Chapter 96 Fish and Shrimp Steamed Baba
Sun Miaolan gave him a strange look, "What do you buy? I know how to spend money recklessly. It's not easy for you to run a business outside. Save more and buy a beep machine."

Jiang Ancheng had a plan in mind, and he didn't refute her: "Got it."

Sun Miaolan said happily: "Then I'll get you some rice noodles. If you want to rest, eat it before going to rest."

Jiang Ancheng looked at the dark red rose on the back, "I'll go to the field and plant the rose first."

Only then did Sun Miaolan notice the rose in the back sash, and asked doubtfully, "Where did you get it?"

"I bought it from someone. It is a rose imported from Guangcheng. The flower buds are very big, the color is very beautiful, and the flower stem is also thick. It is most suitable for fresh-cut flowers."

Sun Miaolan said with a smile: "You have to plant this and that, and you plan to collect a few thousand catties of lily bulbs. Our family doesn't have so much land to plant. It's hard to grow no food at all."

Jiang Ancheng smiled meaningfully, "If we can make money, we still need to grow our own food. Some people grow it for us, so we can buy as much as we want." Suddenly he remembered and asked, "Is the village chief at home today?"

Sun Miaolan shook her head, "I went into the mountain with Yufei."

"Oh alright."

It was no longer possible to plant flowers in his own backyard, so Jiang Ancheng picked up the sling and went to the field beside their small river ditch.

Just after digging a hole, Old Uncle Li walked over slowly, saw Jiang Ancheng planting flowers, leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Ancheng, Shengli told me that you want to rent the hillside of our village to plant flowers, and this is what you planted." ?”

Jiang Ancheng raised his head and smiled: "Yes."

Old Uncle Li stared at the dark red rose for a few moments, and said doubtfully, "This is similar to the rose in our village."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Well, almost, there are still some differences. This kind of flower stem is harder, the petals are thicker, the flowering period is longer, and it is more valuable."

Old Uncle Li couldn't help asking: "Then, is this kind of flower grown for viewing or for eating? Can we sell it for money if we plant it together?"

Village cadres in several villages led the villagers to grow tea and fruit trees together, and were commended by the leaders.

Old Uncle Li also wanted his son to be honored. Li Shengli told him about it yesterday. As soon as Jiang Ancheng came back, he couldn't bear to look for him.

The fruit of gardenia can be used as medicine. Gardenia also has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and laxative.

Picking off the bitter stamens can not only be fried and eaten as a plate of vegetables, but also extract pure dew like jasmine roses to relieve skin discomfort and replenish moisture. It is a natural skin purifier.

Everyone plants flowers at the door of the house. In addition to decorating the courtyard wall, the main purpose is to eat.

If it weren't for Jiang Ancheng's sudden purchase of flowers, no one would have thought that besides eating, flowers could be sold in another form.

In his previous life, Li Shengli took good care of his family. As early as when the first batch of subsidies for poor households had quotas, Li Shengli applied for him.

Li Shengli has always been committed to increasing the income of the villagers. After digging matsutake and truffles became the main source of income for the villagers, he slowly got promoted.

Returning to his life, Jiang Ancheng also wants to repay one or two in his own way.

Jiang Ancheng said frankly: "Looking at planting and giving them away for appreciation, there is a huge market demand for flowers in the city, and there are special flower markets in the big cities along the coast, but in the entire Yuncheng, no one has planted flowers on a large scale. profitable."

Old Uncle Li's eyes lit up, and he smiled again and again: "Okay, okay, that's great, An Cheng, you are really promising, and when you come back from victory, you can have a good talk. Uncle will also plant flowers with you and learn from you." , learn from you."

Jiang Ancheng dug flowers for Sun Miaolan on the mountain, and was laughed at by the villagers several times, openly and secretly. An old man, who spends all day doing flowers and plants, can coax his wife.

Who would have thought that Jiang Ancheng is a smart person with precision and planning, and he has long seen the potential value of planting flowers.

Five roses were planted, and Jiang Ancheng cut some branches with scissors.

Uncle Li asked, "You want to grow seedlings?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, and Old Uncle Li patted his thigh suddenly, "The hillside is so big, can you get so many seedlings under contract?"

Jiang Ancheng said: "If you want to buy it, you can definitely buy it. If uncle is sure that you want to plant flowers, I will take a plane to Guangcheng to have a look, and bring back some more flowers."

Guangcheng is now the flower business center of the entire Huaguo. Many common carnations, gerbera, platycodon, baby's breath, tulip, peonies and other varieties have been imported and planted in large quantities from abroad.

When Old Uncle Li heard that he was going to fly and get it from Guangcheng, he was worried that the cost would be too high, so he said cautiously: "The roses in our village are actually quite good."

Jiang Ancheng shook his head with a smile, "Without good seedlings, you can't grow good flowers. Just like growing grain, only good grain can afford high prices. You have to buy what you should buy."

Old Uncle Li nodded, "You're right." He sighed and said, "If the cost is high, I guess few people in the village would dare to grow it."

Moreover, planting flowers means no harvest for a year. People in the mountains don't have much land, so how can they spend money to go in and mess around like this.

Even when Old Uncle Li himself heard that he was going to Guangcheng to buy flower seedlings, he backed down a little.

After thinking for a while, Old Uncle Li said again: "Can't we grow our own local flowers? You can sell lilies."

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "I plan to plant more lilies, but our lilies are all wild, and there are only a few good-looking lilies, which are not enough to cultivate. There are many mature fresh-cut varieties in Guangcheng, which are more popular in the market. We buy It doesn’t cost much if some bulbs come back and grow slowly.”

Jiang Ancheng spoke clearly and logically. Uncle Li felt that he was quite professional, and he couldn't say that he only planted local lilies.

"Okay, you can talk about it in detail when you come back from Victory. Uncle is getting old and I can't even understand it hahaha."

"It's okay, I'll find out later."

"Puff-"

Jiang Ancheng and Uncle Li looked at the river ditch together. A group of crucian carp seemed to be floating in the air, swimming arrogantly and wagging their tails, constantly splashing huge waves.

Old Uncle Li rolled up his trousers and said, "Let's go, get some fish."

The fish delivered to the door is not free.

Cooking crucian carp soup just gives Sun Miaolan more nourishment and nourishment, so Erbao and him are blessed to enjoy it.

Jiang Ancheng also rolled up his trousers, and picked up a previously used pole from the nearby bamboo forest, "Let's go."

Old Uncle Li and Jiang Ancheng walked into the calf-deep water, and the fish were frightened and swam around. Jiang Ancheng and Old Uncle Li blocked the other water outlets with experience, put the back strap on the only water outlet, and pressed it in. Put a big rock on it and make it sink.

Old Uncle Li went to the front, and the school of fish ran towards Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Ancheng chased them away with a bamboo pole, and the crucian carp threw itself into the net without thinking.

In a short while, with the perfect cooperation of Jiang Ancheng and Old Uncle Li, they got a dozen crucian carp.

Each one is as long as the palm of your hand and is quite fat.

Jiang Ancheng divided it into two pieces, strung them up with grass leaves and handed them to Old Uncle Li.

Old Uncle Li waved his hand, "I want three pieces, that's enough, you take them to Yufei to entertain guests."

The mountains and rivers here are good, and they can catch them whenever they want, Jiang Ancheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go back first."

As soon as he turned around, he saw Sun Miaolan approaching him, standing on the hillside and calling him, "I served you rice noodles, why are you running to catch fish?"

Jiang Ancheng ran up, shook the fish in his hand, and showed off vigorously: "Look!"

Sun Miaolan took it, and seeing his wet appearance, she patted the mud on his sleeve with a coquettish smile: "I'm a father now, and I like fishing just like a child."

Jiang Ancheng looked proudly at Old Uncle Li who hadn't gone far, "Old Uncle Li is now a grandfather, and he also likes fishing."

"Besides, I didn't work so hard for the rations of our second treasure."

He stared straight at a certain place, and Sun Miaolan realized it later, her face turned red, she gave him a hard look, and said angrily: "You are outside, what are you talking about, go home soon, the rice noodles will be lumpy. "

Seeing her shy and shy appearance, Jiang Ancheng's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help teasing her: "Enen, let's go home and talk about it."

Sun Miaolan gave him two slaps, "Let's go~" Jiang Ancheng held back her hand with her charming eyes, and held back her hand, "Well, let's eat rice noodles."

Jiang Ancheng finished eating the rice noodles, but Xiao Yu'er hadn't come back yet, Sun Miaolan was a little worried.

Jiang Ancheng said: "I'll go find him, look at the corn cakes in the pot."

"it is good."

Jiang Ancheng went to the canteen to find Lao Wang, only to find out that these little troublemakers went to the river beach to fish for shrimps.

The river beach is shallow, and there are aquatic plants and silt in some places, so it is easy to sink into it.

Jiang Ancheng felt the wind at his feet, and soon saw a group of little rascals sticking out their buttocks, each with a dustpan and colander in their hands, staring intently at the water surface and trying to catch shrimps.

Xiao Yu'er is the smallest, and Jiang Ancheng spotted him among the children at a glance.

He was holding the dustpan and a big apple rose in his mouth.

Seeing Jiang Ancheng approaching, his big dark eyes lit up instantly, he threw down the dustpan, and stepped on the water with his hands outstretched.

Jiang Ancheng greeted him with a bright smile, his chest was filled with happiness.

The little fish grabbed his thigh and climbed up to his waist, "Dad, look at the shrimp we caught!"

He pointed hard at the plastic bucket, and Jiang Ancheng walked over. There were about a catty of small shrimps in the bucket.

This kind of rice shrimp is deep-fried, put some dried chili and stir-fry very fragrant.

In addition to shrimp, there are finger-sized rainbow fish with big belly and scales that refract beautifully in the sun.

This kind of fish is very beautiful when raised in an aquarium, but it cannot survive without strong oxygen, and it tastes good when fried.

Since he was a child, Jiang Ancheng liked to get a few catties of shrimp and go home and add some flour and leeks to make shrimp and leek pancakes. He pinched Xiao Yuer's cheek and said with a teasing smile, "That's all."

Xiao Yu'er pursed her mouth, quite unconvinced, "Dad didn't catch any of them."

Jiang Ancheng put him down, "Just wait, Dad will teach you how to catch shrimp."

Jiang Ancheng poured the shrimps in the bucket into the taro leaves, found another flat stone slab, put the bucket into the water in an inclined arc, dunked a few snails, pulled out the meat and threw it in, and then left a gap on the stone slab to buckle it. superior.

Xiao Yu'er's eyes were bright, full of anticipation, "Is this all right?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Well, just wait a while and lift the bucket along the direction of the water flow."

Together with Jiang Ancheng, the children stood at the water's edge, staring at the shrimps swimming in with wide eyes, looking surprised and showing admiration to Jiang Ancheng frequently.

Jiang Ancheng quickly picked up the bucket, and the rice shrimp jumped straight out. Jiang Ancheng used the dustpan to hold it and poured out the water, and unexpectedly caught a quarter of the bucket of rice shrimp in a short time.

The children all exclaimed, "Wow——"

Xiao Yu'er and You raised their heads proudly, Jiang Ancheng showed this in front of his friends.

Jiang Ancheng also enjoyed the children's pursuit, and said specifically: "It will save more effort to catch it like this with a bamboo basket."

Tie Dan patted Xiao Yu'er on the shoulder, acting like two good brothers, "Your father is amazing! I want to be like your father, catch shrimps and earn money!"

The other children also said, "I want it too, I want it too!!!"

Jiang Ancheng, who became the idol of the children, said with a smile: "Okay, we've had enough fun today, everyone, go home and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

A group of childish voices sounded together, "Okay!"

Xiao Yu'er bounced all the way home, and refused to let Jiang Ancheng help him carry the package of shrimps he was given.

Walking into the courtyard, the aroma of corn cakes entered the nostrils of the father and son.

Xiao Yu'er immediately forgot Jiang Ancheng, ran into the kitchen, and asked Sun Miaolan for corn cakes.

But soon, she was rejected by Sun Miaolan's warm voice, "You look dirty like a monkey, go and wash your hands first."

Xiao Yu'er casually threw the rice shrimps under the window eaves, stood on tiptoe and scooped up two scoops of water with a gourd, swished his little hands clean, wiped his face carelessly, ran to Sun Miaolan again, and asked for corn cakes .

Sun Miaolan gently raised her eyebrows, tapped Xiao Yuer's eyebrows, "Snacks." Handed him a cold corn cake, and called to Jiang Ancheng: "Do you still eat?"

The corn glutinous rice cakes are golden and look attractive. He ate a lot of rice noodles just now, so he couldn't help but pick one up from the steamer, peel off the corn leaves, and take a bite.

It is hot, sweet and glutinous, and it also has the fragrance of corn leaves.

Jiang Ancheng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Banza!"

Sun Miaolan laughed and muttered, "I don't know if Mrs. Song and the others are used to eating."

As soon as the words fell, there were noisy footsteps outside the courtyard door.

Immediately afterwards, Mother Jiang anxiously shouted in Jiang Ancheng's ear: "Ancheng, Ancheng!!!"

Jiang Ancheng frowned, his eyes signaled Sun Miaolan not to go out.

Sun Miaolan led her son from the kitchen to the back room, and Jiang's mother, Jiang's father, Quan Hongmei led Yanzi and Qiangzi and rushed in.

Mother Jiang shouted with red eyes: "An Cheng, your brother is gone and hasn't been home for two days!"

Quan Hongmei went to town yesterday because she thought that Jiang Anshun went to town to gamble with people again.

But she asked all of Jiang Anshun's gamblers, and no one said they had seen him.

I thought he was wandering somewhere, but it costs money.

Jiang's mother was even more anxious than Quan Hongmei, remembering what Jiang Anshun had sworn before, that she would make the Jiang family honor their ancestors, her eyelids twitched.

After searching everywhere, I can only come to Jiang Ancheng to find a solution.

Jiang Ancheng frowned, thinking of the street girl Jiang Anshun raised in the town, "He must have gone somewhere to fool around, and he'll come back naturally when he's done fooling around."

Quan Hongmei pointed at Jiang Ancheng's nose and blamed him: "He is your brother, he is gone, and you are still talking sarcastic here!"

Jiang Ancheng lowered his eyes, "Then you should call the police! It's the police's business to find someone, and I'm not clairvoyant!"

Quan Hongmei choked, and said forcefully: "You don't know how to look for it!"

Jiang's mother also echoed: "Yes, An Cheng, you are doing business now, and you know a lot of people, maybe you can just ask around."

Jiang Ancheng sneered, "I've been in business for a few days, and I'm capable of reaching the sky. I still have to do business, go back and wait, he will come back when he should."

"But you started going crazy with only two bad money. Who doesn't know that you run around the city all day just to pick up on Miss!"

Quan Hongmei was talking nonsense, and Sun Miaolan was in the back room, so she must have heard it.

Jiang Ancheng thought that the two children were there, and wanted to save some face for Quan Hongmei.

She lowered her eyes suddenly, and pushed Quan Hongmei out of the door in rage, "Put your mother's shit on!"

Quan Hongmei sat down on the steps and fell on her back again. The pain was so painful that she yelled heart-piercingly, "You're just messing around, messing around!!!"

Jiang Ancheng never hit women, and he really couldn't stand this shrew. The moment she raised her hand, Sun Miaolan came out from the back room and grabbed his back shirt, "An Cheng, my stomach hurts."

Sun Miaolan said she had a stomachache, Jiang Ancheng returned rationally in an instant, and anxiously supported her, "Is the pain severe? I'll send you to the city to find a doctor right now."

Quan Hongmei jumped up and cursed: "What are you pretending to be!"

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother saw Jiang Ancheng's face as if he wanted to eat people, and the villagers who came over after hearing the noise, immediately yelled at Quan Hongmei, "Shut up!" and said to Sun Miaolan with concern, "Miaolan, you are deeply Take a few breaths, take a few deep breaths, pregnancy is like this, occasionally there will be throbbing pain, it shouldn’t matter.”

There is an echo in the mountains, but if the sound is louder, it's like shouting with a big horn.

Uncle Li had just heard Quan Hongmei's rotten mouth making up Jiang Ancheng's nonsense.

He hurried over, and immediately testified for Jiang Ancheng: "Don't think too much about Miaolan, everyone knows what kind of person An Cheng is, and he will definitely not mess around."

Quan Hongmei was furious and refused to give up: "I clearly saw him flirting with a city woman."

Jiang Ancheng clenched his palms, couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Get out of here!"

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's complexion changed drastically, and they wanted to reprimand Jiang Ancheng, but the current situation really did not allow them to say a few more words.

If Sun Miaolan really had something happened to them, they would have their backs stabbed for the rest of their lives.

What's more, this stomach is also their grandson.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother endured this, and resentfully pulled the trembling Qiangzi and Yanzi aside.

Quan Hongmei still wanted to speak, but old Uncle Li and Aunt Li warned her fiercely with her eyes, and closed her mouth indignantly.

Only then did Sun Miaolan say unhurriedly: "I just feel a little pain, so I shouldn't need to go to the doctor."
