Chapter 102 Koi
Li Qing asked Yun Ji to take the fish back to his grandmother to wash and kill it first, and wait for himself to go back to make fish. She was also a good fish maker back then, and her best skill was sweet and sour fish.
There are no chili peppers here, and the best way to make sweet and sour fish is here.
"Mrs. Li's luck is really good, and the coming year will definitely be smooth." Wang Zhongjie praised on the side.
"I also wish Uncle Wang good luck."
Li Qing threw the fishing rod out, stuck it in the dirt, and sat on the dead grass.
Fishing from the river during the Spring Festival and taking it back to cook is a custom here. Li Qing had never heard of such a custom, and he thought it was very new.
Her luck was really good, as soon as the line with the bait was dropped, there were fish to eat.
Fish! It's never too much.
Li Qing pulled up the fishing rod, and the fish bit the hook tightly, and Li Qing easily caught it.
Fortunately, the people around are fishing seriously, trying to catch a big fish and go back to eat, the bigger the fish, the better the luck in the coming year, Li Qing threw the fish into the net in the water, and continued to fish.
His stupid baby hadn't come back yet, and Li Qing looked up.
The southwest in winter is very cold, the kind of chemical attack, the kind that is cold to the bones.
But it's okay today, God admires his face very much, revealing the warm sun that he hasn't seen for a long time. If it were in the past, there would have been fog this morning, and then within three feet, there would be no distinction between people and animals.
In just a while, Li Qing had already caught three fish. The one Yun Ji took back before was a carp, but now it's basically a crucian carp.
Occasionally, she saw a red shadow flashing in the river, and thought it must be a red carp.
Listening to the old people, there is a story of a carp jumping over the dragon gate here.
Legend has it that there is a red carp in the Guanyue River, who likes to jump out of the water to play and thinks that he is the best fish in the world. Suddenly, one day it jumped out of the water as usual, and saw a real dragon soaring in the sky.
The little carp returned home and asked his mother what the dragon was like. The mother fish told it that the dragon soars for nine days, and the flying dragon can go anywhere in the world, and live a free life, and we carp can fly into a dragon as long as we cross the dragon gate. Inspired by the mother fish, the little carp practises jumping day by day in an attempt to become a real dragon.
…… To put it bluntly, it is the story of the fish leaping into the dragon gate. And this story extends to the present day, whoever catches a red carp will be lucky.
A beautiful thought for people.
Li Qing thought that if she could really catch a red carp today, it would be really lucky.
"Mother, have you caught a fish?"
Yun Ji broke a branch and jumped to Li Qing's side. Li Qing got up and poured the fish in the net into the bucket and said, "How is it?" Li Qing pinched Yun and the fleshy little face.
"Humph!"
╭(╯^╰)╮
Yun Ji turned his face and sat down on the dry grass. Jiang was afraid that he would be cold, so he dressed him thickly. The clouds wrapped in balls shrank into a ball, like a bear.
"Ouch, Yun Ji is still angry? Shame, shame. Li Qing stretched out his hand and put his hand on Yun and Xiaoqiuqiu's shoulders and hugged him.
"Not really." Yunji saw that the buoys in the river began to pull, and the fishing line gradually straightened, and it was expected that the fish was coming.
"Mother, shhh Yun Ji knelt on the ground, slowly pulled out the fishing rod, and immediately lifted it, and a red carp came out at the end of the line.
Yun Ji pressed back the excitement in his heart, the fishing rod was raised, and the red carp, which kept struggling at the end of the fishing line, fell obediently on the shore, unable to run out of his palm.
"It's a red carp! Hahaha. Wang Zhongjie on the side laughed, "Congratulations, congratulations, good luck for the coming year, good luck!" ”
Wang Zhongjie was not quiet, as soon as he opened his mouth, the entire shore knew about it.
Everyone cast envious eyes, Yun Ji picked up the little red carp and held it in front of Li Qing.
"Mother, look at it." Yun Ji grinned.
"Our family is the most powerful." Li Qing touched Yun Ji and smiled slightly.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Let's go home and tell Grandma the good news."
"Uh-huh." Yun Ji put the fish in the bucket, said goodbye to his neighbor Wang Zhongjie, and the two went home together.
There is a jar under the eaves, and Li Qing planted lotus root in it, but no one can escape the ruins of winter, and now this is a good place for fish.
"Yo, we did show off in front of those people this year, just for the red carp in Chinese New Year's Eve, and our waist pole is straighter than others." Jiang Shi looked at the red carp in the tank who was at a loss because of the change of environment. The smile in her eyes couldn't be suppressed, and she grinned with Yun Ji.
Everyone is hopeful for the coming year.
……
"What's the name?" Yun Ji sat on a small bench with his chin propped up, staring at the fish in the tank.
Li Qing and Jiang were busy in the kitchen, and the smoke of cooking rose from every house.
"My mother calls me Xiaobai, is it okay for you to call Xiaohong?" Yun Ji thought about it, Xiaohong's name is weird, let's change it.
"Call ......"
"Xiaobai has eaten." Li Qing brought the sweet and sour fish and put it on the table.
The aroma of sugar and vinegar burst out and spread to Yun Ji's nose, and his mouth was sour.
"It smells so good, what is this?" Yun Ji sat obediently around the table, but the chopsticks were not used.
"Sweet and sour fish."
Li Qing stood aside and told Yun Ji about the production process of this fish, "First fry the fish, then pour the juice on it, and you can eat it." ”
This dish can be put in the restaurant, but it can't be made whole, it can only be cut into pieces, and in the final analysis, the consumption power is limited.
After Jiang was on the table, Li Qing sat down and divided the chopsticks. Jiang first sandwiched a chopstick dish, and after eating, the two juniors moved the chopsticks.
Yun Ji couldn't wait to reach for the fish.
"Sweet and sour, good taste."
The New Year's dinner was eaten when it was almost dark, and the three of them faced a large table of dishes. Li Qing took out the fruit wine that had been treasured for many years and poured a glass for himself and Jiang. As for the clouds, they can only look through it.
"Grandma, can't I drink it?" Yun Ji's longing eyes looked at Jiang.
Before Jiang could answer, Li Qing preemptively said: "This is wine, you can't drink it yet, you will become stupid if you drink, it's stupid enough......"
"What did you say? Our home cloud and can be smart tight. Jiang Shi replied.
"Is that not it?" Cloud and homeopathic emphasis.
"Poof." Li Qing almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, she picked up a crockpot from the side and poured a bowl of soup for Yun Ji.
"I knew that our poor family was going to make a fuss, so I boiled sweet soup for you."
"That's pretty much it." Yun Ji muttered a sip and slipped sweetly into his heart.
Stupid mother, don't you know that I have a killer feature like grandma?
I can't stop you, but grandma can. As long as the mother is fierce and her grandmother is fierce, she immediately looks like a bear. Yun Ji thought darkly.
