Obviously, they are all things that have been eaten in the past, but when they come out of Chen Xin's hands, the taste is very different.

The peasant family is not as particular as the people in the city, and they are humble or something, except for the old man and the child to sandwich some soft and tender meat, the others are robbed according to their ability.

The second sister had one in her belly, although she usually didn't have much reaction, but this time after all, she had walked so long and had no appetite, and she sat down with a bowl in order to set up a field for Chen Xin.

As a result, she didn't think that the other dishes were too much, and when she ate the rake loach, the sour and spicy taste suddenly opened her appetite, and she directly dried two bowls of dry rice with sauerkraut and loach meat.

The loach doesn't look good, but it is very nutritious, especially it can effectively prevent high blood pressure during pregnancy, and the loach itself has the effect of tonifying and benefiting qi, removing dampness, reducing swelling and protecting the liver, so it is beneficial for pregnant women to eat stewed loach properly.

Knowing that the second sister was pregnant, everyone also ate with her, but seeing that she ate so deliciously, occasionally someone fished one out of the basin and sipped.

The loach is very fat, and the meat is tender, after the stew is flavored, just a light sip to separate the flesh and bones, and slowly pull the loach's head out, and a whole thorn will come out. And compared with other meats, loaches and fish are not so greasy, plus the sauerkraut in the old jar is neutralized, and only the fragrant glutinous mouth is left.

The loach was given to the second sister to eat, and the others attacked the double pepper fish head and storm fish fillet. As for the white-cut chicken, although the taste is also very good, they can also make the cold chicken, but the taste is not as good as Chen Xin's preparation.

But the double pepper fish head and storm fish fillet they have eaten for the first time, and they have eaten fish before, except for the sauerkraut stew, which is fried and then burned, and no one has really eaten it like this. The first time I ate such a food eaten by people in the city, everyone hated to have two stomachs and two stomachs.

"Aunt Chen, I'll go with my brother to catch fish in the afternoon, can I still eat it at night?"

The little four next door bit his chopsticks and looked at the fish basin with only a pot of red soup left, and his tears were about to come out, he was too young to rob the adults and his brothers and sisters, and he felt that he had not eaten two bites and was gone, especially aggrieved.

"Okay, you go to catch fish in the afternoon, catch more grass carp and come back, I'll get you sauerkraut fish, and other carp will also work, but carp is not good at making soup, so it's more appropriate to burn and eat." ”

There are fish in the ditch, and there are many of them, but the people in the mountains don't like to eat fish very much, and they always roast fish in bean paste, and they are tired of eating it for so many years.

I heard that Aunt Chen was still cooking fish at night, or what kind of pickled cabbage fish, although I felt that it might not be as delicious as storm fish fillets, but it was much better than sauce-roasted fish, so a few half-sized children looked at each other, put down the bowl and went to the back of the house to find tools to go fishing.

When I was cooking, I looked at the vegetables stored at home, and there were basically no other vegetables except cabbage and radish. She asked, tomorrow is the time for the town under the mountain to catch up, so she told the second sister that she planned to get up early and go to the mountain to buy some ingredients and come back.

"What kind of food do you want for my eldest brother to buy, you haven't walked the mountain road, I'm afraid you won't be able to go that far. ”

It's not that Second Sister Zhang looks down on Chen Xin, just Chen Xin's small body, it is estimated that walking back and forth empty-handed can make her fall, let alone carrying vegetables back. Although her brother has inconvenient legs and feet, he still has no problem walking, and he is used to doing work, so just buying vegetables will not make it difficult for him. It's really not good to let her go as a man, she must be stronger than Chen Xin.

"I have to go and see what kind of dishes there are, I haven't been to the market, and I don't know what is in the market, how can I tell my eldest brother what to buy?"

In the end, it was the aunt next door who made a decision, saying that she would let Chen Xin go with her, and let Boss Zhang follow with her, and just help carry something.

The second sister thought about it, her current body is not very good, and she has insufficient energy to spare, so she can only do this.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the three boys next door came back with two buckets, which contained five or six grass carp, the largest one was estimated to weigh two catties, and the others were about one catty. In addition, he also brought back a turtle, tied with a straw rope, the size of a rice bowl, it looks like it is still an old turtle.

"It's a good thing, it's wild. Chen Xin took a look and didn't say that she wanted to eat, and the three boys were a little disappointed.

"What do you think, such a good turtle, you can buy three or four big roosters with the money you sell it. Chen Xin smiled and patted Si'er's head, "It's going to be the New Year, and the people in the town are going to go to relatives to give gifts or something, take them back to your father, and see how he arranges them." ”

They got it, and it sold for hundreds. Chen Xin didn't mean that she couldn't afford to give this money, but she really wanted to open her mouth, whether the aunt next door would accept it or not? It was better to find it out directly, and let them sell it in the town for money, which would cover their usual income for several months.

"Aunt Chen, my old man said that this turtle can't be sold for a few hundred, or we should eat it. ”

Chen Xin frowned, impossible! This old turtle knows that it is pure wild when he looks at the color of his carapace, if it is in the provincial capital, seven or eight hundred is definitely no problem, even if it is in the town, it will not be a problem to sell it for four or five hundred. A big rooster weighs only five or six yuan a catty, and ten catties weigh less than 100 yuan. That's why she suggested selling it, why did the uncle next door say that she couldn't afford it?

Next to her, Second Sister Zhang saw Chen Xin's expression and laughed.

"Don't be surprised, the consumption level in our town is not good, it will cost one or two hundred, if you spend four or five hundred to eat an old turtle, you will definitely be scolded by the old man. ”

But Chen Xin thinks it may be that they haven't found a good way. Naturally, this thing can't be sold on the side of the street, and it is best to find a direct bid if there is a demand. She thought about it, went back to the house and rummaged around, and called Raybon.

"Brother Lei, I want to trouble you with something, is there anyone around you who likes to eat game and mountain goods or something? I got an old turtle here, and some preserved chicken and fish, and I want to exchange some money. ”

didn't tell Lei Bang, Lei Bang also knew what the situation of the Zhang family was, Chen Xin called him in front of Second Sister Zhang like this, and he also wanted the second sister to know that leaving this mountain pimple, there are actually opportunities everywhere outside.

Lei Bang really needs these things that Chen Xin said. He has been looking for a long time, and some relatively rare mountain goods have also been obtained, but the pure natural ones have to be bought in the countryside, and he originally planned to ask Chen Xin about it, but he was afraid that Chen Xin would think that he wanted to take it for nothing, so it was not easy to open this mouth. Now people took the initiative to find him, and they hit it off.

Chen Xin dragged her second sister to stir around at home for a while, muttered a few words to the aunt next door, and found some good-looking wild game that is rarely seen in ordinary times. In addition, he asked Xiao Si'er and a few of them to find some friends and continue to go to the mountains and rivers to fish. The fish can't be killed directly when they come back, they are kept in an abandoned water tank, and they will be driven by Lei Bang tomorrow to get them.

Seeing Chen Xin and her second daughter working together, the sophomore and son-in-law helping to do some chores inside and outside the house, the old couple sat in the yard, hugging the little fat man Zhang Zhang, and the corners of his eyes were shining.

This family has been dead and silent since the third child left, but I didn't expect to have a noisy day, looking at the smiling faces of the children, looking at the baby grandson, the old couple felt that the days had hope.
