Fang Nuo understood the meaning in her eyes, smiled, took the cup and put it into the basket.
The two of them warmed themselves by the fire and chatted.
After a while, several aunts came over and asked Aunt Dahua: "Dahua, what delicious food did you make at your home yesterday? I can smell the fragrance at my house. Please share it with us."
"At home, we stew pork head with cabbage. If you like it, you can try it yourself when you go back," Aunt Dahua said.
She didn't want to reveal the braised pork recipe. After all, although she didn't know the detailed ingredients for Xiao Nuo's recipe, if someone asked about it from her, she would inevitably have to trouble Xiao Nuo, so she didn't want to make it. This issue.
"Is it really just stewed pig head meat? Don't lie to me, my old sister. If I go back and buy the pig head and stew it, it won't taste the same." The aunt said in disbelief.
"Then every stew tastes different. If you can't stew it with such a fragrant taste, how can you blame me?" Aunt Dahua said after listening to her words.
"I'm not saying I blame you, I just want to ask you how you cooked it." The aunt also thought of the captain at this moment and said in a gentle tone.
"I just stewed it casually. It's so fragrant. If you ask me how to stew it, I don't know where to start." Aunt Dahua continued to say vaguely.
"Our two families have such a good relationship, but you don't even want to say this. How stingy." Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, the aunt was too lazy to please her.
"I'm so stingy. Why, someone has a craft and they tell it everywhere. You don't know yourself, so you have the nerve to ask. I'll talk to you. You think I'm giving you face, right?" Aunt Dahua heard this She suddenly felt that there was no need to speak properly.
"Isn't it just some cooking skills? It's like asking for money from you." The aunt still couldn't bear to ask for cooking recipes from her.
"You say this as if you are very generous. Otherwise, you give me fifty yuan and I will teach you how to cook, otherwise I am afraid that you will not eat well," said Aunt Dahua.
"That crappy prescription of yours isn't even worth fifty. Aren't you trying to steal money?"
"Anyway, it's worth the price. If you want to learn, just pay." Aunt Dahua looked at the people around her and continued: "If you all want to learn, it's the same price. I'll treat them all equally."
The others couldn't see it, so they smiled and said a few polite words to Aunt Dahua, and then walked away to chat with others.
When the aunt saw that everyone who came with her had left, she thought she had no one to support her, so she walked away in despair.
After Fang Nuo and others walked away, he whispered to Aunt Dahua: "Auntie, the recipe is actually very simple. If you want to give it to your friends, I can write one for you and ask them to go to the drug store to get it. That’s fine”
She felt that after this recipe for braised pork arrived, there would be a lot of it when searching on the Internet, and there was nothing bad to tell others about it.
She also has a better recipe in her hand, which she bought at a high price, and is only used when braised meat at home.
Every time I give Aunt Dahua some old soup, it’s because it contains my more detailed recipe. The marinade packet I give her only contains a few common marinades.
"No, they just can't be too nice. Otherwise, if you have something once, they will be shameless enough to ask for it next time," said Aunt Dahua.
"That's it, okay then. Listen to you, Auntie." Fang Nuo heard Aunt Dahua say this and was afraid of causing more trouble in the future, so he stopped saying anything.
The two of them stood by the fire with Yaya for a while, and then they finished playing there.
The captain led the fishermen to lift the wooden barrels containing the fish to the shore, poured them into the large basins they brought, and sorted the fish according to size.
After all the fish were brought ashore, the team leader called on everyone to line up to collect the fish.
Shen Gongqi also saw Fang Nuo in the crowd and walked towards her.
Fang Nuo watched him coming and said to Aunt Dahua: "Auntie, go ahead and line up to get the fish. I'll wait for him to come over."
"Okay, then I'll go queue up first." After Auntie Dahua said, she followed the crowd and queued up.
Fang Nuo held Yaya in his arms and waited until Shen Gongqi came over. He stretched out his hand to take Yaya from her arms. Fang Nuo said, "I brought some ginger tea. You drink it first to keep the cold away."
Shen Gongqiu turned around, took the basket and opened it. He saw a large tea vat of brown sugar and ginger tea inside. It smelled sweet and greasy, so he knew she had put a lot of sugar in it.
"I don't like sweet drinks. You can keep it for yourself. I'm not cold now," Shen Gongqi said, preparing to put the lid back on the teapot.
"Just drink a little. I've been through a lot and I can't finish it in one day. Just drink it from the big teapot," Fang Nuo said.
Shen Gongqi could only obediently pick it up and take a sip, then put it back and put the basket on the ground. He took Yaya and said, "Come on, let's go line up and share the fish."
Fang Nuo picked up the basket and followed him. When they got to the back of the queue, she asked, "How are the fish this year? Are they big?"
"It's okay, there are a lot of big fish," Shen Gongqi said.
"Then let's go back and buy more, get some preserved fish to hang up, and then send some to Grandpa and the others. We can also have meat to eat when we plant in the spring," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Shen Gongqi said.
After queuing for half an hour, we finally arrived at their home.
Fang Nuo took their share first, carried it while waiting for the last few to finish their share, and then went to buy a lot of big fish, small fish and shrimps.
Today she came over with two sacks and put all the fish in the sacks. The small fish and shrimps were put in the baskets.
When she returned, she was holding Yaya and carrying the basket, while Shen Gongqi carried two bags of fish.
After returning home, Fang Nuo sent Yaya back to the room and let her play on the kang by herself. He said, "Mom, go see if there are any bigger shrimps today. If there are any, I will boil them and peel them for you to dip in soy sauce." Eat, you can play on the kang by yourself, you know?”
"Okay" Yaya agreed
"I'll let dad accompany you later," Fang Nuo said and left the house.
He went to the kitchen and saw that Shen Gongqi was already handling the fish, so he said to him: "I'll handle the fish later. You can go take Yaya to the house."
"I'll do it, you go take Yaya," Shen Gongqi said.
"I have to cook, and you go see the kids. You're not tired enough after getting up so early in the morning," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, you cook the rice first, and we'll handle the fish later," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, I understand. Wash your hands and go back. Remember to add some firewood to the kang stove," Fang Nuo said.
"okay"
Seeing that he heard it, Fang Nuo carried the basket into the kitchen.
She first took out the teapot from the basket and put it on the table, then took the basin and poured out the shrimps in it.
Seeing that there were some shrimps about the size of a finger, I picked a small plate and soaked them individually in clean water. I also scooped out the others and soaked them in the water.
