Chapter 54: Playing Mustard
The strength of the fish in the water is very great, and Jiang Xingchen directly dragged the animal tendon line, so that his palms hurt, and it took a long time to pull the fish up.
"Brother, this fish is so big!" Mei'er cheered in surprise, holding Jiang Xingchen's arm, staring at the fish that was still fluttering on the ice, and was excited.
"It's not small!" Jiang Xingchen also laughed, this fish is at least more than three catties, Zhou Xiong said that it is called a silver carp, the appearance is similar to that of a silver carp, but the body of the fish is more round, it looks hard, obviously the meat is very tight, very liliang, and it jumps very high when it flutters.
"Fortunately, knowing the development of the formation, my strength has increased a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to consume it. Jiang Xingchen was secretly glad and beckoned Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong to step forward and hold down the fish god, and he took off the fish hook.
At this time, Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong looked at Jiang Xingchen's gaze a little fanatical: "How long is this brain, why don't we have it, just have an idea, Young Master Sun got up, and now his status in the family is increasing day by day...... As a man, he actually went to perform singing and dancing, and he also won an unprecedented evaluation, obtained a knighthood, and divided the territory...... In this winter, you can catch fish, if you sell them to a restaurant......"
When the two worshipped, Jiang Xingchen put the fish hook into the ice cave again, and then held the little girl in his arms, held her little hand, and waited together.
The little girl's face turned red, and she glanced at Qian Feng and them, and her eyes were staring at the ice cave, her expression was very excited.
"Ahh......h......h
After catching four fish in a row, Jiang Xingchen didn't dare to let the little girl play anymore, after all, this is also physically exhausting. Ignoring Mei'er's opposition with a puffed up little face, he resolutely pushed her behind him.
continued to fish, and seeing that there was movement again, Jiang Xingchen was about to pull the line.
"Brother!" Suddenly, a shout sounded in his ears, and he was so engrossed in preparing to lift the string that he almost jumped in fright, and of course the fish ran away!
"This girl!" Jiang Xingchen turned around angrily. But when he turned his face, a fish head was facing him, and the fish's mouth was open and round.
"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen was startled again, and swiped his feet, so that he couldn't hang and fall.
"Giggle...... the little girl let out a string of cheerful laughs, threw the fish in her hand, turned and ran away.
"Little girl, you give me zhanzhu!" Jiang Xingchen got up angrily and ran after him.
Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong looked at the two brothers and sisters who were fighting, and they had an extremely harmonious and warm feeling in their hearts......
In the morning, they caught more than a dozen fish, most of which were more than three catties. There is only one species of fish.
On the way back, Mei'er, who was sitting in the carriage, had not yet recovered from the excitement, her little face was flushed, she had never played so happily before.
Jiang Xingchen looked at Mei'er happily and was very happy. The reason why he only took Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong out today, and didn't call friends, was to make the little girl have fun! Mei'er was very quiet in front of outsiders, and only familiar people could she let go, and the whole Hongyuan City, in addition to herself, she was more familiar with Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong!
"Brother, how did you come up with the idea of fishing in this way?" asked the little girl in the carriage suddenly.
"Stupid!" Jiang Xingchen knocked her on the head with a smile and said, "You forgot, my brother told you that after taking fake medicine, you had strange dreams......
said this in his mouth, but Jiang Xingchen secretly said in his heart: "If it weren't for the Sensitivity Array and the Knowing Array, without fishing rods, floats and plumbs, how could I have such a great ability, I can fish with a beast tendon line!"
"Ahh......h
Immediately after, Mei'er's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Doesn't that mean that my brother still knows a lot of interesting things?"
"Of course, my brother told you, there are a lot of fun things, and I will play with you in the future!" Jiang Xingchen gently stroked Mei'er's long hair, and couldn't help but think of that snowy night again.
"Yes, my brother said it......" Mei'er quieted down, and her mind also appeared in the hazy scene of that snowy night, her brother took her to see a doctor, and hugged herself to talk.
"Brother, will you always play with Mei'er in the future?" The little girl's body slowly tilted and gently leaned on Jiang Xingchen's shoulder.
"Always, as long as Mei'er likes it!" Jiang Xingchen reached out and hugged the little girl's thin shoulders, the whole shijie, he only has this one relative, this kind of mutual dependence warmth, he never wants to lose.
"Hee-hee......" the little girl suddenly laughed.
"Little girl, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"I'm thinking ......" A strange picture appeared in Mei'er's mind, which was the scene of two gray-haired old men, fishing and having fun together on the ice.
However, before she could tell this picture, Jiang Xingchen suddenly shouted: "Wait! Qian Feng, stop!"
"Ah!" Mei'er was stunned and asked in surprise, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xingchen lifted the curtain and pointed to a small pale yellow flower on the slope in the distance: "Look!"
When the carriage was bumpy just now, the curtain of the carriage was lifted in a corner, and his vision caught a glimpse. It was already winter, and it was still blooming, and at the same time, he was surprised, and at the same time, an idea came to him.
"Well, there are a lot of leaves in the field, and the leaves are still edible, in our village, many families have no food in winter, so they all pick that leaf to eat!" said Mei'er.
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, pulled Mei'er out of the carriage, and ran towards the position of the flower.
"Brother, what are you going to do, we have rice and noodles at home, we don't need to eat this......" Mei'er said as she ran along.
However, when she arrived at the place, her doubts immediately turned into surprise! her brother actually plucked the flower, knitted a wreath with his own hands, and put it on his head.
"It's so beautiful!" Jiang Xingchen stood opposite the little girl, looked up and down, left and right, and then praised with a smile.
Now the little girl has been recuperating for many days, the original yellow hair has become black, the little face has no sallow color, the white skin is much more delicate, and the cheeks have brought out a little ruddy, although she is still thin, but she is indeed much more beautiful.
The little girl pursed her lips tightly and forced a shy smile, but the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
But at this moment, Jiang Xingchen suddenly said again: "I'm talking about garlands!"
The little girl was stunned, and immediately pursed her lips, and shouted angrily: "Brother~" pounced directly.
"Hahahaha......" Jiang Xingchen dodged, but he was afraid that the little girl would fall, so he dodged twice and obediently let her catch it.
"Okay, okay! Brother is wrong, it's Mei'er who is beautiful! I was joking with you just now!" let the little girl punch twice, Jiang Xingchen hurriedly begged for mercy.
The little girl wasn't really angry, but when she saw him admit her mistake, her bulging little mouth slowly returned to its original state. But immediately after, her eyes rolled, and two cold little hands suddenly stretched out from Jiang Xingchen's neck.
"Woo~" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and swooped out, but he staggered under his feet and kicked up a large piece of dirt!
"Hmph, see if you dare to play with me!" the little girl raised her two little hands proudly and waved.
However, at this time, Jiang Xingchen did not react, and his eyes stared directly at the ground in front of him.
"Hmm!" Mei'er was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic appeared on her little face, and she hurriedly went over and grabbed Jiang Xingchen's arm: "Brother, are you really angry...... Mei'er will ...... in the future"
"No!" Jiang Xingchen turned his head and smiled, rubbed the top of Mei'er's head, and said, "Brother is not angry, he just found something!"
"Ah, what did you find?" the little girl's mind was immediately taken to another direction with Jiang Xingchen's words.
"That's it!" Jiang Xingchen took two steps forward and picked up a round thing from the ground, which was still covered with dirt, and he couldn't tell what it was.
"What is this?" asked Mei'er.
"This is called mustard pimple! In the past, the villagers only ate leaves, which is considered to be the last resort!" Jiang Xingchen laughed, he didn't expect that he would find this thing, and thanks to the dodge Mei'er just now, he kicked a piece of dirt away.
"I didn't expect this thing to grow in winter!" Jiang Xingchen didn't know before that mustard greens could also grow in winter, and in his impression, only plum blossoms bloomed in winter, and Chinese cabbage also had in winter. As for mustard greens, he knows that pickled pickles and mustard are all good, cold mustard shreds are very refreshing, and mustard seeds are ground into flour, which is mustard.
At the thought of mustard, he immediately rummaged through the ground again, especially the flowers! Sure enough, it wasn't long before he found some black mustard seeds!
Seeing her brother plowing the ground here, Mei'er kept looking at him strangely, and the two Qian Feng in the distance saw that he hadn't returned for a long time, so they also hurriedly ran over, and then looked at him working there in a daze!
It wasn't until Jiang Xingchen straightened up that Mei'er asked, "Brother, are you looking for that mustard lump, that thing can really be eaten?"
"Hehe, little girl, you'll know when you go back...... After a few days, the pickles are pickled, and then they are served with rice porridge, then it will be comfortable to eat!" Jiang Xingchen said proudly.
"Really!" Mei'er's eyes lit up, she was a little hungry after playing all morning, and when she heard about eating, she couldn't help pursing her lips.
And after Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong heard it, there was a thunderous gurgling sound in their stomachs.
"Dig a few more, let's go back!" Jiang Xingchen patted Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong, who were a little embarrassed, and dug up a few mustard gnocchi.
When a few people got into the carriage and went back, in the kitchen of Jiang Xingchen's house, a thin old man in a shabby cotton robe was shining with bright eyes, patrolling around.
After a long time, the little old man shook his head regretfully: "This kid is not here, and there is nothing to eat in the kitchen, it is really a trip for nothing...... Come back in the evening, I hope this kid's craftsmanship is really as outstanding as the first snow girl said...... It's strange to look at this stove, this kid shouldn't let me down!"
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a small jar of water warm on the small stove next to the big stove, so he went up and copied the jar and poured it violently.
"Ha~" wiped his lips, and the little old man said, "I ate a little too many buns in the morning...... But it tastes really good...... and then it disappears without a trace!
