Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 19 Crucian Carp Soup

"In fact, hunting does require some skills. You just have to pay special attention to see if there are any tigers in the mountains. They are very fierce. An adult tiger can weigh up to 400 to 500 kilograms. If you are unlucky, it will be difficult to deal with them."

My uncle shook his head and continued, "That thing can climb trees, leaving no place for people to hide."

"Uncle, please don't say that. It's too creepy! If you hear it every year, you will have nightmares at night." An Yue listened to what her uncle Jiang Chenghai said, and thinking that she was still on the mountain, she couldn't help feeling a little panic in her heart.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was bundling firewood while playing with An Yue.

"Haha...it turns out Yueyue is a coward." Uncle Jiang Chenghai teased.

An Yue smiled and said, "Niannian is right, my uncle is just bad!"

"Okay! You two siblings teamed up to bully your uncle. Humph! I won't buy you any delicious food in the future!"

While a few people were chatting and laughing, Uncle Jiang Chenghai had already tied up the chopped branches into four large bundles.

"Let's go home~!! The two little followers definitely can't keep up!" Jiang Chenghai picked up two bundles of firewood and walked in front and said.

An Nian and An Yue were very unwilling to hear this, so they put on their backpacks and quickly followed.

Thanks to my uncle Jiang Chenghai's help, the sun had not yet set when we got home.

The three of them arrived home first, washed their hands, and drank a few sips of water. Since it was still early, they sat in the yard and asked their uncle about the customs and practices of the village.

"Uncle, when will we return from the mountain tomorrow?" An Yue asked.

"It will take at most two days! Why are you asking this?" Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked back.

“If the harvest is good, will you sell it at the market?”

"Of course! First I'll keep some for the New Year, and take the rest to the market to exchange for money."

An Yue asked weakly: "Uncle, can you take me to the market with you?"

"No, no, there are so many people in the market. If you get lost, your grandmother will skin me alive, right?"

"Uncle...my good uncle...please! Take Yueyue with you!" An Yue shook her uncle Jiang Chenghai's arm and said coquettishly.

"Hmph! Now that you need my help, I'm a good uncle. Just now on the mountain, you and An Nian said that I was a bad uncle!" Uncle Jiang Chenghai pretended to be angry.

"Uncle, you are a magnanimous man, how can you be so magnanimous as to argue with us children, right?" An Yue said, blinking her innocent big eyes.

Jiang Chenghai couldn't stand seeing An Yue acting like a spoiled child. He felt goose bumps all over his body.

I quickly pretended to forgive you and said, "You have a point! I won't argue with you!"

"Uncle, do you agree to take me with you?"

"I didn't promise you anything! I just don't want to be angry with you anymore. But why are you going to the market?"

"I... want to sell fish." An Yue said hesitantly.

The uncle was very surprised and thought An Yue's behavior was a bit ridiculous. He said with some disdain: "Where do we have fish at home? Besides, who eats fish? There are too many bones and it smells fishy."

At this time, my grandparents also came back, and my uncle quickly stood up and went forward to help.

"Grandpa and grandma, is the fish for lunch delicious?" An Yue asked loudly on purpose.

"Delicious! Delicious! Of course it's delicious!" Grandma nodded repeatedly as she recalled the taste of the fish at noon.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was even more confused. In the past, he would catch fish and stew them, but his parents always despised him.

"Uncle, how about this! After we finish dinner, you can consider whether to take me to the market with you, how about that?"

Even if her uncle didn't agree to take her with him after dinner, An Yue had a way to make him take her with him.

"Tsk! Can you perform magic tricks?" said my uncle disapprovingly.

"Humph! If you don't believe me, just wait!"

After An Yue finished speaking, she stood up and took her brother and she to the kitchen.

Arriving at the kitchen, An Yue washed the sweet potatoes and put them in a pot, washed a cabbage and cut it, then brought out the fish that had been fried at noon.

An Yue asked An Nian to add firewood to the stove as he did at noon, put some salt in the pot after it was hot, and then put the fish in the pot and fry it. After the fish was fried, pour a basin of water into the pot, cover the pot and continue cooking.

A quarter of an hour later, An Yue opened the lid of the pot and the fish soup turned white. She removed the fish bones from the pot, poured in the chopped cabbage, and finally covered the pot and simmered it for another half a quarter of an hour.

It was soon served out of the pot. After the dish was put into a bowl, it was sprinkled with the wild garlic leaves that had been cut at noon.

An Nian was very observant. Seeing that the dishes were out of the pot, he washed his hands and prepared to set the table.

At this time, the sweet potatoes were cooked. An Yue picked the sweet potatoes out of the pot with chopsticks, and then brought the sweet potatoes and dishes to the table one by one.

My grandfather was sitting in the yard, weaving a bamboo basket with his hands.

Grandmother was washing clothes for the brother and sister in the yard. After An Nian put the dishes on the table, he ran to the yard and called them one by one to eat.

Soon, everyone washed their hands and went into the main room to prepare for dinner.

At this time, my uncle sat on a stool, pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Yueyue, you want me to take you to the market just for a pot of cabbage?"

"Uncle, how about trying it first?" An Yue said with a confident smile.

Jiang Chenghai picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth with doubt.

Jiang Chenghai couldn't believe that cabbage could be so delicious.

"Why does the taste differ from usual? Why does the cabbage become so delicious?"

The grandmother looked at her son Jiang Chenghai with a look of disdain and said, "Look at how Yueyue stews fish, and then think about how you stewed fish before!"

"There are fish in here?" Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked in disbelief.

My grandparents weren't very surprised, after all, they had already eaten better fish at noon.

"Yueyue, I heard from your uncle that you want to go to the market to sell fish?" Grandfather took a bite of sweet potato and asked slowly.

"Grandfather, do you think it's okay?" An Yue asked, tilting her head.

"I can't say much about my grandfather. After all, most people think fish has too many bones and smells fishy. But the fish cooked by Yueyue is really good."

Grandma suddenly said, "Ah Hai, next time you go to the market, take Yueyue with you! I think she can do it."

When An Yue heard her grandmother say this, she felt very happy, at least someone agreed with this approach.

Grandma took a sip of soup and continued, "Grandma thinks that Yueyue is already a grown-up girl. As long as you have an idea, just go for it. Grandma supports you. Anyway, no matter whether the result is good or bad, you have to give an explanation to yourself."

After listening to what her grandmother Zheng said, An Yue suddenly felt that her grandmother was a woman of great wisdom. If she were born in the 21st century, she would definitely be a strong woman.

An Yue stared at her grandmother with her big round eyes, motionlessly.

"..." The entire dinner table was silent, as if the scene was frozen, and everyone was looking at her.
