Chapter 116 The Lucky Peasant Girl is a group pet 8
The Chu family, who tasted the sweetness, sent a few older children in the family to catch crayfish in the ditch with buckets the next day, because the adults repeatedly ordered that the little sister could not be tired, so they didn't even bring a fishing rod today.
The third brother secretly stuffed a handful of berries, the bright red juice was full, in the countryside, the spring and autumn seasons ate the most, although they are not hungry things, but they are all things that children like, especially berries, Chu Ci likes to eat the most.
Sitting on the clean stones of the stream, eating the slightly green sweet fruits, Chu Ci's mood was very high, and when she lowered her head, she inadvertently glanced at it, and saw that there seemed to be something moving in the stream.
"Big brother, there are crabs in the water"
When Chu Ya heard this, the crayfish didn't care about it, and hurriedly ran over, crabs, autumn was originally the time to eat crabs, although Chu Ya preferred to eat sea crabs in modern times, but now there are no sea crabs, rivers, and crabs are also very good, and you don't need to cook it when you turn around, just put it in a big pot and steam it to ensure that it is fresh and delicious.
Chu Qingyong glanced at the little crab that was caught in Sanniu's hand, and said disdainfully, "This thing has no meat, the shell is still hard, and it has teeth, so it has an umami taste in the stewed soup, and I didn't eat it."
The crab that was unavoidable in her eyes was actually evaluated by Chu Qingyong, and Chu Ya rarely replied, "Then wait for me to go back and do it, second brother, don't eat it."
"If you don't eat, you won't eat" Chu Qingyong was taken aback by the second brother, the family in the second room had always shouted that they were all shouting by name and surname, and suddenly a sentence of second brother appeared, which was strange and scary.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, catch crabs"
"Little sister, sit still, brothers will catch you, this thing is a card hand"
As soon as Chu Ci spoke, no matter how bad this thing was, she had to bring it back, even if the three brothers disdained to eat the river, Chu Qingyong, who was a crab, got started together, grabbed a quasi-child, and after a while, more than half of it was filled in the big back basket.
The crabs on the side of the stream are big, each weighing half a catty, three or five can cook a big pot of soup, the three brothers originally thought that it would be enough to catch more than a ten, but every time, when they put the newly caught crabs into the big back basket, they can always see the little sister's encouraging eyes, give them a shouting little fist, and they are full of energy.
As a result, if I was not careful, I caught most of the crabs in the basket.
Chu Ya looked at the four baskets of goods in front of her, and laughed happily, yesterday, she worked hard all afternoon, only caught a plate of crayfish, and now there are many people with great strength, and she has caught four baskets of barrels, and now she has thought of a lot of fried crayfish, river, crab soup, braised river, crab, etc., and there will be a crab feast tonight.
After returning home, under the influence of Chu Ci, the third aunt who cooked gave up the position of the spoon, and Chu Ya used her chef skills to steam crabs, braised crabs with mashed potatoes, stir-fried crayfish, crayfish with garlic, and a big bowl of crab and cabbage soup.
"Tsk, what a fragrant taste"
"Coo-" Smelling such an enticing smell, the Chu family cooed hungrily.
"Why are the three girls so fragrant?"
"I can't wait to eat it"
A large table of dishes, the quantity is full, Rao is short of oil and salt, but the taste is much better than the porridge and cabbage in the past, Chu Ya ate a round belly for the first time, remembering that when she was cooking, the old lady looked at her painful expression when she used the seasoning, and she was suddenly happy.
This meal, not only Chu Ya ate it, but the Chu family at the dinner table ate it, and even Chu Ci, who usually only eats eight points full, couldn't help but burp.
There is still more than half of the crab and crayfish that Rao caught in this way, and this thing is not resistant to being put in the bucket, and it stinks after it dies, what a pity.
"Milk, it's a pity that the remaining crayfish and crabs are left, why don't we make shrimp dumplings and go to the town to buy them," Chu Ya said under great pressure.
"How to make shrimp dumplings?" Mrs. Chu opened her mouth under the watchful eye of everyone, and did not deny it completely, which was enough to make Chu Ya excited, "You need flour, oil and seasonings, you also need to pick out the lobster meat, and the crab meat also needs to be picked out."
Pick out the shrimp meat and chop it, add green onions, ginger and vegetables, and then adjust the taste, wrap it in dumpling skin, this is a cumbersome project, she has to work alone until the year of the monkey.
"No one wants this thing in the ditch, is anyone buying shrimp dumplings? If you mess up, how many good things will be wasted" In the past, Sanniu's cooking skills were like that, and her family could eat it, and she went out to buy it, but no one necessarily bought it.
Chu Ci opened his mouth and said, "Milk, I think it's okay, let the third sister try it."
Chu Ya didn't expect the table to be full of people, and the first one to speak for her was actually Chu Ci, who was a little moved at the moment, "I will definitely be able to do it, but I still need a stove, and the shrimp dumplings are cooked in the town to be delicious."
Mrs. Chu thought for a while, now that the work in the field is done, there is nothing to do, and she is going to catch up with the market tomorrow, so let Sanniu try it.
Chu Ya got the consent of the family, and immediately spread out the shop, picking crayfish meat on one side, picking crab shells on the other side, under her command, the family took their places, and the preliminary work preparations were very smooth.
The next day, the Chu family got up early in the morning, and after Mrs. Chu locked the door, the group walked to the town in a mighty way.
Because tomorrow I am going to go to the village of ethnography, the family is going to the town to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the group arrived in the town, because today is the market, Mrs. Chu took Chu Ci's hand, went directly to the left, and came to a very lively street.
People come and go here, most of them are ordinary people dressed in sackcloth, some sell steamed buns, some sell along the street, full of life and fireworks.
There are many stalls on both sides, the things sold here are not only varied, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, very close to the people, naturally it is something that ordinary people can afford, the shrimp dumpling stall is handed over to Liu Cuiniang, Tian's, Zhou's to deal with, Chu Ya is responsible for sales, Chu Lao Er and Chu Lao San are responsible for watching the stove.
Mrs. Chu put some sun-dried mushrooms, a basket made of wicker on the ground, and Chu Ci's eggs, waiting for passers-by to pick them up.
Just as the adults were making preparations, Chu Ya mysteriously opened his small package, only to see that it contained a grasshopper and dragonfly turned from wheat straw, which was very vivid.
"Good-looking grasshoppers and dragonflies, don't miss them when you pass by," Chu Ya held with both hands and shouted at pedestrians on the street, especially those with children.
Fresh things, after a while, attracted two or three guests, grasshoppers sell for five cents, not expensive, it is a child's toy, but Chu Ya's eloquence is good, at first it sells five cents, and it slowly rises to ten cents, but the business is very good, and the copper plate of Ding Ding Dong enters the pocket of the three girls.
The stall was set up, the fire on the stove was strong, the hot soup was fragrant, the shrimp dumplings were white and clean in the pot and rolled around, served in the bowl, the first bowl, seeing that no one came, Chu Ya gave the bowl to Chu Ci and instructed, "You just sit here and eat, how delicious and how to eat, how to eat deliciously, how to eat"
Chu Ci was slightly embarrassed, and she also played the role of a mascot, but she didn't refuse, to be honest, the things made by Chu Ya were really delicious.
The white and tender little girl sat on the stall, eating shrimp dumplings in small bites, and the passers-by were dazzled by the happy smile on her face, and unconsciously came to the stall.
"How much does a bowl of shrimp dumplings cost?"
Before the Chu family could speak, Chu Ya immediately put on a formulaic smile and responded, "Hello guest officer, our shrimp dumplings are divided into two flavors, one is green onion shrimp dumplings, and the other is garlic shrimp dumplings, both of which are thirty lines of money, what do you want?" ”
"Bring me a bowl of that little girl's food" The middle-aged man saw that the clothes were not bad, the original price was about twenty-five yuan, and the Chu family planned to reduce the price if they couldn't sell it, but they were stunned by Chu Ya's price increase, for fear that the first guest would run away, but she really let her talk about it.
With the first guest, there is a second guest, plus Chu Ya's mouth is sweet and can speak, basically everyone who came to ask the price ate a bowl before leaving, and in just one and a half hours, the shrimp dumplings that were wrapped overnight yesterday were actually sold out.
Even the business of Mrs. Chu next to her is much better, and the family is closing the stall.
"Let's go, dad will take you to go shopping" Chu Dashan thought that there was still time, so he picked up Chu Ci and walked over from the side of the road with the three children.
It is said that it is a walk, that is, on this street, the sound of selling is endless, many things are not said, I have never heard of it, and a pair of eyes seems to be not enough.
Soon arrived at the bookstore, there was a pot of orchids on the cabinet at the door, the bookstore was very clean, the bookcase was full of dense books, and the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a beard, as soon as he saw the clothes of the Chu family, he knew that they should be farmers.
"Officer, what do you need to buy?"
Chu Dashan hugged his daughter, and the three elder brothers behind him rarely came to such a place, staring at the screen of Meilan Zhuju inside for a while, and his eyes couldn't move.
"A few of my boys are going to school this year, and Mr. Lao Fu will prepare some things for them" Chu Dashan also came here when he was a child and followed his father to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and after a while, it was his turn to buy it for his son, and he was a little emotional.
"The guest officer, please" The shopkeeper invited people to the cubicle inside, and took out a somewhat rough paper mold, "This knife paper has been stored in the store for a long time, although it is not fine, but it is enough for beginners to learn to write, a knife 500 chapters, only need to use 400 money"
In the end, Chu Dashan bought five knives of paper, five pens, and some fragmentary inkstones and ink blocks, which cost two taels of silver at once, Chu Ci gasped, no wonder it was said that in ancient times, the strength of the family was for a scholar, which was too much silver.
The three brothers of the Chu family were excited all the way because they got something, but Chu Ci thought that his chicken farm should be injected with some fresh blood.
After leaving the bookstore, Chu Ci took out a small purse and handed it to his father to "buy chickens"
Chu Dashan took the purse and weighed it, yo, my daughter has taken out all her private money.
