Spatial Farming: Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Too Much

Chapter 84 Braised Fish

After everything was ready, Gu Rao and Bie Ye went out wearing bamboo hats, carrying a fishing rod, bait, and two small benches.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw that the foreign man who had been following them just now hadn't left.

Gu Rao, "..."

Is this too persistent?

It's a pity that the language barrier makes it impossible to communicate at all, otherwise you can tell him that he really has the wrong person.

To the river.

Gu Rao and Bie Ye set up the bench and set up the fishing rods, and then sat together and waited for the fish to take the bait.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Gu Rao said with an experienced look, "Patience is the most important thing in fishing. Don't worry if you can't catch it now. The fish will take the bait sooner or later. During the fishing process, it is best not to make any noise. The hearing of fish is very sensitive. , once you hear the sound, you won’t take the bait.”

Bie Ye was taught, "I see."

So in the following, the couple seldom spoke out.

Gu Rao felt the fishing rod move a few times, and immediately pulled back the rod, only to find that the bait had been eaten, but the fish was not caught at all!
Bieye had the same situation as her at the beginning, either closing the rod too early or too late, causing the hooked fish to break free from the hook.

After a few times, gradually master the technique.

Finally, he caught a grass carp about three catties.

Gu Rao couldn't believe it.

"Didn't you say you can't fish? How did you catch fish so quickly?"

I thought she was going to show off her skills today, but I didn't expect that the first fish today fell from a person who can't fish. Isn't this a slap in the face?

I knew I would stop talking.

Bie Ye said, "I really didn't know how to fish before, I only knew how to spear fish. Today is the first time I fish. It should be because this fish is relatively stupid."

Why can't Gu Rao hear that he is comforting herself?
"Let's compare who catches more fish. One hour is the standard. After one hour, whoever catches more fish will be the one who will cook for the next three days."

She decided that she must be the one who caught more. After all, she was a seasoned fisherman. How could it be possible for Bie Ye to catch more fish than herself for the first time?
The reason why the rules are set so that those who catch more fish cook instead of those who fish less is because she knows that if the rules are changed, Bie Ye will definitely admit defeat directly.

He likes to give her everything, but she doesn't want him to suffer.

Bie Ye replied, "Okay." Then he put the earthworms cut into small pieces on the hook, and threw the rod again. After a while, the fishing rod moved again.

Gu Rao couldn't help turning her head to look to the side.

Bieye quickly closed his rod, and as expected, another fish took the bait, this time it was a white fish about two taels in size.

Gu Rao, "..."

If you catch grass carp for the first time, you can still say that you are lucky, then you can see the skills of Bieye fishing when you catch white striped carp this time.

White striped fish are timid by nature and are particularly sensitive to the danger perception of the outside world. Once they find danger, they will leave quickly and rarely come back to continue eating.

But if Bieye's closing speed was faster or slower, the white striped fish would have already run away.

He looked at his still fishing rod again, and felt a little anxious in his heart. As a seasoned fisherman, he wouldn't really lose to a novice from Bieye, right?

She can't afford to lose this person.

For the next hour, the couple felt that there was little communication and went fishing quietly.

After about a cup of tea, Gu Rao finally caught the first fish of the day, a crucian carp the size of a palm and only about one or two taels.

An hour later, the couple decided the winner.

Gu Rao looked at the full fish basket, but felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She used to think that every time she caught less fish, it was because the fish pond owner put less fish in the fish pond.

But the experience of fishing with Bie Ye this time made her have to admit that it was really not a matter of more fish and fewer fish, but her fishing skills were really bad!
"How many fish did you catch?"

Bie Ye said, "There are no counts."

Gu Rao glared at him.

"Aren't we in a competition? You don't count, how can we decide whether to win or lose? Did you not think I could win from the beginning?"

Bie Ye was still happy for winning the game, but after listening to his wife's words, he realized later that he was only concerned about winning or losing just now, and he didn't take his wife's face into consideration.

"Although I didn't count how many fish I caught, I remember you caught eight."

Gu Rao, "..."

"Are you mocking me?"

She knew how many fish she had caught, and knew that the number reported by Bieye was correct, and she really only caught eight fish in an hour.

The other four are all small crucian carp!
Bie Ye explained, "Why would I mock you? I just wanted to tell you that I didn't care about this competition, nor did I think you couldn't win from the beginning."

Gu Rao said, "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. If I lose to you in this competition, then, for the next three days, I will leave the cooking to you alone."

Originally, I wanted to let him relax a bit, but who made her really inferior to others?

She really tried her best.

Bie Ye smiled and said, "Okay."

Gu Rao was a little worried.

"Can you cook fish?"

Bie Ye was silent for a moment.

"I can grill fish."

Gu Rao said, "Today is almost over, it can't be counted as a day, let's start counting the days from tomorrow, I will cook today's meals."

Bie Ye said, "I will study hard."
-
On the way back, Gu Rao always felt that something was missing, and it took him a while to remember that the strange man who had been following behind had left at some point.

Probably left while they were fishing.

Gu Rao put this discovery behind her.

It's better to leave, follow them all the time, I really don't know how to deal with it, if she didn't realize that the person had no malicious intentions, she would have driven him away long ago.

When passing by the vegetable market, Gu Rao bought some vegetables, and met the boy who was about eleven or twelve years old who was selling river prawns.

The boy recognized Gu Rao immediately.

"Sister, do you want to buy river prawns?"

"There is only the last two taels of river prawns left. I will go back after selling them. Usually, river prawns are sold for eight cents a catty. This time I want to go home early, so I will treat this two taels as a catty." Sell ​​it, take all the eight coins!"

Gu Rao stopped in her tracks, feeling sweet when she was called by her sister.

Who doesn't like being called sister?
Although she is already married, she still prefers to be called elder sister than aunt, aunt, and young lady.

"Then buy them all."

The boy happily accepted the money, and wrapped all the remaining river prawns in large lotus leaves and handed them over.

Gu Rao was about to reach out her hand, but Bie Ye took it one step ahead of her.

"I'll get it."
-
After arriving home, Gu Rao poured the fish in the fish basket into the basin filled with water. It took two basins to fill it up, and then caught some white fish and a carp about a catty.

After Bie Ye had killed the fish, he began to steam rice in the side pot and stir-fry vegetables in the middle pot. The dishes to be cooked today were a braised white fish in braised sauce, a boiled fish, and a scrambled egg with green peppers.

After the white fish is killed, put a layer of salt on the inside and outside and marinate for half an hour. Cut the red pepper into small pieces, crush the garlic with the back of a knife, and cut the shallot into large pieces for later use.

Wrap all the white striped fish in flour, pour oil into the pan, heat it to [-]% heat, add the white striped fish, fry until golden on both sides, add light soy sauce and red pepper and stir well.

Add a bowl of water, pour cooking wine, dark soy sauce, green onion, minced garlic, salt, and chicken essence, cover the pot and simmer for a while, open the pot and remove the green onion, sprinkle with coriander and a little chopped green onion, and put it on a plate.

……

In less than half an hour, the meal was ready, and at this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
