C2 Fried Fish Willow

"That's enough, stop using your cat urine. It looks like you're about to plant the land. Are you going to do the work at home?" Madam Chiang's angry voice came from next door.

Madam Tian had a weak personality, maybe because she was scared by them just now and was crying inside the house. When she heard these words, she quickly wiped her tears away.

Chu Pann'er put on her shoes and went down to the ground. She wanted to sow the seeds in the spring, but she hadn't planted any in the few acres of land at home. There were no men in this house, so it was not easy for the women to work here.

When she thought back to when she was conferred the title of Prefecture Lord, she didn't even have the time to tell her mother the good news about the new title, and her mother had already left.

She remembered that when her mother was there, she loved cooking and the life she yearned for was to live in the fields with her father. At that time, her mother had often dragged her to the kitchen to prepare some food, but she only felt that cooking didn't have the technical content. However, after her mother left, she never had another delicious meal.

In order to remember her mother, she had set up a manor on the back cover and grew some fruits and vegetables inside the manor. When the harvest was good, she would personally pluck the fruits and make delicious foods, but she had worked hard for so long, the taste of the dishes was completely different from what her mother cooked.

She remembered that there was a river at the foot of the mountain. Not long ago, the glacier had opened up, and many fish leapt out of the water to breathe in the air. At this moment, the fish were easy to catch. Chu Pann'er carried the fish basket and headed towards the river.

Although the juniors of the Chu Clan were not born from the same mother, they got along well and worked well together. At this time, Chu Xi and the two girls had just returned from collecting firewood in the mountains. When they reached the riverside, they were shocked to see Chu Pann'er standing in the river.

"Big Sis, you're catching fish? I want to catch them too. " Chu Xi threw the firewood, rolled up his pants and was about to dive into the water.

"Hey, Uncle, you can't go down there. If Granny finds out, she'll scold us." Normally, Madam Chiang attached great importance to her family's two boys. If she knew that Chu Xi had done such a dangerous thing like fishing in the water, she would definitely be furious. She and her aunt did not look at him and were sure to be scolded.

Chu Ying'er frowned and picked up the firewood on the ground: "She wants to go by herself, we didn't push him down. If Grandma wants to curse, she can't curse at us, and there's still Big Sis here.

Compared to the timid and meticulous Chu Jin'er, Chu Ying'er was even more bold and decisive.

Chu Jin'er was still unwilling to leave. Looking at Chu Pann'er, she hoped that she could help to say a few words.

Chu Pann'er swept her gaze across Chu Xi, and said indifferently: "As the only man in the family who can support the future, you shouldn't always be a good-for-nothing who can't even catch fish."

"Who are you calling a useless trash?"

Chu Pann'er didn't even raise her eyes as she replied, "I'll speak of those who can't catch the fish yet still wet their clothes."

Chu Xi hated this big sister the most. She was as weak as his mother, who had no opinions. Second sister Chu Ying'er had her own way of thinking and was very aggressive, but in the end, she was still too soft. My little niece, Chu Jin'er, is so weak that she likes to cry.

However, ever since Big Sis fell into her brain, it was different. And now he actually dared to say that he was a good-for-nothing. He didn't like it, but he liked his big sister.

"Hmph, isn't it just catching fish, I'll catch it for you right now."

Seeing that, Chu Ying'er pulled Chu Jin'er along and walked back: "Grandma asked, she said that he was playing outside."

Chu Jin'er was still worried, and turned back three times with each step.

Chu Pann'er took out a rope from the branch and tied it with an earthworm, hanging it on her basket. Once the fish came in, she quickly picked up the basket, covered the fish with it and placed it on the leaves on the shore.

After repeated attempts, they managed to catch three fat fish, which was more than enough for their family to eat.

Chu Xi scratched his head, he thought that since he could not get a single piece from this big sister, he would show off his skills, but now the situation was completely reversed.

Chu Pann'er brought Yu Di home and directly entered the kitchen. The people here didn't know how to eat the fish, and they couldn't handle it well either. It would be better for her to do it herself, lest she wasted her food.

There was no meat at all. Seeing Chu Pann'er take out the fish, her expression became weird: "Pann'er, although there is no meat at home, the fish is really not tasty, why don't you stop cooking?"

The fishy smell of the fish was very difficult to deal with. No matter how long their family didn't eat the meat, they never had the intention of fighting for the fish.

Chu Pann'er's expression was normal as she went to fetch water to handle the fish, and said indifferently: "It's fine, sister-in-law. Make your food, I'll cook the fish," hearing footsteps at the door, she raised her eyes and said: "Put the things down there."

He had just gotten Chu Xi to find some chili sauce and other spices at the foot of the mountain. Now that he was back, he could use them.

Madam Chiang looked at the things in the bowl on the table, her face was stern: "What is this?"

Chu Pann'er cooked a fish that was not spicy, cutting the fish into pieces and putting them into wild vegetables. It was normal if she did not recognize those that had never eaten one before. After she explained, Madam Chiang's face became even more unsightly. "It's not proper for a girl to fish in the water. Next time, you're not allowed to."

With that, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, and after eating, his wrinkled eyebrows relaxed a little. "Not bad."

The whole family was relieved and lowered their heads to eat. Apart from occasionally praising the delicious fish, there was no other sound at the table. The meal was quite enjoyable.

After dinner, Chu Pann'er went back into the kitchen. Just now when she was eating, she had thought of selling fish as snacks. There was a dish at the palace called Fish Splitting Willow, so naturally, it couldn't be sold here as a dish. It could be used as a snack with seasonings.

Fried Fish and Willows were simple to make. The fish and sliced Willows were marinated with egg white and a little salt. Since there was no starch, they were directly fried after marinating. Finally, the fish was sprinkled with chili powder.

"No, no one eats fish here, and you want to sell it in the town? Who would buy your stuff?"

Chu Pann'er told everyone that the first thing Madam Chiang did was not to allow people to sell the fish willow.

Chu Pann'er's expression was normal as she handed the chopsticks to Madam Chiang: "Grandmother, try it first, how is the taste of my fish willow?"

Madam Chiang glanced at the fish willow tree, and her stiff face relaxed a little. She took a bite and chewed it carefully.

A few juniors had already stealthily tasted it in the kitchen just now. They were very clear on whether it was tasty or not, and whether it was good or not. They might not be able to sell it in the town, and would have to wait for Madam Chiang's approval.

The whole family's gaze fell on Madam Chiang, the atmosphere was tense. Madam Chiang swallowed his fish willow and looked at Chu Pann'er: "You can give it a try, and decide how you want to sell it."

In the end, as Chu Pann'er expected, her expression was indifferent: "Fish and Willows for sale, five taels. "I'll try selling them for about 30 Jin first. If I can sell them all, I can earn one or two silver coins."

A single silver tael was enough for a household for half a year. With this silver tael, the crisis of the Chu Clan would be solved.

A trace of light flashed past Madam Chiang's eyes, and she quickly recovered her calm. She coldly snorted: "Doing business is not as easy as you think.

Chu Ying'er helped her speak up, "Big Sis cooked so delicious, you are a fool not to buy it."

Chu Nian clapped her small hands, her voice was clear, "He's a fool." Pulling on the corner of Madam Chiang's clothes, her misty eyes shone brightly.

Seeing that Chu Nian had recited it, the Madam Chiang's attitude became much better.

Chu Ying'er volunteered, "Sis, I'll go with you, I can even help you move your things into the town."

Chu Pann'er had already made plans in her heart: "Ying'er, Jin'er and her mother will stay at home while I, his sister-in-law, and Chu Xi will go. Eldest Sister-in-Law worked steadily, her mouth was sharp, and she could stand alone. Chu Xi is the only man, he must go. "

If this arrangement was reasonable, no one else would be able to say anything.

After Chu Pann'er finished speaking, she brought Chu Xi to the river side to fish. He caught a fish with two baskets on her back, she told Chu Xi to bring it home and went up the mountain. This body needed a great deal of nourishment, otherwise she would not be able to display her martial arts.
