Allure of a Country Maiden

Shen Chengyao, Shen Zixuan, and Li Zhewei carried a large barrel of fish onto an ox cart. This ox cart was pushed over when Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu went home to get the bathtub and basket. Shen Chengyao pushed the bullock cart back to Liu's house. A large bucket of fish was jumping around in the barrel, making a lot of water droplets. Under the sun, the water droplets shone with colorful light, and the white fish scales were glowing with silver, which blinded the villagers. eyes.

Back at the Liu family, such a large bucket of fish also stunned the women in the family.

Tan murmured: So there are so many fish in the river? It's usually difficult to get even one or a half of them. Are they committing mass suicide today?

Pfft! Li Zhewei burst into laughter. Seeing everyone else looking at him, he hurriedly adjusted his expression: Sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment. What this lady said was really funny, and I couldn't help it.

Xiaoer also found out that Liu Jingshu inherited the Tan family name.

Xiaoer's uncle is not at home today and works in a lumber shop in the county. The family is full of women, so Shen Chengyao is responsible for entertaining Shen Zixuan and Li Zhewei.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu Lin both went to work in the kitchen, and Mrs. Tan held her little sister in her arms. When guests come, they must add vegetables. Xiaoer and Liu Jingshu also went to the kitchen to help. She asked Liu to make fish soup and white peony and river shrimp, and then she sliced ​​the fish into thin slices and cooked it. I made a pickled fish, steamed a two-color fish head, made a diving fish, and also made a plate of braised white eel. In addition to the stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, fried rapeseed with garlic and stir-fried eggs with chives that Liu and the others had prepared before, there were exactly ten dishes. Seated at two tables, all the fish dishes on the table were eaten.

Xiao'er, your cooking skills are really amazing, even my aunt is a little ashamed. After eating Xiao'er's cooking, she even disliked her own cooking.

The food cooked by my aunt is also delicious. It's just that the fish was caught by myself, so everyone thinks it tastes better because there is emotion in it. Xiaoer thinks Tan's cooking is quite delicious, and Her dish she used space water cheat, of course different levels.

Although the term emotional division sounds new, everyone understands it and feels that there is a reason for it.

Zixuan, next time Mu Xiu, I will go home with you, and you can go to Xiaoer's house for dinner! Xiaoer, please remember to cook and entertain us. Zhe Weiwei will bring you delicious food.

Okay, what do you have to eat? Xiaoer readily agreed. Although Li Zhewei knew at first glance that he was a young man from a big family, he had no airs at all and was quite easy-going. She was also willing to interact with friends. There are more roads to travel.

Master Li is just here, you don't need to bring anything. Shen Chengyao glared at Xiaoer.

Third uncle, I am Zixuan's classmate. You can just call me Zhewei. Mr. Li is too unfamiliar. Li Zhewei felt that he must have a good relationship with the Shen family. The food cooked by that girl was so to his liking. , he has been hungry for too long. He has a picky mouth and is very picky about food. He usually eats just a little bit until he is not hungry. But today, he actually wanted to eat the dishes after eating them. It was like a manna suddenly appeared after a long drought.

Shen Chengyao felt that Li Zhewei was a little over-enthusiastic, but he nodded.

After dinner, Liu Jingshu took Xiaoer to pick jujubes to eat. This year's jujubes grew particularly well, big and sweet.

Xiao'er, you pick the fruits under the tree, and I'll go up the tree to pick them. After saying this, he climbed up the tree, obviously doing this often.

Xiaoer, take it. Xiaoer saw her dropping a date and reached out to catch it.

Seeing Xiaoer catch it, he praised: Xiaoer is so awesome! Keep going. Then he picked and threw it away, and Xiaoer caught it. Liu Jingshu was so surprised when she saw that Xiaoer had caught them all, so she threw even harder, and the two of them played a game of throwing and catching.

When Li Zhewei came out, he saw a woman wearing pink coarse cloth, jumping up and down the tree like an elf, playfully teasing the little girl under the tree, and her silver bell-like laughter directly reached the bottom of his heart. He felt that his heart was beating much faster.

Okay, cousin, that's enough, I've picked a lot. Xiaoer was a little tired after receiving it, and was busy interrupting someone.

Liu Jingshu originally wanted to continue picking more, but when she saw that there were more people under the tree, she was too embarrassed to stay in the tree any longer, so she climbed down from the top of the tree and jumped down halfway.

Li Zhewei kept looking at Liu Jingshu, and when he saw her jumping down, he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Without thinking, he ran over, stretched out his hand, and caught her.

Liu Jingshu always came down from the tree like this. She never thought that one day someone would catch her. She stayed in someone's arms and stared at the other person unable to react.

Li Zhewei looked at the frightened woman in his arms and couldn't help but feel grateful: Fortunately, he was only two steps away from her. Thinking that she had done such a dangerous action just now, she couldn't help scolding her: Next time you must not do such a dangerous thing again. What if you fall?

Xiaoer frowned after hearing this. Why did this sound a bit doting and distressed? After taking a look at Li Zhewei's expression, his eyes were so soft that he could cry. Yes, there was adultery!

Hearing his words, Liu Jingshu realized that she was still in his arms and struggled to leave his arms. Her face was as red as an apple. She lowered her head and said, Thank you, sir, for saving me. Then she ran into the house with a blushing face. .

Xiao'er looked at her cousin and raised her eyebrows. Did the two of them look at each other?

Others also came out. Seeing Liu Jingshu running in with a blushing face, Zhiwen asked: What's wrong with sister? She's so red?

It's okay, the sun is drying it. She picked dates from the tree for a long time. These dates are very sweet. I'll wash them for you to eat. Xiaoer helped the two of them cover up. After all, the reputation of this ancient woman was very important. , being touched by a man's finger is a big deal, let alone being held in his arms. And the status of these two people is too different, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve positive results.

Xiaoer cleaned a plate of dates and took it out and placed it on the stone table. Under the date tree, there happened to be a stone table and a few stone chairs for sitting in the cool air. Jing Rui, Jing Hao, Zhiwen and Zhiwu kept asking them about things in the academy, and they answered patiently.

Xiaoer put down the dates: You guys have a try, I'll get some bait.

Several people stopped talking after hearing this, and all wanted to see how the bait was made.

Xiao'er, whatever you need, I'll prepare it. Liu Zhiwu said positively.

Then help me get some rice bran, wheat bran and flour. I'll get some water. In front of them, Xiaoer took an empty bowl and filled it with water in the water tank on the patio, then turned slightly sideways. Blocking other people's sight, he quickly switched the bowl of water prepared in the space with this bowl.

Xiaoer brought a bowl of space water over, then mixed half a bowl of rice bran, half a bowl of wheat bran, and half a bowl of flour, then poured in water and stirred.

Xiao'er, just doing this little bit isn't enough. Li Zhewei was dissatisfied when he saw that Xiao'er only made such a small ball of bait. He thought it was too little even if he wanted all of it himself.

Yes, Xiaoer, please make more. Zhiwu also felt that it was missing, so he brought two bowls of each item.

Then you can bring another bowl of water, but I think it's enough. If this bait is successfully made, a small ball can attract a lot of fish. If it fails, it will be a waste to make more.

Then we have to do more. What if we don't succeed this time? How about we do it twice more? And Xiao'er, have you forgotten something? Li Zhewei saw how easy it was to make the bait. I'm a bit doubtful that Xiao'er has left something out.

No, this bait is just these things. The key is the mixing ratio and the strength of stirring. These two points must be grasped accurately, so that the flavors of these things can be blended together into a taste that fish like. Xiao Xiao Er said deceitfully.

At everyone's request, Xiaoer made two more bowls, and then the two brothers Shen Zixuan, Li Zhewei and Zhiwen Zhiwu divided the three bowls of bait into three equal parts. Several people held three bags of different baits, which they all regarded as treasures.

It was past noon, and Shen Chengyao said he wanted to go home. My little sister was still young and it was not good to walk at night. Shen Zixuan and Li Zhewei also have to go back to the academy.

Mrs. Tan divided the jujubes she had just picked into three portions and asked them to take them away. She originally wanted to give them some fish to take away, but no one wanted them. They said there was bait and they could catch them when they went back, so she gave up.

When Li Zhewei got the dates, he wanted to look like the pink figure on the tree, so he couldn't help but hold the bag of dates tighter.

Xiaoer secretly added a lot of space water into the barrel. Those fish should be able to be raised for a while. She said to Mrs. Tan: Auntie, just let uncle take the fish to the county and sell them tomorrow. I think they are still like this. They are vigorous and should be alive tomorrow. If we can't sell them all, we will pickle them with salt and dry them in the sun.

Tan agreed, and the group of people left.
