A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 56 [056] Shrimp and vegetable mush

The big ones are used to catch fish, and the little ones are used to hold fish. This time they went to the river, they did not return empty-handed, and they brought back so much freshwater fish. From the time they entered the door to now, the corners of the mouths of the whole family have never closed.

"So Dad, are you going to make another one?"

"Yeah, make a few more, put them in different places, and grab more."

"Father, I don't want to eat it, so let's sell it."

According to the visual estimation, the harvest last night was around [-] to [-] catties. Because it was miscellaneous, it might not be able to sell for a high price, but the two wild soft-shelled turtles could be sold for a good price.

The father paused while grinding the bamboo, and subconsciously turned to look at his daughter: "You don't want to eat?"

"These stomach-turning ones are about to die. Let's just eat them. Let's sell these alive and kicking ones!"

The father was stunned again: "Do you still know that the person who turned his stomach is dying?"

"Of course. Grandpa also told me that this soft-shelled turtle is very valuable. Dad, if you sell it in a state-run restaurant in the county, you can expect to sell it at a good price."

The little girl gave her an idea, so that Zhuo Dajun, who didn't mean it at first, couldn't help but look at his wife: "What the hell?"

"Girl is right, why are we eating such expensive things? I don't know how to do it. These small fish and shrimps are enough for the children to make up for. Otherwise, you can get crabs, soft-shelled turtles, and these big fish. The restaurant is sold, so how much can I use to make up for the household?"

Zhuo Dajun pursed his lips, bowed his head and meditated for a moment, then stood up: "Okay, that's it, you put it in the bamboo basket for me quickly, I'll be in a hurry,"

The bamboo basket is big enough, and it is just right to put the wooden basin with water and fish in the bamboo basket. Of course, A Niang has already cleaned out the fish and shrimp that are no longer dying.

After his father left with a bamboo basket on his back, Brother Yao also woke up. A Niang carried him out, brought a potato for each of them, and gagged their mouths first, then took out scissors and a pot, and took out the fish and shrimp left behind. to process.

What good things can the country people eat? The bean dregs are gone, and the millet is gone, so for the meal at noon, Auntie took out the shrimp and chopped them into the pot, cut a lot of diced potatoes, and started to boil. , the remaining small fish are for my brothers to eat, and the weather is hot, so they have to be salted first to prevent them from spoiling.

Fortunately, although salt is an expensive daily necessities, you can buy it at any time. It is not as expensive as sugar, and you may not be able to buy it in line.

Although eating potatoes can temporarily hold them back, the temptation of the shrimps whetted the appetites of the siblings. Mrs. Wang simply boiled them porridge with potatoes, shrimps, rice and vegetables early on. stew.

Because the prawns are minced and blended into the soup, it has a faint fishy smell. If this taste was left in the past, she would definitely dislike it, but now, looking at the red meat inside, it is matched with green The wild vegetables are broken, and there are sticky mashed potatoes. This bowl of slightly salty vegetables is mushy, but she and Zhuo Jian are satisfied with the food. One bowl is not enough, so I ordered another bowl. A Niang looked at the two of them eating and laughing.

When the aunt came back from the ground, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law unknowingly stretched their brows when they tasted it: "It's really good!"

It was only a handful of river prawns, but a large pot of vegetable paste was boiled. Everyone drank two bowls, and in the end, two bowls were left for Zhuo Dajun.

Everyone was very satisfied with what they ate, probably because they hadn’t touched meat for a long time. It’s pitiful to say that such small shrimps are far worse than sea shrimps, but it’s just such a bowl of vegetables that makes the famine year. Every time the siblings in the village mention this bowl of porridge, they still remember it vividly.
