Chapter 54 - Learn to cook and medicine fish
“That mother wanted to marry someone like Yue Changlu. Her craftsmanship is so good, even if she is doing some food and food, can she maintain her livelihood?” You Jin didn’t expect that Su’s background had such a background. In fact, it was the great-granddaughter of the former imperial chef! Who dares to believe it? A great-granddaughter of a former imperial chef had fallen into the countryside and had to marry a domestic violence man for 15 years before escaping!
Su Shi sighed, thinking that after the death of his father and mother, the uncle who had always been in harmony with his family had eaten the most out of nowhere, regardless of family, and half married and sold their sisters. As Su’s appearance was still a little bit, she “sold” into Yue’s house at a good price, but her two sisters didn’t know where they were sold, and the world was separated for ten years.
Seeing that Su’s face was sad and silent, Yu Jin knew that this was a reminder of her sad old days, and quickly changed the subject: “Nian’s craft is so good, or wait for us to have money, open in the city How about a restaurant? “
Su Shi smiled at her with a smile: “My body, barely give your sister a few cooking and return, where can I come to the restaurant?”
“Mother teach me!” The young pearl on the side looked at Su Shi brightly: “When I learn, I can open a restaurant in the city!”
This is a good idea. “But Sister, you can’t even braise the rice …” This is not only for You Bao, but even You Ling You Luo has come to expose her scars.
“What you can’t learn is not!” You Zhu slapped on the dinner table with a slap, her eyes firmly looked at Su Shi: “Mother teach me! I can definitely learn!”
Su saw that she was so determined, but she also knew that the cooking skills of her third daughter were really difficult to tell, so she turned her attention to young Jin and asked her for help.
Young Jin slowly put down the chopsticks and nodded slightly: “You Zhu has this kind of heart is a good thing, diligence can make up for it, let her follow her mother to help start every day, even if you can’t learn, it can help you reduce some of the burden. Not? “
After getting the elder sister’s approval, Youzhu proudly glanced at several of her sisters who said: “You are waiting, I will definitely make the best food in the world for you!”
Everyone on the scene was amused by the words of Youzhu, and the sisters were playing together. At this moment, no one had thought that a “terrorist” who would only set the kitchen on fire would actually come to learn to cook.
Youjin is very optimistic about this matter, even if you can’t learn a few things, it is a good thing to remember the recipe of the master chef anyway. It can only be like this now, and it is also possible to use it as a heirloom when it is necessary to write down all the recipes remembered by Su Shi in the future.

Youzhu is an impatient and a real person. When she said she wanted to learn cooking, she really started to follow Su’s.
But the facts are somewhat different from the imagination. When the young pearls took the third piece of fried black charcoal from the pot, the unrecognizable and unbearable “fish”, Rao was the young gold who originally supported her decision. “This …” Although you can’t compare Su Jin’s cooking, you can eat it right? How do you do it? Fried the fish into a piece of black charcoal when she and Su’s eyes never left her? ? ?
Su’s tears are also a little bit crying, his dad who was rejected by his grandfather for his talents did not know how much better than Youzhu! This is the third fish to waste!
Young Pearl pours the “fish” into the courtyard outside the kitchen without expression, and the four big dog pups think that they are delicious, and they circle around the young pearl excitedly. As a result, it looks like a black charcoal. It’s all gone.
“Puff ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” You Jin couldn’t help it. You Zhu’s skill was so bad that even the four doggies who were least picky eaters were disgusted.
Several of the sisters who were watching in the courtyard all smiled and leaned forward. You Bao, whose tears came out of her smile, persuaded her tears while rubbing her eyes: “Sister Sister, why don’t we change business?”
The more this is, the more reluctant Youzhu stomped her feet: “I don’t believe I can’t do it!” Generously turned back to the kitchen and continued to poison the next fish.
Young Jin, who was holding the door frame and panting, rubbed her stomach with some pain. She hadn’t laughed so much in years? After slowing down for a while, I went into the kitchen again and stood next to the juvenile bead who gnawed his teeth and slaughtered the fish. It ’s harder to eat. If the small setbacks before me ca n’t bear it, let ’s give up now. ”
Young Pearl paused with a knife to scrape the fish scales, and then chopped off the fish tail with her teeth: “I don’t, elder sister, I can do it well!”
Youjin hopes that every sister can learn something. Since Youzhu is so firm in her thoughts, she will not stop her, she laughs and exaggerates: “At least you are killing fish better than before, this It is also a big improvement! “
Sue sighed and whispered to the young Jin who came out of the kitchen: “Fortunately, the fish and the food at home are not bought with silver, otherwise I don’t know how much silver to practise every day!”
“It’s okay, since you have this kind of heart, you don’t have the taste of mountains and seas, but there are a few fish and bamboo shoots. The water in the mountains is everywhere. Our family can afford it.” You Jin said to Xiao You with a smile. A few words.
The coriander roots dug from the bamboo forest before the young gold have been dried and ground into powder, and they have also tried the medicinal fish in a small range, and the effect is not bad. So later every time when I climbed the mountain, I dug a lot of coriander flowers back, and Su Shi laughed that the coriander flowers on the mountain would have been finished by her.

Carrying a large bamboo basket, holding a fishing net bought by a merchant from the south, and a net bag for fishing, taking advantage of the water-like night, the sisters of young gold, young silver and young pearls have grown into a momentum The full dog pup, quietly holding a lantern, went to a small pool on the upper Wuliqiao River.
The small water pond is located in the depression between the two bamboo forests. The water of the Wuliqiao River flows from other places, and then flows in the direction of Wuliqiao after circling. Said it is a lake, the area is not so large, only less than half an acre, the villagers nearby call this small water pool called Luoshuitan.
The night shrouded the ground, and the sister Yinyinyouzhu followed a pup, holding a lantern, and watched her liver jump happily, still a little afraid: “Sister, do we have to come out to fish at night?”
Young Jin, who was in the lead, inadvertently “huh” sounded: “It’s too dazzling for us to go back with so many fish in the day.” It was just right at night, but just in case, young Jin also had a chopstick in his waist. If something really happens, it should be an emergency.
On April night, the gurgling river was still a little cool. Youjin handed over one end of the fishing net to the sisters Yinyou Youzhu, and then she took off her clothes and took the other end of the fishing net. Go to the opposite bank, then tie the extended hemp rope tightly to the big rock by the river.
The night was full of light, and the small lanterns could not make out the surrounding environment. Young Jin searched for some dead branches and lit the bonfire. The dried bamboos were very good to burn, and the flames flew into the tall, flames against the fire soon. The sisters’ faces were all glowing red, and the surrounding environment of Luoshuitan was also much clearer.
After blocking the water outlet of Luoshuitan with a fishing net, Young Jin held a lantern and went around to the inlet of Luoshuitan, poured all the powder of Coriander root that he collected during this time, and then the three sisters waited quietly Drug effect onset.
“Elder sister, this sink is so big, can these medicinal herbs really work?” Youzhu looked at the gurgling water surface without any movement, and was worried that the medicinal herbs would not work.
The young gold is also the first time such a large area of medicinal fish, because of the fear of insufficient efficacy, it also fully doubled the powder of coriander root. He looked at the surface of the water with deep eyes: “Wait a minute, the medicinal effect is not as fast.”
Sure enough, the sisters waited for a quarter of an hour with their eyes wide open, and the originally calm water surface of Luoshuitan began to float up with white-bellied fish! The sisters suddenly lighted up, and the young silver pearls used the nets tied to the wooden sticks to fish one by one into the back basket, and the young gold went directly into the water outlet blocked by the fishing net to pick a fish over a pound. .
Luoshuitan has not dried up all year round, and ordinary villagers will not come here to fish, so there are many big fishes at the bottom of the pool, five or six pounds of carp and grass carp are everywhere, and young gold did not expect that there are so many. Harvest, but half a quarter of a hour, all the baskets from the sisters’ backs are full, but there are many big fish floating in the water, and no one wants to let go of those fish in vain! They even used the rattan on the shore to wear their gills, and slipped several big fish in their hands.
There is really no way. Youjin sighed and said: “Put the small ones back. Let’s get bigger today, let’s come back next time!”
In the end, the sisters carried her home in a heavy basket, not forgetting to put a wet sack on the basket to prevent the fish from dehydration and death.
Su’s coaxed a few small children, and then kept watching anxiously for the daughters to return. She has also heard that Coriander root powder can be used to cure fish. How could anyone think that the eldest daughter would go to medicine fish at night? Partial students can’t help themselves with their weak bodies, so they have to worry at home. Finally I heard something outside the courtyard: “Mother, we are back!”
Hearing the daughters’ joyful cries of the door, Su Shi was relieved, and quickly walked over to open the door: “You are really too courageous!” But after all, he quickly helped the daughters put the basket down , And urged a few children to take a hot bath: “This body is dripping, I don’t know if you thought you fell into the river!”
Young Pearl threw out her **** guilty conscience, put down the basket and followed the two sisters to take a bath. Su sent the three daughters away and noticed that the fish brought back by the three of them was only three or four pounds, the big one said that there were seven or eight pounds of big fish!
Seeing that the drug effect had passed, the big fish swimming crowded in the big tub prepared by the Su family couldn’t help murmuring to himself: “This fish is too big!”
The young Jin who came out of the shower saw Su’s face in surprise and grinned: “Ma’am, there are many fish of this size in the sink, I think I will go to the village to see if If there are small boats, we can use the messenger to give the big fish in the sink to the pot! “
Today, the young Jin sisters only caught more than 20 fishes back, and they did n’t reach one-fifth of the sinking lake. The young Jin naturally gave birth to the idea of going back to the boat to medicine the fish. Think about the next moon. The fish turning over the white belly are all silver!
