Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

After watching Li Bowen ride away on his bike.

Liu Lan happily carried the fish, closed the door, got on the board and returned home.

"Are you here to put something away today?" Her man's voice came from the room.

"Well, they put two baskets of things and gave us two fish. I'll prepare the fish and soak them in salt water. I'll stew them for you tomorrow!" Liu Lan responded, took a basin and started to clean the fish.

It is best to keep fish alive, otherwise it has to be frozen or refrigerated. In the past, wealthy families would store food in ice cellars, but ordinary people did not have the conditions, so they invented some methods, such as smoking, roasting or salting.

The same goes for fish. If it is to be eaten within a day or two, it can be preserved for a few days without spoiling by removing the fish's internal organs and soaking it in salt water without washing or scraping the scales.

Liu Lan is using this method now. She hollows out the fish, soaks it in salt water, and then puts it in the cellar. This way, it can be preserved for a longer time.

Li Bowen returned to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang. In order not to arouse suspicion, he did not put all the things into the space. He directly pushed the car into the yard without unloading it. He went to the middle yard to call Sha Zhu and asked him to deal with the fish. He then slipped back into the house to sleep.

It has been more than a week, and Li Bowen has finally returned. It is time to make a small profit again, and He Yuzhu is working extra hard.

When Li Bowen came back, he did not hide it. Everyone in the compound saw it. When He Yuzhu was killing the fish, a bunch of people gathered around him. The focus of everyone's discussion was how many days it would take to eat so much!

I can't help swallowing my saliva just watching the fish being killed.

He Yuzhu glanced around and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. This is what Bowen purchased for the factory. We can't have any less."

There was no point in thinking about the things in the factory. After looking at them for a while, they all dispersed.

Only the third uncle still stubbornly stood by He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, how do you make this fish offal delicious?"

"You've asked the right person. Stir-fry the scallions, ginger and garlic, add the fish offal and stir-fry, add strong white wine to remove the fishy smell, then add green and red peppers and soy sauce or chili sauce, simmer until the sauce is reduced, and drizzle with a little bit of vinegar. It tastes amazing!" He Yuzhu introduced the fish to the third uncle while gutting it.

"Oh, just listening to this makes my mouth water. Zhuzi, can you give some of this fish offal to the third uncle?" In order to have a bite, Yan Bugui tried his best.

"Uncle, this won't do. These are all public property!"

Yan Bugui didn't believe this nonsense. It was public property, and you, He Yuzhu, took a big basin from your home to hold it, and you handled it so cleanly, who are you trying to fool?

"But!" He Yuzhu said with a long tone.

"You said, as long as the Third Master can do it, I will do it for you!"

"Uncle, look at all the things we have put on the tricycle. I'm afraid someone might miss them in the middle of the night. If you can help keep an eye on them, how about you take half of the fish offal tomorrow?" He Yuzhu glanced at the central courtyard, and the meaning was very clear; he was ready to do something bad.

The Third Uncle was also a smart guy. When he was standing there watching just now, he had already noticed the twinkling look in Jia Zhang's eyes. Now he understood what Sha Zhu said, but his greed overcame his thoughts, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Third Uncle, I'll watch for you. If someone comes, I'll shout to catch the thief, but whether you can catch him or not is up to you."

He Yuzhu grinned: "Okay, with your uncle, even if she doesn't come tonight, I will give you a share tomorrow!"

Why did He Yuzhu want to do something bad to deal with Jia Zhang? It all happened two days ago. When He Yuzhu came back from get off work that day, he just walked into the gate and happened to see Qin Huairu walking in front of him. He was just about to take two quick steps forward to say something.

Seeing Qin Huairu stagger and nearly fall, He Yuzhu didn't care about the intimacy between men and women, and rushed forward to support Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu swayed twice and then fell into He Yuzhu's arms. This frightened him so much that he quickly grabbed Qin Huairu and ran towards the Jia family in the middle courtyard. When the people in the courtyard saw this, they hurriedly followed.

After feeding Qin Huairu water and pinching her Ren Zhong acupoint, she finally woke up. When she asked, she found out that she was just hungry.

Looking at Jia Zhang's figure, and then at his own white moonlight, He Yuzhu couldn't help but mutter a few words: "What the hell, he eats like a pig and lets his pregnant daughter-in-law starve, bah!"

This caused trouble. Jia Zhang immediately started howling, cursing Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, and then calling for Old Jia.

Although this matter was stopped by Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu who were rushed back, He Yuzhu was furious when he saw Bai Yueguang's aggrieved look, and he started to think about Jia Zhang.

Just when I was thinking about how to deal with her, I found a way.

When everyone in the compound surrounded Li Bowen's tricycle, He Yuzhu deliberately rummaged through the items inside in front of Jia Zhangshi, and shouted loudly to Li Bowen that the items were placed in the yard and there was no need to worry about them being lost.

He Yuzhu believed that with Jia Zhang's personality, she would definitely take action at night.

After all the fish were cleaned up, He Yuzhu used the same method to soak the fish in salt water, and then carried the large basin of fish back to his room. Soon the yard became quiet and the lights in every room were turned off.

But there were eyes staring from behind several windows.

Time slowly passed until it was around twelve o'clock. The only sounds in the courtyard were the chirping of crickets and the snoring of varying pitches coming from each room, like a symphony.

A figure quietly opened the door, holding a basket in his hand, tiptoed out and went to the front yard.

Jia Zhang listened around and didn't notice anything unusual, so she tiptoed to Li Bowen's tricycle, lifted a corner of the cotton cloth, reached in, peeled off the straw inside, and began to feel for the eggs.

One, two, three, five, ten, they were just feeling happy when they heard a loud shout: "Catch the thief, catch the thief, there's a thief in the yard!"

Jia Zhang was distracted and the basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the eggs broke into pieces.

In the main room of the middle courtyard, in order to act more realistically, He Yuzhu, shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts without any shoes, jumped out of the house and went straight to the front yard.

He blocked Jia Zhang who was about to escape.

Looking at the fat body, He Yuzhu jumped up and kicked Jia Zhang, who flew back directly. She fainted without even a scream.

He Yuzhu shouted, "Young and old men, come quickly, I kicked the thief down!"

Several young men who heard the noise ran out first. When they saw the thief lying on the ground, they were unwilling to let him go and started kicking him hard.

When Jia Zhang woke up from the pain and screamed, several people realized that it was a woman: "Why is it a woman?"

After taking a closer look, he said, "Fuck, isn't this Jia Zhang?"
