Chapter 53

"Sister Shui, I'll go home first." Xi Cui glances at the figure of Lin siyao passing by the kitchen door, knowing that they must be about to have dinner. He got up and patted some dead leaves on his clothes. Farewell to Su Shuifu.

"Don't you stay for a meal?" Su Shuigui kept her with a smile. "Today, at noon, a Yao made a marinated hoof." Thinking of the pig's hoof stewed in the pot, Su Shuifu couldn't help but raise his lips and chuckle.

This is what aunt Tian sent this morning.

Her mother slaughtered a sow a while ago and divided one of her hind legs.

Lin siyao is Dabao's master. Tian Dafu and his wife have long thought about giving Lin siyao a generous reward. Therefore, in the early morning, aunt Tian brought the whole pig's hind legs to Su Shuifu's house to send the annual gift.

Su Shuifu and his wife were determined not to accept it.

Su Shuifu thought that this hind leg, which was worth a lot of silver, could save them a month's vegetable money if it was put in the farmland.

But Lin Sixiao didn't think so much, because Su Shuipeng didn't want it, so he didn't accept it.

As for the sophistication, I'm sorry that he didn't get used to his previous career.

In the end, aunt Tian didn't refuse to be polite. She took the initiative to bring her hind legs to the kitchen, took the kitchen knife, and cut the whole pig's hind legs into two parts with a few clicks.

"Girl, I'm not as polite as you. In this way, you can choose one by yourself. One paragraph is to be taken anyway. Otherwise, even if I carry it back as it is, uncle Tian can't put me out. " Aunt Tian held the kitchen knife and waved to Su Shuigui and Lin siyao to choose a section.

In order to avoid their politeness and deliberately choose a small section, aunt Tian specially divides this hind leg into two parts evenly. The section with hooves is long and strong. The upper part of the meat is thick and short. In terms of weight, aunt Tian's eyesight is very accurate.

She could not resist aunt Tian's insistence, so Su Shuifu chose the leg meat with hooves. She didn't eat marinated pig's hooves for a long time. She was really greedy.

Lin Sixiao looked at her rare salivation and asked aunt Tian for the method of marinated pig's hoof. After cleaning, slicing and blanching the pig's hoof, he flattened the peeled garlic in the hot pot with lard, and then added ginger, fennel, Sinai, cinnamon, tangerine peel, prickly ash, a little dried red pepper, Xiangye, Huoxiang, clove, sugar, soy sauce, salt, cooking wine and other ten kinds of incense in turn Seasoning and seasoning, add some water, and then put the pig's hooves blanched in water. First boil them in high heat, and then simmer them in low heat. All morning, after washing vegetables, Lin Sixiao stayed in the kitchen and watched the fire.

"No, I think it's too stressful to eat with obsidian. Ha ha ha... " Xi Cui made a mischievous face. Go to the main house with Su Shuijin.

Su Shuifu hears the words and only feels funny. She will not be forced to stay. Through the hall, put down the black bear skin mat in his hand, and sent Xicui out of the yard.

"Sister Shui, do you really stop thinking about it?" The moment when Xi Cui stepped out of the gate, she went back to Su Shuifu to confirm. She really didn't want the eight Liang silver to be wiped out without consideration.

Su Shuifu shook his head. "No, it's too late. Xiuhuo, I want to wait for years to pick up. " What else would you like to prepare years ago. Not only clothes, shoes and socks, but also the miscellaneous items for sacrifice before the end of the year.

Xi Cui does not give up ground to nod, "OK, then I go to the city tomorrow, rejected for you?"

"Good." Su Shuifu nodded with a smile and waved to see Xi Cui leave.

…………

"Ah Yao, come on, try to see if it fits?" Su Shuipeng shakes the newly sewn thickened middle coat, leaves the South Gate of the hall, and calls to Lin siyao, who has been put away for another day and has been drying dried fish and shrimps, who is walking towards the main room.

Lin Shiyao smiled and nodded. Step up. Two rattan baskets full of game dried goods were collected at the top of the kitchen locker to prevent the wolf cubs from stealing. Then wash your hands and come to the hall.

"So fast?" Asked Lin Shiyao with a smile. Seems to be the beginning of yesterday, today is done?

"It's cold, and you won't wear a cotton jacket." Su Shuitan complained on his mouth, and took the initiative to help Lin siyao take off the single-layer outer garment, put on the new mezzanine middle garment, and tie the top belt.

"It fits." Lin Shiyao bowed his head and stole a kiss from her lips. "Thank you!" He whispered with a smile.

"Who says there's no need to thank each other?" Su Shuizhen's eyes turned slightly, as if he had crossed him angrily. However, the red glow on her face betrayed her but she was shy.

"I just thank you for marrying me." Lin Si Yao's low voice was softly transmitted to her ears, which made her ear neck red.

"All right, put on the blouse." Su Shuijin put on his coat for him. The bottom of my heart is bubbling sweetly. When did he learn to talk sweetly.

"What would you like to eat at night? How about bream with scallion oil? " Lin Sixiao put up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen for dinner.

In the past few days, he has made a lot of progress in cooking. From the original barbecue and stir fried dishes, there are dozens of different ways of stewing, steaming, frying, frying, frying, frying and other multi-color dishes with different tastes. It has to be said that chef is also a career that requires a lot of energy and physical strength.

However, if it is for the woman he loves, he will enjoy it.

”Good. " Su Shuifu has no opinion at all. She always likes to eat fish. It's just that fish bones are hard to pick before, so I'm not willing to eat them. Now, linsiyao always has a way to clean the fish bones, as if the fish he made had no bones.

What's more, the fish in the big water tank are almost full.

A few days ago, Tian Dabao came to fish with his fishing net in his heart. He said that he wanted to learn from his master to marinate and dry the fish, so that he could taste the fish in the cold winter.

So Lin siyao took him to the upper reaches of the Western head of the river and fished for three days. He fished in about ten big barrels.

Of course, in addition to all kinds of fish of different sizes, there are also several jin of river shrimp, 20 or so nearly fat river crabs, and even a three Jin old turtle, five or six Jin eel In a word, the harvest is not bad.

At last, Tian Dabao took only three barrels of miscellaneous fish and planned to take them home to let his mother dry them.

The rest were left to Lin Shiyao. He also shouted that he was filial to his teacher and mother. It made Su Shuifu laugh for a while.

Although there is a big water tank for raising fish at home, it can't stand to let so many fish go together.

As a result, Lin Sixiao picked out half of the relatively small and thin fish, washed them and dried them directly. Because salted fish have been dried a lot. It should be said that the large barrels of miscellaneous fish caught in the previous two times were basically dried into salted fish.

As for those river prawns, in addition to fried several plates with green onions, they were sent to Lao's and Tian's, and they also tasted two delicious shrimp meals. There are two or three jin of the rest. They are all boiled in brine and soaked in the flavor, and dried in the sun. In order to stew in the future, you can leave a few to adjust the flavor.

There are about 20 big river crabs, eight of which are kept in wooden barrels, ready to taste two every few days. The rest were brought home by Dabao. There were six people in their family, old and young, each of whom could have two to taste.

As for those big eels and the only old turtle, Lin Sixiao kept them in a wooden basin alone, and planned to keep them for sacrifice on the eve of the lunar new year.

It's also the first big year since I moved to Fanhua town. I have to prepare some good food to worship my ancestors and Bodhisattvas.

Although, Lin siyao did not know which ancestors he had. He only understood the so-called sacrifice by listening to Aunt Lao's nagging.

The reason why aunt Lao asked him to talk about the sacrifice was that Lin siyao held the kitchen work and asked Su Shuizhen to say that these were not as clear as Lin siyao. The other is to remind him to prepare early. Because, by the end of the year, all kinds of things needed for sacrifice are more expensive.

Lin siyao thought that Su Shuigui should be a great treasure from a large family, and he should pay more attention to sacrifice. So, I left my heart in this matter. All the things needed for sacrifice, including the furnishings for eating, are prepared in advance.

But Su Shuidan saw that Lin siyao was actively preparing these things. He also said that he understood and needed sacrifice. It's up to him. In addition, they also take the initiative to pay attention to useful information in this regard.

Therefore, both of them are extremely interested in and actively prepare all kinds of things for sacrifice, nothing more than to do something for each other.

As for the reason, it was completely left behind by them. They didn't even think about communicating with each other, or even misunderstanding each other in this matter. Although, this should be attributed to the misunderstanding of goodwill.

In a word, a series of sacrificial activities followed: Laba, sending kitchen stoves, sacrificing new year, greeting kitchen stoves All unfolded in order and ended perfectly.

To be honest, Su shuibi is a little confused. Since there are so many delicious river food in the upstream area, why don't other villagers in Fanhua town come to the upstream? Not only can you add a dish for your family, but also you can ship it to the city to sell it to the fish shops in the big restaurants to earn money. Isn't that great?

"Eh? Shiniang, don't you know? There is an unwritten rule in our village that every family can only fish around their homestead. " Tian Dabao listened to Su Shuigui's doubts one day and finally asked: "otherwise, why should I drag my master to go fishing. Ha ha... There are times when teachers are so stupid... "

I see! Su Shuifu suddenly realized that he decided to ignore the disdain of the mentally impaired people. Looking back at Lin Shiyao, who is calm and self-contained on his side, he couldn't help asking, "ah Yao, you already know that, didn't you?"

"Well, I heard about it when the house was renovated." Lin Shiyao touched his nose funny. He could hear the gunpowder in Su Shuifu's words. I can also hear that the reason why she lost face in front of her apprentice is that she didn't inform her in advance.

Lin siyao really knew this rule when Feng Laoliu and other carpenters were making furniture for the two of them, chatting about the advantages and disadvantages of living in the remote village west. However, because he didn't know in advance that it would cause her rare anger, he didn't even think of it as a conversation between the two.

"But didn't you go to the foot of Xiufeng for fishing this time? Is it always a public area? " Su Shuifu still couldn't figure it out.

"That's because -" Tian Dabao said with a long voice, after a long time in Su Shuizhen's expectation, he continued to explain
