fish street dad

When Zhou Maoqing was observing Bai Chunsheng, Bai Chunsheng was also observing him.

The boy in front of him looks about the same age as Shang Qiulu, but his eyes are very firm and steady, his words and deeds are bookish, and his walking posture is rigid. Thinking of Aunt Zhou telling him that her eldest son is a Bai Chunsheng pursed his lips in joy at the bookworm's evaluation.

Zhou Maoqing was a little baffled by his smile, but the man in front of him with crooked brows and eyes was really pleasing, and he had the kind of face that had no bad intentions towards others. Zhou Maoqing was taught by his father when he was a child There are many miscellaneous studies of literati, including physiognomy, and he is quite confident in his hidden skills.

Thinking of this, Zhou Maoqing also replied with a gentle smile: "This young man must be Bai Lang that mother mentioned yesterday, right?"

"What the hell is Bai Lang?" Bai Chunsheng slandered silently in his heart, and then he gave a big smile, "We are all neighbors, don't be so polite, I am not a scholar, you are younger than me, call me Big Brother Bai or Chun Sheng is fine."

"Brother Bai, my younger brother, Zhou Maoqing, is usually in the shop, and my mother is always taking care of me." Zhou Maoqing bowed his hands in earnest thanks.

Bai Chunsheng sighed in his heart, and learned to bow his hands in return.

"Pfft~" Aunt Zhou's youngest daughter, Zhou Youqing, couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. Her eldest brother was like this, as strict as an old master in the academy.

"Okay, okay, go in and rest quickly, and I will make fish soup for you at noon." Aunt Zhou smiled and took the fish over to dissect and wash it.

"Ah Qing, this is for you." Zhou Maoqing took out several rolls of colorful silk threads from his bosom and handed them to his sister.

"The embroidery thread from Qiansifang! Thank you, brother!" Zhou Youqing took the silk thread in surprise, and ran to the side to play with it. The silk thread of this shop is the best in the town, and many of them are shipped from the state capital. The ones who came here are the latest, but unfortunately the price of good silk thread is too expensive, they are usually reluctant to buy it, only the eldest brother will save the copper coins rewarded by customers every time, and bring her a few rolls of good silk thread that are usually reluctant to buy.

"You brothers and sisters are so close!" Bai Chunsheng envied. He wanted a cute and cute younger sister in his previous life, but it's a pity that they had a family planning policy in those days, and a family could only have one child. Later, the second child was allowed. He is getting older, and the whole family is very regretful. They just want to urge him to get married and have a cute little granddaughter. Unfortunately...

"Mao Qing, I heard from Aunt Zhou that you are good at studying, can I ask you for a favor?" Bai Chunsheng thought of something and asked immediately.

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, I, I just came up from the water, and I want to learn some characters commonly used by your human race. Do you have books that teach people to read like this in your bookstore? Can you buy some of these books and pens and ink for me?"

"What's so difficult about this? You have nothing to do today. After lunch, if Brother Bai is all right, I will accompany you to the bookstore." Before Zhou Maoqing finished speaking, he heard Aunt Zhou's voice from the well platform. Shout out.

"mother!"

"Mother!"

The brothers and sisters hurried over and found that Aunt Zhou's hand had been cut by a kitchen knife, and the blood was flowing out.

"Maoqing, bring some water over here, young girl, please go and get some clean cloth. By the way, it's best to wash and dry it." Bai Chunsheng pushed the two of them away, and pressed the cloth in Aunt Zhou's hand. Wound.

The brothers and sisters hurriedly went to fetch water and things.

"Here comes the water!" The water in the well just came up with some impurities. Zhou Maoqing went to the water tank in the house to get clean water. Bai Chunsheng carefully took the water with a gourd ladle, and washed Aunt Zhou's hands little by little. The wound on the fish was long but not deep, probably because the skin of the fish was too slippery, and it was accidentally scratched when cutting the fish.

Bai Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, took a clean piece of cloth from Zhou Youqing's hand, and tightly wrapped the wound on Aunt Zhou's hand. He was very skillful in dressing the wound. At that time, he also worked as a volunteer with a group of netizens, and learned how to deal with some sudden injuries. Although he is not professional enough, it is still no problem to deal with such small wounds.

"Thank you, Brother Bai!" Zhou Maoqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the wound on his mother's hand was well bandaged and no more bleeding. This call of Brother Bai was more sincere than before.

"It's nothing, but in the past few days, until the wound is completely healed, it's best not to touch the water again. Also, this cloth strip can't be tied all the time, otherwise the wound will not heal easily. I will come back in two hours Change the cloth strips for Aunt Zhou, if the wound stops bleeding, the cloth strips don’t need to be tied up, as long as the hand doesn’t touch the water, it should heal soon.”

"It's all the fish's fault! Why should I buy fish?" Zhou Maoqing resentfully raised his foot to step on the fish that was still jumping by the well.

Two days ago, he was lucky and entertained a rich young man who came to buy birthday gifts for the elders in the family. He got a bunch of money as a reward. On the way back today, he saw fresh fish at a discount. He thought that his family might not have eaten it for a long time. It was meaty, so I bought two fresh fish for a dozen copper coins, but I didn't expect my mother to cut her hand, damn it!

"Wait!" Bai Chunsheng tugged at Zhou Maoqing dumbfounded, "Why are you so angry with this fish? It's common to kill fish and cut your hands, and Aunt Zhou bleeds so much, it's just a matter of stewing this fish." Tang Bubu, it's alright, you can go and sit with Aunt Zhou, I'll cook this fish today, I'm sure your tongue will be fresh!"

Bai Chunsheng asked Zhou Maoqing to help Aunt Zhou to sit on the side, lifted the hem of his clothes and stuffed it on the waistband of his trousers, picked up the half-killed fish, clasped the head of the fish with one hand, and held the kitchen knife in the other, and scraped it cleanly. Fish scales, wait until the fish scales on both sides are almost scraped, tilt the kitchen knife, and quickly cut the knife along the belly of the fish, only to hear the slight sound of the blade slicing through the fish, the belly of the fish is cut open, put down the kitchen knife , Quickly take out the internal organs of the fish, pick off the gills, clean the fish with the gills, and kill two fish in the blink of an eye.

Zhou's mother and son were all stunned.

No, as expected of a water demon, the skill and speed of killing fish are beyond the reach of mortals...

"Sister Young Qing, do you have onions and garlic at home?" Bai Chunsheng turned around and asked.

"Yes! I'll pick them!" Zhou Youqing stood up and walked to the abandoned flower bed in the yard, where Aunt Zhou planted some commonly used onions and garlic. Everything in the city costs money. I planted some in the yard, and it looks green and nice.

Bai Chunsheng had already found black sauce, dried chili peppers and a piece of old ginger from the cupboard next to the stove in the Zhou family. First, he cut the fish bodies of the two fish a few times and put them aside, sliced ​​the old ginger, washed the green onions and chopped them into green onions. Knot, heat the oil pan, throw the old ginger and scallion knots to sauté, then pour half a spoonful of black sauce, a dried chili, add two scoops of water after sautéing, cover the pot, wait for the water to boil, put the fish Go in, gently push the fish body with a spatula to prevent the fish body from sticking to the bottom of the pot, cover the pot, and simmer for a stick of incense on medium heat. When the pot lid is opened again, the fish soup has become When it is milky white, add coarse salt to taste, change the heat to high, put it out immediately after boiling, sprinkle with a little chopped green garlic, and a large pot of milky white and delicious fish soup is ready.

"Meow~" The whole yard is filled with the delicious taste of tempting fish soup. On the roof, I don't know when a yellow and white kitten ran over, with a big furry head and a pair of big round eyes. Salivating and staring at the fish soup in the clay pot.

"Brother Kunyu, do you want to eat fish?" Zhou Youqing raised his head and greeted the kitten warmly.

"Is he a cat demon?" This was the first time Bai Chunsheng saw a demon without a form, and he looked at the kitten curiously.

"That's right, Brother Bai, he is the second younger brother of Brother Wang's family, Wang Kunyu." Zhou Youqing explained with a smile.

"There's still a lot of fish soup, I can give him a bowl." Zhou Maoqing looked at Bai Chunsheng.

"Look at what I'm doing? Let him come down quickly, the thatch on the eaves is a little soft, if it falls off, it will be bad." Bai Chunsheng looked at the little fat cat with some greed. He had always wanted to raise one in his previous life. Scottish fold cat, it’s a pity that it’s here before it’s put into action. This kitten is chubby and has a round head. He is also willing to make fish soup!

The kitten probably could really understand what they were saying. It pursed its short ears and jumped down lightly along the stove. In Bai Chunsheng's hand was a clay pot containing fish soup.

Bai Chunsheng's heart was almost melted.

Worried that the kitten was starving, Bai Chunsheng was not in a hurry to cook other dishes. He hurriedly took a shallow pottery dish, filled it with a plate of fish soup, picked up some fish belly with chopsticks, and picked out the fish bones. Chop it into small pieces with chopsticks, put it on the plate, blow it, the pottery plate is open, the temperature of the fish soup dropped quickly, and the fish soup with some residual temperature is just right for kittens to eat.

The little chubby cat looked at Bai Chunsheng, meowed softly, lowered its head, and ate voraciously. Its thin ears were slightly red, and it purred while drinking the soup.

"Wang Dalang hasn't come back for the past few days, so he must have gone out with the boat, Ah Qing, you wait a while to fill up a bowl of fish soup, then pick up some vegetables, and send a bowl of rice to the opposite door. Auntie must have not eaten either. " Aunt Zhou reminded.

"Ai is Wang Dalang's younger sister, also a half-demon, but in human form, a very cute little lady, and very sensible. When Wang Dalang goes out, she stays at home with Kunyu." Aunt Zhou explained.

Hearing the word "half demon", the little chubby cat's fluffy body froze, noticing that none of the people around him felt disgusted, and continued to drink the fish soup in silence. The paw combed the beard, and the little pink tongue licked the paw pad to clean itself up.

What a sensible kitten.
