The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 428 Big Sea Fish
When we went back, it was Ye Xilin driving a donkey cart. Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu were discussing what to embroider next time on the donkey cart.
Ye Qingqing thought of the screen made by Wang Yueya, and also wanted to make a screen.
"The screen with the four seasons scenery that my second cousin made years ago is very nice. Mom, what do you think I would like to make a screen too?"
"The customs and customs of Hangzhou are still embroidered on the screen. It is a four-sided screen with a small picture embroidered on each side."
Ye Qingqing actually has his own little calculation. The embroidery of Hangzhou's customs and feelings is mainly fresh and elegant. No gorgeous gold thread is used in it, so the cost is much lower.
In this way, Ye Qingqing can earn more money. Ye Qingqing, who is very economical, wants to do this Hangzhou embroidery pattern a few more times.
"Okay, small pictures are easier to make than big pictures, but if matched well, this screen will be easy to shine." Ye Mu thinks this is a good idea.
Shopping and shopping in the afternoon wasted a lot of time. When the three of them returned to Ye's house, the sun had already set on the top of the mountain.
Mrs. Ye was a little curious when she saw the two big fish that Ye Xilin took from the donkey cart.
Looking at these two sea fish with great interest, "This fish looks a bit strange. We don't seem to have this kind of red fish here. Is this a sea fish?"
Ye Xilin picked up the sea fish and said cheerfully: "Milk, this is sea fish. The fishermen on the seaside specially transport it to the county for sale."
"It's red, this sea fish looks really good-looking."
Old Mrs. Ye would occasionally go to the town to attend big fairs, but she had never been to the county, and she had never seen this kind of sea fish.
Not only has Mrs. Ye never seen it before, but other members of the Ye family have also seen this kind of fresh sea fish for the first time.
"How much is a pound of this sea fish?" Mrs. Ye couldn't help but ask again.
Ye Xilin said honestly: "15 cents per catty, these two fish total just over 4 catties. The stall owner paid a small amount, and the total cost was 60 cents."
"This is too expensive. You can buy a pound of pork belly for 15 cents." Mrs. Ye looked distressed when she heard the price of sea fish.
Ye Mu took the white silk from the donkey cart and said cheerfully:
"Mom, I don't need to pay for this money. I just sold some embroidery today, so I will pay for it myself."
Old Mrs. Ye still felt sorry for money, "Isn't your money just money? Just buy one and try it. Why buy two at once? What if it doesn't taste good?"
Ye Qingqing put his arm around Old Mrs. Ye's shoulders and smiled and said, "You can tell that this fish is delicious just by looking at it. Besides, I have already bought this fish, so there is no way to return it."
As soon as Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing put their things away, they heard the sound of wheels rolling over leaves from the door.
It was Father Ye, Ye Donglin and Wang Chunyu who came back.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Mu quickly took Ye Qingqing to the kitchen to cook.
I plan to save the mutton leaf mother to eat tomorrow. Fortunately, the weather has been cold these two days and the mutton can still be stored.
Ye Mu plans to cook two large fishes in the evening, and the fish must be fresh.
Ye Mu gave the two fish to Ye Xilin and asked him to kill the fish in the backyard.
Mother Ye specially warned: "Scrape the fish scales cleanly and don't be careless. Last time I asked you to kill the fish, the tail was covered with fish scales."
"The crucian carp last time was too small and difficult to handle. This fish is easy to clean. The scales will definitely be clean."
Ye Xilin carried two big fish and walked towards the backyard with a smile.
Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing went to the small vegetable garden together.
Ye Qingqing pulled out a Chinese cabbage and a cabbage, and made stir-fried Chinese cabbage and stir-fried cabbage at night.
Mother Ye pulled out a small handful of green onions and dug out two pieces of ginger. Green onions and ginger are indispensable for making fish.
Ye Mu washed and chopped the green onions and ginger, and Ye Xilin also finished processing the sea fish.
The dinner was very sumptuous, including two sea fish, one steamed and one braised, as well as stir-fried Chinese cabbage and stir-fried cabbage.
Marine fish is much more delicious than the grass carp that we usually eat, especially steamed fish. Marine fish is especially delicious.
Ye Xilin and Tang Xiaojing, who have stronger tastes, like braised sea fish.
Although this sea fish is a little more expensive, it tastes really good, there are no small bones, and the fish meat is firmer than grass carp.
There were also dried fish for sale at the seafood stall, but Ye Mu saw that she had already bought fresh fish, so she did not buy dried fish.
Sea fish are not common, and Ye Mu regrets not buying some dried sea fish.
Tangshan also likes to eat this kind of sea fish, and he is thinking of going to the county to look for it in two days to see if he can buy fresh sea fish to eat during the Chinese New Year.
After dinner, Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye went to the cellar together to pack up the New Year's gifts for relatives and friends.
"Mom, this year's New Year's gift is a pound of red dates, a pound of persimmons, a wax duck and two large bundles of cloth. What do you think?"
This year's ceremony is similar to previous years. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. There is nothing particularly outstanding, but there is nothing wrong with it.
However, these things are all produced at home, and except for low-priced large pieces of cloth, they basically cost no money.
It didn’t cost any money and the gifts were decent. Mrs. Ye was very satisfied.
"It's very good. This is the way to send it to ordinary relatives and friends. What about your natal family and Xiaoyu's natal family's New Year's gift?"
Mother Ye thought for a while and then said: "A piece of fine linen cloth, a bacon duck, a pound of red dates and a pound of persimmon cakes, mother, can you take a look at these?"
"We have to spend money to buy fabrics. Don't we still have bacon, rabbit, and chicken at home? Or dried mushrooms, that's fine too."
Mother Ye looked at Old Mrs. Ye, "How about replacing the fabric with a wax rabbit?"
"Yes, there is also a master who taught Feng how to raise bees. Don't forget their family's New Year's gift."
"I didn't forget, a wax rabbit, a wax duck, two pounds of red dates, and two pounds of persimmons. What do you think, mother?"
"Very good, let's do this."
Since Mrs. Ye said last time that her mother would take care of everything at home, Mrs. Ye rarely interferes in other things at home except for managing the father-in-law's money.
Except for the occasional misunderstanding, Ye's mother did a good job in everything else and kept the Ye family in good order.
Most of the big fat pigs in the Ye family's pig pen had been killed more than a month before the New Year, and they were all made into bacon and sold to the merchants on the dock.
Except that it was too small, there was only one big fat pig left in the pig pen, waiting to be killed during the Chinese New Year.
Ye Mu has already made plans to sell half of the New Year pig to people in the village, and keep twenty or thirty kilograms of pork to eat during the New Year and to use when returning to her parents' home.
Use the remaining pork and leaves to make bacon and save it for next year.
Ye Qingqing thought of the screen made by Wang Yueya, and also wanted to make a screen.
"The screen with the four seasons scenery that my second cousin made years ago is very nice. Mom, what do you think I would like to make a screen too?"
