Chapter 1806: Happy and Forgetful 4
Lu Erxiong weighed the pros and cons and finally agreed to Wang Cuilan's arrangement.
As for the people who watched him and Wang Cuilan bargaining, they didn't remind him that they would slaughter a pig tomorrow. Everyone was eating the slaughtered pig dish in a big pot, so it was impossible to cook braised carp alone!
Zhou Zhou brought the ten kilograms of fish he received and raised them in the water tank together. Lu Erxiong cheered.
"Erxiong, what are you happy about?" Zhou Zhou felt very strange.
Lu Erxiong pointed at the three extra fish in the water tank, "Because I can have two more meals!"
Zhou Zhou laughed immediately.
Wang Cuilan said to Zhou Zhou: "I looked and found that these fish may not all be able to be raised. They will not taste good if they die. Choose the ones that are not so lively first, chop them into large pieces, apply salt, and it will be cold, so they can be kept for a long time."
Zhou Zhou agreed: "Everyone said that it might snow at night. Collect two buckets of clean snow and freeze the basin in the snow tomorrow morning."
One thing worth being happy about in winter is that food is durable, especially meat and eggs.
The old men and women who were sent to Wanglou Brigade were treated the same as the members of the commune. Each of them was given five catties of fish, and the money was deducted from their work points. Although Zhou Fengchu, Jin Ruochu, and Wen Ruyu could not cook, they all ate together with Aunt Xu's cooking, so they were embarrassed to send it to the Lu family. However, Wang Fengqiao and Miao Fengqin kept their promise and sent a fish each.
They were both old couples living alone, and they only got ten catties of fish in total. How could Wang Cuilan accept it?
"His aunt and his aunt, the family has been given fifty or sixty catties of fish, and they will kill pigs tomorrow. They can't eat it all by the end of the year. You can keep it for yourself!" This does not include her and Cheng Baoguo's meat tickets and various New Year's goods sent by Feng Qingxue.
Therefore, from now until the New Year, and even after the New Year, they will not lack meat to eat.
Even if there is no meat to eat, they can also ask Zhang Yuejin to get some pig offal.
Wang Cuilan has suffered a lot, but she is unwilling to let her children suffer, and she has already planned her future lifestyle.
Xibao also said, "Aunt, aunt, listen to Third Grandma, you two take the fish back."
Miao Fengqin said with a straight face, "Your mother sends us so much cured meat, seafood and game every year. What's wrong with sending you a fish? I don't know you don't want it, but you can't refuse me to do my best, right?"
Wang Fengqiao nodded beside her, "That's right, if you don't accept it, we won't have the face to accept your mother's filial piety."
Having said this, Xibao couldn't refuse it, and thanked her again and again.
Lu Erxiong said sweetly, "We will make sweet and sour big carp at noon, aunt and aunt can have dinner at our house!"
Miao Fengqin smiled and touched his head, "No, your uncle is at home, I have to go home to cook, I can't leave him behind. You eat more for aunt at noon, aunt can taste it too."
Lu Erxiong was very puzzled. How could others taste the food in his stomach? It was really amazing.
Miao Fengqin and Wang Fengqiao were in a hurry to go home and cook, so they left the fish in a hurry.
Wang Cuilan looked helplessly at the two carps they left behind, one weighing four or five pounds, which was half of the fish they got. "I'll cut more bacon and stew radish for lunch. Don't forget to remind me to serve two more bowls to send to their two families."
Xi Bao nodded and said, "It's my duty."
Lu Erxiong went out for a walk and came back. He ran to them and said, "Brother, brother, I found something strange. Someone left our team with the fish they got. Is he visiting relatives?"
