Chapter 038: No One Is Idle

"Hongyun, that kid went to you to complain?" When he arrived at the Liu family's old house, he received Chen Zhaodi's dissatisfied gaze.

Liu Xinyu knew that she couldn't hide anything from Chen Zhaodi, so she nodded with a smile: "It's not a complaint, it's just that I don't feel happy in my heart, so talk to me." ”

"I heard that Zhang Daniu took several sons to the next village?" Wang Sanmei fed the little fourth child while eating food in her mouth, and did not forget to gossip.

Liu Xinyu is not used to the big pot of rice in the farmhouse, and she doesn't like to eat while talking like this, if Chen Zhaodi didn't want her to come over to eat, she would really like to make a bowl of noodles at home.

Subconsciously stepped aside and stayed away from Wang Sanmei, Liu Xinyu felt better, "It seems to be so." ”

Chen Zhaodi should have seen Liu Xinyu's discomfort, and seeing that Wang Sanmei still wanted to continue gossiping, she glared at Wang Sanmei with a blank face: "Rice can't stop your mouth!" Don't worry about other people's affairs! ”

As soon as Chen Zhaodi's words came out, Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinju looked over in surprise.

Don't worry about other people's affairs!

Isn't this what Liu Xinyu said to Liu Xinju just now?

When did my milk have such a tacit understanding with myself?!

After eating, Chen Zhaodi asked Liu Xinju to take the third and fourth children to take a nap, and the others couldn't take a lunch break for the time being, so they had to make a plan and implement the catch of yellow eel first.

First of all, Chen Zhaodi gave a brief introduction to today's promotion of yellow eel.

"Fifteen pounds? Mom, where are there so many in our house! As soon as Chen Zhaodi reported the number of orders booked by the director, Liu Qingshan shouted out in surprise.

Of course, he was slapped by Chen Zhaodi, plus a stern reprimand: "What are you shouting!" It's not going to be delivered today, isn't there still two days left! ”

This reprimand blocked Wang Sanmei's exclamation that she was about to exit.

Compared with his son and daughter-in-law, Liu Houxing is of course much calmer, and of course he may have learned the news in advance, but it can be seen that he is also very excited at this time, no, he subconsciously picked up the cigarette pouch and wanted to smoke a bag.

As a result, before he took out the cigarette, his hand was hit by Chen Zhaodi lightly: "If you want to smoke it, Xinyu can't smell your smoke!" ”

At this time, Liu Xinyu could only purse her lips and smile.

"Xinyu, tell me if we can complete this task." Chen Zhaodi directly gave Liu Xinyu the opportunity to speak.

Whether he could use two nights to catch the yellow eel that Director Shan had booked and Chen Zhaodi promised to reluctantly give to Accountant Yan, Liu Xinyu had certainly considered it.

In addition to catching yellow eels with the tools he used last night, Liu Xinyu also plans to go to the river and paddy fields to put cages.

Because there was only one laborer in the family before, there were only a few cages for catching yellow eels at home, and a few more had to be made, and some bait had to be prepared.

Liu Xinyu came out with his thoughts and the things he needed to prepare, which shocked everyone in the Liu family a little dumbfounded.

Although they all knew that Liu Qingshan would catch fish and catch yellow eels, and they had seen Liu Qingshan go down to the cage to catch yellow eels, and even learned Liu Qingshan to get out of the cage, but unfortunately they didn't gain much, and it was more in vain, but they didn't expect that Liu Xinyu, who had always been considered a delicate girl by them, was so familiar with catching yellow eels in the cage.

Although it has not been practiced, from the experience of catching yellow eels last night, no one has questioned Liu Xinyu.

At least Liu Qingshan couldn't say anything to question anymore, because from Liu Xinyu's words, he finally understood why his cage couldn't catch the yellow eel before.

After some discussion, Chen Zhaodi asked Liu Qingshan and Liu Houxing to rest first, and waved at Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu knew that the change was to let her go back to her home.

Everything is arranged by Chen Zhaodi, and everyone is not idle, and everyone is arranged to work.

Liu Xinyu returned to his home and immediately began to prepare the materials for making the cage, and after Liu Houxing rested, he would come to make the cage.

The materials and tools for making cages are available at home.

The utility room at home is like a treasure trove, as long as you rummage carefully, you can always find what you need.

Only then did Liu Xinyu realize the benefits of Liu Qingshan's always fond of piling things up in the utility room in the past.

Liu Houxing came alone, and Liu Xinyu was a little surprised.

looked behind Liu Houxing and made sure that there was no Chen Zhaodi, and Liu Xinyu couldn't help but be curious: "My milk didn't come?" ”

"You milk them to the ground, Xinjian takes Xinyao to the river to catch small fish and shrimp, and Xinju takes the fourth child to watch the house at home." Liu Houxing is not a person who likes to talk a lot, so he concisely explained the arrangements at home, and then picked up the cage made by Liu Qingshan and studied it.

There is a trick to catching the cage of the yellow eel, and if you don't do it well, you can't catch the yellow eel.

Although Liu Houxing didn't talk much, he was a capable and skillful person, and it didn't take long to study the cage almost, but there was always one place that was a little incomprehensible.

If this place is not done well, even if the yellow eel enters the cage, it will eventually run away, and I can't help but frown.

Liu Xinyu, who was finishing Zhang Hongyun's clothes, couldn't help but stop stepping on the sewing machine, stood up and walked over, squatted in front of Liu Houxing and studied.

Although she hadn't done it herself, because of Liu Qingshan's inheritance, of course, she quickly solved this problem.

"Master, look here, isn't it okay to use this thin wire to wrap around here twice?" Liu Xinyu picked up a wire and pointed to the head of the cage to make a demonstration.

Liu Houxing suddenly realized, and then it was much easier.

Liu Houxing made seventeen or eighteen cages in one go, plus the cages in the utility room, there were almost twenty or so.

Liu Xinyu hurriedly shouted to stop, and decided whether to continue to do it after looking at the harvest at night.

By the way, I have to change the water for the yellow eels in the water tank.

At this time, Liu Xinyu had already finished Zhang Hongyun's clothes, came over to look at the yellow eels in the water tank, and pointed to a few yellow eels that were not very active, "Master, these yellow eels don't seem to be very energetic, I'm afraid they won't live the day after tomorrow, so it's better to take them back and kill them and eat them." ”

Liu Houxing looked at the yellow eels in the water tank, and there were indeed a few that were a little belly-turning.

Although they are all alive now, there is no guarantee of being alive after a long time.

Although the countrymen have a hard life, the dead yellow eel is not eaten.

It's better to kill the yellow eel while it's still alive, so that the children can eat something good.

It would be a pity to throw it away when you die.

So on the dinner table of Liu's family in the evening, there was an extra plate of braised yellow eel, which was burned by Liu Xinyu himself.

"It's delicious! In the past, I always heard people say that yellow eels are not delicious and have an earthy smell. At noon, I heard my mother-in-law say that Director Shan ordered fifteen catties of yellow eel to add color to the wedding banquet, and I still muttered in my heart! I didn't expect it to be so delicious! Wang Sanmei sighed while eating.

Chen Zhaodi frowned and glared at Wang Sanmei, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to reprimand.

Liu Xinyu didn't want the good atmosphere to be ruined, swallowed the tomato and egg soup in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and explained with a smile: "The yellow eel is not burned well, it does have an earthy smell, mainly from the mucus on the yellow eel, and it must be treated before burning." ”

Not only did Wang Sanmei stop the chopsticks, but Chen Zhaodi also put down the chopsticks in her hand, and Liu Xinyu inevitably spoke more carefully: "First scald the killed yellow eel with hot water to remove the mucus on the surface of the yellow eel."

This layer of slime is the source of the earthy smell.

However, using hot water can only remove most of the mucus from the eel's body, and it has to be rubbed with salt and sweet potato flour to remove it all.

Wash the yellow eel and cut it into small pieces, drain the water, add cooking wine to marinate for about 10 minutes, and add some garlic when burning, so that the burned yellow eel basically does not have an earthy smell. ”

It was salt and sweet potato flour, Chen Zhaodi's face changed slightly, she moved her lips, but she didn't say anything in the end, and looked at Liu Xinyu's gaze a little indescribable.
