Chapter 9: Showing a Hand
When Anxi Anjiao returned home, she locked the gate in the yard.
Then he took out a slightly larger wooden basin from the house, filled it with some water, and put all six fish in the basket into it.
When the water-starved fish met the water, it suddenly came alive, and a pair of fish tails swung around.
And the water that every household in the village drinks is the river water, which is cool and sweet.
For the fish, the water is still the same water, but the environment has changed, and the activity space is much narrower.
Looking at the six two or three catties of fish, An Xi smiled, you can eat some meat tonight.
"Let's go, let's catch a fish and give it to Aunt Wu next door."
Through that Anxi, Anxi knew that they had no father, they were forced to split up, and they were bullied, and the village chief just turned a blind eye, and only Aunt Wu's family next door treated them kindly.
From time to time, I will give some fruits and vegetables to their families, and this gratitude will be remembered by Anxi.
Six fish is a bit much, Anxi caught two big fish, and the tail of the fish flicked and flicked, but he couldn't shake out Anxi's claws.
"Knock Knock"
"Is Aunt Wu at home? Aunt Wu? ”
"It's coming, wait,"
Aunt Wu, who was cooking in the house, wiped her hands on her body, and then went out to open the door for Anxi.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Aunt Wu opened the door, she saw a face with a big smile, as well as two fish in An Xi's hand.
"What is this?"
"Aunt Wu, this is the fish that my mother asked me to get for you, thanks to the care of your family on weekdays, I caught a few fish today, so I will give you two for my aunt."
"No, the pillar is also a long body, you should eat more."
Zhu Zi is Aunt Wu's son and Aunt Wu's only son!
Aunt Wu had a difficult birth when she gave birth to a pillar, although the mother and child were safe in the end, but in the end, it was difficult to have an heir.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Aunt Wu feels that the eight-year-old Anxi is a little too mature.
However, I thought that An Xi was so well-behaved and sensible before, but I just thought that An Jia Erlang died, leaving behind such four orphans and widows.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that Anxi is so steady.
Aunt Wu smiled at An Xi.
"You don't need two fish, two fish is a lot."
Aunt Wu smiled and pushed off a fish, and was pushed back by An Xi.
"Aunt Wu, there are not many two fish, Uncle Wu also loves to eat, I still have fish at home, you can accept it with confidence."
"It's really not much, I caught six fish today, and I kept four at home, Aunt Wu, you can rest assured to accept it."
"Then Aunt Wu will accept it, the brook girl is sensible, wait a minute, Auntie, Auntie will bring you some melons"
"Holo"
After a while, Aunt Wu put a few cucumbers and a few red peppers into An Xi's hands.
smiled and said, "Chop the red pepper and mix the cucumber, and add a little vinegar It will be delicious, Xi girl, you go back and try it"
"Aunt Xie Wu, I know, then I'll go back to my aunt first."
"Let's go back."
Anxi went back with a cucumber and pepper in his arms, and it was time to cook.
Immediately, An Xi reached into the wooden basin with one hand and pinched a fish out.
"It's okay to cook for Ah Niang and my brother with my sister?"
"Can I help too?"
"Yes."
For Anxi, who has cooking skills, killing fish and scraping scales and cooking fish soup are all easy things!
"It's okay to help my sister wash this melon and pepper."
"Good"
The small body carried a few melons and squatted in front of the basin with a brisk pace.
Throwing melons and chili peppers into the basin, An Jiao's little hands rubbed and rubbed, very serious and careful.
An Xi shook her head while looking at it, this little girl, why is she so cute.
An Jiao was washing vegetables, and An Xi was not idle, after killing and scraping the fish, he put it in the boiling water in the pot and boiled it.
The lid of the pot was tightly covered, and some wood was added under the stove to make the fire in the stove burn more violently.
Peeled the ginger casually, and after a few strokes, the oval ginger became a slender and long silk.
Anxi put the ginger shreds away and cut some chopped green onions.
And then according to the existing seasoning in this home...
Well, in fact, it's only salt...
It's a little harder...
By the way, you can ask Aunt Wu to borrow some soy sauce, I don't know if Aunt Wu's family has it, but how do you know if you don't ask?
"Hello, after the dishes are washed, help my sister go to Aunt Wu's house to borrow some soy sauce, okay?"
"Okay, sister, I've washed the dishes cleanly, I'll go borrow soy sauce for you now!"
An Xi looked at her sister with a smile, she must show her hand to her today and make a table of delicious food!
If only there was wine, alas, we must accept our fate, and now we can only settle for it.
After a while, An Jiao came over with a small bottle of soy sauce.
"Sister, Aunt Wu said that this soy sauce poured fish is delicious!"
"Well, my sister is making it for you."
"Hee-hee-hee"
The little girl didn't go away, just stared at Anxi for a while.
Anxi is planning to make a simple and low-profile version of boiled fish this time, but fortunately, with the combination of soy sauce, green onions, ginger, salt, and red peppers, this boiled fish barely has the appearance of boiled fish!
"My sister is so fragrant."
Xiao Anjiao shook her nose and sniffed.
"Wow, it's really fragrant, sister, when will you cook fish, it feels more fragrant than my brother and mother."
That's not it, An Xi thought to herself, she is also a gourmet, okay, this fish should not only be fishy and fresh, but also tasteful.
She can master it 100%, but this lack of seasoning is a little difficult for her.
If only those seasonings were all in her previous life, then she would definitely be able to make super delicious boiled fish, and she would definitely let her brother and mother, Xiao Anjiao even want to swallow it with her tongue after eating it.
Hey, hey, the imagination is very beautiful, the reality, Anxi always believes that she struggles with her hard-working hands, and she seems to be hanging on to the super-first-class level.
She believed that the family would become rich.
It doesn't seem bad to think about it this way, self-made, hey, hey, she's also the so-called founding generation in the legend.
I feel so happy and proud when I think about it.
On the other side, the mother and son, who had been busy all afternoon, finally rushed back before the moon dwelled in the sky.
As soon as the two of them walked into the house, they smelled a good smell.
"Mother, this is our home?"
An Yi and Mo Shi looked back at each other, both shook their heads, and nodded again.
An Yi took the lead and said, "Mother, that's right, this is the door of our house, and next door is Aunt Wu's house." ”
"It's just that I wonder when did our house have this scent?"
"Go in and you'll know."
Mohs was also a little confused, but more curious.
The two pushed open the door, both dumbfounded.
"Mother, brother, you're back, this is the boiled fish made by my sister, it's so fragrant, come in and eat."
When I looked up, I saw the two people in front of the door, and I smiled very happily.
"This, this, this is all made by Xixi?"
"That's right, it's all made by my sister, mother, isn't it very fragrant, my sister said that this dish is called boiled fish."
An Xi, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the voices of Mo's, An Yi and An Jiao, and hurriedly ran out.
smiled and said, "Mother, brother is back, hurry up and come in and wash your hands and eat." ”
Mo and An Yi are still in a state of confusion and confusion.
Mo blurted out and asked.
"Where did this fish come from?"
An Jiao hurriedly replied excitedly.
"This is the fish that my sister caught with her, and today my sister cut bamboo and made something like that, it seems to be something called a fishing rod."
"And the iron hooks, and the wire, and the earthworms, and throw them into the river."
"Then the fish came up, and then they caught six fish......
Before An Xi could speak, Xiao An Jiao happily shared everything she had done with An Xi today to Mo Shi and An Yi.
What a child, Anxi couldn't cry or laugh.
