the door, and you can pour him a glass of water to drink Shun Shunqi."
As soon as the door opened.
Xu Ting frowned when she saw Lin Shu inside the door: "Why are you still staying at Ninth Brother's house?"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes, "Oh, you can't come in, or I'll do it if you don't." It's closed."
Xu Ting choked, glanced at her, and walked in with her neck raised.
Xu Ming looked at Xu Ting, who was raising her neck like a victorious cock, and asked helplessly: "Why did you come here?"
"You didn't even bark at the dinner party. Me!" Xu Ting immediately felt aggrieved.
Lin Shu closed the door and came in, just in time to hear these words, "Brother Xu, go to the cupboard and get her a pair of dishes and chopsticks. If she wants to drink, just get a wine glass."
Xu Mingzhi Putting aside his worries, he turned around and took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Stop standing there and come over to eat."
The look of being bullied made his eyes hurt.
Tang Jianjun, who was originally sitting with Xu Ming, quickly moved to the other side to sit with Li Yuanchao.
Xu Ming helped her pick up a fish, "Eat it, this is mountain spring water fish, it tastes good."
"Where did it come from?"
"Gu Jiu went up the mountain to catch it. Don't ask questions, just eat your food quickly."
Xu Ming felt tired, and the younger sister's eyes frequently fell on Gu Jiu. , Gu Jiu frowned without looking.
Tang Jianjun seemed to have remembered something and said, "Last time I met Uncle Chen on the street. I heard from him that Chen Cheng will be returning to the city in a few days."
