Chapter 31 Chapter 31 “Who is doing…
"Who's cooking meat? It smells so good!"
“Why does it smell so good…”
Suddenly, everyone in the village, whether they had eaten or not, began to gather...
The Wang family father and son, who were closest to the meal, suffered the most. They felt that the lunch was wasted. However, when talking about the lunch, the Wang family father and son are still savoring it. They couldn't figure out how the pig intestines were cooked so deliciously. There was really no peculiar smell at all, and people couldn't get enough of it. It was a pity that they had to go into the mountains at night and couldn't drink too much, otherwise they really wanted to drink to their heart's content with the intestines.
"Wipe your saliva, let's go." Wang Tiezhu picked up the kettle, the machete rope, and the trap clamps, and patted the head of Wang Ergou, who kept glancing at the Su family.
"It hurts, Dad. I told you not to hit me on the head. What if I get hit stupid? I haven't even married yet!" It was already difficult for him to find a wife with his looks, and if he got stupid, it would be even worse.
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu silently looked at his son, who had inherited his strong build, dark skin, and beard, and withdrew his hand in frustration. "Alright, alright, I got it. I won't hit you next time."
If they really beat him silly, their Wang family would be extinct...
Thinking about his mother who once wanted to have a grandson but failed, I guess she would never let him go even if she became a ghost.
Su family,
As the pickled fish was ready, Su Tao, who was originally hanging clothes, could no longer hold back. She only hated that she only had two hands and could not wash the clothes quickly. She just wrung the clothes a few times and hung them up without unfolding them. Then she wiped her hands on her body in a panic and quickly ran to the kitchen.
"Fifth sister, it smells so good!" Why does it smell so good? Aren't we having grilled fish tonight? When did grilled fish smell so good?
Su Tao looked at the bowl full of fish fillets covered with peppercorns, chili peppers and shredded ginger, her eyes full of curiosity.
"What is this? Fish? Why is there pickled cabbage in it?"
“It’s pickled fish!”
Pickled fish? This was the first time Su Tao had seen fish cooked with pickled cabbage. And the fish was even filleted? What a strange way to cook it!
"Do you want to try it, Fourth Sister?"
Su Li handed the chopsticks with pickled cabbage to Su Tao. However, Su Tao, who always loved food, was a little hesitant. Pickled fish? Can fish with pickled cabbage taste good? I'm afraid it will be too sour and fishy.
However, this thought was fleeting. Out of trust in her sister Su Li's cooking skills, Su Tao honestly took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish.
The surface of the fish meat, which had been splashed with hot oil and scalded at high temperature, turned slightly yellow and curled up into a ball. Su Tao picked up a piece of fish meat easily. She blew on it twice and then put it into her mouth while it was still hot.
However, Su Tao was shocked as soon as she took a bite. It was so hot, tender, spicy and fresh, with a little bit of sourness from sauerkraut and spiciness from chili peppers. She swallowed it without even having time to chew. There was no fishy smell at all, and the fish fillets had a light burnt aroma and spicy taste, and were tender and smooth.
Su Tao was so delicious that her eyes widened. She couldn't believe it was fish.
The taste was nothing like the boiled fish she remembered. She always remembered the fish her mother Chen had made three years ago.
It was fishy and unpalatable. She took a bite and spat it out, and was scolded by her mother...
"How does it taste?" Su Li looked at Su Tao.
"tasty!"
It’s really delicious, it’s the best fish Su Tao has ever eaten!!
Then Su Tao picked up several more pieces before stopping reluctantly.
But then she thought that they could eat after her mother Chen came back, and she regained her energy!
Su Tao looked towards the yard and prayed in her heart: Mom, please come back soon!!!
But when Chen came back, she started hiding in the house again.
"Su Tao, come out here! I asked you to wash clothes, and this is how you wash them?? Huh?!"
You should know that it is not scary when the adults at home call you by their given name. The scariest thing is to call you by your full name.
"Fifth sister, I'm leaving first. You can light the fire yourself."
After saying that, Su Tao ran into the house at lightning speed.
"Don't think you'll be fine if you hide in there. Come out right now and hang your clothes up again, or you won't be able to eat tonight."
When it came to the issue of eating, Su Tao could only come out of the main room in shame.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen, and silently took the clothes down and hung them up again.
Fortunately, Su Li came out to rescue her at this time.
"Mom, come and try it and see if the fish I cooked is delicious."
Knowing that her little daughter did it on purpose, Chen didn't hold on to her and just went down the stairs.
"Okay, I'll wash my hands and come back."
After saying that, Chen put the backpack aside, went to fetch water to wash her hands, and then turned and went to the kitchen.
However, when Chen saw the pickled fish on the stove, she was dumbfounded. "Sour cabbage stewed fish?"
Chen was a little puzzled. How could her little daughter come up with such a strange idea?
The pickled cabbage is sour and the fish is fishy, how can they be delicious together? Sure enough, the little daughter didn't cook enough and dared to add anything else. It was a pity that the fish cost her four cents!
Chen's expression changed again and again, she was a little angry and a little hurt, but Su Li didn't know this, and still naturally took the chopsticks and handed them to Chen, "Mom, these chopsticks are for you."
Chen took the chopsticks and sighed in her heart, forget it, it’s already done, just eat it.
But it still smells delicious, Chen thought, so she picked up a piece of fish fillet with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
However, the expected strange taste did not appear. Instead, it was replaced by the tender, spicy and numbing taste of the fish, plus the sour taste of sauerkraut. What was strange was that the sourness of the sauerkraut did not affect the taste of the fish, but instead made the taste of the fish more layered.
The first thing that came to Chen's mind was, delicious! Really delicious. Such a strange combination actually made something so delicious. This made Chen start to wonder, could it be that the reason her cooking wasn't tasty was because she was too conventional?
"Not bad! I didn't expect fish cooked with pickled cabbage to be so delicious!"
Speaking of pickled cabbage, Chen put down her chopsticks and continued, "By the way, Wu Ya, please serve me some. I'll send some to your Aunt Mo and the others later, and ask them to buy some vegetables. I just checked, and there aren't many vegetables left. We haven't pickled any pickled cabbage this year."
This is a big deal in the eyes of farmers. When there is no salt throughout the year, they rely on eating pickles to get salt. For example, the Su family pickles three large jars of pickles every year, and sometimes it is not enough for the whole family.
When Su Li heard this, she also remembered something, "Mom, are the beans and eggplants in our fields almost gone?"
“It seems there aren’t many left.”
I went to Jiangkou Wharf to sell food these two days. The amount of vegetables needed every day is quite large. The Su family has relatively little land, and they mostly grow grains, so naturally they don’t grow many vegetables. In addition, Mrs. Wu has been to the clinic recently, and no one has taken care of the vegetables in the field. The leaves have been bitten by various insects, leaving holes left and right.
