Reborn in 70s to marry a big man, Jiaojiao has one child after another

There is strength in numbers. Not only the men in the brigade went down, but also the educated youths, who had not figured it out or wanted to eat fish. Except for a few female educated youths, they all went down to help.

By evening, almost all the fish have been caught.

No one wanted the remaining small miscellaneous fish, so the children saw the opportunity and brought their own small baskets to pick it up.

If you are lucky and quick, you can pick up most of the basket. When you get home, you can pack it up, dry it in an iron pot over a low heat, and sprinkle it with a layer of chili powder. It is a rare delicacy.

Xu Ningyan likes to eat this small fish. It is fried until crispy and sprinkled with Sichuan peppercorns and chili powder. It is fragrant and crispy and can be chewed even to the bones.

So I exchanged fruit candies for a basket with those children.

Some of the fish in the brigade were very neat. When they were caught, they were already sorted according to species and size.

After weighing, the work points and heads are divided.

Basically, each family can get a large fish, paired with some medium-sized fish, as well as crucian carp and miscellaneous fish.

Xu Ningyan also shared a grass carp, a big-bellied carp, some crucian carp and miscellaneous fish.

She didn't like to eat carp. She always felt that carp had an earthy smell and the meat was not tender, so she simply exchanged the carp for a few palm-sized crucian carp and went home.

Those educated youths, although each of them did not have much work points, but after all the educated youth points were put together, a few large grass carp, and a small half of a pot of crucian carp and miscellaneous fish were sent back.

This night, the smell of fish wafted over the Unity Brigade.

When I got home, fortunately, the heating stove at home had not been turned off, and there was a pot of hot water sitting on it.

Gu Zhiyuan was covered in mud and dirt, so he cleaned it up by the river first. The cold and biting river water made his face turn blue from the cold.

Xu Ningyan had poured hot water for him a long time ago. He went into the house to find some clean clothes, and took a bath in the thatched shed next to him. He finally felt refreshed.

While he was taking a bath, Xu Ningyan made a bowl of brown sugar ginger water. He smashed the thick old ginger and threw it away. A large piece of brown sugar and three bowls of water were boiled into a large bowl. He urged Gu Zhiyuan to drink it while it was hot. , the whole person came to life, and the face also had blood.

They would have to clean up those small fish later, so Xu Ningyan made a simple dinner, a pot of stewed rice with bacon and potatoes, and fried spinach.

After finishing the meal, we started to pack up the fish we were given.

The divided grass carp and crucian carp were thrown into the free water tank as soon as they came back, and the water was poured in to keep them first.

The two soft-shell turtles and a turtle were also thrown into the small wooden basin and would be picked up when they had time.

Mainly to clean up small miscellaneous fish.

There are a lot of them and they are small, so it is troublesome to clean them up. If you are bigger, use scissors to scrape off the tiny fish scales, then cut a hole in the belly under the gills, squeeze out the fish's internal organs with your fingers.

For smaller ones, just pinch the belly of the fish with your fingernails, and the fish's internal organs will come out.

The dog-legged man smelled the fishy smell and circled around, licking all the fish offal that Xu Ningyan had collected.

Fortunately, Gu Zhiyuan came back with enough batteries, turned on a flashlight, and lit candles. The two of them worked until seven or eight o'clock before they finished cleaning up these small fish.

Regarding the cleaning matter, Gu Zhiyuan would not let Xu Ningyan do anything.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the river water was freezing cold. He, a grown man, was shivering with cold, let alone Xu Ningyan, a girl?

When something happened to me before, the painful look was still vivid in my mind.

So I took the packed basket of fish and went to the river to wash them with a flashlight.

Xu Ningyan just let Gu Zhiyuan wash it. Anyway, she wasn't going to eat the fish alone. It was for two people to eat, so naturally they both did it together.

I tidied up the kitchen and used plant ashes to cover the place where I had just collected the fish, so as to get rid of the fishy smell.

Then I washed my hands with hot water and soaped them several times. There was still a faint fishy smell in the gaps between my fingers.

Xu Ningyan had no choice.

After Gu Zhiyuan cleaned the fish, Xu Ningyan sprinkled salt evenly on the small fish, stirred it with chopsticks, and mixed the salt and fish evenly.

Then fasten the dustpan and put a brick on top to prevent mice from eating it.

After marinating all night, the next morning, although the sky was still a little gloomy, it looked like it was going to clear up.

The marinated small fish are dried in the sun, half fried and half dried.

The yard was filled with the aroma of fried small fish and a fishy smell.

The freshly fried fish is fragrant, crispy and hot. Sprinkled with a layer of chili powder, it's a treat.

Xu Ningyan couldn't help but eat a few first, then called Gu Zhiyuan in, took one and handed it to him for him to eat.

Gu Zhiyuan's hands were wet with water, and he lowered his eyelids. Instead of reaching out to catch it, he lowered his head and lowered his body, opened his mouth to catch the fried fish, chewed it twice, and showed approval: "It tastes so good!"

Xu Ningyan was a little uncomfortable. It felt as if she was feeding Gu Zhiyuan with her own hands.

But when I heard his compliment, I immediately put aside my discomfort and puffed out my chest with a smile on my face: "It's delicious! There will be a kang kang in a while, which will give you another flavor!"

Gu Zhiyuan smiled and agreed: "Then I'll wait to try it."

After saying that, before leaving, Xu Ningyan signaled to Xu Ningyan to feed two fried fish that had just come out of the pan, and then went out satisfied.

I don't know what he was doing outside, but he only heard the sound of scrubbing. Xu Ningyan didn't take it seriously, thinking that Gu Zhiyuan was washing clothes.

After she finished frying the small fish, the kang was ready, and she came out with two small bamboo baskets filled with fish.

He saw Gu Zhiyuan staring at a place in trance.

After walking over for a few steps, I lowered my head, oh wow!She was also dumbfounded!

What's that on the back of the turtle that's half the size of a washbasin on the ground?

There are some black lines on the tawny turtle's back, which is not surprising!What’s strange is that these lines look like a cursive character for longevity!

Looking at the age of this turtle, it feels like it is at least several hundred years old!

The turtle shell on the back has such a naturally formed longevity pattern. In future generations, this will be the favorite of those big shots who like Feng Shui.

But in this era, it’s hard to say.

Xu Ningyan came close to Gu Zhiyuan and stuffed a small dried fish into his mouth. He also stuffed one into his own mouth. He chewed the dried fish in his mouth and made a crunching sound. Occasionally, there was a crunching sound, indicating that he had bitten it off. The voice of a small fish bone: "Can I keep this turtle?"

Gu Zhiyuan thought for a while: "Keep it for now, I won't say it will be useful in the future."

Xu Ningyan understood: "Then put it in the hay shed to avoid being seen."

Gu Zhiyuan nodded, stirred up a little mud, and smeared it on the turtle's back before throwing him into a small stone jar and landing it behind the hay shed.

There is a dead end at the back, and usually no one goes there.

There were two soft-shelled turtles left, each one as big as a sea bowl. After cleaning them, they looked quite pleasing to the eye. I immediately decided: "I will keep them for now, and I will make a braised soft-shell turtle to eat on New Year's Eve."
