Chapter 510 Brother Mingcheng, there is something good
The black carp, a fish that eats live fish and shrimp, is not popular among fish pond owners, but is quite popular among diners.
In ancient times, the black carp was once a tribute to the royal family, which shows that its delicious flavor was quite popular.
When Xuan Mi Mei saw the black bass, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ming Cheng, did you go to the reservoir to catch fish again? This fish has tender meat and a fresh taste. It's delicious! It's a pity that it's so rare to come across it. I haven't eaten this kind of fish for several years."
Gao Shufang also came over to take a look. At this time, the black carp was already dead. Gao Mingcheng had already cut open its guts and cleaned it, and it was just waiting to be put into the pot.
Gao Shufang said immediately: "I have only eaten this kind of fish once or twice. Other fish are very smelly, but this kind of fish is not. In the past, there was not much oil or salt, and it was delicious even when boiled. Now if it is braised, it will definitely taste even better!"
"Brother, did you add salt to the fish?"
Gao Mingcheng said: "No, I brought it here after I killed it."
So Gao Shufang immediately added salt to marinate the fish. After the fish was marinated and then braised, it became more flavorful and the fish would not easily break during the frying process.
Gao Shufang was eager to make this dish. After Gao Mingcheng unloaded all the things on the truck bed, he kept the wild boar meat for his own consumption and took the rest to the store to sell.
Take two benches and a piece of wood, and you can set up a simple stall. Put out a scale, a knife and a bag, and you will have everything you need.
As for the price of wild boar meat, compared with that of domestic pigs, although it is not as fat as domestic pigs, for people in county towns with better living conditions, wild boar meat is more attractive to them than domestic pigs.
It was already noon and most people were cooking at home. After Gao Mingcheng put out the wild boar meat, no customers came to buy it for a while.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry. After all, it was a prey that he had no money to buy. If he could sell it, he would sell it. If he couldn't, he would keep it for himself.
There was a heavy rain last night and the temperature has dropped a lot today. Some pedestrians on the street have already put on thin cotton coats.
Luo Li still hasn't come to work. Gao Mingcheng has asked about it. Xuanyue said that Luo Li's illness has almost recovered, but her body is still a little weak and her spirits are not good, so it is difficult for her to go to work. So she decided to let Luo Li rest for two more days.
Luo Li's family is poor, and sometimes they even have no food to eat, so her health is not good. It was fine when she was not sick before, but now that she is pregnant and sick, her health has collapsed all of a sudden and she needs more time to rest and recover.
After Xuanyuemei came back, the store had enough staff, so there was no rush to call Luo Li to work.
"Aunt Hu, please stay here at the door. If someone comes to buy pork and eggs, you can sell them." Gao Mingcheng looked at Hu Yinchen and said.
"Okay, okay." Hu Yinchen nodded confidently. She was familiar with selling things!
Gao Mingcheng picked up a kitchen knife and cut four pieces of meat from the makeshift meat stall. Each piece weighed about two pounds. These were to be given as gifts.
Gao Guobing must have one, and Huang Dazhi, Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingwan each gave one.
Gao Mingcheng drove his tractor again to deliver meat.
When I get to Xiao Jinfeng's place, I'll talk to him about renting a car in advance, so I can drive the truck directly to the pharmaceutical trade fair.
Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely pay attention to your matter. I will reserve a car for you in advance. You can just come here and drive away when the time comes."
Both parties have been friends for a long time, so it's just a matter of words.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Jinfeng’s transportation company is developing well and he has bought a second-hand minibus.
Thanks to his relationship with the Transportation Bureau, Xiao Jinfeng got a route to the city. This minibus specifically runs this route, responsible for transporting passengers to and from the city.
As we are about to enter the 90s, all aspects of people's lives are beginning to become more convenient.
For example, plastic bags, which are called white garbage, began to appear in people's lives in large quantities in the mid-1980s, and the amount of discarded plastic garbage has also increased day by day.
In the early 1980s, plastic bags were not common in the county, let alone the village. People went shopping with baskets. If they bought tofu and jelly, they would put them in bowls or basins. If they bought meat, they would either tie it with straw or wrap it in paper. Even if they saw someone selling popcorn, they would put it in a basket or cloth bag.
At that time the sky was blue, the water was clear, and the people were simple and honest.
Gao Mingcheng ran to four places to deliver meat, and when he returned to the clothing store, he happened to smell the rich aroma of meat.
After the catalysis of time, the delicious meal has been prepared.
Gao Shufang lifted the lid of the pot, and a large amount of hot steam immediately came out of the big iron pot, and the aroma of meat filled the entire backyard.
She held the spatula and skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, then added some garlic and prepared to serve.
"Brother, you're back just in time. It's time to eat!"
"Well, I'm really hungry!" Gao Mingcheng touched his growling belly and remembered that he had only had a casual breakfast in the morning.
Later, I went into the mountains to hunt, carried wild boars down the mountain, and went into the water to take a bath and catch fish. I was really exhausted.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to deal with wild boars. This is the benefit of having employees!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the delicious food was on the table and everyone took their seats. After the food was served, several pairs of chopsticks reached for the same plate at the same time.
The plate contained braised pork, wild boar with skin on. The meat was so tender that even the bones were easy to chew. Gao Shufang was generous with the seasoning, so the braised pork was incredibly fragrant.
Gao Shufang also did not forget her nephew Xiao Xuxu, and specially took out the tenderest and best meat and stewed a meat pie soup for him.
This meat pie soup has tender meat and delicious soup, suitable for all ages.
Little Xuxu sat in the stroller, and Xuanyue fed him while he ate. Now, little Xuxu is almost eleven months old, and six baby teeth have grown in his upper and lower front teeth. He can eat this kind of chopped meat patties, but he needs to chew them for a while.
Gao Mingcheng was also eating piglet meat. I have to say, piglets are much more delicious than wild boars!
In addition to the pork, he also tried the braised pork belly. Gao Shufang's cooking skills were impeccable. Although she was not as talented as Manyue, the food she cooked was really good.
The meat of the black carp is very good, but unfortunately it has many bones. In addition to large bones, there are also many small bones. These bones are relatively soft and their distribution is quite irregular.
While spitting out the fish bones, Gao Mingcheng thought that he could buy some sea bass fry to raise next year.
However, the bass fry sold on the market now are not actually local, but imported from the United States. They are California bass, which were introduced into the country for breeding a few years ago. Now, the fry can be easily purchased.
As for the Songjiang perch, which is native to my country, it almost became extinct in the 1980s.
You know, Songjiang perch was once very popular, and as early as the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan wrote a related poem: People traveling on the river only love the beauty of perch.
Sea bass has few bones and is suitable for children to eat, so Gao Mingcheng decided to raise some.
After a delicious meal, everyone had a full belly.
Gao Mingli was so happy that he didn't want to go to work, but as a worker, he had no choice. Soon after dinner, he rode his bicycle to the sugar factory.
As for Zhang Jinling, her cooking skills were not as good as Gao Shufang's, so she only helped with the cooking and lighting the fire. Now she was also quick and efficient in clearing the dishes on the table.
Until now, Gao Mingcheng finally had time to cultivate the father-son relationship with Xiao Xuxu.
For those colorful minnows, he even bought a glass fish tank so that he could better appreciate the fish swimming in the water.
"Fish..." Little Xuxu could recognize fish. He pointed at the minnow in the glass fish tank and became excited. Although he made sounds, they were unclear and only his biological parents could understand what he was saying.
"This is a minnow, doesn't it look nice?" Gao Mingcheng said in a tone that sounded like 'My child, this is the kingdom your father has built for you.'
"Beautiful..." These were two unclear words again, but Gao Mingcheng understood them, and he praised Xiao Xuxu for what he said and encouraged him to speak more.
Unfortunately, the excited little Xuxu just kept talking incoherently at the end, and this time even his father couldn’t understand him!
Seeing him reaching out to catch the fish, Gao Mingcheng did not stop him and let him do it. Unfortunately, the few minnows in the tank were not giving him face, and Xiao Xuxu tried several times but failed to catch any fish.
It was his embarrassing look that made Gao Mingcheng laugh.
"My little son, you don't have this talent. Your dad was very good at catching fish when he was a kid!" Gao Mingcheng boasted proudly.
As the most mischievous child of his generation, Gao Mingcheng naturally has many of his skill points maxed out.
For example, if you don't know how to fish in the water, climb trees and rob bird nests, how can you be called naughty? How can you lead your brothers to play all over the mountains and fields?
So, in fact, every child king has certain talents, at least he has leadership skills, can organize a group of people to do one thing and do it well.
Gao Mingcheng spoke without any shyness about his great achievements as a child, and said that Xiao Xuxu should follow his example.
When Xuan Mei heard these words, she was speechless and quickly said, "If my son was like you, I would cry to death!"
"Xiao Xuxu, don't listen to your dad's nonsense! Just be a good boy!" Xuanyuemei hurriedly brainwashed Xiao Xuxu, fearing that Xiao Xuxu would really be like Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng was not convinced and said, "What's wrong with being like me? Boys have to be naughty! That way their brains can be active!"
Xuanyuemei immediately retorted: "You are just too lively! But, Mingcheng, you are doing pretty well now. Based on your temper when you were a child, I thought you would run away to a big city!"
Xuanyimei is a few years younger than Gao Mingcheng, but they are of the same age. They went to elementary school together when they were young, and their friendship has existed since childhood.
So we all know what kind of person Gao Mingcheng is.
Gao Mingcheng has been able to perform so well after marriage, and sometimes many of the beauties are a little unbelievable.
When Gao Mingcheng heard so many beautiful words, he immediately touched his nose guiltily.
He is not a contented person and likes to travel around. In his previous life, he did go to a big city.
When the parents had a disagreement about their child's education, little Xuxu continued to catch fish as if no one was around, and this time he was lucky enough to catch a minnow!
He held the fish tightly in his little hands, showing it to his parents excitedly and proudly, saying "Fish, fish!"
"Oh, my son is so awesome! Dad will take you to the reservoir to fish in the future!" Gao Mingcheng praised generously, with a little light almost coming out of his eyes.
Xuanyimei also praised the child. Although she didn't want her child to be as naughty as Gao Mingcheng was when he was a child, she also hoped that the child would perform well in all aspects.
Seeing that the child liked playing with fish, Duoyumei asked, "Mingcheng, what do these minnows eat?"
Gao Mingcheng said: "They eat a lot of different things. They can eat water plants and algae. They can also eat rice and egg yolks!"
"So easy to raise?" Manyi was very surprised that this fish can actually eat rice and egg yolks!
When she was a child, she also caught minnows in the ditch for fun. However, she didn't have the heart to raise fish at that time. She cooked and ate all the minnows she caught. As a result, she had the impression that minnows were not delicious!
"It is quite easy to raise it. If you have small earthworms or something, you can feed it. But after feeding, you have to change the water, otherwise the food residue will pollute the water and the fish will easily die." Gao Mingcheng said.
This is a small problem, just a matter of changing the water. Since minnows are so easy to raise, Xuanyue decided to raise it for a while longer and leave it for Xiaoxuxu to play with.
But after playing for a while, Xuanyuemei carried little Xuxu upstairs because it was time for a nap!
Gao Mingcheng did not go upstairs to disturb them because if there were too many people, it would easily distract Xiao Xuxu and make it difficult to coax him to sleep.
He simply took a small stool and sat at the door of the store.
What was once a high-end clothing store has now become a downgraded store with eggs and wild boar meat for sale!
Fortunately, people nowadays are not so picky and are quite accepting of the practice of selling eggs and meat in front of clothing stores.
Now that Hu Yinchen didn't have to take care of the children, she was responsible for selling side dishes. With her shouting and hard work, she had already sold more than ten kilograms of wild boar meat.
Gao Mingcheng took a look at the pork on the makeshift meat stall and estimated that there were still about 10 to 20 kilograms left.
After processing a wild boar, there is not much pure meat left. Add to that the meat that is kept for family consumption and given away, and there is naturally even less that can be sold.
This also made Gao Mingcheng decide to hunt a bigger wild boar next time so that he could sell it for more money.
When Hu Yinchen saw him coming out, she immediately said, "Most of those who come to buy wild boar meat are business people on this street. At this time, few other people will come to buy meat. If it were early in the morning, it would definitely sell much better."
Gao Mingcheng didn't care and said, "It's okay, we'll sell as much as we can, and we can keep the rest for ourselves."
As I was talking, I saw a familiar figure.
Maozi also saw him from a distance, and immediately ran over and said anxiously: "Brother Mingcheng, I saw a good thing, but I have little capital and can't get it!"
Gao Mingcheng became excited and asked immediately, "What good stuff?"
Maozi came closer and whispered, "They are some beautiful bottles and some jade."
Gao Mingcheng immediately said, "Where is it? I'll go with you to see it."
