In the end, Jianshu managed to get a small piece, a really small piece, not even as big as her little finger, not even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.
But she dared not speak out. Who had she just burned herself? She didn't dare to continue to argue, for fear that she would lose even the small piece in her hand.
He glanced reluctantly at the large bowl over there, but could only lower his head and nibble on a small piece in his hand.
The fish, which could be easily swallowed in one bite, was eaten by her in several bites. It can be said that she cherishes it very much.
Gu Mingjing suppressed the thought of giving her another piece, knowing very well that she was doing it on purpose, trying to soften his heart by playing the victim without making a sound. He couldn't let her succeed, so he continued cooking to divert his attention.
Fry the small miscellaneous fish until both sides are golden brown, add seasonings and cook them together. Add a little green and red pepper and green onion slices when they are out of the pan. The aroma comes with the hot steam and bubbles gurgle.
It has a great appearance, color, aroma and taste, and just the smell makes your mouth water.
Jianshu swallowed and said, "Hurry, hurry up, I'm so hungry!" He couldn't wait to eat.
"Eat first if you're hungry. The meal is ready and I'll be done soon." Gu Mingjing said as he cut the tofu into pieces with a knife and threw them into the pot.
Reluctantly glancing at the basin of small fish next to her, Jian Shu still shook her head firmly and said, "I'll wait for you." She had no intention of abandoning the chef and eating alone.
"Try it, this crispy small fish is delicious!" She stretched out her hand and fed him a small fish, then stuffed a piece into her own mouth.
“Mmm, delicious!”
"Isn't it!" Jian Shu was very proud, as if she had done it.
The tofu was cooked very quickly and was ready in just a few minutes. Gu Mingjing scooped it out quickly and said, "Alright, let's eat!"
"I'll go serve the rice!" Jianshu, who had been impatient for a long time, took out the bowls and chopsticks for both of them from the cupboard.
The two of them quickly sat down at the table.
Jian Shu picked up her chopsticks and started to eat the braised small fish. She had been thinking about this for a long time. She picked up one fish for Gu Mingjing first and said, "Try it quickly. Chef, you have worked hard today. You have to eat more!"
"Our fish butcher has worked hard, and he should eat more!" Gu Mingjing smiled and picked up the biggest fish for her.
“It’s hard work, it’s all hard work!”
With delicious food in front of her, she stopped talking nonsense. The wild small fish was already delicious, and with the help of seasoning, it was a spicy and delicious taste. The broth was the essence. Once mixed with rice, she could eat two large bowls.
Fortunately, they had anticipated this and cooked enough food tonight, enough for the two of them to have a full meal.
If Gu Mingjing hadn't stopped him in time, Jianshu would have eaten too much again.
But Jianshu, who always felt unsatisfied, held on to the crispy small fish and kept saying that it was an after-dinner snack. He fought with Gu Mingjing for a long time, but in the end, the fish was confiscated.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching. She kept a distance from him when they slept and refused to let him touch her.
Gu Mingjing looked helpless. Fortunately, he didn't send him to sleep in the second bedroom. He waited until the man fell asleep before he took him into his arms.
***
Just after finishing the crispy small fish, when Jianshu was thinking about what new food to make, Wu Xiufang came to the door.
"Sister Shu, are you at home? Hurry up and pick some vegetables so we can exchange them for plums!" Wu Xiufang pushed open the gate and shouted at the door while carrying a basket.
After hearing the words clearly, Jianshu jumped up from the sofa, quickly put on his slippers and ran out, "I'm coming!"
"Sister-in-law, why is it so sudden? I haven't prepared anything yet!" She hadn't picked the vegetables yet, so she hurriedly took out a basket and ran to the back.
Wu Xiufang put her things on the ground and came over to help. "We originally planned to go in two days. Waiting a few more days will make the plums redder. But when I came back from the supply and marketing cooperative today, I heard a few people discussing going to exchange plums tomorrow. There are so many of them and they want to exchange a lot. After they've exchanged all the plums, we'll only be able to pick out the leftovers. We might as well go today. At least there's still some to choose from."
"Then we'd better go today. The plums on the same tree can be sweet or sour. If we go too late, we won't be able to pick the good ones. Sister-in-law, you are well-informed." Jian Shu also affirmed her choice.
As for the fact that if they went first, wouldn't others have picked up the leftovers? Putting aside the fact that there were only two of them and the maximum weight was only about ten pounds, which wasn't much for two perennial plum trees, on the other hand, isn't shopping on a first-come, first-served basis? The fact that they heard the news first and got the upper hand was their own merit. If Wu Xiufang hadn't heard and someone else had gotten there first, they would have just accepted it.
There were a lot of vegetables at home, so Jianshu didn't pick the ones that weighed a lot. He picked a few of each, carried them in a bag, and stopped when he estimated there were about ten pounds. There was no need to pick too much. Not only would it be tiring to carry it, but if you carried too much, you wouldn't be able to eat it all.
This thing is just for fun. If you eat it all the time, you will easily get acid reflux.
"That's enough, that's all. Sister-in-law, I'm going to change my clothes. You sit and wait for me. It will be done soon."
Wu Xiufang took a look at the vegetables in the basket. They were much less than what she had brought. "Is this all you brought? It's rare to find fruit. I should exchange more and bring some back. It would be good to dry them and eat them slowly."
"No, there are only two of us at home. We can't finish eating more if we change more." She has no shortage of dried fruits. Compared with dried plums, she still prefers dried yellow peaches and so on.
Seeing that she had an idea, Wu Xiufang didn't say anything more.
After quickly changing his clothes and putting on his shoes, Jianshu pushed the bicycle out the door, and Wu Xiufang followed behind him carrying two baskets.
The village is not too far away, but it still takes twenty to thirty minutes to walk there. It is more convenient to ride a bike there.
The road was bumpy and Jianshu rode very carefully because he had someone on his back.
Ten minutes later, following the direction of Wu Xiufang's finger, Jianshu stopped at the door of a house.
"Comrade Wu is here. You're here earlier this year than in previous years!" An elderly female comrade came out of the room, a big smile appeared on her face when she saw Wu Xiufang, and she came up to greet her warmly.
Of course she is enthusiastic. This is her old customer who comes to do business every year.
