Chapter 30

Bathing in the morning sun, breathing in the fragrance of green grass and soil, the birds flying overhead from time to time, and the sounds of fireworks in the farmyard all made Bai Jiujiu feel a very novel experience.

This is something unique to this era and this environment. Even if people's living standards improve after many years, this kind of life will still be sought after by many people. It is a spiritual pursuit.

Unable to resist the third aunt, she had to eat a boiled egg before walking towards the water pumping station outside the village with Yuchi Mingyue.

The afternoon before, third aunt Zhao Hongmei told Bai Jiujiu that she was going to work today. This was the first time she had participated in a group activity since she was reborn. She had to study hard to avoid making jokes later.

Only through Yuchi Mingyue's introduction did he know that this water lifting station has been under construction for a while and is almost finished.Recently, as soon as the weather warms up, the production team has a lot of work to do. Taking advantage of the gap during this period, the construction of the water pumping station has also been accelerated.

"Aunt Liu, are we not late?"

Yuchi Mingyue yelled at a woman with a particularly loud but crunchy voice.

"It's Mingyue who is here, and Yunting's daughter-in-law is also here. Come here quickly and let the aunt take a good look. You didn't get scared yesterday, did you?"

Bai Jiujiu is really not familiar with this very rustic way of greeting, anyway, here she is Yun Ting's wife, Yun Ting's family, and Yun Ting's wife, anyway, no one remembers her name.

"Hello Aunt Liu! Please take care of me, I'm not scared!"

Knowing that nothing could be changed, Bai Jiujiu resigned to his fate and automatically translated these names into Bai Jiujiu.

"Look at his sister-in-law, this girl is really pretty."

This Aunt Liu also knows how to use words. She knows that her current appearance is not suitable for being beautiful and cute. People use delicate, probably because she looks too thin.

"No, this little daughter-in-law may look as big as Mingyue, but she looks much smaller than Mingyue. Yun Ting is really lucky!"

The person who answered Aunt Liu was a woman who was about the same age as Aunt Liu, and Yuchi Mingyue introduced her to her as an aunt in the village.

"Hello, Auntie!"

Yuchi Mingyue saw that Bai Jiujiu didn't like such politeness very much, so she changed the subject, and besides, Aunt Liu was just talking about the scene politely, and didn't care what you thought at all.

"You and Yun Ting's daughter-in-law should chop the vegetables first, and fry them around noon. We've just started working, so don't worry."

Aunt Liu glanced at the laborers who came to work one after another, and pointed them in the direction of a pile of radishes and cabbages.

"Then Aunt Liu, please do your work first. Mingyue and I will go there."

Bai Jiujiu knew that it was not good not to speak, so he politely pulled Yuchi Mingyue towards the place pointed by Aunt Liu.

"This little daughter-in-law is really shy."

Aunt Liu muttered and yelled to arrange for someone to do something.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there will be people coming later, we can't finish cutting so many dishes."

It’s okay to say that the cabbage can be washed outside, and the leaves can be chopped off, but the stir-fried radish can only be cut into slices. It’s so old, it doesn’t take a long time to cut it.

"Don't you want to make soup?"

Bai Jiujiu thinks that white radish is better for making soup, although stir-frying is also fine, but not everyone likes the taste.

"I don't know. Aunt Liu asked me to decide what to cook. If you have an idea, sister-in-law, you can do it. I don't know how to cook very much."

Yuchi Mingyue thought that the little fish and shrimp made by Bai Jiujiu were very delicious, so she looked expectantly.

"Is there any meat?"

Bai Jiujiu remembered that grandma said that meat was provided when such large-scale workers went to work.

"There should be, but it will have to wait until later."

Looking at the white radish, cabbage, potatoes, and some dried fungus, vermicelli, and tofu on the ground, Bai Jiujiu came up with a recipe.

"Mingyue, can you see if there is any chili or dried chili? Then ask Aunt Liu how many dishes she cooks? Can you make soup?"

Bai Jiujiu counted the vegetables, and then added:
"Ask how many people are eating?"

Yuchi Mingyue agreed and ran to ask Aunt Liu, she was most afraid of this kind of thing, if the sister-in-law had an idea, she could save a lot of effort.

Looking at the bottom of the lake that has not been completely drained, there are ripples in it from time to time, and then look at the basket next to it.

"Yun Ting's family, do you want to make soup? But there are five NO.60 people eating here, so the soup is not enough?"

Aunt Liu followed Yuchi Mingyue and asked with a frown.

"Aunt Liu, people who work here sweat easily. It would be better to drink more soup. What do you think?"

That's what I said, but don't you have so many pots to cook?

"What soup would you like to make?"

Aunt Liu did not object, but asked a question.

"Aunt Liu, are there any fish at the bottom of this lake?"

Bai Jiujiu didn't answer directly, but asked first, and she made soup if she could, if not, forget it.

"Yes, I fished it once before and distributed it to the various production teams. There are still fish that are as big as palms, so I didn't catch them."

I don't know what Bai Jiujiu means.

"Then it's okay to use a basket to get a dozen or so?"

Now things are still a collective concept, Bai Jiujiu doesn't want to be caught talking about such a trivial matter.

"It's okay! Do you want to make fish soup?"

The Suzhou side is close to the sea and eats a lot of sea fish, but this freshwater fish eats less because there are more fish bones.

"Well, make radish, tofu and fish soup!"

This is simple and light, and it is very suitable for replenishing energy.

"Okay, you can have an idea, but this pot is not enough?"

Aunt Liu has a headache.

"It's okay, this fish soup is quick to make. After one pot is divided, it takes about 10 minutes to cook another pot. Drink the soup first, and drink the soup after the meal."

Don't worry about it being simple, I just don't know if Aunt Liu is willing to coordinate.

"That's a good relationship, let the aunt have a taste of your craft."

Many people don't like to eat the fish in this lake. Some people have suggested using fish for cooking. After all, this fish is made from local materials, but the cooking is not delicious, and no one comes to catch this fish.

"Okay, then I'll try."

With Aunt Liu's support, Bai Jiujiu was not asked to catch fish, so the labor of several helpers went to catch them.

Bai Jiujiu really has never cooked so many people's meals. Although he doesn't need any taste, Bai Jiujiu, who is used to finding the best ratio for everything, went through the recipes in advance, and dealt with them with Yuchi Mingyue crucian carp.

Crucian carp is not suitable for cooking. It is best to make soup. As long as it is cleaned and the fishy line is removed, the fish soup can generally be made to taste delicious.

Yuchi Mingyue never knew that there were two white lines on the fish body, seeing the fishy line drawn out looked like a worm, she still felt a little nervous.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know that the fish has this thing?"

Shaking the goose bumps on her body, Yuchi Mingyue asked.

"This is the fishy line. Most of the fishy smell is due to these two lines. Once you go there, it won't be so fishy. You should cut more ginger. Ginger can not only remove the fishy smell but also dampness. These people Working shirtless, once you stop to sweat, it is easy for the cold to enter your body and catch a cold.”

 I don’t like fish, so I never cook it deliciously. I spent a long time reading posts, and finally decided to make this one. I wanted to write about cooking very beautifully, but I found that it still didn’t work. Please understand, I will search for delicious food later. Learn to describe!
