Mrs. Xue quickly took a Mazza, sat by the sink with a kitchen knife, and opened the loach. All the dirty things were removed, and the rest were all the fat and tender meat of loach.
All the blood and water flowed into the sewer, and other parts of the loach body were washed clean.
After handling the loach, old lady Xue took it and went into the kitchen. She won't let Xu fangya interfere. Just asked her to burn the boiler.
"The third daughter-in-law, burn the pot. The more prosperous the fire is, the better."
She herself chopped the loach into several large pieces neatly with a sharpened knife. When Xu fangya left the kitchen, she opened the lid of the boiler first and saw the hot steam coming to her face.
She knew that the water was boiling and could start.
"Xueer, why is it so long? Are you all right? I'm so hungry." The little girl in the company was already hungry and shouted with her stomach covered.
Other children are not hungry. They have been playing in the stream for a day today. They consume their physical strength quickly. How can they not be hungry? If not, they will go home for dinner.
Just as the sun set, it was time for everyone to eat.
Xue Xueer sat on the chair and craned her neck to look into the kitchen. She is also very curious about why the milk is so slow today. It is usually very fast.
Xu fangya didn't get involved in these things. She sat on the Kang at the head of her house, knitting a sweater with a wool ball and needle and thread. Although it is summer now, autumn will come soon.
For the sake of the whole family, she has to finish knitting these sweaters. By convention, all the children and all the children in the family have one. Although Mrs. Xue can knit by herself, they should be filial to their father-in-law as their daughter-in-law.
"Why don't I go and have a look?" Xue Xueer's proposal was praised by many people.
As soon as she got up from her chair, old lady Xue came out with a big pot of soup and shouted, "children, are you hungry? Come and eat quickly and open your stomach."
The big pot of loach soup was served with a fragrant smell. The soup was tender white, just like white rabbit milk candy. The surface was also sprinkled with some scallions. When the big basin was brought out, the children stopped talking and could only look at it.
There's someone else who wants to leave.
Xue Xueer quickly got up and helped old lady Xue out with her job. The dozen children are small in size and occupy a small position. They can barely sit down at a big table. They carried white rice and scrambled to eat loach meat.
Xueer is not in a hurry to eat. She helps old lady Xue sit down on the horse.
"Milk, are you tired? Xueer beat your back."
Her little hands were fleshy and had little strength, but old lady Xue was happy to hammer like this. Sitting happily, watching these children eat.
The delicious food they ate showed that Mrs. Xue was good at her craft.
"Xueer, go eat it too. The milk is all right."
"No, milk, it's okay. I'm not hungry."
Seeing Xueer's filial piety, old lady Xue's tiredness disappeared in an instant. The master and sun were intimate and bit each other's ears: "Xueer, I left some milk for you and your mother in the kitchen. When they leave, you can take it out and eat it quickly."
"The milk should be eaten together."
