In less than half an hour, Caiyun was already jubilant with the ice in the bucket, and there were as many as half a bucket.

Caiyun turned the bucket and said worriedly: "After fishing so much, we won't be able to eat it all in a day, and we will die if we leave it overnight, and it will stink!" ”

Mu Xiang was still fishing in the net, and when she heard her sister's worry, she said with a smile: "What is there to be afraid of, let's go back to the small ditch, peel and wash all this, go home and take the salt and marinate it overnight, and then take the smoke and smoke it, and it will be dried. This year has passed the time to make sauce, and she will make more next year, but she can't eat vegetables without sauce in winter, and the next time she goes to town, she has to buy some sauce back. However, her vegetable garden has red peppers, and she grows late peppers, which will be in full bloom, just in time for chili sauce.

Caiyun saw that the eldest sister had an idea, and after knowing that these small fish and shrimp would not be wasted, she picked them up more diligently.

The three of them fished for a while, and their faces were all red, and the sun was really not ordinary.

Mu Xiang saw that the bucket was almost full, and beckoned Caiyun and Mu Lang to go home.

Mu Lang happily hummed a minor tune all the way and walked in front happily.

Because he had to cut the fish and shrimp in the pond behind, Caiyun volunteered to go home first to get a kitchen knife.

Mu Xiang said: "You bring this shrimp net back, you don't have to bring one more when you go back, oh, remember to bring another bamboo basket!" ”

"Hey, I'll go now, you guys will wait a minute," Caiyun carried the shrimp net and trotted all the way home.

"Mu Lang come here, come here to cool off for a while," Seeing that Caiyun was gone, Mu Xiang called Mu Lang over, there are a few poplar trees by the pond, and it is best to enjoy the shade.

"Hmm," Mu Lang was still holding a crayfish in his hand, but he was not afraid of the two big claws of the crayfish, and he kept holding it in his hand.

Mu Xiang touched his little face, it was all burned, "Do you want to go back and drink some water, your second sister happened to go back, or you should go back too?" "The pond is close to home, only a hundred meters away, and when they sit here, they can see the broken courtyard wall. Therefore, Mu Xiang was not worried about the danger of him going back alone.

"I'm not hot, I don't have to go back," Mu Lang's head shook like a rattle, and he smirked at Mu Xiang after shaking.

Seeing his silly appearance, Mu Xiang sneered.

Caiyun came out soon after returning home, carrying a bamboo basket and running fast. When he ran to Mu Xiang, he gasped and said, "Brother Wang Xi is here with Brother Changzhuan, and Sister Meizi is also here, they will be looking for a place to dig soil to make adobe, but Brother Wang Xi said, you don't have to rush back, just have a few of them." ”

Mu Xiang looked in the direction of the courtyard wall, Wang Xi held two bamboo baskets, stood there and smiled at her, there was a male baby standing next to him, shorter than him, not as strong as Wang Xi, and there was a round-faced girl at the back, she was a big plum. The three of them stood there and waved at Mu Xiang.

Da Meizi's voice was loud, and she shouted to her with a smile: "You don't have to greet us, just take care of the dinner at night!" ”

Mu Xiang was amused by her words, and also replied loudly: "Please eat small trash fish and fried shrimp in the evening!" ”

Da Mei held her brother on the bolt, covering her mouth and laughing.

Wang Xi beckoned them to work, and Mu Xiang hurriedly packed up the fish and shrimp. Pick out all the goya fish, you can cook soup and drink at night, as for the crayfish, she wants to burn, but unfortunately there is no spice, and it will definitely not taste good when it is cooked. Rice shrimp is easier, stir-fry with green onions and chili peppers, and you don't need to put other condiments, it is already very fresh and delicious. As for the staple food of the evening, a little flour will definitely not make a steamed bun, and it will be eaten in less than two meals.

Mu Xiang was thinking about what to eat at night, and the work in her hands did not stop. She and Caiyun worked together, she was responsible for cutting open the belly of the fish, Caiyun was responsible for cleaning, and the millet shrimp was directly removed from the shell on the head and rinsed into the water.

The crayfish had to be ruthless, the head was pinched off, and the shell on the top of the tail was also peeled off, leaving only a little meat at the back. There is a pot of crayfish, peeled shells, I'm afraid it's only enough to fry a plate. Mu Xiang turned the bamboo basket containing crayfish meat, thinking that he would simply put some condiments on the night and fry it, and the rice shrimp was still dried well.

She looked up and saw rows of leeks in the garden, their leaves thin like weeds.

From the very beginning, she found that the previous woody fragrance didn't seem to be very good at growing vegetables, whether it was the most ordinary green onion or something, it was wilting, as if it was about to die. It's a big garden, but it's lifeless.

In fact, as long as you think about it a little, you can understand what the problem is. Vegetables can not lack water, this is true, but vegetables are also the most afraid of waterlogging, especially in low-lying land like this, either the drainage channel is good, or the vegetable garden is raised, otherwise no matter how you pick up, you can't grow good vegetables.

Caiyun watched her stare at the vegetable garden and asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”

Mu Xiang turned his head, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "It's nothing, I'm thinking, let's eat kang tortillas at night, and I'll cut the leeks and pluck some shallots later." ”

Mu Lang was playing happily, and as soon as he heard her mention what he was eating, he immediately turned his head, his face full of anticipation, "Tortillas?" ”

"Yes, tortillas, I'll make them for you when we get back, but we'll get the job done quickly," Muxiang smiled at him.

Caiyun said curiously: "Eldest sister, why do you suddenly make so many delicious foods, I have never heard of these before!" ”

Mu Xiang knew that her sister would definitely ask, so she had to explain to her casually that she had seen it in the town, and that she was thinking about it by herself, and when she was hungry and couldn't sleep at night, she pondered, anyway, they were all things that could fill her stomach.

After cleaning up the fish and shrimp, the three of them went home together. Mu Lang stubbornly wanted to help them carry the heaviest bucket, afraid that Mu Xiang would not believe him, and deliberately waved his arm, indicating that he really had the strength to work. Seeing that he was bent on helping, Mu Xiang didn't stop him, when he passed the vegetable garden, he asked them to go back to boil water first, she went around to the vegetable garden, and cut all the leeks with a kitchen knife, anyway, there were not many of them, and the leek ridges were surrounded by weeds.

She finished cutting the leeks and pulled out the weeds for a while, until the leek ridges were clean, and then she stood up.

Mu Xiang hugged the leek, plucked some green onions, and tilted his head to look at it as he passed by a hole in the outer wall.

In addition to the chimney, there is also a hole in the bottom of the clay stove, which leads from the bottom of the stove to the outside, because all the burning is firewood or straw straw, and after these things are turned into ashes, there must be a hole, and every few days, the ashes are removed. Otherwise, the entrance to the cave will be blocked, and the wind will not be able to pour in, and the fire in the stove will not be able to burn.
