Not to mention cooking, he was also the one who washed the clothes in the fifth house.

Thus, at such a young age, the hair on his hands had grown into calluses.

Sometimes, the Madame Hee-zhou would think that Yue Yang would intentionally find trouble with him and ask him to chop the bones of the pigs.

The pig bones were bought from the Madame Hee-zhou, they were hard and big.

In the end, both of his hands went numb from the chopping, but he was still unable to cut open the pig's bones.

With this as the reason, the Madame Hee-zhou did more farming for him.

Thinking about it, Hee Zijun's eyes turned red.

"Then I'll cook the fish soup, Younger Brother will cook the Red Braised Fish." Yang Xinyu suggested.

Hee Zijun looked up in shock, "Fifth Sister-in-law, you're saying I'm here to cook the fish?"

Then he lowered his head and bit his lips, "But I've never cooked Red Braised Fish before. I've only cooked Red Braised Meat."

A meal of pork was already extravagant enough. How could a normal family possibly have the luxury of eating a meal of fish?

Yang Xinyu said, "It's all braised vegetables, so the method is about the same."

"How did you know, Fifth Sister-in-law …" Hee Zijun wanted to ask, but stopped herself.

Without even thinking about it, it must be the things Fifth Sister-in-law learned at the gates of hell.

He quickly corrected himself. "I want to try."

After cutting off the head of the fish that was close to ten jin, Yang Xinyu cut the big fish into pieces and smeared a thick layer of thick salt on it. Then, he smeared the other one a little and passed it to Hee Zijun, "Younger Brother, put some oil in the pot and fry the fish when the oil is sixty percent hot."

Hee Zijun did as he said, but it was only when they were cooking that the fish was crackling, scaring him, "Fifth Sister-in-law, what should I do next?"

It was only then that Yang Xinyu remembered that she had forgotten to drain the fish. Smiling, she said, "Don't rush, when the fish turns golden yellow on the surface, you can flip the noodles over the fish. It's about the same as roasting red braised pork.

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "That's right, get some more wild vegetables and steam them by the side of the pot. This way, the wild vegetables made by you will taste delicious."

"I understand, Fifth Sister-in-law." Hee Zijun heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes shining.

Yang Xinyu made the fish soup, and then placed the salted fish in the courtyard to dry. Very quickly, an hour had passed.

Hee Zijun could not wait and opened the pot, smelling the fragrance from it.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, the Red Braised Fish is done!"

Yang Xinyu's fish soup had also been prepared.

The fragrance of the steam made him salivate.

She picked up a large bowl of fish soup, put in a piece of fish head, covered the pot, and said, "The fish soup is ready."

Hee Zijun was not tall enough, it was difficult for him to carry the dishes. Yang Xinyu picked up the shovel and placed the wild grass and Red Braised Fish beside the wok into two plates.

Without another word, she picked up a piece of wild vegetable with her chopsticks and dipped it into the fish soup on her plate.

"It's too delicious!"

The fish was very fresh and tender, and the juice from the braised meat was especially delicious.

Hee Zijun imitated Yang Xinyu and tried it.

He chewed a few mouthfuls before finally swallowing it.

At this time, he said somewhat reluctantly, "Fifth Sister-in-law, we should cook less. It's such a pity that we can eat all of this delicious fish in one day."

"Stupid Younger Brother, these are all dead fish. If you don't burn them today, it will be fresh and tender tomorrow. Yang Xinyu said as she picked up a piece of fish belly meat and placed it into Hee Zijun's bowl.

Hee Zijun did not move the chopsticks, but only glanced at Yang Xinyu: "Fifth Sister-in-law, you caught this fish, you should taste it first."

Yang Xinyu had only beat down on her fat today, so even if his heart wanted to eat meat, she could only endure it.

She said resolutely, "I don't like to eat fish, you eat Younger Brother."

Although fish wouldn't get fat after eating, it was still meat!

One had to know that even if she ate wild vegetables, her body would still grow meat.

In order to get rid of three or four of her chins, she would have to reject any and all of these meaty things.

Hee Zijun did not believe him at all.

But Yang Xinyu's look of rejection, was actually not a lie.

Thus, he picked up the piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

This was the first time he had eaten fish; he never expected it to be so delicious.

The fish belly meat was the most tender part of the fish. The smooth and tender fish meat was exquisite and delicious.

With just a piece of fish, Hee Zijun ate two wild vegetable bas in succession.

Yang Xinyu frowned. She said that she did not like eating meat and wanted this child to eat more. Why did he save so much for her?

"Younger Brother, don't just eat wild vegetables. Eat more meat quickly, this meat can only be left for two days at most. If you don't, you'll be ruined." With that, Yang Xinyu turned the fish around and tucked the other side of her stomach away as well.

Hee Zijun picked up his chopsticks, hesitating a little, "Fifth Sister-in-law, you really aren't going to eat it? This fish is so delicious! "

It was really hard for him to believe that a Fifth Sister-in-law who ate with the fragrance of food would have something that she didn't like.

Who knows, maybe the Fifth Sister-in-law has never tried fish before, and they made a mistake?

Yang Xinyu saw that Hee Zijun was staring at him, and immediately pretended to look disgusted and pinched her nose, "Younger Brother, I really don't eat this stuff, it smells like fishy."

"Really?" When Hee Zijun heard this, he leaned close to the bowl to smell the aroma.

He frowned. Could it be that his nose wasn't sharp enough, so he didn't smell anything fishy?

In the past, he had heard people say that although fish were expensive, the smell of fish was strong, so even rich families rarely ate them. Could this be true?

But he didn't taste anything fishy!

Hee Zijun picked up the fish belly and tasted it again.

He ate most of the fish on the plate without tasting anything fishy.

On the other hand, he was so full that he couldn't even walk anymore.

He burped and asked, "Fifth Sister-in-law, when are we going to sell our new jams?"

At this time, Yang Xinyu had drank four bowls of fish soup, and her stomach was full.

She touched her swollen belly and said, "We'll make more dried fruits later. We'll go to the county tomorrow."

It wasn't that she wanted to drink so much, it was just that the soup was too delicious. After taking a sip, she couldn't control herself and scooped another bowl.

At this time, Yang Xinyu rejoiced.

Fortunately, she was not eating the Red Braised Fish, otherwise, Hee Zijun would not be able to eat that plate of fish at all.

She would rather have more soup and less meat.

Hee Zijun was just worrying that he had nothing to do, when he heard this he immediately said, "Fifth Sister-in-law, let me help you do it! Now that we have two pots, it's faster for two people to make it! "

Seeing that he was filled with motivation, Yang Xinyu agreed with a smile.

She didn't want Hee Zijun to work too hard, but if he wanted to do it himself, could she restrict his freedom?

She knew better than anyone that Hee Zijun was a good, sensible kid. It was impossible for him to see her work hard alone.

At this time, Yang Xinyu swore in her heart that in the future, she would treat him even better.
