Chapter 28： so fragrant

Chapter 28 is really delicious

When Shen Man woke up, he looked at the ceiling in a daze, and then sat up suddenly.

Damn it, why did you fall asleep?

She looked around to see that there was no one in the house, but she heard someone talking outside the house, as well as the sound of water.

Get up and put on your shoes, open the door and see that Li Jinhua is picking up fish with her daughter and son.

The things she bought before were also cleaned up.

"Get up." Li Jinhua looked at her with a smile, but she didn't look unhappy.

Hearing this, Shen Man scratched his head in embarrassment, "I fell asleep, I'm sorry I asked you to help me get the fish."

Isn’t it just embarrassment, she originally wanted to clean up the fish here, but she fell asleep when she was on the kang, and let others work.

"It's okay!" Li Jinhua waved his hands and said indifferently: "It's all cleaned up together, it's a matter of convenience. Let's have dinner here tonight, and I will stew some fish."

Seeing this, Shen Man hurriedly said: "Don't stew it, let me stew half of this fish, anyway, I can't finish it, what should I do if the mouse steals it after freezing for a long time?"

As she spoke, she walked over and took out half a fish from the basin of two fish. The part that was the head of the fish weighed about six to seven catties.

There is also a piece of fish offal, which is delicious when stewed.

What people say is easy, she can't take it for granted, and she just wants to eat.

"What is this for?" Li Jinhua stopped her, saying that if she couldn't eat it, it was someone else's food.

Besides, what kind of mouse is eating it, how can it be such a coincidence? Now there is a water tank outside in winter, and after putting it in and covering it, mice can't get in at all.

Unexpectedly, Shen Man dodged her hand directly, and replied with a smile: "Auntie, I want to eat this, is it okay?"

Seeing her laughing, Li Jinhua's heart softened inexplicably, and she laughed: "It's all right, I'll listen to you!"

Shen Man and Gu Nan have different personalities. Gu Nan is a little careless and straightforward, but Shen Man looks gentle and sensible, and can endure hardship.

She likes such a child no matter what she thinks.

At the end of the night, I still stewed the fish. In order to increase the taste, Shen Man went back to the collective household and pretended to take out a can of pork belly.

By the way, I brought a little seasoning. Just now I saw that the Gu family had nothing but soy sauce.

Canned food is very delicious when stewed with fish. Of course, it is better to use fresh pork belly.

But the ones in her space are kept fresh all the time, and they can’t be taken out at all. If they are taken out, everyone will feel that something is wrong.

"How about I come?" Li Jinhua looked at her standing by the pot with a shovel, a little worried.

If such a good fish is stewed, it would be a waste.

"It's okay! Don't worry, auntie, I can cook!" Shen Man gave her a reassuring look.

Then he took out a small bottle of stupidly squeezed soybean oil he brought and poured it into the pot.

"Oh my god!" Li Jinhua exclaimed directly looking at the small bowl of oil in the pot.

How much is this?

She looked at Shen Man, and didn't know what to say, after all, this was the oil he brought.

Shen Man pretended not to see, how delicious is the stewed fish oil?

When the oil is hot, put the scallions into the pan and fry until fragrant, then add the big ingredients one by one, and then add hot water.

The sound of "Zi La" sounded, and a fragrance wafted in the room.

"Hey, it smells so good." Gu Nan squatted next to the stove to help light the fire, so he smelled the fragrance right away.

Li Jinhua on the side pursed her lips, wondering if it would not smell good after putting so much oil in it?

The oil for this fish stew is enough for their family to eat for a month, and saving it for two months is enough.

Shen Man took out a small bottle of transparent water and poured it into the pot, and then put the fish in. The white wine was poured just now, so that the fishy smell would not be strong.

Put the lid on the pot, she clapped her hands, it's done!

Then he lowered his head and said to the fire girl: "Just control the fire to medium, don't make it too hot."

She still can't control the temperature of the earthen stove, so she can only count on Gu Nan.

Hearing this, Gu Nan nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

She is the one who cooks the fire at home. Generally, she knows how much fire Li Jinhua uses for any dish.

Hearing this, Shen Man was relieved, turned his head and went into the room, the kitchen was full of oily smoke and cooking heat, and he couldn't see anything at all.

After entering the room, Li Jinhua asked her to sit down, and then went out to steam the rice.

Only Shen Man and Gu Chen were left in the room, and asked people to sit on both sides of the kang, one on each side.

At this moment, she was quiet and a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, Shen Man thought she should say hello?

"Is it cold in your collective household?" At this time, Gu Chen suddenly spoke first.

Shen Man turned his head and saw him looking at him, so he replied: "It's okay, there is some air leakage."

Although the houses of collective households have not been newly built for a few years, they are definitely not as warm as houses with loess mixed with straw.

The two fell into embarrassment again. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why didn't you see Uncle Gu at home?"

She has been here all day today, and now it is dark outside, and no one has come back.

Hearing her question, Gu Chen said with a smile: "My dad has gone to my uncle's house outside the mountain. They are quite far away. I think I can come back tomorrow."

"Outside the mountain?" Shen Man looked at him suspiciously, what place is that?

"The outside of the mountain is the outside of the mountain. You also know that we belong to the mountainous area. If you go outside, it is called outside the mountain, and the other side is the river." Gu Chen patiently explained.

"Oh..." Shen Man nodded clearly, thinking that there are quite a lot of local dialects here, adding new knowledge.

The two were chatting casually. Li Jinhua entered the room and saw them chatting with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaoman, come to our house for dinner if you have nothing to do in the future. We like to be lively."

Northeast people are hospitable and like your personality, so they hope you will come again next time.

Shen Man smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will come here often in the future."

But she will bring something, at least her own rations. At this time, it is not easy for anyone, and there is no reason to support others in vain.

"I'm hungry for milk!" A little boy ran in, and just as the voice was heard, people also came in.

Gu Linjun saw the strange Shen Man, then stood beside Li Jinhua, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, who is she?"

The last time he had a meal, he didn't come out for a nap, or he just went out to play wildly with his friends, and he didn't meet him a few times.

Li Jinhua said with a smile: "You have to call Auntie, call someone quickly."

"Auntie." Gu Linjun looked at her with wide eyes, and then hid in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shen Man laughed, "Come on, Auntie will give you candy."

As she spoke, she took out a handful of white rabbit toffee from her pocket, only the packaging didn't have any markings like the production address.

Seeing Tang Gu Linjun's eyes widened, he turned to look at Li Jinhua, wondering whether he should take it or not.

And Li Jinhua knew that Shen Man was not a stingy person, so she nodded in agreement and motioned for her grandson to get it.

"Thank you, aunt." Looking back, Lin Jun didn't need anyone to teach him, so he took it with a smile, licking his mouth and baring his small teeth.
