Chapter 181 Steamed Chicken and Steamed Fish

When Bi Lizhu came out to invite everyone to dinner.

I saw my nephew-in-law and nephew taking off their coats and digging a drainage ditch.

She couldn't help but gently pat her second daughter, who was standing aside watching the commotion:

How can you get them to do the work?

An Songyu turned to look at her mother, and shrugged helplessly:

"I didn't want to either!"

"But they won't listen to me!"

An Songlin, who was tamping down the soil that had been filling in the gaps, heard the sound and quickly looked up.

Upon seeing Bi Lizhu, he smiled and asked, "Mom, is it time for dinner?"

"That's right! The food is already on the table, and I still can't see you guys."

"Who knew you guys would be so busy working!" Bi Lizhu said, both amused and helpless.

"Third Aunt/Third Madam!" Everyone, whether they were working or not, greeted her.

My older cousin was cleaning the last spot in the drain when he laughed:

"Grandpa must have had this drainage ditch cleaned before the Lunar New Year."

“Apart from this crushed area, there is no problem anywhere else.”

"Third Aunt, we can finish this in no time!"

"You kids... really! If you've damaged it, just leave it! Why did you have to fix it today?" Bi Lizhu couldn't help but grumble a few times.

An Songyu quickly pushed her back first.

Although she knew that this was just her mother's personality.

But it's really not good to discourage my cousin's husband and cousin too much.

Bi Lizhu was pushed along by her daughter with a somewhat helpless expression, but she didn't forget to turn around and call out to the others:

"Then remember to come back soon!"

"Okay, okay!" came the responses one after another.

Watching people work is more appealing than anything else.

When the group returned, they cleaned up and put the food on the table.

The tables in the courtyard, big and small, were all full.

Today, everyone worked in the kitchen for a long time.

But the main dishes that actually made it to the table were the steamed chicken and steamed fish that An Songyu and the others had ordered.

The fish were caught this morning, and the chicken was killed.

Under the knife skills of An Jianping and his brothers, all the pieces were cut into slices or chunks of varying sizes.

Then, on the large stove lit in the middle of the courtyard, the largest iron pot was placed.

Chicken and fish bones, simmered in an iron pot, make a soup.

Place a steamer rack on top, and wait until the water below boils before putting the sliced ​​chicken on top to steam.

It also contains sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms.

The tender chicken is ready to serve shortly after being placed in the pot.

An Songyu was with a group of older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers and sisters.

Standing by the pot, everyone immediately took a few pieces after each batch was cooked.

Then, carrying the bowl, I ran to the table, dipped it in the sauce I had prepared beforehand, and the taste was absolutely divine.

that is……

"How many batches has this been? How come these kids still don't get tired of it?" An Jianping picked up a piece of soft white chicken, shaking his head as he ate.

He was in the first group to mess with these kids.

Now both brothers have changed jobs.

They finished the whole big bowl of chicken in the kitchen, and they weren't even tired of it yet.

“It’s alright, there’s definitely enough for them to eat!” Yuan Qionghua said confidently from the side.

The fish is being steamed now.

It was also served in the largest basin in the kitchen.

"No need to worry about that, there's really not enough food. We'll just kill and catch the animals on the spot later!" Uncle said with a hint of longing.

He's a real fisherman.

This was his first time visiting his brother-in-law's reservoir.

My first thought upon seeing this was that it would be a great place to fish when I have some free time.

Since there's no opportunity to go fishing these days, it's nice to catch some fish for the kids.

He just left home too late today, otherwise he could have made it to the morning's event.

An Jianjia, who was standing nearby, knew his character and said:

"There's still so much food on the table!"

"There's a big pot of soup over there, that should be enough for us."

Upon hearing this, the second uncle was quite disappointed.

An Jianguo, who was standing next to him, knew his brother-in-law's personality well, and he smiled and said:

"Everyone, eat well! Once you're full, we can do whatever we want later!"

"By the way, there's not much to do here, except for people playing mahjong and cards in the courtyard."

"You can also go fishing by the reservoir, or simply take a boat to the reservoir and catch some fish."

"Perfect timing, there are some relatively large fish in the reservoir, if we catch a lot, we can share them with everyone."

As for the fish they raise themselves, they were moved from Jiangcun.

When they were originally raised in Jiangcun, they were just small fish fry.

It's not time to harvest the fish yet.

Not to mention the fish fry they released into the reservoir after they leased it.

It was only when the reservoir was contracted that...

We still had someone come and clean the fish.

After all, we'll have to put the fish fry back in, and if there are large carnivorous fish living in the tank, the losses will be huge.

However, the result of the attempt was naturally not very good.

Before the previous owner left, he cleaned the reservoir completely.

The fish that could be caught from the reservoir at that time were all small fish fry that had grown up and reproduced naturally.

Compared to the vast reservoir.

That number is simply not enough.

After seeing the number of fish, the carnivorous fish were removed, and the remaining fish were put back in.

Although it's a bit of a hassle to set up, at least it gives me peace of mind when raising fish later.

My second aunt's husband didn't mind that the fish were small. When he heard that he could go fishing at the reservoir in the afternoon, he ate a little faster.

An Jianjia's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing this.

An Jianning, sitting next to her, quietly tugged at her sister's sleeve and said:

"Sis, isn't it great that your husband's hobby is just fishing?"

“You forgot? Just now, my sister-in-law and the others said that nearly a hundred people were punished in Jiang Village the night before last.”

"The vast majority of these are related to gambling."

"This doesn't apply to men or women!"

"To live in this world, one must have some hobbies and some fun."

An Jianjia took her sister's words to heart.

But she was still somewhat unwilling and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"That's because we don't have a large enough business to let him squander it."

An Jianjia has always been a very strong-willed person.

Whether it's at her parents' home or her husband's home, it doesn't matter.

It's always difficult to win first place.

This has shaped her current personality.

Fortunately, they were sisters who grew up together, and An Jianning understood her sister's personality.

She just smiled and didn't reply.

Then, naturally, the topic shifted to houses in good locations.

Sure enough, An Jianjia, who believed he had chosen a better position, softened his tone again.

An Songyu was enjoying the freshly cooked fish fillets with their delicious flavor, and was just about to share them with her parents.

Then I heard my two aunts talking.

She simply stayed put and listened in.

Listening to the two of them talk about the good land and the house.

Although construction should be completed by March, interior decoration will not be so quick.

The two sisters are now hesitant about whether to seriously renovate the house in Liangdi.

Or is it just a simple setup for future rental?

Of course, the two sisters' troubles are not exactly the same.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the two houses were built around the same time.

However, due to its location, An Jianjia's house was indeed built faster.

Therefore, her problem is even more urgent.
