Chapter 384: I crush it with my foot
Jiang chuheng helped to dispose of the rabbit. Liao Minghui cleaned up the eel that his son had caught. Li Haitang was in charge of cleaning the clams and Snail meat. Peng Yumei fired and stir-fried the dishes. The four adults were busy. The simple red brick house soon smelled rich.
When the food was almost ready, Jiang Chuheng went to the paddy field again and called the children back for dinner, "An' an, Duoduo, dinner is ready. Gon Freecss, stop fishing. Come back after dinner."
"Okay." Liao Jie changed a few more places. During this time, he caught seven or eight big eels and cooked another big bowl of good food.
Seeing An' an and Duoduo rummaging through the mud with Liao Shan, they also caught three or four small ones with mud all over their bodies. They dragged them to the fields and wrung one by one to clean the reservoir.
When they came back from cleaning, the food was already on the table. Li Haitang brought a bowl of rice to everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone has been working hard today. Everyone has already made the dishes and come back. Have some more for lunch today."
"Mom, I want to eat mussel meat. Which one is it?" An' an sat down on the stone bench and scanned the dishes on the table but could not find them.
Li Haitang pointed to the small bowl in the middle of the bowl. "This is mussel meat. Although there is a big barrel, there is not much meat to be picked out. We only cooked half of it, and the other half is left to be taken back to grandpa and grandma for a fresh taste."
"Oh." An' an took his chopsticks and was about to pick them up when he saw some small black meatballs beside him. He asked with certainty, "Mom, is this Snail meat?"
"Yes. Snail meat is also very delicious. The one in front of you is for you and your sister alone. It's less spicy. Try it." Li Haitang took a small spoon for them to eat.
Peng Yumei brought up the last rabbit meat and divided it into two bowls. He cooked a small bowl of spicy meat for the two children and placed it in front of their brother and sister. "This is rabbit meat. It's delicious. An' an Duoduo, eat it quickly."
Jiang Chuheng had already sat down and tasted the taste with his chopsticks. The taste was extremely satisfying. He turned to Li Haitang and said, "Honey, allow me to drink some beer, okay?"
Liao Minghui smiled softly. He wanted to drink some wine for such a good dish.
"Okay, go buy some beer, but I'll drive back in the afternoon." Li Haitang wanted to laugh a little. He took some change from his pocket and gave it to Liao Shan. He told her to go to the farm quickly to buy some wine and to bring some juice for the children.
As soon as the beer arrived, the two men opened the bottle and blew it. They drank half the bottle in one gulp. Jiang chuheng said, "Cool!"
Li Haitang smiled helplessly. Her man was so good that he had nothing to say. Before, when they were in the most painful relationship, he was addicted to cigarettes to relieve his worries. Ever since they made up, he soon forced himself to quit smoking, but never touched them again. She didn't let him drink and drive, and he basically did it. He usually drank as little as possible. He took her words to heart and put her on the tip of his heart.
"Don't drink on an empty stomach. Have some food before you drink." Li Haitang gave him a lot of rabbit meat and eel meat, which he loved to eat.
"Eel for you to eat, you eat more, blood." Jiang Chuheng gave her some eel meat, and also gave chopsticks to poke hard into the rabbit bowl to pick up some eel meat, "An' an, Duoduo, eat some eel meat, it's delicious."
"Daddy, rabbit meat is delicious." Duoduo grinned and chewed.
Jiang chuheng smiled. It seemed that his daughter liked rabbit meat as much as he did. He smiled and said, "Now you know, dad didn't lie to you. Rabbit meat is really delicious."
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Li Haitang also picked up some rabbit meat to eat. It was delicious and spicy.
"This year, I will go to my father-in-law's house and call Li Tao and the others to go hunting in the mountains. The mountains over there are not too high, but there are quite a lot of trees. There should be a lot of wild food on the mountains." Jiang chuheng did not visit Li Haitang's hometown many times, so he planned to take the children to the new year this year and let them experience the bustling scene of the rural new year.
"There are a lot of pheasants and rabbits. When we were young, we often saw them cutting firewood on the mountains, but we couldn't catch them." Li Haitang had not returned to her hometown for many years, and all these years she had been visiting her family in the provincial capital. In fact, she wanted to go back to her hometown to see the changes and visit her little orchard.
"Daddy, will you take me to the mountain to catch pheasants next time?" An' an's eyes were eager.
Jiang Chuheng refused heartlessly, "You're too young. You have to be at least seven or eight years old to follow me up the mountain. The mountain is not as fun as you think, and it's not safe. Just as dad and Liao Bobo went up the mountain, they met several poisonous snakes lurking on the mountain road. One of them is thicker than your arms, longer than dad's arms, and is a venomous snake."
Hearing his father say this, An' an immediately stopped. The snake that his sister had just caught was only two fingers thick, and the snake on the mountain was so big that he did not dare to go.
"Daddy, take me there. I'm not afraid of snakes. I'll crush them with my feet." Duoduo was still full of heroics.
Jiang Chuheng glared at her. The girl's courage was not known. She had not been frightened by the snake just now, and she dared to step on it. It seems that she needs to be educated when she gets back.
Duoduo didn't see the threat in his eyes at all. She was just casually saying that she was enjoying her favorite rabbit meat.
An' an and Duoduo ate a big bowl of rice at noon, a small bowl of rabbit meat was eaten up, other Snail meat and mussel meat also ate a lot, eel meat also ate some, eating a little burp.
Before the adults had finished eating, the two children had finished eating and were off the table. An' an stood in front of the dried fishing net and played. "Dad, we will continue to go fishing in the afternoon."
"Okay, go get some more fish. The fish in this reservoir tastes good. The meat is quite sweet. Take some back and give them to your grandparents." I also cooked some fish this afternoon. I didn't cook much, so I took two pieces each and it was gone.
Liao Jie was full, too. He stood up and touched his bloated stomach. "Then I'll go fishing for some eel."
"I just finished my meal. I'll go after a rest." Peng Yumei said.
"Yes, okay."
The two men each drank two bottles of beer and ate more food in the afternoon. Today's dishes were all heavily flavored, which was what they liked and emptied all the plates.
After they had finished eating, Liao Shan took the initiative to pack up the dishes and wash the dishes. After half an hour of rest, the others went back to their work.
When Jiang Chuheng and his children went to cast a net to catch fish, Li Haitang and Peng Yumei picked some wild vegetables nearby with their baskets. Wild leeks, capsella, dandelions, and houttuynia cordata were quite a few. They took two big bags and filled them with two full bags, intending to bring them home to share with the neighbors.
The two men were good at fishing with nets. After four or five times, they caught more than ten big grass carp and some big bighead carp. They went to the farm and bought them all.
Liao Jie also had a good harvest. In an hour or two in the afternoon, he got two or three kilograms of eel, and when he was ready to go home, he happily returned with the bucket.
