Chapter 48 Braised Eel
After her son marries Wen Xi, she will start looking for a candidate. She will definitely find a woman who is easy to raise and can give birth to a son.
When the puppy came to the field and saw his mother, he realized that his mother was here to see his future wife, just like him. So the puppy ran over and asked in a low voice, "Mom, which of these women is Wenxi?"
Xiaogouliang pointed at Wenxi and said, "That's the one who wears gloves even when pulling weeds."
So the puppy quickly started searching in the field, and sure enough, he saw a woman wearing white work gloves. She was a very beautiful woman with fair skin and rosy complexion, big watery eyes, and a pigtail hanging behind her back. Under the winter sun, her whole body exuded a charming glow. She was much more beautiful than Nie Xiulan.
The more the puppy looked, the drier his mouth felt. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead and he felt hot and uncomfortable all over.
He didn't expect that Nie Xiulan would introduce such a daughter-in-law to him. No matter what Nie Xiulan's purpose was, as long as he married Wen Xi, he would have two beautiful women, and he would not lose out.
Xiao Gou decided that if Nie Xiulan didn't come to see him tonight, he would definitely go to the educated youth site to find Nie Xiulan. He would definitely marry Wen Xi home as quickly as possible and not let anyone else get there first.
Wen Xi had no idea that there were already two men in the harvest team who wanted to use her to live a good life. She was concentrating on her work, and there was less and less work in the fields. She should be able to have a complete vacation soon, so that she could implement her plan.
Because Wen Xi had to go back to make lunch, he returned home half an hour earlier than Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. The eels should have spit out all the mud and sand.
So after Wenxi cooked lunch, he put the vegetables that could be steamed in the steamer, and then started to process the eels.
Take out the eels one by one, then use salt to clean the mucus on the surface of the eels, then fix the eel's head with a wooden board and nails, and clean the eels one by one.
After all the eels are processed, clean them, put them into the vegetable basin, put them in the cupboard and wait until you come back in the evening to process them again.
As soon as Wenxi got home from work in the evening, he couldn't wait to run into the kitchen. He first steamed the leftovers from lunch in a steamer, and then started to make braised eel.
After Shen Jiaojiao heated up the iron pan, Wen Xi poured a spoonful of oil into it. After the oil was hot, he poured the onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns and other seasonings that had been washed and chopped in advance directly into the pan. After a "sizzling" sound, Wen Xi quickly stir-fried the seasonings. After they were fragrant, he poured half of the eel segments into the pan.
More than ten pounds of eels cannot fit in one pot, so I have to cook them separately. I can send half of them to Chang Qingqing's house later.
Things like onions, ginger, and garlic were also signed out. There was a whole basket of each kind, just like the big baskets used in the vegetable market, weighing dozens of kilograms, which was probably enough for them to use for a year.
Soon, a strong aroma burst out from the kitchen. Shen Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi's cooking skills are just great. No matter what it is, it can be turned into a delicious dish in Xiaoxi's hands."
"The happiest thing in my life is meeting you on the train and then living outside with you." Jiang Yue said with a smile beside him.
"Even if we didn't meet on the train, we would definitely get to know each other when we arrived at the educated youth point. If we have similar personalities, we can definitely become sisters." Wen Xi said with a smile.
There are a total of eighteen people in the entire educated youth site, including the five new arrivals in their group, but there are not many people with normal thinking. Zhu Jiawen is a scumbag and a person who likes to smooth things over.
Nie Xiulan, Xu Huaying, Liang Zhaodi and Chu Waner all have their own little schemes and are not good people. Many of them don't talk much, and they are only mentioned briefly in the original text, so they have no sense of existence. Wen Xi was not familiar with them and didn't understand them in the two years of his previous life, so he has no idea what kind of people they are.
But now that the three of them lived outside, there was no need to understand what they were, after all, there was no need to get along with them.
Even if the three of them did not meet on the train but met at the educated youth point, they would still become friends because of their personalities, it just might take some time!
After the first pot of eels was ready, Wenxi started to make the second pot.
Qian Liang was hiding behind the courtyard wall. When he smelled the fragrance coming from Wenxi's kitchen, he couldn't help swallowing. He couldn't wait to marry Wenxi.
What right does a lowly bastard have to eat meat? These good things can only go into his stomach.
After dinner was ready, Wenxi gave half of the braised yellow eel to Chang Qingqing. Chang Qingqing was very happy and said embarrassedly, "Xiaoxi, thank you so much. I'm sorry to trouble you."
They wanted to eat yellow eel, but the one they cooked themselves didn't taste good, so they asked Wenxi to cook it for them.
"Sister, why are you being so polite? We have troubled you a lot before, and we don't know how many times we will trouble you in the future!" Wen Xi said with a smile.
"Sister, since my brother-in-law has the ability to catch eels, let him catch more eels in the future. When I am not working, I will cook eels. I know several ways to cook them. I will let you taste them. We will eat the flavor you like in the future."
Cooked eels are also delicious. If fresh eels are difficult to sell, or people don’t know how to cook eels, then can she cook eels and loaches and then take them to the black market to try?
However, she had to first establish a cooperative relationship with the boss of the black market, otherwise how could he accept the eels and loaches she made?
Cooked food sold in the summer will easily go bad, so we have to wait until winter. It’s almost the New Year this year, so it’s definitely too late. We can only consider this matter until next winter.
However, she can first earn some money by selling fish. After she has the capital, she can buy eels and loaches from others. If she has time, she can also go out and catch them and stock up some so that she will have food to use in winter.
After giving the braised yellow eel to Chang Qingqing, Wen Xi hurried home for dinner.
The eel is not boned, and the cooked eel meat is easy to fall off and falls into your mouth with one sip. The meat is plump and tender, and it is really satisfying.
The three sisters ate with relish. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, who seldom got to eat delicious food, felt particularly happy. Wen Xi was not so exaggerated, because her family was well off in that era, and her second brother was very good to her and would buy her good things whenever he had any, so she was not greedy.
