Getting rich in chronology

Crayfish are delicious but difficult to clean up, and it takes a lot of effort to clean them up.

Fortunately, the Shen family needed people the most. After Chen Yu explained how to clean it, he didn't need to do it. He moved a small bench and sat around the lobster basin with an old loofah pulp in each hand.

This is a cleaning utensil for cleaning pots and dishes in the countryside. It is similar to a steel wool ball, but it is softer. It is very suitable for brushing crayfish.

According to Chen Yu's requirements, clean the whole body, especially the abdomen, and cut off the front part of the head and chest. The stomach is inside, which is the dirtiest part.

There are three forks on the buttocks, the middle one is connected to the intestines, twist and pull, and the intestines are cleaned out.

It is said that the meat of crayfish without guts will be firmer, but Chen Yu likes to eat them clean.

And when he started eating, if he said he was going to go to the intestines, I guess everyone wouldn't care so much, so it's better to clean it up first.

Taking advantage of the time downstairs to deal with the crayfish, Chen Yu went to prepare other seasonings and side dishes first, Grandma Shen would not let him do it, and immediately arranged for Chen Yu's second aunt to help him.

It is said that the second aunt is the best cook among the daughters-in-law in the family. Now she is the one who cooks in the same pot.

The second aunt, Miao Cui, was not talkative. Whenever Chen Yu saw her, she was always working. Even when she was watching TV last night, she put a dustpan on her lap, peeling corn while watching TV.

Chen Yu was not familiar with the Shen family's kitchen, and it was just right that he had his second aunt to help him. The family didn't have all the spices at home, but there were still basic onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers.

Seeing a few fresh cucumbers with water vapor in the dish box in the kitchen, Chen Yu also cut a few cucumber strips.

With so many people in the Shen family, it is of course impossible to have only one kitchen, and they all eat together, not to mention the time-consuming, and there is no room for them to sit.

Although it was said that there was no separation in the past, the small family usually cooks by themselves. The old couple of the Shen family ate with the eldest Shen Anguo's family.

Of course, no one can stop you from going to any son’s house to eat, even if you want to cook it yourself.

Now that the elders have moved to the small building, the food is still the same as before. The old house is next door, and it is only a few dozen steps away. It is not a problem at all.

The kitchen on the side of the small building is currently used by Shen Anmin's family. Who told him to be Shen Yu's biological father?

That is to say, the things in the kitchen are all owned by Chen Yu's family, so when he poured oil into the pot, although the second aunt looked distressed, she didn't say anything.

It's not that I'm stingy, the main reason is that I haven't seen this kind of usage of sinking fish. Others put two drops of oil into the pot, and the sinking fish directly poured half of the pot.

There is no way, it takes oil to make crayfish.

Although the old couple did not separate their families, the life of the Shen family was similar to that of a separated family. The old housekeeper took care of major affairs, and the small families earned some money for the elderly, and took care of the rest by themselves, and each family was responsible for food and expenses.

Chen Yu sent a lot of money and various supplies to Shen Anmin, when he needed a fuel ticket before, he got the fuel ticket and sent it back, so there is nothing wrong with spending a little gas.

When Shen Yu was cooking, Grandma Shen called her daughter-in-law to come and watch, and she wanted them to study hard. Next time the cat wants to eat this spicy crayfish, don't let him do it himself.

The small half pot of glistening oil made people feel distressed, and even Grandma Shen twitched the corners of her mouth.

But this is her precious grandson, what can I do, reading takes a lot of brains, isn't it just eating more oil, it should be!

Zhang Guizhi felt distressed, and at the same time, he was thinking, he had to buy some oil in the afternoon, otherwise, if Chen Yu still wanted to eat this dish tomorrow, what would he do if he ran out of oil.

She was not short of money, although Shen Anmin did not give her the money sent by Chen Yu, but most of the money earned from farming, selling grain and doing odd jobs was given to her.

Chen Yu didn't know what the elders were thinking, and if he knew it, he wouldn't care too much about it, it was a trivial matter.

You don't need to sink the fish to start the fire. Zhang Guizhi is making the fire. He just needs to tell him how big the fire is.

Skillfully fry the washed and drained crayfish in the pan, take out to control the oil, pour out part of the fried shrimp oil, leave the bottom oil to fry the spices, and then take out.

There is no bean paste at home. Chen Yu made a bowl of sauce with the chili sauce, bean paste and other seasonings made by the second aunt. And spices such as bay leaves and stir fry evenly.

At this point, the tangy smell could no longer be hidden. The younger children leaned on the kitchen door frame, stretched their necks to sniff desperately, and swallowed hard.

While sniffling, Shen Anguo's grandson couldn't help asking Huniu who was also drooling beside him: "Gu, what delicious food is Uncle Cat making?"

"Crayfish!" Huniu said the name that she heard from Chen Yu's mouth, and it was delicious.

"I really want to eat."

"I thought too, don't worry, there are a lot of them, there must be some of ours." But she saw it, it's a big bucket, so I can get some of it no matter what.

In the kitchen, the eldest aunt smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but said: "This is really delicious, just this pot of ingredients prepared by our cat, everything is delicious."

Chen Yu had already put the deep-fried red crayfish in and started to stir-fry. Hearing this, he smiled: "There's still some seasoning, maybe it's almost tasteless."

The others were stunned, this tastes bad, it's oily and there are so many seasonings, city people really know how to eat it!

There was no beer at home, so Chen Yu ordered some rice wine, simmered it for a few minutes, put the prepared cucumber segments over, stir-fried evenly, and covered the pot: "Simmer for a while and it's almost done."

"You don't care when it's almost over, you're hot." Standing in front of the stove in Da Xia Tian, ​​Chen Yu is not like Shen Qiao who doesn't like to sweat, and now the clothes on his back are wet, the old lady kept holding the cattail fan Fan him.

"I'm going to wash my face." Chen Yu also felt hot, and beads of sweat would roll off his face if he didn't wash it.

Grandma Shen was dazzled, and asked her daughters-in-law: "Do you remember?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. There are too many steps. Cooking at home is not so complicated.

But Chen Yu's second aunt Miao Cui said: "Mother, I should remember."

"Remember, you are good at cooking. We will cook this dish next time, and you will do it." Mrs. Shen said hastily.

Miao Cui nodded. The main ingredients are common, and you can grab a bucket of them casually, but it is a waste of oil and seasoning.

However, the small half of the oil that was poured into the pan to fry the shrimp just now was not all used up, and most of it was filled later. Of course, it is impossible to pour it out, and it can still be used.

Other seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper are all from their own fields and are not worth a lot of money.

If the taste is good, it is not unaffordable to toss and eat it a few times. Now the conditions at home are much better than before.

When Chen Yu came back after washing his face, he saw that the crayfish in the pot was almost stewed, tasted it, and it was okay, the bean paste itself was very salty, and there was salt in the chili sauce, so there was no need to add salt, and it was served out.

Most of the basins filled with buns and steamed buns at home are so fragrant that the mouth waters.

With such a big bucket, one pot can’t be finished, and another pot has to be fired, which is why I didn’t go to change clothes just now.

Chen Yu was about to make a move, but was kicked out by grandma: "Your second sister has learned it, let her try it, you go out to cool off, and eat something outside first, crayfish!"

Chen Yu glanced at the second aunt, and saw that she was already cooking the pot, and grandma was determined, so she went out first.

"If there's anything, call me." He only read it once, and in case he didn't remember it, he could say a few words.

"Hey, I know, get out quickly." Grandma Shen threw him out.

In the main room on the first floor, the dining table has already been set, with a pot of braised pork in the middle and a fried fish. These two dishes alone are tough enough.

In the morning, he said that he wanted to fry bacon for his grandson, but Chen Yu didn't want it. He ate a few corns, and the dish was served at noon.

In addition, there are scrambled eggs and a few vegetarian dishes, and the specially moved Big Eight Immortals table is arranged in a mess.

Only Chen Yu and the elders ate together at noon, there were only a dozen of them in total, plus brothers and sisters of the same generation and the younger generation below, there was simply no room for them.

The brothers and sisters didn't come, so the little boy couldn't bear it, it took a while for Chen Yu to cook the shrimp, and the other family's food was almost enough.

My stomach is full, and I am still hungry after smelling the fragrance, the red crayfish.

Grandma and the others are still in the kitchen, so of course they can't just start cooking, everyone is waiting for them.

But the aroma of spicy crayfish kept rushing into the nose, making the mouth water flooding.

When the second pot of prawns came, even Mr. Shen couldn't wait for it. He called the old lady and daughter-in-law to sit down quickly, and the little dolls looked for their mothers for their mothers, and for their grandmas for their grandmas, and gathered around the adults' laps.

"Eat, cat, you are welcome to eat whatever you want." The old man picked up a piece of braised pork for his grandson, and the others moved their chopsticks one after another.

"Dad, I want to eat crayfish!" Hu Niu said loudly.

"I also want!"

The children had already eaten, and the adults put some meat and crayfish in a bowl, and sent them to eat.

Huniu held a crayfish pincers and gnawed, almost chipping out a wobbly tooth.

She rubbed the soup on it, and hurriedly asked Chen Yu for help: "Brother Maoer, this crayfish can't be chewed, how can I eat it!"

"Why are you so stupid, you can't even eat." Shen Anxing laughed at his daughter unceremoniously, grabbed a crayfish and crushed the shell with a bang.

"The taste is strange, but there is too little meat." He spat out a mouthful of shrimp shells, which were mixed with some shrimp meat.

Chen Yu was shocked by his fourth uncle's bold and unrestrained way of eating, the teeth are really good.

"Eat this way, I'll teach you." Chen Yu easily twisted off the crayfish's head, took out a complete shrimp tail and fed it to Hu Niu.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious!!!" Huniu's eyes widened: "It's so delicious! I'm going to catch crayfish this afternoon!"

It's a pity that she missed such a delicious food before, her brother Mao'er is really capable!

With Chen Yu as a demonstration, everyone else will follow suit. It's not too difficult. At best, you can peel the meat with clumsy hands, and it's still edible.

The crayfish are spicy and delicious, and the meat is tender. It makes people unable to stop eating. One by one, they lower their heads and work hard to peel the shrimps. After peeling off a whole one, throwing it in the mouth is not to mention how refreshing it is.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious, but it's a little troublesome." Shen Anxing sighed while scratching the shrimp shell, and stuffed a few large pieces of braised pork into his mouth.

This kind of solid meat is satisfying, but compared to crayfish, it seems a bit greasy.

After all, the weather is too hot, and the braised pork is fatty, and it tastes no better than spicy crayfish.

Don't look at Huniu and the others, children are also very good at peeling prawns, and they are very happy to eat with oil on their mouths and faces.

There were two big pots of crayfish, not soup pots, but pots as big as washbasins, and they were all eaten up.

The cucumber sticks mixed in it were not eaten at first, but there were too many cucumbers in the vegetable garden in summer, and it was impossible to eat them all, and everyone was tired of eating them.

After the crayfish were finished, they could only eat cucumbers, only to find that the cucumber strips had absorbed the freshness of the soup during the cooking process, and had the crispness of the cucumbers. They were crunchy to the bite and tasted very good.

The cucumber strips were quickly swept away, and even the remaining soup in the basin was eaten with bibimbap.

Chen Yu ate a few and was satisfied, so he stopped eating. His grandma said that it really hurt him to eat the fried bacon. The bacon is well marinated, and he doesn't need anything. He fried it with some garlic sprouts, and it was very fragrant.

With this dish, Chen Yu could eat two bowls of white rice.

There are a lot of dishes at noon, but there are also many people eating, and everyone can eat very well, so there is no problem with a few large bowls of rice.

It looks like a lot of crayfish, but in fact there is not much meat. In the end, all the dishes on the table were swept away.

Huniu hiccupped her stomach, but still couldn't get enough of it: "It's really delicious, I'm going to catch crayfish..."

Chen Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "No matter how delicious something is, it can't be eaten as a meal. How can anyone eat this every day?"

Hu Niu pouted, this thing is everywhere, and it doesn't cost money, why can't I eat it every day.

"Okay, there will be more delicious food in the future, look at your stomach, can you still eat it?" Chen Yu laughed at the gluttonous little girl.

Probably knowing that he would cook delicious food, the little dolls leaned towards him.

Huniu is the youngest in Chen Yu's life, and the rest of the children are the children of Chen Yutang buddies, the oldest is about the same age as Huniu, and the youngest is still breastfeeding.

Children are actually very sensitive. They can clearly distinguish who is good at talking and who is not.

After getting along for a while, I found that Chen Yu was the kind who was particularly easy to talk to, and they were all obsessed with trying to catch crayfish, and then burn them to eat.

It’s impossible to eat it again at night, but today I caught it and raised it and spit mud, and it’s okay to eat it tomorrow. My brothers and sisters haven’t tasted it yet.

"Catch it if you want, but pay attention to safety." As soon as Chen Yu spoke, Hu Niu was immediately happy, and almost ran out immediately.

The sun was too high at noon, and the children who were eager to try were forced by their parents to take a nap at home.

Chen Yu took a shower, changed into clean clothes, washed the clothes casually, and then went to sleep for a while.

The clothes to hang in the morning are all dry, so I don’t worry about running out of clothes if I change them frequently.

Hu Niu woke up and ran to find Chen Yu to go to Xiaohegou together, but Chen Yu refused: "I have something to do, you go."

He discussed with his grandfather that he would visit the homes of the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather. Not to mention other relatives, these two families would definitely go.

Tomorrow, I have to go to my aunt and second aunt's house. Although my second aunt is not at home, my second uncle is still there. He is a junior, so it's fine if he's not in his hometown. Now that he's back, he must be polite.

With the grandfather leading him, there was no trouble going to the two uncles' houses. Even for the sake of his future, no one would make things difficult for him, and they all supported him.

When Chen Yu made a circle and came back, I really saw Huniu and Dong Sanlin coming back together, Dong Sanlin was still carrying a bucket of crayfish, Huniu and a group of friends were chasing behind to pick up the fallen crayfish just like in the morning.

Seeing Chen Yu by accident, Dong Sanlin panicked for a moment, put the bucket on the ground, and was about to leave.

Chen Yu walked over as usual: "Don't put it here, the shrimp is about to run away, put it in the basin."

Dong Sanlin stopped, turned back, and divided the shrimp into basins according to Chen Yu's instructions.

"We need to add some water to soak."

Dong Sanlin went to fetch water again.

"Huniu, is there a place to buy things near here?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, Dagu and her village have a market, and there is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town." Hu Niu said honestly.

Chen Yu asked in detail. From Shangkanzi Village to Dagu's house, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk quickly, and it takes another ten minutes to walk to the town.

In the village, you can also buy things. For example, there is a family that can make tofu. Their family does not make it every day. When they make it, the villagers go to buy it. They don’t even need to give money, just exchange soybeans and grains.

There are also carpenters and bamboo craftsmen who sell their crafts, and more will disappear.

Even to buy a needle, villagers have to walk four or ten minutes to the town to buy it, and walk slowly, and it takes two hours to go back and forth.

Chen Yu kept this in mind, he didn't just come back to meet his relatives for a vacation, he wanted to build roads for his hometown and build a primary school, he didn't just think about it casually, he just came back this time to implement these things .

Although the money is nothing to him, the money given out for nothing has to be seen with his own eyes, and he has to consider how to operate it.

And even though he sent some family members and neighbors out to earn money, and more people stayed in the countryside, there were only so many of them in their family, and it would be distressing to use more oil, but he still had to find a way to make everyone rich.

This is not a matter that can be resolved in a short while, and it has to be discussed with his father. Everyone must have that wish, and he can't just think about it. It's useless for him to think about it.

Dong Sanlin fetched water and soaked the crayfish, this time he didn't rush away, and stood there waiting for Shen Yu to command.

Chen Yu really had something to say: "Are you busy this afternoon?"

Dong Sanlin shook his head, thinking that Chen Yu had something for him to do, he opened his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "What do you want me to do?"

"I'm going to the town to do some shopping, and you can help me move it back." He confidently ordered his brother who was a few years younger than him.

Dong Sanlin didn't think there was anything wrong, Shen Yu asked him to work, and he was relieved.

He is not afraid that Chen Yu will order him and let him do whatever he wants, even if Chen Yu hates them and wants to drive them away, his mother will have a hard time living in this house.

"Brother, are you going to town?" Hu Niu blinked.

Chen Yu smirked: "Yes, I'm leaving soon."

Huniu couldn't help it anymore: "Take me with you, I want to go too."

"What's the benefit of taking you?" Chen Yu asked suddenly: "Did you do your summer homework?"

Chen Yutang didn't study much. One reason was that intellectuals were treated badly because of the times at that time. When the villagers saw the intellectuals locked up in the cowshed, they felt a little bit suspicious.

The second is that the Shen family is too poor, and there are many children, so they stop going to elementary school.

But now that the Shen family is not poor, it is still affordable to send their children to school. With Chen Yu as an example, the elders also place more emphasis on academic performance.

There is no school in Shangkanzi Village, mainly because there are no teachers, and the children can only go to other villages to go to school.

Hu Niu was stunned by the question, her eyes rolled wildly: "I did some..."

"It's okay to take you there, and go back and check your homework."

Huniu had a bitter face, she felt that going to school was not fun at all, she had to sit in the classroom and could not go out to play.

Of course, homework is even more boring. It's been half a month of vacation, and I only made a few strokes under the urging of her parents. If she can fool her parents who don't know a lot of Chinese characters, she can't fool Chen Yu.

The little girl wrinkled her face: "Oh."

Let's go play first and then talk about it. The big deal is to come back from the town and then go to make up homework.

Chen Yu went to borrow the second uncle's bicycle, and his cousin Shen Qingfeng made a lot of money outside, and sent money back, part of it was handed over to the two elders, and most of it was given to his parents.

After saving for a few months, Shen Anfu went to buy a bicycle and came back. It is the treasure of the family. Not everyone can ride it, and only when doing serious business can the bicycle be used.

Of course, this rule does not exist here in Shen Yu. As soon as he said he wanted to go to town and borrow a car, Shen Anfu immediately pushed the car out for him.

"Get in the car." Chen Yu greeted Hu Niu and Dong Sanlin.

Dong Sanlin stood at a loss for a while, then carefully sat down on the back seat, not daring to touch the sinking fish, and leaned back.

Hu Niu was sitting on the front pole, holding the handlebar quite proudly.

"Be careful of pinching your hands." Chen Yu warned, greeted her family, and rode a bicycle to the town to do some shopping.

Seeing the car go far away, Shen Anfu patted Shen Anmin on the shoulder: "What are you looking at, the cat is doing well with Sanlinzi, why are you worried?"

Shen Anmin smiled and said: "Brother, I know Mao'er is a good boy, he has a soft heart, and he won't let Sanlinzi and the others down."

"It's good that you know it, but you can't bully the baby to be soft-hearted. He is promising and filial to you as a father. Don't be confused." Shen Anfu warned worriedly.

After all, the Dong family's children are in front of them every day. After a long time, if the third child is biased and thinks that Mao'er has money, he should subsidize his brother, which will really destroy the relationship between father and son.

"How is it possible, second brother, what are you thinking!" Shen Anmin felt that this was underestimating him, and it was still clear who kissed him and who neglected him.

He explained: "I was just thinking, there is nothing in our village, and it is not convenient for him to go to a town. Should I also buy a car and come back?"

Of course, what I want to buy is a bicycle. Although I have one at home, Shen Anfu bought that one. Every time I want to use it, I have to tell him that it is inconvenient.

And if someone used it at that time, wouldn't his cat have to walk out, which is impossible.

"It should have been bought earlier." Shen Anfu said, "What do you think you are saving so much money for?"

In Shen Anfu's view, TV sets are a luxury for them, but they have spare money and extra money to prepare for weddings and weddings, so the first thing they consider is the house. Once they have a house, buying a bicycle is convenient, practical and elegant. Decent is reasonable consumption.

Everyone in the family knew that Shen Anmin was rich, he could earn money by himself, and his son kept sending things and money.I don’t say that I send a lot each time, but it’s been more than a year, and the sum is not old or young.

There are few places to spend money in the countryside, and you only buy needles, thread, brain oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, which really doesn't cost much.

Shen Anmin didn't say a word, he saved his money not for his son.

He knew that his son opened a shop to start a business, but in the early years, the state called it speculation. If one day the business was not allowed again, the money he saved could still be used by his cat, and he could go to school to buy other things, no. When the baby wants to use money, he can't get it out.

But his son is obviously more promising than he imagined, and he is so good at reading, even if he doesn't do business, he won't be short of money in the future.
