45. Braised fish

CHAPTER XLV

When Orange saw Jiaojiao go to her house, she didn't say hello. Although there were no valuables in that room, it was also her private space.

Except for the people close to her, Chi Dazhu is not counted, he is a big man who rarely goes to his daughter's house, and she is reluctant to let anyone else in. Huzi and Yanzi don't count, they must have slept in her house all night the first day.

Jiaojiao went in and looked around, although there was no big decoration, but it was very comfortable to look at. The fire is prosperous, and the kang is also very hot. There is no one in the house, and it costs so much firewood, tsk, her house is full of people on the kang and it is cold, and no one goes to collect firewood!

The more she looked, the more determined she wanted to stay, her father and her brothers were unreliable, they only knew how to gamble all day long, and they were too lazy to die. Her mother's temper was so violent that even she had been beaten a lot.

Gently pick up the little doll on the bed, the tentacles are soft, and there is still the residual warmth on the kang. Oh, this thing is still stuffed with cotton, and she is still wearing her brother's leftover cotton clothes, which look new from the outside, but it is not warm at all.

Orange was not at ease and followed in. Seeing her holding the doll stunned, she didn't call her, although she felt pitiful and seemed to like the doll in her hand, she didn't think about giving it to her.

If in modern times, if a relative's child comes to their house to play, as long as she doesn't particularly like it, she will give it away with one eye and one eye, who let her stand up to such a relative.

But now it's different, she is reluctant to give it away, the doll was sewn out by her with a needle and a thread, and it was made before Songbai left, and she always felt that the meaning was different.

Jiaojiao came back to her senses, saw her enter the house, called "cousin", pointed to the doll and said, "Cousin's mind is really coincidental, I saw that there is another half-made one in the sewing basket, is it the same as this?" ”

It was made of oranges for pear blossoms, and Xiuxiu also said that she wanted one, but she never had time to make it. The sewn half was still made by her lighting at night, which was very eye-consuming.

was just pointed out by Jiaojiao, she was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "That's what I made to give away, I haven't had the time to do it, and I haven't done it yet." ”

Jiaojiao immediately got off the donkey down the slope and said: "I also help my mother do embroidery at home, if my cousin doesn't dislike it, I'll stay and help you do it." ”

Orange thought she wanted the doll, so she waited for her.

"My cousin has a heart, it's almost time for dinner, I still have to cook, can you go in and see if my aunt wants to eat?"

She's a little angry, why does she always feel a little calculated? Threw the curtain out, pulled the pear blossom and muttered to her.

Pear Blossom couldn't laugh after hearing this, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of her, this girl is not simple." People are here to help you, what can you say? ”

Orange was also panicked, but Jiaojiao still looked like nothing had happened, "Cousin, my mother said that she would be willing to eat whatever she did, but it would be better to have meat." ”

Jiaojiao's brother heard the movement and came out and said, "There must be meat to eat, I'm tired of eating cornmeal every day at my grandmother's house." ”

Orange thought that there were fish in the cellar, but she didn't want them to know that they had a cellar, so she thought about keeping it a secret when she first dug it. She didn't want to go to Xiuxiu's house to cut their meat, she was annoyed now.

"Pear blossom, let's borrow your two fish first, my fish are going to be made into fish sauce." Rika nodded, she knew that the fish of the Orange family were in the cellar, and there was only a bucket and a half of fish sent by Xiao Huang outside.

Jiaojiao wants to eat big fat meat, and she doesn't have any oil and water in her stomach, but when she thinks about it, fish is also good, it's better than tortilla pickles.

**

Aunt Chi, like Jiaojiao, took a good look in the main house and saw that there was no big furniture. The cabinet was still brought from the old courtyard, and one of the doors was broken. It's the quilt that makes her envious, and it must be comfortable to cover it on such a cold day.

Chi Dazhu didn't know what to say, originally this kind of thing of entertaining female guests should have been Chen's coming. Chen was not feeling well, and he was unwilling to let Chen come out and be wronged. I didn't have the ability before, but I suffered a lot of sins with him.

Aunt Chi's eyes flickered, remembering that the Yu family told her that Chi Dazhu's family had made a lot of money in business, and if their family did it, it would be the Chen family who would come to beg her!

Not to mention that she can eat meat every day, even her son can marry a daughter-in-law!

Rubbing his hands, he said to Chi Dazhu: "Second brother, I heard that you sell things on the dock, how much money can you earn every day?" ”

Chi Dazhu regretted it after giving the silver just now, how could he tell her about setting up a stall. Besides, this time it has always been the pine and the orange in charge, he only knows how much he earns, but he doesn't know the specifics.

waved his hand and said, "Eldest sister, don't talk to me, I don't know." You don't have this skill, I'll go to the yard and have a look, you can sit down. ”

Aunt Chi pursed her lips, her second brother still looked like she couldn't get on the stage, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be scared to death. If you don't say it, you won't say it, why do you say that she doesn't have this skill, they all say that her niece follows her aunt, and she can't say that the orange just follows her!

Chen and Huang talked for a long time, and when they saw Chi Dazhu coming out of the house, Huang tucked the quilt corner for Chen, and she should go to meet this aunt. Her girl has been married for so many years, but she has not suffered her loss.

***

Seeing that the loach was dry, Jiaojiao picked one up and put it in her mouth, squeaked and chewed it. How much oil has to be put in this, even the loach is so fragrant, fragrant and spicy, it feels better than meat.

Seeing that she had eaten a lot, Orange stopped: "Cousin, eat less, and eat later, otherwise you should make it." It's not that she is reluctant to give up that little loach, but she has the lesson of the hammer last time, the child has a bad spleen and stomach, and eats too much at once, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable.

Jiaojiao thought that she had eaten too much to make the oranges unhappy, so she hurriedly stopped, with a scared expression of doing something wrong. Orange sighed, she was most annoyed by this kind of aggrieved expression at every turn, and last time Xing'er almost vomited her disgustingly.

"Alas, you can eat if you want, I'm just afraid you'll eat too much." Orange explained, but Jiaojiao didn't eat a bite again, making Orange a little embarrassed, is she so scary?

**

When Aunt Chi saw the Huang family coming in, she didn't get up, and said, "Yo, my sister-in-law is here, sit down." "She still holds a grudge against the last time she was kicked out.

Huang sat on the kang with a butt, and saw that the pork jerky on the table was all over, and the only melon seeds were gone, and the melon seed skin was even more all over the ground, and the fire in his heart suddenly rose.

Even complained about Chi Dazhu, not to mention that this melon seed Chen stumbled when he was fine, and he also had a taste in his mouth. Let's just say that this pork jerky is made with a lot of effort from oranges, and it is so much that neither she nor the Chen family is reluctant to eat it, and it was eaten up by Aunt Chi and her two and a half old boys.

If this person were someone else, she wouldn't be so stingy. But it was Aunt Chi, and the new hatred and old hatred were sandwiched together, and her face immediately turned cold.

There are some things that shouldn't be said by her mother's family, Chi Dazhu sometimes can't figure it out, this kind of person you give her the first time, there will be a second time, and she will always come to pester you.

…………

The orange is made of braised fish, and five or six knives are cut on both sides of the fish, and it will taste good at that time. Vinegar, sugar, salt, mix into a sauce, fry the fish until slightly yellow, leave oil to choke the green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, add water and simmer.

After the juice is thickened, the braised fish is ready. The body of the fish should be complete, the color should be red and bright, sprinkled with green onions and coriander, and the red and green matches are hooking.

During the meal, several people gathered around the table, and Chen was inconvenient because of his body, so Huang stayed in the East House to eat with her. Aunt Chi and the three children ate without waiting for Chi Dazhu to move the chopsticks, and several pairs of chopsticks were sandwiched towards the braised fish at the same time.

A chopstick down is a big mouthful, the fish bones in this North River are few, the meat is fine, tender as fat, and the taste is fresh. It melts in the mouth, smooth and fat, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The juice of the hook tastes just right, even if you take the steamed bun to dip it in the soup, it is delicious, so Chi Dazhu silently took out the pot and ate it.

Aunt Chi sighed in her heart, and said that she couldn't catch up with this craft.

Jiaojiao quickly ate enough, she handed Chi Dazhu a piece of pot, and said sweetly: "Second uncle, you eat another piece." My cousin's cooking is delicious, and I saw her sew a puppet, which is really ingenious! It's just so tiring to go on like this......"

Chi Dazhu was resonated, and he also felt that Orange was tired and panicked!

***

Xiao Shun saw Fang Dangjia sit down, he was very unconvinced, if it weren't for Fang Dangjia's majesty on weekdays, he would have taken care of his face. Otherwise, he would have rushed up and beaten the pine and cypress, and the fight was counted as one, just out of evil anger.

Songbai closed the book unhurriedly, and said with the head of the house: "It just so happens that the head of the house is here, and I want to ask why there is no food for me every day?" Since I got on the boat, I have heard that Fang Dangjia is fair, I don't know how to deal with this matter? ”

As soon as he said this, he blocked Fang Dangjia's Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and Fang Dangjia was not annoyed, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied Songbai became, and he felt that his mind was still bright.

"It's the kitchen that's wrong, there's no food when I come to you every day, I'll talk about it later." Fang Dangjia paused and said, "Although you were brought by Du Dangjia, this beating is not right, and it is reasonable to talk about Emperor Laozi!" You say, don't you? He tested Songbai with words, in case he was on the other side of Du's house, he didn't have to work in vain.

Songbai's eyes flashed, he was not mistaken, this ship was already on the same page, and there were many people on both sides. Du Dangjia is as stable as Mount Tai, but Fang Dangjia is a good person.

He nodded, "Naturally, this is the reason, my brother-in-law has a bit of a temper, but if someone else didn't provoke him first, he wouldn't have done it!" Everyone is a villager, and they are in the same boat, so they should not all be given to brothers. ”

Fang Dangjia scolded his mother in his heart, but he really didn't let it at all. beat someone and insinuated that Xiaoshun was not authentic, not to mention his hints, the sentence "It's all in the same boat", four or two thousand pounds, so that he couldn't say what he said next, it seems that he can't please anything today.

Songbai saw that Fang was in charge and didn't speak, Xiaoshun was still unconvinced, "If you feel unconvinced, let's go to the deck to try it later!" If I, Zhao Songbai, win you, we will write it off! ”

Xiaoshun snorted, "Lao Tzu is just about to loosen his bones, just fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" I'm afraid that you will kneel on the ground and beg grandpa for a while! ”

Songbai looked at his body, thin or thin, and he could still see that he had practiced. However, he can unknowingly let the good wealth fall into the dung, and he still has some real skills. He didn't practice in vain on weekdays.

Fang Dangjia didn't stop it, just took this opportunity to see how much ability Songbai had, and it was not possible to go to sea without a little effort.
