Chapter VII
Nothing else matters, I'll go and see the fish first, lest this thing run away and I won't be able to eat it.
There is a large basin next to the water tank, the fish is more than half a meter long, and the round body knows that the meat is fat and delicious at a glance, lying motionless in the basin, it is likely to be dead.
I smiled with satisfaction, it's good to die.
The ancients said: A dead fish is a good fish. The most important thing is that this guy can't run!
Suddenly, the thing writhed its tail a few times weakly.
Not dead? Did you just faint?
It doesn't matter, I'll eat you in a while anyway.
And look at its head, ten catties will definitely not be able to beat, enough to eat!
Nowadays, everything is ready, only tofu is owed.
So, I walked out into the street with a stunned man, looking into the distance and looking forward to it......
In the distance, there are not only poems, but also tofu sellers.
So, sell tofu! Come on!
Finally, living in the east of the village, married into our village to learn to make tofu, tofu Lao Shih, who has been making tofu for more than 40 years, rode an electric three-wheeler, and the electric horn on the car kept shouting: "Tofu, hot tofu." ”
Before I could say hello, there was a "whoosh" and it passed.
After a while, several people from behind the car chased out of the house and shouted: "Tofu seller, stop, I want to buy tofu." ”
Tofu Lao Shih Tzu ignored it at all, the speed was extremely fast, and he ran out of more than half a mile in a blink of an eye.
A few people who were ready to buy tofu were so angry that they couldn't help muttering: "It's all deaf like this, and you still sell fart tofu?" It's pretty much the same for selling stinky tofu. ”
Tofu ran away, and a few people had to scold and prepare to go home.
Immediately afterwards, an old brother in the west of the village who also sells tofu came over slowly with the electric tricycle on, stopping from time to time and shouting: "Sell tofu." ”
Several people who wanted to go home hurriedly came over, bought one or two catties each, and went home with tofu to satisfaction.
When the people in the neighborhood bought almost it, the tofu brother listened to the eldest sister's cry and immediately chased after him.
I hurriedly shouted, "Whoever bought tofu, come here." ”
Li Laosan was surprised: "Don't buy him, this guy is not professional in making tofu, and there is too much water for tofu." ”
Cut, it's like we don't add water.
Now these authors who write online novels, in order to write millions of words, how many of them are not crazy and write stinky and long?
Brother Tofu looked at me with a smile: "The sun is coming out in the west?" Do you eat tofu when you're older? ”
I glared angrily: This person is so annoying, if it weren't for the fact that eating tofu costs money, I dare to eat it every day?
I sneered: "Actually, I don't like to eat tofu at all, I just teased you."
Since I called you, and you came over obediently, weigh me two cents. ”
Brother Tofu was furious: "Two cents? Not sold. ”
I'm so angry that I don't sell for two cents? The old guy is not greedy enough!
What's the matter? Still wondering if I bought a dollar?
When I was a child, there were guests at home, and my mother took five yuan to go to the market, buy fish, meat, and vegetables, and couldn't use up a table of banquets.
It is said that someone got married before, and took five yuan to pull a few feet of cloth for his daughter-in-law to make a dress and flowers.
Then go to the commune to exchange some fine grain, and then find a carpenter to make a table, make a few benches, and if the wood is rich, then a cabinet, this is a high-class family.
In ordinary families, the matchmaker only needs to run errands to tell the woman that the man has food at home, and he will definitely not starve to death if he marries.
That's pretty much it.
On the day of the wedding, the guests came, and the man cooked a pot of dried sweet potatoes at home, and each person divided half a bowl, well, that's right, there was only half a bowl per person, and more than half of it was soup.
After eating and drinking, everyone disperses, and the newcomers can enter the cave room.
It also cost less than ten bucks in total.
What? Who said you can't eat half a bowl of dried sweet potatoes?
I can't get enough to eat, and I go home and eat.
Strange, why is it so far away?
This was a long time ago, so I won't count them.
Now, it is said that it costs to marry a daughter-in-law...... How many tens?
Well, I pulled my fingers and counted my toes.
looked at him again, and was embarrassed to borrow his finger.
After all, there are outsiders, in case the number is confused, I am afraid that people will laugh at me.
Let's just say that this old tofu guy in front of him dares not to sell me tofu, he is floating!
Do you want to let the second stunned pick up this old guy and throw it in the trash?
The old guy probably saw that my eyes were not good, so he picked up the knife for cutting tofu, cut a piece from the round bamboo basket, which was two taels, and then took a small plastic bag and handed it to me: "Take it and eat it, I don't want your money." ”
Hmph, that's pretty much it.
I took the tofu and forgot for a moment that I was about to throw him in the trash.
However, I didn't do business for two cents, and gave me a piece for nothing, which is also a bit silly.
Hey? Strange, why should I use it?
Could it be that there is a fool here?
Sent away the goods, waited for a while, the tofu old Shih Tzu turned back, the tofu basket is not dripping, it is estimated that a few more trips, it is more appropriate to sell dried tofu.
Li Laosan was helpless, so he rode a tricycle and chased wildly, so he bought back a few catties of tofu.
This business is done by talents!
Let's not talk about whether there is anything or not, hurry up and work together to eat fish!!
I stand next to the running water and do the most important job: turning the faucet on and off to make sure there is no shortage of water in the tank.
The second stunned man was responsible for scooping the water and helping to carry out the dirty water in the large basin and pour it out.
Li Laosan and his family were responsible for killing and cleaning up.
The division of labor is clear, and no one can be lazy.
That's right, that's what I am.
Secretly, I tell you that you have to help with the work when you eat, otherwise you will be embarrassed to eat more.
This is a valuable experience for me, and I don't usually tell him.
With my hard work and help, coupled with the wise guidance, Li Laosan and his wife successfully completed all the preliminary work, and they will not be ready properly.
The fish stew has finally begun.
I followed into the kitchen and stared nervously, for fear that the third daughter-in-law would not stew well.
Under the huge old-fashioned iron pot, Li Laosan set up firewood and lit a fire to heat it.
This kind of big iron pot can be said to have a long history, and more than 98% of the people in the city have never seen it.
Because, there are not many rural areas nowadays.
In the summer, non-important gatherings are not available.
After all, a pot can stew a fat sheep of more than 100 catties, the iron sheet is thick, and it costs firewood to use it.
Only in winter, families with pigs do not care about firewood every day, and a pot of hot pig food can feed dozens of pigs.
Old man Li didn't raise pigs at home, and he usually raised the big iron pot with lard, and he had to clean it up when he used it, which was particularly difficult for me.
And Li Lao's third daughter-in-law cleaned up her hands and feet neatly, and saw that the water in the steaming pot gradually evaporated.
Then put in two catties of oil, "Zila", a pound of fat meat into the pot, after the aroma is overflowing, the ginger slices are thrown in at least half a catty.
Well, put ginger to remove the fishiness, put some fat slices to increase the flavor, not bad!
I'll go, third daughter-in-law, what are you doing with a big handful of chili peppers?
Who puts chili peppers in fish stew? Crazy!!
Anyone who loves chili is ...... Hmph, they should all be pulled out and cut.
It would be better to ban the cultivation of chili peppers all over the world and completely exterminate this species.
lest everyone eat this thing, sweat all over, grin and look ugly.
Not to mention the spicy stomach ache, especially going to the toilet the next day, it is really addictive.
I snatched the pepper in horror and threw it into the bottom of the pot as soon as I bent down, and then a strong, pungent smell filled the kitchen......
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
"Ahem, ahem...... Dead hemp ......
cough cough cough ......"
Run, this place, whoever loves to stay stays, anyway, I can't stay.
