Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 53 The Temptation of Big Fish

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao, carrying a fishing rod and fish, walked on the road, coming and going, and became a presence that attracted people's attention.

It was still a bit cold at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road with the preparation of dinner.

But as long as they saw Yang Xiaotao, no one could pull out their eyes.

The three fish, especially the biggest one, were half a meter long and almost reached the ground with their tails hanging.

That's all meat, even if it's fish, it's still meat.

For such a big fish, there is always a bit of oily water on its body, so save some food, enough to feed a family for a few days.

More importantly, this guy is carrying three fish in his hand.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao's attire, it is naturally clear that he came back from fishing.

At this moment, many people have plans to go fishing tomorrow.

Walking into the alley, Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw the third master who was repairing the flower bed.

Today, the third master heard that Yang Xiaotao was growing vegetables in the front yard, so he came up with the idea of ​​growing vegetables outside the house.

When I went home and discussed with my third mother, both of them were happy, thinking that they could grow their own vegetables to eat in the future, maybe they could go to the pigeon market to exchange some money tickets.

Excited, the third master went to Yi Zhonghai to talk about it, of course he didn't say anything about growing vegetables, he just said that he wanted to use the place in front of the door.

They've been old foxes for many years, so how can Yi Zhonghai not know what Yan Fugui is thinking?
As soon as he thought of the situation in front of Yang Xiaotao's house today, he immediately knew Yan Fugui's plan.

After pondering for a while, he said to Yan Fugui.

"The front of the courtyard represents the face of the courtyard."

"What's more, strictly speaking, that area does not belong to the compound, but belongs to the street office. If you want to use it, you can go to the street to run it."

When Yan Fugui heard this, his mind was lost.

Isn't it training him to let him go to the street to do it?

So, the matter was left alone, and it was better for him to take care of the flowers.

After loosening the soil inside and pruning the branches, Yan Fugui lifted up and moved his body.

Holding on to the glasses casually, he was stunned at the sight.

"Xiaotao? You're back!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao approaching, Yan Fugui stared straight at the fish in his hand, swallowing saliva in his throat, making his stomach that hadn't eaten even worse.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at San Yan Fugui, and suddenly remembered that in the front yard, San Ma said something fair, so he didn't put on a cold face.

"Third Master, you are tidying up the garden."

"Uh, umm."

After hearing this, Yan Fugui hummed twice, but kept his eyes on the fish in his hand.

"This fish..."

"I went fishing today."

"Ah, fishing, oops, I was going to go today, but I was delayed by something. Oops."

Yan Fugui looked at Yang Xiaotao carrying the fishing rod, full of regret in his heart.

If he went fishing, at least half of the three fish in front of him would be his own.

He is confident in his fishing skills.

But I don't know that someone is a jerk, and it has nothing to do with technology.

"Hehe, it's not too late to go fishing tomorrow."

Yang Xiaotao saw what the third master was thinking, so he didn't say anything. The old man who was still fishing didn't get much.

He went to Yan Fugui, probably because of loneliness.

Ignoring Yan Fugui, Yang Xiaotao was about to enter the door.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui immediately stepped forward and stood aside with a smile on his face.

"Third Master, what are you?"

Yang Xiaotao asked with a frown.

He didn't like this calculating abacus, but he didn't have any opinions.

In this era, if you are not stingy, how can you survive if you don't plan carefully.

It's okay for Yan Fugui to plan carefully, but the premise is not to play with his ideas.

This matter is entangled, and if there is the first time, there will be a second time.

"That, Xiaotao."

"You are such a big fish, and you don't even know how to cook. Isn't this a waste?"

"The country is still under construction, and waste is not acceptable. We are all cultural people, so we can't do this kind of thing."

"That's it. Come to my house and ask your third mother to help make it. It happens that the third master still has a bottle of wine. The two of us have a drink too."

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he was about to drag Yang Xiaotao home.

Yang Xiaotao leaned aside, let go of his enthusiastic hands, and the third master rushed to nothing.

After hearing this, why don't you know his plan?

This is going to his house, it is estimated that the three fish must be surnamed Yan.

Besides, by myself, even if I eat, I can't eat the whole family of the third master.

"Me, isn't this helping Uncle Chen's house, so I won't bother the third mother."

Yang Xiaotao refused with a smile, but he didn't say anything dead, turned around and walked inside.

Yan Fugui looked at Yang Xiaotao who was walking away and stomped his feet fiercely.

"My family also needs help."

"Little bastard with no conscience, how many meals would it take to eat such a big fish piece by piece?"

Yan Fugui stomped his feet in a hurry, but the expectations of the three mothers' family who had been watching here in the room were severely shattered.

"This Yang Xiaotao is too ignorant. People who don't unite with the compound will suffer sooner or later."

Yan Jiecheng said unhappily, but Yan Jiefang who was on the side looked at Yan Fugui.

"Dad, what are you doing with the fishing rod?"

Yan Fugui was feeling distressed. Thinking of not being able to go fishing today, it was like losing 100 yuan. Under the heartache, he resolutely went fishing.

"I'm going fishing."

Leaving his back behind, he quickly disappeared at the door.

"Father, let's go after dinner."

After the three mothers shouted, there was no shadow of Yan Fugui.

Yang Xiaotao carried the fish and walked all the way to the middle courtyard.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard was cooking, and they were envious when they saw the big fish Yang Xiaotao was carrying.

Wave after wave of people came up to greet, with various ideas.

Silly Zhu was frying cabbage, and there was a piece of pork beside him, which he bought from the market today. He planned to invite the uncle and the Jia family to have dinner at home to celebrate his passing the eighth-level examination.

In the room, He Yushui was smelling the fragrance, and suddenly saw Yang Xiaotao outside, and then saw the big fish in his hand.

"Brother, Yang Xiaotao's fish is so big."

He Yushui shouted, Shazhu looked up and saw the fish in Yang Xiaotao's hand.

"Oh my god, such a big fish!"

After finishing speaking, he ran to the yard and looked at the fish.

"The fish head can be made into chopped pepper fish head, and the fish meat can be stir-fried. The bones of such a big fish can also be used to make soup. But the fish meat is very hard, so it needs to be fried hard!"

Silly Zhu fully demonstrated the instinct of a cook, talking continuously around the biggest fish, completely treating Yang Xiaotao as a display.

"Silly Zhu, you're blocking my way."

Seeing Silly Zhu running out with a rice shovel, muttering there, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to talk to him.

This person has the wrong name, but not the wrong nickname.

A few days ago, he was beaten to the ground by Yang Xiaotao, but now not only did he not blush when he saw her, he was also very natural.

It's either a lack of muscle or really worrying about it.

Perhaps, this is the character of the silly column.

"hey-hey"

Silly Zhu is indeed very honest, thick-skinned enough, in his words, the past will be overturned.

"Man, you caught this fish."

Looking at Yang Xiaotao, Shazhu felt a distorted feeling in his lower abdomen. He was beaten so hard these two times, and he also knew that Yang Xiaotao was a ruthless person, and he couldn't beat him himself.

Facing someone who is stronger than him, it is natural to lower your posture.

Seeing Sha Zhu bowing his head like this, the people around smiled and pointed.

"Silly Zhu, you forgot to be beaten?"

"Okay, the scar has forgotten the pain, did you lose your temper so quickly?"

"Erpilian, Shazhu must be a dog."

A few people didn't see outside, they were talking loudly at the side.

Shazhu raised his head.

"What are you talking about, you have nothing to do, right?"

"Stop eating?"

As soon as the aura of the God of War in the courtyard came out, several people immediately shut up and turned to go home.

"Humph!"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly, with a haughty expression on his face.

None of these people is enough for him to hammer.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Just when he was feeling majestic, Yang Xiaotao spoke angrily, raised his leg and kicked his lower abdomen.

Silly Zhu only felt his body tilted, and he got out of the way.

This time Yang Xiaotao didn't use any force, but just pushed away, but it shocked Silly Zhu, and the memory in his bones made him dodge instinctively.

Then he watched Yang Xiaotao walk away slowly without even looking at him.

"Hey, don't spoil this fish."

"I said, I'll make you a meal, just give me one, even a small one."

After Shazhu jumped away, he quickly realized that he had the cheek to ask for it again.

The big ones don't dare to think about the small ones, it's still three or four catties.

But Yang Xiaotao ignored him at all, walked into the yard, talked to Aunt Chen, and walked into the house.

Sha Zhu returned home dejectedly, still feeling regretful in his heart.

In the west wing room, when Sha Zhu came out, Mrs. Jia Zhang lay on the window and looked out.

Originally, I thought that Sha Zhu could get a fish, so I would go to Sha Zhu's house to have a big dinner in the evening.

But who would have thought that Shazhu didn't get it at all, and went back to the house empty-handed.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao approaching the room, Jia Zhang couldn't help cursing anymore.

"This damned little bastard doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. My old lady hasn't eaten fish for a long time, and she doesn't know how to respect me, an old man."

"The fish is so big, how can one person eat it? I don't have any sympathy. It has grown for so many years in vain."

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat back on the stool, Qin Huairu who was washing vegetables at the side lowered his head and thought, "You don't know what the relationship between our family and Yang Xiaotao is?"

"You still want people to honor you, you really think people are stupid."

However, Qin Huairu is also envious of the big fish, especially now that she is pregnant with a child, her stomach is short of oil and water, and the old man in the village said that the child will be smart if she eats fish during pregnancy, so she is even more eager for the big fish.

"Shazhu is really stupid, grab it if you don't give it, what a softie!"

Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed and chattering. He just came back from outside today. After playing with his buddies for a long time, he went home to look for something to eat because he was bored.

How could I want to see Yang Xiaotao, so I couldn't help feeling angry.

Qin Huairu remained silent, washing the cabbage clapper in his hand, and preparing dinner.

I was also speechless about this man in my heart.

At this moment, He Yushui ran over in a hurry.

"Aunt Zhang, Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin."

"My brother cooked a meal to celebrate his passing the examination. I invite you to dinner."

He Yushui said and came to Qin Huairu's side, "Yushui, your brother is not easy, so we won't go."

"No? Why not?"

Jia Zhang immediately jumped up, and Jia Dongxu also got out of bed with a bitter face, and the two of them were about to walk to the door.

Qin Huairu's face turned red, but He Yushui put down the cabbage in her hand.

"Sister Qin, let's go. My brother bought some meat. Let's eat braised pork tonight."

Qin Huairu smiled shyly, stroked her stomach, and followed quickly.

At Uncle Chen's house, Uncle Chen skillfully cleaned up the big fish, while teaching Yang Xiaotao his experience.

"You fish, so big, how did you get it?"

"Others have never seen such a big one when fishing. You boy, this is really lucky."

Yang Xiaotao accompanied him with a smiling face, "Yes, it's just luck. Haha."

"You kid, you are lucky."

"The braised silver carp cooked by your aunt is well-known in all towns and villages."

Aunt Chen on the side began to put the fish into the pot. A whole big fish took up more than half of the pot.

"It's one thing to know how to cook fish, but you have to have fish to do it."

"You have nothing to do at home all day, go fishing for me later."

Uncle Chen's face turned pale. He is not a person who can live. It is more difficult for him to fish than to go to the workshop.

"Auntie, I will go fishing in the future, if the uncle finds it, you can keep it and do it."

"Haha, I am willing to do this job."

After a while, the remaining two fish were also cleaned up, and Uncle Chen hung them with two ropes.

"Take it back and hang it up. It will become dried fish in a few days. Eat it when you're hungry."

Yang Xiaotao took it, but he said too much, "Okay, I'll come back when the time comes."

"Little bastard, you only think of good things."

"Hurry up and find a wife, and let your aunt pass on this craft."

Uh.
"This, I will try my best."
