Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Raise your own fish?
It really exploded.
Ge Dongfang just wanted to try out her idea to see if it would work. She didn't buy many chicken mushrooms as she had never cooked with them before. Fortunately, there were many tutorials online. It happened that there was not much business at the moment, so her husband could handle it by himself. She could handle it carefully in the kitchen herself. After all, it was only 200 yuan per pound.
For the torch mushroom, the cap and the handle are handled separately, especially the part of the handle buried in the ground. The dirt should be carefully brushed off with a brush, and finally all of it should be torn into strands. The texture of the torn handle is very similar to the feeling of torn chicken breast.
The quality of this torch mushroom is really good. The inside of the umbrella handle is not hollow at all and it is very tight.
Then you can burn the oil.
First fry the umbrella cover over high heat until it is soft, then put in the umbrella handle. When the handle is soft and the moisture is fried dry, you can turn to low heat and add seasoning at the same time. People here like spicy food, so Ge Dongfang added a lot of peppercorns and dried chilies in addition to salt.
But neither of them expected that this guy's fragrance would be so prominent and so tempting!
Even before adding any seasoning, the aroma is already spreading.
Ge Dongfang was staring at it nervously and intently, afraid that a single mistake would mean the two hundred yuan worth of chicken mushrooms would go to waste. She hadn't noticed the overpowering aroma herself, but when her husband came in to take a look, she got annoyed and said, "Go wipe the table if you have nothing to do!"
After adding the seasoning, the aroma was enhanced to a higher level, and my husband just stood there and refused to leave.
Ge Dongfang was even more annoyed: "What are you doing again? Standing here with a door god?"
The husband said helplessly: "...There were too many guests, so I hid in."
Ge Dongfang:?
Isn’t it a good thing to have many guests?
Why is this happening? No one's ordering?
Seeing the low fire working steadily and the oil in the wok glowing yellow, she curiously went out to take a look. As soon as she emerged, she saw the eagerly awaited customers' eyes light up: "Boss, is the fried chicken mushroom ready?!"
Ge Dongfang: "Ah?"
The customer eagerly asked, "Aren't you going to serve something new? Let's try it!"
The person who was speaking was one of the people who had queued with Ge Dongfang before. She had originally planned to buy mushrooms first, then go shopping in the supermarket for a while to buy some other vegetables, and then go back to cook. However, after shopping for a while, she bought so many things that she could not carry them anymore.
If you don’t want to take the bus, just ask your mother to take her there when she passes by after get off work.
So I ended up back at the place where I bought the mushrooms. Before I could even wait, I smelled something incredibly delicious. Looking closer, I realized it was the noodle shop where I'd bought the chicken mushrooms and asked for fried chicken mushroom oil!
Is this fried chicken mushroom ready?!
Then she really wants to try it.
I went over with my bags and wanted to order food.
However, the male boss said, "It's not fried yet, so you can't order chicken mushroom oil noodles now."
guest:?
Is this possible?!
She couldn't bear to leave after smelling the fragrance, so she simply said, "Can I wait a little longer? It smells so good! I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't have it!"
The male boss hesitated for a moment, thinking that there was only one customer, and said, "It will probably take quite a while. If you can handle it, just wait."
Customer: “No problem, no problem!”
The next second, two more customers came over, smelling the aroma and curiously asking, "Boss, what are you frying? It smells so good!"
The male boss explained: "It's chicken mushroom oil, bought from the mushroom stall next door."
The two of them immediately wanted to buy some, but first asked, "How much is this chicken mushroom? It seems like a very expensive mushroom."
The male boss nodded distressedly and muttered, "Yes, two hundred per pound."
The two sat down decisively: "Let's eat here directly."
It’s too expensive and I can’t afford it. It’s enough to just eat something cheap here to try the flavor.
Male boss: “……?”
Feeling a little guilty, he said tactfully, "We plan to sell this tomorrow morning."
Customer: "No, we're already here! It doesn't matter whether we sell it tomorrow morning or today. Boss, your store closes at 8 o'clock anyway, and we're all regular customers."
The male boss was speechless, especially since he had already promised a customer. Hesitantly, he returned to the kitchen, wanting to tell his wife something, but when he saw how focused she was, he didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would scold him for her concentrating on her work.
However, it was not over yet. The fourth, fifth... guests came in one after another, attracted by the fragrance.
Some people chose to leave after asking about the situation, while others couldn't stand the smell and stayed.
The store, which was not very big to begin with, was immediately filled with people, and some were even waiting outside.
The male boss was completely out of control and didn't dare to stay in the store. He hid in the kitchen.
Then the scene that Ge Dongfang just saw happened.
Ge Dongfang: “…………”
——
Ge Dongfang was both happy and worried.
How can this be done?!
So many guests!
Could her fried chicken mushrooms weigh a pound?
So should we do this business?
It only took her a second to figure it out. She must do it. With so many customers, most of whom were regular customers who frequently bought breakfast at her restaurant, how could she turn them away?
Since she was going to make it, she couldn't cut corners, so she went back to the kitchen and said to her husband, "This chicken mushroom oil can only make twenty bowls at most, but you have to save some for tomorrow morning. Go out and tell them that there's not much, only fifteen servings. Then there will be a queue, otherwise the extra ones will be gone, and the price..."
Ge Dongfang thought for a moment and decided on the price: "30 yuan per portion. Chicken mushrooms are not cheap, and this chicken mushroom oil noodles will definitely not be cheap either. I'm telling you this in advance so that others won't think it's expensive."
"Okay!" The male boss wanted to go out immediately when he heard there was a solution.
Ge Dongfang quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, before that, go see if the owner of the mushroom stall still has any chicken mushrooms. If he does, buy them all! Then we can make more."
The male boss nodded blankly and slipped out among the waiting diners. However, as he walked over, he saw a slightly plump middle-aged woman buying the remaining chicken mushrooms. He immediately went back disappointed and told the diners in the room that the portion was small, only fifteen servings.
The guests quickly looked at each other and found that there were only about ten people. They immediately felt relieved and took the initiative to pay first: "No problem, no problem, boss, take your time."
"I'll have one, but replace the noodles with rice noodles."
"boss……"
For a moment, all the sounds were about placing orders.
The male boss wrote down the customer's request and returned to the kitchen, where he saw his wife already packing the food. He hurried to cook noodles and vermicelli.
Ge Dongfang also packed up the chicken mushroom oil, first filling a small bowl with 80% oil and 20% fried chicken mushroom shreds. This was five servings for tomorrow morning. Once it cooled, she would wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. The rest was then placed directly into 15 bowls. She caught a glimpse of her husband coming over and asked without looking up, "How many people want it?"
The male boss said, "Twelve people."
Ge Dongfang smiled and said, "That's perfect, we can both eat it."
The male boss was also looking forward to it: "It smells so good, it must be delicious!"
The next step is quite simple. Just blanch it for one or two minutes and then take it out directly. Two people worked together. The male boss scooped the noodles directly into the bowl and put a few slices of vegetables on it. It felt a bit shabby. After thinking about it for a while, he added some lean meat topping, which looked much more cost-effective.
It only took two or three minutes.
Ge Dongfang immediately put three bowls of noodles on a tray and went out: "The noodles with chicken mushroom oil are ready. Whose are these?"
The guest in front of him, who had already been dazzled by the fragrance, quickly raised his hand: "Mine, mine!"
The customer next to him hurriedly said, "I ordered noodles too!"
"Oh, mine is pink." The guest sitting in the front row said regretfully.
Ge Dongfang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will happen soon."
After delivering these three portions, she went back to the kitchen and brought out three more portions, this time of noodles. She asked, "Who wants the chicken mushroom noodles?"
"I!"
"I!"
"Boss, can I order another bowl of noodles?" someone asked from behind.
Ge Dongfang turned around and was about to answer when she saw that there was a bowl of noodles in front of the man. The point was not this, but that the bowl of noodles was empty. The customer asked with greasy stains at the corners of his mouth, still wanting to know more.
Ge Dongfang: "...Have you finished eating?"
The customer slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Yes, it was so delicious, I couldn't resist and finished it in three bites!"
He had eaten noodles countless times before; they were just ordinary alkaline noodles with ordinary lean meat and vegetables, and the taste was average. However, the chicken mushroom oil wrapped around the noodles was so delicious that once he took a bite, he just felt—OMG! He couldn't stop eating!
He had a big appetite and ate quickly. He stirred the noodles twice to lower the temperature a little, and then ate them in just a few mouthfuls.
Finally, dip the vegetables and meat in the bowl, and it tastes even better.
The corners of Ge Dongfang's mouth twitched, and when she looked at the other customers who had just received their food, she suddenly felt that the three remaining portions she had thought of might be gone soon.
As this customer placed his order, the others seemed to be reminded and said, "Yeah, I feel like it's not enough either. Boss, another serving of noodles!"
The first girl who came over and waited quickly said, "I want another bowl of noodles!"
The third person who got the noodles saw this and didn't care about the noodles in his mouth that had not been swallowed yet, and said urgently: "I want noodles too!"
The two customers who had just been drawn to the shop by the aroma immediately said, "Boss, I want their noodles too!"
"Boss, I also want—"
Ge Dongfang was suddenly overwhelmed and said weakly, "...There are only three left."
That person: “!”
Seeing his shock, Ge Dongfang said helplessly, "Really? I made my own chicken mushroom oil, and I haven't tasted a single bite!"
The guests immediately burst into laughter, and some enthusiastic guests took the initiative to say, "Boss, if there is a sufficient quantity of this new product, I guarantee that your business will be overwhelmed!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Ge Dongfang was so happy with what she said that she didn't feel bad that she didn't get to eat it. She talked to the guests in a nice tone. Although those who had eaten it were reluctant, they still left the last three portions for the new guests so that everyone could taste the good stuff together.
I have to say, this chicken mushroom oil is really fragrant. Just when I was thinking of leaving some for myself, a few new customers came.
It's not enough at all.
LOL, what's left?!
By the time all fifteen bowls were delivered, Ge Dongfang was determined that there was no more chicken mushroom oil left.
The customer, still not satisfied, left reluctantly, saying, "Boss, please give us more tomorrow! This chicken mushroom oil is so delicious!"
Ge Dongfang agreed immediately. In just a few moments, the two hundred yuan she'd spent on the torched chicken mushrooms had turned into five hundred and fifty yuan after adding some noodles, some vegetables, and a little lean meat topping, a net profit of over three hundred yuan! There was even enough in the kitchen refrigerator for five servings, so she could make another fifty yuan from selling them.
This profit is so terrifying.
The key is not to worry about selling!
As soon as the fragrance comes out, customers will come by smelling it!
After Ge Dongfang saw off the last guest, she saw that it was almost time, so she closed the shutter door and returned to the kitchen. She saw her husband staring at the pot where he had fried the chicken mushroom oil. When he saw her come back, he immediately said, "Wife, can I use the leftover chicken mushroom oil in this pot to mix some noodles?"
Ge Dongfang: "..."
Why does it sound so sad?!
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she simply said, "Don't be so stingy. Forget it. Let's split the rest and make some rice!"
The male boss's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately: "Okay, I'll go buy food!"
There is a fast food restaurant here. Everyone is familiar with each other and you can buy two meals directly.
Ge Dongfang nodded, and while waiting, she picked up the remaining mushrooms. She planned to use them as toppings, so she picked them up in advance and came early tomorrow to make them. She had just processed them briefly and picked up some of them. She planned to chop them into small pieces and add them to the fried rice later. Then her husband came back with two full boxes of rice.
The two of them cooperated skillfully. They first added some chicken mushroom oil and the little oil left in the pot, then poured the chopped mushrooms in and stir-fried them. The kitchen, which was already fragrant, seemed to have been poured with a large bottle of mushroom-scented perfume. After the mushrooms were fried soft, they added rice. The loose rice was naturally stained with light golden chicken mushroom oil. Adding a chopstick of chicken mushroom in the middle, the fragrance was enhanced again.
Ge Dongfang and her husband were so attracted by the delicious taste that they swallowed their saliva.
Ge Dongfang hesitated for a moment: "Isn't there enough oil? The rice is a little dry."
The male boss nodded decisively: "Yes! It's a little short. Mainly because Boss Zhang was too polite and stuffed me full. So, how about we add some chicken mushroom oil?"
Ge Dongfang didn't say anything else and silently added two more spoonfuls.
Add other seasonings at the end.
When the fried rice with chicken mushroom oil was served, the two of them ignored everything else and each took a bowl and couldn't wait to eat it.
The first bite is——
fragrant!
The rice is covered with the essence of chicken mushroom oil, mixed with chopped mushrooms, with a hint of saltiness and pepper, as well as the onion fragrance brought by the chopped green onions sprinkled before being served. Everything seems to be just right, fragrant but not greasy, and extremely delicious. It is obviously ordinary white rice, but it has been transformed into an excellent delicacy!
There was no time to talk. The couple looked at each other and immediately focused on the fried rice in front of them, gobbling it up.
Delicious, delicious!
I just want to eat one more bite!
"Oh!" Ge Dongfang suddenly stomped her feet in regret.
The male boss was shocked and thought his wife regretted her decision, so he was about to say a few words of comfort to her.
I heard my wife stuff her mouth with rice and said with great regret: "I was confused by the aroma just now and forgot to put the egg in. I can't help but think how delicious this egg fried rice would be if there was an egg! "
The male boss glanced at the bowl of chicken mushroom oil, which still had a little bit of oil left, and suggested expectantly, "How about I go buy another bowl of rice and try scrambling it with eggs?"
Ge Dongfang said quietly, "But there's only so much chicken mushroom oil left..."
The male boss understood and continued, "There's only a few left anyway. Selling them out might make people look bad. We still have other mushrooms, and we can use them as toppings later."
"Okay!" Ge Dongfang smiled and ran out to buy a meal. The male boss also lit the fire again and beat three eggs with one hand. He would definitely feel very happy when he took a bite of them!
I must buy more chicken mushrooms tomorrow!
She thought.
——
At the stall in the back, Jiang Heng spent the whole time smelling the scent of the chicken mushroom oil.
Song Ming couldn't help smelling it. She originally wondered if someone was stealing Jiang Heng's business, but it turned out to be her own. Before she could even feel sad, she was tempted by the fragrance and ran over to ask if she could buy some. But it was too late. There were only a few of them and they were sold out long ago. She could only go back dejectedly and continue to set up her stall.
Fortunately, the torture ended at 7:30, and the two of them sold out and closed their stall one after another.
Jiang Heng is still one step ahead.
Only two grass carps weighing three pounds were left unsold.
She simply took it home and kept it, so that she could eat it for several days.
When I get home, the first thing I do is naturally calculate today's earnings.
As early as when he heard the broadcast, Jiang Heng felt that the benefits would be huge.
When she calculated carefully, she found that the profit was once again far beyond her expectations.
All accounts add up to 7,165 yuan!
Among them, there are more than 1,500 mulberries, more than 2,000 fish, and more than 3,000 mushrooms, which add up to more than 7,000!
There is also the 560 yuan that Song Ming spent on the inferior mushrooms, which adds up to 7,725 yuan.
At this rate of making money, if she continues to sell like this every day, she can pay off the remaining debt in a week. In another two days, she can rest for a while!
It’s a pity that I’ll be busy the day after tomorrow.
I’m afraid I won’t have much time to sell mushrooms in the future.
If only someone could sell it for her.
Jiang Heng thought about it briefly, but didn't know who to choose. She was quite familiar with the people in the village, but it was all based on the relationship with her parents. Moreover, the villagers were all middle-aged and elderly, so it was a bit difficult to deal with them.
Never mind, it’s just a few days of lost profits!
Jiang Heng quickly gave up and cleared his mind to rest.
*
The next day we went mushroom picking as usual.
As a result, when I went there today, I found that there was a small hill of chicken mushrooms in the area where she often walked!
They were all uprooted and covered in mud. Of course, they were definitely not in as good a condition as those she had brought herself, but for wild animals, they were already very good.
Jiang Heng moved a little closer, and immediately a nimble figure appeared. It was the yellow-throated marten!
Looking closely at the pattern, it was the one she rescued yesterday.
Seeing her coming, the yellow-throated marten was very happy. It immediately started to squeak and jumped around the pile of chicken mushrooms in high spirits.
Jiang Heng was shocked: "Could it be that you pulled all these out?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" The yellow-throated marten called out twice again. It was unclear whether it was responding or simply reminding her.
Jiang Heng tried to walk over, and the yellow-throated marten instinctively retreated. It was still afraid of large animals like humans. But after taking two steps back, it stopped again, blinking its pair of black eyes at her, a little nervous but not aggressive.
Jiang Heng didn't want to get close to it. It's better not to get too close to wild animals, otherwise they will think that humans are all good, and then they will get close to other humans at will, and then they will be doomed.
Her eyes were gentle and her breath was soft. Then, under the burning gaze of the yellow-throated marten, she began to grab the chicken mushrooms and put them into the bag.
Yellow-throated marten: "Squeak!"
A slightly high-pitched and sharp voice revealed a hint of pleasure.
As if to say: She accepted the gift!
Jiang Heng's eyes curved as he continued to collect the chicken mushrooms.
As she moved, the yellow-throated marten became happier and happier, so happy that it rolled on the ground, revealing the soft hair on its belly from time to time. It was obviously not as defensive as before, and its eyes occasionally became particularly bright when it looked at her.
Jiang Heng paused.
Oh no, I almost want to rub it!
She has always wanted to have two dogs. Besides being a guard dog, she also thinks dogs are very enthusiastic. She never thought that a wild animal could be so enthusiastic!
Jiang Heng forced himself to regain his focus and continued to pack the mushrooms. Halfway through, he discovered that there was something else in the pile of mushrooms.
Eh???
The presence of loquats was fine, as they grew in this season, and it was normal for loquat trees to grow in the forest. She remembered that yellow-throated martens occasionally ate some vegetables, but the question was how could there be chestnuts, walnuts, peanuts, and pine nuts?
There are even dried strawberries, corn kernels, and soybeans.
There isn't much of anything, but there are many varieties.
Jiang Heng looked at it in confusion.
The yellow-throated marten noticed her gaze and quickly sat up from its rolling position, tilted its cute little head, and blinked its small eyes as if looking back.
Jiang Heng pointed at the pile of mushrooms and other things and asked, "Did you dig out the squirrel's nest?"
The yellow-throated marten looked at the things in the direction of her finger, licked its nose guiltily, and called out to her twice without saying anything.
Jiang Heng looked around and found no trace of the owner, so he simply continued pretending.
I've brought them all.
I also heard that squirrels store a lot of food in different tree holes. They probably don’t even know that their food is lost. Besides, it’s just a little bit, so it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
She took another look at the culprit, the yellow-throated marten.
The little guy seemed to feel something was wrong and quietly moved a little further away, but he was still in a very happy mood. He would occasionally play with his tail, but spent most of his time observing her.
Until the last chicken mushroom is put into the bag.
Jiang Heng picked up the remaining strawberry... forget it, it was too heavy, so he changed to soybeans, but they were too hard. Finally, he chose a corn kernel and threw it at the yellow-throated marten.
The aim was very good, hitting it directly on the forehead.
When the little guy was attacked, his fur stood on end and he jumped up, looking around vigilantly.
Not finding anyone to attack me, I relaxed a little, but not as relaxed as before.
This series of movements showed its super-flexible limbs, its cute head, and the cuddly fur all over its body. Jiang Heng almost burst out laughing, but she managed to hold it back and threw another kernel of corn.
This time the yellow-throated marten saw it clearly, and stared at him blankly with its eyes wide open in disbelief.
Jiang Heng was stared at by it and attacked again, and corn kernels fell on its legs.
It didn't hurt, but the opponent's aggression was obvious.
"squeak!"
The yellow-throated marten cried out a little angrily.
Jiang Heng said nothing and lost again.
The yellow-throated marten dodged and moved a little further away from her.
Jiang Heng continued.
She kept beating the yellow-throated marten until it was twenty meters away from her before stopping.
The little fellow stood there, looking straight at her, with a hint of disbelief on his furry face.
Jiang Heng turned her face away with a guilty look on her face and left with the other party's thank-you gift. The yellow-throated marten was not an animal that was close to humans and was difficult to tame, so its number was decreasing. She didn't want these little animals to feel that humans were trustworthy because of her, so this was the only way.
She walked without hesitation, and could faintly feel the gaze of the yellow-throated marten behind her.
So Jiang Heng walked faster.
Otherwise she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted.
This little guy is really cute!
——
After a morning of mushroom and mulberry harvesting, Jiang Heng also completed his "daily tasks" for the day.
The next step is to deal with the follow-up.
The ones given by the yellow-throated marten weighed about three pounds, and almost all the chicken mushrooms in this area were picked. At least today, Jiang Heng walked around the area covered by Lingyu, but only found about one pound.
But these three pounds cannot be sold.
There are some tooth marks and claw marks on it.
Therefore, Jiang Heng simply used a dust removal trick to clean up the three pounds of chicken mushrooms and put them aside. He also boiled some chicken mushroom oil so that he could eat some chicken mushroom oil fried rice in the morning.
For the rest, simply use a soft brush to remove the dirt and dust, and then classify them into different boxes.
While she was busy, she heard footsteps approaching, accompanied by whimpering sounds. She was still wondering what could make such a soft sound. After a while, Chen Aying appeared in front of her with the real person.
Two half-grown chubby brown puppies!
Two chubby puppies and two freshly baked glutinous rice balls were put directly in a basket, with only their heads sticking out from the edge of the basket. When they moved a little, they were pushed back by my aunt's hand. Then the glutinous rice balls made two unhappy "humphs..." sounds and then fell on the other dog.
The puppy that was pressed down was also brought down into the basket. It immediately whimpered and tried to get up with its belly sticking out.
Just mentioning dogs, are puppies already delivered to your door?!
Mom!
Taking back what I said before, this kind of little cub is still more adorable!
Seeing Jiang Heng's eyes light up, Chen Aying smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to get two dogs? I told your sister, and she happened to see someone selling puppies at the market this morning, and these were the only two left. She said she called you but you didn't answer, so she bought them first. I brought them back on my way to deliver fried fish and mushroom sauce, and figured if you didn't want them, I'd keep them."
Jiang Heng had already stood up and took the two dogs.
They were really at the peak of their looks. The fur color of the two little dogs was very ordinary, but they looked really cute. The family that sold them must have taken good care of the big dogs. Jiang Heng felt the softness as soon as she held them in her hands. She immediately became more careful, fearing that if she used too much force, she would break the soft little creatures.
The two puppies were probably in contact with a strange creature again. They were so scared that they scratched their limbs and claws, struggling to get away, but they couldn't move. So their cries changed from soft whimpers to: "Awoo! Wuuwuwu~Ao~~~"
Especially the area around its mouth and face is black, and its tongue is pink. When it tilts its little black face up and howls, it is really too cute!
Jiang Heng couldn't help but laugh: "Yes! I want both! Two are perfect for company. Aunt, if you want to get a dog, buy two more."
She held both dogs in one hand and took out her phone with the other to check messages.
Sure enough, she saw two phone calls, but the phones were silent, she was walking quite far away, and the signal was not good, so she didn't notice it at all. She quickly thanked Jiang Peng.
Chen Aying waved her hands repeatedly: "Forget it, I was just worried that you wouldn't like this dog. After all, it's a living thing."
Jiang Heng held the ball in his arms and felt a little worried: "I haven't built a doghouse for them yet."
I was chatting with my aunt before and told her that I wanted to get a dog. I asked her to help me see which family in the village had a big dog that gave birth to puppies so that I could decide on one first. I didn’t expect that I would get two dogs so soon!
Chen Aying also said, "Yes, such a small dog shouldn't sleep directly on the ground. Do you have a cardboard box at home? Put two pieces of discarded clothes in it and let it sleep on it for two days."
Jiang Heng shook his head silently: "No."
She is a person who likes to declutter. Except for unnecessary things and some souvenirs, she basically cleans out all these things. She threw away all the old clothes a few days after she came back.
Chen Aying simply hurried back, took out a paper box and one of Jiang Peng's old cotton-padded jackets, and complained as she spread them out inside, "Your sister just likes to buy clothes and not wear them. When she first started working, she bought a lot of clothes, but ended up only wearing two pieces every day. The rest got ruined. I wonder if she's gotten any better in the past few years."
Jiang Heng listened with a smile, squatting there and holding down the two puppies who kept trying to run away.
Tilt the paper box so that the puppy can go in and out freely, fold the cotton-padded jacket and put it in, and finally put the puppy in. Close the opening of the paper box first to let them get familiar with this place and know to go back to sleep at night.
Jiang Heng listened to Chen Aying's mumbling and asked curiously, "Auntie, have you ever had a dog before?"
Chen Aying paused and said with some resentment, "Yes, I have two, both big black dogs. One was raised before I got married. It followed my father and ate a lot of greasy food. The other one was raised right after I got married. It's a big black girl. She's very smart. She can shake hands, help chase away birds, and can..."
She counted a lot of dots in one breath. Even after so many years, she could still remember them like the back of her hand.
But then he changed the subject and started cursing again: "Dog dealers deserve a bad death! If you really want to sell dogs, just raise them yourself. But you just like to steal dogs. Dahei and her daughter were both stolen!"
Jiang Heng's expression also changed. This was too infuriating!
Chen Aying still gets upset when she thinks about it now: "You should be careful when raising dogs. It's better here. I heard there are a lot of dog dealers in the city. If you're not careful, your dog might be kidnapped and taken to a dog meat shop."
Jiang Heng nodded frantically: "Yeah!"
Later, she made a puppy tag and hung it up, regularly keeping a little spiritual energy on it so that she could sense when the dog was in danger or being kidnapped.
After chatting for a while, Chen Aying saw that she was still busy with mushrooms. She wanted to help, but there was only one soft brush, so she had to give up and simply went back to cook. After breakfast, she could go play cards.
——
Before twelve o'clock, Jiang Heng had processed all the mushrooms.
Today's quantity is about the same as usual. There are very few chicken mushrooms with or without umbrellas. She originally planned to sell them, but there were so few that it looked a bit shabby, so she simply took them back and put them together with the three pounds of chicken mushrooms, and made chicken mushroom oil with them later.
Then he took out his cell phone, took a photo of Song Ming and sent her a message, asking her how many times she needed to taste mushrooms today.
There was no immediate reply after the message was sent, but Jiang Heng was not in a hurry and went to the kitchen to cook.
We had fish hotpot for lunch today.
There are a few fish in the basin in the backyard. In the past two days, they have been eating the spiritual leaves of the vegetables she induced to breed and drinking spiritual water. They are still lively and it seems that they can still be kept for a long time, so Jiang Heng left them to eat slowly.
It was getting late, so I didn't do too much. I plugged in the rice cooker, simply added some wolfberries, salt, some fresh mushrooms torn into strips, a little pepper, and water, and put it to cook.
Then she went to the backyard and picked the fattest grass carp, killed it quickly, and was about to throw away the internal organs because she didn't like to eat them. But then she thought about her dog, and the fish was in good shape now that she had raised it, better than the batch she sold yesterday, so she decided to keep it.
Then remove the scales and hang off the black layer inside. After processing, chop off the entire fish head into two halves, wash it clean, and make it into chopped pepper fish head.
The fish head is also the essence. The meat is firm and tender, without any bones, and it is very delicious.
The fish head was steamed in the pot, and Jiang Heng continued to be busy. One fish head was not enough to fill her up, so she sliced the fish body.
She was good at archery, but she had also practiced with swords when she had nothing to do. Now she was very adept at slicing fish. She sliced off slices of evenly thin fish meat, each with a small amount of fish skin. She stacked them neatly on the plate layer by layer, and finally only a skeleton and a little meat on the belly of the fish were left.
Marinate the fish simply, and in a short while, the fish head will be ready and you can serve it on the table and start eating.
Jiang Heng picked up the large plate of chopped pepper fish head and was about to leave when he noticed two small dumplings on the legs of the dining table.
These two puppies look very similar, but there is a significant difference. The hair on the belly of one is white, like a white bib, while the hair on the belly of the other is just lighter in color, and the tip of the tail and the tip of the ears are a little darker.
Jiang Heng came up with a name easily.
A pudding and a caramel.
They are all female dogs. I heard that they are the leftovers because male dogs are easier to sell.
At this moment, the caramel puddings were all clinging to the table legs, whimpering and trying to get up, but unable to do so, howling in greed.
Jiang Heng laughed at what he saw. He put down the chopped pepper fish head and went to the kitchen to deal with the internal organs.
After the internal organs are cooked, chop them up and mix them with a little rice. The dog is two months old and has teeth, so it can eat. She doesn't plan to buy dog food. How can dog food be as good as what she eats herself?
It was a little hot when it was cooked, so Jiang Heng didn't serve it to them. She could only sit back at the dining table and start eating the fish hotpot.
The soup base itself is a homemade delicious mushroom soup. If you drink it directly, it is a very fresh mushroom soup. Put the fish fillets in and stir it with a spoon. The originally soft and tender fish meat will immediately shrink and curl up, and the color will turn white. The aroma of the fish meat also adds a touch of fragrance to this simple mushroom soup.
Now the two who were already extremely greedy began to scratch the table legs even more eagerly.
The claws, which had no killing power, scratched shallow white marks on the red painted table legs.
Jiang Heng couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I cooked the two pieces of meat in the fish's belly, rinsed them with cold water, removed the big bones, and put them on the ground for them to taste first.
As soon as the food was put down, the caramel pudding immediately jumped over with a bouncy texture.
Awooo, a big mouthful of tender fish meat.
The puppy's throat kept making humming sounds with satisfaction.
Jiang Heng also started eating.
The fish meat in the chopped pepper fish head is soft, tender, salty and fragrant, and has the spicy flavor of chopped pepper, which is very satisfying to eat. The fish meat in the mushroom soup pot has a light taste and melts in the mouth. The freshness is even more unsatisfactory.
Delicious, delicious!
It has to be the fish you raise yourself!
Huh?!
Raise your own fish?
Jiang Heng's heart moved slightly.
Although she has wanted to raise a lot of things, none of them have been realized so far.
But she still couldn't help wanting to raise fish.
How about contracting a fish pond?
There just happened to be a pond near the top of the mountain. It wasn't small, but since it was close to the mountain, few people came here and no one took care of it. No one had been farming in recent years, so the pond was surrounded by lush vegetation and aquatic plants. Occasionally, when she passed by, she could see many wild ducks nesting there.
Only during the holidays when a group of people came back from the city, and there was nothing to do in the village, so they liked to go fishing. They made a lot of bait, so they raised a lot of big fish, and it was also quite close to her home.
Not bad, not bad!
I just wonder how much it would cost to lease a pond? We'd also have to build a fence around it to prevent children from playing there and falling in.
That's another amount of money...
After calculating that he only had a little over 10,000 yuan on hand, Jiang Heng said, "...Let's eat fish!"
