Chen Chunhua walked back home, a journey of two or three hours before reaching Sihe Village. Fortunately, before she left, Zhong Hui remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch and gave her a sweet potato and a multi-grain steamed bun.
It was a bit tiring, but at least I had some strength to go back.
In his heart, he cursed Jin Fengxian for being so troublesome, as well as Chen Laicai and Qian Laier. He must have owed them a lot of money in his previous life, which was why he was reborn into their family in this life. He was tortured when he was a child, and he still has to be bothered by them when he grows up.
But luckily, nothing serious happened today. I ate a lot of melon and got back safely. It's still early now, so it's impossible to go to work. I've already taken leave and am just taking a rest.
When she returned home, Lin Shugan and Lin Shuchao were squatting on the ground, wiping their tears.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Mom, wuwuwu... the glutton is dead..." Lin Shugan originally said that he was holding back his tears, but when he saw Chen Chunhua coming back, the emotions that he had been holding back for a long time suddenly burst out.
Then, the little chick, which was originally lying upright, seemed to be startled, raised its head, and then stood up.
Chen Chunhua: ...
Lin Shugan & Lin Shuchao: ...
"Don't cry too early next time, it just fell asleep."
"oh."
Liang Shengdi went out again today. Although she was told not to go out to sell vegetables for the next two days, she seemed to have gotten used to going out for a walk. Even if she didn't sell them, she could still eat what she brought back at home.
What she brought back today was a black carp weighing ten kilograms. If she hadn't tied it with a piece of thick straw and hung it on her hand, she would have been unable to bring it back because it was too lively.
The fish had been dehydrated all the way and was thrown on the ground, but it kept jumping around, scaring the chicks away.
Chen Chunhua took a kitchen knife and hit the fish's head several times before it completely stopped eating and quieted down.
Liang Shengdi squatted beside her, her eyes sparkling. "Chunhua, how are we going to eat this fish today?"
"As for black fish, how about making pickled fish?" Chen Chunhua thought for a moment and decided on today's menu.
"Sour fish?" Liang Shengdi had never eaten it, but for some reason, she wanted to drool just by hearing it.
"Mm, pickled fish. We still have pickled winter mustard greens, right? Fry one end with the fish fillets, add the broth, and then pour a layer of hot oil over it. It's so fragrant and delicious."
Pickled fish isn't a southern dish. Chen Chunhua only learned to make it after she was in her fifties or sixties, when her grandchildren asked for it. Otherwise, she would probably be like Liang Shengdi now, having never tried it and having no idea what it was.
"Mom, I'm going to fillet the fish. Can you help me water the mushroom house?"
"Okay, okay, do you want to feed the chickens? Do you want to water the pumpkin vines in the vegetable patch out back? Do you want to put away the clothes?"
Liang Shengdi stood up and actively read out all the work she could think of. Her daughter-in-law had made new things for her to eat, so what was wrong with her doing some work? It shouldn't be like that!
Chen Chunhua looked at her with a smile, and said while scraping the fish scales,
"Let the second and third brothers take care of the chickens. Feel the clothes to see if they are dry. If not, let them hang for a while longer and collect them after the sun goes down."
Liang Shengdi has really changed a lot in the past few months. Her work ethic is so impressive that even the whole family, young and old, combined couldn't match her. It turns out that if you want an ox to pull a plow, you have to feed it grass.
Of course, she didn't say Liang Shengdi was a cow (*^▽^*)
I suddenly thought of Zhong Hui. Compared to that brother-in-law, her life is getting more and more hopeful. As for Zhong Hui, to be frank, I'm afraid that those two old people will be able to rest in peace tomorrow.
Chen Chunhua sighed. Sometimes it is difficult to judge a person's fate.
The precious jewel in the palm of the hand fell into the ground and became a piece of mud that needed to learn to stand with hands on hips and curse. But she, who was once a stone underfoot, had unexpectedly lived a relatively good life.
Even though she had not figured out how to make Liang Shengdi work in her previous life, causing her to be lazy all her life, Chen Chunhua had never thought of divorcing Lin Guoqing.
For her, this life was already very good. Apart from Lin Shuying's accidental death, she actually had no major regrets.
In this life, they made a little money in the past two months, which made them feel a little proud. They wanted to build a house and buy a tricycle. Last night, Lin Guoqing told her that since they had two sons, they would need to ask the village for two pieces of land.
Otherwise, after both brothers have married and are still living under the same roof, no matter how good their relationship is now, there will definitely be friction over time.
Lin Guoqing had this realization after hearing that two brothers in the neighboring village had started fighting over some trivial matter. However, Chen Chunhua was speechless. Wasn't this man considering this too early?
How old are Lin Shugan and Lin Shuchao? Even if they want to get married, it will be at least fourteen or fifteen years from now. Why are you worrying so much now?
But after returning from her mother's house today, she no longer thought so. She felt that Lin Guoqing was right and that such things should be prepared early.
In fact, in the end of their previous life, it was because Lin Shu urged them to go to town and buy a house early that no major incidents arose. Otherwise...
Chen Chunhua shook her head. She was reborn. Why should she think about the trivial matters of the past? Now they had only one mission: to make money, make money like crazy!
She chopped the whole big black fish into fillets, which were not too thick but not too thin, and even a bit big. Nowadays, no one can eat it, but I don’t pursue the taste that disappears as soon as I put it in my mouth.
If the slices were too thin or too small, Liang Shengdi would be the first to cry in front of her.
There was no more fish to slice, so she didn't throw away the head, tail, or bones. She cut them all into sections and put them together, marinated them with salt and shredded ginger, and even extravagantly beat two egg whites into them, saving the yolks for her and Lin Guoqing later.
I lifted a stone from the jar, and the sour smell instantly hit my nose. I took out a handful of very well-pickled winter mustard greens, squeezed out the water, and cut them into thin strips.
Then heat the pot red, scoop a large amount of lard into it and heat it up, then throw in the shredded ginger and minced garlic that you just chopped, stir-fry until fragrant, then throw in the shredded sauerkraut and stir-fry together, then add water.
After the water boils, pick out the fish head, tail, and bones that you just marinated and put them into the pot and boil over high heat. When it is cooked, there will be foam. Skim off the foam and add salt. When the soup is cooked, finally shake out the fish fillets and put them into the pot.
The fish slices are thin and the fish meat is tender, and it can be served in less than two minutes.
In fact, you should heat up another pot of oil at the end, then put chili peppers, peppercorns, coriander, chopped green onions, garlic cloves and other spices on the fish, and pour hot oil on it. Only then is the dish complete.
But now... no one at home eats spicy food, and there aren't that many seasonings, so she just sprinkled some peppercorns on it and used a little hot oil to bring out its aroma, and that was about it.
Chen Chunhua believed that no one would dislike this plate of greasy pickled fish.
