Chapter 56 Grilled Fish
Ren Qiang and Hu Cuicui looked happy after hearing this.
After the two of them landed, Ren Qiang quickly ran to them, opened the bag, and smiled after seeing the harvest clearly: "I really caught so many."
"You think I lied to you."
Ren Qiang smiled and waved his hand: "You said each one weighs one kilogram. I thought I wouldn't be able to catch such a big fish, but I didn't expect to catch so many. You guys are awesome."
As he spoke, Ren Qiang thought of Xiang Wan beside him and introduced to the two of them: "That's Uncle Xiang's daughter Xiang Wan. It's her first time coming to our village. Cuicui and I took her to play with us. Come on, seasoning
We’ve brought them all, let’s go directly to the mountain.”
Quan Tianxiang and the two nodded repeatedly.
The river is at the foot of the mountain. Everyone in the village has just finished lunch and is taking a lunch break at home. At this time, except for a few people from Xiang Wan, there is no one else around.
A group of five people was led by Ren Qiang. They found an open place to stop. Then Quan Tianxiang and Jiao Ziyuan dug a hole very skillfully. Ren Qiang carried the fish and cleaned it in a small ditch on the mountain. Hu Cuicui glanced at the busy people.
The others looked at Xiang Wan again and asked weakly: "Do you want to go collect firewood with me?"
Xiang Wan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Perhaps Hu Cuicui didn't expect Xiang Wan to agree so happily, so she was stunned for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she pointed in the right direction and said, "Then let's go over there. There are more branches over there."
"good."
The two were walking one behind the other. Hu Cuicui was a little embarrassed. Thinking of Xiang Wan's bright smile just now, she couldn't help but think in her heart, 'Xiao Wan is really beautiful, more beautiful than the flowers on the mountain.'
The two came back carrying many dead branches, and Ren Qiang and others were already ready.
"That should be enough. I'll light the fire. You girls, stay away. The smoke is very choking."
Xiang Wan and Hu Cuicui moved to the side.
Quan Tianxiang kept his eyes on Xiang Wan. When he saw her looking over, he blushed and said, "Xiang Xiang Wan, I heard that you came back from Bei City. What is Bei City like?"
The other people's eyes looked over at the same time, with expectations in their eyes.
Xiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "Just like that, it should be similar to the town, except it is much bigger and has many more buildings."
"Wow, how big that is. I have never been to such a big city," Jiao Ziyuan sighed at the side.
Xiang Wan smiled slightly: "When you go to university in Beishi, you can go to Beishi. Then I will treat you to a soda."
"I know about soda. We also sell it in our town. The bubbles come out when you shake the bottle. It's amazing, but it's too expensive and I can't bear to buy it."
Hearing Jiao Ziyuan's words, Xiang Wan smiled and said, "Then I will go to town to buy soda tomorrow and treat you to drinks then."
Hu Cuicui waved her hands quickly: "No, that soda is very expensive. Don't spend money randomly. We don't have to drink it. It will be the same when we go out to work and make money in the future."
"It's okay. Why don't you treat me to grilled fish today? I haven't prepared anything yet."
Ren Qiangsheng came over angrily and said as he walked: "How can it be the same? Our fish was caught in the river and we didn't spend any money."
"The fish costs nothing, but Quan Tianxiang and Jiao Ziyuan worked hard to catch it. You and Cuicui also brought the seasonings. These are also money. It's settled. Let my dad go to the town to buy them for us tomorrow.
Soda.”
Seeing that Xiang Wan was sincere and persistent, several people no longer refused. They thanked Xiang Wan one after another and started grilling the fish.
Soon the woods were filled with the aroma of roasting. Ren Qiang handed the first roasted fish to Xiang Wan, bared his big white teeth and said: "It's your first time here, you eat first, and the other fish can follow."
Xiang Wan didn't refuse and took it in his hand after thanking him.
The others had no objections and looked at Xiang Wan expectantly, waiting for her comments.
"It's delicious and fragrant, especially the fish skin, which is fragrant and crispy. Thank you for allowing me to eat such delicious grilled fish."
Only then did the four people's hearts drop.
Especially Hu Cuicui, who was in charge of grilling fish, couldn't help but smile when she heard Xiang Wan's words.
For those who cook, it is a recognition of their craftsmanship when someone praises them. Of course, it is worth being happy.
After a while, the remaining four fish were also grilled. Everyone stopped talking and immersed themselves in savoring the food.
After eating, the three boys began to clean up the floor.
Quan Tianxiang glanced at Xiang Wan without leaving any trace, and then said: "There are still a few fish left, how about each of us take one home?"
The others had no objection to this, and each of them had three more.
Ren Qiang and Hu Cuicui looked at each other, and Ren Qiang said: "Well, Tianxiang and Ziyuan caught the fish. Each of you will share one fish, and give the last one to Xiaowan. Welcome her to our village."
Hu Cuicui hurriedly responded: "Yes."
Quan Tianxiang and Jiao Ziyuan should be equally good.
Xiang Wan was very embarrassed that a few fish had been arranged privately. He ate and took them, but he didn't do anything, so he just picked up some branches.
When Xiang Wan returned home carrying two fish, he happened to bump into Xiang Xiong coming out of the house.
"Hey, where did the fish come from?"
Xiang Wan handed the fish to Xiang Xiong and said as he followed him: "Ren Qiang and the others caught it. They also took me up the mountain to grill the fish. There were quite a few left and they gave me an extra one. They said they welcome me to the village."
After hearing this, Xiang Xiong laughed loudly and pointed at his daughter: "You guys are so naughty! Are they easy to get along with?"
"They are very easy to get along with. I like it here very much."
Hearing this, Xiangxiong patted his daughter on the shoulder: "I like it here, then let's come back and stay for a while during the Chinese New Year."
"OK."
Xiang Xiong brought a large basin of water, put the fish in it, then turned around and said: "There is no running water at home, so this fish must be eaten tomorrow. Let's go to your Grandpa Qi's house to eat tonight. They gave us a lot of food in the afternoon."
Come here, we'll have a fire at home tomorrow."
Xiang Wan fully supports Xiang Xiong's arrangement.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The father and daughter tidied up the house again, and then went to the village chief's house for dinner.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Xiang Xiong woke his daughter up from her sleep and said with a smile: "Cui Cui came to play with you. Wash your face and go out."
Xiang Wan smiled at Hu Cuicui who was feeling awkward in the yard, then ran to wash his face, and then followed Hu Cuicui out. Before going out, he specifically asked Xiang Xiong to go to the town to buy five bottles of soda. He said that he would invite some of his playmates to drink soda.
thing.
"where are we going?"
Hu Cuicui was walking very fast, but when she heard Xiang Wan's question, she quickly stopped, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Ren Qiang and the others are waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. They said they were going to dig out bird eggs in the mountain."
After saying that, he carefully looked at Xiang Wan's face, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't want to.
When Xiang Wanshi heard about picking out bird eggs, he was really stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "But I can't climb trees, you won't let me eat for free again, right?"
Hu Cuicui hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, we went to dig a hole to collect firewood after they climbed the tree. Ren Qiang brought a shovel from home, so we didn't dig it with our hands."
