Chapter 5: Cutting the fish, Jia Zhang is jealous



What’s the matter? Can’t your Jia Dongxu afford to buy fish?

If you care about so many things, why don't you care about the Pacific Ocean? "

Jia Zhang was so angry at Liu Xiaojun that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Dongxu's father, you left early and left us orphans and widows to be bullied. Come back soon and take a look."

"Now even a teenager dares to bully me."

Liu Xiaojun saw Yi Zhonghai listening in the corner for a long time and wanted to leave. A mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Uncle, please don't leave. Come and judge for yourself. Aunt Jia said that I was showing off by cutting fish in the yard. What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai had arrived a long time ago. He listened in the corner for a long time and naturally knew that this matter was all Jia Zhang's fault from beginning to end.

If Jia Zhang hadn't insisted on provoking Liu Xiaojun, Liu Xiaojun wouldn't have wanted to pay any attention to her.

However, Jia Dongxu is his apprentice, and the relationship between him and Jia Zhang must be closer.

However, he was the boss of the courtyard and could not openly favor Jia Zhang.

So, he said seriously, "Ahem, Sister Jia."

"You're definitely at fault for this. There's only one well in the entire hospital, so it's normal for Liu Xiaojun to come out and deal with the fish. You're going too far by saying that to him."

When Jia Zhang heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she couldn't believe it.

You want her to apologize?

No way!

She refused to apologize or say anything, and turned around and went straight back to her room.

When Liu Xiaojun saw this, a sneer appeared on his face.

Did Jia Zhang think that as long as she didn't apologize, the matter would be over?

In the days to come, don't let him catch the Jia family doing anything wrong, otherwise I will not show mercy.

Gurgle, his stomach began to protest. Liu Xiaojun was also hungry now and was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai and his group.

He just wanted to finish processing the fish quickly and have a full meal early.

Soon, the fish belly was cut open. Liu Xiaojun was very skilled in handling the fish and quickly removed all the internal organs.

The bitter gall was also carefully avoided.

If the gallbladder breaks, the fish is basically doomed.

Liu Xiaojun looked at the fish intestines and felt that they were useless, so he didn't plan to take them.

The third uncle looked at the remaining entrails and immediately rushed out: "Xiaojun, do you still want those fish entrails?"

Liu Xiaojun didn't want it at first, but when he heard what the third uncle said, he immediately said, "Of course I want it."

These three uncles really feel uncomfortable if they don't do something to him.

The third uncle said angrily: "Okay, forget it if you want that, I have this."

Liu Xiaojun really didn't plan to take it.

But now, he felt that the fish intestines were still useful and could be kept as bait to catch eels in the river.

He Yushui came over after school and saw Liu Xiaojun. She was surprised and said, "Brother Xiaojun, are you healed? Can you get out of bed now?"

He Yushui at this time is different from the He Yushui in the TV series. He looks to be only about ten years old.

He was wearing a dirty and worn cotton jacket, looking timid.

Ever since He Daqing ran away with the young widow, He Yushui has been completely left without anyone to take care of her.

Especially after Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu had no one to rely on and started to set her sights on Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was completely focused on Qin Huairu.

He ignored He Yushui, and no one cared about He Yushui anymore, and he often went hungry.

Liu Xiaojun thought of the fried dough sticks Sha Zhu gave him at noon, so he decided to invite He Yushui to her house for dinner, as a way of repaying Sha Zhu for his kindness.

He smiled and said, "Yushui is back, go play with our Tangtang."

"Your brother has to cook for the factory director tonight and will be back late. We're having fish tonight, so you can eat at my house!"

"Wouldn't that be too troublesome?" He Yushui said a little embarrassedly as she didn't go in immediately.

"Hey, Sister Yu Shui, come here. My brother caught two big fish. You can eat with us later." Tangtang came over and took He Yu Shui's hand.

He Yushui was pulled by Tangtang and had no choice but to go to Liu Xiaojun's house.

Liu Xiaojun waited and waited but Liu Huizhen didn't come back, so he decided to prepare the food first and let Liu Huizhen eat it directly when she came back, as a surprise for her.

So he started to fillet the fish with a knife, and each piece of fish was sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wing, with just the right thickness.

These knife skills were honed when he was working outside in his previous life.

It’s definitely not because I’m greedy!

He first put the fish bones into the pot to cook soup, and then took out the fish bones after the soup turned milky white.

Then put the fish fillets into the pot one by one, add some salt and sauerkraut.

After a while, the aroma came out, which whetted one's appetite.

He Xiaojun also made seven or eight large white flour buns with white flour.

It's plump and looks very filling.

The steamed buns are cooked, and so is the pickled fish.

Liu Huizhen also walked into the house at this time.

She searched outside all day but couldn't find a job, so she didn't go home.

I didn’t know that Liu Xiaojun’s illness had recovered, and he even cooked a table full of food that was not even enough to eat during the Chinese New Year.

She didn't look very good at the moment, and looked dazed.

His son was lying on the hospital bed and was about to starve to death, and the whole family had been without food for several days.

After wandering around the city for a long time without finding a job, she went straight to Xizhimen, thinking of trying her luck at digging some wild vegetables under the Xizhimen city wall.

But when we arrived at Xizhimen, we found that there was nothing at the foot of the city wall, even the roots of wild vegetables had been dug up.

no way.

She then returned home empty-handed.

As a result, as soon as I entered the house, I was attracted by the rich aroma of food.
