After responding to Qiduo's question, Xu Youxuan suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Qi, how do you know the name of Lu Dao?" He asked, frowning.

Qiduo gathered his mind and said with a faint smile, "Oh, there is an aunt in our village whose name is the same as your surname, so I will ask casually." However, I didn't expect it to have the same name and surname as your aunt, what a coincidence. ”

The old lady broke with the Xu family, and she would never reveal half a word before she proposed to reconcile with the Xu family.

Besides, she is not uncommon for such a grandfather's family.

When I first met Xu Youxuan, I thought he was an authentic profiteer, but fortunately, after contact, I found that he was commendable and a good partner.

Whether he is a cousin or an outsider, since there is already a contract of cooperation, let's continue to cooperate like this for the time being, anyway, I won't take a penny from their Xu family in vain, and all the silver that goes into my purse is what I deserve.

"Really, may I ask how old this aunt is, is she born extremely beautiful?" Xu Youxuan asked.

He thought about it, and wanted to see his eldest aunt who he hadn't seen for more than ten years.

It's just a pity, he doesn't know which village his eldest aunt is married in, otherwise, he might have secretly visited it a long time ago.

"It's almost fifty, and I look average." Qiduo replied, and then asked him pretending to be puzzled, "Brother Xu, why did you ask about this?" You don't suspect that this aunt is your aunt, do you? ”

"Ah, how can it be, I'm just asking casually." Xu Youxuan hurriedly denied it with a smile.

Qiduo's age did not match at all, and he was a little disappointed to know that Dao was not the person he was looking for.

Qiduo didn't say anything more. The two talked about the food city again.

"Little Seven. Wait a minute. "Seven flowers pick up. When he was about to go home, Xu Youxuan trotted over from the direction of the back kitchen.

Qiduo hurriedly stopped and changed directions to meet him.

"Brother Xu, what's the matter?" Qiduo asked.

Xu Youxuan handed the small basket he was carrying to Qiduo, and said softly, "Oh, Xiao Qi, this is the fresh osmanthus fish that has just been caught." My father asked me to bring you two so you could go back and try them. ”

Rao is Tonglin County is located in the Mianjiang River, but the output of osmanthus fish is not much, and it is not easy to obtain.

Mrs. Xu loves to eat osmanthus fish very much, Xu Shengkang specially asked people to go to the river to buy it, which was just taken out of the net and was very fresh.

I only bought six in total, but Xu Shengkang took two and asked him to give seven flowers.

He was surprised, and at the same time happy, happy that his father was not hostile to Qiduo. Future collaborations should be able to continue.

Only then did Qiduo notice that there were two fruity green spotted fish in the basket, and they recognized it at a glance. It was the Guiyu of the previous life.

The two fish are really not small, each weighing about one or two catties, and the tail of the fish is still moving, which is really fresh.

Even in the previous life, osmanthus is also a very valuable fish, and ordinary people are rarely willing to buy it to eat on weekdays, and only buy one or two to try it during the New Year.

"Brother Xu, I don't dare to ask for such a valuable fish." Qiduo hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

She was also strange for Xu Shengkang to suddenly give fish to herself.

Looking at Mrs. Xu's attitude before, it was clear that she was very dissatisfied with herself, didn't Xu Shengkang see it?

What a strange thing!

Just when she was puzzled, Xu Shengkang, who was holding his hands behind his back, also turned from the direction of the back kitchen.

Looking at Qiduo's delicate little face, he seemed to see his sister, and a warm sense of intimacy welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he had the urge to hug her, and then asked, child, how has your family been doing all these years?

"Child, take what you give, don't be polite. The business of the food city is thriving, but it is all your credit, this district is my gratitude to you, thank you for helping Xuan'er so much. In the future, the food city will have to work hard for you. Xu Shengkang said gently.

He tried to make his words sound polite, so that Qiduo thought that he was sending the fish just to thank him, nothing else.

But this child has made Xu Youxuan feel strange, although his father is not as strict as his grandfather, he is not easy to show favor to outsiders.

"Master Xu is polite, what I do is my duty, I really don't need to say thank you." Seven positive color paths.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing politely with your eldest brother, take the fish and go back quickly, otherwise. The fish should die, and it won't taste good. Xu Youxuan shoved the basket into Qiduo's hands.

"I really can't take it." Seven excuses.

She really didn't want to accept this gift, if it was given by Xu Youxuan, she didn't care.

Especially now that Zhilu has explained everyone's relationship, she asked her to accept the fish sent by Xu Shengkang, and she felt a little awkward.

If you really want to eat this fish, you can buy it yourself.

Xu Shengkang saw that Qiduo was really unwilling to accept it, his eyes moved, and he said with a smile, "Seven girls, it's just two fish, it's not as valuable as you think." In fact, I gave you fish, what else do you want? ”

"Oh, what's the matter, Master Xu, you just command." Seven Flowers.

"Seven girls, your cooking skills are extraordinary, I don't know how to make this osmanthus fish delicious?" Xu Shengkang asked with a smile.

This is not a lie, my father loves to eat cinnamon fish, loves its delicious meat, less thorns and tender meat, but it is a pity that his own chef has no other tricks except steaming and braised it.

He very much hopes to make new tricks of Guiyu so that Mrs. Xu can change her taste.

Seven eyes turned slightly, and immediately said like a few treasures, "Guiyu has many small bones, delicate meat, delicious taste, comparable to the dragon meat in the sky of pork meat in the river, braised and steamed, fried and stewed, like squirrel osmanthus fish, stinky osmanthus fish, sweet and sour osmanthus fish are very famous dishes." ”

"Stinky osmanthus fish? How can there be such a strange name, and the guests may be scared away when they hear this, right? Xu Youxuan asked puzzled.

Generally, when choosing the name of a dish, I will take those that are easy to remember and have a good meaning, and try to lean on the incense word, or the first time I heard that the name of the dish has a stinky word.

"Poof, Brother Xu, don't you know, although the stinky osmanthus fish tastes a little stinky, it can taste delicious and make your lips and teeth fragrant. I will never forget this wonderful taste. Qiduo said with a smile. And casually said a little allusion to the stinky osmanthus fish.

After listening to her tell this little story. Xu Youxuan nodded at the same time as his father.

That's what happened.

Xu Shengkang's eyes were even more loving when he saw Qiduo, good, good, the girl has such a talent, I am also happy.

"Xiao Qi, since you have said so, you must make it for us to taste when you go back." Xu Youxuan said with a smile.

"Yes, no problem." Qiduo nodded cheerfully.

"Seven girls. Can you help make this squirrel fish tomorrow? Xu Shengkang asked seriously.

"Tomorrow? Yes, okay. Qiduo hesitated slightly, nodded and agreed.

"That's good, seven girls, these two cinnamon fish will be sent to you to go home to practice, don't shirk again, otherwise, you just look down on me as an old man." Xu Xingkang personally stuffed the basket into her hand, there was no doubt.

Qiduo Zhilu said that he was an excuse, but it was not good to shirk it again. People are sincere, and even this excuse has been found. Where can I be hypocritical.

So he took the basket, thanked him, and waited for Tan Dejin to pick him up.

In order to prevent the Guiyu from dying, Qiduo drew out the spiritual spring water and rubbed it on the fish to keep them fresh.

Tan Dejin took six oranges to sell lotus root today, and there were no accidents.

A total of 300 catties of lotus root were sold, and more than seven taels of silver were obtained, and the whole lotus root and the broken lotus root were almost half sold.

The two of them went home in the middle of the morning, and there were still many things to do at home.

After waiting for a while, Tan Dejin's ox cart arrived.

When he saw the fish in the seven baskets, he couldn't help but ask.

She said it briefly.

On the way home, Qiduo bought fish and some accessories needed to make squirrel cinnamon fish, and prepared to go home to make this dish for everyone in the family to try, and also gave one to Zheng Wanru for her to try it too.

"Dad, did you ask about that barren mountain?" Qiduo had this in mind.

"Well, after I went home last morning, I went to Li Hezhuang with your fourth uncle to ask, only to learn that the barren mountain is not owned by Li Hezhuang, if you want to buy it, you have to go to the county government to find the ancient county order." Tedkin replied.

"That's right." Qiduo nodded slightly.

Gu Xianling didn't know him, and he didn't know what this person's morality was.

It's just a pity that Wang Honglei's heart is not right, otherwise, he can be introduced, acquaintances are easy to talk to.

It seems that he is going to trouble Aunt Shen.

The father and daughter did not continue the topic, and Qiduo asked about the situation of digging lotus root today.

With the joining of Tang Hu, and everyone is becoming more and more proficient, more than 3,500 catties have been dug today, and there are fewer and fewer damaged lotus roots.

Qiduo was very happy, this is the result of being happy to see.

Next, it's time to start selling lotus roots, which can't be delayed.

At the same time, it is recommended that the lotus root Mo go back again, dig a pit directly in the Luhua slope and store it, digging more and more lotus roots every day, but the amount of lotus that can be sold every day is limited, the day is getting warmer and warmer, and if it goes on like this, the lotus root will all be broken.

Of course, this matter has to rely on Tang Hu's help.

The food city has just opened, Qiduo is not at ease, and has to go and see it, and there are more things here in Lotus Pond, and you also need to think of ideas.

She can't wait to have a doppelganger technique, one person to several people to do things.

After returning home, Xu told Qiduo that Zheng Wanru asked her to go to dinner at night, and she must go.

Qiduo narrowed her eyes and smiled, just because she wanted to ask her aunt for something, so let's take the opportunity to talk about it.

She wasn't going to go over empty-handed to eat ready-made, she had ready-made ingredients at home, so she just made some food to bring over.

Prepare to make three dishes: glutinous rice lotus, lotus root and squirrel osmanthus fish.

"Mother, this osmanthus fish is very rare, and it is sometimes difficult to buy it if you have money. In this way, call grandma over at night and let them taste it too, and their attitude seems to have changed a little in the past few days. Qiduo discussed with the Xu family.

In the past two days, Mr. Tan asked San Lang to help transport the lotus root for free, and asked Tan Decai and San Lang to help watch the lotus root at night, and he was not embarrassed, and the salary was left to his father, although these were not particularly big things, but she kept them in her heart.

People respect me for a foot, and I go back to people's homes.

This is the principle of Qiduo's life.

"Cheng, this is also how it should be, no matter what, they are all elders, we shouldn't hold grudges, my mother is glad that you have such a measure." Xu said softly stroking her hair.

"Hehe, by the way, there are also the third uncle and the third brother, all called together." Qiduo said again.

Xu nodded in agreement.

When Tan Dejin heard the decision of his wife and daughter, his cheeks flushed with joy, which was exactly what he wanted.

After he was ready to tidy up the lotus root, he went to the front yard to call Old Man Tan.

After settling down, Qiduo went to slaughter fish and wash fish, Liuju helped wash and peel lotus roots, and Xu helped wash glutinous rice and cut meat, and the kitchen became lively.

And Erxia took the three of Wang's aunts and sisters-in-law to wash the lotus, since the separation, Erxia has become more and more like the eldest sister, rushing to do everything, and the two of them were judged before.

Qiduo also wants to take this opportunity to teach everyone how to make these dishes, and maybe it can come in handy in the future.

To make squirrel fish, cut off the head of the cleaned fish, and remove the bones on the back of the fish with a knife, but do not cut the belly of the fish, and leave some backbones at the tail of the fish.

Spread out the boneless cinnamon skin face down, cut it into a flower knife with an oblique knife, cut it deeper, but not cut the skin, make an opening at the tail, pull the tail out of the knife, soak it in salt water for a while to remove the fish, and at the same time let the fish open more stylishly.

Over there, according to what Qiduo said, the glutinous rice has been poured into the lotus root and started to cook in the pot.

Xu Shi also cut the lotus root clip, chopped the meat filling, Qiduo cleaned his hands, and put the meat filling into the lotus root clip with her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiduo quietly asked the Xu family if the matchmaker had come again.

Xu nodded and said that Shangyu was coming, but she directly refused.

Qiduo nodded, hoping that Han Hecheng Mo would have that beautiful dream again, spare you if you are as handsome as a fairy, and you don't want to marry Erxia.

When the glutinous rice lotus root is cooked until it is almost cooked, the seven flowers are in another pot, pour in rapeseed oil, and start to fry the lotus root and the osmanthus fish.

"Ah, what kind of delicious food is this, it's so delicious." Qiduo was doing a good job, and suddenly Zhao's annoying voice came from afar.

Qiduo looked out, only to see Zhao walking over with a middle-aged woman with a face. (To be continued......)
