As soon as Osmanthus entered the yard, she suddenly felt that her belly was grumbling.

But she didn't have the heart to eat right now, and the most important thing for her now was to make the fish quickly.

Cooking fish is slow, and even the simplest of ways to do it takes more time than stir-frying.

"Third brother, you go and split the wood! I'll remove the scales. Chu Lixin wiped the sweat from his face and beckoned Chu Lishou to chop wood.

Chu Lishou didn't object, nodded and walked to the side to chop wood, while Chu Lixin sat on a wooden bench in the courtyard and began to scrape the fish scales with a wooden stick.

When Osmanthus came out of the kitchen to check whether the fish scales were scraped off, he found that his father was doing hard work, and the fourth uncle was doing technical work, and he was immediately a little unhappy.

However, after she noticed Chu Lixin's embarrassment of scraping fish scales, she realized that this arrangement was actually taking advantage of her father.

"Fourth uncle, what are you doing here?" Osmanthus couldn't help but walk up to Chu Lixin's side, smiling and watching Chu Lixin helplessly deal with the slippery live fish.

"Go to the fish scales!" Although Chu Lixin looked like he was facing a great enemy, he still patiently explained to Osmanthus: "These fish scales, not to mention, if you throw it in the pot and eat it, it will not taste good!" I really can't figure out why those rich masters like to eat such strange things. ”

Osmanthus couldn't help laughing, her fourth uncle's serious appearance really didn't look ordinary cute.

In order to prevent the fourth uncle's project of scraping the fish scales from delaying the progress of the overall cooking, Osmanthus decided to take matters into her own hands to deal with these seven or eight live fish that were difficult to handle.

got up and walked back to her house, Osmanthus took out the scissors that Mo did the work on weekdays, and sat beside Chu Lixin with a small bench, and before Chu Lixin could catch her, she reached out first and grabbed a fish.

At this time, the fish is not too big, and the largest is only as long as the little arm of the osmanthus, so that the osmanthus can also hold it.

"Osmanthus, what are you doing here? Don't get your clothes dirty! Chu Lixin thought that Osmanthus took the fish to play, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop her.

But Osmanthus didn't react at all, but pressed the fish to the ground, held the scissors with her backhand, and knocked the position of the scissors towards the fish's head a few times.

The fresh fish that was originally alive and fluttered was beaten by the osmanthus and fainted.

In Chu Lixin's surprised expression of opening his mouth wide, Osmanthus calmly pulled the basin of water placed aside to his feet, held the fish with his left hand, opened the scissors with his right hand, and began to scrape the fish scales.

Watching the fish scales fall from the fish's body in pieces like snowflakes, Chu Lixin couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.

It wasn't until Osmanthus went to get the second fish and was about to knock out the stun that Chu Lixin reacted and asked stupidly: "Osmanthus, who did you learn this craft from?" ”

Craft?

Chu Lixin's words made the serious work of Osmanthus stunned, and looked up at the fourth uncle with an adoring face, Osmanthus finally couldn't help but laugh again, "Fourth uncle, I didn't learn from anyone, it's just that when I was by the water before, I saw others making fish, and I just watched it." Try it or not, it's easy. ”

As he spoke, Osmanthus handed the scissors to Chu Lixin and motioned for Chu Lixin to learn.

"No, you, you get it, I'll go to the house and get another handful." Chu Lixin said, threw the fish in his hand back into the water, got up and ran to his house.
