Chapter 25: Eating Fish
Turning around and seeing Wang squatting at the pouring spout killing fish, Wu suddenly felt superior.
The second brother is quite clever, but it is a pity that the wife is a donkey.
She neither knows how to be considerate of men nor how to please her mother-in-law.
I know day by day that if I immerse myself in work, what good will I get if we separate in the future?
Thinking of the future benefits, Mrs. Wu's mouth suddenly lit up with joy. She was really smart in choosing the Song family.
There were several families who asked the matchmaker to visit them at first, and one of them had more land and real estate than the Song family, and fewer sons than the Song family. Her mother actually liked that family more.
But she felt that the men of the Song family were literate, unlike those local people who were all blind.
Although she is not destined to be a wife, she is still a daughter-in-law of a scholar after marrying into the Song family. Speaking of which, she has more face than ordinary women.
What's more, Song Mingxiao's appearance is also the best in Shiliba Village, and he is more comfortable to look at because he is literate and hyphenated.
Wu really fell in love at first sight, and it was love at first sight.
Pei Yu saw that the eldest daughter-in-law was going crazy with her silly smile, and immediately scolded her with a cold face: "My boss, why don't we come over to light the fire! Why are you smiling like that? You've never eaten fish before! You know how lazy you are every day!"
"
Wu's body trembled and she hurried into the kitchen in fright.
Ouch! How dare she dream in broad daylight?!
Fortunately, she was just thinking about it in her mind and didn't say anything nonsense that her mother-in-law would catch, otherwise she wouldn't be in good hands!
Mrs. Wang came back carrying the fish, being careful not to offend her mother-in-law.
She had heard all the words her mother-in-law scolded her sister-in-law just now. Her mother-in-law was indeed a ruthless person who could kill a wolf. Now that she has started practicing martial arts again, she has become even more ferocious when she curses. She just felt like the roof of the house was about to fly off.
If Pei Yu knew that Wang was planning her in her mind like this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood!
What's wrong with her?! This is the original owner who is evil! The original owner is a martial arts practitioner with a loud voice and strong energy in her Dantian. What can she do?!
Pei Yu, who didn't know what was going on in Wang's mind, suddenly felt a stomachache when he saw Wang's shivering look.
Why does this second daughter-in-law act like a miserable little cabbage every day?
The original owner treated the two daughters-in-law equally. In addition, the second daughter-in-law had just entered the house and the original owner didn't do much to him. Why did Mrs. Wang look so scared every day?
Pei Yu suddenly felt a headache when he thought about how his two sons came back just now, Mrs. Wu warmly greeted her husband, and Mr. Wang killed the fish honestly without even looking at the second son.
The multigrain rice steamed at noon does not require pure white rice. It would be too luxurious for the Song family. Even if Pei Yu wanted to, he would not dare to take such a big step.
The steamed rice is half white rice and half whole grains. This kind of rice is considered excellent.
After drinking gruel for so long, she really couldn't drink it anymore.
I want to eat, I want to eat!
The fish is a freshwater fish with many spines and less meat. It is as big as two palms. Pei Yu thought about it and made fish soup.
We still have to save the oil at home. It's too luxurious and the Song family can't accept it all at once.
Only a small spoonful of oil is used for cooking. Frying fish won’t be delicious without oil. A small spoonful of oil is not enough for frying fish, so it’s better to make soup.
Fortunately, there was a lot of ginger. I originally prepared ginger soup. Farmers didn't have money to see a doctor. If they had a headache or fever, they would make a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold. They would only see a doctor when it was really bad.
I scooped out a small spoonful of oil from the oil can on the stove and poured it into the pot. I also sprinkled in a lot of ginger slices and minced garlic and stirred it over.
Pei Yu then poured water and put the fish in to stew. There was no other way. There was not enough oil to fry it before stewing, so he just ate it.
When the fish soup is served, the whole family is happy because it is meat.
Even if there are many fish bones and it is difficult to eat, it is still a rare meat dish on the table.
Pei Yu divided the rice, and then gave another person a bowl of fish soup and a piece of fish to each person.
The eldest and second eldest children got the most fish, not only a piece of meat but also a fish head. This was a reward given to them by Pei Yu.
Looking at the fish heads in the bowl, Song Lao and Song Lao Er both looked at their father.
Usually fish heads and other dishes are eaten by my father, almost exclusively for the head of the family.
"What are you looking at? Eat, the fish heads are the fishiest. I still have to keep myself healthy and your mother can live for a few more years." Song Heng looked at his two cheap sons and said with a cold face.
He really doesn’t want to eat fish heads or anything like that! It’s fishy and dirty!
After the old man said something, the two brothers immediately lowered their heads to eat. At the same time, they were thinking: Does this mean that dad is going to start taking care of himself in old age?
Are you going to stop eating fish heads, chicken heads, etc.?
The old people in the village really stop eating these when they reach a certain age. After all, they can’t bite anymore, but dad’s age is not yet up...
They both raised their eyes to glance at their father, then lowered their heads to eat.
If dad doesn't want to eat, just don't eat. It's better to eat some than to be scolded by dad.
Song Heng glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that his cheap sons didn't ask any more questions stupidly, he secretly snorted with satisfaction.
The whole family was having a good time at the dinner table, and no one paid attention to the quarrel between father and son.
This is real rice, not porridge. Even if it is mixed with most of the grains, it will still taste better than porridge!
Pei Yu ate a bowl of rice, which was accompanied by green vegetables with a slightly oily aroma, and she ate happily.
After the meal, Pei Yu drank less than half a bowl of fish soup. Even though there was no condiment, the fish soup was not too fishy because of the sufficient amount of ginger.
Mrs. Wu drank the soup and felt that this was the most delicious fish soup she had ever tasted.
Originally, I was worried that the fish would be too fishy and I could only watch it before I could eat it. I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law’s cooking would be so delicious!
Pei Yu was a little worried when she saw Mrs. Wu drinking the soup like this. The fish soup still seemed a bit fishy to her.
But Wu was stunned and drank two bowls. If Pei Yu hadn't stared at her, Wu would have wanted a third bowl.
It’s over, she ate a bit too much today, does her mother-in-law have a problem with her?!
Wu held her belly in her hands and felt anxious, thinking that her mother-in-law disliked her for eating too much.
But she just couldn't control herself. As her belly got bigger day by day, her mouth became more and more greedy!
Pei Yu has never given birth to a child, so how can she know the physiological condition of pregnant women?
Even if you have the memory of the original owner, it's like watching a movie. It's not something you've experienced personally, and you really can't know the details.
So Pei Yu really didn't expect that Mrs. Wu would be greedy. She was only worried that Mrs. Wu would be so fishy that she would vomit.
Wu: No, it’s not fishy, I can still drink three big bowls!
After dinner, the men at home went to patrol the land. Pei Yu was a little tired. After arranging housework, he went back to his room to rest.
Her bones are still a little weak. Even if she takes medicine and exercises are put on the agenda, improving her physical condition cannot be achieved in a day or two. There is a long way to go.
Wu and Wang did their work quickly and cleaned everything that needed to be cleaned.
The dishes are washed, the kitchen is put away, and chicken food is prepared.
The two sisters worked in an orderly manner, and no one thought the work was dirty or tiring. It was all easy work.
The Song family will be unanimously regarded as a wealthy family by people from ten miles and eight villages, which is true.
