Miao'an's farming life

Chapter 6 Thank You

Miao An is very helpless now, he just described how delicious boiled fish is to Yoyo at lunch, and the brat started pestering him to make fish for him, originally he wanted to make it for dinner, but Yoyo hugged him Don't let go.Miao An said that the enemy was too strong and he was about to be "dead in battle".

At the time of the stalemate, Qiuwen came.There was a market in the town today, Miao An wanted to join in the fun, but was unanimously opposed by Qiu Wen and Qiu Amo, who rejected his request to accompany him because he was not in good health and needed to recuperate to meet the busy farming season, so he could only take what he needed Entrust the purchased things to Qiuwen.Now that Qiuwen came back, it happened to distract Youyou's attention. In Miao An's eyes, Qiuwen who walked in from the door had a background of holy light.

"Qiuwen, you're here! Is there anything interesting in the market?" Miao An asked impatiently, and offered a cup of tea.

Qiuwen put down the bulging sack on his shoulder, took the water and poured it down, "Fun? Tsk... I don't have time to go shopping, but there are quite a lot of people." Putting down the water glass, he glanced at the fish in the corner, "Eh? Anzi, where did this fish come from? It's quite big."

"My brother and I went to catch it in the river. There were two of them. I gave that one to brother Mo. My brother said it was a thank you gift. My brother made breakfast for brother Mo and said he would make boiled fish for me! "Yuyou got very excited when he mentioned fish, Miao An couldn't help but touch his forehead, this must be a foodie.

"Oh? Brother Mo? Make breakfast?" Qiu Wen stroked his chin and looked at Miao An maliciously. As far as he knew, the Brother Mo Youyou was talking about should be Mo Su who just came to the village. When he came yesterday, Miao An Anzheng took care of Yoyo's injuries, so he also knew about Yoyo and Erpang going to someone's house to play, but when did they know each other enough to make breakfast?

Miao An was speechless, and slapped him on the head. The more he got along, the more he could discover Qiu Wen's funny nature. Just by looking at his expression, he knew that his gossip fire was burning again.

"I just want to help you because he can't cook. He doesn't care about Yoyo. The fish is just a snack." Moreover, when he realized that Mo Su was the only one who couldn't cook, he felt deeply that he couldn't cook. Giving away live fish is really stupid. "But seriously, why is he alone?"

"Well, in fact, he is also a hard-working man. I also heard about it when I went to town today. Mo Su's Ahma and Dad each had their own sweethearts, but they were made into a couple by the parents of the two. Mo Su After giving birth, he was in poor health and died when Mo Su was four years old. Two years later, Master Mo married the current Lin Zhan and had another son, Mo Hong. Lin Zhan treated Mo Su well, but Mo Su was not his own. Yes, he was competing with his own son for the family property, and in private, he quietly provoked the relationship between Master Mo and Mo Su. Mo Su seemed to have such a temper since he was a child, and he was cold. Hou, this has become more and more alienated. Now that Mo Su comes to the village to manage the property, it is probably the result of Lin Zhan's pillow wind. Otherwise, Master Mo would not be so cruel. After all, this is basically abandonment. But I heard that Shen Zhan is in charge of the backyard, so Mo Su doesn't have a good time at home. The servants all watch the food, so what about the son, who lives as hard as he is not favored. It is reasonable for him to come here. People followed, but they all thought that Mo Su couldn't go back, who would want to follow him." Qiu Wen said so much in one breath, his mouth was dry, and he poured himself another glass of water to drink.

"No wonder..." No wonder he has to cook by himself, no wonder Mo Su is so indifferent to others, it should be because few people treat him well, he is gone at such a young age, his father is not even close, and he is squeezed by his step-a-mo, what if It's hard to be sunny.

"Oh, let's not talk about this. Didn't Yoyo say you want to make fish? Get it now, I want to eat it too. Hurry up." Qiu Wen also began to urge.

Yep, another foodie.Since it was what the people wanted, Miao An temporarily let go of his feelings about Mo Su's experience, got up and prepared to cook fish, and Youyou cheered immediately.

After taking the fish out of the pot and making it faint, he disemboweled and scraped off the scales to remove the internal organs, and chopped off the fish head and tail. Miao An thought that the fish head could be kept for cooking fish head soup.Cut the fish into butterfly slices one deep and one shallow, and marinate with salt and ginger. If there is no cooking wine, we have to make do with it.The fish was marinated here, Miao An cleaned the pot, asked Qiu Wen to watch the fire, and asked You You to grab a handful of cabbage and wash them, add water to the pot, put some oil and salt to blanch the cabbage, and then take it out for later use.Brush the pot again, put in an appropriate amount of oil, and when the oil is hot, put in sliced ​​dried chili, ginger, garlic, pepper, and green onion. After frying the aroma, add water and salt. After the water boils, put the marinated fish in, then When it is boiled, it can be taken out of the pot, poured on the blanched cabbage before, and Miao An sauteed the oil with dried chili, onion, ginger, garlic and pepper and poured it on the fish, and the boiled fish is ready.The meat is smooth and tender, oily but not greasy, there is no fishy smell, only the fresh fragrance of fish, and the red peppers in the pot are bright and attractive, which makes people appetite.

Qiu Wen and You You rushed to taste it, and they were full of praise. They wanted to eat it anxiously, but they were stopped by Miao An.He found two bowls, paused, added another one, divided the small bowl of fish into three portions, asked Qiu Wen to take one back, and Qiu Ahmao would eat too.Qiuwen smiled meaningfully at Sanfenyu, but Miao An pretended not to see him and pushed him out the door.

"Yuyou, you eat first, I'll send this to the east, and I'll be right back." Miao An said, holding up a bowl of fish.

"Yeah, go ahead, brother, I'll keep it for you." Yoyo replied while stuffing fish into her mouth.

In fact, Miao An didn't know what was going on, seeing them eating fish so happily, he thought of Mo Su who wanted to cook in the morning but made himself so embarrassed, so he shared an extra portion, they are all neighbors, he thought .

Knocking on the closed door, Miao quietly waited for an answer. After a while, footsteps were getting closer and closer. With a "squeak", the vermilion door that was already mottled in front of him was opened. He saw Mo Su's faint s face.As if he didn't expect to come back, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his previous calm.

"What's the matter?" Miao An couldn't help but rubbed his ears when a magnetic low voice sounded.

"Ah, I made boiled fish, and I'll share some with you. If it's not good, you can't dislike it." Miao An stuffed the bowl into Mo Su's hand, turned around and left with a big smile. It's an awkward situation, so I don't want him to think I'm pitying him or looking at a joke.

Mo Su was holding the bowl, the boiled fish inside exuded a tempting aroma, and the red pepper looked very appetizing. Thinking of the breakfast in the morning, he looked at Miao An's back with confusion in his eyes, and looked down. head thoughtful.After a while, he turned around and closed the door, smelling the spicy smell of boiled fish, Mo Su felt a lot lighter.

When Miao An came home, Yoyo was staring at the bowl, like a kitten that couldn't eat any fish. He looked at the half bowl of fish left in the bowl, and felt very warm in his heart. He walked over and patted his head, "Eat all of them." Come on, I'm not hungry yet, let's see how hungry you are."

"No, brother, you can eat too." After speaking, he pushed the bowl towards Miao An vigorously.

"Okay, I eat, I eat, let's eat together." Miao An took the bowl with a smile, picked up a chopstick and ate it, and then fed it to Yoyo.

Youyou ditchedly opened his mouth to take it, but didn't realize that Miao An hadn't eaten the piece except the one he ate at the beginning.

In the evening, when the sky was about to darken, Miao An took Youyou to pull weeds in the vegetable field behind the house. He was lamenting that he would not be able to be so leisurely when he started harvesting rice tomorrow, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Youyou hurriedly dropped the grass in her hand and ran away, and Miao An felt very relieved that she didn't step on any vegetables.

"Eh? Brother Mo? Brother, Brother Mo is here!" Yoyo shouted loudly, and Miao An could hear it clearly from behind the house.

Mo Su?What is he here for?Oh, by the way, his own bowl is still with him.Miao An stood up, patted the dirt on his body, turned to the front of the house, and saw Mo Su standing in the yard with a washed bowl, but in the other hand he was holding the fish he had sent earlier.

"This is?" Miao An was puzzled.

Mo Su lifted the fish and shook it, just like when he gave it to him.

"Thank you."
