Chapter 141 I’ll show you a trick

Su Heng lived a very leisurely life in the days that followed.

She would take time out every day to go to the greenhouse to ask about the daily situation, and when she saw that everything was going on in an orderly manner, she would slowly stroll back home.

Her elder brother is really a talented person.

It doesn't feel good to be a hands-off boss.

Su Heng said to Lu Mingchuan, "It feels so good to have everyone else busy while we're the only ones relaxing and slacking off."

Lu Mingchuan laughed: "I don't see you worrying less."

"I really don't have to worry about it this time."

It snowed again last night. Su Heng was wearing leather boots, and the snow squeaking sounded as she stepped on it.

She specifically chose to step on places that she had never stepped on before.

The sound of thick, new snow collapsing underfoot is very relaxing.

Lu Mingchuan was worried and held her hand tightly, like holding a child.

"Be careful not to get your shoes wet. I'd better carry you on my back."

Su Heng refused: "No, these are leather boots, waterproof, understand?"

The temperature was low at that time and the snow would not melt even if it got on my boots.

She was wearing a silver-gray rabbit fur hat, and looked particularly lively and playful.

Lu Mingchuan looked at her and felt tenderness in his heart. Seeing that her hands were warm, he stopped trying to dissuade her.

The winter fields were silent. Last night's snow covered the ground and a thick layer of ice formed on the river.

Su Heng suddenly said, "Why don't we go fishing this afternoon?"

Lu Mingchuan was about to object when he heard her prediction in advance.

"It's cold outside, I know. Just wear more clothes. I'm only just pregnant and there are still nine months left. Are you planning on not letting me do anything?"

"When did I say that?" Lu Mingchuan said helplessly.

He never objected to anything Su Heng really wanted to do.

"It's no use talking about it. Chinese New Year is coming soon. Don't you think our dinner table is still missing a plate of fish?"

Since she said so, Lu Mingchuan had no choice but to go back to the house to get his fishing tools.

During this season, some people in the team also go fishing.

But the weather was too cold, so they worked together to break the ice and cast their nets to catch the fish.

Lu Mingchuan and Su Heng didn't plan to join in the fun, so they went to cut two bamboos to make fishing rods.

In fact, the fishing rod is just for show. If Su Heng wants to catch fish, there is no need for any tools.

But Wenshu still has to pretend when he is at home.

The two men went to the river with their simple tools.

Basically no one comes to their section of the river, so Su Heng just waits on the side for Lu Mingchuan to cut the ice.

The ice was very thick, so he chiseled a small hole about 40 centimeters in diameter.

Su Heng waited until he was done before moving the small stool over and said in a pretentious manner, "Young man, let me show you a trick."

Lu Mingchuan sat down silently opposite her and blocked the other side of the hole for her.

Their place is remote and few people come here.

Even if they came, their figures blocked the entrance to the cave, and it would be impossible to see clearly from a distance.

If you get closer, they will notice it.

Su Heng gave him a look of approval for his progress.

Then he extended his hand with a mysterious look on his face and said, "Come out, fishes."

As her words rang out, waves began to surge beneath the calm ice, and the grass seeds that had been dormant underwater began to grow wildly.

The fish in the water didn't know what was happening. They were driven and entangled by the crazy water plants, and then the fish were driven towards the cave entrance one by one.

These fish are rarely caught in winter, which is when they are at their fattest.

At this moment, they were either chased out of the cave or entangled by water plants and thrown out.

Anyway, it started raining fish at this little hole.

Among them was a particularly large grass carp, which was startled and jumped up, but because it was too long, its head hit the ice and could not jump out.

He used too much force and nearly died on the spot.

Lu Mingchuan picked it up with his bare hands.

"This one is big, it must weigh at least ten pounds." Su Heng's eyes were curved with smile.

The fish was placed on the ice and soon frozen solid.

The smaller ones in the wave of fish she drove out were yellow catfish.

This kind of fish has few bones and tender meat, and is delicious when stewed in soup or braised.

There are also some crucian carp, which people here call sand crucian carp, and the meat is also very tender.

There are also some crucian carp. Although the two names are similar, they look a little different.

Su Heng didn't want the ones that were too small, so she picked up the ones with fewer thorns and tasted better and threw them into the basket beside her.

There were still several grass carps, all of which were quite large. Lu Mingchuan picked them up and threw them into the basket.

There are so many fish, enough for them to eat.

Su Heng stopped, and the grass roots that had been growing wildly at the bottom of the water quickly withered and dried up. The vitality they had been given was taken away, and they fell back into the soil.

The two packed up their things and went home carrying a large basket of fish.

Wen Shu was very surprised to see that they caught so many fish. He didn't expect that his son-in-law was not only good at hunting, but also good at fishing.

It seems that my daughter will be well taken care of during her pregnancy.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Is it fish soup or braised food for lunch?"

Su Heng has a strong taste, so of course she would choose braised food.

"Let's braise it. Braised crucian carp needs to be cooked with tofu to make it more delicious. Oh, and when my eldest brother comes back, tell him to go to the city and bring us some tofu tomorrow."

Su Jing heard this as soon as he entered the door and said, "No need to wait until tomorrow, I have to go today."

"Brother, are you back so early today?"

Several people shifted their gaze from the fish basket to look at him.

"Come back early to eat, we're rushing to the city in the afternoon." Su Jing said, and exclaimed in amazement when he saw the basket of fish by the pond.

"With so much fish, it looks like we'll have another treat at noon. It all comes down to my brother-in-law, he's really capable."

Obviously, because of their previous stereotypes about hunting, the mother and son both thought that the fish was caught by Lu Mingchuan.

Su Heng just smiled and didn't explain.

Lu Mingchuan took a knife and started to kill the fish. He took advantage of the fact that the fish was not completely frozen yet, scraped off the scales and gills, and prepared the fish.

Next time Su Heng wants to eat it, she just needs to thaw it and put it directly into the pot.

"Let's cook this for lunch." Su Heng pointed at the yellow catfish.

This fish is called differently in different places, and she doesn't know what it is called here.

Lu Mingchuan followed his instructions and dealt with the fish first.

The woman who was afraid of getting pregnant couldn't stand the smell of fish, so he said, "You should go inside and rest for a while. Killing fish has a strong smell."

Even Zhaocai smelled the scent and came over to act coquettishly.

Lu Mingchuan took out the internal organs from the fish and threw them into the cat bowl, and it ate without even raising its head.

Su Jing squatted over and petted the cat. Zhaocai was not annoyed and even made a comfortable purring sound.

"Okay then, I'll go inside and have a glass of water. Would you like some?" Su Heng felt a little hot after working for a while, so he took off his hat.

Lu Mingchuan nodded: "Then pour me a glass."

His hands were dirty, so Su Heng brought him some water and he drank from her hands.

Su Jing felt that he was really an eyesore in the yard, so he turned around and went into the house to pour himself some water.

When Su Heng saw this, she gave him money and asked him to bring tofu.

In fact, tofu is usually exchanged for soybeans nowadays, but Su Heng’s family doesn’t have that, so it’s more convenient to just buy it directly.

Unexpectedly, Su Jing waved his hand and said, "No need. Your brother still has money to buy tofu."

He eats for free every day, so why would he ask for money to buy vegetables?
