Yang Wu shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay. What can happen to us here? It's still the same, eh? Why did you drive two cars back?"

As he asked, he was thinking that there was only one carriage in Yang Ping'an's house, and there were two carriages coming back this time. It was probably because there were too many things, so he also brought back the carriage belonging to his mother-in-law's house.

Just as she was thinking about this, Qingyan, Mrs. Hu and her two children also got out of the car. Yang Pingan introduced directly: "Brother Five, these are some friends we met on the road. They happened to be passing by us. I invited you to come over and be a guest here.

These are two brothers and two Miss Xue. This is my fifth brother, a cousin of my great-grandfather. "

"Brother Yang Wu, nice to meet you." This is Chou Chou.

"Brother Yang Wu, nice to meet you." This is gold.

"Hello, Brother Yang Wu." Qingyan and Qingzhu said in unison.

Qingyan and the others stepped forward and greeted Yang Wu with a smile.

"Hello, hello. I'm going to come to my house tomorrow. I happened to catch fish today. My mother-in-law is the best at cooking fish. You all come over and try it."

Qingyan and others were not embarrassed to agree, but looked at Yang Ping'an, wondering if the other party was being polite.

Yang Ping'an responded directly: "The relationship is good. I'm worried that I won't be able to entertain them well tomorrow just after I got back. We caught pheasants and picked mushrooms on the road. It's just the right time to add some vegetables tomorrow. Let's get together too. It's just hard work. Fifth sister-in-law.”

Then he said to Qingyan: "Fifth sister-in-law is a master of cooking and is famous throughout Huanshan Town. Her family's craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation, so we are very lucky."

Mrs. Hu also said, "I'll clean up the house early tomorrow morning, and when I'm done, I'll take Qiao'er over to help. I'll make sure the fifth sister-in-law doesn't have to work too hard."

Qingyan also said: "My sister and I will go too. If we are not good at cooking, we can still help."

Yang Wu did not refuse, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, come all, come, let's have a good gathering, and give a few people a break.

You are tired from walking all the way. Go in and clean up and have a rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow. "

"Okay, let's go in then. Fifth Brother, please go back to the house. It's windy outside, so be careful to catch a cold..."

The two parties talked for a few more words and then went back to the yard. The yard was clean, with no weeds or anything growing, and it didn't look like it had been taken care of for months.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Hu say: "Before we went out, we entrusted the yard to Fifth Brother and the others. Fifth Brother is very clean and keeps the house in order. He must come here to clean the yard every three to five, which is much better than when we are at home." It’s still tidy.”

They usually leave a key to the fifth brother. Usually when everyone in the family goes out, those who don't have the key will go next door to get the key to open the door.

Yang Wu's family lives with his mother. The old lady is usually at home and rarely goes out. There are basically people at home.

They carried lanterns into the house and lit the oil lamps.

There's a lot of dust on the table in the house, so it's definitely not easy for people to come in. It would be nice to tidy up the yard.

Fortunately, there isn't much furniture in the Yang family's house, it's all necessary and easier to clean up.

I fetched a bucket of water from the well in the yard and wiped the bed boards with emphasis. After wiping the tables, chairs, benches and bed boards, they were also dry, so I just put the bedding on them.

There is strength in numbers, and they were all wiped clean in a short time.

While they were cleaning up, Mrs. Hu took Qiaoer to the kitchen to boil a few buckets of hot water. It would definitely not be enough to take a bath, so a simple wash would be fine.

After cleaning up and washing their faces, hands and feet, everyone went to bed. Even Qingyan and the others did not enter the room, so they fell asleep directly in the room when they were tired.

Especially Qingyan, she didn't sleep in the car that day. She didn't have the energy to use her spiritual sense to explore around at night, and she didn't ask how Chou Chou was doing there. She fell asleep almost immediately as soon as she touched the pillow.

The next morning, I was woken up by the crow of the big rooster next door. I smelled the aroma of rice as soon as I woke up. It was very strong and much more fragrant than rice eaten elsewhere. It was a bit like the rice that was added with flavors in later generations. of.

Obviously there should be no fragrance at this time, so it should be a pure rice fragrance.

Qingyan and the others almost all came out smelling the fragrance of rice, and they dressed and washed much faster than usual.

When I arrived in the main room, I found a large clay pot on the table, with white steam rising from the mouth of the pot.

Qingyan and the others couldn't help but take a deep breath, it smelled so good! The fragrance wafts out from there.

"Auntie, you got up early in the morning to make porridge. You were tired all the way yesterday. Why don't you sleep more today? It'll be fine if you get up later."

Mrs. Hu smiled and shook her head, "I didn't cook this porridge. I just woke up not long ago. It was delivered by the fifth sister-in-law. The third aunt felt that she got up earlier, and the fifth sister-in-law got up early every day to make breakfast. .

I heard from Fifth Brother that we came back yesterday, and I thought I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, and there probably wouldn't be any rice or noodles at home, so I stayed up a little longer and brought them over.

This is our fragrant glutinous rice. It is especially fragrant when cooked as porridge. Drink it while it’s hot. After you finish it, let Qiaoer take you to take a look outside. There isn’t much to clean up at home. Ping An and I will soon As soon as we can pack it up, we can just go to Fifth Brother's house when we come back soon. "

Qingyan nodded. They had almost tidied up the house yesterday. Today they just had to tidy up the kitchen and sort the things they brought back. It really didn't require so many people to do the work.

Qingyan thought that when they went to someone else's house for dinner later, they couldn't go empty-handed. It was their first time visiting someone's house, so they had to bring some gifts.

Pheasants and mushrooms definitely don't count, just add another dish. There are so many of them, they can't all go and eat and drink for free. They don't look rich either.

After discussing it with Chou Chou and the others, they decided to just take a jar of red rice wine, a box of snacks, and fruits that they had bought on the road. They had not bought any on the road. They had been with Yang Pingan and the others these days, so it was not easy to take them out. suitable.

If there are children at home, you can also give them a small wooden toy or something. This kind of small object can be taken out at any time, and you can just take it out when the time comes.

After finishing breakfast, Qingyan took it out in advance, told Mrs. Hu, put it on the table, and carried it when she passed by. Mr. Hu also thinks that these two things are very good. They are not very expensive and are thoughtful, so they are suitable for other people's homes.

She also picked up two boxes of specialties brought from her parents' home and took them with her later. She also wanted to thank her for showing her home for several months.

After that, Qingyan and the others followed Yang Qiaoer and Yang Zhenxing out of the house and headed out of the town.

Knowing that Qingyan and her party didn't like to visit shops, the shops in their town were not as comprehensive as those sold in other towns outside, not to mention that they passed through many counties, so they went directly to Qiqu River.

The river is not far to the north. It is best to go there in the morning, when the scenery is the most beautiful.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a stone beach. A few dozen meters ahead was a river. The river was winding, and there was a stone bridge in the middle. The bridge was now shrouded in clouds and mist, and the water surface was sparkling. , like a fairyland.

Qingyan winked at Chou Chou, and Chou Chou understood it and pulled Huang Jin together to block her in front of her.

Qingyan took the opportunity to take out her camera from the space, hid behind the two of them and clicked the shutter, freezing the scene from different angles on the film.

Fortunately, this camera is the latest model developed by their own research institute. The shutter sound is very quiet, there are no unnecessary sound effects, and the pixels and other features are very good.

He quickly took a dozen photos of Zhang Qingyan before he stopped, put the camera in his sleeve, and followed the brother and sister Yang Qiaoer forward, preparing to find a good angle before taking pictures.

After that, they walked onto the mist-shrouded stone bridge. From a distance, they watched the bridge and the shadows reflected in the water complement each other. The bridge seemed to be floating on the water.

When I walked up, I realized that although the river was wide, the water was really not deep. It was probably only a little more than one meter. The water was crystal clear, and the aquatic plants and pebbles at the bottom were clearly visible. Even the base under the stone bridge could be seen clearly. Clearly.

Therefore, even if this stone bridge is quite narrow and can only accommodate one person, it will not make people feel scared. After all, the water is not deep, and even if it falls, it will only wet the clothes at most, and there will be no danger to life.

Moreover, there are many fish in the river, both large and small. There are very many fish of one kind, averaging about one or two kilograms. They swim by in groups and are not afraid of people. They swim slowly in the water. Even if they walked by, the fish would not run away.

But if you think this fish is stupid and easy to catch, you are wrong. Qingyan has personally verified that it is impossible to catch it.

After she reached down, the fish didn't escape and swam curiously around her hand, touching the back of her hand with her mouth from time to time. As a result, when Qingyan opened her hand to catch it, the fish It slipped away in a swish, like an afterimage, faster than she could imagine.

I can't blame him for daring to swim around so leisurely. It turns out that he has the ability to escape, so he is confident.

Of course, it’s not true that you can’t catch it. It’s definitely difficult to catch it with your hands, but if you use a net or a fishing rod to fish, it won’t be difficult. After all, no matter how smart and sophisticated the fish is, it will never catch it when it sees food. It's still easy to fall into trap.

Then as long as the net is cast, it is easy to get caught in the net and cannot escape.

Seeing her movements, Yang Qiaoer stopped and said, "The fish that Uncle Wu said yesterday was caught here. There are a lot of fish in the river here, but it's not easy to catch them. You have to use a net." , which is difficult to catch with bare hands.

Especially the kind that Sister Qingyan has on hand. This fish is unique to us. There is only one fish bone in the middle, which is edible like a brittle bone.

Whether steamed or stewed, the fish meat is tender and white, not rotten at all, and extremely delicious.

It is said that they have not been seen anywhere else, at least none of the fish we saw on the way to my grandfather’s house were like this.

Our mayor has also thought about taking this fish outside and selling it as a specialty of our mountainous town. If it is not available elsewhere, it can be sold at a high price.

As a result, as soon as the fish is taken outside, it will die after leaving the mountain. After the fish dies, it will smell very fast. Let alone selling it, it will not be able to eat it.

And unlike other fish that can be made into dried fish, or can be kept for a period of time after being pickled, this fish also smells very bad after being pickled, so it can only be killed and eaten now, so the mayor gave up the idea of ​​exporting it to other places. The idea of ​​selling.

People in the town eat it by themselves, or use the fish to entertain guests when outsiders come over. However, we don’t have many foreign guests here, so most of them are eaten by ourselves.

Strangely enough, as long as this fish does not come out of here, even if it is kept in a water tank at home, it will not die and is easy to feed.

But as soon as we leave this town, or to be precise, we leave this depression and enter the mountains and forests, even if we use buckets to fill the water from the river, the fish will die quickly, and we don’t know why.

Anyway, people in the town said that this fish can only live here and cannot leave its homeland, so they named it Liuxiang Fish, which means that they can only stay in their hometown and cannot leave.

There used to be another nickname called "Li Xiang Die". This name was not very auspicious and unpleasant, so it was rarely used by people later. "

After Qingyan heard what Yang Qiaoer said about the special features of this fish, she looked at each other and subconsciously started thinking about fantasy.

They all put their hands into the water. At this time, a group of fish happened to come over. They did not move, and just let the fish circle around their hands, touching them with their mouths from time to time. They also took the opportunity to look at these fish. carefulness.

This fish looks a bit like grass carp, its body is wider than grass carp, and its head is bigger than grass carp.

And there are no scales on the body, just a pattern like scales, which is felt when the fish body touches the hand.

When the tail is wagging, you can see some spots hidden on it. Under the sunlight, it glows with some light golden light.

They really couldn't tell what kind of fish it was. They had never seen it before. Qingyan thought maybe they had seen it but just didn't notice it.

At this time, she heard Chou Chou transmitting to her: "This fish may have come from the underground river. I just used my spiritual sense to detect it. This river flows from an underground cave over there." , which leads to an underground river.

Then it passes through this town and flows to the underground cave of another mountain on the opposite side, and then gathers into the underground river again, forming a cycle. "

Qingyan nodded. In this way, this fish does have the characteristics of the fish in the underground river. Generally, the fish that grow in the underground river seem to be more delicious, and because they stay underground for a long time, they rarely grow. The scales and meat are also tender and white.

However, the fish stinks as soon as it leaves here, and it cannot be pickled or smoked. It can only be eaten freshly, which is a bit strange. It seems that there is some kind of metaphysics in it.

If you have a chance later, you can go to the underground river and have a look. Maybe there might be some secrets there.
