Chapter 78: Being Lazy in Public
Dong Yulan ate a big piece of watermelon and felt relaxed all over.
Sit on a small stool and start cleaning the internal organs of small fish.
Gu Qiqi finished eating a small piece of watermelon and threw the rind towards the chicken coop.
The five chickens rushed over and quickly pecked the melon rind clean.
She sprinkled some spiritual spring water into the broken jar, and the crucian carps of all sizes in it happily slapped the water with their tails.
Then he sat back on the small stool obediently, and used his chubby little hands to help his grandma pick out the small river shrimps and put them into the basket beside him.
About half an hour after they got home, Su Qingshan returned with Gu Jinchen and the other two.
Crayfish were so easy to catch that several people’s small backpacks were filled with lobsters. There was no more space, so they had to go home.
Seeing Qibao sitting on the small wooden stool and helping his grandma with work obediently, Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan felt heartbroken.
Gu Jinchen: "Sister, you can have fun. Jinan and I can handle these tasks!"
Gu Jinan: "Yes, these small fish and shrimps have a strong fishy smell, don't get your hands dirty!"
Su Qingshan placed two full baskets of crayfish on the ground.
He also helped Xiao Mo take off the basket containing crayfish from his back.
"Boy Mo is really good. He may be small in stature, but he's very strong!" Su Qingshan looked pleased.
This basket of crayfish weighs at least twenty kilograms.
The kid carried him all the way back without even taking a breath, and his steps were relaxed and casual, as if he didn't care at all.
Because of this, Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan admired Xiao Mo even more.
"Not bad!" Xiao Mo responded, then walked up to Qibao.
"Want to wash your hands? I'll help you!"
Xiao Mo's wet clothes had been dried by the sun.
Gu Qiqi nodded: "Yes!"
Now that her cheap brother is back and she has someone to help her, she can be lazy without any hesitation...
"There is soap on the washstand. Use it to clean my dear girl's hands!" said Dong Yulan.
Xiao Mo walked to the washstand under the eaves, picked up the soap, and took Qibao to the basin outside the kitchen, where he squatted and carefully washed her hands.
Compared to Gu Qiqi's chubby, white and tender hands, Xiao Mo's hands looked bony and had long fingers...
After washing, the little hands smelled fragrant and there was no fishy smell just now. Gu Qiqi was very satisfied.
Xiao Mo looked at the crucian carp in the broken tank and didn't seem surprised at all.
He squatted calmly beside Gu Jinan and helped pick the small river shrimps into the basket.
"Grandma Dong will fry these small fish and shrimps for you to eat later!" Dong Yulan said kindly.
Since my son-in-law came here, life has been getting better and better.
At first, we could only eat some vegetables in the middle of winter, but now we can’t even finish all the vegetables in the vegetable garden. Now, we can just stay by the river for a while and there will be fish to eat.
And you can eat it however you want, even frying it without blinking an eye.
Life at home is good and the children are in good spirits.
Just after the Chinese New Year, the boys in Jinze have grown taller and are now taller than they were during the Chinese New Year.
Life at home is happy and we have no worries about food and drink.
Dong Yulan was also in a good mood.
Now I just hope my son Su Mingyuan can get married soon.
"Thank you, Grandma Dong. Everything Grandma Dong cooks is delicious!" Xiao Mo complimented politely.
In one sentence, Dong Yulan was amused to death.
She is indeed a good cook, but the vegetables grown in her son-in-law’s yard are even more delicious. Plus, there is always enough oil to use, so how can the dishes not be delicious?
When it comes to the good life of the son-in-law's family, it is inseparable from the good daughter!
Without the good girl throwing things out from time to time, they would not be living as comfortably as they do now...
She felt that all this was due to the blessing of her good daughter.
After cleaning up the small fish and shrimps, Su Qingshan took a group of boys to sort out the crayfish.
"These lobsters weigh several dozen kilograms. Invite Xiao Tuan and his wife to come over for lunch at noon. We don't even have to cook. It'll be good enough if we finish eating these lobsters!" Su Qingshan said as he looked at the baskets of crayfish.
"Okay, then call Xiao Tuan and the others."
"The lobster meat is firm. Pick out the big ones and steam them. Break off the heads of the small ones and save the shrimp butts for stir-frying!" Dong Yulan gave the instructions.
Some crayfish look quite old and are unusually large.
Su Qingshan brought a few boys to pick and choose.
All the large lobsters were picked out, and for the rest, they followed Su Qingshan's example, breaking off their heads and pulling out the shrimp threads from their butts.
There were three baskets of crayfish. I picked up one basket of the big ones, and the rest were lobsters with their heads removed, so there was a whole basin of them with their tails.
Then there was more washing and scrubbing.
The lobsters in the ditch were relatively clean, so it didn’t take much effort to clean them.
While Su Qingshan and Jinchen were processing crayfish in the yard, Dong Yulan was already busy in the kitchen.
She first cleaned the large iron pan, sprinkled some oil on it after drying it, and then put some small fish and river shrimps into the pan and fried them separately.
There are too many crayfish today, and the small fish and shrimps can’t even eat them all.
Put the fried fish and shrimps in a basket and ask Qibao to help hide them so that it is convenient to take them out when you want to eat them.
Since my good girl can keep the fish and shrimps fresh from the pot, I will ask my husband to bring back some more small fish and shrimps next time and let Qibao keep them after frying them. In the winter when there is no vegetable to eat, small fish and shrimps are a rare delicacy.
After most of the small fish and shrimps were hidden by Qibao, Dong Yulan poured the remaining small fish and shrimps into a clay basin, beat an egg, sprinkled salt on them, added an appropriate amount of white flour, stirred evenly, and waited for frying.
Gu Qiqi smelled the aroma of oil and ran into the kitchen to watch.
"It's hot in the kitchen, dear girl, go out and play for a while!" Seeing Qibao coming in, Dong Yulan hurriedly sent him away.
"When you fry the small fish and shrimp, the oil will splash out and burn your face. That's not good!"
"Not afraid of the heat!" Gu Qiqi shook her head.
Dong Yulan had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.
The small fish and shrimps coated with egg and flour were put into the oil pan, and in an instant, there was a rustling sound...
The fish and shrimp in the pan gradually turned golden brown under high temperature frying...
The fragrance spread. Gu Jinan and several other boys who were sitting in the yard processing crayfish took two deep breaths. It smelled so good!
As the first pot of fried fish and shrimp came out of the pot, Gu Qiqi stood on tiptoe and reached out to take it impatiently.
"It's hot, wait a moment!" Dong Yulan patted her daughter's hand and reminded her.
After waiting for a while and making sure that her daughter's hands would not be burned, Dong Yulan broke off a fried fish for Qibao to satisfy his craving.
When you take a bite, it’s crispy, fragrant and delicious!
"Oh, sister, feed me, feed me!" Gu Jinan in the yard cried out greedily.
Want to eat!
Gu Qiqi took out some fish and shrimp with her other hand and fed them to her third brother.
Gu Jinan had just finished processing some crayfish without washing his hands. He borrowed his sister's hand and felt that the fried fish and shrimp were especially delicious. His proud and enjoyable look made Gu Jinchen and Xiao Mo envious!
"My dear, don't be partial. Grandpa wants to eat too!"
Before Gu Jinchen and Xiao Mo could speak, Su Qingshan took the lead.
