Meng Qing stood under the willow tree not far from the river, looking at the little man fluttering in the river to catch fish, and his breath was blocked in his chest, so stuffy that he almost suffocated.

I saw excited little faces, red and full of vitality.

And the fish in their hands are struggling violently to survive.

The fishtail makes a splash and reflects a beautiful little rainbow.

The scene in front of me is full of joy and pain, beauty and cruelty.

This split emotion tormented Meng Qing's nerves.

He has no way to save the lives of the fish, and he has no position to stop the children's happiness.

The feeling of powerlessness that pervaded his limbs made him even more angry.

Turning her head again, she saw Jiang Zhilian smiling like a flower, counting the fish for a while, counting the sugar for a while, and the snot bubbles were about to flow out.

Meng Qing scolded in a low voice: Executioner! Butcher! Barbarous! Female Devil! ……

He scolded all the words he could think of, but he was still not angry.

As soon as he saw her shameless smile, his heart twitched.

Jiang Zhilian felt a knife flying towards her, carrying gusts of cold wind.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Meng Qing.

Jiang Zhilian waved her hand at him and motioned for him to hurry up.

A vegetarian animal protector and a veterinarian, you are here to enjoy the large-scale fishing scene, aren't you looking for abuse!

Look at this handsome man with a black face, people who don't know think he has suffered from someone.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Jiang Zhilian exaggerated her lip shape.

But Meng Qing seemed to grow in the soil, not moving at all, and had no intention of leaving.

Jiang Zhilian shook her head and gave up.

Okay, just sit there and watch me catch the fish.

Ay...... Between men and money, she can only choose money for the time being.

Because money represents survival, survival is the first priority.

Men are not necessary to live, but money in hand is indispensable.

She doesn't have much money at the moment, and she has very few ingredients to choose from.

Fresh and free fish, there is no way for her to turn a blind eye!

When the sugar was finished, the three large bamboo baskets were filled with fish, which could be 150 or 60 catties by visual measurement.

The children ate candy and played happily, leaving Jiang Zhilian worried in place.

Wu Tao was working in the brigade, so it was inconvenient to call over.

Auntie's waist is not very good, and she can't lift anything too heavy.

Who should I call for help?

The adults have gone to work in the fields, and the big children have no energy and can't count on it.

She can't carry so many fish alone.

If she moved it one by one, she was afraid that Meng Qing would take the opportunity to release the fish.

Just when she was in distress, Meng Qing walked over to her.

Jiang Zhilian's first reaction was that it was over, and this thing was looking for trouble again.

As for the fish that he finally caught, if he dares to throw the fish into the river, the old lady will fight with him!

Moving her wrists and ankles, twisting her waist, and turning her neck, Jiang Zhilian quickly entered a state of preparation.

Meng Qing glanced at her like a fool, bent down and picked up two bamboo baskets and left.

"Hey, wait, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhilian immediately carried the remaining bamboo basket and staggered behind him.

It's better not to go to the river, at least not to die with him right away.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly realized that she was acute. This is the way home......

Jiang Zhilian walked slowly, and when she got home, she saw Meng Qing standing in the middle of the courtyard, with two baskets of fish in front of her, and he was taking a sharp kitchen knife from Chen Shufen's hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Meng Qing had a cold face, ignored her, and sat down with his back to her.

Chen Shufen explained with a smile, "Xiao Meng wants to help you clean up the fish." ”

"What?" Jiang Zhilian plucked out her ears, she heard her right? "Hey, why are you still killing!"

It's not logical!

Meng Qing knocked the back of the knife on the head of the fish without mercy, and with a bang, the fish fainted instantly.

The tip of the knife was picked one by one, and the internal organs were exposed, and they were cleaned in three or two strokes.

Pick out the fish roe and fish bubbles and put them in a small bowl.

Then he put down the large kitchen knife and replaced it with a small knife.

Pinch the tail of the fish with one hand, hold the knife in the other hand and start scraping the scales diagonally in the direction of the head of the fish.

After a few clicks, there were no fish scales left, and the fish meat was not hurt at all.

A fish is packed up like this.

Jiang Zhilian was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Meng Qing turned her head to look at her, her eyes full of bloodshots.

His voice was low and hoarse, revealing forbearance, "In this way, the fish will be less painful." ”

Jiang Zhilian suddenly felt as if she had been slapped with a stick, and her head was buzzing.

But this feeling is fleeting.

Too compassionate to survive in this world.

The survival of the fittest is always an indisputable social law.

"Then I'll leave these fish to you, hard work." Jiang Zhilian turned around and went into the kitchen.

When he came out after making dinner, Meng Qing had already left.

The fish were cleaned up and neatly arranged in large basins.

Ay......

Jiang Zhilian sighed heavily, not knowing what she was sighing about.

**

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Wu Tao got up.

Soybeans are best harvested in the morning when the dew is heavy, so the team set the time for the assembly at 4 a.m.

For several days in a row, Wu Tao went to work before dawn, his body was already weak, and after tossing for a few days, he was about to fall apart.

But when you look back at the first batch of threshing soybeans, the joy is unparalleled.

When other families distribute soybeans, they have to take them to the barn to dry, and store them after they are dried.

In addition to the more than 20 catties of soybeans that Jiang Zhilian left to be returned, the remaining 180 catties were all prepared to be used to make tempeh fish sauce.

This time, neither Wu Tao nor Chen Shufen raised objections.

Chen Shufen stayed at home to help Jiang Zhilian sift the soybeans together, remove debris, clean and soak, cover the tempeh grass, and ferment the beans.

Due to the hot weather, Jiang Zhilian shortened the fermentation time and streamlined the process, so this time it only took a week to make the fish sauce.

The day of the sauce is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she plans to go into the city and go out of the stall.

Chen Shufen persuaded her: "Youting will come back in the morning, don't go for the festival today, it's not half a day." ”

Jiang Zhilian: "I didn't bring too much sauce, and I will come back at three or four o'clock in the afternoon." Just cut two catties of pork in the city by the way, and let's make dumplings to eat at night! ”

Chen Shufen couldn't resist Jiang Zhilian, she felt that this child seemed to have something on her mind, and there were probably other things to deal with when she entered the city, so she didn't say anything more, but just advised: "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Jiang Zhilian waved her hand, "I know, auntie, don't worry!" ”

I didn't go to the gate of the national cotton factory to set up a stall for a whole week, did these people think that she was scared away by a few gossips?

Oh, I underestimate her Jiang Zhilian too much!

If you are slapped in the face, you have to wait for this girl to be in the mood for free.
