Chapter 109 Fish and Shrimp
Previously, my mother-in-law complained that raising ducks was a waste of food and said it was not cost-effective. But now there were twenty ducks in the yard, so Qiao Xuan was naturally surprised.
Fang said with a smile: "Didn't your third brother go to the city today? I asked him to buy it back!"
She lowered her voice and chuckled with pride and satisfaction, "Now we don't have to worry about not having food to raise ducks! When the duck grows up, you can kill it and cook it whenever you want to eat it, and we can all have a taste!"
Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows and nodded repeatedly with a giggle: "Okay, okay, duck can be made into many dishes! Mom will let you taste my cooking skills when the time comes!"
Shao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up: "Fifth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, why don't I go to the city and buy two big ducks when the market is open in a few days?"
Fang glared at him with amusement: "What a shame, boy! When did you learn your third brother's bad habits?"
Everybody laughed.
Shao Xiaoqi laughed, feeling a little embarrassed, and scooped a handful of dried shrimps from the bucket and threw them on the ground.
Qiao Xuan's attention was drawn back to her, and she asked hurriedly, "Are you two going to the river to catch fish and shrimp?"
She leaned over to take a look and saw many shrimps in the wooden barrel, including dried shrimps the size of chopstick heads and small fish the size of fingers. They looked delicious.
Qiao Xuan felt distressed when she saw them happily picking up the food to feed the ducks and geese.
Original ecology and pollution-free, fresh river shrimps and fresh small fish!
This is all delicious!
Yes, I have been focusing on the mountains for some time and forgot about the water.
These days, there are so many fish and shrimps in the water.
"It's a pity to feed these shrimps to ducks and geese. They are so delicious when cooked!"
Shao Taotao opened her eyes wide: "Fifth sister-in-law, fish and shrimp have a strong fishy smell and are not delicious. No one in our village likes to eat them!"
Shao Xiaoqi's mind was moved: "Fifth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, can you use fish and shrimp to cook? There are plenty in the river, I'll go get them now!"
Shao Taotao also reacted: "Ah? I can too! I'll go too!"
It is true that fish and shrimp have a strong fishy smell. How can rural people be willing to put too much oil in them? They are even more reluctant to use wine to remove the fishy smell. You can imagine what fish and shrimp with little oil, little salt, and still a fishy smell taste like.
Over time, except during famine years when there is no choice, people usually don't think of eating fish or shrimp.
It would be fine to just catch the small fish and shrimp and feed them to the chickens and ducks.
Qiao Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Of course these fish and shrimp can be used to cook dishes! There are so many kinds! I can't list them all at once. Are there a lot of fish and shrimp in the river? Let's go to the river and cook some delicious dishes tonight!"
"Yes, yes!"
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao both cheered. They no longer cared about feeding the ducklings and geese. One went to get a bucket, and the other went to get a net to catch fish and shrimps.
I happen to have such a fishing net at home. I don’t know when it was made, but I have never used it much.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go to the city tomorrow to see if there are any fishing rods for sale. It would be nice to buy two and go fishing."
However, this kind of thing that ordinary people can't use may not be sold, so it's better to ask a craftsman to make a few fish hooks.
Seeing them like this, Fang was a little amused and said, "What they say is what they say! The older they get, the more naughty they become! Take good care of your fifth sister-in-law, her safety is the most important thing."
"I know!" Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao replied from a distance.
Soon we arrived at the river, where the gently flowing water was covered with dense aquatic plants on both sides.
See you at 12 o'clock
