095 Killing Fish
Gong Xichu was a little surprised, was she protecting that woman?
"Besides, Childe, she doesn't have much experience at first glance, how can she ...... like me" Hearts wanted to say something but was interrupted impatiently by the man.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, I'll just ask how did you meet Hua Ronghua?" Listening to her again, Gong Xichu himself has to vomit, no matter how hungry he is, he will not look for this kind of woman!
Red Hearts was startled by his suddenly cold gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched hard, and his eyes suddenly widened again, "Childe recognizes Sister Ronghua?" ”
Gongxi Chu snorted as if he didn't have anything.
"Then you are ......" Hearts looked Gong Xichu up and down, guessing his identity.
"Say whatever you ask!" Gong Xichu was a little impatient.
When the red heart saw that Gong Xichu recognized Hua Ronghua, he let go of half of his heart, and then told him about the acquaintance with Hua Ronghua the day before yesterday. In her opinion, this son's talent really doesn't look like a bad person, and even if he really has any thoughts about Rong Hua's sister, it's not necessarily a bad thing!
This son is not good-looking, and he is not an ordinary person when he looks at the clothes, and Sister Ronghua wants to follow him, not to mention being small, even being a slave is burning high incense! Maybe I can borrow a light with me! The more heart thinks about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and the more flattering it becomes.
Hearing that Hua Ronghua was targeted because he was looking for work in a restaurant, Gongxi Chu frowned and cursed, "You deserve it!" ”
"Childe?" Hearts were stunned, how did he feel like he was a little angry?
Gong Xichu was quite angry, and felt that this woman was a little stupid! What's so bad about being your own woman? It's better than her making money everywhere and being targeted by bad guys. Is it because I am afraid of being persecuted by the lady in the main room? But I may not have any main room in the future! Without my cousin, who deserves to be in this main room?
Red hearts watched the pretty boy raise his feet and go out of his yard and was a little dazed, what does this boy mean? Wait for the next time Sister Ronghua comes, you must ask clearly.
Mo An, who had been blowing cold wind at the corner of the alley for a long time, came home with a sneez, and when he saw Mo Yan, who had just returned from going to another county to run errands, he instantly burst into tears and grabbed him, "Mo Yan, if you don't come back, I'll die!" Ahh ”
Mo Yan shook off his hand and took two steps back, looking at the snot that was thrown on the ground with a look of disgust.
"Mo Yan, you ......" Mo An pointed at the sad look on his face, "How can you break my heart like your master?" Do you know how pitiful I am, the master will be beautiful when he enters the house, and I will blow a cold wind outside, alas! Mo An suddenly covered his head and screamed.
Gong Xichu stood at the door of the room and looked at him coldly, "Mo An, you are so brave that you dare to chew the root of your tongue behind your back?" ”
"No, no." Mo An was taken aback, but he didn't expect that a few words with Mo Yanmo in private would be heard by the master.
"Are you done?" Gong Xichu turned to Mo Yan.
"Yes." Mo Yan nodded heavily.
"Come in with me."
Mo An threw him a 'self-begging' look, and then slipped into the stove room, where cockroaches lit a fire, and this was the warmest place in the whole courtyard.

Hua Ronghua returned to Jiang's house, feeling that it was a little cold in the house, so she went outside to get firewood to make a fire, and when she hugged a few thinner pine branches and was about to take thicker firewood, she suddenly paused.
How do you feel that the firewood seems to burn too fast!
Turning his head to look at the woodpile of the Jiang widow opposite, there were originally two or three bundles more than her, but now it is still a large pile, and it feels that there is not much less at all, could it be that someone burned these firewood for him?
Hua Ronghua let out a long breath of depression, I really can't say anything about this, after all, catch a thief and get dirty! But this firewood was also bought with his own money, and he was really unwilling to burn it for others so inexplicably!
So, Hua Ronghua, who was unwilling, moved firewood into the stove little by little.
Widow Jiang took a few glances when she came out to go to the toilet, and after a while, she went to the warehouse to take a sieve and look this way for a while, and the third time, she came over and asked Hua Ronghua, who was tired and sweaty, "What are you doing here?" What is it doing when it is poured into the house? Blame the place! ”
Hua Ronghua paused for a moment, then got up and said with a half-frown: "Isn't there anything I can't do!" The snow has soaked all the firewood, and it is not good to make a fire, so it is good to move the firewood into the house when it is time to start a fire! ”
"Then you don't have to move so much into the house!" Widow Jiang looked at the firewood that had been piled up in half of the stove room and almost blocked the door, and said worriedly: "Don't let the fire in the stove door burn in the end when you get so much firewood, and then burn the house!" ”
Hua Ronghua looked at the firewood that was almost piled up in front of the stove door, and smiled unnaturally, "This, can't it?" But he did not go back to the house.
Widow Jiang gave her a blank look, "I don't care, anyway, if you want to burn my house, you have to compensate me according to the price!" ”
"That, Sister Jiang, have you bought firewood these days? Why is it that most of the winter has passed, and I don't seem to see how much less of your firewood pile? Hua Ronghua suddenly asked.
"Ahem!" Widow Jiang cleared her throat a little uncomfortably, "I'm burning the province!" ”
Is there another province for her? Hua Ronghua thought disdainfully, but said a sentence on his lips, "Look, I have to buy this little firewood for a short time, and I always feel that it costs me a little bit to burn this winter!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Widow Jiang laughed dryly, "What, Sister Hua, you are busy, I'll go back to pick beans, and I'll give you a taste of the bean sprouts when the time comes." As he spoke, he slapped his ass and left in a hurry.
"Humph!" Hua Ronghua kicked the firewood at his feet a little angrily, and the depressed Hua Ronghua vowed to work hard to make money and have a house of his own, and soon, the opportunity to make money came.
The next day, as soon as Hua Ronghua's meal was ready, Feng Yaren came.
"Why did the Feng Yaren come so early? Have you eaten it? Widow Jiang greeted her sharply, then opened the gate and spoke to Feng Yaren in the courtyard.
"Hua Niangzi also come and listen." Feng Yaren smiled and beckoned to Hua Ronghua, who was sticking out his head from behind the door.
In order to hide the embarrassment of peeking, Hua Ronghua took the lead in speaking, "Isn't it a good thing to laugh so happily?" ”
"It's really a good thing!" Feng Yaren smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me a few days ago if anyone wants to hire female workers?" That's where the work comes in. Li Yuanwai in the west of the city is going to have a big event for his 50th birthday, and there are not enough people in the house to hire a few temporarily, no, I think of you! ”
"Really? So how much do they give? Widow Jiang asked with a happy face.
"What are you doing?" Hua Ronghua spoke at the same time, and then the two women glanced at each other, and then turned their gaze to Feng Yaren at the same time.
"That's the chores in the kitchen, a total of two, thirty a day." Feng Yaren explained, "If it works, I'll take you over to see the steward now." ”
Thirty a day, it's almost the same as embroidering four purses at home, but I really can't embroider these days, it's okay to try other jobs, Hua Ronghua is still thinking about it, but I heard that Widow Jiang on the other side has already said that she is willing.
Feng Yaren looked at Hua Ronghua again.
"Then count me in." Hua Ronghua thought to himself, maybe he can encounter some opportunity to make a fortune this time, isn't it all said in the novel?
"Okay, then you guys change your clothes and come with me!" Feng Yaren smiled at the two of them.
Hua Ronghua changed clothes with Widow Jiang and followed Feng Yaren to Li Yuanwai's house.
They entered through the back door, and were led by an old mother to the kitchen.
The kitchen is very large, as big as three wings, four stoves, and there are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish meat, abalone and shark fin on the shelves next to it, and the mother-in-law and maid ring in charge are shuttling among them, which seems to be very busy.
The lady in charge who greeted them was a serious and thin middle-aged woman, and when she saw Hua Ronghua and the others, she first looked at them critically, and then asked with her nostrils facing the sky: "Have you ever worked in the stove at home?" ”
"Yes." Hua Ronghua was a little uncomfortable, but still replied.
Widow Jiang smiled and said, "Look at what my sister said, doesn't this woman walk around her stove?" Where is there anyone who can't work in the stove? ”
The lady in charge looked more than ten years older than Widow Jiang, but she was called sister, and although she kept a straight face, she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising, and said directly: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, anyway, you are here to wash the dishes and vegetables." ”
The lady in charge told her again, and then let the two go back first, and come over tomorrow as soon as they entered.
The next day, Hua Ronghua and Widow Jiang deliberately got up early in the morning and came to Li Yuanwai's house with the starlight that had not yet completely fallen.
"Hurry up, I'll have to prepare a table after breakfast in a while." The housekeeper's lady directly instructed Widow Jiang to light the fire and asked Hua Ronghua to kill the fish in the basin.
As soon as she saw the carp with ice ballast, Hua Ronghua shivered from the cold, and said that she wouldn't, but it can be seen that the lady in charge was found again, and everyone else was busy with their own duties, no way, Hua Ronghua thought, everything has a first time, just give it a try, besides, she has even seen dead people, let alone a fish!
Hua Ronghua, who had made up her mind, stretched her sleeve and stretched her hand out, but the biting water was cold, and she retracted her hand with a loud sound.
Everyone else in the stove room subconsciously looked this way, and Hua Ronghua blushed and said it was okay.
Hua Ronghua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that other people's eyes had finally moved away, and then slowly put his hand into the water little by little and gritted his teeth to catch fish.
These fish were caught after breaking the ice, and they were not dead yet, and when they were touched by Hua Ronghua's hand, the fishtail subconsciously swung into her arms, soaking her clothes semi-wet, and she reached out to hold it and fell back into the basin, making a splash.
"Ouch, I said you still know how to do the stove! Can't even catch a fish? "The lady in charge happened to come back, and when she saw this scene, she only felt angry.
Hua Ronghua didn't care about his embarrassment and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to this." ”
"If you can do it, do it, if you can't do it, say it as soon as possible, don't delay our master's banquet!" The housekeeper's lady trained her with a straight face.
Hua Ronghua endured the astringency in his eyes and snorted with his nose, squatted down to catch the fish, perhaps because he was angry, this time he actually grabbed the fish firmly in his hand, No matter how it swings its tail, it is useless! Then he picked up the back of the knife and stunned the fish.
The lady in charge looked at it next to her eyelids, how did she feel that the knife was cut on herself! "Alright, let's get the basin end of the well, what can I do if I get water here?"
So, Hua Ronghua came to the well with a large pot of fish to slaughter.
In fact, she has only seen others kill fish, and it is definitely the first time for her to do it herself. I remember that the fish sellers seemed to knock the fish out and then disembowel, pick out the gills, and then shave the scales.
It's very simple to remember, but it's really difficult to make, the same as making a female red embroidery. Hua Ronghua finally broke open the fish belly, and when his fingers were tugging on the intestines inside, he was accidentally scratched by the fish bones, and the bright red blood droplets froze into ice as soon as they came out.
At this moment, she was aggrieved and wanted to cry.
