Chapter 154 Green Pepper Fish
Old Mrs. Zhou was busy with her work. The soaked beans could be used to make soy milk.
Seeing Old Lady Zhou busy with these things, Zhou Mingshu also took a basin and soaked some mung beans, this time soaking more.
Make the mung bean powder so that you don’t have to go through so much trouble when you want to eat it in the future.
With Zhou Lao Da and his friends in the family, my aunt and her friends were no longer needed to do the work of turning the wheat. The grown men took wooden forks and kept turning the wheat in the threshing floor.
Zhou Mingshu led the donkey to the nearby hillside.
The little donkey seemed to understand her very well. It stopped rubbing her elbow and followed her happily along the way.
Seeing that there was no one around, she conjured up two apples and each of them ate one.
There are a lot of green grass and wild vegetables nearby, and of course a lot of medicinal herbs.
After satisfying its craving, the little donkey ate the grass on the ground obediently, while Zhou Mingshu dug herbs according to the system's prompts.
These herbs are very common herbs and their value is not very high.
But fly legs are also meat.
After all, the points in the system are almost used up, so it is better to save more for emergencies.
Not long after, she saw Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua coming over. Each of them had a small basket and a small shovel, and they were walking towards this direction happily.
Zhou Mingshu seriously suspected that his grandmother did not arrange for them to come out to work.
Rather, they are driven out to play because they are too annoying and they are not expected to do much work. At least they can have some peace and quiet when they are not at home.
But the two little guys are also very helpful. Every time they come out, they can dig a basket of loose grass.
"Third sister, Minghua is so well behaved, I want to eat that candy~"
While the little brother was away, Xiao Minghua lay down next to Zhou Mingshu and whispered in his ear.
The warm breath felt itchy on Zhou Mingshu's ears, but when he understood what the little sister wanted to do, Zhou Mingshu still laughed.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll bring it to you next time I go to town, okay? You see I haven't been to town for a long time, so I don't have it now."
Zhou Minghua pouted and felt very disappointed, but what her third sister said made sense. Although she was young, she knew that she had to go to the town to buy these things.
"Okay." She answered reluctantly, but cutely.
"Then Third Sister... can we make a promise?" This little guy is not stupid, he can even think of this...
In her mind, if she ticked the box, it meant her wish would come true.
"Okay, let's make a pinky promise~"
Zhou Mingshu coaxed the little sister and made a pinky promise with her.
The two shouted in unison, "We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years and never change."
After making the promise, Zhou Minghua's mood obviously improved.
The little girl was not very mobile, so Zhou Mingshu helped her cut the grass. Soon, the basket was full.
"Wait a moment, little brother. When I'm done digging, you two can go home together. I'll stay here and watch the little donkey eat grass."
Zhou Minghua nodded. There were many small wild flowers nearby. She lay on the ground and picked them, having a lot of fun.
After Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua returned, Zhou Mingshu and the little donkey moved to a place with abundant water and grass.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning when Zhou Mingshu and the little donkey returned home.
During the whole morning, the little donkey ate and drank a lot, and both sides of his stomach were full.
"I was just thinking of calling you and you came back. This is a good time to bring the donkey over to thresh the wheat."
Dad took a hemp rope and tied a stone to the donkey.
Then each man, one donkey and one stone began their 'torture under the scorching sun'.
When Zhou Mingshu returned home, he was called over to drink cold soy milk. It was original and would have tasted even better if it was a little sweeter.
"Grandma, the mung beans are ready. When are you going to grind them?"
"You and your mother can go together. I just ground some soybeans this morning. The stone mill is very clean."
"Okay."
Once the mung bean powder is made, I can have it as a snack whenever I want. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
"Oh, by the way, I still need to filter the green pepper oil I made last night. Don't throw away the green pepper after filtering it out. You can still use it."
"Okay, I'll filter it later."
Old Mrs. Zhou is kneading the dough, and we can eat new steamed buns at noon.
Zhou Mingshu took a basin and a bucket and went to the village chief's house to grind mung beans.
"Girl, why did you make so much this time? Why don't you save some and let's drink some mung bean soup."
"Mother, of course. It's been so hot lately, and drinking two bowls of mung bean soup is the best way to quench your thirst."
So they set aside another bowl of mung beans.
On the way back, Zhou Mingshu walked to the river and took out a three-jin grass carp from the fish basket.
What I mean is that we don’t dare to buy too big a fish, so each family member can just take a bite or two to taste it.
The ground mung beans were given to Zhou Mingqi to do the rest of the work while she went on to do other things.
To make good green pepper fish, you definitely can’t just use green peppers, you also need some other ingredients. She also prepared some vegetables.
Everyone liked the pickled fish she made last time, and Liu was very curious about her way of filleting the fish.
No one knew how she was able to avoid the fish bones so perfectly, so while she was filleting the fish, the three elders gathered around her and watched.
"How about we use the fish meat to make green pepper fish, and the remaining fish bones to make fish soup?"
"Okay, okay, you're the best at cooking fish, I'll leave it to you."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, “Whatever San Ya cooks must be delicious. She will make two more dishes today so that everyone can enjoy it.”
We haven’t had meat for a few days at home, and today when we heard that we were going to have fish, the children were very excited.
"You know there's going to be something delicious today, so why don't you hurry up and do more work, be more alert, and do whatever chores there are around the house."
Old Mrs. Zhou started preaching again, but everyone was happy to listen.
Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie ran out in a flash, and no one knew where they were going.
Pour hot oil on the prepared green pepper fish to stimulate the aroma of green pepper and chili pepper, and the dish is ready.
The lunch was a bit rich. In addition to a dish of green pepper fish and a pot of fish soup, there were also several stir-fried vegetarian dishes.
"Sister, this fish meat feels a little weird in my mouth."
Zhou Mingyuan didn't know how to describe the feeling. He just felt his tongue was a little numb and his throat was a little hot.
"Strange?" Zhou Mingshu tasted the food when it came out of the pot, and it tasted pretty good.
Did the taste change after being left for a while?
She picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. The taste was the same, spicy and numbing, not bad.
"This is the taste. Do you think it tastes bad?" Zhou Mingshu asked.
"No, I think it's delicious, but I've never tasted anything like it before." Zhou Mingyuan had already picked up the second piece of food with his chopsticks.
Hearing what he said, everyone at the table laughed. Taking advantage of the break in time, everyone tasted it. Compared with the sauerkraut fish last time, the taste was only better!
