The second roasting of charcoal fire requires three to five small ones, and the moisture is basically roasted, and three or four kilograms of fresh fish are baked into one kilogram of dried fish.

At this time, the aroma of dried fish spreading from Xie's house was so rich and domineering that it was pervasive, and it made people's stomachs empty and sound.

"Mother, I want to eat, I want to eat." The little baby is noisy.

The adults also swallowed saliva from time to time, and they were troubled by the little baby, and they couldn't help chattering.

"Damn, what the hell is this doing, fragrance can seduce people's souls."

"Or, take the baby to see, it's not okay to ask someone for a little, it's all from a village, the other party can't wipe the face, and he will definitely give it."

……

There are many dialogues like this in Qinglu Village.

More and more people walked out of the house, and the fragrance of the escape headed towards the Xie family.

Outside the Xie family's small courtyard.

Squeezed with messy hair, dirty, patched clothes.

They swallowed desperately, staring at the dried fish in the courtyard.

When Bao saw it, his face couldn't bear it, and he held a basket of fish and went over to each child.

The children who were given the dried fish immediately grabbed the fish with both hands and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Dead child! Give me this fish, and you can ask Aunt Bao for another one. ”

The adults who came in time were overjoyed when they saw that their children had fish in their hands.

After they unceremoniously snatched the dried fish, they smiled at Bao's with a smirk, and stretched out their fingers to point at the little baby's meaningful counting.

Bao's face showed hesitation.

"Ouch, look at the children's greed, you have so much, what's wrong with giving us a little? Can't you bear to watch the children cry? ”

"That's right, why are you so ruthless?"

Someone pinched the back meat of a little baby, and the little baby cried out in pain with a "wow-" cry.

"Look, you're still here, don't you see how the children cry?"

"Like, isn't it just a little fish? It's not something you bought, it's not worth anything, why are you so stingy? ”

Bao was surrounded by the seven or eight aunts in front of him, and he looked embarrassed, and he swooped for a while, but he still returned to the pot with the basket to load the fish.

Outside the courtyard gate, the ladies who successfully squeezed the Bao family squeezed their eyebrows one by one, and their eyes flashed with excitement.

They stared hard at the basket in Bao's arms, eager for Bao to take more.

Ji Wan, who was directing everyone to decorate the altar, heard the cry and looked over suspiciously.

Outside the courtyard of the Xie family, seven or eight aunts and aunts who are not close to the Xie family on weekdays have a dried fish in each hand.

Not only that, but they were also urging Bao to put dried fish in the basket.

Ji Wan's eyes were stunned!

Is this worth it?

She twisted her eyebrows, walked quickly to Bao's side with a small face, took a deep breath, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Second sister-in-law, these fish belong to everyone, let's share them with others in private, isn't it okay?"

Bao Shi was stunned, turned around and looked outside the courtyard, a few babies who looked at her with their eyes, and hesitated to speak.

"It's not good, look at how pitiful they are, those ladies are right, anyway, we didn't buy these with silver, did we?"

Ji Wan looked at Bao's innocent face, with a look of pity in her eyes, choked in her throat in one breath, and couldn't go up or down.

"What's wrong?" Xie Xianhua walked over and looked at the dried fish stacked high in Bao's basket and asked.

Bao quietly brushed the broken hair on his sideburns and said embarrassedly.

"Ji Wan and I are discussing how much dried fish to send to everyone, those children are so pitiful, I don't know if a basket is enough."

Xie Xianhua glanced at the aunts and aunts who were probing their brains outside the courtyard gate, twisted their eyebrows slightly, and looked at Ji Wan silently inquiringly.

'What's going on?' You're going to give them the fish? ’

Ji Wanxing's eyes were round and she shook her head frantically: I'm not, I don't!

Xie Xianhua's eyes were hiding a smile.

He clearly pulled Ji Wan to the side and lowered his voice.

"The second sister-in-law's temperament is indeed like this, you are more tolerant, and I will help you break her apart?"

Ji Wan nodded happily when she heard this, although the Bao family was the Holy Mother, there was something wrong with her.

But during this time, Bao's kindness to her is really speechless!

If she really wanted her to reprimand Bao, Ji Wan couldn't do it.

But let Bao Shi give away the dried fish that everyone worked hard to make and sell it for money to give to others for free?

She deserves to panic again!

"Is there any way you can get rid of your second sister-in-law?" Ji Wan asked.

She suddenly realized that a similar situation might happen again.

If you want not to be aggrieved in the future, you have to find a way to target the Virgin of Bao's nature!

"You watch." Xie Xianhua smiled at the corner of his mouth and winked at Ji Wan.

Ji Wan followed behind Xie Xianhua curiously, and then returned to Bao's side.

"Second sister-in-law."

Xie Xianhua said with a worried face.

"Xiaohua, Tiger Head and a group of children, they have been kneading bitter pig vegetables all day, and their little hands have blistered ......"

"Oops! So miserable! ”

Before Xie Xianhua finished speaking, Bao's pair of lychee eyes had already surged with mist, and he frowned distressedly.

"I'm going to help them, hey, poor thing, you should have called me to help."

She immediately hurriedly put down the basket and ran in the direction where Xie Xiaohua and the others were with a worried expression.

Xie Xianhua asked: 'Have you learned?' ’

Ji Wan's light brown pupils turned slightly, and her heart suddenly opened up.

Since Bao's Virgin Mary, Xie Xianhua emphasized that Xiaohua's children are suffering a great sin for dried fish, and the degree of misery is much worse than those outside the courtyard gate!

Bao naturally felt sorry for the worse party, and his attention naturally shifted to Xiaohua and others.

Ji Wan gave Xie Xianhua a thumbs up: "High." ”

"Take, take. Xie Xianhua smiled at the corner of his mouth, pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate, and asked, "What can you do?" ”

Ji Wan groaned: "I'll tell Aunt Zheng about this?" ”

Xie Xianhua laughed and gave a thumbs up.

"You are also tall, pick one person at a time, in terms of fighting and scolding the street, a hundred you are not Aunt Zheng's opponent, I heard that before you married in our Qinglu Village, your pungent reputation spread all over the country."

Ji Wan didn't find this in her memory, but during this time, she got along with Zheng, but she saw Zheng's bold and refreshing temperament.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Wan said to Zheng, Zheng's face sank on the spot.

She walked majestically towards the courtyard gate.

Ji Wan was worried that the Zheng family would suffer if she rushed out alone, so she hurriedly followed behind her and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Zheng's feet were extremely fast, and like a gust of wind, he rushed out of the gate of Xie's courtyard.

She was like a door god, with her hands on her hips, staring at the revocation eyes, and inspected the aunts and ladies who were still holding flavored dried fish in their hands one by one.

"You took my Zheng Cui'er's fish, did you ask me if I agreed?"

The face of the person holding the fish in his hand changed slightly, and he didn't want to provoke the spicy Zheng, but he was reluctant to give up the fragrant fish in his hand.

"This is the Xie family's thing, it was given to us by the Bao family, what does it matter to your Zheng family?"

One of them, a woman who looked twenty-five, with a round face and a white face, and a plump body, sneered coldly and retorted.

"Widow Liu recently caught up, and Hu Huanxi, the third son of Hu Qing, the head of Wangshui Village, changed his weak temperament."

Xie Xianhua rushed over with a pestle, and after seeing the two sides of the dispute, he explained to Ji Wan in a low voice.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

A wrong eye, and suddenly a fight broke out in front of him.

I saw Zheng grabbing Widow Liu's hair, starting work left and right, and Widow Liu's face rose like a steamed bun.

The other aunts who were helping, when they saw Widow Liu's face, their eyebrows jumped together, and they quietly took two steps back.

"Bring the fish!"

Zheng pushed away the crying Widow Liu in disgust, and swept the aunts and ladies who were carrying dried fish nearby with cold eyes.

The aunts and aunts didn't expect Zheng to be so faceless, their faces were slightly dark, and they didn't want to hand over the fish in their hands, they hadn't tasted it yet!

“he tui——”

Suddenly, Widow Liu, who fell to the ground, got up quickly, and unexpectedly, spit out a mouthful of saliva on a dried fish in front of her.

"Hmph, let's see how you can take it back and eat it." Widow Liu, who successfully spit out her saliva, raised her head triumphantly.

Ji Wan watched a lump of white saliva slip off the dried fish, and she was disgusted.

The other aunts and aunts who still had fish in their hands had their eyes lit up and wanted to take a look at the fish in their hands.

At this time, Qiangzi Niang, Aunt Osmanthus, Aunt Chang, Aunt Gu...... waited for others, I didn't see Zheng and Ji Wan back for a long time, and they came over.

When they saw that a few thorns in the village had gathered together to stir up trouble and wanted to bring disaster to the dried fish they had worked so hard to bake, they were immediately furious!

More than a dozen people rushed forward and quickly snatched the dried fish.

"What are you all doing? How did it all come together? ”

It happened that Bai Youfu, the village chief, came over with a pipe in his mouth, saw the two parties tearing each other, and asked loudly.

When Widow Liu saw that the old village chief was coming, she immediately sat on the ground, and her tears flowed, singing and beating the mud floor.

"Ouch, I'm not alive anymore, bully me a widow! Kill! O robbers! ”

"Whew! These dried fish were originally ours, who robbers? Who kills? ”

Zheng was so angry that these people reversed black and white, and jumped to their feet in anger.

Ji Wan stepped forward and explained the cause and effect with Bai Youfu in detail.

Bai Youfu suddenly sank his face and looked at Widow Liu and the others.

"These fish are all together, and you take the fish without the consent of all of them, it's your fault, what do you have to say?"

"What's wrong with us, it's you who are unfair, why can you make dried fish together and not call us?"

Widow Liu choked, and the others responded.

"Huh." Bai Youfu was laughed at angrily.

"How did these fish come from, don't you count them in your hearts?"

Zheng's hands were crossed on his hips, and his two mouths were churning.

"When I was dividing the fish before, I asked you if you wanted to participate? At the time, it was said that there might be a risk, who ran faster than a rabbit? Now that we've made delicious dried fish, would you like to take it for free? Do you want face? ”

Several people were counted out, although they were not convinced.

But they were also worried that the village chief would put on small shoes for them in the future, so they could only unwillingly drop the dried fish, pull their own children, and go home.

When the little babies saw that the delicious dried fish was gone, they couldn't help but cry.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know to cry, and if you cry, those who have lost their conscience in the Xie family will not give you fish to eat."

The reprimand faded away.

When everyone cleaned up, they found that Widow Liu took advantage of everyone's inattention to pick up the fish she spat on and left quietly.

"This thief mother-in-law!" Zheng asked Ji Wan angrily: "Why don't I chase her back." ”

As soon as Ji Wan thought of the dried fish stained with a lot of saliva, she immediately shook her head in disgust.

"Take it, take it, let's grab it back, and we should respond to it."

In Wangshui Village, Widow Liu carried dried fish into the courtyard gate of the village chief Hu Qing.

Hu Qing's third son, Hu Huanxi, saw Widow Liu, his eyes lit up, and he greeted her.

He took the dried fish, put his other hand on Widow Liu's waist, and rubbed it ambiguously: "Why did you come here today?" ”

Widow Liu glanced embarrassedly at Hu Qing, who was sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard, and pressed Hu Huanxi, who was close to him, with her back elbow.

"I'm looking for Village Chief Hu today, don't you know, this fish is made by the Xie family, and there are thousands of dried fish in the Xie family!"

"What? You're saying it again!! ”

Hu Qing, who was leisurely shaking the rocking chair, Huo Ran stabilized the rocking chair, his eyes burning.
