Da Song a knife

Chapter 36
All the way back to the village, Zhang Sijiu shared the money with Zhaoyin, [-] yuan each.

Holding the seventeen coins, Zhaoyin looked excited: "We are really selling for money!"

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Yes. You can still make money in the future."

Today I only picked mushrooms and fungus.

However, improper consumption of fresh fungus can cause poisoning, so it is better to dry it before selling it.

Next, there's a drink stand to earn some money.

For the time being, I am not afraid of having nothing to do.

After Zhaoyin calmed down a bit, the two parted ways and went home separately.

After returning home, Zhang Sijiu gave Mrs. Xu the ten renminbi from selling eggs, ten renminbi from selling mushrooms, and the ten renminbi that Mrs. Xu had given him before, making a total of [-] renminbi to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu frowned: "Haven't you bought something to eat after walking so far?"

Zhang Sijiu quietly told Mrs. Xu about buying the buns, "Second Aunt, don't worry about me, I didn't treat myself badly."

She patted her pocket and made the sound of copper coins colliding: "I also left seven coins for myself."

Only then did Xu laugh: "Then you put it away, don't let your grandma know."

Zhang Sijiu understood: "Be filial."

Xu laughed angrily and poked Zhang Sijiu on the forehead.

Zhang Sijiu ran to see Little Pumpkin.

Pumpkins are pretty much the same every day now.

Looking at it every day, it seems to be a little rounder and bigger than yesterday.

She sleeps most of the day and needs little to worry about.When you cry, you must be hungry or tired.

Such a worry-free child gave Zhang Sijiu an illusion: It seems that raising a baby is not difficult?
But Zhang Sijiu still maintained the vigilance of a doctor, trying his best to keep the environment clean and safe, so as to ensure that the little pumpkin had no chance of getting sick.

With the current medical conditions, once a baby gets sick, it is easy to die.

After washing her hands, she dared to poke the little pumpkin's face: "Little guy, grow up quickly."

Before the little aunt of the Li family runs out of bullets and food, try to grow stronger!

However, it's time to get some milk soup for Aunt Li's family again.This is the milk barn, it must not be empty!

Zhang Sijiu thought of crucian carp soup.

There is a lot of water here, and crucian carp is also an easy-to-obtain ingredient.

As for the side dishes inside, Zhang Sijiu gave up tofu and chose loofah in the end. Apart from the lack of money, the other reason is that according to Li’s aunt’s idea of ​​confinement, the little aunt of Li’s family may not be able to eat many vegetables now. of.

If you can't eat vegetables, you will be prone to constipation.

For the health of pregnant women, an appropriate amount of vegetables is a must.

Zhang Sijiu even planned to make some nonsense so that Aunt Li's family could eat more food.

Zhang Sijiu asked Xiaosong about where to get free crucian carp.

Komatsu offered two ideas, one is to go fishing by himself.

One is to go to the basket to catch it by oneself.

Because it is close to the river, there are baskets in his house.This kind of basket has a big belly and a small opening, and there is a movable baffle on the opening, so you can't get out after entering it.

In this matter, Xiao Song often followed Zhang Xiaoshan to do it.

But after all, I don’t make a living from fishing, so this matter is a game of tickets. Whether I can have fish depends purely on luck.

Zhang Sijiu decided to give it a try, and when he really couldn't catch it, he would cut up the flesh and bloodlet it and pay for the fish.

As for the bait, Zhang Sijiu followed Xiaosong's suggestion and directly chose the internal organs of the frog that Zhang Xiaoshan and the others caught yesterday.

Put the balls of frog internal organs into the deepest part of the basket, then tie the basket with a hemp rope, then go to the river to find a suitable place, throw it into a place with deeper water, and then tie the hemp rope to a wooden stick , and then smash the wooden stick into the soil with a stone to fix it, and finally just wait.

This method is not difficult, but you have to keep guarding.

Otherwise, the fish basket might be taken away.Not only can I not catch fish, but I have to pay for the hemp rope and the fish basket.

In Xiaosong's words, night is the best time, when all the fish come out to find food, and they are most likely to be fooled.

But their children are not allowed to come to the river at night. It is said that there are water ghosts by the river, and they will come ashore at night to catch children and eat them.

When Xiao Song said this, he was a little scared.He asked Zhang Sijiu: "Sister, do you think there really are water ghosts?"

Zhang Si did not change his countenance and his heart skipped a beat: "Of course there is. So stay away from here at night."

Xiao Song immediately became more afraid.

Zhang Sijiu turned his face away, so as not to let Xiaosong see the corners of his mouth that could not help but curl up: How should I put it, a child, you may not be able to listen to reasoning, scaring him, making him have a sense of awe, will actually be more intimidating a little.

After getting out of the fish cage, Zhang Sijiu simply went back to get the knife and basket, and cut the grass nearby. When the sun was about to set, the two of them pulled the fish cage back.

I have to say, this thing is really useful.

But it does depend on luck.

There is something in the cage.

But there are many fish with long thumbs, many snails, and only one crucian carp.

And it's only the size of a palm.

The child's palm is big.

Looking at the harvest, Zhang Sijiu couldn't help sighing: It's a little less.

Still, it's better than nothing.

And the first time to get into the fish cage, this feeling is quite a sense of accomplishment.

In the end Zhang Sijiu carried the fish cage happily and went home with a basket on his back.

The fish was very fresh, and it jumped and crackled in the fish cage along the way, and the water dripping from the cage wet Zhang Sijiu's trouser legs.

But Zhang Sijiu's steps are light and his joy is boundless——

It's just that Zhang Xiaoshan laughed at the fish they got in exchange for an afternoon's work.

Zhang Xiaoshan grinned and showed a row of white teeth: "Jiu Niang wants to eat fish? You said it earlier, I will go fishing at night!"

Xiaosong Xiaobai followed immediately: "Father, I want to go too! I want to go too!"

Zhang Sijiu knew that fishing at night was a good harvest, but in this season, there were too many mosquitoes near the water, and he had to stay up late, which was too hard for Zhang Xiaoshan.

She shook her head: "No, I think it's okay anyway. If you can catch it, make a soup and send it to Aunt Li's family. The little pumpkin goes to breastfeed every day, and I want to do something to thank you, Auntie."

Mrs. Xu was extremely pleased: "Our Jiu Niang is really sensible."

She directed Zhang Xiaoshan: "You go and kill all the fish. I will fry the small fish in lard later, and when the kang is dry, I will give it to the children as snacks."

Zhang Sijiu took the opportunity to mention: "Fry the crucian carp too!"

Xu smiled: "OK."

While Zhang Xiaoshan was going to kill fish, Zhang Sijiu ran to the edge of the courtyard wall, picked a loofah, peeled and cut it into hob pieces, took sliced ​​ginger and a casserole, and waited to cook crucian carp soup.

Xu watched and sighed with Yang who was burning the fire: "Jiu Niang's posture looks a bit like cooking. She is organized. She is also careful and knows not to take advantage of others."

Yang didn't say anything, but she was satisfied in her heart: that's all it needs to be, otherwise if you marry someone later, won't you be picked by your in-laws?

After Zhang Xiaoshan had finished killing the crucian carp, Zhang Sijiu specially removed all the black film inside the belly of the fish, otherwise the fish would be much fishier.

Finally, Mrs. Xu smeared a little lard with a pan and fried the crucian carp on both sides.

Zhang Sijiu stuffed the fish belly with scallions and ginger, then added water and stewed it in a small casserole.

At this time, it is almost time for dinner at home.

Tonight's dinner is stewed loach and frogs. Mrs. Xu was afraid of the smell, so she put a lot of dogwood and ginger and scallions.

　See you tomorrow wow~ Tomorrow, I will start working hard!
