fish street dad

Wang Kunfeng loves his younger brother very much. The lunch in the bookstore only includes some simple steamed bread and gruel. Wang Kunfeng was worried that his younger brother would not be full, so he told the shopkeeper of the bookstore to ask Sanlang to go home for lunch. After dinner, he went to work. The manager of the bookstore was originally his man, so he naturally obeyed his master's words. It's just that Wang Kunfeng had said something beforehand. It's not suitable for Saburo and the others to know what he did behind his back. Therefore, towards Saburo, the shopkeeper has always shown the attitude of "because he is afraid of Wang Dalang's prestige and has to take care of him", and Saburo doesn't care much about it. After all, even his biological parents don't want him, let alone other people.

However, today's Wang Sanlang walked home much more briskly than in the past, and smiled when he met an acquaintance on the road. The acquaintance was startled by Sanlang's smile and almost bumped his head against a tree.

Saburo suddenly stopped while walking, and there was a small half-demon squatting on the side of the road. In a dirty basket, there was a thick layer of green tree leaves, and there were a few cracked wild beehives inside. , Through the gap, you can vaguely see the beehive and golden honey inside.

"How do you sell this honeycomb?" Sanlang squatted down.

The half-demon was startled, raised his head, and found a young man with a jade-like face and a blue scholar's turban squatting in front of him, his dirty little face flushed slightly, which was not obvious, and he stuttered replied, "This,

This is a wild, wild bee nest. My brother and I went up the mountain to dig it down. My brother said that I would sell it for fifty copper coins. "

"Such a basket, fifty copper coins?"

"Hmm! Yes, yes!"

"Then I bought it." Saburo took out the money bag from his sleeve, opened it, counted out fifty copper coins and handed it to him.

"Here!" Little Stutter lifted the leaves of the big tree in the basket, wrapped the honeycomb inside in the leaves, and tied them up with the straw ropes that had been prepared a long time ago, because there were many layers of wrapping, the honey inside would not It will flow out, and he tied a knot for the extra straw rope so that Saburo can carry it in his hand.

"Go home early." Saburo stood up and left with the honey.

The eldest brother said that today he will go to Jishi Medicine Hall to pick up Brother Chunsheng back home. Brother Chunsheng must have been suffering from pain in his mouth after drinking the soup for several days. He happened to meet a honey seller, so he bought some honey water for Brother Chunsheng to drink. also good.

Now that he is working in the bookstore, he also has some pocket money in his hands, some are given by his elder brother, some are rewarded by customers when he was working, and he has accumulated hundreds of copper coins here and there, but Saburo is very economical. These copper coins have been in my bosom for many days, and I have never spent them, and they really came in handy today.

"Brother Chunsheng!" Seeing his elder brother and Bai Chunsheng walking across the street from a distance, Sanlang quickened his pace instantly. If he hadn't been in human form now, he might have been unable to hold back his instinct and threw himself into Brother Chunsheng's arms up.

As a kitten who hangs out with many wild cats in Yujie all the year round, Saburo is much more mature than Wang Kunfeng in some respects. For example, when he was very young, he determined to grow up. Marry a lady who is a good fisherman.

Of course, after meeting Brother Chun Sheng, he quickly changed his wish, he wanted to marry a husband who was a good fisherman!This husband's partner, needless to say, is of course Brother Chunsheng who can make good fish balls and cook good fish soup.

"Sanlang is still so handsome, it would be better if he grew more flesh." Bai Chunsheng touched Sanlang's arm, and found that the arm hidden under his clothes was indeed very thin, so he decided to cook some more fish soup to nourish the boy.

Boys must eat well when they are growing and developing!Otherwise, how do you say "half a child, eat a poor man"?

"Brother Chunsheng, I bought you honey!" Sanlang held up the small green package in his hand as if offering a treasure.

"Wild honey? Great, then today I can make you a grilled fish with honey sauce." Bai Chunsheng said happily.

Considering that during the few days when he was "hospitalized", several acquainted neighbors visited him and brought gifts, so Bai Chunsheng bought more vegetables today and decided to invite guests at home.

Therefore, I went to Wang's house first to say hello to Aunt Wang and the others, and after reporting that he was safe, Bai Chunsheng said that he would invite everyone to have a meal together today, thanking everyone for taking care of him when he was sick a few days ago.

"It's fine! Oh, you haven't been home for a few days, and you must have no condiments at home. You wait here, and the aunt will pick up some green onions, garlic and fragrant leaves for cooking fish soup for you. You just bring them to make Vegetables." As she spoke, Aunt Wang took a small basket, picked some condiments from her small vegetable garden in the yard, and handed it to him.

"Thank you aunt! It's better that aunt thought carefully!" Bai Chunsheng took it with a smile, and went back to his home with Wang Kunfeng and his brothers.

I didn't go home for a few days, I thought the house should be dusty, but I didn't expect to go in and see that the tables, chairs and benches were all wiped clean, there was a pot of warm water on the table, and the bedding had just been dried.

Needless to say, it must have been done with the help of Aunt Zhou.

Hearing the voice from here, Aunt Zhou took her daughter out to have a look, and it turned out that Bai Chunsheng had returned.

"I knew it was time to come back at this time. Let's eat at my aunt's house today? I asked Maoqing to buy two catties of meat and a big herring." Aunt Zhou wiped her hands happily, and it will be Zhou in a few days. It’s the death day of my aunt’s deceased husband. For the past two days, the mother and daughter have been hiding in the house and folded some paper money and other preparations. They are ready to be used at that time. Because it is used to worship the deceased husband, they are worried that others will see the taboo, so the mother and daughter closed the door Come to do the work, that's why they didn't find out that Bai Chunsheng was back in the first place.

"How can I let my aunt spend money? During the few days when I was sick, I owed my aunts to take care of me, and I also owed everyone to take care of me at home. I didn't have anything else to repay. I just bought some fish and meat on the way back. Everyone will eat at noon today. Eat at my place. Auntie, you go to work, we are fine here, the scars on your hands have not healed yet, so don't soak in water." Bai Chunsheng ordered a few words, and then took Wang Kunfeng and Sanlang I'm busy.

"Where did Xie Huang go?"

"The idiot crab went fishing upstream with someone." Wang Kunfeng split the firewood with an ax and explained, "These days are the season when the silver scorpionfish in the upper reaches are migrating. The shop didn’t have enough money, so I followed the people to catch fish. The silver scorpion fish is tender and the color is good-looking. Those rich and noble families must eat this every year when it comes to the season. The price is also more expensive than ordinary fish. Let’s go there If you are lucky, you can earn dozens of taels, and if you can catch the largest silver scorpionfish and make a pair, I remember last year that a pair of silver scorpionfish weighing more than six catties sold for 50 taels of silver."

"So expensive?" Bai Chunsheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. This sounds more profitable than setting up a stall to sell fish balls, and it's still a no-cost business. I don't know if he has time to rush there...

"Don't even think about it this year. The silver scorpion fish swim very fast. Every year, they are only easy to catch when they rush from the upstream to the sea to lay eggs in groups, and there are only two or three days a year. , right now, that silly crab has probably come back with the boat."

"It's a pity..." An illness actually missed such a good opportunity to make a fortune!

"What's the pity? Don't say you missed the fishing season this year, even if it catches up next year, you are not allowed to go!" Wang Kunfeng reprimanded.

"Why?"

"Why do you think they want to share a share of the stupid crab? If the silver scorpionfish is so easy to catch, they can go by themselves. Why do they need to bring an extra person to share the money with them?"

"Then Xie Huang won't be in danger, right?" Bai Chunsheng asked anxiously.

"That's not true. He is really a crab. When he gets there, he can only be said to be like a fish in water. The place where the silver scorpionfish was caught is in a rocky shoal, and the current is fast. It is easy for ordinary people to stand on it and be washed away by the water." , or being knocked down by a silver scorpionfish eager to escape, ranging from being hit on a rocky beach with bruises all over the body, to severe injuries, and only that stupid crab, although his brain is not very good, he still has a lot of strength Yes, the eight claws of the real body can firmly hold those chaotic rocks, let him hold the net, it couldn't be more secure."

After a pause, Wang Kunfeng added indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't let that stupid crab suffer. I negotiated terms for him before we set off. He will share [-]% of the catch he catches." .”

"That's pretty much the same. Otherwise, it was Xie Huang who did the hard work, and they would have to share the fish they caught in the end. There is no such thing in the world. Fortunately, you have this matter. When Xie Huang comes back, I will ask him to treat you to a drink! "Bai Chunsheng nodded in satisfaction, he knew that Wang Kunfeng was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.If it wasn't for him to come forward, that idiot Xie Huang would have been tricked miserably. Maybe a boatload of people made money bags full, and only he got a few strings of money in the end.

"It's fine to eat wine, I have already agreed with him, let him bring me some silver scorpionfish when he comes back."

"The silver scorpionfish is really delicious?" Bai Chunsheng was a little curious after being told.

"The meat is tender, and it's not unusual. It's just that the silver scorpionfish is silvery white. Rich and noble people are used to using this silver scorpionfish to make steamed fish. On a large celadon plate, there is a silver scorpionfish as white as snow, against the emerald green color." On the first day of fishing, the silver scorpionfish transported from the upper reaches sold for 18 taels of silver in the restaurant, and the size was only more than a catty, and any bigger ones would not be sold."

"Is it reserved for the nobles to eat?" Bai Chunsheng curled his lips, limiting this trick, their time and space have long been tired of being played by the merchants.

"Scarcity is the most expensive thing~ Let's not talk about it. When Xie Huang comes back, I will share two fish with you, and you can try it too. But I am just worrying about it. You used to live in the water, and you didn't eat any fish and shrimps." Pass?"

"It's all raw! How can it be delicious?" Bai Chunsheng rolled his eyes at him, "Otherwise, why do you think I have to live on the shore? Is it because I want to be dried in the sun? It's because I can't live and cook in the water It's a pity that the skills I've worked so hard to learn from the passing chefs all these years are useless."

"Speaking of which, do you have any other relatives in the water?" Thinking that I will find a matchmaker to propose marriage in the future, if Bai Chunsheng has other relatives in the water, it will be much easier. Come to make arrangements, but it's also lively.

"Oh! Don't mention it, maybe there are other relatives, but I don't know where they have drifted to." Bai Chunsheng sighed, "Our mussels don't always stay in one place in the water. I remember when I was a child It doesn't seem to be in this river, but I can't remember where it is. Every time the spring flood, summer flood, and autumn flood come, we don't know where we will be washed. I also came to Qingshui River, where the water flow is gentle. I just slowly lived here, and at that time, I didn’t know the mussels around me.”

"Brother Chunsheng, don't be sad, we will all be your relatives from now on!" Sanlang walked over and gave him a hug, rubbing his delicate face on his arm.

"I'm not sad. In fact, I can't remember what my hometown looks like now. As you know, the underwater world is pretty much the same. Except for stones and sand, there is endless water. Names like fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, etc. Although we don’t know each other, it’s okay, at least, when we are washed away by the flood, we won’t feel sad because of parting.”

Bai Chunsheng spoke very easily, but Wang Kunfeng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

He always thought that he, Sanlang and his three brothers and sisters were very pitiful, just because they were born half-demons, they were abandoned by their biological parents.However, he did not expect that even the pure-blooded clam monster would have his helplessness and pity.Perhaps this way can really live a carefree life, but if there are no people and things to worry about and think about in a person's life, what's the point?

"Okay, what are you talking about? Today is my first day back from a serious illness. I ate porridge and water for several days, so I can eat meat! Hurry up, brother Kun, help me boil water, Sanlang help I washed the vegetables and meat and put them in a bamboo basket to drain, I was starving to death!"

The excellent pork belly was divided into two portions. One portion of Bai Chunsheng was prepared to make a braised pork with some honey, and the other portion was sliced ​​into thin slices to make chili fried pork with mountain pepper.

They bought the mountain peppers on the road. The peppers grown in the mountains are probably contaminated with the wildness of the mountains, or maybe they are mixed with some wild pepper varieties. The taste is hotter than the ones grown by the vegetable farmers themselves. Bai Chunsheng bought all the two baskets of mountain peppers that others carried down the mountain, and prepared to make some chopped peppers by himself. On weekdays, they can be used as a side dish or as a hot pot dipping sauce, and they can also be used to make chopped pepper fish heads. Can't eat spicy food.

"Sanlang, be careful when you wash that chili pepper, and don't wipe your nose and eyes with your hands after washing." Bai Chunsheng reminded after thinking about it.

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Before he finished speaking, Saburo sneezed hard several times. Bai Chunsheng turned his head and saw that this guy accidentally broke a mountain chili pepper, which had a strong and pungent chili smell. The rigid kitten was in a panic all of a sudden, its big round eyes instantly turned into glowing red rabbit eyes, and even the tip of its jade-white nose turned red.

"Pfft~" Bai Chunsheng put down the kitchen knife and walked over, scooped up some cold water, washed his hands, let Sanlang tilt his neck, and he washed him with clean water little by little, "Now you know how powerful it is? It seems that you really can't If you eat spicy food, put the chili here, and I will wash it later."

"Then what should I do?" Saburo twisted his body uncomfortably.I don't know why, but he always feels that his elder brother looks at him a bit harshly. Is it because he can't even wash hot peppers well?

"You~ so, I'll teach you how to make fish balls later!"

"Okay!" Saburo was immediately satisfied when he got a new job.

After Bai Chunsheng prepared the two meat dishes, he took out the fish-killing knife given by Wang Kunfeng and started to kill the fish.

First, throw the fish hard on the ground, and after fainting, take out the scale removal knife to quickly remove the scales, then cut open the belly of the fish, take out the internal organs of the fish, tear off the black film inside the belly of the fish, wash it with water, and replace it with a new one. With a knife, cut off the big fish head and save it to make stewed tofu with fish head.

Cut the rest of the fish in half, and changed another knife, first sliced ​​off the outer layer of fish skin, then quickly sliced ​​off the fish meat in one direction, and gave Wang Kunfeng two kitchen knives at the same time , Ask him to help chop the fish meat.

Wang Kunfeng is very powerful, perhaps to show off in front of his sweetheart, the two kitchen knives swung almost to the point of creating phantoms, and after a while the fish fillets were chopped into pureed meat.

Bai Chunsheng: "..." Fortunately, Laozi's cutting board was made of wooden piles. If it was made of composite wood, it would have been dismantled by now, right?

"Brother Kun, help me chop some barley vegetables." Bai Chunsheng handed him a handful of vegetables that San Lang had washed just now, and after thinking about it, he said, "Don't use too much force, or the juice in the leaves will run away. Not tasty."

Saburo pursed his lips and laughed secretly, while Wang Kunfeng gave his younger brother a hard look, took the barley and slowly chopped it up.

This wheat vegetable looks a bit like a fattened shepherd's purse. The reason why it is called wheat vegetable is because this kind of vegetable is usually sown by using the gaps between the wheat when the farmers sow the wheat in autumn. Winter wheat will not be until the beginning of spring. After that, the jointing starts. Instead of leaving the land empty, it is better to sprinkle some barley seeds between the wheat seedlings. The barley grows fast and will not freeze to death even if it is pressed by heavy snow. After the wheat grows in the spring, the wheat vegetables hidden in the wheat seedlings without sunlight will not die, and the young shoots drawn out later are also more delicious, and can be eaten until the summer wheat harvest season.

Bai Chunsheng has tasted it a few times. The taste of the fried barley is between shepherd's purse and cabbage. It is very suitable for chopping and making stuffing. After the stuffing is ready, Bai Chunsheng adds seasonings and mixes well, and then begins to teach Sanlang how to make it. Fish Ball.

Wang Kunfeng stood behind the two unhappily, but did not leave.Of course he knew that it was impossible for Chun Sheng and his third brother, but probably cats are jealous species, he just couldn't see Chun Sheng getting too close to other people, no matter male or female!Neither can demons!

"Sanlang, look, making fish balls is actually very simple. The main thing is to prepare the fillings. If you do this, relax the tiger's mouth a little, yes! Let the fish velvet squeeze out from the inside, and the fish balls will slide into the warm water. Will it take shape all at once? ? Yes! Try it yourself." Bai Chunsheng let go of his hand and asked Saburo to try it himself.

Saburo looks weak, but he is actually very smart. He just taught him once. He watched Bai Chunsheng do it twice, and the fish balls he made could be formed smoothly. He watched one after another irregular fish balls floating on the warm water. , Saburo smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Then I'll leave these fish balls to you. Take out the finished fish balls and put them in this basin." After Bai Chunsheng said that, he hurriedly went to arrange other dishes for lunch.

While he was busy, Shang Qiulu came in with a large bundle of wicker on his back.

"Qiulu, did you go out to cut firewood early in the morning?" Bai Chunsheng was a little surprised, because morning was not a good time to cut firewood. The firewood was covered with dew, and it was heavy and difficult to cut. Most people would go to chop firewood in the afternoon.

"It's not firewood, it's wicker. Aren't you going to open a store to sell fish balls? I'm thinking of chopping up some wicker and making some wicker plaques. I can use them to put fish balls."

"Oh, don't tell me, I almost forgot. I really need to buy some plaques to hold the fish balls!" Bai Chunsheng slapped his head. After the fish balls are ready, they can't be kept in cold water. It is good for making fish ball soup or braised fish balls.

"Qiulu, take a rest first, it's not busy, after dinner, let's go to the shop together, choose a place to put the wicker plaque, and then go to the carpenter's shop to find a carpenter to build a shelf, so that a shelf can be stacked There are many layers of fish balls, we can make the fish balls and let them dry before the meal time, and we can cook them immediately when the guests come.”

"Okay!" Shang Qiulu put down the willow sticks under the eaves. In fact, the freshly cut willow sticks can't be used to weave things right away. You have to peel off the outer layer of skin first, especially since the willow sticks are still used to put fish balls. If you want to be cleaner, you have to choose one, and you can't take the ones with wormholes.

Moving a small bench, Shang Qiulu sat under the eaves, slowly picking out the right wicker, throwing the bad ones into the yard, drying them to be used as firewood, and peeling off the outer layer of the wicker if it was the right length , put it aside, after washing it, hang it under the eaves to dry in the shade, and then it can be used to weave things.

After the fish balls were ready, Saburo was free, so he simply ran for Aunt Zhou, went to the bookstore to call Zhou Maoqing back, and then went to the opposite goalkeeper, Aunt Wang and Auntie, to bring them over. Put together the tables at home, put them in Bai Chunsheng's simple "living room", and started eating lively.

Everyone attaches great importance to the fact that Bai Chunsheng is prone to sunburn, and told him not to go out under the sun again. If there is anything that needs to be done, let them help him out. Bai Chunsheng agreed with a smile down.At the same time, I have a new understanding of my delicate skin and tender flesh. No wonder my skin is so good, and my relationship has never been in the sun before!

After eating, Bai Chunsheng and the others first went to the shop, roughly estimated the size, and then went to the carpenter's shop to order a wooden shelf about 1.8 meters high and eight floors up and down. This shelf is easier to make than ordinary furniture, and the carpenter agreed. After two days, they will be ready for them. After finishing the work, Shang Qiulu is very discerning and excuses to chop some willows, so he goes back first. Wang Kunfeng nodded in satisfaction, and excused that he would take Bai Chunsheng to find him while he was not busy. Several fishermen discussed the ingredients.
