Chapter 161: Throwing the beam, the beam raising ceremony is completed
Seeing that the words were getting more and more unpleasant, the village chief shouted, "Shut up! Most of the village is watching here. What kind of behavior are you guys in? Fighting for a few copper coins? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Stop it! Anyone who says another word! Get out!"
The two of them suddenly quieted down and shut their mouths obediently.
Yao Qingnian looked at the two of them expressionlessly: "Lin Meili, it's fine if you come here, but you dare to bring your son to disrupt my good life. What's your intention? You think this is your home and you have the final say! Well, for the good thing my family has done today, you and your son put down your things and leave my house, and I won't pursue the matter."
"I won't! Why?" Lin Meili spoke with a lisp, holding her pockets tightly. Zhang Xiaohu hid behind his mother.
Guo stepped forward and pulled the bag off: "Here you go!"
"This woman knocked out all my teeth, I don't care! Pay me back!" Lin Meili worked for nothing and was beaten again. She was not convinced and wanted to make trouble again.
"Pay compensation? I'll give you a big slap in the face. Are you going to leave? If you don't leave, I'll take away all the remaining money." Guo raised her fist and clenched it.
Lin Meili was a little scared: "I don't know where this woman came from, she is as strong as a bull. Alas, I can't beat her. I have seen how powerful Yao Qingnian is. I'd better run away!"
Although he was not convinced, he could not stand the two powerful masters standing in front of him, so he had to drag Zhang Xiaohu away in shame.
"Sister! Here you go! What do you think? My sister-in-law is awesome! People like her deserve to be punished." As he said that, he returned the cloth bag that he had snatched from Lin Meili to Yao Qingnian.
Guo Shi did nothing wrong today, and she even helped her to deal with Lin Meili. She was secretly happy and praised, "Sister-in-law is really amazing. She dealt with the person in just a few moves."
Guo was suddenly praised and scratched his head embarrassedly. This seemed to be a good feeling?
They poured the contents of the cloth bag back into the basket, added nearly a hundred copper coins into it, and then continued to play the game. It became even more lively and everyone was happy.
After the beams are thrown, everyone moves out of the new house to let the sun dry the beams, which is called "drying the beams".
After the beams were dried in the sun, Yao Qingnian wrapped the red envelopes one by one for Shi Yongshan and other workers who came to help, and the entire beam-raising ceremony was completed.
The next step is to start nailing rafters and laying tiles, perfecting the structure of the house, etc. Yao Qingnian looked at the new house with full of expectations.
"My dear relatives, please have lunch before going back! You are not allowed to make excuses." After the beam raising was completed, it was almost noon. Lin Qiaofeng and Guo wanted to say goodbye and go back, but Liu Shuyue insisted on keeping them.
Most of the villagers were not well off and would not easily stay at other people's homes for dinner, so Lin Qiaofeng felt a little embarrassed.
"Yes, mother, please stay! It's a good opportunity for you to try my cooking skills. I'll show you my handyman skills!" Yao Qingnian searched in her mind, and it seemed that the original owner had never cooked a meal for her mother!
"Grandma, my friends and I caught some fish yesterday. Look, they're still alive and kicking. It's perfect. Let's cook them and eat them."
"Okay!" With so many people trying to keep her, it would be hypocritical for her to refuse, so she agreed and sat in the yard chatting with Liu Shuyue.
Yao Qingnian brought them ice jelly and milk tea.
Guo took a sip and couldn't help but praise, "Sister, this is so delicious! It's so cold!"
She quickly finished her own drink, and then ate another serving of jelly. Still not satisfied, she looked towards Lin Qiaofeng eagerly. Lin Qiaofeng shook her head and was about to speak.
Liu Shuyue said first: "There's more, enough! I'll bring you two more."
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Guo was actually quite straightforward, but she was too lazy and gluttonous. It would be a good thing if she could correct that.
Yao Qingnian went to process the fish, which was a big grass carp that Yinuo found by the river yesterday. He and his friend Goudan caught it together. This fish was found by Yinuo, but Goudan did not take credit for it and generously let Yinuo bring it back. So Yinuo agreed and asked him to come and eat fish together.
"Mom, this fish was caught by Goudan and I together. I promised to invite him to our house to eat fish." Yinuo said.
"Okay, then go and call him over."
Looking at the yard full of peppers that were gradually turning red, Yao Qingnian had an idea. He decided to make a pot of pickled fish with the fish!
So she asked Liu Shuyue to go to the village to buy some sauerkraut. Every household in the village would make some sauerkraut and keep it for later eating during the winter when there was a vegetable shortage. However, Yao Qingnian's family did not make any this year.
Soon, Liu Shuyue went to the village to buy sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is made from Chinese cabbage, which is soaked in a jar for more than a month. It is authentic old jar sauerkraut with a strong sour taste, which is perfect for making sauerkraut fish.
Prepare ingredients such as sauerkraut, chili, ginger, garlic, etc.
Started to process the grass carp, which weighed about two kilograms.
Use the back of a knife to knock the fish unconscious, cut off the fins, scrape off the scales, remove the internal organs, pick out the gills, rinse the blood off the fish, slice the fish meat on both sides along the fish's back, chop the fish bones into small pieces, remove the fish bones and chop them into small pieces, and put them together with the fish bones. Cut the fish meat diagonally into even thin slices for later use;
After cutting the fish fillets, add a little salt and other ingredients, then add egg white and sweet potato flour to lock the moisture of the fish fillets, mix well and marinate for about half a quarter of an hour.
While the fish is marinating, stir-fry the sauerkraut. Add chili peppers, shredded ginger and garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour the sauerkraut into the pot and stir-fry to remove the moisture from the sauerkraut. This way the sauerkraut will taste crisper.
Next, add oil to the pan, fry the fish bones and fish heads until both sides are golden brown, then add water, boil it into soup, put the marinated fish fillets into the pan one by one, simmer for a few seconds on low heat, and remove from the pan after the fish fillets are shaped and turn white. Do not cook the fish fillets for too long, otherwise they will be overcooked and not tender. Put the fish fillets on a plate, sprinkle with chili peppers, chopped green onions and minced garlic, and wait for the oil to be stimulated;
The step of stimulating the oil is essential. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil temperature reaches 70% hot, pour the hot oil on the chili peppers and chopped green onions to bring out the aroma. The fragrant sauerkraut fish is ready.
Because there were so many people, Yao Qingnian cooked a few other dishes, and lunch was finally ready at the end of the hour.
"It's time to eat!" Yao Qingnian shouted after the dishes were served.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Lin Qiaofeng was a little dazed: "Girl, did you make this?"
"Yes, mother! Why, you don't believe me?" Yao Qingnian looked like he was begging for praise.
"I do find it a little unbelievable." Lin Qiaofeng was stunned. Yao Qingnian had never cooked before.
"My dear relatives! Come on, come on, sit down quickly. Qingnian's cooking skills are really good!" Liu Shuyue asked them to sit down, and the whole family sat around the table and prepared to eat...
