Stir-fry the sugar color with another pot of oil with another stewed eye, Guo Mianmian knew that this was to make stewed meat at a glance, and immediately took the pork belly, mushrooms and dried beans.

Sure enough, both pots were stewed immediately. Time passed between the two pots, and the whole courtyard was filled with aroma. My grandmother went out to buy steamed buns, but there was really no pot at home to steam rice, and I met a lot of neighbors.

With food as a medium, everyone's conversation box opened up at once.

"Auntie, what are you doing, it's so fragrant." It was the lady of the Chen family in the alley who spoke, and she had helped the Guo family a lot in the past few days of moving.

"When we first arrived, we thought that in a few days we would invite the neighbors to warm up the house together, and we planned to open two tables." Grandmother replied with a smile; "My daughter-in-law is afraid that it won't taste good, so I'm going to practice it first, and remember to come when we set a date."

"You must remember to invite me, I've been smelling this for almost a day, and I've wanted to eat it for a long time."

"I'm definitely going, I remember that there is a little girl in your house, I'll bring her a few flowers."

"Don't forget to call me, I'll weigh some candy and snacks, and you won't buy them."

The little ladies who were doing show work with Mrs. Chen in the alley cheered up one by one, and their grandmother agreed repeatedly, saying that they were going to find someone to write a post and send it home.

It made everyone tremble.

The partial-born Qian lady said on the side:

"If you're really afraid that it won't be delicious, wouldn't it be good to go upstairs to the cloud and call for a two-tael banquet, it's worth it." That's it, before I ate it, I picked it up. ”

Mrs. Chen is a straightforward character, and she choked directly: "Yo, if you want to eat two taels of silver, how much courtesy do you have to do, it won't be the same as the last time you came to my house, and you plan to give a knife of straw paper for five cents." ”

Everyone laughed quietly, and Qian Niangzi blushed and said angrily:

"You, what do you know, paper is used to write, can the things of saints be measured by money? Uncouth! ”

After saying this, Mrs. Qian glared at everyone and went back to her house.

The rest of the daughters-in-law said to their grandmother, "You have just arrived, I don't know her, she is like this, don't worry about it." ”

My grandmother answered, and said to everyone, "I will come in a few days, and I will inform you when the day is set." ”

After everyone finished greetings, my grandmother went to the house with the big white steamed buns.

The tasting in the evening was a great success, and the sweet stew was really the most suitable for the farmers who had little oil and water in their stomachs all year round; The fish balls are smooth and elastic, and they are so fresh that they are not like words; The dry-fried mutton has a heavy and novel taste, which has won unanimous praise from everyone; The two home-cooked dishes of pork liver and scrambled eggs are not suppressed in a big dish; The most surprising thing is the offering.

The white soup made of fish bones and lard is added with the flavor of mutton, and the fish and sheep are fresh, and the soup base can really fresh people's eyebrows. The rabbit meat is cut by Daddy Guo, who has been a hunter all year round, and the kung fu of this piece of meat is not bad, each piece of rabbit meat is thinly translucent, and it is scalded in the soup for a while. The pink rabbit meat, floating in the thick white soup, is really like a cloud.

After eating the meat slices, you can also blanch the vegetables again. Baby cabbage, Chinese cabbage, radish, bean sprouts, although there are not many greens in this season, they are all put on the plate, and they are placed on the table one by one, so that it looks like there are more than ten dishes. The deliciousness of the soup and the refreshing taste of the vegetables themselves complement each other, and after eating so many big dishes, a bowl of hot vegetables is very comfortable.

The form of eating while scalding is also very suitable for the literati's temperament of loving to talk and discuss, and as long as the fire is not extinguished in the end, it is hot, and everyone is sweating profusely. At the end, a big bowl of soup can warm up the whole day.

Hearing everyone's unanimous praise, Hu finally put his heart in his stomach. Everyone set the date again, and just three days later, Guo Mianmian went to inform them one by one and arranged things one by one.

When sending the Zhang brothers away, Guo Mianmian asked:

"Brother Sheng, where did you buy the fish you sent today, I've been running all over the market these days, and I haven't seen such a big fish."

"Sister Mian'er, where did we get the money to buy fish, this is what my brother caught in the river."

Guo Mianmian was shocked when she heard this, it was too dangerous to catch fish on such a cold day.

However, Daddy Guo knew it as soon as he heard it, and explained to Mianmian that it was not particularly dangerous, but he didn't make it clear, so he said that he would also take Guo Mianmian to fish tomorrow.

When Guo Mianmian heard it, he was so happy.

Guo Mianmian said that she wanted to go fishing in the river is not just talking, she has regarded fish balls as a kind of dish that students often serve, and they are cooked together with small green vegetables, which are innocent and will definitely please cultural people. And the dad who contributed the most to this dish was the mother, and the mother just needed to adjust the taste.

Since you can catch fish, of course, you can't let go of this cheap ingredient. It doesn't take a lot, about three catties of big fish is enough to sell it at home for a day or two, and I don't plan to make a lot of money anyway.

Genius is bright, and Daddy Guo took Guo Mianmian out. The morning was cold, and the breath immediately turned into white smoke, and the two didn't talk much along the way, for fear of eating the wind. Fortunately, Hu Shi knew that the two of them were going to go into the mountains to fish, so they prepared thick clothes, brought anti-wool rabbit buckets, covered their hands in it, and kept walking under their feet, but they were not frozen.

Father Guo pushed the cart like the wind, and Guo Mianmian sat on the car wrapped in a leather blanket. The village was not particularly far from the town, and it took more than an hour for the two of them to arrive.

The two brothers of the Zhang family waited for them at the foot of the mountain, put the car home, and a group of people hiked up the mountain. Guo Mianmian's family lives on the east side, and the river he is going to this time is on the west side of the mountain. The red glow shines on the pine and cypress, although it is already winter, it is also lush and green, the mountain is tall and magnificent, a mountain is wide and long, and the dragon-like winding stretches for dozens of miles.

The two of them came to the river, it had not snowed yet, and the river was still clear and flowing before it was frozen. As soon as Guo Lihu saw that the river had become shallower, he knew that the upper reaches of the mountain were frozen, and he didn't know how long the river could last.

Guo Orion has experience, and he found a good place after walking. The surface of the stream is very wide, and there are two trees growing around the upwind outlet, and the wind blowing towards the stream is broken, and the water does not flow so fast, and it is calmer to look at. The water was so clear that you could see a fish or two swimming in the water.

Seeing that the position was set, the Zhang brothers happily took out the fishing tools in the back basket, in addition to a fishing net and a fishing basket.

Guo Mianmian saw these things and asked, "Brother Sheng, Brother Quan, your things are really complete." ”

The two smiled sheepishly.

"There are many people in the family, and your sister-in-law is meticulous, so you have to catch more fish and go back to make up for the children. This thing is almost ready to go as soon as it comes and goes. ”

Guo Mianmian looked at the fish basket made of bamboo, and the craftsmanship looked familiar, so he said: "This fish basket looks like something made by my father." ”

"This is what Uncle Guo taught us back then. The cage is the easiest, as long as you find a good position, put the stone in the bamboo cage into the water, and after a day or two, the fish will come in by themselves, and then you can just pull the rope to take the bamboo cage back. ”

After Zhang Quan finished speaking, Zhang Sheng also added: "Yesterday, we got out of a cage here, and I'll bring it up for you to see." ”

"Okay, okay!"

While talking, Zhang Quan pulled up the bamboo cage that had been lowered a few days ago, but this time it was unlucky, there were no fish in it. didn't see the fish, Guo Mianmian was a little discouraged.

But Daddy Guo cheered her up: "What's this, look at Dad, I will definitely catch a big fish with you." ”

After Daddy Guo finished speaking, he commanded the Zhang brothers to pull the net.

"Brother Sheng'er is pulling up the fishing nets here, and Brother Quan is also pulling the fishing nets here, don't move. I'll try to catch fish in deep water, and I might be able to catch a net as I pass by. Father Guo said that he was about to do it, and Guo Mianmian was very worried when he watched from the sidelines. At this time, although the river flows very slowly, a thin layer of ice has been frozen in some places, and it is biting cold when you touch your fingers.

I saw Zhang Sheng jump on the raised phosphorite that Daddy Guo pointed out just now, pull the fishing net with one hand, and Zhang Quan also stood in place on the other side. Daddy Guo saw that there was no problem, so he and Zhang Quan began to "hit the water and scare the fish", looking for a place in deep water and throwing big stones, so as to startle the fish under the water, the time was almost up, let the two brothers of the Zhang family walk forward slowly, and Daddy Guo said that the net would be closed immediately when it was collected.

Guo Mianmian was surprised, "Wow! ”

The three of them cooperated several times, probably because of the lack of tacit understanding, and they failed to catch fish in the first few nets. But everyone was not discouraged, and the cold weather could not be without harvest, so they cast a few more nets before they saw the fish hit the net.

When Zhang Sheng was in a hurry to accept it, Father Guo's eyes were poisonous and stopped: "Wait a little longer." ”

Zhang Sheng was worried that the fish was running away, but it turned out that Jiang was still old and spicy. It's like a birdcage hanging in the middle of the forest, and it always attracts its kind, and whenever a fish runs this way, there are always fish coming after it.

"Okay, don't wait, close the net now."

I don't know how many companions this fish can attract, but when I pull the net, I feel heavy, and it looks like there is more than one fish. The Zhang brothers grasped the net in an orderly manner and gradually pulled, but they really saw the fish jumping in the net, shaking their tails and swinging back and forth.

"Daddy, you're a god." Guo Mianmian threw herself to the ground at the five-body body that Guo admired Daddy, looking at the more than ten fish in front of her, all of them were fat, and she couldn't close her mouth happily.

Father Guo threw away the small fish he had caught and looked at the remaining six big fish, "Let's just say that I will definitely catch a fish for you today." ”

"You can fight again." Gu Er learned to cast nets and fish, and he took the trouble to fish over and over again, and finally got a harvest.

Looking at the few fish that came up again, the two of them were very happy.

There are too many fish to eat, and it is not fresh and not delicious, Guo Mianmian has had enough of playing, so he said:

"Daddy, we caught a lot of fish, it's almost time to call it a day, it's too cold, you and Brother Zhang, Second Brother Zhang's pants are wet."

After everyone heard this, they also noticed that they were cold, and went back to the house at the foot of Guojia Mountain together. A total of eighteen big fish were harvested today, half of which were given to the Zhang brothers, and nine were brought back. Raised with water, you can eat for a long time, at least after a few days of warm house banquet don't worry.

After changing his clothes, Father Guo and Zhang Sheng took a cart of firewood, and then took Mianmian back to the town.

On the one hand, the Hu family's craftsmanship is good, and on the other hand, there should also be a credit to Guo Mianmian and Guo Lao's father's hard fishing, and the Guo family's warm house banquet was very successful and received praise from many neighbors.
