Pastoral little master

Chapter 298 Complicated Emotions

Qiduo was startled, not knowing why Shen Nan asked such a question.

Could it be that I gave him some illusion that he thought he was very familiar with Wen Xiuyi?
She shook her head and denied, "No, I'm not familiar with Mr. Wen, what's the matter?"

This is the truth, the understanding of Wen Xiuyi's life is limited to knowing that he has profound medical skills, excellent archery skills, and that he is Ge Fenglin's junior, and he doesn't know anything else.

Therefore, she didn't know Wen Xiuyi well.

Shen Nan frowned again, and asked aggrievedly, "Since you don't understand, why did you tell your mother that he doesn't like polite people just now? Judging from the meaning of your words, it is clear that you are very familiar with him."

Qiduo sweated a lot, and tried to distinguish for herself, "Brother Nan, you are so smart, can't you tell that I was speaking for you in front of your aunt. It was impolite for your aunt to say that you were a teacher, so I will explain it to you. Well."

Hearing her explanation, Shen Nan's brows and eyes relaxed a little.

However, he added, "However, he seems to be a little different to you."

"Ah, what do you mean?" Qiduo asked in surprise, very worried that Wen Xiuyi would say something that shouldn't be said in front of Shen Nan.

Seeing her shocked and bewildered expression, Shen Nan knew that she didn't pretend to be intentional, and her tense mood relaxed.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when he came to teach me archery, when we were resting and chatting, he would ask me something about you." Shen Nan replied.

Her little face was a little tense, and her tone was a little sour.

"Things about me? What's the matter? Have you told him?" Qiduo's brows were also tightly frowned, feeling even more irritable.

Shen Nan glared at her lightly with dark and energetic eyes, "You think I'm as stupid as you, how could I tell others about things related to you so easily."

"Don't say he's just my master, even if it's my parents, I wouldn't easily tell them about you." He muttered again.

For Wen Xiuyi, Shen Nan's feelings are also a bit complicated, maybe it's his master, but he still has some pimples in his heart.

In the last archery competition, he could see that Wen Xiuyi proposed it on purpose, and the reason might be because of Qiduo, because he carved wood carvings for Qiduo.

After becoming his master, Wen Xiuyi taught him how to practice archery earnestly, and his archery also improved by leaps and bounds.For this, he was sincerely grateful, and respected Wen Xiuyi with the respect of a master.

But Wen Xiuyi often mentions Qiduo carelessly in front of him, acting as if he is very familiar with Qiduo and very intimate, which makes him very uncomfortable.

That's why Shen Nan felt a dull pain in his heart when Qiduo mentioned Wen Xiuyi just now, and that's why his eyes dimmed.

Hearing Qiduo's explanation now, he felt a little better.

Shen Nan's answer reassured Qiduo, but she was still a little unconvinced by this silly word, curling her lips, "I'm just worried that you will say everything to him when you get excited because he sees him as your master. It's the new year, you know people, you don't know your face, you still have to be more careful, and be more wary of outsiders."

Shen Nan's smile finally brightened.

Because Qiduo called Wen Xiuyi an outsider.

"Let's go, let's go catch fish." Qiduo waved to Shen Nan, and ran to the pond first.

The corners of the skirt were raised, and the long hair was flying in the wind. Looking at the seven flowers that were as light as butterflies, the corners of Shen Nan's lips curled up, shouting to wait for me, and then ran to chase her.

There are more than 30 fish with shiny scales. There are two kinds of grass carp and silver carp. Grass carp is bigger than silver carp, but the fish of the same kind are about the same size. They are struggling with their tails in the wooden basin.

"Father, how much does one weigh?" Qiduo asked Tan Dejin.

My father's hand is the scale. If you want to ask about the weight, just ask him directly. You don't need to use a scale to weigh it.

Tan Dejin picked up a grass carp with his hand, weighed it with his hand, nodded, "Well, it's about four and a half catties." He weighed the silver carp again, "It's about three catties."

Silver carp grows slower than grass carp, so even though they were seedlings released in the same period, the grass carp was heavier in the end.

"Ah, they have grown a lot recently. I remember that the grass carp we picked up last time was only a little over three catties." Qiduo said very pleasantly.

"Hey, maybe the ones we picked up last time were relatively small." Tan Dejin smiled honestly.

"It can't be such a coincidence. It should be that the quality of the feed is good recently, and the fish grow fast." Tan Debao said with a smile.

Qiduo also nodded, "Well, no matter what, the fish are getting bigger and bigger anyway, let's taste their taste first today."

More than 30 fish, half and half of grass carp and half of silver carp, Qiduo took the initiative to allocate, and brought ten grass carp and eight chain carp home, and asked Tang Hu to take the rest to the kitchen. Taste the taste of the fish raised by yourself.

Tang Hu smiled and thanked Qiduo for everyone.

Qiduo and the others took the fish home, and Tan Debao followed them back.

On the carriage, Qiduo smiled and told Shen Huairen that they would have a fish feast tonight.

Shen Huairen said it was good, and was very much looking forward to the whole fish feast tonight.

After returning home, Qiduo told Mrs. Xu about the distribution of the fish, and gave two grass carp to Mr. Tan and the others, and then two to each of Tan's and Bao Chang's families, one each of grass carp and silver carp.

There are also two silver carp for Tan Dama's family. On weekdays, he has helped his family a lot, and he must not forget them at critical moments.

The rest of the fish will be used as the raw material for dinner tonight.

Looking at the fish, Qiduo lightly pouted. It was a pity that the fish was too small. If there was a ten-jin fish, the whole fish feast would be beautiful.

First of all, like the dish of chopped pepper fish head, the fish head must be bigger to be delicious and beautiful. Generally, the head of fat-headed fish is used, and the head of grass carp is smaller.

It seems that chopped pepper fish head can’t be made, so let’s make fried fish head and fish head soup.

Crispy fried fish scales, double pepper fish skin, fried fish mouth, fish head tofu soup, chopped pepper fish fins, boiled fish fillets, dry pot fish offal, peacock fish, fish fillet with egg yolk, fish balls in clear soup, braised fish Wait for eleven fish dishes, and then add a few light and refreshing side dishes, such as cold cucumbers, dry-stir-fried green beans, apricot plums and peanuts, and amaranth with garlic.

There are meat and vegetables, salty and sweet, light and refreshing, and spicy. Everyone's preferences can be catered for.

Well, Qiduo prepared the dishes she was going to cook in her heart, then rolled up her sleeves, tied her apron, and started to prepare.

In the past, Erxia and Liuju competed to do fish slaughtering, but today, Qiduo did it by herself, because fish scales were used for cooking, so she had to be careful.

When eating fish, the fish scales are thrown away directly.

Seeing that Qiduo carefully scraped off the scales from the fish, and then put them on a plate, Liuju and Erxia were puzzled, "Duo, what are you doing with the fish scales? You can't eat them." Bar?"

"Pfft, that's right, it's for eating." Qiduo raised her eyebrows at the two sisters.

"Ah, this thing is hard, how can I eat it?" Liuju's eyes widened, thinking that Qiduo was joking with her.

"It's delicious, you'll know later, eldest sister, second sister, you go and choose the yellow and green beans first, and when I finish picking up the fish, let's cook dinner together." Qiduo smiled. said.

Liuju and Erxia nodded and left, going to do other things first.

Qiduo quickly processed the fish. The fish scales, roe, fish, and white fish fat were all placed on a plate separately, and then clean water was fetched to clean the fish and fish debris, and they were taken out of the kitchen to start preparations.

Chop off the fish head and tail, slice off the fish meat, scrape off the fish skin, slice the fish inside, chop the fish meat to make fish balls, cut the fish steaks, pickle the guppies, and the melodious sound of the crisp kitchen knife chopping the chopping board sounded in the kitchen.

Half an hour later, a scent began to waft from the kitchen.

Mrs. Xu watered the bean sprouts in the bean sprout room, so she didn't need to reach out for the work in the kitchen.

She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that since Qiduo could speak, she did less and less homework, and it was her three daughters who shared most of the homework.

Like cooking, she hardly needs to do it by herself now. Sometimes when there are guests at home, at most she can arrange what dishes should be prepared, and she just needs to move her mouth.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xu's mouth turned up involuntarily. She is really happy that her daughter is so well-behaved, sensible and filial.

When thinking of his daughter, he would never forget the ignorant Yan Sihong.

Since the last time Yan Sihong fainted in the academy, Mrs. Xu went to the academy to look for Yan Sihong twice, but she never saw his face. Once he came to face her, and when he saw her, he ran away. In the blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace and could not be found.

For this reason, Xu hid in the house and cried secretly several times after returning.

Seeing her like this, Tan Dejin also followed behind sadly.

Alas, I don't know if Xianshu is doing well recently, or when he will recognize me as a mother, or if he won't recognize me in his life, what should I do?

Mrs. Xu sighed in her heart, the smile on her face disappeared, and a layer of cloud was cast over her.

The Qiduo three sisters are agile, and the dishes are cooked one by one. The color is bright and beautiful, the style is special, and the taste is different.

Tan Dejin invited Shen Huairen, Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan to come, and called Mr. Tan and his wife together. After they entered the room, they sat down according to priority.

Tan Dejin asked Shen Huairen and his wife to be the chief, but Shen Huairen waved his hands desperately and refused, saying how could he be the chief with Mr. and Mrs. Tan around, so he respectfully invited Mr. and Mrs. Tan to be the chief.

Shen Huairen has always been a filial son, now that his parents have passed away, when he sees other people's parents, he also respects them from the bottom of his heart, never daring to overdo it.

In terms of status, Shen Huairen and Shen Nan are both famous people, and they should be the chief.

After everyone sat down, the three sisters of Qiduo brought the dishes to the table.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Shen Huairen narrowed his eyes with a smile, and gave Qiduo another thumbs up, "Qi girl, yes!"

Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan laughed very happily.

Even Mrs. Zhao looked at the dishes made of fish on the table, especially the fish scales, which even cats dislike, could be made into dishes and served on the table. Like a peacock with its tail spread out, it is very lifelike, and it really convinced Qiduo.

A meal is naturally enjoyed by the host and guest, with constant laughter.

Just as Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao were about to return to the front yard, Tan Decai hurried over with a heavy expression on his face, as if something had happened.
