Chapter 61: The Kite Goes to the Upper Hand
The two walked to the ferry by the stream, and when the boatmen on the boat saw someone coming, they all stood up and greeted them warmly.
"I want that one", Shan Gui pointed to the third fishing boat, on which stood a middle-aged couple, very simple.
Seeing that Shan Gui pointed at them, the two of them laughed even more, and soon drove the boat over.
There were some water stains on the boat, Shan Zhuo looked at her new embroidered shoes, and was a little reluctant to step on them, Gu Tong looked at her hesitant appearance, quite puzzled.
But the woman, looking at the obviously newly worn shoes on Shanzhu's feet, dragged the fishing net next to her, and put it on the water, and Shangui saw it, smiled happily at her, and stepped on it very simply.
She laughed so hard that the woman couldn't stop laughing, and the woman secretly thought: This Langjun is already rare and good-looking, and this lady is so good-looking.
The fisherman eagerly wiped the table and chairs and invited them to sit down.
"Lang Jun, what do you want to eat? These fish and shrimp are all freshly caught, and they are all jumping around in the bucket!"
Shan Gui was curious when he heard it, so he hurriedly lifted his skirt and went to the bucket to open his eyes and look at it, there was a group of lively crayfish in the bucket, and Shan Gui wanted to reach out to catch it, but he was caught in it.
Shan Gui was in pain, snorted into the bucket, didn't go to play anymore, came back to sit in a puff, Gu Tong looked funny, and turned his head to ask the fishing boss.
"Can you catch mandarin fish today?"
"Yes", the fisherman responded, turned his head and called the woman to lift the mandarin fish, "The general has caught a big one, and Lang Jun is in a hurry." At this time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the mandarin fish at this time is also called 'peach blossom mandarin fish', which is the most fat and tender!"
Shan Gui saw that the woman had caught a big yellow-brown fish with a big and ugly mouth.
"That's it, fry another plate of cabbage", Gu Tong responded to him.
"Lang Jun, how do you make this mandarin fish?
Gu Tong thought about it, the steamed mandarin fish is lighter after all, Shan Gui shouldn't like it, the squirrel mandarin fish is sweet and sour, the juice is fragrant, "It's good to be a squirrel mandarin fish", Gu Tong replied again.
The fisherman gave a thumbs up at this time, "Lang Jun is a person who knows how to eat!" ”
Shan Gui saw that the fisherman had entered the cabin, and then went to the stern of the boat, and took the fish from the woman's hand.
I saw him put the fish on the cutting board, stunned the fish with the back of his knife, neatly cut off the head of the fish, and scraped the scales clean with three strokes and five divisions.
Frightened, Shan Gui hurriedly covered his eyes.
But she couldn't help but be curious, and peeked through her fingers.
The fisherman cut the head of the fish into the knife from below, separated the two sides outwards and buckled them on the cutting board, chopped them into diamond-shaped knife patterns neatly, and evenly smeared dry starch in every crevice.
The woman beside her had already heated the oil in the pot, and as soon as the smoke rose, the fisherman lifted the tail of the fish with his hands and feet, shook off the excess dry starch, and rolled the fish into the shape of a squirrel.
Then the woman took the fish, hung the tail above the wok with the tail in one hand, scooped up the hot oil with a large spoon in the other, and poured it evenly over the fish and fried it until it was set.
I saw that she made another pot, put in the chives and fried it, and then put minced garlic, mushroom cubes, and peas into it, and with a "snort", the sauce mixed with hot oil was poured on the fried fish, which immediately aroused the fragrance.
Shan Gui's hands don't cover his eyes at this time!
She learned from Gu Tong to hold a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and excitedly watched this squirrel mandarin fish come to the table hot, and her eyes refused to blink.
Regardless of the heat, she divided the chopsticks into two, held one in one hand, and stuck it on the mandarin fish, and pulled hard, but she couldn't clip the fish off.
"Don't panic", seeing that she didn't know how to use chopsticks, Gu Tong took a pair of chopsticks alone, sandwiched a lot of fish meat for her, and piled the small bowl like a hill, and was afraid that she would be choked by the fish bones, so he picked out the fish bones that could be seen, and handed them to her.
"Although there are few mandarin fish bones, you should eat slowly. ”
Shan Gui was very obedient, took the bowl, followed Gu Tong's appearance, and ate gently, but the speed was not slow, and soon a small pile of thorns was set up on the table.
This is the woman bringing another pot of pea porridge.
"Lang Jun, lady, the peas in this spring are the freshest, the slave boiled the peas over low heat until crispy, and took the sugar osmanthus and sugar roses made in the last year, mixed them with cold boiled water into juice, poured them on it and mixed well, you try, keep it fine and sweet, just to relieve greasy. ”
"Yes", the fisherman at the stern of the boat heard it and echoed loudly, "My aunt's bowl of pea porridge is cooked well at the top of ten miles and eight towns!"
The woman spat in his direction, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
After the two finished their meal, Shan Gui burped, stroked her somewhat bulging belly, "delicious", blowing the breeze from the stream, she sighed with satisfaction, feeling that the fruits she had eaten before were gone.
Her eyes rolled slightly, thinking about how she often coaxed Gu Tong to bring her to eat in the future.
"You eat a little too much, your stomach will not be able to stand it if you go on like this, sit for a while, and I will take you to buy some hawthorn cakes." ”
As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Shan Gui couldn't sit still and was about to leave immediately.
Gu Tong glared at her slightly, scaring her so much that she sat down on the stool honestly, "Rest for a while and then leave." ”
The fisherman came over to remit the money, looked at this scene, and joked with a smile, "Lang Jun loves a heavy lady, this has just finished eating, and it really needs to be digested." ”
What love is heavy or not, Shan Gui doesn't understand, although he still sits on the stool, he seems to be sitting on the fire, moving for a while, and his feet are shaking, refusing to settle down.
When the rest was almost over, Gu Tong took Shan Gui away, and the two of them said a bunch of kind words, looking forward to the two of them coming back next time.
Walking to the grass by the stream, Shan Gui saw a man and a woman standing in front of him, the man held a few wild flowers in his hand, and the hairpin was next to the woman's sideburns, "Xiangxiang, I like you." ”
Shan Zhuo watched from the side and quietly asked Gu Tong: "What do you mean by 'I am pleased with you'?"
"Well, it's just that this man wants to be with this woman all the time", Gu Tong also looked at them, feeling that this mortal's relationship was very beautiful.
After not listening to Shan Gui's answer for a long time, Gu Tong turned his head sideways and saw her squatting on the grass looking for something.
Gu Tong also squatted down and asked her, "What are you looking for?"
Shan Gui didn't answer, pulled out a few grasses, and inserted them in his hair like a cat, "I also like you, Shan Gui wants to be with you all the time, but I didn't look for flowers, you are not allowed to pick this grass." ”
Gu Tong smiled, thinking about the last time she asked herself if she could always be by his side, what she thought was 'Xinyue', that's what it meant, right?
Thinking that she would grow old and die, Gu Tong felt some indescribable melancholy in his heart.
At this time, a group of children in the general corner dispersed from school, and sure enough, they came over with paper kites, they laughed and put the paper kites into the air, Shan Gui refused to go any further, and dragged Gu Tong to stand in place and watch for a long time.
"I want to fly too", Shan Gui pointed to the paper kite in the sky, and his eyes were full of envy.
Gu Tong couldn't help her, and when those little boys wanted to disperse and go home, he found a little boy and exchanged it for a butterfly paper kite, "You stand on it", Shan Gui stood up as he said.
Seeing that there was no one nearby, Gu Tong stretched out his right hand, palm up, and the paper kite flew up steadily holding the mountain, "I added a protective cover around, don't move." ”
Shan Gui was very happy to see that she was slowly moving away from the ground, she listened to everything Gu Tong said, and stood obediently on the paper kite, only staring wide-eyed, looking around curiously.
Gu Tong put the thread in his hand, the paper kite flew higher and higher, and the cheers of the mountain rose poured into his ears in pieces, "Higher, higher, the sky is so beautiful, hey, Gu Tong, you have become so small!"
The mountain roses were blowing the wind in mid-air, and they saw the peach blossoms and pear blossoms on the mountainside in the distance, and sure enough, as Gu Tong said, they were as red as the sun and as white as snow.
She only felt that this was the happiest time of her life, happier than sitting on the back of a nine-colored deer through the dense forest, and the laughter spread far and wide, and it was all worry-free.
