Chapter 129 My Wife is a Fairy Man
Although I had a very memorable birthday yesterday.
But today the fish in the net still attracted Xu Wenyan to get up early.
Ever since he got the peace locket given by Xu Wenyan, Chen Sanlin can't put it down. Not only does he carry it with him wherever he goes, he also touches and rubs it from time to time, like a treasure.
Xu Wenyan's intuition told him that he would definitely be able to get a large shipment this time.
Putting two large backpacks on the ground, Xu Wenyan began to pull the bamboo pole fixed on the shore.
"Hey, wow, why is it so heavy?"
Xu Wenyan pulled hard with both hands until veins popped out, and he finally pulled the fishing net up after a while.
As the net was pulled up, strips of silvery white luster were exposed to the sun, and there were four fish hanging on one net, which was no faster than fishing.
Maybe because I have been online for a long time, these fish are no longer very active.
"These two big backpacks are wasted."
Although the harvest was not as good as expected, as long as there was some gain, it was not in vain that I spent those few hours weaving the web.
When Xu Wenyan returned home after closing the net, only Xiaohu was at home.
"Hey, Brother Xu, you're back." Xiaohu took two steps forward and took the basket from Xu Wenyan's hand: "Brother Xu, you are amazing. I've only seen fish this big in the county."
"Let's cook the biggest one today." Xu Wenyan hung the net to dry and began to process the four fish.
Keep the biggest one and use a kitchen knife to kill the rest of the fish with two hits. Then scrape off the scales, cut open their bellies, and then cut them in half, but keep them connected in the middle.
Xu Wenyan was planning to make smoked fish, but since there wasn't enough salt, he could only preserve it by smoking.
During this period, Xiaohu followed him and helped him.
"Huzi, you are so attentive, what bad things are you hiding?"
"No! Brother Xu, I'm just helping you." Xiaohu said a little anxiously.
Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Okay, I still have a lot of work to do."
After marinating the largest fish, Xu Wenyan carried a hoe and went to the field.
It is only September now, and this year is much hotter than last year. Xu Wenyan plans to plant another crop of vegetables, and now it is time to sow wheat. Xu Wenyan has been craving for that big white flour for a long time.
There are fewer insects in autumn and winter, so you can harvest in March or April next year.
Xu Wenyan carried a hoe and went to the field. The yield of the first crop of new land would be small, so he had to wait and see how the second crop would go.
The first thing is to turn the soil. There are still a lot of roots in the soil, which need to be turned out and dried in the sun.
Xiaohu is also a good farmer and naturally knows more than Xu Wenyan.
This time, Xu Wenyan also turned over the land below, and he would be able to sow wheat, cabbage and radish tomorrow.
The two were busy until noon. During this time, Xu Wenyan found it amusing to see Xiaohu hesitant to speak, but he did not expose Xiaohu.
Xu Wenyan took out the fish that he had pickled with a knife from behind in the morning: "Huzi, wash the shovel and make sure it's clean."
"it is good."
Pour out the pickling water, wash the fish again, chop off the bones, cut the fish into pieces and dry them.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Wenyan began to prepare the sauce.
Cut a few slices of ginger, chili peppers, add onion knots and some salt. Since there was no soy sauce or cooking wine, Xu Wenyan had to use sour pear juice to remove the fishy smell.
Then sprinkle the sauce on the fish and spread it evenly. It also needs to marinate for a quarter of an hour.
"Huzi, how's the shovel?"
There were no frying pans in that era, so Xu Wenyan had to use this shovel instead, as they were all almost the same anyway.
"It's clean. It's clean."
Asking Xiaohu to preheat the shovel, Xu Wenyan cut some yam and kudzu root pieces and washed them with water.
Brush a layer of oil on the spatula and start baking.
"Brother Xu, what's this method? I've never seen it before." Xiaohu stood by and watched the fire with a look of curiosity.
After the spicy taste is stimulated by the sesame oil, the fish meat is easy to cook, and you have to keep watching it at this time.
"What are you secretly cooking at home? It smells so good." Wang Dongmei was carrying a basket of walnuts, and the others were carrying firewood.
This is the only work we do every day, and everyone has become adept at it.
The whole family gathered around the stove. Xu Wenyan served the grilled fish, added hot water to a spatula, and then put the chopped vegetables in.
"This is called hot pot. Although it's a little crude now, it's still good enough to satisfy your craving."
Pick up a piece of fish, the fish skin has a burnt smell, and the snow-white fish meat inside is fresh and fragrant. Because there are a lot of seasonings, the fish meat does not have any earthy smell at all.
"Xu, Brother Xu, this grilled fish smells so good. What did you secretly add there just now?" Xiaohu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth. Even though it was very hot, he was reluctant to spit it out. He just fried it in his mouth again and then swallowed it with a hiss.
"There must be some secret recipe." Chen Xingjie said, "My father once took me to a restaurant in the county for dinner. The food there was just as delicious. The waiter said that these were secret recipes and ordinary people couldn't make them."
Wang Dongmei also tried it and said, "It's so precious. It's really delicious."
When Chen Sanlin mentioned this secret recipe, he thought of the time when he was in Baihualou, when his wife seemed to have sold some recipe.
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan with some confusion. How come his wife knew everything? And it was said that his personality was not like this before.
He used to speak softly, very gentle, which matched his name very well. I don’t know why his personality changed after he married me.
Moreover, he seemed to be too capable. He was good at both literature and martial arts. He could farm, hunt, do business, and read. Moreover, when he was fighting with those deserters before, the moves his wife used were too bizarre.
Although they are not killing moves, each move and each style can make the enemy lose the ability to move, without killing anyone and making the enemy unable to pose a threat to oneself.
Hunters like me are actually just very strong and can deal with animals well.
All signs show that his wife is very suspicious.
Could it be...
Before Chen Sanlin could come up with anything, he heard a cursing voice in his ear.
"Why are you staring at me? Eat quickly, Xiaohu is about to grab all the food." Xu Wenyan frowned and used his chopsticks to pick up the grilled fish for Chen Sanlin and fed him.
"You can't even eat shit while it's hot." Xu Wenyan was really worried.
Chen Sanlin enjoyed Xu Wenyan's feeding.
My wife is so nice to me, she must be a fairy!
No, no, it’s an immortal man!
After eating and drinking, the family had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they worked together to cultivate the land.
There are wooden boxes in front of the yard, and inside the boxes are seedlings that have been grown in advance.
Again.
Xu Wenyan likes to be well prepared when doing things, and to take it easy if possible.
He doesn't like the feeling of being rushed.
