Chapter 44 The Great Dinner

The onion was soaking, Wan Xiaoliu found a lot of red peppers, removed the stalks of the peppers, washed them, took them to the chopping board, chopped them into fine pieces, and added some garlic and ginger together, after chopping, it was hot in the hand Yes, Wan Xiaoliu soaked his hands in clean water for a while, feeling good to rub, put all the pepper powder on the cutting board into a small jar, add salt, mix well, and then put a small stone on the jar , Cover the top with oil paper and seal it well.This can be eaten in a few days, the famous chopped chili sauce, the chili is chopped, marinated, and eaten directly as a chili sauce, it is awesome, there is no chili in winter, it is very good to put some when cooking or cooking fish.

In the room, I heard Wan Xiaojiu's voice coming from far away, Wan Xiaoliu went to the door and opened his head to see that Wan Mofei was followed by a group of children.

"Sixth Sister, Sixth Sister, Brother Murphy has caught a lot of fish." Wan Xiaojiu yelled happily when she saw Wan Xiaoliu's appearance.Extremely excited.

Wan Xiaoliu didn't bother to care about the group of children, went to the well and washed the onions soaked in boiling water with cold water again, put them in wooden barrels, took them home, sprinkled salt evenly in them, picked up the barrel and shook them up and down a few times , Let the bottom ones come up, and the top ones go down, almost evenly, then sprinkle some salt on the surface, cover the top with a piece of burden, and put it on a high platform.

A group of children happily entered the yard.

Wan Xiaoliu saw Wan Mofei, who stood out from the crowd among the children, and looked at him with a smile, as if he was in a good mood.

"Sixth Sister, look, Brother Mofei has caught a lot of fish." Wan Xiaojiu has a great advantage among this group of children. Wan Mofei was rescued by Wan Xiaoliu, and Wan Xiaoliu is Wan Xiaojiu's older sister.The children who followed Wan Xiaojiu didn't speak. Usually, no one from Wan Xiaoliu's family except Wan Xiaojiu's family came, and Wan Xiaoliu rarely entered the village.

"Oh, let me take a look." Wan Xiaoliu took Wan Mofei's hand and looked into the basket, "Hey, why did you make so much in such a long time."

Most of the baskets contain large and small fish, river fish, hemp fish, yellow spicy diced fish, and crucian carp.

"It's a good thing your clothes and shoes are not wet. Take a rest. I'll get the fish. I'll pick the vegetables first." Holding an empty basket, Wan Xiaoliu picked eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, and beans.

Wan Mofei didn't rest, but poured the fish into the basin to wash.

"Pour the fish to the edge of the well. The small ones have to be squeezed to squeeze out the dirty ones, and the scales of the big ones have to be removed. I have picked the vegetables, and I will do it." Wan Xiaoliu saw that Wan Mofei knew how to do it.

Wan Xiaoliu rolled up his sleeves, put all the big fish into the basin, scraped the scales quickly, dug out the gills, cut off the fins, cut open the belly of the fish, cleaned out everything inside, and scraped the black fish. Lose.

A group of children stared.Wan Mofei brought an earthen bowl from the house, and Wan Xiaoliu put the prepared fish into the earthen bowl.Wan Mofei took a small stool for Wan Xiaoliu to sit on, took one for himself, and began to squeeze Xiaoyu's belly.

"Sixth sister, do you want to eat this fish at night?" Wan Xiaojiu asked with her chin in her hands.

"No, eat chicken at night, did you eat your pheasant and hare?"

"I ate it, but I haven't finished it yet. My mother gave half a pheasant to my eldest sister."

"Why did you send it to Eldest Sister?" Wan Xiaoliu was very surprised, she rarely went to Eldest Sister's house.

"When Dad was going to the market, I heard that the eldest sister was happy. The eldest brother-in-law went to Beijing to take the exam again." Wan Xiaojiu asked and answered.

"Oh, then when you go home, take two of these big fish home. It's better to eat them braised." Wan Xiaoliu has always been very generous to his uncle's family, which is also due to the attraction of blood.

"But I want to eat your chicken." Wan Xiaojiu muttered.

"Okay, you can go back after eating."

"Are you still cooking fish that night?" Wan Xiaojiu really wanted to eat fish.

"Are you talking about cooking fish at night?" Wan Xiaoliu raised his head and asked Wan Mofei who was opposite him.

Wan Mofei raised his head to look at Wan Xiaoliu and asked himself, and saw Wan Xiaojiu winking at him next to him, it was so cute.

"Xiao Jiu eats here, let's burn it." Wan Mofei naturally agreed when he received Wan Xiaojiu's dark room.

"Xiaojiu, I burned it because he said you were eating here. If it were me, I wouldn't burn it. If I asked you to learn calligraphy, you wouldn't learn it. You would disappear every day." Wan Xiaoliu remembered it clearly. .

"Sixth Sister, my father said that he would wait two days to go to the market, bring me paper and grinders, and let me formally worship Brother Murphy as a teacher." Wan Xiaojiu was very happy.

"What?" Wan Xiaoliu was startled, "Why did you tell your parents?"

"That day the village chief passed by my house with the post. My father asked him what he was doing. He put the post in front of my father and let my father read it. My father was illiterate, so I read a few words beside him. Later, my father I heard that it was Brother Mo Fei who taught me, so he told me to learn to read and write, and asked me to take Brother Mo Fei as a teacher."

"I'm dizzy." Wan Xiaoliu stopped talking, the village chief really wanted to put an end to his arrogance.

The fish was basically finished. Wan Xiaoliu looked at the children around him, staring at each one with big eyes. Children in this era are indeed lacking in material things.

"You...do you want to stay and eat fish?" Wan Xiaoliu couldn't tell them to go.

"Sixth sister, can they all stay and eat fish?" Wan Xiaojiu was surprised.

"Yeah, you can do whatever you want." Wan Xiaoliu thought that he could get fish anyway, so two people couldn't finish eating so many fish.

"Oh, Sixth Sister is so kind." No one can understand the child's world.

"I'll go back and cook the fish. You wash this small fish and put it in a Shakei to drain it. Dry it at night and fry it to eat." Wan Xiaoliu picked up a few big fish and went back to cook.

"Okay." Wan Mofei always responded to Wan Xiaoliu.

"Xiao Jiu, I'll decorate with wheat, and you go to Uncle Chang's house to exchange some noodles." Wan Xiaoliu ordered Wan Xiaojiu.He took a cloth bag and went into the house to pack the wheat.

Wan Xiaojiu took two friends and went to change faces.The other children were around Wan Xiaoliu and around the fish.

Wan Xiaoliu went back to the house and started cooking. First, he put the pheasant in the pot, tasted it, and poked it with chopsticks. The stew was very bad.Wash the pot, heat the pot, pour in oil, heat the oil, and then put the sliced ​​ginger in the oil pot, so that the fish is less likely to stick to the pot.When the oil is [-]% hot, put a fish in it, the fish is about a foot long, it should be obtained in Dahe Tanzi, anyway, Wan Mofei has martial arts, so don't worry about it.When the fish is in the oil, the skin on both sides will bubble up, turn it over again, and the frying is almost done, pick it up and put it in the big basin next to it, and put two and a half long ones in it to fry, the two are a little bit together It was sticky, Wan Xiaoliu thought that three fish should be enough to eat.After frying everything, put the oil in the pan, put a little oil in the pan, heat it up, put minced ginger and garlic, and then put the fish in.When the sides are browned, add some water and cook like this.

"Sixth sister, we are back." Wan Xiaojiu handed the noodles to Wan Mofei.
