hunting in 1986

Chapter 86 85 Stewed Fish, Rain, Books
In the city, in the small yard behind the restaurant.

Wang Yuan and Uncle Wei Guo were eating, Li Shen finished his work and came in with a bottle of wine.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating and chatting, after a while Li Shen took out a paper map of Lindu, pointed to the seven little red circles on it and said:
"I plan to open 6 more restaurants, counting the current one, there are 7 restaurants, and the locations are selected from the above locations..."

"Okay, that's great, we have one in our county too?"

Wang Yuan looked at the map and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and Li Shen was the major shareholder, so he would not refute if he could not refute the other party.

"Yeah, with seven restaurants, we can make more money! Haha~ when the time comes, we will eat delicious and spicy food!"

"Go ahead and do it. I believe you. By the way, you and I mentioned the bald second thing last time. Has he continued to cause trouble?"

"I found it once. I had a fight with him. It should stop for a while recently. Don't worry, I will send someone to find you if something happens."

Wang Yuan nodded without saying anything, and then continued to eat.

The bullock cart was very slow and took a lot of time on the way back, so Wang Yuan and Liu Weiguo left without staying any longer after the meal.

……

The bullock cart wobbled all the way home, and Wang Yuan gave 412.4 yuan to Li Yan, who was very happy.

"Why did it sell for so much money? I thought it would be nice to have 200 yuan or so."

"What are you thinking about? There are more than 500 catties of eggs in total." Wang Yuan washed his face directly. The dirt road in the countryside was very dusty, and his face was dirty.

"If you make money, let's have some good wine and good food to eat all night."

"What do you want to eat, I will make it for you."

"Let's stew a mandarin fish, put more oil and pepper." Wang Yuan teased the little dog, and teasing the dog more is also to cultivate a relationship with the dog.

"Wang Wang~"

The three little dogs eat well, play well, and have gradually learned some simple instructions. After a while, they will grow up to be very good hunting dogs.

And it is a hound that only Wang Yuan can fully command, recognize people.

"Well, then I'll go kill the fish."

Li Yan didn't really want to stew fish at first, because the oil consumed by stewing fish once was enough for ten days and half a month, but her husband wanted to eat it, so she did it.

There are mandarin fishes in the big water tank on the east side of the yard, which were caught before and put in it. You can eat them whenever you want.

The young couple was busy together, killing fish, gutting, cleaning, changing the water and washing, chopping fish, lighting fire and so on.

The red light of the setting sun sprinkled on the eaves, the water tank, the dog's back, and the smiling faces of the two.

There is no pressure, the young couple is busy with dinner and enjoys a relaxed, beautiful and leisurely time.

prickly prickly~
Soon after, the fish in the pot smelled fragrant, and the three greedy little dogs were drooling, and their tails were wagging more and more cheerfully.

In addition to oil, there are onions, ginger, garlic, thick sauce, wine, pepper, monosodium glutamate, coriander, etc. The mixed aroma wafts out of the small courtyard. Wang Meng, who just came back from work in the forest farm, couldn't help but shouted:
"Brother Yuan, why do you cook something delicious? I can smell the aroma!!"

"Stewed fish, let's eat fish together."

"I'm not going, Xiaoqian has already prepared a meal."

Wang Meng smiled and pushed his bicycle back to his own home. He is now an official worker of the forest farm and goes to work on time every day, so he occasionally meets Wang Yuan in the morning and evening.

The third uncle also wanted to send Wang Hu to work in the forest farm, but unfortunately there was no way to send him in.

……

A big mandarin fish weighed more than 6 catties. Wang Yuan and Li Yan couldn't finish it, so they finally gave Wang Meng and his wife some of it.

Wang Meng's wife is called Zhang Qian. She has a beautiful mouth and a powerful mouth, but the food she cooks is hard to describe. She enthusiastically let Wang Yuan and Li Yan try her meat buns.

Hmm, it seems that it is not steamed.

After staying at Wang Meng's house for too long, Wang Yuan and his wife went back to their own house, arranged food on the kang table and started eating.

A sip of delicious mandarin fish meat and a sip of wine make me happy like a fairy.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Taste it, Yanzi, the fish we stewed is not bad, it tastes just right."

"It's delicious, and the salt is just not as much salt as last time."

Li Yan brushed the hair around her ear with her little finger, then she held a steamed bun with white noodles in her left hand, and ate fish with chopsticks in her right hand.

After picking up the fish, she habitually put the fish on the steamed bun for a while, and then put the fish in her mouth.

The soy sauce-colored soup with a little bit of fish soaks the white noodle mantou.

She smiled and said, "Mandarin fish is better. It has fewer thorns, and the meat is thick and fragrant."

"Well, from now on, we will eat mandarin fish stew every day."

"Huh? How much gas will it cost? What a prodigal."

"We can earn a lot of money by raising chickens. Let alone stewed fish, we can afford to drink oil directly."

"Pfft~ Anyway, save a little bit, you're right."

The two were chatting while eating, and the cold wind was blowing outside the window, blowing the sticks and sticks, and the wooden sticks were rolling around.

Sudden.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, crackling~ the dust fell, the ants were panicked, and the smashed windows burst into noise.

"It's bad, it's raining, hurry up and go to the yard."

"Is there anything afraid of the rain?"

Li Yan got off the kang and ran outside, and Wang Yuan also got off the kang, and when he came outside, he saw dark clouds rolling in, layer upon layer, which was very spectacular.

The shovels, rakes, baskets, and small stools that were leaning against the wall were all taken away, and either put into the utility room or into the back room.

"Wang Wang~"

The three little local dogs are very lively and always running excitedly beside them. Li Yan walked so fast that she almost stepped on them:
"Gaha, you three little things running around? Stepping on your paws and howling again."

"Xiao Yuan, towels! There are still towels on the clothesline."

"I see."

Wang Yuan pulled off the towel, and then the two hurried back to the house. The wind blew the rain straight into the house, patter~ Wang Yuan quickly closed the door.

In an instant, the wind and rain were blocked outside.

"Oh, it's raining so hard."

"Yeah, it's almost summer and the rain may be even harder."

The two brushed their hair, and Li Yan changed a piece of clothing before continuing to eat.

After the meal, Wang Yuan fed the white flour steamed buns and large pieces of fish to the three dogs, and they ate happily.

Young hounds must have sufficient nutrition. If the nutrition cannot keep up, it may affect their development, and they will not be able to become powerful hounds in the end.

At first Li Yan thought it was a waste of time to give dogs such good food, but Wang Yuan finally persuaded her.

The two of them hugged each other and sat on top of each other, leaning on the quilt, and turned on the TV to watch The Dream of Red Mansions. Li Yan occasionally asked him: "Does Jia Baoyu like Lin Daiyu, or Xue Baochai?"

"Maybe... I like them all. Why are you pinching me?"

"Nonsense! You can only choose one."

"Then I don't know, maybe Lin Daiyu has more." Wang Yuan got off the kang and brought a book "Dream of Red Mansions" from another room.

Last year, I went to Yanjing to buy a lot of books, magazines, and newspapers. When I was free and bored, Wang Yuan would look through them to pass the time.

"Huh? We have the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" at home." Li Yan felt very surprised, pulled the light cord to turn on the light, and quickly took the book to read it.

wow~
As the pages of the book were turned, a faint scent of ink wafted out.

"Yes, but you haven't even graduated from elementary school, can you understand?" Wang Yuan teased her with a smile. He felt that his wife sitting on the kang with her legs sideways was cute.

brush~
Li Yan's pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, she glanced at Wang Yuan, and said unwillingly: "Don't look down on people, it's just a book, no one can understand it."

She immediately opened the book and read it, but she was embarrassed after only turning a few pages.

There are many uncommon characters in it, and some descriptive words and sentence patterns are very different from ordinary vernacular, which may feel awkward at first glance.

Li Yan was hit, she bit her lip and put the book aside, just wanting to save the last bit of face: "I won't watch it, it's not as good as the TV series, and I don't even bother to look at it."

Wang Yuan knew that he had said the wrong thing instantly, and said with a smile, "Don't, it's normal for this kind of book to have a lot of uncommon words. I'll go get a dictionary and a pen."

He got up and went to another room to get a dictionary and a pen. The dictionary is made of red leather and the price is 2.8 yuan, which is quite expensive, and it is very small, even smaller than a 32-carat.

Sitting on the kang, Wang Yuan opened the book "Dream of Red Mansions", then opened the dictionary to look up the rare words, and marked them in pinyin. Li Yan quickly came over curiously.

In fact, Li Yan still wants to read very much in her heart. She feels that she is very good at studying, and she also wants to become a good person, but she dropped out of school early due to various reasons when she was young.

Wang Yuan also encouraged her to read more books.

Li Yan kept reading until it was past eleven o'clock at night, and then she suddenly came back to her senses: "It's broken! The electric meter still can't turn on after turning on the light for such a long time? Let's go to bed quickly."

Wang Yuan yawned: "Okay, let's read the book tomorrow."
