Chapter 415: Still Want to Eat Youyou
If you tell one lie, you will have to cover it up with thousands of lies.
Fu Jingyou felt a little reluctant, but at the moment, he didn't have the right words to whitewash the matter.
The words turned on the tip of his tongue, and Fu Jingyou planned to speak slowly, so he said:
"I happened to have some free time at noon, so I thought of coming over to ask where the neighborhood office is."
"Did you ask?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head.
Lu Miao nodded, not taking it too seriously.
"Then let's wait until the weekend. There's only a short time at noon, and even if we ask someone, they won't be able to say a word."
"Um."
"Hurry up and go. It's a good thing you're at home. Help me kill the fish later!"
"good."
After returning home, Fu Jingyou killed fish by the well.
The two children squatted aside with their hands in their pockets.
Ming Xia said in a baby voice:
"Dad, there's a hole in the fish's belly."
"Oh! What a big hole..."
Mingyi was a chubby boy. While he was talking, his little hands went to pull the fish's tail disobediently.
Tang Mei discovered it in time and quickly took the two children to the side:
"That thing smells terrible, don't touch it! Smell it, is mom making something delicious in the kitchen? Come on, let's go to mom's place and take a look."
Mingyi was being led away, his chubby little face turned back as hard as he could, as if he had discovered something incredible:
"Grandma, the big fish, the big fish has a huge hole in its belly!"
Tang Mei echoed him:
"Yes, yes! There's a hole, a really big hole!"
The last time we moved here from Chongwenmen in Dongcheng District, Tang Mei brought a small jar of pickled cabbage with her when she was busy with the jars.
Lu Miao took some pickled cabbage, chopped it up and rinsed it with water for later use.
Fu Jingyou killed the fish and brought it to the kitchen. Lu Miao instructed him to cut off the fish head first.
Then cut the upper part of the fish into pieces two fingers wide.
For the lower part, hold the kitchen knife horizontally and cut the meat off along both sides of the middle fish bone.
Tang Mei came in and said:
"I'll do it, I'll do it. You two are so scary looking at me, you might cut your hands!"
Lu Miao pushed her out:
"Oh, auntie, don't worry about it. Didn't we always do this in the village before?"
With Fu Jingyou beside him, Lu Miao was able to command him more easily.
Tang Mei said it several times but it was no use. There was nothing she could do and she could only let the two of them torment her.
"The rice is ready. You should use less fish. If you can't finish it, you'll have to cook it again."
"knew!"
Fu Jingyou cleaned the fish, and Lu Miao cut the fish bones into small pieces. He asked him to pour it into the pan and sprinkle a few peppercorns on it and fry it together.
She also sliced the meat from the two fish she had cut.
Eggs were hard to buy in this area, so Lu Miao used starch instead of egg whites to fill the sliced fish with it.
Fu Jingyou had already fried the fish bones.
Lu Miao added a ladle and a half of water to the pot and put the chopped sauerkraut into it to make sour soup.
In the water in the middle, Lu Miao tasted the sour soup and added salt and a little white vinegar.
The taste is almost the same.
When bubbles began to rise in the pot again, Lu Miao fished out the fish bones and put the fish fillets coated with starch into the pot.
"Clean up and get ready for dinner!"
"good."
Tang Mei had already prepared the meal at home.
Lu Miao said he wanted a snack, so he put the rice into a bowl and placed it on the stove to keep it warm.
As soon as Lu Miao mentioned eating, Fu Jingyou immediately went to clear the table and get bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice.
During this short period of time, Lu Miao sprinkled salt on the fish pieces he had cut and rubbed them.
Lu Miao took out the reed steaming tray, placed the fish pieces on it, and placed a chair outside the door, and took the steaming tray out to dry.
In the past, when he was in the village, Lu Miao had seen Chen Guifen prepare small crucian carp and fish pieces in this way.
After drying, put a little oil in the pan. It will not only taste good but also will not stick to the pan when frying.
This weather is also suitable for doing these things, and there is no need to worry about them going bad after being exposed to the sun for a whole morning.
"Stop messing around and come in to eat! The two little ones are drooling."
"Haha, here it comes."
Lu Miao washed his hands and walked into the house with a smile. He picked up the two children and wiped their saliva one by one.
She took a small bowl and filled it with sour soup and rice, and gave each of them a few slices of fish.
Black carp has few bones.
When filleting the fish, Lu Miao paid special attention and pulled out any small bones he saw.
I also carefully checked when picking up the fish fillets, so there is no need to worry about the child getting stuck.
"You really have learned a great cooking skill. How did you make this fish fillet? It's so tender and delicious!"
"Some of it I figured out on my own, and some I learned from my aunts and sisters-in-law when I went to the countryside."
The pickled fish had just the right amount of sourness and no chili peppers, and both children enjoyed it.
Mingxia ate quickly, her mouth watering with a grain of rice on the corner of her mouth. She held up an empty bowl in one hand and a small spoon in the other, leaning against the bench where her mother was sitting and shouting:
"Mom, I want more Yuyu!"
"Mom, I want some meat too."
Mingyi also came over, also holding a bowl and a spoon.
His lips, which looked just like his father's, were chubby and drool-stained because he was still young.
The two children are over two years old and can say more and more words, but to varying degrees, their articulation is still a little unclear.
"Okay, I'll serve you some meat."
Lu Miao's eyebrows curved and he smiled dotingly.
She wiped the child's saliva, while the child's father had already taken two small bowls and served them some fish meat.
Lu Miao reminded gently: "Look at this, some have thorns."
"good."
"Would you like some food?"
"I don't want rice, Xia Xia only wants You You."
"I want food!"
The younger sister doesn't want it, but the older brother does.
Fu Jingyou stood up and gave half a spoonful to his son Kuai.
I followed my daughter-in-law's example and mixed it thoroughly with a spoon before handing it to my son.
The greedy boy raised his little hand early and waited to receive the bowl.
Lu Miao smiled and touched Xiao Mingyi's head, saying:
"The fish head is still there. Let's make fish head soup tonight... By the way."
She kicked Fu Jingyou lightly under the table.
"I've left some sour soup and fish in the pot. I'll heat it up a bit later. Can you take some in your lunch box and bring it to Dad?"
"OK."
The principal's office is on the fifth floor, which is less crowded.
He would just put down his things and leave. If he didn't stay for long, he wouldn't attract attention.
Fu Jingyou went to class in the afternoon, and Lu Miao took a nap with the children at home.
She woke up first in the afternoon.
Tang Mei was slowly tidying up something inside and outside the house. Lu Miao looked at the small vegetable patch in the yard and went back to the kitchen to get a bucket and a ladle.
I pumped half a bucket of water from the well and watered the vegetable patch several times.
The weather has been warm these past two days, and the small patch of spinach I planted has grown into seedlings two finger-joints long.
The other lettuce, coriander, pepper and eggplant seedlings have also sprouted, and they just need to grow a little bit more before they can be divided and planted.
The tomato, loofah, cucumber and watermelon seeds that were just sown two days ago have not sprouted yet. I guess we have to wait until the weather gets warmer.
After sending the bucket back to the kitchen, Lu Miao gathered together the fish intestines that Fu Jingyou had just used to kill the fish, as well as the old vegetable leaves and potato peels that he had picked at home in the past two days.
There is a pile of fertilizer in the corner of the wall that is sheltered from the sun on this side of the well.
