Chapter 8

Laner's house.

Xia Xi cleans up the fish and controls the water.

Lan'er didn't have any time to spare. She panned rice and cooked. Looking at the rice at the bottom of the jar, she bit her teeth and scooped it out. At this time, fish is a precious thing. Xia Xi is willing to give it to them. They can't be too stingy.

The pillar leads Qi'er to the room. Qi'er sits on the stool of the main room and looks at the kitchen.

"Lan'er, do you have sugar at home?"

After a circle of seasoning, Xia Xi asked without sugar.

"There's some brown sugar in the main room. I'll get it."

Put down the work in hand, Lan'er quickly walked into the house, held a sugar can out, embarrassed to say, "this is when I just got married, my mother's family sent it, not much, sister-in-law see enough?"

"Just a little."

Looking at her baby's appearance, Xia Xi knows that sugar is a very precious thing in this era.

Although we know that using brown sugar to make fish is not as good as white sugar, there is no better way, so we have to make do with it.

Lan'er is relieved.

Xia Xi uses a knife to stroke the fish again. It tastes delicious for a while.

Ready, let Lan'er burn. When the pot is hot, pour in the oil. When the oil is hot, put the fish in it.

The fish should have been fried into golden yellow first, but the conditions here are limited, so we can only make do with it. It's a bit of that.

Qi'er smelled the smell of fish first, and couldn't help coming out of the room and looking at the kitchen door.

Column also did not resist, followed out, embarrassed to go to the kitchen door, standing in the hospital, straight nose.

"Sister-in-law, your fish is so delicious that my saliva will flow into the pot."

Lan'er also took a few deep breaths to make fun of Xia Xi.

"Now there is no good seasoning, so I can only make do with it. When the conditions are met, I will make real braised fish for you to eat, and keep your tongue down."

LAN Er laughs.

……

Fish good, out of the pot, took a basin Sheng, just end out, the pillar has been waiting in the kitchen door, took, carrying a stride into the house.

Lan'er finished the meal one by one and brought up the Wotou.

They sat down and smelled the smell of fish. The pillar couldn't wait. In front of Xia Xi, she was embarrassed to take chopsticks first and winked at her daughter-in-law.

Lan'er laughed and handed the chopsticks to Xia Xi and Qi'er, "sister-in-law, you eat first."

Xia Xi is not polite, sandwiched a small piece of fish into Qi'er bowl, Qi'er carefully ate a mouthful, a face of satisfaction, "really fragrant."

Zhu and Lan'er couldn't help swallowing their saliva and holding out their chopsticks.

As soon as I ate it, I couldn't stop. A fish soon came to the bottom. The pillar dipped a little soup in its Wotou, took a big bite and said vaguely,

"Sister in law, your fish is delicious."

Lan'er nodded with approval. They had eaten fish occasionally, but they had never tasted so delicious.

Qi'er boasted, "my mother's skill is good, and the roast fish is delicious."

LAN Er is surprised, "roast fish?"

Kiel nodded.

Lan'er doesn't know what to say. These days, a fish is worth a lot of copper. They roast it and eat it, "sister-in-law, you are really, really..."

It's really rich at home. Lan'er doesn't want to say what's going on.

Look at her look, you can see what she thinks in her heart. Xia Xi has plans in her heart and laughs, "there are plenty of fish in the river. You can eat them as you like."

Zhu almost didn't bite his tongue, and his eyes glared, "sister-in-law, you mean, this fish, this fish..."

Xia Xi nodded, "yes, I caught it from the river."

Bang!

Pillar hand remaining nest fell on the table, unbelievable looking at her.

The river near the village is very deep. In winter, there is a thick layer of ice. It takes a lot of effort to break the ice, let alone catch fish.

"Sister in law, sister in law, you, you are, how, how..."

The pillar stammered.

Lan'er was also surprised. In order to catch fish, er Niu in the village fell into the ice hole a few days ago. Fish did not catch, people almost can't, now still lying at home, how can Xia Xi catch the fish?

Xia Xi smile does not change, "I have the knack."

Pillar and Lan'er look at each other, open mouth to Xia Xi, want to ask her what know-how, and think of what, to the mouth of the words abruptly swallow back.

Xia Xi sees in the eye, quietly continues to say, "I today besides come to rub rice to eat, I also want to discuss a matter with you."

"Sister in law, you say."

"While it's dark, we can catch fish and sell them tomorrow."

……

Two quarters of an hour later, everyone finished eating.

Xia Xi collected the fish bones and scalded them with boiling water

After the preparation, the couple's eyes glowed with excitement.

The pillar was carrying a cane basket, and the four of them went straight to the river.

The village was so quiet that there was no one walking around, let alone by the river.

The light moonlight was shining on the river, white to the eye.

Order Lan'er and Qi'er to wait by the river. Xia Xi is in front of them, and the pillar follows them to the edge of the ice hole.

There is a thin layer of ice on the ice hole. Xia Xi signals the pillar to give him the chopper, and then carefully chisels the thin ice again. There are fish swimming underwater.

The pillar was so excited that his eyes were shining.

"Sister in law..."

The pillar shouts.

"Shh

Xia Xi motioned to him to keep his voice down, then spilled the mashed Wotou in the water.

The column can almost hear the sound of fish swimming, excited body are shaking, can't wait to take the basket, tied the rope to Xia Xi.

Xia Xi put the fish bone and the lump of sticky face on it, then sprinkled some Wotou dregs into the water, and then told the column in an almost inaudible voice, "slowly put it down, the strength should be light."

The pillar nodded.

They put the basket down slowly with their four hands. As soon as they touched the water, the fish ran away.

Xia Xi is not in a hurry. She signals the pillar to follow her own action, squats down slowly, makes the basket completely immersed in the water, and then stares at the water.

There are bold fish coming, one, two

See almost, Xia Xi a big drink, "rise!"

Two people at the same time, the basket quickly out of the water, and then throw to the river, three or four big fish straight jump on the river.

"It's done!"

The post almost jumped with excitement.

Lan'er carries the bucket, rushes to the ice and runs towards the fish. Kiel was right behind.

"Slow down, lest the ice break."

Xia Xi asked.

LAN Er puts light footstep in a hurry, but still can't restrain to excitedly walk very fast.

After wiping his hands on his clothes, the pillar blushed and said, "come again!"

They sprinkled the Wotou dregs in the water again, and they went down to the water according to the way they had just done.

Xu is frightened, two people wait for a long time, hands are frozen, only fish swim over.

……

Several times in a row, after catching more than a dozen fish, Xia Xi felt that it was almost done and stopped, "let's take them out tomorrow and see what the market is like?"
