When she got home, Zhao Yu hurriedly beckoned a few small ones to carry the back basket containing the green shrimp to the well, while she herself carried the wooden basin, which contained the freshly scooped water, and poured all the green shrimp in the back basket into the basin.

Whoa—

Green shrimp crowded the wooden basins, and spilled water stains everywhere.

"Don't go yet, help me pick out the chicken food greens that don't move in the pot," Zhao Yu said of the dead green shrimp.

"Well, just throw it here and give it to the chickens."

Zhao Yu took out another basin and put it next to it.

"Do it well, and then you will get half more of the jujube cake."

Afraid that a few people would be fooled, Zhao Yu mentioned another reward by the way.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that there was jujube cake to eat, Zhao Xia's eyes lit up, and they hurried to the side of the wooden basin to pick and choose, looking much more serious than before.

Zhao Yu looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and went to the kitchen, she planned to take some salt and use it.

These prawns have just been caught out of the river, and they are very dirty, and they must be cleaned up before they can be used as fish sauce.

There are many ways to treat green shrimp, but the simplest way to deal with it is to soak the live green shrimp in salt water or cooking oil for a period of time, so that it can be discharged from the body, and it can be cleaned with clean water.

Edible oil doesn't need to be thought about, oil is expensive, and their family is already difficult to eat oil, and the Li family will not agree to her taking oil to such a scourge.

So she only has the only way to go now.

When Zhao Yu came in, Yuan and Liu were cooking and cooking for the other, and they were busy.

Raising his eyes and seeing Zhao Yu coming, Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Erya, quickly help my mother fill the fire." ”

Zhao Yu looked at it, and it turned out that the flames under the stove on her mother's side were about to be extinguished.

didn't think much about it at the moment, she rushed over directly, hurriedly filled two handfuls of firewood into it, blew and fanned at the mouth of the stove, and tried hard to save the fire.

"Okay, it's okay," Yuan finally got his hands free at this time and took over the work of Zhao Yu's stove, "What are you doing in the kitchen?" ”

Zhao Yu pointed to the back cupboard, "I'll get the salt." ”

Yuan Shi looked up at the back cabinet with a surprised expression, "Your grandmother knows?" ”

Kitchen items cannot be easily touched unless there is permission from Lee.

"Yes."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but think back to her conversation with her milk, and nodded affirmatively, that's it.

Yuan Shi was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Go and go, take it and leave quickly." ”

The kitchen is a smoky and burning floor, and it's not easy to treat.

Zhao Yu didn't want to stay longer, so he answered and ran to the back cupboard.

In the back cabinet through the grass curtain, there was a sudden sound of ping-pong.

Yuan's ......

The straw mat was lifted, revealing Zhao Yu's face like a little flower cat.

Zhao Yu, who was holding salt in his hand, ran out like a gust of wind in Yuan's astonished sight.

"This kid ......"

Yuan shook his head speechlessly and continued to add fire to cooking.

……

When Zhao Yu returned to the well, she saw Zhao Xia and the others looking at her expectantly and longingly.

I glanced at the green shrimp that had been picked and placed neatly in two pots.

Zhao Yu simply threw the salt in her hand into the wooden basin, and then, with a wave of her hand, she greeted a few children, and rushed directly into her hut with people.

Child labour is also waged.

Zhao Yu didn't think about repaying the debt, after all, if she didn't keep her word, then no one would help her next time.

Taking out his key from under an adobe brick in the corner of the house, Zhao Yu opened his small wooden box and took out all the jujube cakes he had saved yesterday.

There are eight children in the family, except for Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Dongxue, the remaining six villains are all there.

After removing himself and counting the remaining number of people, Zhao Yu set aside the corresponding number of jujube cakes, and put the remaining jujube cakes back in the small wooden box and locked them.

Those who were left by her were divided one by one according to the amount she had promised before.

After getting the pastries they had in mind, the children cheered and dispersed in a hurry.

Zhao Yu finally left, and before leaving, she thought that it might not be enough for the shrimp to soak in salt water, and took out the simple brush she had just made yesterday.

This brush, which she got from grinding her mother, was intended to be used to clean her teeth.

As a result, who knew that the pig hair at home was too hard, and she had a toothache when she brushed it, and she was ruthlessly abandoned by her just after brushing it once.

I didn't think about it, but now this brush is in use.

Zhao Yu carried the brush and came to the well.

Finding a place to sit down, she began to lower her head and pull up the green shrimp in the wooden basin, turning them all over in turn, and when she saw some dirty green shrimp, she grabbed them and pinched them, and then used the brush to start brushing the abdomen.

Don't replace the next one until you've brushed the dirty surfaces clean.

She was busy for a while, until she couldn't find such a green shrimp again, and then she stopped working.

Well, looking at the green shrimp in the wooden basin, she scratched her head, almost, that's it.

It seems that the cleaning of the green shrimp is nothing.

Zhao Yu recalled the extra memories in his head, those who cut the shrimp head, cut the shrimp tail, squeezed the shrimp intestines, and removed the shrimp line, all of which were follow-up operations after cleaning.

Well, nodding affirmatively, it's good to clean up the shrimp like this for now.

………

Lunch was served in the kitchen.

There were dishes and chopsticks in front of everyone, sitting around a small square table, all waiting for the Li family to start eating.

Liu, as the eldest daughter-in-law, went to invite in person, but Li did not come.

"Mother doesn't eat it, let's eat first."

As he spoke, Liu Shi did not forget to reach out and take out some food, which was made by Li and needed to be sent to the main house alone.

Cheng asked, "Sister-in-law, did my mother say when she would work in the afternoon?" ”

Liu Shi took the food and shook his head, "My mother didn't say it." ”

Liu knew that Cheng wanted to go down to the river to fish with them.

"Third brother and sister, if you want to go, I'll help you ask."

Right now, she was going to deliver food to the Li family, but she didn't mind helping to ask a word and sell a good one.

"Then, then it's troublesome sister-in-law."

Cheng smiled at Liu a little embarrassedly, saying that the two of them were still arguing yesterday.

Now it's time to ask someone to do something.

Because of embarrassment, Cheng turned his head uncomfortably as soon as he finished speaking, and touched his big belly back and forth with one hand, and he didn't speak.

She really doesn't want to stay at home, the family is busy, far from being as easy as she thinks, she doesn't get any benefits and is easy to be jealous, she doesn't go down to the river to catch fish.

"Hey, what's this," Liu said, waving his hand, unconcerned, "and wait for me to come back." ”

When Liu came back, he brought the news that the family had gone to work at three o'clock this afternoon.

At the same time, Cheng wanted to follow the matter of fishing in the river, and Li agreed.

At the same time, several women in the family have to go down to the river to fish today.

Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and even his stomach that felt pressed before was much more relaxed.

The dishes and chopsticks in my hands are also more diligent.

……

When Li came out of the house, his face was not very good-looking.

In his hand, he held the dishes and chopsticks that had been eaten clean, and put them on the dining table.

"Let's fish this afternoon, and the little ones will stay home."

Liu wanted to take his two daughters with him, so he deliberately rushed to follow after Li's words and said,

"Mother, the eldest girl and the third girl will follow, and they can also help support the fish bucket, which is also easier."

Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then the big girl and the third girl will take it." ”

"Mother, I, I'm heavy, I have to take four girls with me."

Cheng's expression was shy, and his voice was a little small.

"Well," Li agreed, and finally looked at Yuan, who didn't say anything, "The second one, what about you?" ”

Yuan shook his head, "Mother, I don't need to, I'll do it alone." ”

Yuan's is not as good as Liu's Cheng's, she has strong bones, works fast and neatly, but she doesn't need the help of the children at home.

"Okay, Erya, you take your younger brothers and sisters at home, take a good look at the dried fish at home, don't run around and cause trouble."

Li looked at Zhao Yu, among the children who stayed at home, Zhao Yu was the oldest, and Li naturally wanted to ask more.

Zhao Yu nodded and said that he understood.

"It's nothing, clean up, go back to the house and sleep, and get up and work then."

After Li finished speaking, he went out again.

Zhao Yu glanced out twice, thinking of the green shrimp he was soaking, and quickly jumped off the dining table and chased out, "Milk, milk,"

"What's wrong?" Lee stopped and turned back.

"Milk, I want to use the kitchen." Zhao Yu looked up at Li and said what he thought.

"No," Li Shi refused directly without thinking about it, "You don't have a lot of Huo Huo kitchen." ”

There are a lot of things in the kitchen, and everything related to eating is expensive, so where is the Li family willing to let Zhao Yu do it.

"Then I'm going to go into the backyard vegetable garden," Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and said, "To make shrimp paste, I must use some wild vegetables, and I have to prepare them in advance." ”

Zhao Yu retreated and directly changed the target.

Li Shi didn't say no no this time, she lowered her head and thought about it, and nodded, "Okay, but you can only move the southeast and northeast corners, not other places." ”

The southeast and northeast corners are mostly wild vegetables, and Zhao Yu is not distressed by her.

But everywhere else, all the vegetables are grown, and they are all seeds that are bought with money, but they can't do it.

Zhao Yu was speechless, her milk was really worried about her.

"Uh-huh, I see."

Zhao Yu nodded in response to Li's words, even if her heart was full of complaints, she also knew that this was the best result.

She is young, and her grandmother will not let her do it herself.

And to make shrimp paste, the main ingredient is these green shrimp, although there are other things, but there are not many.

What's more, even if she really picks up the vegetables at home, what can her grandmother say!

Zhao Yu: It's all done, accept your fate!
