Chapter 10: Attack on the Foodie
"Although it is snowing and the river is frozen, it is not as cold as in the moon, and the ice is not thick. Uncle Tan and the others chiseled the ice, lifted the fish basket, and found that the fish had grown a lot, so they picked the six largest ones and brought them back. I just went to see it, and each one weighed four or five pounds, and it's still jumping around!
My mother said that this fish is kept in stewed soup to replenish the body of the young lady and the young master.
When I finished eating, I went to the river to fish, and my second brother put a lot of fish fry in at the beginning. ”
Yun Xing said that her second brother Cai Ershun raised fish, and Rong Yunhe had heard about it in modern times.
This bitter cold in the northwest, as soon as it enters September, it basically enters the winter, and the villagers have almost no other dishes on the table except cabbage and radish to change the taste, and everyone's life is hard, so they think of ways to improve their lives.
The people next to the river usually take advantage of the fact that the river is not frozen, put the fish fry caught from the river into the fish basket, and then go down the fish basket into the river.
In this way, in the winter, the ice on the surface of the river is smashed open, and the fish basket is fished, and the fry raised in it grow into big fish.
Speaking of fish, Rong Yunhe felt that the saliva in his mouth doubled.
Speaking of which, although Mother Lu and Aunt Luo have the heart to replenish her body in the past two days, but in this cold and snowy place, the river surface is frozen solidly, not to mention the fish and shrimp that can be eaten, there is not even a shadow!
The last time Cai Bairui went to the county seat, she didn't see anyone selling fresh fish and shrimp in Fang City, so she hasn't tasted fish and shrimp since she came here!
In the sixteen years of being Xue Wuniang in her previous life, under the strict discipline of her mothers, she had hardly touched fish and shrimp and other river freshness, and now when she heard that there were six big fish at home, she immediately became greedy.
It's just that this fish, although the stewed soup is also extremely delicious, but in that case, only he and his brother can eat it at home.
And the Cai family and the Tan family, although they are nominally the descendants of their Rong family, can feel the meticulous care of everyone in the two days that Rong Yunhe woke up, and they have long regarded them as their relatives in their hearts.
In the past two days, I couldn't resist Lu's mother, and I watched myself and my brother eat delicious food in a variety of ways, and supplements such as bird's nest, white fungus, longan and red dates were also available every day. But Yunying and the others can only eat coarse grains, pickles, and gruel, and it is rare to eat an egg occasionally, and Rong Yunhe's heart has long been uncomfortable.
Now that she has finally got six fish, if she is allowed to eat alone again, her heart really can't get over that hurdle.
After all, the four elder brothers of Uncle Tan, Uncle Cai and Yun Xing all work hard, and the coarse grain cakes and pickles they eat on weekdays don't even have some oil and water, where can they be full?
As for Yun Xing, she is less than a year older than herself, and it is also the time to grow her body, since this year's situation was not good and her family began to save money, she now finds that Yun Xing's already slender body has become thinner, and she looks a little weak.
Therefore, Rong Yunhe thought about it in his heart for a while and decided to find a way for everyone to eat fish and improve their lives.
Just do it, made a decision in her heart, she immediately sat up from the kang, and did not pick up the walnut kernels and pine nuts peeled by Yun Xing's hands, but instructed Yun Xing: "You take me to the kitchen to see." ”
Yun Xing was holding a handful of small walnut kernels and pine nuts in her hand, she was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, this is so good, what are you doing in the kitchen?" My mother said that the kitchen is not clean, but it is not a place for masters to go. Besides, you're still weak, it's snowing outside, and you can't go out and blow the wind. ”
Rong Yunhe was excited, but he forgot that he couldn't go out now, so he had to sit down again and said, "Then you go and call your mother and Aunt Luo, I have something to tell them." ”
Although Yun Xing was a little confused, she still immediately went out of the embroidery building according to her words, went to the kitchen in the front yard and called Lu's mother and Luo Cailei over.
Rong Yunhe took the handful of small walnut kernels and pine nuts and slowly put them in her mouth to taste, and the fragrance in her mouth immediately captured her as a snack.
Yun Ying looked at Rong Yunhe squinting and enjoying the delicious food, and couldn't help but smile: "Miss, don't panic, I heard the big girl say that these walnuts and pine nuts are more fragrant if they are fried!" ”
Luo Cailei was discussing with Lu's mother in the kitchen how to deal with those fish, and when she heard Yun Xing come over and say that the young lady had something to say, she thought it was something important, so she hurriedly pulled Lu's mother over, and at this time she was still wearing a coarse cloth apron and didn't have time to take it off.
As soon as she and Mother Lu entered the door, they asked with concern, "What's wrong with Miss?" If you have to say anything, everything is with me and your mother! ”
Rong Yunhe was even more moved in his heart, so he didn't hesitate to say what he meant: "I heard Yun Xing just now that Uncle Tan and Second Brother Cai brought back a lot of things from the mountains today, and Second Brother Cai also brought back six fish, right?" ”
Luo Cailei saw that Rong Yunhe was mentioning this matter, so she put her mind at ease, wiped her wet hand on her apron casually, and said, "Yes, we were talking about how to deal with those six fish just now!" Your mother said that now that the weather is cold, the six fish will be kept, hanging under the eaves of the kitchen, and it will not be bad if they are frozen into ice cubes, and they will be stewed for you and the young master every day to replenish your body.
Now that your bones are just right, the deer, the hare, and the pheasant will not be able to eat until your bones are complete. So I'll take care of the wild things later, salt them, put them in the cellar and store them, and then we'll eat them slowly. ”
Rong Yunhe encouraged himself in his heart before he spoke: "Mom, Aunt Luo, although I am sick now, I stay in this house and don't go out, but I also know what the situation is outside."
Every day, my brother and I eat as delicately as before, but you all eat coarse grains and drink gruel.
I know that you feel sorry for your brother who has to study hard, and I have a bad body, so I want to make up for us. But there is no oil and water in the meals every day, Uncle Tan, Uncle Cai and Brother Cai have to work hard, where can they withstand it? ”
ps: It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when I wrote this chapter, and the hungry aunt was writing about so many delicacies, and she felt even more hungry...... I really want to go out and eat fish swollen......
