After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 190 Chapter 181 Villager Approval

After rectifying, He Yu put all the fish he caught into the big iron basin.

Many fish have turned white, and many of them are floating on the water.
If dead fish are sold in towns, they generally won't sell for a good price, and once the fish dies, its price will be reduced by half.

If the time is too long, it will emit an unpleasant smell, which will cause fishmongers to sell the fish quickly and at a low price.

But it's different in the countryside. Who knows whether it was a dead fish or a live fish that was boiled in a pot.

"We caught so many fish, Xue'er has never seen so many fish! Uncle Yu, are we going to have a whole fish feast today?"

As soon as Xue'er finished speaking, the village head's voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"My boy, I caught quite a lot of fish. I'll take half of what you agreed to, I'm not welcome!"

The village chief took out the pockets he had prepared in advance, and then picked out larger fish and put them into the pockets.

Seeing this, He Yu didn't dare to say anything, after all, he borrowed those things before.

After choosing for a few minutes, the village head finally didn't take any more for He Yu, and he told the children, "Xiao Yu, don't you prepare well for the village meeting. I have already set the time, and your house probably There is a bottom!"

He Yu was very grateful, "The village chief will trouble you when the time comes, and I don't worry about your house, I don't worry, I just go over and take a look from time to time!"

"Just don't treat everyone badly!"

Although the wages are one yuan a day, if you offend the builders of these houses, it is not a trivial matter if you cut corners and materials for your house and something goes wrong.

The people in Longfeng Village are relatively poor. They don’t have much money and you ask them to compensate, but they really can’t afford it.

And it's useless for He Yu to ask for it.

"Of course it's well arranged, how can it be treated badly, and you are the employer, I can do whatever you want! And your place is considered good, just like building a house before, everyone can drink under the scorching sun A sip of water and a bowl of hot porridge are not bad, not only do you pay for it, but you also pay such a high salary, anyone is willing to do it, just because they are afraid that if this is done, there will be no money to take!"

"Of course, don't worry, everyone in our village is quite honest. It's just that some people like to play tricks. Don't mind. If you meet such a person, just pretend that he doesn't exist and don't listen to his nonsense. , if you ignore him, he won't come to provoke you!"

"By the way, Xiaoyu, where is my hoe? I thought everyone should farm the land, so I should set an example, and my family should also cultivate the land!"

"I lent it to Erzhu, and he said I would use it for your farming. I am in a hurry for this hoe, so you can give it to me now! After sunset, I will remove the grass in the field and loosen the soil. , the seeds can be planted almost tomorrow!"

This time, Mei Xue on the side was sweating for Uncle Yu, and all the hoes owned by the village chief's grandfather had been re-improved by Uncle Yu.

"Do you need it now?"

"That's for sure! You kid, give me the hoe. I'll catch some fish and I'll take it back. I'll have to feed those little guys then!"

When Mei Xue heard this, she quickly interjected and asked the village chief grandpa, "Grandpa village chief, don't you stay for dinner! Uncle Yu's fish is delicious. It's Xue Er, the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!"

"Girl, the village head grandpa can just take some fish back and don't eat it!"

The captain was kind and amiable to Mei Xue, and in the next second, he looked at He Yu with a dark face and told him to take out the hoe quickly, "Don't dawdle, I'll go back after I got the things!"

It's not that the village chief hates He Yu, but that his family really doesn't have enough. Every time something is missing, I ask the village chief if your house has it?I'll take whatever you have at home.

Can the village head be happy?Although he said that he didn't dislike the child He Yu, but when he came back and went back twice, he was out of sight and calm in his heart. He was at leisure when he didn't see He Yu, and he didn't worry about what dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs he would bring out in the next second.

Ever since He Yu came to Mei Sanniang's house, he had to have a good meal every now and then, such as big fish and prawns, big meat chickens and ducks, and they came here in different ways.

"Xiaoyu, you have been tired from fishing all morning today! Why don't you let me cook these fish? You go to rest. If you are really embarrassed, just help me." Xu Erzhu expressed his desire to see He Yu. craft.

But in the next second, Xu Erzhu was slapped in the face.

"Can you make cold crucian carp?"

Most of them know that the fish is boiled and then put some seasonings. He has never heard of this cold crucian carp.

"You are really a problem. How do you serve this fish cold? Could it be that we eat it raw?"

He Yu nodded.

At this time, Xu Erzhu was taken aback. He didn't dare to eat raw fish. After all, he had never eaten it before, and was it delicious?He didn't dare to try, so he quickly shook his head, expressing that he was very embarrassed.

Seeing Xu Erzhu's painful face, he laughed loudly, "Okay, I'm not joking with you, in fact, this cold crucian carp is only the surface layer of fish and is well cooked, but the internal organs inside cannot be eaten, so when we serve it cold The whole fish is served cold, without taking out the internal organs!"

"There is also crucian carp meat that can be eaten raw. It needs to be dipped in different sauces, and the taste will be slightly different. Raw fish meat will be a little sweet and tender, but fish with more spines like crucian carp, Most of them are not suitable for eating raw!"

"Sashimi like salmon meat and tuna meat can be eaten! That is, these fish are cut into thin slices without cooking, but choose to eat raw with different sauces!"

"Similarly, some livestock meat can also be used for sashimi, and it also depends on personal preference. Some people don't like to eat these raw fish meat, so cooked is better for them!"

Xu Erzhu had almost never heard of anyone who would eat raw fish. He would either grill the fish, or directly fry or deep-fry it.

"Xiaoyu sees that you don't eat it often. There are parasites in this fish. It's not good for your health. Don't do this in the future!"

"Well, brother Erzhu, thank you for your kindness, let me cook this thing! I'll finish the fish, and you will cook the other dishes, is that okay?"

Xu Erzhu wanted to show off his cooking skills, but He Yu didn't completely refuse, but the cold fish is indeed a skilled skill, if there is no skill, the cooked fish will not be able to maintain the original freshness and deliciousness.

And by doing this, he not only gave Xu Erzhu a step down, but also perfectly presented a cold fish dish.

"Brother Erzhu, help me chop some millet, spicy green peppers, and ginger and garlic, all chopped into fine pieces!"

"Okay!" Xu Erzhu moved very neatly, preparing all the materials, and He Yu was not idle here.

For river fish, the back and belly of crucian carp are cut separately, then ginger and soy sauce and other onions, ginger and garlic are mixed together to marinate, and then the fish is steamed.

Xu Erzhu also chopped the required seasonings into fine pieces, and He Yu took them and stir-fried them, and then poured in various seasonings.

After the fish was steamed, he poured all the ingredients on the surface of the fish. The moment the oil touched the crucian carp, there was a puffing sound when the water met the oil.

The simple steamed crucian carp is ready. It seems that the process is very simple, but in fact it takes a specified time during the steaming process.

And with the perfect ingredients, such a steamed crucian carp can be formed.

"I'll leave the home-cooked food behind Brother Er Zhu to you!"

"Leave everything to me, I'm already cooking the rice, so you don't have to worry!"

He Yu cooked a pot full of steamed crucian carp. There were only a few of them here, and it was enough to eat, so he picked a few and packed them.

"Xiaoyu, are you going to take a look at the house? I didn't get such a good treatment for helping other people build houses before, and I could even eat meat!"

He Yu smiled, and packed the crucian carp one by one.

Xu Erzhu looked at the plastic box specially used for packing, "When did you buy it? It's a waste of money. You spent a lot of money buying these things. From now on, just take some iron bowls from home. .”

"There is a big iron basin in the room where I put it, and you can put a lot of crucian carp in it! If you don't like dirty, wash it several times!"

When He Yu thought about it, it was probably a footbath.

"Then I'll go first, and you'll be busy first. I'll come back for dinner later!"

He Yu looked at the cooked white rice on the stove, he made an iron basin, and then took a bowl of white rice and crucian carp and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When he came to his small courtyard, the house already had a rough outline. He saw the busy figures of several strong men, and he shouted, "Everyone has a rest, drinks water, and eats!"

Cui Erwa was the first to stop what he was doing. He hurried to He Yu and looked at the fish and rice he brought. Half of the rice was covered with a thick layer of spicy cabbage.

"Today's food is really good, and there is fish!"

Cui Erwa couldn't help but sighed that the contents in this basin were so rich, so he glanced behind him and greeted everyone, "Everyone, come quickly, let's serve dinner!"

Then everyone stopped what they were doing and came to He Yu to take a share.

"Not bad!" The others were the first to be surprised. The taste of this fish is very tender and smooth, and this ingredient is especially suitable for rice.

Crucian carp, the so-called fish has more spines, He Yu warmly reminded everyone, "Be careful when you eat, this fish has more spines, and you can't eat the inner layer, you can only eat the outer layer!"

"Understood! Xiaoyu, don't say that your cooking skills are really good. This is better than those of the chefs at our banquet! I even wonder if you are from our place! I heard Erwa say that you are from other places. Come on! I thought you guys couldn't eat spicy food, but now I see that there are layers of peppers!"

While talking and laughing, He Yu took out another bottle, "Come on, this is my own sweet-scented osmanthus wine, try it!"

"Xiao Yu, when did you bring the sweet-scented osmanthus wine? Why don't we know? I didn't see you holding it just now!"

This is the short-sightedness of the villagers. Cui Erwa told everyone, "Xiao Yu is an excellent magician, and things in his hands can come and go freely. For example, the bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in front of you may appear in the next second." It's somewhere else!"

Everyone saw that He Yu was so good, since this magic must be very powerful, so they all believed it.

"Then you are not allowed to perform for us. If you have wine and food, you can't perform if you have food." Suddenly someone booed, wanting to watch He Yu perform magic tricks.

It doesn't matter to He Yu, it's just a little blindfold, things disappear out of thin air and appear out of thin air, this is a piece of cake for him, since everyone believes so, so he nodded, "If you don't mind, I will I can show my ugliness and show you one!"

Immediately afterwards, He Yu swiped his hand towards the sky, fisted and then stretched out a palm, and suddenly a wine glass appeared.

"Look!"

Everyone looked at the wine glass in He Yu's hand and applauded.

Then He Yu poured a glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine into the wine glass and filled it up.

Then he handed the osmanthus wine cup to one of the villagers.

"How about trying my sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

The man glanced at the wine in the glass, then took it, drank it down in one gulp, and when the glass was empty, He Yu took it back.

He put his palm on the wine glass, and then, he took a breath, opened his palm and found a glass full of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Everyone was surprised and clapped their hands quickly, "This..."

"Try it? See if it smells like the sweet-scented osmanthus wine you drank just now?"

He Yu handed the sweet-scented osmanthus wine to the man who had drank it all in one gulp before. The man took the glass again and took another sip. It was obvious that it contained sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

"This... this is really sweet-scented osmanthus wine! Xiao Yu, you are really amazing!"

"Let me just say, Xiao Yu is amazing!" Cui Erwa praised He Yu.

"Come, everyone, try more sweet-scented osmanthus wine!"

Right in front of everyone, He Yu blocked it with his palm, one wine glass became two wine glasses, and two wine glasses became three wine glasses.

He Yu filled the wine glasses one by one and distributed them to the villagers who helped him build the houses.

"Thank you for helping me build the house. This house already looks good. I believe that in the near future, a beautiful house should appear in our village! I will hold a banquet at that time, and you must have it Come and participate!"

Cui Erwa said boldly, "Of course!"

"Yes, we will all come to participate at that time. After your house is built, our village must be very good!"

At this time, many people began to appeal, "Xiaoyu, when the college meeting is held, we will definitely support you! This matter is not only beneficial to yourself, but also to everyone!"

"I used to think that it would be good if our village could eat enough. Now that I think about it so carefully, we have such a great resource and don't use it. Isn't this a waste?"

After He Yu enlightened Cui Erwa, and Cui Erwa enlightened everyone, many people thought that He Yu's decision was very good.

"I've told you before! He Yu is an educated person. He has read a lot of books and knows a lot. He is no better than us country people. The two of us are one-sided! We can't move our heads like that rusty Iron chain, can it turn if you don't oil it?"

"Cui Erwa, don't say that you really found a good job for us. Although the building of the house is a bit tiring, it's true to hold the things in your heart and eat them! This time You really didn't cheat our brother."
