Early the next morning, Xu Lan and Lu's mother left to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Lu's mother said as she walked, the second and third children estimated that they would have to wait until almost noon to get home, so they didn't have to worry, just walk slowly.

The least thing in this fishing village should be the fish seller, after all, every family makes a living by fishing and selling fish.

Seeing that the live fish sold at the stall was particularly fresh, Lu Mu stepped forward and asked:

"Big brother, how did you sell this fish?"

As soon as the fish vendor looked up, he saw that it was Lu's mother, and opened his mouth to greet her:

"Yo, isn't this the younger brother and sister of the Lu family, look at you, you sell fish at home, why do you still come out to buy fish to eat!"

The person who spoke looked at the eyes, Xu Lan had never seen it, and when he saw this, he looked at him curiously.

The fish vendor wore a patched gray shirt and a straw hat on his head, and a pair of waterproof rain boots on his feet, probably for fear of getting their shoes wet.

Lu Mu originally asked about the price, and her eyes were all focused on the fish on the stall, and when she saw this person talking like this, she looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, so she also smiled and said:

"I'll just say how this voice sounds familiar, it turns out to be Brother Zhao."

"I'm not looking at the freshness of the fish you sell, so I'm going to come and have a look."

As she spoke, Lu Mu pulled Xu Mu and introduced to her:

"This is your Uncle Zhao, our old neighbor for many years, and he lives diagonally opposite our house."

"He watched Nanzhou and their brothers grow up, and when you meet here, you have to call Uncle Zhao."

After hearing this, Xu Mu put away the eyes he had just looked at and shouted at the man obediently:

"Uncle Zhao is good."

"Alas, alas, it's good, this is Nanzhou's daughter-in-law, she looks so beautiful, these big eyes look smart, it's really exciting."

"If that kid in my family can be so promising, marry me a beautiful daughter-in-law, I will be content in this life!"

Uncle Zhao looked at Xu Lan as he spoke, his eyes full of love and envy.

Xu Lan's face was flushed with praise from him, and he hid behind Lu Mu with an embarrassed face.

Mother Lu must be happy to see this, after all, in this family, if you want to say that she hurts the most, it is Xu Lan.

Uncle Zhao's words really praised Lu's mother's heart.

was obviously praising Xu Mu, but Lu Mu was smiling with joy on her face, and she didn't know that she thought it was she who was praised.

There is one kind, you praise my child, that is to praise my posture, and you still say:

"Your child is also a blessed one, he hasn't graduated from college yet, why are you in a hurry."

"When the child's job is stable, I will naturally marry you a good daughter-in-law when I am old!"

"You see I'm patronizing and chatting with you, the second and third of our family are back today, I don't think about the family finally reuniting so much, I want to make more delicious celebrations."

"How do you sell this fish, get me one."

The fish seller was also smiling when he heard this, and he fished a fish from the basin containing the fish that looked to be about five or six pounds heavy.

didn't weigh it, just put the fish into a plastic bag, and handed it to Lu Mu, and her voice was very loud when she spoke:

"Look at what you said, brother and sister, who is with whom in our two families, you can just take this fish and eat it."

Seeing this, Lu Mu naturally shouldn't be. Where is the truth of eating people's fish for nothing.

They are all from the same village, and they all make a living by fishing and selling fish, and these fishermen feel the same way with each other.

Mother Lu hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, took out a five-yuan bill from her pocket, and stuffed it directly into Uncle Zhao's hand.

Then he snatched the bag of fish from his hand and said to him:

"Well, I'm embarrassed to eat your fish for nothing."

"It's not easy for our family, we can understand each other, you can collect this money, you don't have to look for more."

After speaking, he pulled Xu Lan and ran, completely ignoring Uncle Zhao behind him and shouting at her:

"Hey, how can this work?"

"You give too much money, don't leave yet, I'll give you change!"

…

When I returned home, I looked up and saw that the original tattered asbestos tiles on the roof had been covered by the newly bought asbestos tiles.

The whole roof looks new, so you don't have to worry about leaking rain when it rains.

"These two guys are quite fast!"

Mother Lu carried a large bag and a small bag, and walked to the yard with Xu Lan as she spoke.

Lu Nanzhou was chopping wood in the yard, cooking for a while to light the fire.

Seeing that Lu Mu and Xu Lan were back, they hurriedly threw down the axe and ran a few steps to pick up the things they were carrying.

Lu's mother looked around, but didn't see Lu's father's figure, so she asked Lu Nanzhou:

"Where's your dad? Why don't you see others? ”

Lu Nanzhou put the things in his hand on the table in the kitchen built in the courtyard.

Then he replied: "I heard that it is going to rain again this day, so Dad and Uncle Li next door went to the fish pond to see the fish fry." ”

Lu Mu nodded to indicate that she knew, then glanced at the time and found that it was not early.

Then he said to Lu Nanzhou:

"Since your dad is not here, then it's your turn to light the fire, mutter, let's cook first, and wait for your dad and them to come back while we do."

After speaking, he directly took out the live fish in the plastic bag and dragged it to the cutting board to be processed.

A knife fell, and the fish was killed instantly.

The main hit is a steady and ruthless!

I can see Xu grinning.

Tsk, gore.

But it was only a few seconds, and Xu Lan had already made up nearly a hundred kinds of this fish in his mind, and even looked at the fish on the board and wanted to try it.

After a while, after Lu Mu handled the fish, she suddenly had a hard time.

For a while. She didn't even know what to do with the fish.

When she glanced at Xu Mu, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought that the dried fish she made was so delicious, so she asked:

"Mutter, what do you think we should eat this fish?"

"I thought it would be all stewed, but the fish was too big. We can't eat it as a family. ”

Xu Lan saw that the fish was fat and fresh, and he had a whimsical idea in his heart, and said to Lu Mu:

"Why don't we eat fish hot pot!"

"Fish hot pot?"

Lu Mu looked puzzled, she had heard of this hot pot, but this fish hot pot, forgive her for not having eaten it.

Can this fish also be used for shabu-shabu?

In Lu's mother's puzzled eyes, Xu Lan snatched the kitchen knife in her hand, picked up the apron that was placed aside, and put it on herself.

"Let's eat fish pot today, save time and effort, it just so happened that my mother and I bought so many dishes."

"This one is too cumbersome to do. Just throw it all into the pot and cook it, then dip it in tahini and eat it. ”

Xu Lan was extremely fast, and in a short time he cut the fish into thin slices, put it on a plate, and put it there for later use.
