Chapter 36 Let's Go Catch Loach
Since getting the first business, Gu Yu has been talking to Wang and Xiaoman, what is inside and outside the words is what to pay attention to when selling wooden barrels, such as saying a few more words to reveal the information that can be made into furniture, Let people get some benefits and come to the door next time. This is also the sweetness that Gu Yu got when he went to the market that day. Thinking about increasing exposure will always pay off. If more people come to him in the future, it won’t be so hard. Ran to the town to set up a stall.

Xiao Man didn't care too much, "It's enough for you to be at home like a ghost, and I don't feel like talking too much."

But Gu Yu thought in her heart, these are the second most important things. Seemingly, the seedlings are about to be planted. She wants to catch loaches before then and make soup for Mrs. Wang to drink.

It just so happens that Jing Zhe only goes to school for half a day these days, and has nothing to do in the afternoon.Locked in the room and unable to come out, Gu Yu went in with something on her mind, only to find that Jing Zhe's panicked expression covered something written on the table.Gu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, mother told you to carry water."

Jing Zhe nodded, and stopped at the door, "The water tank is full."

After realizing that this was Gu Yu's trick, Gu Yu had already opened the paper on the table, and it turned out to be a bunch of strange things. The whole piece of paper had all kinds of chicken, duck and fish written on it, but the price was not written either. She was stunned. After a while, I just realized that this is an ancient menu?But with such a large sheet of paper, there are patterns, and then he laughed, thinking that there are still many people who are illiterate, this picture is very intuitive, and you can see everything in the store, it is really hard for Jingzhe, It probably never occurred to him that the pen he used for painting was actually used to draw these things.

"Brother, what do you draw fish for? Oh, I see. When I went to the market with my father, I saw this is what people posted on the door of the restaurant. I will tell my parents."

Jing Zhe's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Gu Yu, "Good Gu Yu, please don't tell your parents, my... this..."

Gu Yu naturally knew that he was doing this to make ends meet for the family, and then remembered what Jing Zhe said when she and Jing Zhe were sitting at the door after Xiao Man scolded Li He angrily, it turned out that they were all thinking of ways to make money However, Gu Yu always felt wronged by Jing Zhe, and wanted to come to him to learn Danqing that day, but now he was unwilling to draw menus, so he said: "Brother, don't draw in the future, how much effort will it take to draw a menu, But just to draw this one dish, I don’t know how much work it will take you.” At the end, Gu Yu asked softly: “How much will the restaurant owner give you?”

Jingzhe lowered her head and kept pinching the corner of her clothes, with a proud look on her face, "Gu Yu, let me tell you, don't tell your parents, it's worth [-] Wen, I think I will draw more by then, You can save enough money to go to private school.”

Gu Yu's mouth has grown up, it's too cheating, don't say these words, just these patterns alone, there are already as many as ten. Thinking that she had earned it, she meditated in her heart for a long time before she calmed down.

An Jinxuan just entered the door at this time, seeing Gu Yu winking at Jing Zhe here, Jing Zhe shook his head and smiled helplessly, An Jinxuan was also a little embarrassed.

Gu Yu said half in jest and half in earnest: "Brother, don't draw this in the future. With your good painting skills, you can't do anything. I won't tell my parents, but you have to promise me one thing, and don't do it first." Tell mom and dad."

Jing Zhe heard Gu Yu say this, and smiled with relief, "What is so mysterious?"

Gu Yu pulled Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan: "Let's go catch loaches."

An Jinxuan and Jing Zhe looked at each other, both of them looked at a loss, as if they didn't know what a loach was, Gu Yu looked at them, and thought that he had found the right person, at least they couldn't eat the loach without it That preconceived notion.

Jing Zhe asked: "Gu... Gu Yu, how do you catch loaches?"

This Gu Yu didn't think about it well either, she couldn't remember how to use the tool for catching loaches, now seeing Jing Zhe's question like this, she bit the bullet and said: "There is no way to catch it, just catch it like a fish. .”

An Jinxuan seemed to be interested, "Gu Yu, what are you doing with this?"

Gu Yu thought over and over again, but still thought it would be better to say first, "What else can I have, eat it, you don't know that loach is warming, mild in nature and sweet in taste, I have eaten it before, I heard from the old man that if you can catch it Cooking and eating is better than fish."

An Jinxuan suppressed a smile, "Haha, you know it's mild and sweet."

Gu Yu gritted her teeth, remembering that her mother was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and she was always in poor health, so she tried her best to take care of herself. Go catch it first, and make stew for mother to eat, otherwise mother won't even taste the meat at all."

Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan carried a wooden barrel and wanted to go out with them, Gu Yu ran behind, the three of them got out, and went to Gu Yu's own paddy field first, the three-acre field should be able to catch a lot of loaches.

Gu Yu wanted to go to the field with her, but was stopped by Jing Zhe, "Gu Yu, you can't do this, anyway, you are a girl's family, how can you roll up your trouser legs for no reason."

Gu Yu secretly cursed that it was really feudalism, but he was happy to have his place, and commanding those two people on the ridge of the field was just blind commanding.In the end, it is up to An Jinxuan, he has a natural sensitivity to these things, and after he caught a few with difficulty, he began to discuss with Jing Zhe, "Jing Zhe, look at the mud, it looks like there are bubbles on it There must be loaches under the place, if you go down with both hands, you won’t be able to escape if you hold them up, don’t you see this?”

After talking about this, the progress was indeed much faster, but Gu Yu felt a little itchy, and wanted to go to the field several times, but was stopped by Jing Zhe with his eyes, so he could only smell the mud smell and watch them happy.

After working for so long, Gu Yu saw that there were already dozens of loaches, and thought that it was all right, so let's make them first and then tell them to get up.An Jinxuan Jingzhe happily washed his hands and feet, with a sense of accomplishment, Gu Yu sighed in his heart, and said, "These should be enough for us, and tomorrow I will make tools, and I can do them on the sidelines." Catch the loach, hum!"

The three returned home mysteriously, seeing that Li Dequan was still busy with his own affairs, and Wang's Xiaoman was still embroidering, so they didn't notice them. Jingzhe brought out the wooden bucket, and the three of them went to the river to wash their hands and feet. I used two wooden barrels to change the water and washed the loach, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yu can't wait to eat loach now, but is it acceptable for them to eat loach so hastily?

An Jinxuan seemed to see Gu Yu's concerns, "What's the matter, take it to my side first, we're busy with this, cook half of it first and eat it, if it's really delicious, won't it be easy to catch it later? ?”

Jing Zhe patted him on the shoulder, "Xiandi said so."

Gu Yu slapped his hands and laughed loudly, "It's about being a good brother, brother, are you stupid after studying for two days? This is not the private school or the sour scholar talking, hee hee."

Just do what you say, Jing Zhe lights up the fire and An Jinxuan cooks, while Gu Yu sits at the door of the kitchen and keeps watch, like a thief.

Gu Yu saw that they were very unskilled, so he took a piece of ginger and smashed it into pieces, and threw it into the pot, "This can remove the fishy smell. When the time comes, sprinkle salt on it, and the umami taste can hit the nose."

Sure enough, the pot will be ready soon, squatting on the ground to eat, the bowl is no longer available, An Jinxuan puts the pot on the ground, and the three of them start eating with chopsticks in their hands, Gu Yu is still very rude Grabbed it with his hands and gnawed it. At first, Jing Zhe couldn't eat it at all. An Jinxuan laughed at him: "This is delicious, why didn't I think that a friend of my father gave it to me earlier. It tastes like this. It's edible. Snake meat is delicious."

Jing Zhe managed to convince himself, just put the loach to his mouth, when he heard An Jinxuan talking about snake meat, he didn't dare to eat it.

Gu Yu and An Jinxuan looked at each other and smiled, "Brother, if you don't eat, we'll be done eating. You can drink some soup."

Jingzhe saw that Gu Yu was eating so deliciously, so she couldn't care less, and after eating it, she said, "Ah, the loach still tastes like this, it's really delicious."

Can it be delicious?Gu Yuxin said that she eats pickled vegetables and wild vegetables every day, and now she has some green vegetables. Occasionally eating a piece of tofu is considered an extra vegetable. This can be regarded as a good meat dish, but she thought so, but she didn't say it I just snickered in my heart, everything has a process.

The loach was eaten clean, and there was not a drop of soup left. Gu Yu started planning dinner again, "Brother Jinxuan, you want to have dinner with us tonight."

An Jinxuan seemed to understand Gu Yu's thoughts, "Naturally, I want to eat with you. I caught the loach. Besides, Jing Zhe looks like this. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince Uncle Li to eat this."

During dinner, Gu Yu gave each of them a bowl of soup without telling them in advance.

After drinking it, Li Dequan felt a little strange, "I said what the three of you are doing today. It turns out that you are going to catch small fish."

It's normal for him to say that. There are often tiny fishes in the creeks and fields. It's just that the adults feel that it's too late to catch them. Seeing that they have all drank the soup, Gu Yu said, "Father, eat it." It's loach."

Li Dequan quickly put down the bowl, "Gu Yu, how can you eat this."

Hearing this, Wang Shi and Xiao Man also put down their bowls, not daring to drink what was left.

It was expected to be like this a long time ago, Gu Yu made an impression on An Jinxuan.

An Jinxuan nodded and laughed, "Uncle, don't tell me, this loach is a treasure. I used to eat it with my father when I was at home. It is more expensive than fish, but it is not Know how easy it is to catch here."

In this way, Jing Zhe also spoke, "I also ate it when I went out before. It is said that this is warming and tonic. It is sweet in nature and mild in taste, and there is no harm in eating it."

Li Dequan looked a little loose, and still couldn't make up his mind. Seeing him like that, Wang was a little funny, "You are just stubborn. I saw this before I went out, when I went to restaurants, but I didn't eat it. I didn't expect to be so stubborn." so delicious."

Only then did Li Dequan believe that Gu Yu saw that the time was ripe, so he took out all the loach, and the whole family ate very happily. While eating, Gu Yu did not forget to ask: "Father, you must remember not to say anything, lest others say we Even if I don’t talk about gossip, I’m still afraid that they will snatch the loach.”

After the meal, Xiaoman cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Li Dequan sat down and took out the cigarette bag, but put it back, rubbed his hands and started to clean up the wooden basins and the like.

Gu Yu worked with An Jinxuan Jingzhe to develop the tool for catching loaches that Gu Yu mentioned, but there was no result for a long time.
