Chapter 25: Blessings and Blessings
"Oh, fishing, the fish is not small, or else, I'll help you pull it up, and I'll apologize to you, how about it?" The soldier obviously felt that he should apologize, but he didn't want to apologize to a child, so he came up with such a compromise.
"Cheng, this is very good, here you go, come on, be careful, I will go into your barracks and cry when the fish runs away, saying that you beat me!" Hong Tao's arms were almost tired, and when he heard the words of this soldier, he immediately stuffed the bamboo pole into his hand, and he couldn't take it if he didn't want to.
"Hey, you kid, you're still unreasonable, I'm kind enough to help you, and you dare to threaten me. The soldier held a fishing rod and dragged the fish up in the water, the fish was not big, only 2 feet long, 3 or 4 catties, but it made Hong Tao tired enough.
"Do you think I'm reasonable at my age? I burst into tears, wow wow crying, it's the truth, don't you believe you try?" Hong Tao looked at the fish that was still writhing on the muddy ground, and suddenly felt that he had neglected a problem again, but when he saw this soldier, his eyes rolled and he had another idea.
"Whose children are this, how are they educated, their hearts and eyes are crooked!, I'm leaving." The soldier let Hong Tao say nothing, but he didn't dare to teach Hong Tao a lesson, because what Hong Tao said was completely right, as long as this kid cried and made trouble, and then said that he beat him, then he didn't want to make it clear.
"You can't go, let's make a deal, you carry this fish and send me to the bus station No. 44 opposite, I won't cry or make trouble, or I'll go in and find your leaders now!" Hong Tao pointed to the gate dozens of meters away, and blatantly began to coerce the People's Liberation Army.
"It's against you, why don't you go and I'll take a look?" the soldier bared his teeth and glared, making a very vicious look.
"Cheng, you don't cherish the opportunity to give you, then don't blame me for being ruthless, you wait, I'll get some mud on my clothes first, you see if I dare to go in, who doesn't dare is the grandson!" Hong Tao directly threw the bamboo pole to the ground, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, intending to wipe it on himself.
"Hey...... Ay...... Done, I'll send you! I'll send you! It's done...... Uncle was kidding you just now. When the soldier saw that Hong Tao really wanted to come with him, and was about to arrange the crime scene, he knew that this child was not talking about playing, so he quickly changed his smiling face and reached out to hug Hong Tao.
"Stop...... Don't touch me! Your task is to carry that fish, I can walk by myself, you can also help me hold this fishing rod, don't break it, I'll go first, you hurry up, I'll tell you, there is a barracks gate in front, if you dare to run, I will immediately go in and cry. Hong Tao took a few steps back, dodged the hands of the soldiers, then threw the bamboo pole to the ground, walked up the river bank with his hands behind his back, and walked in the direction of the bridge.
"Little rabbit cub!" the soldier looked at Hong Tao's virtue, and really wanted to go over and kick him in the buttocks, but he could only think about it, and then he had to take the bamboo pole and pick up the catfish that was not yet dead to chase the child.
With a free labor, Hong Tao quickly returned to the mouth of the alley on the south side of the Second Ring Road, and then took the fish and the bamboo pole from the ugly-looking soldier, said thank you, put the fish mouth on the bamboo pole, and then resisted on his shoulder, and walked towards the alley slowly.
Hong Tao took the fish home directly, put the fish in the basin, put water and put some salt, and soak it first, so as to remove the mucus on the catfish, so as not to be slippery and difficult to start. As a fishing fan in later generations, Hong Tao's ability to cook fish is still good, and he is very good at frying, stir-frying, frying, and shabu-shabu, but he can't use these means now, people are small and weak, neither can they play the iron pot, nor can they play the big fish, and now there are not so many ingredients available, in addition to green onions, garlic, chili, pepper, ginger, there is only soy sauce, vinegar and salt, and even vegetable oil can not be used openly.
First scrape off the fish skin with scissors, and then use a fruit knife to cut off the whole fish head and throw it away, Hong Tao does not have the ability and kung fu to dig out the gills of the fish, just cutting the spine of the fish took a long time, because he couldn't open the big kitchen knife, Hong Tao had to use the fruit knife made by his father, fortunately, the fruit knife was sharpened with a sharp hacksaw blade, and the steel mouth was excellent, otherwise Hong Tao might have to find someone to help clean up the fish.
Forget it, the vegetable oil at home is quantitative, don't waste it if you can, this season's fish are fat, just stew it. Put all the ingredients that can be used into the pot and fry it, even the cooking wine is not put, not put, is not, directly put the fish into the pot, after a while, the house smells a strong fishy fragrance, and then slowly diffuses to the entire corridor...... The whole building.
1 hour later, Hong Tao burped and looked at the more than half of the fish in the enamel basin stunned, he had already thrown off his cheeks and ate it with all his might, but he only ate one-third of the fish, and he couldn't eat it anymore, the standard eyes were big and the belly was small.
What should I do with the rest of the fish? It is definitely not possible to bring it to grandma's house, grandma and grandpa are very taboo about this kind of fish, and they will not eat it if they are killed, in fact, when the people of the whole country are not full of hunger in 6o years, few people will go to catch these catfish in the moat to eat, not because they don't want to, but because they can't afford to lose this person. It is estimated that it is enough to choke on the parents, and the parents are not expected to be any better, although they are two generations, but the thinking is not much different.
"Little uncle, just burn high incense! When you meet a nephew like me, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and you will have a lot of money and wealth in the future, don't keep worrying about the pennies in your nephew's pocket, and take a long-term view!" After thinking for a long time, Hong Tao decided to send the remaining half of the fish to the school to be eliminated by the little uncle, which can not only achieve the purpose of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, but also that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the little uncle is also the time to grow his body, let him be stronger, and he should be safer in the next few years.
Hong Tao now doesn't have to sneak and dodge when he goes to school, with the care of Director Bai of the Teaching Office, he can enter and leave the school gate at will from 6 o'clock in the morning to 5:30 in the evening, and the old man who guards the door will not care about him.
"Uncle, uncle!" Carrying a cloth bag containing a large lunch box of fish and meat, Hong Tao climbed up to the third floor of the school, found the classroom where the little uncle was, lay on the edge of the back door, and took advantage of the teacher's efforts to turn around and write on the blackboard, probe in and throw a small pebble at the uncle sitting in the back row.
"Teacher, I want to go to the toilet!" The uncle turned around and saw the little nephew who was waving at him outside the back door, it was not unusual at all, every time Hong Tao was bullied, he would immediately run to him for help, and he would also look at the little nephew's pocket for the sake of steel, and immediately lend a hand, as for the class or something, it was not a matter at all, and the teacher at this time couldn't control these big children, they could sit there with face and not make trouble, and the teacher was already very happy.
"Teacher, I'll go to the toilet too!" Seeing the little uncle get up and walk out, one of the uncle's dead friends also stood up, without waiting for the teacher to agree or disagree, he went out the back door directly, this dead friend also lives in the alley of Hong Tao's grandmother's house, the nickname is Tiger Egg, and the big name is What Hong Tao didn't know until he was more than 4o years old.
"Who bullied you again?!" The little uncle and the tiger egg came out of the classroom and pulled Hong Tao to the corner of the stairs.
"No one bullied me, I'll bring you meat! Tiger egg, if you're lucky, you also have a share!" Hong Tao shook the cloth bag in his hand.
"Meat! What kind of meat! Your grandfather bought it for you, and my dad is back?" the uncle took the cloth belt and took out the lunch box from it.
"You don't care about the meat, eat it or not!" Hong Tao didn't have time to explain to him where the meat came from.
"I'm X! Fish!Where did you get it?...... Let's go, let's go to the toilet!" Uncle opened the lunch box, didn't have to get close to smell it, a fishy smell wafted out, Uncle asked Hong Tao in surprise, seeing that he didn't mean to answer, he directly pulled Hong Tao and Tiger Egg to the toilet.
"Xiao Taozi, where did you get the fish! It's so fragrant, it can't be stolen, right?" The uncle and the tiger egg hid in the toilet, and it didn't take 3 minutes to eat up all the fish in a lunch box, and the fish bones were licked so clean, just like handicrafts. Tiger Egg licked his fingers, savoring the fragrance of the fish, and suddenly remembered the origin of the fish.
"Hey, you didn't even think to ask after you finished eating! Did Hong Tao of our family steal something? How do you speak!" Before Hong Tao could answer, the uncle was not happy at first, his personality was 100% following Hong Tao's grandfather, and he couldn't tolerate others saying that his family was not good at all.
"Hey, I'll just say casually, you just let me steal, I don't have a place to steal, there is no such thing in the cooperative, and there is no such thing in the restaurant in Beixinqiao!"
"Don't ask where you came from, I'm going home, and I'll bring you fish in two days, but you can't tell others, after you say that, the fish will be gone!" Hong Tao put the lunch box back into the cloth bag, opened the door of the toilet and left.
"Captain, how can this nephew of your family be the same as a little adult, not only can he give you money to spend, but also give you meat to eat, why don't I have such a nephew!" Tiger Dan said as he pulled out a fish bone from between his teeth, sipped it in his mouth, and then threw it into the pit.
"You didn't spend less money on the money I brought, you didn't eat less meat, you ate more than me, by the way, I ask you, why don't you spit out thorns when you eat fish!"
"What a thorn to spit out! I chewed all the small thorns, and I vomited the big thorns!" Tiger Egg pointed to a fish bone on the ground.
