"Well, Bai Xiaolang, right? Please stay a little longer, I have a merciless request..." Bai Chunsheng was about to go back, but was stopped by Wang Dalang. With a trace of hesitation and ~ sorry?

incredible!This hooligan actually hesitates when he speaks?

"We're all neighbors, so why be polite, Brother Wang has something to do, but it's okay to say it." Bai Chunsheng looked at him with a smile.Just kidding, such a thick thigh, why don't you hurry up and hug it?Slow hands!This Wang Dalang is a ruthless character at first glance, and it is said that he has a good relationship with the boss of the dock, Hei Yujing. If he can take care of him, he will have less trouble living in the local area in the future.

"Cough! It's like this. Yesterday my second brother ate a bowl of fish soup at Aunt Zhou's house. It was delicious. It is said that Bai Xiaolang cooked it himself." Wang Dalang rubbed his nose, "It will be my second brother's birthday in a few days. He always loves to drink fish soup, but it's a pity that the taste at home is always wrong, and it's not convenient to go to restaurants. I want to trouble Bai Xiaolang, can you help me make a pot of fish soup in a few days? Of course I won't let you work for nothing Yes, this is a deposit."

After finishing speaking, Wang Dalang took out dozens of copper plates from his sleeve, strung them together with a string of fine hemp rope, and handed them to Bai Chunsheng.

"They are all neighbors, don't be so polite, what kind of fish does Lingdi usually like to eat?"

"Any fish."

Bai Chunsheng: "..." I can't answer those words!

"Well, I'll keep the money, don't talk about the hard work, just set a date and tell me, I'll use these copper coins to buy some fish and shrimp and other ingredients, and I'll make some good dishes for you on that day .”

"Thank you! The second younger brother's birthday is the day after tomorrow, so please forgive me." Wang Dalang was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Bai Chunsheng, "I was so rude when we met the first two times, please forgive me! "

"Hey! We are all monsters, what are you talking about? I know, you cat monsters are very vigilant." Bai Chunsheng waved his hand, pretending not to see the embarrassment that flashed across Wang Dalang's face, very He proudly accepted the string of copper plates.

The purchasing power of copper coins in this time and space is still very strong. This string can probably buy two or three fresh fish, a small bag of river prawns, plus some pork, tofu, and matching wheat noodles. It is more than enough to make a few dishes. What's more, living near the pier, Bai Chunsheng naturally knows when to buy cheap and good seafood.

As if thinking of something, Bai Chunsheng turned his head and looked at Wang Dalang: "Brother Wang, I just bought a lot of fresh fish today, why don't I make an extra pot of fish soup for you to taste at night? Your younger brother will definitely like it. Change to a different cooking method."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Thinking of how his second brother didn't seem to be full yesterday, Wang Dalang couldn't say anything about his refusal.

The second brother has been hungry and full since he was a child. Perhaps it is because of this that he has been unable to transform. Wang Dalang feels guilty in his heart. However, in order to relax some people's vigilance against them, he can't let their current life be too big. change.

Thinking of the young man living in the courtyard opposite, Wang Dalang's expression darkened instantly.This dog really deserves to be damned... But, he couldn't be allowed to die now.

Bai Chunsheng added some ingredients and seasonings at the grocery store, and when he returned to the small courtyard, Old Man Hu had already brought the iron pot and tools, filled the pot for him, and was washing his hands by the well.

Knowing that old man Hu would go home immediately after finishing his work, Bai Chunsheng didn't dare to delay him, and immediately settled the wages. Because of the one-day delay, he gave ten copper coins more. Old man Hu didn't refuse the ten copper coins, but never He fished out two large sweet potatoes from the basket he carried with him and gave them to him.

Bai Chunsheng took the sweet potato. The sweet potato was very big and very fresh. It was suitable for making the sweet potato balls he thought of just now. It could be wrapped with fish velvet. It tasted sweet like sweet potato and delicious with velvet fish.

After seeing off old man Hu, Bai Chunsheng checked that it was almost time, rolled up his sleeves and started making dinner.Three fresh fish are cut and cleaned, the fish heads are chopped off, and two pieces of soft tofu are cut to make fish head stewed tofu. The rest of the fish is left as a braised fish block, and the rest is sliced ​​into thin fish fillets and boiled. A large pot of fish fillet soup, half of which is taken out to make the original flavor, and the other half is made into a sour soup flavor, sprinkled with chopped shallots and green garlic, it is fragrant and tangy.

Everyone did not expect that there are so many tricks in fish soup. They used to make fish soup by throwing the killed fish directly into the water to cook, and then adding seasonings. They never thought that fish soup would do this. It turned into the color of milk, and the saliva flowed out just by smelling it. The Zhou family had eaten the stewed fish soup yesterday, but now they are more interested in the sour soup-flavored fish soup.

Bai Chunsheng’s cooking should be called sour soup fish fillets. First, pour the onion, ginger and garlic into the oil pan and saute until fragrant, then add a spoonful of sorghum wine, two spoonfuls of rice vinegar, and half a spoonful of miso. Put the sliced ​​fish fillets into the soup. In fact, if there is water starch, it will be more delicious to roll the fish fillets with salt and water starch beforehand. But Bai Chunsheng didn't buy any starch at the grocery store, not even sweet potato powder. It can be eaten directly like this. Fortunately, the fish bought today is fresh enough, and it is also very delicious if it is directly added to the soup.

One thing to pay attention to when making this dish is that you must wait until it is about to come out of the pot before adding salt, otherwise the fresh and sweet taste in the fish will not be able to get out. The fish fillets in sour soup are tender and the soup is rich Fresh and refreshing, it is simply irresistible!

Wang Dalang was originally here to fetch fish soup, but he couldn't walk anymore when he smelled the fish in sour soup. Just when Bai Chunsheng asked, he sent back the original fish soup that Bai Chunsheng specially left for their family, turned around and walked away. He came here for lunch, but he didn't come empty-handed, he brought two bottles of red yeast rice wine that was said to be brought from the state capital, the color was like rouge, and the wine was fragrant. Zhou Maoqing took out three wine glasses, and Wang Dalang filled them up. The three men first happily ate a large bowl of fish fillets in sour soup to fill their stomachs, and then began to drink slowly one by one.

Bai Chunsheng was worried that Zhou Maoqing would be too young to drink and hurt his health, but after tasting it, he realized that the alcohol content of this red yeast rice wine was not high at all, drinking it was almost like a low-alcohol cocktail, so he immediately felt relieved.

Halfway through the meal, Wang Dalang’s little chubby cat also came over, meowed twice, jumped on his brother’s shoulders, and stared at the half of the sour soup fish fillet on the table with his round eyes. .

Wang Dalang smiled, and took a shallow plate himself, scooped up a plate of fish in sour soup and put it on the table, and the little fat cat squatted obediently on the table, eating the fish in sour soup bit by bit, and returned it while eating. Wagging its fluffy tail.

Bai Chunsheng looked at the greedy eyes, and really wanted to jump over and bury it in the fluffy tail. However, although this little fat cat was greedy, it was very vigilant and would not let them touch it at all.

"I put two peppers in this fish fillet, won't he get a stomachache after eating it?" Bai Chunsheng asked worriedly.

"It's okay, he's not an ordinary kitten." Wang Dalang picked some fish fillets from his own bowl and threw them into his younger brother's plate, watching him eat slowly, pretending to explain unintentionally.

When the little chubby cat heard this, he paused in searching for fish fillets, and looked up at Bai Chunsheng.

"That's right~ Your brother is a cat demon! Then when he grows up, will he become a very big cat?" Bai Chunsheng was very interested in this idea. He knew that the second brother of the Wang family could not change form, so would it be possible? How about growing up like a human child and finally turning into a super big cat?

In that case... there might be a chance to sit on a cat!

Bai Chunsheng's face was bloodied by his brain.

"No! The cat will be what he is when he grows up." Wang Dalang ruthlessly interrupted Bai Chunsheng's daydream.

Pity!

Bai Chunsheng looked regretfully at the purring little chubby cat who was buried in the soup. There was regret and unwillingness on his face, but he didn't have the disgust and defense they were familiar with.

Wang Dalang glanced at the river clam monster who made a good fish soup with a complicated expression. Is it because he didn't understand anything when he just landed?That's why you think cats who can't change shape will grow up like human children?That's why he let the second brother eat at the same table with them without any disgust?

Didn't he know that the half-demons who couldn't transform were all trash abandoned by the family?

A table full of food was eaten up, and the three members of the Zhou family were a little embarrassed. Asking Bai Chunsheng to help with the cooking would have troubled them, and they had to spend money to buy so many delicious food. After eating, Zhou Youqing came over in a hurry After packing up and washing the dishes, Zhou Maoqing solemnly took out the old tea given to him by the owner of the bookstore, and made a cup of real tea for them to drink.

Strictly speaking, the "tea" that the Zhou family drank was not considered tea. It was the leaves of a plant similar to Chinese herbal medicine that Aunt Zhou and Zhou Youqing picked from wild vegetables. Instead of tea, it tastes like mint leaves mixed with lemongrass.

"Brother Bai, do you have any plans for the future?" Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhou Maoqing coughed, and Lao Cheng solemnly found a topic.

"I was just looking for someone to discuss with. That's it. Didn't I get a household registration booklet? The government gave me five acres of rent-free land and some grain seeds. I don't know when the grain will be planted? I just Go ashore, don't understand anything..."

"This little brother knows a thing or two." Zhou Maoqing put down his teacup and said, their family has always lived in the countryside. When his father was still alive, although he didn't have to go to the fields by himself, his father would take him to the fields every year during the busy farming season. , saying that it was to let him "know the pain of farming", so Zhou Maoqing is still very clear about what crops should be planted in what season and how to do them.

Originally, Zhou's father's wish was to personally train his son to be an official who "knows the suffering of farming". Unfortunately, after Zhou's father died unexpectedly, the Zhou family members who had been taken care of by Zhou's father turned their faces and refused to recognize him. For the sake of their family's ten acres of land, he even conspired to plant his mother and steal someone, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill her mother, and then he could justifiably "help take care of" their brother and sister, plus their family's ten acres of land.
