The days passed by in a dull manner, and Mu Yunxi also experienced the life of having a partner. She could sleep until she woke up naturally every day and no longer had to get up early to cook pig food and feed the pigs.
After getting up, there was breakfast prepared by Sheng Zhiyi warming in the stove. Life was simple but beautiful.
When Mu Yunxi was bored, she peeled the dried chestnuts and made them into snacks that could be stored for a long time.
She planned to make more and send some back to Mu's father, Mu's mother, and her brother who was in the army.
There are still so many small fish in the stream in the space that have not been processed. She wants to use some of them to make spicy dried fish, and then send some to her family. She also wants to prepare some for Sheng Zhiyi and ask him to send some to his family to try.
When Sheng Zhiyi learned that his partner wanted to make chestnuts into snacks and send them to his family, he actively expressed his willingness to help.
He thought this was a great opportunity to please his future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law. He absolutely couldn't miss it. He had to perform well. Maybe in the future, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would even have a better impression of him!
With Sheng Zhiyi's enthusiastic participation, Mu Yunxi made dozens of kilograms of chestnut snacks in just a few days.
She plans to keep all the remaining chestnuts and eat them slowly later because she really likes eating chestnuts.
When she has free time in the future, she can occasionally make chestnut chicken.
Occasionally make some chestnut cake, or grilled chestnuts, or sugar-fried chestnuts. Just thinking about it makes them sound delicious.
While everyone in the courtyard went to work, Mu Yunxi moved the two stoves and pots outside the house into her room and put them into the space.
Then she locked the doors and windows of the room, went straight into the space, and fished out two buckets of small fish from the stream, preparing to make them all into spicy dried fish.
The method of making dried fish is actually very simple, but it does require a little oil.
Marinate the cleaned small fish with salt powder, ginger slices and a little white wine to add flavor and remove the fishy smell.
Then heat the oil, add the onion and garlic, fry until fragrant, then remove the onion and garlic, and when the oil temperature is right, add the small fish, fry all the small fish until golden and crispy, then remove from the pan, drain the oil, and sprinkle some sesame seeds and chili powder on it. The spicy small fish is ready.
The spicy fish made in this way are crispy and delicious. You can feel its aroma and freshness in every bite. The appropriate degree of spiciness stimulates the taste buds, making people want to eat more and more, with endless aftertaste.
The two large buckets of live fish probably weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms, but after being fried in oil, only about twenty kilograms were left.
Seeing that it was still early, Mu Yunxi went to the stream and caught two buckets of small fish and continued frying them. The two pots fried very quickly and all the fish were fried in about an hour.
Looking at the dozens of kilograms of fried small fish in the space, Mu Yunxi felt a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Mu Yunxi cleaned up the oil in the pot and left the space.
He took the stove and pot out of the space, and took out twenty pounds of fried spicy fish and placed them on the table in the room.
Then Mu Yunxi started steaming white rice in the room.
At noon, I had white rice with spicy fish and some stir-fried vegetables, which was quite a feast.
When Sheng Zhiyi came back, Mu Yunxi was just frying the last vegetable.
Looking at the pile of fried fish in the room, Sheng Zhiyi was shocked. Even though he was not calm at the moment, he reacted very quickly and closed the door.
After a long while, he finally asked tentatively, "Xixi, did you catch all these little fish in the river?"
There was a hint of suspicion and disbelief in his eyes. He knew that the fish in the nearby river were very agile and it was difficult for experienced people in the village to catch them.
What's more, there are so many small fish, so the difficulty is extremely great.
Fortunately, Mu Yunxi was well prepared. She knew that someone would question her for catching so many fish without any reason. In order to avoid being exposed, she took out a worn fishing net from the space and placed it in the room.
"Well, last time I wrote a letter, my dad got me a fishing net. Today, I was bored, so I went to the river to try it out. I didn't expect to catch so many small fish."
"But you can't tell anyone. After all, this is the collective property of the brigade. I caught so many small fish this time. If others knew about it, they would definitely have opinions."
Sheng Zhiyi certainly knew the importance of this matter. How could he possibly push his partner into such a storm? "Xixi, don't go fishing in the river alone in the future. If you want to eat fish, tell me and I'll go catch them in the river."
Sheng Zhiyi is now a little scared. He didn't expect Xixi to go to the river alone to fish. The water level of this river is not shallow and the current is fast. What if something unexpected happens?
Moreover, she caught so many fish this time. If someone saw it, she would definitely be reported.
