Chapter 401: The Fish That Don't Wait to See
The golden pavilion dog was outside the door, and after thinking about it, he still touched the kitchen, staring at the cooking mother-in-law preparing food for the two main owners.
The cooking lady talks a lot, and when she doesn't talk when she is working, she feels that something is missing.
Seeing him sit in front of the stove, the kitchen knife in her hand rose and fell, and the words in her mouth popped out with the dodo, mentioning her morning fish purchase.
"I've never seen anything so fat, I can't hold it with both hands."
As she spoke, she also gave her free hand to compare the thickness of the bowl, which was as big as the mouth of the bowl.
Jin Ting heard her always say that fish are fat and strong, but she never got to the point, so she copied a wooden stick and knocked it on the stove.
"Get down to business."
Mother-in-law Yaoyao: "The third aunt who cooks like me at the door, she told me that she ran to several families in the morning to sell fish......
"Don't you run errands and wait for money to fall from the sky?"
Jin Ting felt that it was quite difficult to listen to her mother-in-law, so she urged her to quickly scrape the fish scales and salt them.
The mother-in-law moved the knife again, "The fish seller this morning is different, he ran to a big family, before selling to our house, the third aunt and her man passed by the Li Mansion and saw the fish seller squeezing in through the back door." ”
Hearing that something was wrong with the process, Jin Ting hurriedly stopped the cooking mother-in-law, lest she run away again, "When you bought fish, what did people ask you?" ”
"If you can ask us anything, just ask Mrs. Gongzi if she likes to eat fish, and what kind of food she likes, and he will go to the river to catch it and send it over another day."
The mother-in-law is also a shrewd person, and the fish seller talked with her and the third aunt for a long time, and asked a lot of inconsequential words, and asked this sentence in the middle, but she remembered it very well.
Jin Ting asked, and she only picked this one sentence and said.
"You did a good job, I'll tell my wife when I go back, and I'll get a reward."
After saying that, Jin Ting didn't stay behind to guard her cooking, and left with her clothes.
The mother-in-law's face was full of laughter, and the golden steward had always been a good talker, and he said that the lady wanted to reward her, and she definitely didn't run, humming a little song and grabbing a handful of salt and pasting it on the fish.
"Childe, ma'am......"
Jin Ting crossed the threshold with his front feet, as if he was stepping on a brazier, and jumped back with his eyes covered.
He stood in front of the door for a while, and Xu Yuan came out while buttoning his buttons, and although he tried his best to smooth his clothes, there were still wrinkles visible to the naked eye.
He wanted to say that he hadn't seen anything, but after thinking about it, he said that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, so he simply shut up and didn't speak.
Xu Yuan glanced back.
Ruan Miaoling had already re-knotted her loose belt and glared at him.
Only then did he turn his head and ask Jin Ting if his house was on fire and it was worth his shouting.
Jin Ting wanted to refute himself but didn't shout, thinking that he was still in a situation of waiting to be checked, he followed Xu Yuan's intention and said that he was wrong, although he was not on fire, but it was almost over.
After sorting out the words of the mother-in-law, they were all spoken.
Ruan Miaoling walked to the door, stood behind Xu Yuan and asked, "That person has been coming a lot lately?" ”
Jin Ting said it was the first time.
If they have been in contact for a long time, the mother-in-law will not mention this matter to him.
Xu Yuan said: "Then you will be guarding the back door tomorrow morning, and when he comes back, you will listen to what he wants to explore." ”
Jin Ting patted his head when he heard it, it was broken.
Returning to the kitchen from the main courtyard, the cooking lady was about to throw the fish into the pot with a plate, and Jin Ting rushed over and grabbed it.
"You're going to scare people to death!"
"This fish can't be eaten, did you just smear the salt on the fish with your bare hands?"
The mother-in-law nodded, don't you use your hands to wipe salt, do you use your feet?
How smelly the steamed fish is.
Jin Ting threw the fish and the tray into the swill bucket, and pushed the mother-in-law to the well, "Wash it clean, and use more soap." ”
The mother-in-law scolded him for being sick, so why waste fish in a good manner.
But she still squatted by the well, stared at by Jin Ting, not to mention washing her hands eight times, and the skin was about to be rubbed off.
"Does the third aunt know the fish seller?" Jin Ting leaned on a wooden stake by the well and asked casually.
The mother-in-law poured her face by the way and muttered, "I probably know." ”
Even if the third aunt doesn't know her, her man must have seen people, and it is not impossible to find the family.
Jin Ting said: "You decorate the dry goods for a while, talk to the third aunt, ask her to find the fish seller, and say that we will have fish tomorrow." ”
"Didn't you just fall, and this time again?"
"I can tell you, when I was talking to the third aunt, I couldn't reveal a word about the fish. As soon as tomorrow passes, I will give you today's reward together. ”

Hui'er sat on the threshold of her house, and her mother, Mrs. Hao, was busy in the kitchen, and glanced at her from time to time, knowing that she was sitting there obediently and didn't run, so she didn't call her back.
"Mother, I want a maid ......"
Hui'er turned her head and shouted to Mrs. Hao with a frown.
Before Mrs. Hao could reply to her, she raised her eyes and saw Hao Tingmei carrying things to the door.
Sensing that someone was there, Hui'er turned around and saw that it was her father, and her little face immediately smiled, bouncing up and pounced.
"I'll hug it later, Daddy is carrying something."
Hao Tingmei shook a live fish that was still panting in front of Hui'er's eyes.
Hui'er took two steps back, was stunned by the fish's eyes, and was about to call her mother, and Mrs. Hao came behind her.
"Where did you buy the fish?"
Hao Tingmei pushed away Mrs. Hao's hand that stretched out to catch the fish, "I don't need money, it was given by Lord Shoufu, everyone in the duty compound has it, and I am the fattest." ”
As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Hao hugged Hui'er in and closed the door with her backhand, "He sent it, do you dare to eat it?" ”
Hui'er saw that the fish was fat and strong, her eyes were wide, her body was still fluttering, and she hugged Mrs. Hao's waist tightly, "Don't eat, Hui'er won't eat." ”
Originally, Hao Tingmei didn't plan to let the family eat, so she pulled out a basin from the kitchen door, threw the fish into it, and poured a bucket of water over the basin.
The fat fish suddenly swam away inside.
"Play for Hui'er, wait for death, find a place to bury it." He pulled Hui'er over to prevent her from touching the fish's body directly, and found a small wooden stick, "If you want to play, poke it." ”
The two husbands and wives were talking in the kitchen, Mrs. Hao was busy with her work, and Hao Tingmei was on the side at any time.
"Now that Master Li has been promoted, why are you and Brother Ren and Brother Shi still staying in the Ministry of Rites?"
Hao Tingmei asked with a smile: "Do you want me to be promoted?" ”
"Who would be suspicious of being an official...... Mrs. Hao looked away at Hui'er, and said: "I don't want you to be promoted, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, I am willing to go back to the countryside to farm, as long as you are safe." ”
Hao Tingmei sighed: "It's come to this point, how can I stop when I say stop, Brother Ren and Brother Shi also need me to watch, I really leave the capital to farm, and I don't feel sure." ”
This kind of thing, every year, the two husbands and wives have to bring it up and talk about it, and in the end there is no conclusion.
The general picture is to be able to give the other party a reminder.
The fat fish swam happily in the water, and Hui'er took the stick and left it alone, ran to the flower garden to play, and in a short time dug a pit the same size as the fish's body.
