Chapter 59 Stir-Fried Frog
In a puddle.

Fat Miaoer kept tossing and turning.

Not long after, the clean soles were covered with mud, and a dozen frogs died in her hands.

"Let's go home!"

Fat Miao'er dragged the frog legs, put them into the basket one by one, and took Li Hongzao back to the village.

At this moment, her mind is filled with all kinds of frog delicacies, and she has long forgotten about digging earthworms.

"I'll help you dig again tomorrow."

After walking a few steps, she arrived at Li Hongzao's house. She waved her hand, said goodbye, and entered the house under Fat Miao'er's watchful eye.

"So dirty!"

Fat Miao'er looked down at the shoes under her feet, and frowned.

Squatting down, picking up twigs, and scraping the dirty cloth shoes, over and over again, the mud was almost gone, and she walked back to her home with light steps.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open, and as soon as he entered, Liu Ye'er, who was drying clothes in the yard, noticed the soles of Fat Miao'er's feet.

She paused and asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Why are the shoes still dirty?"

Liu Ye'er remembered that before going out, Fat Miao'er told herself that she and Li Hongzao were going to dig earthworms, but digging earthworms would never go to the mud ditch.

"Take it off quickly, I'll brush it for you."

Liu Ye'er shook off the water stains on her hands, turned around and went back to the house to find a pair of clean shoes, and handed them to Fat Miao'er.

At this moment, she just finished washing her clothes, and before the water had time to pour, it happened to be in hand.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Fat Miao'er put down the pan, pulled the small stool aside and sat down, reached out and took off the soiled shoes and put them in the tub.

"Where did it go?" Liu Ye'er asked again while brushing.

"Go to the puddle behind Li Hongzao's house."

Fat Miao'er put the clean shoes on her feet, stood up, put the basket under Liu Ye'er's eyelids, and explained: "We were going to dig earthworms, but..."

Fat Miaoer told the story of catching frogs.

"frog?"

Liu Ye'er exclaimed, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise, she shook her head again and again: "No, no, you can't eat frogs, absolutely not!"

Liu Ye'er looked at the frog as if she was looking at something dirty, with a disgusted look on her face, which was exactly the same as Li Hongzao's reaction.

She looked up and saw Fat Miao'er's eyes were confused, she seemed puzzled, and continued: "A beggar used to have a stomachache because he caught frogs and ate them. If he hadn't recovered better, he would have died."

Liu Ye'er sighed.

From the moment she heard about it, she swore that she would never eat frogs unless she could not find food.

"Fat Meow!"

Liu Ye'er called out, raised her head, and said solemnly and solemnly: "Our family is not short of food now, and we don't need to eat frogs."

"If you want to eat meat, let's buy another piece of meat tomorrow, okay?"

Liu Ye'er coaxed Fat Miao'er in a childlike tone.

Fat Miao'er was unmoved by what he heard, and only noticed three words in his mind - upset stomach!

Li Hongzao mentioned this point, and Liu Ye'er mentioned it again, it can't be just a coincidence.

Fat Miao'er leaned on her chin and seemed to be thinking, but in fact her consciousness was already immersed in the encyclopedia.

After a while.

"Ah! I found it!" Fat Miao'er exclaimed.

"What?" Liu Ye'er was startled.

Fat Miao'er stood up abruptly: "I know why everyone has diarrhea after eating frogs."

"Why, why?" Liu Ye'er was confused.

Fat Miao'er put his little hand behind his back, raised his head, and said seriously like an old master: "Because there are a lot of parasites in the frog's body, if it is not cleaned and cooked when it is cooked, people will have diarrhea after eating it."

Is that right?

Liu Ye'er didn't understand what a parasite was, but she understood, and said hesitantly, "You mean, as long as you clean the frog and cook it well, you won't have a stomachache?"

"Yes!"

Fat Miao'er nodded heavily, picked up the small back basket, turned his hands down, and the dead frogs fell on the ground one after another: "We peel off its skin, remove its internal organs, clean it, and then eat it."

Liu Ye'er was dubious, and when he was hesitating, Fat Miao'er had already entered the kitchen, took out a newly bought knife, and was about to peel and disembowel her.

"Put it there, I'll come!"

When Liu Ye'er saw it, she hurriedly pulled him back, and took the knife from Fat Miao'er.

Cut open the belly of the frog to take out the viscera, and scratch it lightly from the back, tearing off the outer skin along the opening.

"Is that right?" Liu Ye'er picked up the packed frog and looked at Fat Miao'er inquiringly.

"Yes! That's it!" Fat Miao'er nodded, found a basin, and scooped up clean water.

This morning, Li Xiaodao went to the well to fetch water with a bucket. The water tank belonged to the Wu family, and it was placed in the yard, so they could just use it.

She put the frog treated with willow leaves into the water and washed it repeatedly. After everything was done, she took it to the kitchen and chopped it up for storage.

In the afternoon, when it was time to eat, Liu Ye'er brought out the frog again, and according to Fat Miao'er's instructions, add oil, salt, chopped green onion, and pepper, and stir-fry the frog on high heat.

"What are you doing? It smells so good!"

As soon as Compass entered the yard, there was a burst of aroma. It didn't take much guessing to know that it must be something with oily stars.

He couldn't wait to approach the kitchen, and looked into the pot with his head raised.

"What is this?" Luo Pan was a little curious.

The things in the pot looked like meat, but it was not a kind of chicken, duck or fish, so he was confused.

"This is obviously..."

Liu Ye'er opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but Fat Miao'er quickly tugged at her sleeve, and shook her head imperceptibly.

He walked to Luopan with a smile on his face: "Third Brother, guess what this is?"

The compass couldn't see it, and Fat Miao'er didn't want to point it out.

"hey-hey!"

Compass grinned and guessed: "This looks like a chicken that hasn't grown up..."

Having said that, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Could it be, could it be that the chicken at home died?"

Compass felt distressed and covered his chest. A little chicken can cost eight cents!
"Of course not!" Fat Miao'er retorted loudly, and said triumphantly, "This is a frog."

"frog?"

The volume of the compass suddenly increased again: "Really?"

He really didn't recognize this.

"Really, try it."

Fat Miao'er picked up a piece and handed it to Compass' mouth.

Compass is more courageous than Liu Ye'er, and it was Fat Miao'er who asked him to eat, so there is nothing to be afraid of, he immediately opened his mouth and ate it in one bite, chewing carefully.

"Fragrant! Really fragrant!"

Compass gave a thumbs up. He never thought that the frog could be so delicious.

"What smells so good?"

At this time, Li Xiaodao and Wei Shu finished unloading the cart, tied up the donkey, and rushed over when they heard the kitchen.

"frog."

Liu Ye'er took advantage of the opportunity to put the fried frog into the plate, and brought it directly to the main room. The meal was full of fragrance, and the five people ate it full of oil.

Until night fell, Liu Ye'er lay on the kang and fell asleep. This time she did not sleep well, and was always worried about having a stomachache.

"Oh~" A rooster crowed, and it was dawn.
