Because there were at least thirty catties of fish in the iron bucket, the two of them couldn't wring a distance to take a break, and they walked for five minutes to get home, and they were so busy that they were sweating profusely.

But I was very happy, so many fish were enough to eat for a long time.

Zhao Xia poured the fish in the iron bucket into the wooden basin, picked out two relatively large fish from them, and said to Wang Yi: "Xiaoyi, you can give these two fish to grandma and uncle's family respectively." ”

"I'll send them the fish. Wang Yi put the two fish into the iron bucket, took the iron bucket and walked out.

At this time, in the countryside, everything she has likes to share with her relatives, so after screwing the fish back, Zhao Xia first thought of her grandmother and uncle.

"Grandma, grandma!" Before he could enter the door, Wang Yi shouted loudly.

Grandma Sun Chunmei walked out of the house and asked, "Xiaoyi, what are you looking for grandma?"

"Grandma, my mother and I caught some fish today, and I'll give you one. So saying, he took the fish out of the iron bucket and asked, "Grandma, where do you put this fish?"

"Ah, this fish weighs at least three pounds. Seeing the big fish in Wang Yi's hand, Sun Chunmei exclaimed, and then said: "Xiaoyi, you better take it back, burn it and eat it yourself, you are the time to grow your body, eat more, just have this heart grandma knows." ”

Now my grandmother lives alone, Wang Yi's grandfather died not long after he was born, and the family originally lived together.

But because my uncle was going to get married two years ago, he split up the family, otherwise the other party would not want to marry, which is also human nature.

In order to build a house, Sun Chunmei took out all her savings, and now her life is very sad, but she knows that her eldest son is having a worse time, and she also shared part of the money when she helped her younger brother build a house, and the little girl who was born not long ago was sick and went to the hospital, which made it even worse.

Even if she has the heart to help, she can't do it, and she is a woman who has no ability to work now, the only thing is not to cause chaos at home.

In his memory, Sun Chunmei didn't give him anything to eat, Wang Yi said with a smile: "Grandma, you can take it, my mother and I caught a lot of fish today, but now it's summer, and I can't let it go at all." ”

As he spoke, he tilted the iron bucket and said, "Look, this is for my uncle, and there are still some at home, so don't worry." ”

Sun Chunmei saw that there was indeed a fish about the same size as the one given to her in the iron bucket, and she also knew that she would definitely catch some this time, so she said, "Then I'll stay." ”

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Stay, just kill it tonight, you can eat braised fish." ”

After putting the fish in a wooden barrel, Wang Yi said goodbye and walked to his uncle's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my aunt holding my little cousin, and immediately shouted: "Auntie, my mother and I caught some fish today, and I just happened to send you one too." ”

When the little aunt Hong Xiaoyun saw Wang Yi, she immediately stood up with her little cousin in her arms and said, "It's Xiaoyi, see you're sweating profusely, come in and rest for a while." ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "No, auntie, I still have to kill the fish when I go back, where is this fish?"

Seeing the fish weighing at least three catties in the iron bucket, he also said happily: "Just put it in the basin over there." ”

"Okay. Wang Yi poured the fish into the basin, because the fish was still alive, and it was still bouncing in it a few times before it stopped making noise.

After a few words of greeting with my aunt, I went home, and when I saw Zhao Xia walking out with a basin and a knife, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Mom, are you going to kill the fish?"

"Well, go to the well and prepare to kill these fish, and use the salt to coax them smoothly, so that they can be stored for a longer time. Because she caught so many fish, Zhao Xia kept a smile on her face, and then asked, "All the fish have been sent?"

"It's all gone. Wang Yi hurriedly said: "Mom, you don't have to kill all these fish, keep a few alive, and it's no problem to raise them for a few days, so that you can kill one every day and eat them, fresh is better than too salt." ”

"It's still Xiaoyi's flexible mind. Zhao Xia smiled and touched Wang Yi's head with her hand, and said: "Since catching so many fish, my mother only thinks that they can be saved by killing them all with salt codes, but she forgets that it is okay to raise them for a few days." ”

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "Then leave three big ones and three small ones, one a day is about six days, if it is longer, I am afraid I will not be able to support it." ”

Zhao Xia didn't have the slightest objection, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, if you listen to you, you will leave six fish, and kill all the rest." ”

"Hmm" Wang Yi replied, picked out six fish from the basin that looked more energetic, then put them into an iron bucket and poured water, took them to the kitchen and put them on a stool, and by the way, they were half-covered with wooden boards.

At this time, there are a lot of cats, and those gluttonous cats often like to steal something, and if they don't put away their meals at night, the next day they won't be gone. That's why a wooden lid is added to it to prevent cats from coming and eating the fish.

After doing all this, Wang Yi came to the well and started killing fish with Zhao Xia.

In fact, killing a fish is quite simple, first knock the head of the fish with something, knock it to death, and then get the fish scales, and then come from the stomach with a knife, take out the contents of the contents, wash it, and then drag the gills out with your hands, and basically kill it.

Because he hadn't killed a fish for a long time, Wang Yi's techniques were obviously a lot rusty, but after a few familiarities, he also became proficient.

Soon, the dozen or so fish were all killed, and the two of them rinsed the well water and returned home.

Looking at the fish in the basin, Wang Yi's appetite immediately increased and asked, "Mom, which fish will you eat tonight?"

Zhao Xia looked at Wang Yi like a little gluttonous cat, and said with a smile: "I won't eat any of them today, and I will eat fish heads tonight." ”

"The fish head is good!" Wang Yi's eyes showed a hint of essence, this fish head is a good thing, whether it is braised or soup, it is extremely delicious. And it can make people eat with relish, although there is not much meat in it, but many people like to eat fish heads, and some people go to buy fish heads to come back to eat, and the price is more expensive than fish.

Wang Yi hurriedly asked, "Mom, how to cook it, braised or boiled soup?"

These fish heads must all be burned tonight, otherwise they will definitely be spoiled tomorrow, and now there is no refrigerator, and the ingredients cannot be preserved, which is why the fish that have been killed should be salted, just to preserve it for a longer period of time.

Seeing Wang Yi's expectant eyes, Zhao Xia said, "Eat how you want, do it tonight." ”

Wang Yi suggested there: "It's better to braise half of the fish and cook the rest in soup, so that there are two ways to eat the fish head." ”

"Okay, that's all. Zhao Xia agreed, "When I chop up these fish heads, you can help me boil the pot." ”

"Eun, I know. Wang Yi agreed, and he couldn't wait to start setting up firewood.

When the fish was cooked, it was originally chef Zhao Xia, but it soon changed to Wang Yilai as the chef. Later generations have made a leap in economic strength, and naturally they will enjoy life, and they are very particular about eating. How can Zhao Xia's relatively simple cooking method meet the demand, but unfortunately the seasoning is not complete enough, otherwise it can be made better.

Wang Yi burped, looked at the fish bones on the table, and smiled, eating too much.

After that, I filled a bowl of milky white fish head soup, and drank it all in one gulp, and the delicious taste kept echoing in the mouth, which was desirable.

Wang Yi saw that Zhao Xia didn't eat a few fish heads, and immediately said: "Mom, you eat it too, there are so many fish heads, if you don't eat it, you will be spoiled tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xia smiled and said lightly: "It's better for you to eat, now you're growing taller, eat a little more to be able to grow taller." ”

Wang Yi knew that his mother was reluctant to eat, so he deliberately wanted to leave it to him, patted his bulging belly, and could only say: "I can't eat it, you can solve the rest, otherwise you will wait for it to spoil." ”

"Xiaoyi, you eat another fish head, can you give me the rest. Zhao Xia said to Wang Yi half-coaxing and half-deceptively, and at the same time used chopsticks to clip a very large fish head and put it into Wang Yi's bowl.

Wang Yi couldn't cry or laugh a little, he was not a child, did he need to coax him like this, and he really couldn't eat it, and said: "Mom, I really can't eat it, let's eat it." As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to his stomach, "If you eat again, your stomach will really burst." ”

Zhao Xia said reluctantly: "The last one, be obedient." ”

Seeing that the resistance was ineffective, Wang Yi compromised and said: "Okay, the last one, I'll go to the bath and sleep after eating this." ”

I ate this fish head hard, and no matter how much I persuaded me to eat it later, I wouldn't eat it. I didn't expect that it would be a painful thing to eat so many fish heads all of a sudden, and I don't know if it would leave a shadow and lead to fear of fish heads.
