Chapter 60 Fried fish to save winter food

 If I had known this, I should have stood up and helped Zhang Wanqing accuse me. Maybe I would have been looked down upon by Chen Zixuan. Now I guess he doesn’t know how much he looks down on me!

The more Li Yan thought about it, the unhappy she became. She had obviously been wronged, so why was Zhang Wanqing the only one to help her? She didn't believe that Chen Zixuan hadn't seen her being bullied by that rogue just now.

Li Yan stared at Zhang Wanqing with resentful eyes.

Li Yan really couldn't figure it out.

Why can Zhang Wanqing get help from Chen Zixuan, but she can only get Chen Zixuan to look on coldly?

When he went to work in the afternoon, Chen Zixuan saw that Li Jie still looked unhappy, which was normal. None of them were happy that the educated youths who went to the countryside to join the team were treated differently.

"You said why the people in the village are so outrageous. They don't talk when we are asked to work, but they talk so much when we are sharing the food."

The most important thing is to exchange food.

Rather than just sharing it with them directly, we really want to distribute the food when the time comes, especially if they, the educated youths, can’t even get a grain of rice, right?

"There is nothing we can do. After all, we are not local villagers. It is normal that we will be treated differently. Don't think too much about it."

Whether now or in the past, in the past life or in this life, Chen Zixuan has been used to this kind of thing. It is impossible to say that immigrants and locals can be treated exactly the same.

The sound of the work drum sounded, and Chen Zixuan found that the team leader and the village party secretary had also come over, but one looked refreshed and the other looked gloomy, with a pulled face.

Quite the opposite, which makes people laugh secretly.

"What happened to the village party secretary today?"

Some who didn’t change food were confused.

Chen Zixuan shook his head and said he didn't know.

He won't say anything casually. It concerns the girl's reputation. It wouldn't be good if he said so much and spread it everywhere.

This time, Lin Mu’s work speed finally got better, and it was no longer as slow as before.

The tasks in the afternoon were completed very quickly, much faster than in the morning. I could get off work just in time after moving, and there was no need to work in the dark.

Chen Zixuan's impression of Lin Mu can be said to be very different. He thought that this arrogant person always worked like this.

Dragging his tired body back to the house, Chen Zixuan, who had been busy all day, wanted to eat some meat, but he couldn't cook fish in the house now. After all, no one knew where the fish came from.

You can’t just have multiple fish appear out of thin air!

Chen Zixuan lit a fire in the house and planned to just steam the rice and cook the rest in the small space manor.

There is a coal stove in grandma's cabin.

This is more convenient and does not require burning firewood.

Burn a large piece of firewood in the kitchen outside, put the rice in a pot to steam, and then duck into the space.

Chen Zixuan picked up the hanging net bag and took a walk to the creek in a good mood to pick up a smaller fish.

Eat some tonight and some tomorrow.

Anyway, the climate inside the Portable Space Manor is cooler, so the fish here won’t go bad so quickly.

Go back to the cabin and quickly kill the fish, cut it into sections, and then add a little salt to marinate it.

Chen Zixuan plans to fry this fish, especially the crispy one, which will be much more delicious.

The most important thing is that it is fried dry and has no moisture, so it can be stored for a longer time and can be eaten slowly.

This small fish is just enough to have a meal tonight and another meal tomorrow without wasting it.

While the fish was being pickled, Chen Zixuan thought for a while and took the time to continue fishing for a net of medium-sized fish.

Winter is coming soon, and he can't go out to buy food in the heavy snow. What's more, he doesn't know whether the winter in the space will be very cold. Chen Zixuan is worried that the fish in the stream will freeze.

And no matter how many fish there are here, Chen Zixuan believes that with Lin Jun's channels and connections, they can collect them all, but he must first save enough food for the winter before he can rest assured.

"You can make money slowly, but you can't go hungry."

Chen Zixuan was thinking that after he finished his work, he would see if there were any rare medicinal materials or pheasants and wild boars in the mountains here. If he could catch the wild products, he could sell them for a fortune.

With ease, he disemboweled the fish and took out all the internal organs.

Then wash it carefully and scrape off all the fish scales, leaving it clean inside and out.

Then I took the coarse salt that I bought before to make salt-baked chicken, spread it in a thin layer, and then buried it with a thick layer of coarse salt.

Just marinate it quietly for a day or two, and then hang it under the apple tree to dry slowly.

After it's dried, you can cut it off and eat it whenever you want. This way, you don't have to worry about it going bad if left for a long time.

This method can be kept for a long time, and you can also try it to make smoked fish or smoked meat, which will also taste delicious.

"This way I won't be afraid of this winter."

Chen Zixuan has never made it himself. In the past, his grandma made it and ate it directly. He has only seen and bought it.

Because I find it too troublesome, I don’t really want to do it.

In modern cities, if you want to eat, you can go to the supermarket and buy it. But here it is difficult. If you want to eat, you have to make it yourself.

"It would be a good idea to get some dried shrimps to eat. When you cook the porridge, you can put some dried shrimps in it. How delicious and sweet it will be!"

Chen Zixuan likes to eat porridge very much, but he will not be full if he eats porridge, otherwise he would not eat rice often.

To eat rice, you need to cook a few more dishes, otherwise dry rice will be really hard to swallow.

I just went ahead and went to the creek to catch a bag of shrimps, about ten kilograms, and cleaned them all.

After cleaning, steam the shrimp directly on the pot. Take it out after steaming until it is just cooked. Take it out and put it in the basket on the steamer to dry. This way, you don't have to worry about animals eating it.

The chirping chickens had finished eating the tender grass under the apple tree, and then went to eat the grass over the cotton field.

These chickens are really smart. They only eat the grass in the ground and do not harm the cotton in the ground.

Chen Zixuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was a little happy that the cotton had blossomed, and he saw a vast expanse of white.

The cotton is so big, white and pure, like the white clouds in the sky. Chen Zixuan looked at the beautiful scenery with some enjoyment

Turning around, I saw a strawberry field next to me.

When we walked to the strawberry field, the strawberries gave off a burst of fragrance. They smelled so refreshing and the strawberries were all ripe.

Chen Zixuan couldn't wait to see Ganoderma lucidum again. The Ganoderma lucidum bloomed with natural little umbrellas. He couldn't help but pick them all back. After drying them, he weighed them. They weighed fifty kilograms in total.

This Ganoderma lucidum is a bit heavy, and I don’t know how much it costs per pound. Chen Zixuan forgot to go to the pharmacy to ask the price again.

After the fish was almost marinated, Chen Zixuan cleaned the pan, poured a little oil in and put it in.

After the oil pan is hot, put the fish in. It sizzles, and soon you can smell the smell of fried fish.

“It smells so good!”

This fish is really delicious.

Lin Jun said before that it smelled like fruit, but he didn't even try it. Today, he actually smelled it after frying it.

After frying, chop the two pieces in the middle and save those two pieces for breakfast tomorrow morning, since it’s cool here anyway.

After setting it aside, Chen Zixuan took the remaining fried fish, added some water and some soy sauce, and then continued to simmer it.

It will be delicious when eaten with white rice.

Taking advantage of this little time, Chen Zixuan went to the chicken coop to collect today's eggs and put them in a special basket.

After simmering the fried fish, Chen Zixuan took the prepared dishes outside the small space manor and prepared to have a formal meal.

After dinner, I lay down on the kang and squinted and fell asleep.

The next day——

Chen Zixuan took two pieces of fish that he cooked last night, heated them up, and paired them with white porridge. He ate three large bowls in one meal.

If you are full, you will definitely have more energy to work today. At least you won’t be as hungry as most people.

In the past, Chen Zixuan was like everyone else. He always started to get hungry when he was halfway through the work. Today, he didn't feel hungry anymore. He even brought an extra hard-boiled egg just to avoid being hungry.

Chen Zixuan had just arrived at the field and the piece of land he had been assigned. He looked around and felt a little strange.

Why isn't Lin Mu working here today? Is it possible that a partner has to be reassigned again?
