Chapter 9 Farmers Don't Like Yellow Eels

Chen Qi couldn't understand it, and felt that he was wearing a different world? Could it be that the human tastes here are different from those in his previous life?

Yellow eel, and it's such a thick and big wild yellow eel, why is it not delicious?

Foodies are not convinced! Wild fishing enthusiasts in the vegetable market are not convinced!

Chen Shu was a little disdainful: "Hehe, brother, if you want to eat it, let's grab one and try it, you will know." ”

As a result, at noon, Chen Qi was a little suspicious of life when he ate the steamed yellow eel in the bowl, but he sprinkled a little salt, and when he ate it in his mouth, it was really fishy, and there was an obvious earthy taste.

Chen Qi looked at the empty stove at home and understood what the problem was.

Yellow eel was a home-cooked dish in his previous life, and the most common way to cook it was "stir-fried eel", or "braised eel slices".

There are more seasonings in it, such as garlic moss, green pepper slices, shredded ginger, green onions, pepper, salt, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, monosodium glutamate, dried peppercorns, dried chili peppers, Pixian watercress and so on.

Then fry it with heavy oil on a fierce fire, even if the leather soles are copied out, they are fragrant.

But in the countryside now, there is no seasoning, and the only vegetable oil and soy sauce at home have also been all troubled by him.

A little salt alone can't get rid of the earthy smell of the yellow eel, so the farmers don't like to eat it.

If you have time to catch yellow eels, it is better to go to the mountains to get some wild boar, pheasant, and hare meat, which is more fragrant.

Originally, the yellow eel could be sold to people in the city after it was caught, but it was still the old saying, there was no way to transport it out, even if the cost of transporting it out was too great, and it was easy to be locked up by speculation to "learn".

It's okay now, not to mention that there are more yellow eels, no one wants to eat the same loaches and snails, and the huge field chickens are jumping around in the fields, and there is no fear.

This kind of most popular food for drinking at night food stalls in later generations is really "Now you ignore me, and you can't afford to climb it in the future." ”

That afternoon, Chen Qi was holding a textbook in his hand, but his mind had already drifted far, far away.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, he wants to make money, so he can only hit the output in the mountains.

Although God let him be reborn in this remote mountain village, and his family was so poor that he was so poor, but fortunately in the misfortune, he gave him a golden finger against the sky.

The people of Haidong Province are full of business genes, what should they do if they are so poor now?

By those dead wages in the future?

Besides, even if you have a salary, it's only next year, so why do you want to continue to eat bran now?

Unconsciously, Chen Qi thought of his "predecessor" again.

The young man studied very hard and was a cheerful person, but unfortunately he never had enough to eat at school, and he often grumbled with hunger.

Although there is no tuition fee for studying in secondary school this year, the textbook fee still has to be paid by yourself, not much, a few yuan, which is not a big burden for the poor Chen family.

Another burden is that the subsidy for secondary school is too small.

When I go to college, I have a subsidy of almost 19 yuan a month, which is enough to save a little money, and I can occasionally spend a few cents to buy a movie ticket.

However, the subsidy for secondary school students has been halved, only 10 yuan a month, and all this money is exchanged for the school's special "money ticket", and the meal is barely enough.

The original owner was in the cafeteria, and he usually made 4 taels of rice, asked for a vegetarian dish, and then made some free dried vegetable soup, which added up to only 1 cent and 7 cents.

Breakfast is more saving, generally two white flour steamed buns 8 cents, sometimes don't eat directly, hungry.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, it was the time when the half-grown child ate the poor old man, and he didn't buy meat vegetables for a long time, and there was a lack of oil and water in his stomach.

is such a standard of living, compressed and compressed, 10 yuan is really barely enough to eat, if it weren't for the support of the family's sweet potatoes, it wouldn't be able to hold on at all.

The original owner was a reading seed, and he didn't think about making money in his head, and there was no place for work-study in these years.

Now Chen Qi thinks that books still need to be read, which is related to having a stable job in the future. But money is also to be earned, so that the eldest sister does not have to carry bricks, so that the younger brothers and sisters can eat big fat.

I also don't want to be too hungry in my student life, and I always have to find a way to work hard.

The 80s were not the era of supporting the bold and starving the timid.

Then starting a small business is the most readily available way.

Aren't peaches, bayberry, yellow eels, loaches, snails, and chickens in Xia Ze Village the best business without capital?

After making up his mind, Chen Qi fooled Chen Shu and Chen Hua: "Do you two want to eat meat again?" Eating popsicles? ”

The boys and girls nodded their heads like pounding garlic: "Think, think." ”

"If you want to, do my brother a favor, little brother, you go to the field stream to catch yellow eel loaches these days, little sister, you go to touch the snails and catch the field chicken, the more the better, catch as many as you want, you can mobilize your friends to catch together."

Chen Shu was deflated when he heard this: "Brother, why are you so brainless, didn't I tell you that this thing can't be sold." ”

Chen Hua also nodded.

Chen Qi clasped his hands on his chest and leaned back on the back of the chair: "Who said that I want to sell it in Xingtang?" Brother, I can go to the city and sell it. ”

"But how are you going to get these things out? Don't go halfway and die. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the immortals have their own clever plans, if you want to eat meat, you can listen to my brother, my brother can even pass the secondary school exam, what is this little difficulty?"

Chen Shu and Chen Hua are a little skeptical, but thinking that their brother has always been reliable in doing things, maybe he really has something to do.

So the three brothers and sisters were busy in the fields every day, and they were all cautious for fear that people would know and scold them as three fools.

It is the easiest to touch the snails, and in the paddy fields in summer, this thing is the most, and you can touch a sack a day.

It is also simple to catch a field chicken, hang a pumpkin stamen with a cotton thread on the stick, and then go to the field to fish.

Loaches are simpler, find a muddy ground to turn over the mud, or find a ditch, and after the water is released, the loaches are piled up.

It's a little troublesome to catch the yellow eel, this thing is hidden in the hole, but a country kid like Chen Shu has the best way, so he found a wire on a bicycle wheel and sharpened it on a small stick.

Dig some earthworms as bait, you can go fishing for yellow eels, and the ones that are caught are thicker than the other, which is a little less efficient.

In fact, the best way to fish for yellow eels is to go to the field to put hooks, put them down in the evening, and pull them up in the middle of the night.

The yellow eels, loaches, snails, and chickens harvested every day were all taken away by Chen Qi, and no one knew where they went.

Thirteen-year-old Chen Shu and Chen Hua don't care where these things go, they only care about when they can sell money to buy popsicles and pork at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
