back to the field

Li San's psychological history will not be told to others, but this does not prevent Qin Yu from using him to spread rumors and slander his daughter's innocence, punish him severely, and put down his harsh words: "Li San , this matter is not over, just wait and see!"

There are quite a few people surnamed Qin in the village, and they are more or less related to Qin Yu. Li San, a foreign surname who moved from his ancestors, has few brothers to help him, and life in the village will definitely be very difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Li San's legs trembled slightly, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "Tang Sihai told me all about it!"

"You believe what people say, why are you so brainless?" Tang Sixian took the opportunity to scold.

Qin Yu glared at her, wondering if this kid was too capable of causing trouble, could his mother-in-law be involved? !

So she didn't like her everywhere, "It's not your turn to intervene in our village's affairs, get out!"

Tang Sixian responded with a grin, and walked away swaggeringly.

When the villagers saw Qin Yu's attitude, they didn't regard Tang Sixian as one of their own just like Li Zheng treated his tenant farmers.In addition to this kind of employment relationship, it is similar to when villagers hire customers to work. Qin Yu's actions are not like joining outsiders to take advantage of the village, but he is biased towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu gathered a group of relatives, friends and neighbors to go to the Tang family to seek justice, and they followed suit.

Tang Sixian, who returned home, did not know what the follow-up of this matter would be.

After she put down her things, she lifted the wooden board above the water tank and dripped some spiritual springs on the small fish inside. After counting carefully, she found that a few were missing.

The fish must have been stolen, but there was no evidence of whoever stole it, so she could only curse in her heart, and decided to move the water tank into the kitchen and lock it up when she went out.

After finishing these things, she began to deal with the fish in the space.

Making fish balls without a machine is not only time-consuming, but also labor-intensive.

Deboning and slicing the fish are not strenuous tasks. The real effort is to beat the fish into minced fish.There are also places that use a knife to scrape the fish meat to obtain minced fish, but Tang Sixian looked at the knife at home and thought it would be easier to beat it, so she bought a rolling pin for this.

She first debones the fish and saves the head for soup, then takes out the skin and red meat slices for snacks, and finally soaks the deboned fish in water for four hours until the flesh turns whiter.

Taking advantage of the gap, she also went into the mountain to collect two days' worth of firewood.

On the way back, I met a peddler selling candied fruit.Although Tang Qingman said not to waste money, Tang Sixian thought that there should be a little festive atmosphere, so he bought a few taels back.

The fish meat soaked in the water turned white. Tang Sixian chopped them up, put them into a clay pot, added egg whites and kneaded them while pounding.

This step required a lot of physical strength, and Tang Sixian didn't know whether it was the Lingquan that improved her body. She didn't feel tired after beating for a long time.

From the high sun to the west slant of the sun, Tang Sixian took out the white balls blanched in warm water and put them in a bamboo basket to drain.She raised her arms, which were heavy, as if they were no longer her arms.

"It seems that Lingquan can improve the human body, but it's not to the point where people don't get tired." Tang Sixian muttered.

Hearing the movement outside the door, she took most of the fish balls and fish heads back into the space.Tang Qingman stretched out his upper body in the next second and asked her, "Sixian, what are you doing?"

"Prepare dinner." Tang Si said enviously, "You came back quite early today."

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Liang family asked us to go home early to reunite with our family." After Tang Qingman finished speaking, he seemed to think of his relatives who had already been in the underworld, and his mood was depressed.

"That time was just right, come and help me cook, my arm is sore."

Tang Qingman didn't see anything when she called Tang Qingman. The latter calmed down and saw some mess in the kitchen, and there were some white meatballs, fish heads, and fish skins, and exclaimed: "What are these?"

"These are fish meatballs. You use the fish head to stew the soup, and the fish skin is blanched for me first, and then rinsed in cold water..."

Relying on his sore arm, Tang Sixian started to cook.

It's not that Tang Qingman doesn't know how to cook, but she didn't feel annoyed by Tang Sixian's "buzzing" in her ears. Instead, she cooked fish head soup according to the other party's instructions, and made a cold fish skin , stewed fish balls and a steamed egg.

Fish balls, mushrooms, lettuce, etc. were made into chowder, and the aroma overflowed as soon as it came out of the pot. The two of them who hadn't eaten for most of the day suddenly felt hungry.

"It looks like floating yuanzi." Tang Qingman poked at the fish balls floating on the soup and studied them curiously.

Tang Sixian chewed with two fish balls stuffed in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What is a floating yuan?"

"It's for the Lantern Festival, don't you know?" Tang Qingman was curious, "Are these fish meatballs made in your hometown?"

"Oh, that's probably the glutinous rice balls we're talking about." Tang Sixian said vaguely, "Many places in the south of the Yangtze River can make fish balls, and it's not unique to my hometown."

"It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge—" Tang Qingman just wanted to praise her for her extensive knowledge, but when she thought of many common senses in life, this person didn't know anything, so she changed her words, "I've seen a lot of interesting stories."

Tang Si enviously said: "Taste this fish ball quickly. If it tastes good, I think fish that cannot be sold in the future can be made into fish balls and sold. I don't know how the market will be."

This is a very important matter, Tang Qingman didn't bother to study the fish balls, he spooned one into his mouth.The fish balls have the deliciousness of the fish, and the soup seems to burst from the inside, and the mouth is full of umami.After tasting it carefully, she can find that the fish balls are slightly elastic, delicate and smooth. She has never eaten such a delicious thing!

"How do you do this? But you can't see any fish." Tang Qingman was surprised.

"Next time I ask you for help, eat first!"

Tang Sixian was worried that the delicacies of her time were different from the tastes of the ancients, but Tang Qingman's boast made her feel confident, and she planned to find an appropriate time to sell fish balls.

Before the delicious dinner was finished, someone outside the door shouted impatiently: "Tang Sixian, Tang Sixian!"

Tang Sixian put down his chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves and went out: "Who, disturbing other people's meals, if you want to kill them, it's a heinous crime, do you know that?"

Seeing that she was full of aura, the man no longer had the bad attitude as before, smiled awkwardly, and said: "The deputy head of the village is looking for you."

Tang Si envy heard that it was the cheap uncle, so he waved: "No."

The man was in a hurry: "The deputy head of the village is looking for you to ask about the fact that the Qin family hired you to fish."

"The Qin family broke the law by hiring me to fish? He wanted to ask me a question, why didn't he come to me?"

"..."

The man didn't expect her to be so arrogant, so he tried to persuade her again, and told her about Qin Yu's visit to Tang Sihai to settle the matter. Because the matter involved a lot and the head of the village was not in the village, the deputy head of the village had to do it. Tang Caisheng handled it.

"Is Tang Sihai going to be unlucky?" Tang Sixian asked again.

The man hesitated and nodded.Tang Sihai provoked the Qin family and made trouble outside. He was suspected of ruining the reputation of the Tang family. Naturally, he would be dealt with, but how to deal with it would be difficult, so it is best to call Tang Sixian to confront him to minimize the impact .

Tang Sixian smiled "hehe" and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"

The man froze for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Since you know, don't you hurry up? Isn't the moon beautiful? Why should I go to see Tang Sihai and the Tang family? Don't disturb me and my family to enjoy the moon."

After Tang Sixian finished speaking, he went back to the room and closed the door.

After a while, there was no movement outside. Tang Qingman opened the door and took a look. The man had already left.

She returned to the table and asked worriedly, "Will uncle be angry if you don't go?"

Tang Sixian knew what she was thinking, and said: "I will try my best to fulfill your father's last wish, but there is no need to please them in a servile way."

After finishing speaking, he paused again, "But speaking of it, that Deputy Chief Zhuang is your only living relative. If you want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, then I will take you there."

Tang Qingman's heart tightened, he shook his head and said, "No need, I don't really want to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with them."

Tang Si envied not to force her, thinking that he could escape tonight, but not tomorrow, so he better get more allies before tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she looked at the dishes on the table, picked out some, and specially arranged them to look nice, as if they had just been cooked.

She said: "I'll go find the local scholar, you can eat the rest, and you can wait for me to come back and clear the table after eating."

Before Tang Qingman could call her to stop, she ran away quickly.

Looking at the remaining dishes, Tang Qingman didn't finish eating in the end. She saved some for Tang Sixian, then cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen, and finally went to boil the water.

-

It was almost dusk, and at this time, many families in the village had already had dinner.When Tang Sixian arrived at Qin's house, the Qin's family didn't serve the food because Qin Yu came back a little late.

"Country scribe." Tang Sixian shouted outside, his attitude was much more reserved and peaceful than during the day.

Qin Yu came out with a sullen face, seeing her, he wished he could chase people away with a broom: "What are you doing?"

"Isn't it because the local scholar hired me to work when I was desperate, and I couldn't repay him, so I made some food to show my respect to the rural scholar!"

If Tang Qingman was here, seeing her dog-legged appearance, he would definitely question the arrogant words she just said.

Qin Yu glanced at the dish she was holding in her hand, but couldn't see what it was, seeing the gossiping eyes from left and right, he simply called her into the room.

Qin Zhen was helping to arrange the chopsticks at the table, and Tang Sixian said that she should be polite, but she didn't dare to greet her under the eyes of her parents, lest she be called a prodigal son.

On the Qin family's table were two big dishes, one stewed fish with black bean sauce, one lettuce bacon, and two pickled side dishes.

Pickled side dishes are usually made from melons or vegetables, and are very salty. In this way, when eating porridge during the day, you have to drink several mouthfuls of rice soup after a small bite, and you will feel full after a few mouthfuls.

Tang Sixian originally thought that with the Qin family's family background, she would not be so frugal. It seems that her estimation of the family's financial resources in this era was not accurate enough.

While her mind was wandering, Su Shi asked her: "Tang Dalang, have you eaten yet?"

She came back to her senses, and seeing Qin Yu warning her with his eyes, he touched his stomach, and said insincerely: "Eat."

Su said: "Looks like I'm not full, let's sit down and eat some!"

Tang Sixian put down the dishes she brought, and said while picking up the bowl: "How embarrassing! You are so warm and kind-hearted! Here, I feel the warmth that people's hearts should have."

Qin Yu's mouth twitched.

The author has something to say: Tang Moujian: Is dinner ready?What is this called? It's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time?

The Qin family: ...
