011 Pig's nose
Zhao Yuanle led the cow and held the fish in his hand, walking on the field ridges covered with tender green grass buds.
At this time, the fields that have not yet been plowed are all green, which are the seeds scattered during the rice harvest and the new seedlings that have grown later.
But this kind of seedling is useless.
Although Zhao Yuanle has never done any farm work, he often went to his grandmother's house when he was a child. He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running around, so he still knows this.
At this moment, these greens are reflected in the clear paddy fields, and the breeze blows, and Zhao Yuanle can't help but show a relaxed face.
The view here is so nice…
Mo Qingshan followed Zhao Yuanle, one in front and one behind, one tall and one short, but the frequency of walking became inexplicably the same.
Seeing Zhao Yuanle arrive home and walk into the yard, Mo Qingshan said hello to Zhao Yuanle again.
"You live here, right? My sister's house is on the back of this mountain col."
Zhao Yuanle nodded.
"I understand."
But she won't remember it at all, and she won't go find him for anything anyway.
Mo Qingshan walked over there, and when he turned the corner, he couldn't help but look back at Zhao Yuanle, but he didn't see Zhao Yuanle who had already walked in.
He Ju and Zhao Sancheng were sorting newly harvested herbs in the main room. Zhao Sancheng was holding a scale and doing calculations.
Zhao Yuanlan took Zhao Yuan to play with him, and he saw the fish in Zhao Yuanle's hand at a glance.
"Second sister, did you go fishing in the river?"
He Ju looked over and said, "Which fish is this?"
Zhao Yuanle scooped up some water, put the fish into the wooden basin, and then went out to lead the cow back to the pen.
After doing this, Zhao Yuanle answered this question.
"It's a man named Mo Qingshan. He said he lives in Mojiagou and came over today to deliver something to his sister.
Oh, his sister lives in our mountain col. He went fishing just now and saw me and asked me to show him something, so he gave me some fish as a gift."
Zhao Yuanlan was curious.
"And this is a good thing, you can eat fish today!"
As she said that, she took Zhao Yuantong and clapped her hands together.
He Ju gave Zhao Yuanlan a disgusted look.
"You just know how to eat. You're such a big man and you don't know anything. I don't think you'll be able to get married in the future."
Zhao Yuanlan snorted.
"Forget it if you can't get married, dad said he will support me from now on."
Zhao Sancheng chuckled.
"You still have to learn what you should learn."
He Ju looked at Zhao Yuanle: "That Mo Qingshan may be the younger brother of Miao Shuiwa's mother-in-law. Isn't his mother-in-law's name Mo Qiuer?"
Zhao Yuanle looked at the fish in the basin, and then looked at He Ju: "Sanniang, let's eat fish tonight."
He Ju came over and fiddled with the fish, and nodded when he saw that they were all stabbed to death.
"Get the crucian carp to make porridge for your father and your brother to eat. The other two silver carp will be cooked and eaten."
Zhao Yuanle was in high spirits: "Okay."
Zhao Yuanlan: "Okay!"
Zhao Yuantong looked at his two sisters, raised his little fist with a smile, and shouted.
"good!"
He Ju looked at Zhao Yuantong with a smile: "Our two sons are so smart."
Zhao Yuanle was speechless when He Ju looked at the strong motherly love radiating from Zhao Yuantong.
As for...
She was quite puzzled by the extent to which women in this era cared about their male children.
Zhao Sancheng took the scale and continued to classify the herbs. He asked He Ju to get the fish.
"You go get the fish, Lele come over and help me."
Zhao Yuanle exclaimed and went over to help Zhao Sancheng sort them.
The herbs in front of me are all dried, harvested by Zhao Sancheng and Zhao Ercheng a few days ago.
It's spring now, herbs are still in short supply, and they are more expensive.
After the classification and calculation are completed, Zhao Sancheng will send these herbs to Zhao Dacheng in the county.
Usually, if people in Shan'ao and nearby villages want to make some extra money, they will get these common herbs and sell them to the Zhao family.
Now when the herbal medicine is not enough, Zhao Sancheng and Zhao Ercheng will take the initiative to collect it from nearby homes.
Zhao Yuanle took a breath and found that the smell of these dried herbs was very strong to her.
After thinking about it for a moment, she knew that it was Pig Nose's ability that was at work.
Everyone says that a dog's nose is as good as a dog's nose. In fact, a pig's nose is more powerful than a dog's. Some European countries train specialized pigs to look for truffles, and a dog's nose is not as useful as a pig's nose at this time.
At this time, Zhao Yuanle's nose smelled different herbal smells, and they were very different.
This kind of sensory stimulation made Zhao Yuanle's hand speed very smooth in the process of classifying herbs.
There were so many herbs wrapped in them that she didn't even need to open them. She could tell them apart by just smelling them. Even if there were other herbs mixed in, she could smell the subtle smell and then accurately pick out the herbs.
Zhao Sancheng looked at it and noticed this about Zhao Yuanle.
He was curious: "Lele, you have memorized these things by yourself for a long time, and you know them more clearly than your father."
Zhao Yuanle chuckled.
"It turns out I remember it clearly. If you don't want to do it, just pretend that I don't know how to do it, and you won't ask me to do it."
When Zhao Sancheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"You…"
He felt that his niece was really stupid, so he said this directly.
The amount of herbs was not too much to begin with, so they were all done quickly. Zhao Sancheng kept the accounts by himself there, and Zhao Yuanle was no longer needed, so he let Zhao Yuanle play by himself.
Zhao Yuanle ran out to the yard and saw He Ju holding a knife and a wooden basin. There was a big bamboo basket next to it. Zhao Yuanlan and Zhao Yuantong were squatting next to them and watching carefully.
Zhao Yuanle also came over to watch He Ju kill the fish.
By this time, He Ju had already taken care of the crucian carp, had also killed the other big fish, and was killing the last fish.
The big kitchen knife was very nimble and obedient in He Ju's hand. He cut the belly of the fish with one knife. He Ju stretched out his fingers to remove the gills and passed the kitchen knife twice to clean the fish scales.
He Ju took out the contents of the fish's belly, leaving the fish soaked in it, and scooped out water to rinse the fish completely.
"Okay, Lele is going to light the fire, and we'll cook the fish."
Zhao Yuanle: "Cook both?"
He Ju nodded: "Well, I cooked everything today."
Zhao Yuanle: "How about boiling one and braised the other?"
"Braised in soy sauce?" He Ju pursed her lips: "I don't even have rock sugar. If you want to braise in braised sauce, it's just boiled. They're not the same food."
Zhao Yuanlan on the side couldn't help but put her chin up and pursed her lips.
"Oh, I want to eat a whole fish. I want it on a big plate, like a banquet."
He Ju was not angry: "You eat farts, but you know how to eat them. I'm too lazy to do it, so I'll do it alone."
After a few words of disdain for Zhao Yuanlan, He Ju walked to the kitchen and started processing the fish.
Zhao Yuanle went in to light the fire, and Zhao Yuanlan and Zhao Yuantong followed in and sat by the fire together.
Next to him, He Ju was chopping fish on a tree-stump-like chopping board with a kitchen knife.
After finishing it quickly, He Ju found the local ginger she grew here, washed it, sliced it and threw it in, and then sprinkled it with salt and some corn starch.
