Chapter 58 Fish Soup Gnocchi

With the candy sent by Yang Yuanding, Zhang Sijiu certainly got twice the result with half the effort.

The money earned on the first day added up to a total of more than [-], which was still a net profit excluding costs.

Zhang Sijiu gave Xu Shi one hundred coins, and asked Xu Shi to save it to repair the pigsty.

Then I had dinner at night, finished working on the little pumpkin, and went to bed early.

This day was really exhausting. She could say that as soon as she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, she fell asleep to death.

But Mrs. Xu was thinking about what Zhang Sijiu said, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Zhang Xiaoshan was snoring loudly next to him, so Xu kicked him in anger: "I just know how to sleep!"

This kick almost didn't kick Zhang Xiaoshan off.

Zhang Xiaoshan woke up naturally, but he was still not sober: "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"

Xu bumped into Zhang Xiaoshan again: "Jiu Niang said something today, and I think it makes sense."

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't think about it at all, he just echoed in a half-dream and half-awake: "It makes sense, isn't it good?"

Mrs. Xu simply sat up and shook Zhang Xiaoshan up: "I'll discuss something with you."

Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to sit up, but in his heart he still wanted to continue to fall down and sleep.It's just that he still didn't dare not listen to his daughter-in-law: "What's the matter? Aren't you in charge of our family?"

"Are you dead?" Xu was so angry that he pinched Zhang Xiaoshan: "Since when did I make the decision alone? People listen to your words and think I am so fierce!"

Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed "Isn't it fierce" and gave a dry laugh.Take out the usual way of pretending to be confused: "I said it was wrong, I said it was wrong."

Mrs. Xu also calmed down, and talked to Zhang Xiaoshan about repairing the pigsty: "At first, I wanted to save the money, but Jiuniang was right. If I raise two more pigs and sell them at that time, I will get back the money." And Jiuniang is so young, she can understand this truth, and she is so motivated. As adults, don’t we still understand it?”

Zhang Xiaoshan finally sobered up a bit: "You want to repair the pigsty?"

"En." Xu was a little worried: "How can I tell my mother?"

"Just say that I saw someone raising pigs to make money." Although Zhang Xiaoshan is usually taciturn, but if something really happens, he won't pretend to be stupid: "Mother won't ask too much. If you ask, just say that I heard it in the county government. Exactly."

He rarely talked a little more: "It's just the two of us, with four children in the family. It's a bit difficult. If you don't want to find a way to make more money, life will be difficult in the future. It's because of your hard work."

Zhang Xiaoshan really loves his daughter-in-law, and he feels a little guilty: "These days, it's Little Pumpkin and helping Jiuniang, and there is so much work at home-killing a chicken later, you make up for it. Fish at night You are not even willing to eat a few bites."

When Xu heard that her husband cared about her, she felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't feel tired at all: "When this happened to my family, there was nothing I could do. I can't really leave Jiu Niang and Little Pumpkin alone. As for being tired, I think Jiu Niang is even harder than me. I understand what she's thinking, but I don't like it in my heart. How old is she!"

"It's good to be sensible." Zhang Xiaoshan's words were simple, but not harsh: "If you suffer now, you will enjoy happiness in the future."

People of the older generation, don’t they all say that it’s bitter before sweet?

Zhang Xiaoshan also has selfish intentions: "Besides, Jiuniang is sensible, so you don't have to worry about it. You won't be so tired."

Anyway, at the age of eight or nine, I can do a lot of work.

Xu sighed: "It's because I'm sensible that I feel distressed."

A child who is not sensible, it is because someone is used to it.But which sensible and precocious child is not because no one is used to him?
Zhang Xiaoshan was also silent.

He wiped his forehead and sighed for a long time: "Even if there is still one brother or sister-in-law, it will be fine."

Xu was also silent.

Finally, she lay down and said: "Repair the pigsty! The money you earn, plus the money earned by Jiu Niang, will be repaired when you are done! It just happens that the repairs are finished, and the millet will be harvested. By the way, the courtyard dam will also be leveled." .Let’s also renovate and mend a few houses, and now it’s leaking a little bit.”

Speaking of working, Zhang Xiaoshan was not afraid at all, and immediately relaxed.

He lay down and said, "Okay, then I will ask Ergou to help me for two days. Just take care of the food. It will be done in a few days. He will go back to work, and I will go to help."

The couple closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, everyone got up early again.

Especially Zhang Sijiu, she got up before Mrs. Xu got up.

When Mrs. Xu got up, she had finished making the drink and was ready to cook porridge.

However, Mrs. Xu said: "I don't eat porridge today. I left fish soup last night. Let me cook fish soup noodles today."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu took out the pottery basin, scooped out two large bowls of flour from the noodle pocket, and prepared to knead the noodles.

These days, due to technical issues in flour milling, the flour does not appear to be pure white, but rather a little gray, looking a bit dull, and the degree of fineness is not that high.

Therefore, the flour is called gray flour here.

Who wants to use gray flour, just use wheat to exchange it with the mill.

Mrs. Xu kneaded the dough, while Zhang Sijiu lit a fire and watched.

I have to say that kneading dough is really a process of decompression.

Add water little by little to knead the flour into a firm dough.

Then Xu asked Zhang Sijiu to light the fire, while she herself stood by the stove, holding the noodles in one hand, and quickly grabbed a small piece of noodles with the other, grasped it in the palm of her hand, and then directly turned it into a Long, a bit like small loach gnocchi were put into the boiling water along the side of the pot.

Those gnocchi went down into the pot one by one, and slowly floated up after they were cooked.

After the dough was finished, Mrs. Xu poured the remaining fish soup from yesterday into the pot, and waited for the fish soup and hot water to mix.

Fearing that the taste would not be enough, she also fished out two slices of sour greens, chopped them finely, and put them into the pot together.

In the end, Zhang Sijiu was asked to go out to the gate and pick a handful of Huoxiang leaves - this thing is often used recently.Almost every household has planted it at the door.Some even take a broken pot and plant it next to the kitchen at home, so that it can be used at any time.

After pinching some young Huoxiang leaves, Zhang Sijiu scooped up a ladle of water and washed it before handing it to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu rolled the Huoxiang leaves and began to cut them very thinly, almost only a few tenths of a centimeter in size.

When the gnocchi soup in the pot was ready, she sprinkled the patchouli leaves into the pot.

In an instant, that ordinary pot of fish-flavored gnocchi soup has a soul.

Zhang Sijiu sniffed, and couldn't help admiring: "It smells so good, Second Aunt really knows how to cook!"

When there is no oil and no frying, it is really amazing to be able to make such a delicious meal!

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed by the praise, but on the surface she smiled and gave Zhang Sijiu a white look: "What's so strange about this? Have you eaten less since childhood?"

　Sorry, I was poisoned late at night again.Well, let’s eat and drink together and spend the night happily~ hehehe
