Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue lay in bed at noon and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. So he simply got up and killed the fish first. There are always more solutions than problems.

After getting up, An Yue rolled up her sleeves and caught the fish in the yard. There was a lot of crackling sounds when she killed the fish, and there was another lot of rustling sounds when she scraped the scales off the fish. The whole operation was smooth and seamless.

After cleaning the fish, let it drain and wait for the step of adding salt.

At this time, grandma just woke up and walked out of the house yawning. An Yue held a bowl in her hand and walked up to her carefully and asked, "Grandma, do we have more salt at home?"

Grandmother Zheng said without thinking, "There is still plenty of salt! It is enough for the whole family to eat for three to five months."

In fact, An Yue already knew that there was extra salt at home, she just wanted to ask her grandmother's opinion again.

An Yue said shyly, "Grandma... Yueyue wants to use salt to pickle fish. Can you lend some salt to Yueyue first?"

He quickly raised his finger and added, "Yueyue swears! If I make money, I will buy salt and return it to my grandmother as soon as possible."

At this moment, An Nian and his grandfather also woke up. An Nian washed his face and calmed down.

Grandmother smiled and said, "Silly child, if you want to use salt, just go and scoop it. Why swear? It's unlucky!"

After the grandmother finished speaking, she turned around and led An Yue to the house to scoop salt. A large bowl of salt was brought out, and An Yue finally felt relieved.

The water on the fish has been drained almost completely, and the next step is to start pickling the fish.

An Yue put the fish into a wooden basin, then added salt, star anise and peppercorns, spread them evenly, and placed them in the basin and covered them.

An Nian was watching the fun from the side and wanted to help from time to time, but An Yue was afraid that he would be hurt by the fish bones, so she didn't let him touch.

Marinate the fish overnight, and then in the morning, use bamboo sticks to stretch the fish out and dry it in the sun. Then you can take it to the market to sell it at any time.

An Nian and An Yue picked up their sickles and carried their backpacks, preparing to find a nearby wasteland to cut some grass and then return home.

An Yue had been killing, cleaning and pickling fish this afternoon. In addition, she had been digging sweet potatoes in the fields or chopping firewood in the mountains in the past few days. In addition, she had not had a lunch break today, so An Yue was very sleepy.

There were dark nights and bright days, and the sky in winter got dark especially early. After An Yue returned home, she started to prepare dinner.

Pingxiang Village is located at the foot of a high mountain. In the evening, smoke rises from every household, filling the entire village.

As soon as it got dark, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren had finished their dinner and went to bed after a simple wash as usual.

It was another morning, the sky was just getting light, it was cloudy and a little foggy.

An Yue got up early and spread out the fish that she had pickled last night with bamboo sticks to dry.

Grandma had prepared breakfast, and the four of them were just about to eat when they heard someone knocking on the door. Who would come to visit so early in the morning? They thought it must be their uncle who had returned.

"Mom, open the door quickly! I'm back! Mom..."

When the grandmother heard the voice of her son Jiang Chenghai, she quickly put down her chopsticks and hurried to the yard to open the door.

An Nian said in surprise: "It's my uncle who is back."

Then the brother and sister put down their chopsticks, followed their grandmother, and ran straight to the door.

Grandma opened the door with a grin and muttered, "I heard it! I heard it! Why are you shouting so loudly so early in the morning?"

My uncle returned safely, and the whole family finally felt relieved.

After opening the door, I saw my uncle and Zhang Kai. They were standing outside the door, looking dusty and carrying hunting tools.

Upon closer inspection, there were two pheasants and two hares hanging at both ends of the ropes around the two men's necks. The hares were tied tightly around their waists. There were also two wild boars lying on the ground, each weighing only about 100 pounds.

Seeing that her uncle was covered in dirt, An Yue quickly took the pheasant off his neck and put it on the ground in the yard. Then she quickly ran to the kitchen to prepare a hot bath for her uncle.

As the grandmother untied the rope around her son's waist, she smiled and said, "You two have been up the mountain for a day and a night this time, and you have gained a lot!"

At this time, my grandfather walked out slowly from the main room.

Zhang Kai saw his grandfather Jiang Wuwen coming over and quickly greeted him, "Uncle Jiang!"

Grandfather smiled and nodded and said, "You're back!"

Grandma said enthusiastically, "Kaizi, come in and have breakfast with us! We just made it and were about to eat! You guys are back."

"Aunt, I won't eat it. I have to hurry and get these mountain products back. I think my husband should have finished cooking by now."

Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, okay... Then I won't keep you here. Oh... If your dog sees this, he will be so happy that he will jump up and down."

When Zhang Kai heard his grandmother mention Goudan, his face burst into smiles.

"Hehe... that kid loves to eat meat, so let him eat as much as he can this time!!"

Zhang Kai then said, "Okay! Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I'll go back now."

After Zhang Kai finished speaking, he bent down and dragged the wild boar on the ground, preparing to go back to his home.

When the grandparents saw Zhang Kai leave, the old couple worked together to carry the wild boar from the ground to the yard.

After Uncle Jiang Chenghai unloaded his hunting tools, he washed his hands and hurried into the house to drink some water.

An Yue came over from the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks and said, "Uncle, eat first. I've heated up the bath water."

"Our Yueyue is still sensible!"

After Jiang Chenghai finished speaking, he took off his dirty coat, picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.

"Ah Hai, take a shower and have some rest. After you've rested, go to your father-in-law's house with some mountain products and bring your wife back."

"Okay! I get it, Dad!" Uncle responded and buried his head in eating.

"A rabbit or a pheasant?" asked my grandmother.

Grandfather thought for a moment and said, "A pheasant will do!"

My uncle took a sip of corn paste and said, "Okay! Let me take a nap first, and then I'll go when I wake up."

An Yue poked her head out and asked, "Uncle, will you be at the market tomorrow?"

An Yue couldn't wait to go to the market to have a look, but she only remembered the main road and had no idea of ​​the specific locations of the various shops.

"You can go, but Yueyue, are you really planning to take your fish to the market to sell it?" Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked with some doubt.

After the family finished their meal, the brother and sister washed the dishes and wiped the table, the grandmother helped her son fetch water for his bath, and the uncle sat under the eaves, picking the cockleburs from his hair before taking a bath.

After finishing his own work, An Nian ran to the yard and squatted there. He touched the wild rabbit, then the pheasant and the wild boar. Although they were all dead, An Nian was still a little scared and did not dare to touch them with his hands. He had to poke them with a bamboo rake.
