With a fierce look on his face, Lin Chou couldn't help but shrink back.

Sister-in-law Hu has a fierce personality. No matter who she treats, she may only show her fragile side when it comes to Calabash Baby.

Uncle Hu is different. In the words of an old neighbor in the alley,

"This man's brain has been broken for several years."

Well, the main reason why they insist on thinking this way is that Mrs. Hu's appearance and bust are as hot as her personality.

All the young and old men in the alley wanted to take a hammer and give Uncle Hu a try with their own hands, and see what kind of material his brain was made of, and how it ended up like this.

In short, everyone is anxious, except Uncle Tiger, who is confused.

After entering Mrs. Hu's yard, she took out a round bamboo cage from behind a huge soy sauce vat and said with a smile,

"Look, do you recognize what this is?"

Jiang Nan made a sound,

"This is the sky...ah, isn't it...a wild goose?"

In the cage was a quite large goose, with scaly gray feathers all over its body and two eye-catching black spots on its head. It was chirping energetically - it was indeed somewhat similar to a swan.

Lin Chou was surprised,

"Bar-headed goose? How...how did you catch it..."

However, it is difficult to deal with anything with wings, no matter whether it is a strange beast or not. Lin Chou could not be surprised when Mrs. Hu suddenly came up with such a rare thing.

Sister-in-law Hu looked at Jiang Nan, then turned and gave Lin Chou a huge roll of her eyes.

"Isn't the bar-headed goose also a wild goose? It just shows how much you know!"

Lin Chou was speechless.

"A few days ago, a broth vendor in the market brought it to me. He couldn't pay the soy sauce bill. It was not easy for me to accept it for a few days, and I was embarrassed not to accept it."

Sister-in-law Hu has many long-term buyers, and her family's conditions are better than Uncle Hu's.

Lin Chou understood,

"Good things, good things, indeed rare good things."

Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Hu said,

"What a good thing this is, I want to show you this bag."

A small gauze bag, after opening it, contained a handful of shriveled black dumplings with a faint fragrance of mushrooms.

Lin Chou couldn't help but open her mouth wide,

"Agaric mushroom? The non-poisonous kind??"

Sister-in-law Hu smiled and said nothing.

Lin Chou raised her thumb,

"It's two words, Jingui. If this thing is sent to Bafanglou, it won't be worth selling you a big vat of soy sauce."

In today's environment, it is not easy to find such non-toxic fungi. Even if you pick up ten pounds of mushrooms, you may not be able to find two that are non-toxic and harmless.

Sister-in-law Hu said,

"I picked this up from under the chestnut tree that someone planted behind me after the last rain. I divided some among the family and tried them all. They are not poisonous."

Sister-in-law Hu put the mushroom to her nose and smelled it.

"I used some of it to make soy sauce, and it tasted good. I didn't want to use the rest, so I just cooked it with the wild geese."

Lin Chou nodded,

"Let me see what's in that box first. It hasn't been opened yet."

Jiang Nan came over excitedly,

"What's so good...wow..."

What Jiang Nan was "ooooing" about was not what was in the box. The box hadn't been opened yet. What she was "ooooing" about was that something dark suddenly fell from the sky.

It seemed that it fell down very fast, but the little thing turned over and stood firmly next to the box, and even the sound was as light as a ball of wool falling to the ground.

"Meow~"

The little thing licked its paws and shouted in protest.

Xiaohei, the caracal cat, is confirmed to be a cat that cannot be killed by a fall.

Lin Chou raised his head, and there seemed to be a few dark clouds floating over the bright light.

"What is this for..."

There is no doubt that one of the dark clouds (probably the one at the back and floating the slowest) is billowing, looking towards the dark sea.

——This fat guy doesn’t get dizzy anymore?

"Wow, is this your cat..."

Little stars almost appeared in Jiang Nan's eyes.

Hug him.

Xiao Hei is also a person with no temper. He got used to flattening and rounding the cow that Gungun's big-breasted sister gave him on the mountain, and he has no idea what resistance is.

It’s just that this cat’s eyes always give people a very unruly look:

Well, he's a killer.

Um, don't be sentimental.

Well, no money either.

The box was opened and red spread over a large area.

Sister-in-law Hu and Jiang Nan said in surprise,

"What kind of fish is this... Such big eyes... So bright... It looks so beautiful..."

In the box were neatly stacked a row of twelve big-eyed fish that were bright red with a little bit of gold. The eyes took up almost one-third of the head. By the way, the other third was the mouth.

.

A long red "line" grows on the tip of their dorsal fin, which looks very strange. Perhaps because the lower level of the alley was covered with ice shortly after they came out of the water, there are a few energetic ones that are not dead yet, and they appear small from time to time.

Struggle a bit.

Lin Chou thought for a while,

"It's red goldeneye snapper, a very beautiful deep-sea fish. Of course, it's also very delicious."

Sister-in-law Hu said,

"I've never seen such a fish before. Isn't it very expensive?"

Lin Chou smiled,

"They were given by others, I don't know, but I'm just going to eat them today."

Xiao Hei fell into deep thinking the moment he opened the box, his pink nose quivering as he searched inside the box, and one or two thoughts that might be called "doubts" flashed through his very spiritual pupils from time to time.

,

"Meow?"

Emmmm, this cat whose diet is limited to birds feels like its worldview is being severely impacted.

The more Mrs. Hu looks at it, the more she likes it.

"How can you be willing to eat such a festive fish? Can you still keep it alive?"

Lin Chou said,

"You can't feed deep-sea fish even if you catch them."

"I heard that their active range is usually 500 to 800 meters below the sea surface, and there are rarely large-scale fish schools. Captain Xiao seems to have gained a lot from his trip to the sea."

Sister-in-law Hu soaked the wild goose mushrooms and started to kill the poor bar-headed goose. She poured water and plucked the hair out neatly and said,

"You can do it. Your sister-in-law has never seen this fish before. She doesn't know how to eat it. Why don't you just stew it?"

Lin Chou scratched his head,

"Most of them are just sashimi. The red sea bream is a relatively delicate ingredient, so it doesn't require a particularly complicated preparation."

Sister-in-law Hu said,

"You have the final say, sister-in-law is just waiting to eat."

Jiang Nan: "Me too."

Lin Chou smiled and said,

"There's enough time. It's very simple. Just go back to my house and get a tool later."

The stove at Sister Hu's house is the same as Uncle Hu's house. It is built in the yard. It doesn't rain twice a year and a half. It is very convenient to use. What is burned in the stove is chestnut husks, which are very hard and prickly.
