Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Didn’t buy it?
The fishing net tied to the cement pipe was almost pushed off the pipe by the heavy fish.
Jiang Heng didn't dare to delay and walked over quickly to transfer the fish in the net into the bucket. He picked out some small fish and threw them back into the pond. He deliberately threw them a little far away to prevent these small fish from being swept away by the current.
When the rain stops, the fish washed into the fields will not survive long.
At this moment, Jiang Heng's bucket was about 70% full. She had a big bucket in her hand, and it was even heavier, weighing at least 50 kilograms. Now, she was not worried about how to eat it, but whether she could finish eating so many fish.
When she got home, Jiang Heng was almost soaked. Fortunately, she was able to use the dust removal technique. In the blink of an eye, she was a clean and fresh girl again. Her shoes that were covered with mud and water became white again. Except that they looked a little old because they had been worn for a long time, there was no trace of mud.
The dust removal trick is really useful!
I found another unused large basin, filled it with water, and poured all the fish in the bucket into it. One basin was not enough, so I divided it into two and put them all in the backyard. I added some spiritual water into it, and the already energetic fish all began to stir.
These fish are all two or three pounds in size, and the smallest crucian carp weighs almost one pound, which is considered quite large among wild fish.
The force of the roll was so strong that water splashed all over her.
Jiang Heng glared and wanted to cut the fish directly and serve it on the table, but he held back. He thought that it would taste better if he let it rest for a while, so he carefully selected a small crucian carp and went to the kitchen. He wanted to call his aunt-in-law to ask her to come over for dinner, but it was raining heavily at the moment, so he gave up and went back to send a fish over. His aunt-in-law's cooking skills were also quite good.
Thinking about it, I’ll go steam the rice first.
After the rice is ready, start processing the fish.
A water blade appeared in the palm of her hand, and she easily broke open the fish's belly, took out the internal organs, removed the scales, and cut off the excess part of the tail. After the whole fish was cleaned, Jiang Heng lit the fire and heated the oil. She planned to make fish soup, and the fish had to be fried until both sides were golden brown first, so she quickly pinched the fish's tail and put it in.
The not-so-hot oil immediately sizzled when it came into contact with the fish.
Fry the upper half for a while longer. When both sides are golden brown, you can add the onion, ginger, and garlic. I don’t want the ginger to be milky white, so I didn’t add the poached egg. Pour water and process the mushrooms. Tear the mushrooms into small pieces, wash them, and when the water is boiling, throw the mushrooms in. Add some salt, a little cooking wine, a few drops of white vinegar, and pepper, and wait for it to cook.
Jiang Heng’s cooking skills are not that great, but by following the instructions and using good ingredients, she can still make delicious food.
For example, now.
The crucian carp is purely wild, and the onions, ginger and garlic are all directly grown by her spiritual power. The mushrooms are also spiritual. Just cook a mushroom fish soup, and the fragrance will spread throughout the house. It is so delicious that people can't stop recalling the most delicious fish soup in their lives.
While waiting, Jiang Heng quickly made a dish of lettuce with oyster sauce.
The minced garlic is stir-fried in oil, and then salt, oyster sauce, soy sauce and other seasonings are added. After stirring, the mixture is poured over the soaked lettuce, which immediately turns the tender green lettuce a touch of brown.
The meal was quick, and it was done in less than half an hour.
The rice in the rice cooker is not cooked yet.
Jiang Heng first made himself a bowl of fish soup. The fish soup was not so white, but rather yellowish, with some oil floating on it. It was a little too hot, and frost formed on the palm of Jiang Heng's hand. In less than 30 seconds, the frost melted, and the originally boiling hot fish soup also cooled down a little. It was still warm, but not so hot anymore.
Just take a sip, the slightly salty and delicious hot soup passes from the tip of your tongue all the way to your stomach, and the coolness in the air seems to be expelled instantly, leaving only a satisfying and soothing feeling.
It’s so delicious!!!
It’s true that the better the ingredients, the tastier the dishes will be!

"I shouldn't have saved that little money! The ingredients are wrong. I used the same steps, but the taste is so different?!"
In a resident's home in the county town, the old man who was in charge of buying groceries looked at the same fried mushrooms in front of him, took a bite, and sighed with regret.
The old lady in charge of cooking was so worried that her hair felt like falling out. When she looked at her old man, she was even more furious: "Look at you, why didn't you buy more?! I told you to buy more mushrooms. If you can't eat all of them, you can dry them or sun-dry them. It won't be wasted. And now you're like this?"
The old man felt guilty and tried to defend himself, "These mushrooms are too expensive. The ones your grandson loves to eat, the cheapest ones are 70 yuan a pound! Who would be willing to spend that much? I'm just trying to find another one. Maybe there are cheaper wild mushrooms in the supermarket."
The old woman sneered, "You just can't bear to spend money! When will supermarkets around here sell wild mushrooms this good? Wait until next year!"
The old man fought back: "If you hadn't cooked all the mushrooms at noon, would it be like this now?!"
The old lady shouted even louder: "...Didn't you say it was cold and you wanted to drink some mushroom soup to warm yourself up?!"
Old man: “…………”
The two of them argued with each other for a while, and then both covered their heads.
It's just mushrooms, no big deal.
Unfortunately, today's situation is special. It rained heavily yesterday. When I went to pick up my grandson with an umbrella, he was still soaked. Today, when it rained again, he refused to go to school. Both of us old people attach great importance to going to school, even if it is the second grade of elementary school. So we tried every way to coax the child until we thought of a way -
Promise to fry mushrooms for him when he comes back.
A few days ago, an old man went to buy vegetables and met a little girl selling mushrooms. The mushrooms smelled very fragrant. Thinking that his grandson was clamoring to eat fried mushrooms, and the mushrooms in the supermarket looked juicy, he was a little disgusted, so after coming out, he tried to buy some of these expensive mushrooms.
This explosion was a big deal.
My grandson immediately fell in love with it and asked for it with every meal.
However, the child's parents don't let him eat too much fried food, especially since the child has too much meat on his body. So after several persuasions, he can basically eat it once every other day. He just ate it yesterday, and he didn't want to eat it today, but I promised to do so to coax the child.
But at noon, the old man casually said he wanted to drink mushroom soup.
Well, actually they both love to eat it. These mushrooms are expensive, but it has to be said that they are really worth it and they taste good no matter how you cook them.
I just make some soup at any time and it’s so delicious.
In addition, they feel relaxed all over after eating a little bit every day. When people get old, even if they try hard to take care of their bodies, it is undeniable that various body functions decline. Eating these mushrooms feels like eating good things like Cordyceps sinensis bought by their daughter-in-law before. Of course, the feeling is not so strong, but breathing, walking, and even sleeping are more comfortable.
The two men felt that it made sense that wild mushrooms were so expensive. However, even though they knew it, the old man, who had been frugal all his life, was reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a bunch to eat slowly, so each time he only bought a few dozen yuan, which was enough for one or two meals, and then he would buy more the next day.
As a result, after a rain, they were greedy for a while and made mushroom soup with the remaining mushrooms at noon. Then when they were about to make dinner, they found that there was no mushrooms at home!
The old man went to the supermarket with an umbrella to buy mushrooms, thinking of making a fool of himself. The old lady also tried her best to recreate the previous method of frying mushrooms, and even fried them better than before. The egg flour batter was made more evenly, and after frying, they were golden and shiny.
However, the difference was obvious just by smelling the aroma, let alone tasting it, so both of them were silent.
The mushrooms that I thought were okay before, now taste... bland and unpalatable, especially compared to the delicious food I had at noon. It's like chewing a piece of tasteless gum.
The big devil is about to leave school. If this gets out of hand...
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
As time was approaching, the old lady glanced out the window and made the final decision: "Go to the square over there and see if the stall owner has arrived. It's not raining much now, maybe the boss will come. Buy more when he comes. I'll go pick up my grandson."
The old man nodded: "Okay!"
——
The old man hurried to catch the bus.
The rain had indeed stopped, and when he got off the bus, the sun came out for a few seconds, shining on his body and feeling quite warm.
The weather is so nice, the boss should be here, right?!
However, when he arrived at the location where he was allowed to set up a stall, his heart sank.
The sushi stall was there, the fried skewers stall was there, and the stinky tofu stall was there, but the only stall selling mushrooms on a tricycle was missing.
At this moment, someone else came over and exclaimed in the same way: "Hasn't the mushroom seller come yet?!"
"Don't they all set up stalls here around 5:30?"
Several people who got off a bus, seemingly all for mushrooms, gathered here without any prior arrangement, looking at the empty seats and sighing.
Song Ming was selling sushi while listening attentively. Upon hearing this, he immediately shouted to help explain: "It rained today, so the boss didn't go to pick mushrooms. If it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, he will go to pick them."
As for picking them... whether or not to do it depends on whether it rains or not.
Of course I won’t say this for fear of driving away customers.
The old man looked disappointed: "We've run out of mushrooms!"
A young man next to him also said: "Yeah, hey, I bought too little the past two days. Mushrooms are so delicious. I can't eat enough for three meals a day. I should have bought more earlier."
Zhang Yan had just finished get off work and rushed over. When she saw this, she was also disappointed. She said helplessly, "I came here to buy mulberries. I didn't expect the boss really didn't come. This is all business! It's all about money!"
A diner next to me immediately asked, "Are mulberries delicious? I saw mulberries the day before yesterday, but they were too expensive, 30 yuan per pound, so I didn't buy any."
Zhang Yan immediately said, "Delicious! Really, those mulberries that are ripe just right. And most importantly, they're very clean and not astringent. I highly recommend buying them!"
The customer was a little tempted: "I'll buy some to try next time."
Zhang Yan was also happy to see that Amway had given out a copy.
She has never eaten mushrooms, but she has eaten mulberries. Her boyfriend also ate them and they tasted really good.
The key is...
That night, my boyfriend, who had recently suffered from severe insomnia, fell asleep before midnight!
You have to know that he used to suffer from insomnia until four or five in the morning, and sometimes he would stay up all night, and his daily routine was very chaotic.
Originally, the two of them didn't think about mulberries, but perhaps because they mentioned mulberries so often, big data noticed it and kept pushing related videos and posts. They happened to see one talking about the benefits of mulberries, which contain melatonin, anthocyanins and multiple vitamins. Then they suddenly realized that the mulberries from the boss's house might be of good quality, which could slightly relieve his insomnia symptoms.
So I was looking forward to buying some more, but it rained yesterday, and as expected, I didn’t buy anything. But now the rain has stopped, but the stall owner still didn’t come!
Oh my god, business is so good that the stall owner can even take a break!
Is this reasonable?!
However, no matter how disappointed you are, it’s nothing.
Several people were visibly groaning. Just then, a middle-aged man carrying a shoulder pole came over and said hurriedly, "Fresh mushrooms, freshly picked from the mountain. They're cheap and delicious. They're so tasty. Come and take a look."
Song Ming's expression changed slightly.
She knew this person. He was among the vegetable vendors at the other intersection. He might have known that Jiang Heng didn't come today and guessed that some people would come to buy mushrooms but return empty-handed, so he came over specifically to solicit customers.
However, the situation didn't seem to be what he expected. Several people were indeed attracted by the sound and took a closer look. However, after seeing what kind of mushrooms were being sold, they turned away in disappointment. The middle-aged man quickly shouted, "They are really wild mushrooms! They are all picked from the mountains! Fresh!"
So the few people who had originally planned to leave walked faster.
The middle-aged man was stunned. He seemed to have not expected that there would be no one coming to buy. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to set up the stall.
Song Ming felt relieved and quickly relayed the scene to Jiang Heng.
Oh my god, she actually made a friend who was a stall owner who was being chased by customers. He only recognized her and wouldn't buy mushrooms from other stalls! Just like in those videos online.
I thought Jiang Heng would be happy with her.
Results saw the reply:
[Jiang Heng: It's time for you to take action! Go ahead, Pika Pika]
[Song Ming:?]
Song Ming: !!!
After hearing what the parties involved said, Song Ming understood immediately and shouted, "Beef and mushroom sushi! Super delicious beef and mushroom sushi made with mushrooms!"
Sure enough, the next second, someone stopped.
Song Ming continued his efforts and opened a box of beef and mushroom sushi without hesitation. "I guarantee it's worth the money! I bought mushrooms from the mushroom stall next door and made them myself!"
At this moment, the original few people stopped at the same time.
Even the owner of the noodle shop opposite popped his head out to take a look.
The old man, who was already worried about how to explain the situation when he got home, turned around and asked, "Is it really made with mushrooms from that boss's shop?"
Song Ming nodded confidently, "Of course, I have her contact information. If I want to buy mushrooms, I'll definitely buy from her store! And just smell this aroma? Twenty-five yuan a box, it's really a good deal!"
The old man had already smelled it. It was indeed the familiar aroma of mushrooms. He immediately said decisively, "Give me a box."
"Okay!" Song Ming smiled brightly and quickly picked up an unopened bag: "If it tastes good, come back for more."
The old man finally smiled with satisfaction.
In fact, I feel a little regretful.
I bought several 81-pound fir mushrooms for 25 yuan.
It's definitely more than the mushrooms you'd find in sushi.
If he had known that the boss would not come to sell mushrooms today and his family would have gone hungry, he would never have bought only half a pound last time!
Thinking of this, I quickly went to catch a ride back.
But this delay was too late. The primary school was not far from home. When he returned home, his chubby grandson was rolling on the ground, his chubby face red with anger: "Wow, you lied! You lied again! We said there would be mushrooms to eat at school!"
"I want to eat that mushroom, not this one! Woohoo, you're lying!"
The old woman at home was worried and coaxed him: "Your grandfather just went to buy mushrooms. We can eat them when he comes back..."
The eldest grandson didn't believe it. He had been deceived several times and this time he didn't believe anything he said. "It's been so long and you haven't come back yet. You must be lying! It must be a lie!"
As the noise was going on, the door opened.
The old man came in.
The grandparents and grandchildren in the room all looked over.
The eldest grandson asked eagerly, "Grandpa, where are the mushrooms?"
The old man subconsciously hid his hands behind his back, feeling guilty, but then he suddenly remembered and handed the bag over: "The mushroom vendor didn't pick mushrooms today because it rained, but I bought some -"
Before he could finish his words, the eldest grandson burst into tears again: "Wow, wow, wow! I want to eat mushrooms, I want to eat mushrooms! Wow, wow, wow..."
This time I was really sad and tears came out.
Old lady: “!”
When I heard the bad news, I felt dizzy!
What a sin!
I actually didn’t buy it!!!
