The age of rebirth: I became a farmer's little koi

Chapter 39

"That kid Hongyun came to you to complain?" When they arrived at the Liu family's old house, they received a dissatisfied look from Chen Zhaodi.

Liu Xinyu knew that she couldn't hide anything from Chen Zhaodi, so she nodded with a smile: "It's not a complaint, but I just feel unhappy in my heart, so talk to me."

"I heard that Zhang Daniu took several of his sons to the next village?" Wang Sanmei continued to gossip while feeding the youngest son while putting food into her own mouth.

Liu Xinyu is not unaccustomed to the big pot of rice in the farmhouse, and she doesn't like to eat while talking like this. If Chen Zhaodi insisted on her coming to eat, she would really like to order a bowl of noodles at home.

Subconsciously moved aside, away from Wang Sanmei, Liu Xinyu felt better, "It seems so."

Chen Zhaodi should have seen Liu Xinyu's discomfort. Seeing that Wang Sanmei still wanted to gossip, she gave Wang Sanmei a hard look: "You can't stop your mouth with food! Don't worry about other people's affairs!"

As soon as Chen Zhaodi said these words, Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinju looked over in surprise.

Don't worry about other people's affairs!
Isn't this what Liu Xinyu said to Liu Xinju just now?

When did grandma and himself have such a tacit understanding? !

After dinner, Chen Zhaodi asked Liu Xinju to take the third and fourth children to take a nap. The others couldn't take a lunch break for the time being, so they had to make a plan and implement it for catching eels.

First of all, Chen Zhaodi gave a brief introduction to the sales of rice field eels today.

"Fifteen catties? Mom, how can we have so many at home!" Liu Qingshan shouted out in surprise just as Chen Zhaodi reported the quantity ordered by Director Shan.

Of course, Chen Zhaodi rolled his eyes and scolded him severely: "What are you shouting for! It's not like I have to send it today, there are still two days left!"

This scolding blocked Wang Sanmei's exclamation that was about to come out.

Compared with his son and daughter-in-law, Liu Houxing is of course much calmer. Of course, he may have learned the news in advance, but it can be seen that he is also very excited at this time. No, he subconsciously picked up the cigarette bag and wanted to smoke a bag.

In the end, before he took out the shredded tobacco, Chen Zhaodi slapped his hand in a serious way: "I want to take it out to smoke, Xinyu can't smell your smoke!"

At this time, Liu Xinyu could only purse her lips and smile.

"Xin Yu, tell me whether we can complete this task." Chen Zhaodi directly gave Liu Xinyu the opportunity to speak.

Of course, Liu Xinyu had considered whether he could use two nights to catch enough of what Director Shan had booked and what Chen Zhaodi promised to give to Accountant Yan for free.

In addition to catching eels with the tools used last night, Liu Xinyu also plans to put cages by the river and in the paddy fields.

Because Liu Qingshan used to be the only laborer in the family, there were only a few cages for catching rice field eels in the family, and it was necessary to make more. In addition, some bait had to be prepared.

Liu Xinyu shared her thoughts and what she needed to prepare one by one, which stunned everyone in the Liu family.

Although they all know that Liu Qingshan can catch fish and eels, they have seen Liu Qingshan catch eels in a cage, and even learned Liu Qingshan in a cage, but unfortunately their gains are not much, and more is wasted effort, but they did not expect Liu Xinyu, who had always been considered a delicate girl by them, was so familiar with catching eels in cages.

Although I haven't practiced it yet, no one has questioned Liu Xinyu since the experience of catching eels last night.

At least Liu Qingshan couldn't say anything doubtful anymore, because from Liu Xinyu's words, he finally understood why his cage couldn't catch eels before.

After some discussion, Chen Zhaodi asked Liu Qingshan and Liu Houxing to rest first, and waved to Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu knew that the change was to let her go back to her home.

Everything was arranged by Chen Zhaodi, after all, no one was free, and everyone was assigned a job.

When Liu Xinyu returned to her home, she immediately started preparing the materials for the cage. After Liu Houxing had a rest, she would come to make the cage.

The materials and tools for making a cage are available at home.

The utility room at home is like a treasure house, as long as you search carefully, you can always find what you need.

It was only then that Liu Xinyu realized the benefits of Liu Qingshan always piling things in the utility room.

Liu Houxing came here alone, Liu Xinyu was a little surprised.

After looking behind Liu Houxing and making sure that Chen Zhaodi was not there, Liu Xinyu couldn't help being curious: "Did my grandma come?"

"You nurse them to go to the field, Xinjian takes Xinyao to the river to catch small fish and shrimp, and Xinju takes the fourth child to watch the house at home." Liu Houxing is not a person who likes to talk a lot, so he briefly explained the arrangement of the family, and he took Liu Qingshan to do it. study the cage.

There are tricks in the cages for catching eels. If they are not done well, they will not be able to catch eels.

Although Liu Houxing didn't talk much, he was a capable and dexterous person. It didn't take long for him to study the cage almost, but there was only one place that he always couldn't understand.

If this place is not done well, even if the eel gets into the cage, it will eventually run away, so I can't help but frowned.

Liu Xinyu, who was finishing Zhang Hongyun's clothes, couldn't help but stop stepping on the sewing machine, stood up, walked over, squatted in front of Liu Houxing, and began to study.

Although she didn't do it personally, but because of Liu Qingshan's inheritance, of course she quickly solved this problem.

"Grandpa, look here, is it enough to use this kind of thin wire to wrap around here twice?" Liu Xinyu picked up a piece of wire, pointed at the head of the cage and made a demonstration.

Liu Houxing suddenly realized, and the next step was much easier.

Liu Houxing made [-] or [-] cages in one go, including the cages in the utility room, there were about [-] cages.

Liu Xinyu hurriedly called to stop, and decided whether to continue or not after seeing the harvest in the evening.

By the way, we have to change the water for the eels in the water tank.

At this time, Liu Xinyu had already finished Zhang Hongyun's clothes, came over to look at the eels in the water tank, and pointed to a few eels that were not very active, "Master, these eels don't seem to be very active, I'm afraid they won't survive The day after tomorrow, it’s better to take it back and kill it to eat.”

Liu Houxing looked at the rice field eels in the water tank, and indeed some of them were a bit turned over.

Although they are all alive now, they cannot be guaranteed to be alive after a long time.

Although life in the country is hard, dead eels are not eaten.

It is better to kill the eel while it is still alive, and let the children eat something good.

It would be a pity to just throw it away when you die.

So on the Liu family's dinner table at night, there was an extra plate of braised rice eel, which was cooked by Liu Xinyu himself.

"It's so delicious! I used to hear people say that rice field eels are not tasty and have an earthy smell. At noon, I heard my mother-in-law said that the director Shan ordered [-] catties of rice field eels to add color to the wedding banquet, and I was still muttering! I didn't expect it to be so delicious. !” Wang Sanmei sighed while eating.

Chen Zhaodi frowned and glared at Wang Sanmei, as if she wanted to reprimand her.

Liu Xinyu didn't want the good atmosphere to be spoiled, so she swallowed the tomato and egg soup in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and explained with a smile: "The rice field eel did not burn well, and it does have an earthy smell, mainly from the mucus on the body of the rice field eel. It must be disposed of before burning."

Not only Wang Sanmei stopped her chopsticks, but Chen Zhaodi also put down the chopsticks in her hand, and Liu Xinyu inevitably spoke more carefully: "First, scald the killed rice field eel with hot water to remove the mucus on the surface of the rice field eel.

This slime is the source of the earthy smell.

However, hot water can only remove most of the mucus on the eel, and it needs to be rubbed with salt and sweet potato powder to remove it all.

Cut the cleaned eel into small pieces, drain the water, add cooking wine and marinate for about 10 minutes, add some garlic when burning, so that the burned eel basically does not smell earthy. "

It was salt and sweet potato flour again, Chen Zhaodi's complexion changed slightly, he moved his lips but finally said nothing, looking at Liu Xinyu with some indescribable eyes.
