Chapter 16 Zhu Yuanzhang: Mei Yin must have suffered a lot in the countryside
Mei Yin skillfully removed the scales and gills of the four fish she brought back, and removed the internal organs.
These things were not wasted, they were thrown into the pot where the pigs were fed, and the pigs improved their lives.
Pigs are also meat-eating and belong to omnivores.
If there are conditions to feed the pigs, occasionally a little meat will make the pigs grow better.
After seeing Mei Yin throw these fish offals and other things in, one big, two small and three pigs immediately got up.
Hurriedly came to the basin, and you fought for me to eat.
At this time, they move quickly and don't look like pigs.
After a while, they were all eaten.
Mei Yin cleaned a few fish, chopped the smallest of them, salted it, and then put it in the pot and began to stew.
After a while, the pot boiled, and the smell of fish began to permeate.
It's a pity that I don't have sauerkraut or chili peppers, but if I have these things, I can cook a big pot of delicious sauerkraut fish.
Black fish is simply a perfect match for sauerkraut fish.
As for the remaining three fish, Mei Yin took advantage of this effort to marinate them with salt, and hung them on the beams of the house with rattan.
At this time, without a refrigerator, he could not eat the fish for a while, so he could only store it in this way.
When Mei Yin was just doing this, there was a shout outside: "Is Mr. Mei there?" ”
This voice Mei Yin felt a little familiar, but time didn't tell who it was.
He agreed, and hurriedly went out.
When I saw the person, I recognized it at once.
This is the man who fished by the river and said that he would stop catching and divide a fish for himself at noon.
This person looks like he is thirty or forty years old, his surname is Zhang, and he doesn't remember what his specific name is Mei Yin.
At this time, this Uncle Zhang, holding some wooden planks in his arms and carrying these tools in his hands, came over.
Mei Yin didn't have any shelves, so she hurriedly called Uncle Zhang and put this Uncle Zhang into the house.
Uncle Zhang put everything in his hand at the door.
People followed Mei Yin in.
When I came to the house, I smelled the fragrance.
"Mr. Mei is going to have lunch?"
Even though he had tried his best to hide it, there was still some surprise in his voice.
Mei Yin said: "I've been busy for most of the day, and I'm a little hungry, so I'll make Uncle Zhang eat here for a while." ”
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he secretly swallowed some saliva, but he still shook his head resolutely and said:
"No, I've only eaten in the morning, and I'm not hungry at this time."
When he said this, he also recognized more and more in his heart that Mei Yin was a scholar.
And it's the kind of extraordinary origin.
In this day and age, ordinary people have two meals a day.
Only when the farm is busy and you need to exert your strength, the food is dried, and it is usually thin.
Even some of the small landlords in these places are also two meals a day, and they are reluctant to eat more.
As a result, this Mr. Mei has three meals a day!
It still looks so natural.
If nothing else, it can be seen from this alone that Mr. Mei's background must be extraordinary.
Ordinary people can't afford to eat three meals a day!
"Uncle Zhang, come as soon as you come, what are you doing with those things?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head when he heard this: "I don't mean anything else, I just know that your conditions here are not good." Not even a single door or window.
It just so happens that I still have some wood in my house, so I'll take it over and make do with it, and see if I can make you a sub-door and window out.
In this winter, you can't do it without doors and windows. ”
Mei Yin knew that although this Uncle Zhang also loves to catch fish, he has a carpentry skill.
Mei Yin didn't say anything more, and hurriedly thanked him: "Uncle Zhang, you are here in a timely manner!" ”
After sleeping all night yesterday, he had enough of suffering without doors and windows.
Uncle Zhang faced Mei Yin's thanks, and waved his hand again and again to show that it was just a gesture.
He doesn't have much ability, he can't help Mei Yin a lot, he can only do what he can.
As soon as Mei Yin and Uncle Zhang were talking, this aunt came outside again, holding some cakes in her hand.
After the aunt came over, the rest of the people from Shuangshui Village came one after another.
Not empty-handed.
Some brought a few eggs, while others carried a load of firewood and grass.
Some of them carried some food.
Some, like Uncle Zhang, brought some wood.
After a while, Mei Yin was full of a lot of things.
"Third Brother Zhang, you know how to be a carpenter, I don't have this skill, but I know how to make a stove.
Let's take a few hands, and let's put up Mr. Mei's stove together.
There is no stove in the house, and it is inconvenient to cook, not like a home. ”
The person who spoke was Zhao Jiachang's younger brother, Second Uncle Zhao.
There are also some diligent aunts and aunts who help Mei Yin clean the yard well.
Mei Yin was really moved.
In other words, he distributed the fish to these people in Shuangshui Village before this, just thinking that he had come to Shuangshui Village for the first time, and he had this very good fishing technique.
Getting these fish was a no-brainer for him.
Send one to each family, and get along here in the future and make a good relationship.
Who would have thought that these people would return back so quickly!
"Uncle, aunt, aunt...... You...... You're so gracious! ”
Even if it was Mei Yin, she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Why is Mr. Mei so polite? From now on, you will be a member of Shuangshui Village.
Shouldn't we live together and take care of each other? ”
"That's it! Mr. Mei, when you brought fish to my family just now, we didn't give you such politeness.
I just accepted it. ”
"That's it!"
While everyone said, they helped Mei Yin with their hands and feet.
With their help, Mei Yin's place soon became very different.
These are the people of the country!
The people who live here are fierce and simple, full of some calculations with small bellies and chicken intestines, but they are full of human touch.
If you are good to them, most people will be good to you.
If you can integrate into it, you can feel the many conveniences brought by this human affection.
In the face of these enthusiastic Shuangshui Village villagers, what else can Mei Yin say?
I can only eat quickly and fill my stomach.
Then he called a few more men, and took his tools and went out to fish.
Before leaving, he told everyone that he would not leave tonight and eat at his place.
If any of them were gone, he wouldn't be happy.
I just want him to go door-to-door and invite them again!
……
At night, in Mei Yin's small courtyard, several bonfires were lit.
The smell of fish fills the air.
Mei Yin, under the hospitality of some aunts and aunts, made a whole fish feast.
Although there are not many cooking samples, the main one is a large amount of filling.
The old and young masters of Shuangshui Village are all here, and they gather here to eat and drink, which is particularly lively.
Even if Mei Yin told them that they would take care of their own meals tonight, many people didn't just eat Mei Yin.
For example, the two jars were a little turbid with sour and astringent liquor, which was moved by Zhao Jiachang.
There were also some cakes, and some of the rest of their food, which some of the villagers had brought from their homes......
……
Late at night, Mei Yin lay on the bed and began to sleep.
There was a whirring wind outside, but not much cold wind had penetrated into the house.
Newly built windows and doors have been installed to keep the cold out.
Looking at the doors and windows by the moonlight outside, as well as the newly renovated room, the corners of Mei Yin's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
It seems that this life in Shuangshui Village is more comfortable than I imagined.
These villagers in Shuangshui Village are very humane in doing things......
……
Wu Yingdian, Zhu Yuanzhang finally finished correcting the last recital.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and stretched his waist for a long time.
There was a crackling sound on his body.
"How's Mei Yin's bastard doing?
Have you suffered all the hardships? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to remember something, and turned his head to ask out loud.
With some joy in my heart.
When he asked this, he had already confirmed that Mei Yin was definitely not doing well......
