Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 401: Reciprocity
Chapter 401 Reciprocity
Yang Bin glanced at the red tilapia in Jian Heng's hand, he was a little undecided, and after holding back for a while, he asked: "Is the tilapia you mentioned the same as the tilapia I saw? Why do you think the two look a little different, and the tilapia I ate was light yellow, how could it be so red?"
Jian Heng heard the words and replied: "Tilapia is also divided into types, just like the Asian carp mentioned by Americans actually includes the crucian carp, carp and herring we talk about, and the same is true for tilapia. This kind of tilapia is Red, but red to this degree is rare."
Last year, Zhao Changshan threw some African crucian carp in the lake, which is actually tilapia, which is just the usual name.
"You all contribute what you catch, and think about how to eat it at noon." Jian Heng hooked his hands at everyone while talking.
Ning Ning looked at Jian Zhenhua eagerly: "Dad, you pay me for the fish!"
"What's the matter?" Jian Heng looked at his sister's distraught look, and asked immediately.
Ning Ning pouted: "Dad said this fish is not edible, you kept it for watching, so we put the fish we caught back into the water, and I caught a big one."
While speaking, the little girl stretched out her hand and gestured. Originally, she gestured about 20 centimeters, but she seemed to feel that this was not convincing, so she directly stretched out her hand to a length of 50 or 60 centimeters, and did not take into account such a long fish. How to jump out of the two ice holes she was looking at, I am afraid that even a fish head would be difficult to stick out.
Jian Zhenhua said with a little embarrassment: "I don't know, besides, the red fish that looks like blood is creepy at first glance. Who would have thought that it could be eaten. How about this, daddy's next fish is yours, okay?" it is good?"
"Okay!" Ning Ning immediately accepted his father's proposal.
Then the scene was quiet for a while again, all heads, big and small, continued to stare at the ice hole in front of them, and people like Xiao An were still murmuring silently.
With the fish in his hand, Jian Heng began to count the people in the family in his mind, but he didn’t even need to count. Obviously such a fish was not enough to see. So many people snatched a small fish that weighed less than two catties, exaggerating One point is not enough for a chopstick.
Thinking of this, Jian Heng turned his head to look at a group of people, and felt that he could not rely on them, but had to rely on the silver carp. Thinking about it, he urged his mind to sense the silver carp, and soon the silver carp that received Jian Heng's induction immediately drove the bright red Luo Fei in the water to Jian Heng's side.
"Wow, I have fish here"
"I have it here too!"
"A lot of fish!"
After a while, tails of bright red tilapias began to jump out, not only the small ice holes for everyone, but the most spectacular one was the big ice hole. Countless bright red tilapias jumped out of the water directly, bringing The bright red tilapia jumped up in the air with the clear lake water, it felt like a transparent crystal tree with countless bright red leaves hanging on it, it was very beautiful.
Most of the fish fell back into the water, and quite a few unlucky ones landed on the ice after they got out of the water. Tilapias are not cold-resistant fish. It’s good that they can survive at this temperature. Jump The one on the ice only jumped twice symbolically, then straightened up and hung up.
After a burst of bright red fish that lasted for five minutes, there were nearly seventy bright red tilapia left on the ice. As the fish died, the white parts of the fish body were gradually replaced by red. , and the dark red color of blood on the fish gradually faded a little, so that the whole fish looked like a flame-like deep orange, and the snow-white ice surface was dotted with red fish one after another, making the original The monotonous ice surface has a beautiful beauty.
"A Song of Ice and Fire!" Yang Bin saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly spit out the name of an American drama he had been chasing now.
Jian Zhenhua has never watched this drama, so he just nodded from a visual point of view when he heard what his son-in-law said: "Well, it really has such a little meaning!"
Jian Heng looked at it and felt that there was too much fish today, not to mention one meal, even three or five meals would not be enough, so he decided to send a batch to Zhao Changshan's home later. How their family eats is up to them.
"Stop watching, quickly pick up the fish and go home" Jian Heng said to everyone.
So a group of people immediately started picking up fish with net bags.
I didn’t expect that picking up a fish would lead to contradictions. I saw that Ningning and Xiaoan had their eyes on the biggest fish at the same time, and one was pulling the head and the other the tail.
"This is my fish!" Ning Ning shouted loudly with his nose and eyes raised.
"This is mine, Ningning, you're lying!" Xiaoan stopped doing it, and when she got angry, she opened her mouth to call Ningning, Ningning yelled.
"Stop arguing, just take one at random and you'll be fine." Jian Zhenhua felt a little headache when he saw the two children.
Yang Bin directly turned his face away at this time, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, the two children didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp in his eyes.
"Give me the fish, and I'll judge whose it is." Jian Heng walked over, stretched out his hand to take back the fish in the hands of the two children, then turned his back on his hands, flipped around a few times, and then there was a fish in each hand .
"Here! This is yours, this is yours." Jian Heng casually stuffed the two fish into the hands of the two children.
The two children were dumbfounded. Now they can't tell which one is the one they grabbed just now, and which one is the one that Jian Heng has been carrying behind his back. So the two children took the fish stupidly, and then stared at each other stupidly.
The matter is settled, the adults concentrate on picking fish.
Jian Zhenhua asked his son Jian Heng while picking it up, "You said this fish was braised in soy sauce?"
"Braised and steamed are both good," Jian Heng replied casually.
Jian Zhenhua heard it and immediately said: "Then let's steam it, you do it, your mother doesn't have time to make these."
"You do it." Jian Heng threw the blame back to his father.
"Then what are you doing?" Jian Zhenhua was a little unhappy.
Jian Heng replied: "I'm going to send some New Year's goods to Zhao Changshan, and you don't have an American driving book."
Hearing what Jian Heng said, Jian Zhenhua was a little discouraged.
"Look, Uncle Changshan is here" the little girl Ning Ning's words immediately rescued Jian Zhenhua from her depression.
Jian Heng looked up and found Zhao Changshan's van parked at the door of his house.
"Do you have time now?" Jian Zhenhua looked at his son and laughed a few times, and reached out to pat Jian Heng's shoulder, with an expression that you are not qualified to fight with me.
Jian Heng is a little depressed now, and nodded with a hum: "That's okay, let's cook fish together."
"How about I come?" Yang Bin interrupted at this moment.
Jian Zhenhua immediately waved his hands and said, "Forget it, we just need to come, and you take care of the two children."
As soon as he heard that Yang Bin was going to cook fish, Jian Zhenhua was immediately startled and tried to dissuade him repeatedly. Although he said that his son-in-law can also cook, this does not include cooking fish, which is considered weird. The fish he cooks cannot be seen at all , that is, the level of cooking and eating. Now that everyone has higher requirements for taste, how can Jian Zhenhua let him make a move.
The three adults each carried a net bag, and the two children each carried a fish in their hands. Pooh had one in his mouth at first, but the fish disappeared before he walked a few steps. The last person in the team, who sees people not paying attention, will take a bite out of the fish. He has been coming to the ranch for so many days, but he still can't change his habit of petty theft. As for the black tiger, he was quite honest, following behind Pooh with a fish in his mouth, but people would not eat the fish he had held in his mouth, and in the end it was either cheaper for Pooh or instant noodles.
"Have you not returned home yet?" Jian Heng walked up to Zhao Changshan and asked.
Zhao Changshan said: "I'm back, no, my old lady and the others are also here, and they brought us a lot of dried fruits, and I want to send some to you."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Changshan patted himself on the big woven bag that he took down from the car. Feelings This is to send some souvenirs to Jian Heng's family.
"Is this okay?" Jian Heng was a little curious. It wouldn't be strange if he brought things from China by himself, there is room. But seeing that Mrs. Zhao Changshan was able to bring so many things to the United States, Jian Heng began to wonder in his heart, could it be that this old lady also has such things as space?
Zhao Changshan didn't expect that his boss would think about these things, and he opened his mouth to explain: "It's not easy to bring. Fortunately, one of my relatives is in the export of agricultural products, that is, the one who knows He Ye, and helped to bring it over. How could she bring a hundred catties of stuff to the United States."
Jian Heng listened to his heart and said: That's how it is!
entered the house together, and the two little ones ran to the kitchen to show their mothers the fish they brought up. Jian Heng took Zhao Changshan's things here, and bought a lot of new year's goods for Zhao Changshan, so everyone was reciprocating courtesy.
