Chapter 39: Preparation

When Jiang Han returned home after buying tofu, it was already lunchtime, and Yun Niang had already made lunch.

"But something happened?" Yun Niang saw that her face was gloomy and she was concerned.

"It's okay, it's just a shame to see the inspection soldiers in public." Jiang Hanqiang replied with a smile, secretly exhaled, and changed the topic, "Let's eat first!" The tofu will be frozen in the well first, and we will get the fish after the Shen time. I plan to go back to work in the teahouse tomorrow, and I want Xiao An to accompany me to read a book in the afternoon, and go to work tomorrow, I guess the shopkeeper Wang will ask. ”

"Oh!" Yun Niang looked at her several times, didn't ask again, and helped her with her work.

The family had lunch together, and her father inevitably scolded her a few more words, but she didn't hear her talk back, and her father also looked at her strangely several times.

After eating, Jiang Han really took the initiative to find Xiao An with the book, and he looked at it very seriously, even Xiao An was surprised, and looked at her frequently with questions.

"Sister Yue, did someone stimulate you on the street today?"

"Why do you ask?" Jiang Han used her special charcoal pen to carefully copy and write on the paper without raising her head.

Xiao An said like a little adult: "If you encounter something that can't be solved, you can talk to me, my father said that if a person suddenly changes, he must have encountered a big ......."

"......" Jiang Han snapped, slapped the charcoal on the table, poked his head, and said angrily, "I can't study hard every day, it's all you people who block my progress!" ”

At this point, Jiang Han, who felt weird, returned to normal.

However, Jiang Han behaved really well today, even if she didn't sleep while reading, she actually forgot the time, and waited for his father's displeased voice to sound in the yard before she came back to her senses.

"Moon girl, what are you going to do with this fish? It's all dying! ”

The three people in the room looked at the hourglass at the same timeβ€”it was already past Shenzhong.

The three of them hurriedly packed their things and went to the kitchen, where her father was standing at the kitchen door with a frown, waiting for them.

"We plan to make sauerkraut fish, the head of the fish should be chopped off separately to make a dish, and the internal organs should be washed out to stew tofu...... Dad, you can clean it up for me! Yun Niang, you have the other condiments ready. Jiang Han smiled and arranged for the two of them.

"So what am I doing?" Xiao An saw that everyone had something to do, so he also came to join in the fun.

"Well, what are you going to do? Burner? Or rice washing? Jiang Han patted him on the head and hit him.

Father Jiang encouraged him with a loving face: "Xiao An will see how your sister does it this time, and then help when she learns it, you can also help her watch the fire!" ”

"Okay, I'll go to the backyard to get sauerkraut and baso. Dad, which jar is the sauerkraut with bigger leaves? ”

"What sauerkraut with bigger leaves? All the leaves have been eaten, and there are still turnips and mustard left, but yesterday I pickled some vegetables, and now I can't open the altar. ”

"Huh? Could it be that the sauerkraut in the sauerkraut fish should be turned into pickled radish? Jiang Han was a little confused, he thought that this was something that was easy to obtain, but it was really lacking.

"Go next door to see if your aunt has come back, and ask her if there is anything else at home." Her father shook his head helplessly and said.

Fortunately, Aunt Liu came back and was boiling water in the kitchen.

The layout of the courtyard of the Liu family is similar to that of the Jiang family, except that it is larger and forms a trapezoid. The distance between the east side and the front and back of the side of her house is short, and the west side is longer, so there are two more rooms in the west wing.

As soon as Jiang Han entered the door, he smelled the smell of blood on Aunt Liu's body: "Who is my aunt delivering today?" ”

Aunt Liu replied happily: "Today is a big customer, and the concubine of Huang Wuye in Dongzhen gave birth to a big fat son for him!" ”。

"Hey, look at your aunt, you're happy, you've got a lot of rewards, right?" Jiang Han smiled with a glint in his eyes.

"Of course, this Huang Wuye has four good shops in Dongzhen! is forty-five years old, and he didn't give birth to a son after accepting a bunch of concubines, and now he got his wish, and he was so happy that he almost fainted, do you think he can reward less? "Aunt Liu is very complacent.

"Then there must be at least ten taels, right?"

"Go, you girl really dare to think, how can these shopkeepers who do big business be so loose?" Aunt Liu scoffed at Jiang Han's thoughts, but she didn't say how much reward she had won.

Jiang Han looked at her with a wink of sauerkraut, itching in his heart, and was about to ask again when Liu Xiaomei came back.

"You're coming to my house to pick up something again!" She stated.

"Stingy, don't you want to borrow any sauerkraut?" Jiang Han reached out and knocked her.

Liu Xiaomei frowned and avoided: "Sauerkraut? Your family is so poor that you don't even have sauerkraut? ”

"Who said that my family has fish to eat today, and I want to make a sauerkraut fish, haven't you eaten it?" Jiang Han said.

"I also have fish at home, and your fish must be hard to eat." Liu Xiaomei asserted directly, and looked at her mother again, "Mother, what do we do with our fish?" ”

"Where do we get our fish?"

"Brother bought it. In the morning, I was on the road and saw him carrying him home. I'm afraid that my mother hasn't returned yet, so I deliberately went home early. ”

"No, your brother didn't come back after he went out in the morning! Okay, Moon girl, if you want to fish and go back, I'll go wash first. Aunt Liu didn't think about it so much, so she left the two of them and went to the bathroom.

Liu Xiaomei slowly turned her head and stared at Jiang Han suspiciously: "Your fish was sent by my brother?" ”

"Yes, I sent it early in the morning, and it weighed two or three pounds!" Jiang Han showed off.

Liu Xiaomei suddenly became angry: "It's too much, you must have snatched it away!" ”

"No, my brother Kang loves me the most, he specially bought it for me to mend my injuries!" Jiang Han grimaced and deliberately teased her.

"Troublemaker, my brother hates you the most! I'm his own sister, and my brother loves me the most! It was bought for me, he knows I like to eat fish, and you are the one who deliberately robbed me of my fish! The little girl was so angry that her face was paralyzed and her face cracked, and she had to pounce on Jiang Han.

This rare scene made Jiang Han very happy, she jumped her feet to dodge flexibly, and grinned and continued to stimulate her: "Hey, are you jealous?" It's not good to be jealous at a young age! But a fish, I'm still injured, you've been studying for so long, don't you know how to treat the sick well? You are so stingy, does your master know? It's a big deal, I'll invite you to eat! ”

"Don't, who wants to eat your stinky fish! I won't let you succeed, you don't want to marry my brother and be my sister-in-law! Liu Xiaomei trembled with anger, and said with a black face.

Jiang Han froze and pouted disdainfully: "Who rarely gives you a sister-in-law, what are you thinking about at a young age?" Is it really good that you're so precocious? ”

After saying that, he ignored her and went home with sauerkraut.

Liu Xiaomei sulked at the closed courtyard door, but the people in the Jiang family's small courtyard were busy with their duties.

Father Jiang processed the fish according to Jiang Han's requirements, Yun Niang had also prepared the condiments, and at this time he was pouring the cut sweet potatoes into the pot, stirring with the rice, and preparing to steam a pot of sweet potato rice, Xiao An asked excitedly in the kitchen.

Jiang Han put the pickles away, closed her eyes and inhaled to feel the positive and warm atmosphere in the courtyard, after the quarrel with Liu Xiaomei just now, the last trace of depression left in her heart at this moment has also dissipated.

"Alright, let's start making the 'Whole Fish Feast' now!" Jiang Han shredded the sauerkraut and blanched it aside for later use, and then said to the other people, "The method is very simple, Yun Niang, I'll say the steps again, the rest depends on you!" If you can make the sauerkraut fish and chopped pepper fish head in my mind, you will be a master, haha! ”

"First of all, let's dismember the fish, remove the bones, and cut the flesh into slices!"

Yun Niang looked at her, and then at the fish with the head removed on the chopping board, put down the knife in her hand, and shook her head in embarrassment: "I, I won't ......"

The bubble of the "master" suddenly burst, and Jiang Han held his forehead and said: "Dizzy, I can't pick it up well......"

"Come on, girl, tell Daddy what kind of cut out."
