Su Yue first processed the fish and shaved off all the bones of the meat. Only the fish meat is left, then cut it into several parts with a knife, clean it and slice it into pieces with a knife at an angle, then add salt and rub it again, and then wash it repeatedly with clean water until the fish fillets turn into crystal clear pieces, the fish meat produced in this way will be fresh, tender and tasty.
Li Xiaoqing was there to help her. She took out the sauerkraut from the pickle jar as Su Yue said, cut the sauerkraut into shreds, and then blanched it in boiling water for later use.
Li Xiaoqing had never heard of the pickled fish dish before, but she was already used to Su Yue making a dish that no one had heard of from time to time. When she heard Su Yue talk about making pickled fish, she was next to her help and looked forward to this dish.
Anyway, it must be delicious. Ever since Su Yue started cooking, the motivation for them to go to work every day is to eat the delicious food cooked by Su Yue. Just thinking about it makes people feel energetic. Before, she felt that going to the countryside was just a matter of enduring life, but now she feels that her life is pretty good.
Su Yue put salt, pepper, egg white, starch and other condiments into the fish fillets and spread them evenly with her hands, then set them aside to rest. Then she said to Li Xiaoqing, who was waiting eagerly, “It’s time to start the fire.”
“Hey, okay.!” Li Xiaoqing seemed to have heard some important instructions. She slithered behind the stove, stuffed the firewood and lit the fire, not to mention how neat she was.
Su Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She always felt that Li Xiaoqing was inexplicably excited when she heard her talk about making a fire.
Seeing that the pot was hot, Su Yue poured oil, added chives, ginger, garlic, etc., then added fish heads, fish tails, fish bones, skins, etc. and stir-fried. The alluring aroma immediately burst out in just this first step. The whole kitchen was filled with aroma, which made Li Xiaoqing sniff hard and make her saliva flow.
Not only Li Xiaoqing, but Wu Xiaoxiao, Wei Jia and Mao Lin were also unable to stay in the room due to the scent. They all ran to the kitchen door, but were too embarrassed to come in. They just lay at the door and sniffed, like children.
Su Yue almost laughed to death from them. She always felt that these people were going further and further away from being foodies.
Wu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and asked Su Yue eagerly: “Su Yue, are you going to make something delicious again? Why does it smells so aromatic?”
Su Yue put the fish fillets in her hands into the pot and replied: ” I’m making pickled fish. Let’s steam some corn pancakes and eat them tonight! It’s delicious.”
” Wow -” After Su Yue said this, everyone became excited and wanted to eat it right away.
Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were also driven out of the room by the delicious smell, and squeezed to the kitchen door, stretching their heads to squeeze in.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaoxiao and the other two quickly pushed them back to prevent them from looking into the kitchen.
Of course, Zhao Fang and Wu Xiaoxiao could not squeeze in. In the end, they were squeezed to the back and could not see what Su Yue was doing inside.
Zhao Fang was so angry that she jumped up and down, “Why are you squeezing me? This kitchen belongs to everyone, not yours, why don’t you let us in?”
Wu Xiaoxiao said “poof” to her, “Su Yue is cooking. They are all secret recipes. Are you trying to steal them by squeezing in like this? Are you shameless?”
Zhao Fang’s petty thoughts were exposed, but she refused to admit it, “She is just cooking a dish and calls it a secret recipe? Is there anything worth peeking at?”
Mao Lin stretched out her arms to block the kitchen door, “If you don’t care, then don’t go in and look, so as not to be misunderstood.”
Han Xiaoru was dissatisfied, “We can also use the kitchen, and we also want to make dinner. Why are you occupying it? Why can we only cook after you cook it?”
Wei Jia also asked. She opened her hands to prevent them from getting closer, rolled her eyes and said: “Who asked you to wait around? If we go into the kitchen, we will cook first. If you want to cook first, run faster next time.”
Zhao Fang and the two wanted to go again.
They heard Su Yue say in the kitchen: “Come in, I’m ready, let’s have dinner.”
As soon as the three of them heard this, they didn’t care about arguing with these two people, and turned around and squeezed into the kitchen. I can’t wait to pick up my chopsticks and start using them.
Now no one can stop Zhao Fang and the others. The two of them looked at each other, walked into the kitchen, looked at the food on the table, and smelled the fragrance in the air. They almost wanted to go up and grab some.
But Su Yue and the others didn’t take them to eat together at all, so they could only continue to cook their own rice porridge. Compared with Su Yue’s food, what they eat is simply pig food.
Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were both furious.
Su Yue was too lazy to care whether the two people were angry or not. She was looking at the system points panel. The pickled fish dish just now was judged to be B level by the system, and she got twenty points all of a sudden, which made her excited.
This is the highest level of food Su Yue has ever rated since she came here. She got twenty points all of a sudden, and she felt like she was about to get rich.
It would be great if there were more B-level or even A-level dishes, then the points would have to keep rising.
Su Yue felt that she seemed to have found the right path again, which was to obtain ingredients from people in the village. It’s a seller’s market now. Everything is in short supply. To buy anything, you need tickets. Even if she can make money by selling food, she can’t buy anything without enough tickets. And if she wants to buy anything, she has to go to the commune to buy it. Where does she have time to go to the commune every day.
The commune members here basically eat meat once every few months, and a family will go to the commune to buy only once every few months. She is very diligent in going there every few days. She is so diligent that people in the village whisper about her .
But she didn’t mind being called greedy, because she was indeed greedy anyway.
Su Yue thought, it would be great if she could buy ingredients from the villagers in the future. Even if there was nothing else, it would be nice to have more fish.
Thinking like this, she didn’t expect that it would actually come true again the next day.
Since many women went home yesterday and told about buying fish at a high price, many children stopped going to play wildly today and instead went to the river to catch fish. If they can catch fish, they can make money. Su Yue exchanged a lot of money.
A 3-year-old boy was lucky enough to catch a fish today. Without saying a word, he ran towards the place where Su Yue worked. When he ran to Su Yue, he opened his vest with a swipe and folded the contents inside. The fish that was still jumping alive was shown to her, “Sister Su Yue, I caught a fish, do you want to buy it?”
Su Yue looked at it and was happy. It was really a fish. It looked bigger than the one yesterday.
She was still thinking about whether she could get more fish, but she didn’t expect it to happen today.
Su Yue nodded quickly to the child, “If you want it, give it to me and I’ll give you the money.” She took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to the little boy.
The little boy’s eyes lit up. After taking the money, he immediately gave the vest in his hand to Su Yue along with the fish, saying, “Sister Su Zhiqing, use my vest to hold the fish, and just return the vest to me tomorrow.”
Before Su Yue could say anything, the little boy ran away like the wind. After meeting a group of children not far away, he couldn’t wait to show them the money he got from selling fish.
Su Yue vaguely heard a child saying: “My mother is right. Su Yue is really stupid and has a lot of money. It would be great if I could catch fish too.”
Although she is probably regarded as a fool by the whole village but Su Yue didn’t mind at all, and she didn’t spend any money or time to get fresh ingredients, so it was expensive for her to have fun.
So, after the pickled fish, Su Yue used the fish to make a dish of West Lake vinegar fish. Li Xiaoqing and the others ate it until they wanted to bite off their own tongues. While Su Yue was satisfied with the meal, she also gained a lot of points. Her points rate of increase is very impressive.
So, after two people in a row made money from Su Yue, everyone in the village knew that Su Yue was stupid and easy to cheat because they made a lot of money. The children went into the water to catch fish one after another. The parents of these children did not allow their children to play in the water , but now seeing that the child was going to catch fish and sell it to Su Yue, they no longer objected, but supported it.
Several adults also followed into the water to try their luck and see if they could catch fish. If they did, they would make a huge profit.
With so many people touching fish, even if the fish are few and difficult to touch, there are always one or two fish that are touched. This results in Su Yue receiving a fish sold to her door every day, ranging from pickled fish to West Lake vinegar fish. , then from West Lake vinegar fish to steamed fish, and then from steamed fish to boiled fish. .Anyway, Su Yue has made eighteen kinds of fish, and she will never get tired of it even if she eats it every day.
Su Yue had been cooking fish to earn points for many days in a row, so she stopped cooking food and selling it in the town. One was because she didn’t have time, and the other was because she was so angry with Han Aiguo that she deliberately didn’t go.
She worked hard every day to earn enough points to treat his leg, but this man cruelly rejected her, which hurt her heart. If she didn’t teach him a lesson, she would feel sorry for herself.
She must earn enough points to get the prescription as soon as possible. When the time comes, she will make him kneel down and sing Conquer! Hahaha
Just when Su Yue was busy running trains to amuse herself, the Han family finally started to murmur.
The third daughter-in-law of Han Lao asked
Han Aimin, “Fourth son, Su Yue hasn’t come to our house these days? She often came to cook food, you also didn’t went to town to sell food? What’s going on?”
Han Aimin shook his head, wondering, “No, Sister Su Yue didn’t come to our house to make food, so she definitely didn’t plan to sell food. Maybe something happened.”
The third daughter-in-law thought of something, her face changed, and she couldn’t help but said: “It’s not like Su Yue is selling the food herself or finding someone else to sell it. because she doesn’t want our fourth child to make money ?”
As soon as these words came out, The Han family is all surprised.
Looking at her calmly, he felt that what she said was possible. After all, many people could do this job, and it didn’t have to be Han Aimin.
But Han Aimin retorted: “No, since Sister Su Yue said it, she won’t let me do it for no reason. Sister Su Yue is not that kind of person.”
Han’s third daughter-in-law curled her lips, “Then why haven’t we seen each other for so many days? She’s gone.”
Everyone looked at each other, no one could tell what was going on.
Only Han Aiguo lowered his head and didn’t say a word from beginning to end.
Old Mrs. Han glanced at Han Aiguo and scolded everyone with a fierce face: “Don’t talk nonsense here. Even if Xiao Su doesn’t come to our family to cook, we can’t say anything. It’s a matter of love that people help our family. It’s okay if they don’t. It’s unreasonable to accuse others, let me tell you, even if you meet Xiao Su, don’t act blindly, otherwise I will teach you a good look!”
The Han family members all said no, even if they muttered in their hearts, they did not dare to say it.
After dinner, the Han family all gathered in the yard to enjoy the cool air and talk. Only Han Aiguo stayed in the house.
Old Mrs. Han knocked on his door. After hearing the answer, she opened the door and went in. Then she saw him sitting at the table not knowing what he was doing.
Sure enough, he didn’t sleep.
Old Mrs. Han walked up to him and patted his back angrily, and said: “Did you make Xiao Su angry, so she did’t want to come?”
Han Aiguo pursed his lips and said calmly eaid: “Mom, what are you talking about? Why can I make Su yue angry?”
Old Mrs. Han slapped him again, “Don’t pretend to me, others don’t know that I know, you have been hiding from her during this time. I am an old woman who has discovered it, how can Xiao Su still not discover it? It’s strange that Xiao Su is not angry with you!”
Han Aiguo opened his mouth, not knowing that his mother even discovered this.
Old Mrs. Han sighed, pulled a stool next to him and sat down. She said sincerely: “Eldest, you are born from your mother. Others don’t understand you, but your mother does. You are hiding from her , and Xiao Su can see it, Mom knows that you like Xiao Su, but you don’t dare to say it because of your leg injury, right?”
“Mom, I’m don’t…”
However, before Han Aiguo could say anything, he was beaten by Mrs. Han. He said, “Don’t tell me that you don’t like her. It’s useless to lie to your mother. If you can, just lie to yourself.”
Han Aiguo lowered his head, his eyes were filled with bitterness, and even his mouth was bitter. He couldn’t say anything anymore.
Mrs. Han felt distressed when she saw him like this, and couldn’t help but persuade her: “Eldest, Mom knows you don’t want to hurt a good girl, but Mom can see that Xiao Su also likes you, I can tell by the look in her eyes . Why does she wants to help our family? Isn’t it because she likes you? This girl is so attentive to you, which means that she doesn’t care about your legs. She doesn’t dislike you, so why are you hiding from her?”
Han Aiguo was silent for a long time
and said: “Mom, Su Yue is a good girl. She deserves a better man to take good care of her. I can’t give her a good life like this. It will only drag her down. I can’t be so selfish.”
“You kid, The leg must not be cured…” Old Mrs. Han couldn’t help but shed tears, “Mother wanted to bring you and Xiao Su together at the beginning, and I was just thinking, if Xiao Su can like you , It would be great to have her as daughter-in-law. Later, when I found out that Xiao Su also liked you, you don’t know how happy Mom was. But you…you said why do you have to be so hard on yourself? Can’t you be nicer to yourself? You’ve obviously met a girl you like, and she likes you. Why do you have to push her away? ah. The worst that can happen is that in the future, if you try your best to treat her well, your mother will also be good to her, so that she won’t be wronged. Isn’t this okay? ”
Han Aiguo closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, stop talking. Just leave this matter alone. Su Yue and I won’t be possible. ”
Knowing that he was a stubborn ass, Mrs. Han was so angry that her heart ached, “Okay, okay, just be stubborn. I think this girl will never talk to you again after being hurt by you, what are you going to do? Xiao Su is very good-looking, has a good temperament, is good at craftsmanship, and can make money. Who wouldn’t like such a good girl? If you don’t like it, some other people will like it. When Xiao Su is chased by others, you will regret it !”
Han Aiguo didn’t say anything, but as long as you saw the horrible veins on his hands under the table, you could tell the pain in his heart at the moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After harvesting sweet potatoes for half a month, this day finally ended the harvest. After finishing the sweet potato field, there was nothing major. The members who had been busy all autumn could finally take a breather and have some time off from farming.
Su Yue’s fear of being controlled by the blade was finally over, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. She was glad in her heart that she was not injured by the knife, which was considered lucky.
The brigade gave the members a day off, just in time for the market meeting the next day. Many members planned to go to the commune to buy something, and Su Yue had not been there for a long time. She planned to go to the market with Li Xiaoqing and the others the next day, and buy some delicious food for the ceremony.
Thinking of not having to go to work the next day but to buy delicious food, Su Yue felt comfortable physically and mentally, and slept particularly soundly.
But in the middle of the night, Su Yue felt something cold dripping on her face in a daze. More and more, it became colder and colder, waking her up from her sleep. She opened her eyes in a daze. Opening her eyes, she heard the sound of rain falling in her ears.
It was raining!
Su Yue was startled and climbed up from the bed. Then she found that water was leaking from the top of her head. Water was leaking from the roof down. It hit them in the face.
Li Xiaoqing and Wu Xiaoxiao were also woken up by the rain, and they screamed, “The house is leaking!”
