Chapter 31: Show off your skills
Early the next morning, Gu Liuxi got up early as usual, ran first and then went to the river to see her shrimp.
The water quality in the river in Sanli Village is good, the river water is clear, the river grass is dense, and there are many shrimps, just one night passed, the shrimp cage was densely packed with river shrimp, the size was large and the weight was sufficient, one by one next to each other in the cage struggling, jumping around, very vigorous.
Gu Liuxi was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly dragged the shrimp fishing pot out of the river, put it in a wooden barrel and carried it home.
Seeing her carrying a heavy wooden barrel from a distance, Song Yu ran up to pick it up.
"Is this a river prawn?"
"Yes, I saw a lot of them in the river yesterday, so I made a cage and put some bait in it, but I didn't expect the harvest to be so rich."
Song Yudao: "No one eats river shrimp, and the children in the village sometimes catch them to eat and play, but no one uses them to cook." ”
"You are called tyrannical creatures, and you don't even eat river shrimp." Gu Liuxi's heart is dripping blood, do you know that modern wild river shrimp sell for more than a pound? And many times you can't buy it if you want to.
Put all the shrimp in the bucket and put them in the bucket, Gu Liuxi played for a while before helping to serve the meal.
Since they couldn't make money from fishing, Daddy Song decided not to go to sea for the time being, take a day off to recuperate, and then go hunting in the mountains like Song Yu.
After breakfast, Gu Liuxi pulled a few handfuls of weeds to feed the rabbits, and then got some bait and put it in the shrimp trap, and asked Li An to help her take it to the river and put it.
Li An fiddled with the shrimp trap and looked surprised, "Cousin-in-law, your cage is so delicate, the fish and shrimp can't get out once they get in, right?" ”
"Of course, look at the shrimp in the bucket over here, all of them were caught last night."
Li An's eyes widened, "Your method is much more powerful than ours using a dustpan, cousin-in-law, when you are free another day, can you teach me to make another one?" ”
"Okay, this one is very simple, you will learn it as soon as you learn it." Gu Liuxi knew that Li An was playful, although he was a big child, he could also get along with the children in the village, and he heard that when he had his spare time, he would follow the children all over the mountains and run wildly, like a wild monkey.
Li Ang went to the river to release shrimp pots, and Gu Liuxi sat in the yard to handle river shrimp.
The shrimp meat is delicate and easy to digest, suitable for all ages, the taste is delicious and unique, and the nutrition is also very rich, especially this kind of river shrimp that is not polluted by a little bit, rich in protein and many trace elements required by the human body, and has a good nourishing effect on children and pregnant women.
Song Yu didn't go hunting today, and walked to Gu Liuxi and sat on the small bench, "How to deal with it?" ”
"Just remove the head and take out the shrimp line." Gu Liuxi showed him. Truth be told, she still had a bit of a hard time dealing with this living creature.
Song Yu was originally quick with his hands and feet, and he was very fast at dealing with river shrimp, while Gu Liuxi specialized in picking dead shrimp, which was much slower than Song Yu's.
There are not only shrimp in the barrel, but also small fish the size of a thumb, which are cleaned and rolled in oil a few times when the time comes, and even the fish bones are crispy, and the custodian family can't stop eating.
But there is little oil at home, which is also a big problem.
Gu Liuxi also kept the matter of buying oil in mind, and when the dividends of Jiashan Building came out, he must buy all the things he wanted to buy.
In one morning, the two of them finally processed some of the shrimp, and some Gu Liuxi estimated that they would not be able to eat it for a while and a half, so they simply put it in a bucket and raised it first, and then dealt with it when they wanted to eat it. Dead shrimp has a fishy smell, and it still needs to be fresh to be delicious.
Maintaining the same movement for a whole morning, Gu Liuxi's neck was about to stiffen, she turned her head slightly, and her neck suddenly clicked.
Aunt Song came out of the house, "Liuxi, Yu'er, you guys quickly wash your hands and come in to try on new clothes." ”
"It's here, mother."
Gu Liuxi hurriedly washed the mud on his hands, and when he turned around, he saw that Song Yuzheng was moving a bucket of shrimp into the house.
"Song Yu, my mother told us to try on new clothes."
"You go first." Song Yutou didn't reply.
Gu Liuxi ran into the house and changed into a blue dress made by Aunt Song.
The workmanship of the clothes worn at the return ceremony is not very fine, after all, it takes just a few days to be completed by one person, and the time is too short.
Gu Liuxi took the hem of her skirt around a few times, "Mother, is it good-looking?" ”
Aunt Song wiped her eyes and choked up: "Good-looking, good-looking, Liuxi is beautiful, she looks good in everything, but her mother doesn't do it well, and the fabric is not comfortable to wear." ”
"Mother, you're here again, this dress is still not good? I don't think the tailors in the shop do as well as they do. Gu Liuxi said with a grin.
"You, you know how to please your mother." Aunt Song couldn't cry or laugh.
Why didn't she know that she wasn't good enough in this dress? She is old, her hands and feet are not dexterous, her eyes can not see clearly, she has been processing and making overnight under the oil lamp for a few days, the stitches are not symmetrical and fine, and the threads are not handled well in some places, and the branches are not good outside, which is really not good-looking.
Seeing that Gu Liuxi didn't show even half a dislike, Aunt Song preferred this gentle and considerate child.
At noon, a group of people gathered outside the stove house, all stunned.
Gu Liuxi, this eldest lady, it stands to reason that her ten fingers don't touch the spring water, she should be delicate and don't do anything, she will open her mouth with her clothes and food, and wait for others to serve her.
But now, not only is she very down-to-earth cooking, but her movements are so skillful and neat, and the fried dishes are even more colorful, fragrant, and even the river shrimp that they don't eat are stunned by her to fry the illusion of delicacies and seas.
First of all, a dish of boiled river shrimp, add water to the pot, put a little ginger slices and salt, and then drop a drop of soju, after the water boils, then put in the river shrimp to simmer, wait for the shrimp meat to turn from transparent to red, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and put on the plate.
This is simple and does not cost oil, but also retains the original deliciousness of river shrimp, rich in nutritional value, and is Gu Liuxi's favorite dish.
Then there is a dish of fried river shrimp with leeks, the leeks are at the back of the house, which was planted when Song Yu was fine, and now they have grown a lot. Leeks can refresh and strengthen the stomach, stop perspiration and astringency, and the edible value is very high.
Gu Liuxi picked a handful of leeks, washed them and cut them into sections, and dried the river shrimp for later use.
Bring the oil to a boil in the pot, add ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then add leeks and stir-fry for a while, and then slide the river shrimp into the pot, which is a good dish after stir-frying.
A bucket of shrimp didn't use one-tenth, Gu Liuxi thought about it and planned to make another garlic shrimp.
"Song Yu, come in and help me chop garlic." Gu Liuxi shouted.
"Okay." Song Yu, who finally had a place to help, walked in and began to peel and chop garlic. Gu Liuxi took out a handful of vermicelli from the box and soaked it in boiling water, and it could be used after it was swollen.
Ang Lee also whispered, "Cousin-in-law, is there anything I have to do?" ”
