Chapter 237 A lot of fish
Secretly told you that I am stupid, he is also useful, did not see that he can catch fish.
And still catch such a big fish.
"Yeah, it's amazing, but brother Jiu'er, there are so many fish bones, and the smell is so strong that no one eats it."
Jiu'er: "..."
Can you not hit him like this?
After finally finding some work he can do, you told me that this fish is not edible?
"Since you can't eat it, I'll just put it back."
Jiu'er was a little depressed, and he really couldn't do anything well.
"No, who said that this fish can't be eaten. It has a strong earthy smell and has many spines. But I have a way, I can make it extremely delicious."
Carp and grass carp look very similar, but they taste different.
Grass carp tastes much more tender than carp.
Although Jiu’er catches all carp, the taste is not as good as grass carp, but it’s still okay to make boiled fish.
It is handled well, even if it is carp, it will not have the slightest earthy smell.
In Qiaoyi's opinion, the more thorns in fish, the tastier it is.
Like the kind of fish with few spines, even if you make flowers, Joey doesn't like to eat them.
I always feel that the meat of that fish is not delicious.
"Is this fish really edible?"
Jiu'er's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Qiaoyi say that this fish can make delicious dishes.
So he had to work hard, right?
"It can be eaten, catch more, and then put it in a water tank for two days, let it spit mud."
"Uh-huh."
Jiu'er nodded, and then focused on stirring the ice hole he dug.
Actually, there is no need to catch these fish now, they will jump up by themselves after a while, perhaps picking them up is more appropriate.
Only this part of the entire river surface has air vents, and the fish under the ice surface will definitely scramble to jump up.
After Jiu'er's stirring, you can clearly see fish swimming fast under the ice.
And it seems that the size is not small.
"Get out of the way."
Suddenly, Qiao Yi grabbed Mu Chen who was very close to the ice hole.
When Qiao Yi wanted to pull Jiu'er, he found that Jiu'er had already gone far away.
This made Qiao Yi raise his eyebrows, this Jiu'er moved really fast, faster than her reaction.
When she realized it, Jiu'er had already retreated far away.
Joy pulled Mu Chen away from the ice hole. For a moment, the ice hole was like a fountain, spraying fish out.
Countless fish jumped out of the ice hole, and then fell on the ice like dumplings.
"What can I do?"
At this moment, Jiu'er came to Qiao Yi, and said something vaguely.
Just for a while, the ice surface was full of alive and kicking fish.
A dense piece of black.
Not only Jiu'er, but even Qiao Yi has a headache.
There are too many fish.
If it is dead, she can still put it away.
But these are all alive, even if the mud in the stomach has not been spit out even if it is dead, even if it is put into the space, the earthy smell on the fish will not get rid of it.
The fish jumped out for about a stick of incense, and a thin layer of ice slowly formed in the ice hole dug out, so there were no fish jumping out.
However, there are thousands of fish on the ice at this time.
And they are all very big ones.
"Mu Chen, go and tell Mu Ru that the river here is full of fish, and ask her to ask if anyone wants it, and if anyone wants it, she can get it by herself."
"Jiu'er, go home and ask Mu Qing and the others to come over with a big basket. I'll get some at home first."
"Um."
"Um."
The two nodded, and then parted ways, one went home and the other went to the village.
As for going to the county seat, there is still time to go.
They drove the carriage, it wouldn't take long.
The Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and today the people who sell things in the county will go back very late.
Don’t worry about going late and running out of things to buy.
When Jiuer came with Mu Qing and the others, the fish on the ice were already unable to jump.
At this time, they were all lying quietly on the ice.
"Why are there so many fish?"
Mu Yun was very surprised. Although Jiu'er said there were a lot of fish, he didn't expect there to be so many.
Even Mu Qing, who usually has no expression, opened his mouth wide.
Growing up so big, it was the first time I saw so many fish, and they were not small in size.
But is this fish edible?
Not to mention the many thorns, the earthy smell is not small.
Although she was puzzled, since Qiao Yi asked her to pretend at home, she must have a reason.
I think she has a way to make the fish delicious.
Thinking about this, Mu Qing directly picked the biggest one and put it in the basket.
Jiu'er Mu Yun and Mu Qing stuffed it into the basket, while Qiao Yi walked home with the basket on her shoulders.
Put the fish directly into the water tank, and then Joey continued to carry the basket back to fetch it.
There are many water tanks and wooden basins at home, which can hold a lot of fish.
When Joey was carrying the fish home for the fourth time, there was a loud noise in the distance.
No need to think about it, I know that Mu Ru has found someone.
"Go back first, I'll be back in a while."
He could tell from the voice that almost all of them were women, and Qiao Yi didn't want these women to stare at her husband.
Apparently they didn't want to stay any longer, so they left with a basket each.
As soon as the three of them disappeared, the crowd reached the ice.
Everyone was amazed when they saw the fish on the ice.
I can't keep my mouth shut for half a day.
Unexpectedly, what Mu Ru said was true, there were really fish on the river.
Although this fish is not very delicious, no one likes to eat it, but it does not cost money or effort.
Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, so it’s pretty good to be a fish.
After all, this means good, more than every year.
"Joy, why does this good thing always happen to you?"
Mu Ru walked in and slapped Qiao Yi directly on the shoulder.
Joy was unsteady and nearly fell down.
"This is good luck, I can't help it? There are so many fish on the ice, it's a waste not to take it home. You take it, I will go to the county to buy lanterns later."
"Okay, leave it to me here."
"Um."
Qiao Yi nodded, and before leaving, she still didn't forget to fill her back basket, and then took Mu Chen home.
The folks who came over were a little dissatisfied when they saw that Joey had packed so many fish. But who let this be discovered by others.
It’s hard to say anything, I can only think about decorating myself later.
"Joe found this fish. We have to thank Qiao Yi. Otherwise, how can you eat such a big fish that doesn't cost money? Remember, a family can't have more than ten fish. Otherwise, you'll be making trouble with Mu Ru."
Mu Ru left this sentence, then bent down and started to pick up fish.
Seeing that everyone was still obedient, Mu Ru nodded in satisfaction.
"My wife, have we got enough fish to eat?"
Mu Chen looked at the large pile of fish in Qiaoyi's back basket, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
This fish is not tasty, but if the wife is cooked, he has to eat it even if it is unpalatable.
From a young age, his brothers told him that waste is shameful.
But such an unpalatable fish with so many spines, can they really finish it all?
The wife-owner said that the fish can be cooked very deliciously, but what if the fish is not delicious?
If there are few things, just close your eyes and pinch your nose and take a few bites.
But there are so many, dozens of catties, how can they eat it?
Qiao Yi saw Mu Chen frowning tightly, looking like a little old man, so he couldn't help pinching Mu Chen's nose in a funny way.
Tomorrow there will be one shift at noon, and then two shifts at night. I will start adding updates the day after tomorrow, and if I add updates, it will be at night~
