Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Page 20

Uncle Yan Bugui, however, said with certainty: "That is the Yongding River... There is no mistake, there is no other river to the west except the Yongding River!"

Since you're not taking me, I'll go and see for myself tomorrow.

As long as there are big fish in the Yongding River, I don't believe I can't catch them.

Liu Aiguo was too lazy to argue with these people and started killing the fish directly.

Remove and discard the fish's internal organs, and remove the scales and gills.

Then rinse it with clean water, and the whole fish is cleaned.

Jia Zhangshi took a sip of saliva and asked, "Aiguo... such a big fish, are you making fish soup?"

Liu Aiguo said, "No..."

Madam Jia asked again, "Then what are you doing?"

Liu Aiguo said, "Let's make some boiled fish!"

Boiled fish is a Sichuan dish; even if you haven't eaten it, you've probably heard of it.

It's delicious!

Jia Zhangshi's tongue was tied in knots.

"Grandma...Grandma...I want to eat fish!" Banggeng tugged at Jia Zhangshi's clothes, begging for fish.

Jia Zhangshi thought to herself: Now that the child has asked, Liu Aiguo can't just leave without doing something, can he?

But Liu Aiguo remained silent.

Ignore the Jia family.

"Swish...swish...swish..."

Liu Aiguo continued sharpening his knife and then began slicing the fish.

Boiled fish requires very precise knife skills.

Liu Aiguo had previously mastered a divine-level culinary skill book, so his knife skills were naturally superb.

The fish was cut up very quickly.

They collected a whole basinful of jade pieces.

"So many..."

Liu Aiguo looked at his fish slices in awe, thinking to himself: "If I made this, it would be enough for ten people, let alone one."

After blanching, I started cooking.

Cooking is actually very simple.

Most of the time I spend cooking is spent on preparation, but when it comes to actually cooking, it's actually quite simple.

Heat a large amount of oil, add Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers and fry until fragrant, then add scallions, ginger and other ingredients, and finally add various seasonings.

Cook for half a minute, then pour hot oil over the fish fillets, and a big pot of boiled fish is ready.

The aroma, mingled with the smell of cooking, burst forth from Liu Aiguo's kitchen.

Before long, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.

After making the boiled fish, Liu Aiguo also made a large plate of braised pork.

The source of braised pork is, of course, pork.

As for pork, Liu Aiguo's system has it. There are as many as twenty pigs in the pigsty, and there are also twenty slaughtered adult pigs in the system space.

You can eat it anytime, anywhere.

Liu Aiguo originally intended to donate the pork to the factory to pay off his debts.

But then I thought: What the hell do I need so much money for?

In this day and age, even if you have a lot of money, you can't invest it.

Let's keep these things. When things change, I can sell them and become rich in no time.

……

The Jia family!

Banggeng clung tightly to Jia Zhangshi's clothes, refusing to let go: "Grandma... I want to eat fish, I want to eat braised pork... I can smell it... Liu Aiguo's family has meat to eat, so I want to eat it!"

In the past, no matter which family in the courtyard made something delicious, Banggeng would always tease Jia Zhangshi like this.

Jia Zhangshi would always go to the door to ask, and people would give her some food.

But when it came to Liu Aiguo, Jia Zhangshi became a little apprehensive.

Last time, Liu Aiguo slapped me six times across the face.

That really hurt.

"My dear grandson!" said Madam Jia, "Tomorrow, Grandma will go fishing and make it for you!"

"do not want!"

Upon hearing that Jia Zhangshi was making excuses and that he wouldn't get any meat, Bang Geng thrashed about and rolled on the ground, shouting, "I want to eat meat... I want to eat meat... If you don't give me meat, I won't get up today!"

Needless to say, Bang Geng learned this tactic of throwing a tantrum from Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu and the crippled Jia Dongxu, standing nearby, seemed unfazed by the scene and remained silent.

Jia Zhangshi, having been driven to desperation, said, "Fine... come with me, and Grandma will lend you some meat to eat!"

Jia Zhangshi took a large enamel bowl from the ocean and, holding a stick in one hand, walked towards Liu Aiguo's door.

The sunlight was so intense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng stood outside Liu Aiguo's house, steeling themselves.

"Patriotism... He loves his patriotic uncle... He loves his patriotic uncle..."

Liu Aiguo opened the door.

"What are you doing?" Liu Aiguo's expression was unpleasant.

He saw through Jia Zhangshi's scheme at a glance.

Madam Jia forced a bitter smile and said, "Um... could you lend us some of your boiled fish...? Look, the child is making a huge fuss..."

Liu Aiguo slammed the door shut with a bang: 'No…get out!'

They used to criticize me, and now they want to eat my boiled fish?

Go eat shit.

As soon as the gate closed, Jia Zhangshi's expression changed.

I haven't received it yet.

"Grandma...I..." Bang Geng seemed to understand as well, and lay on the ground crying and shouting, "Waaah...I want to eat meat...I want to eat meat..."

"Grandma, I want to eat boiled fish... I want to eat Liu Aiguo's boiled fish..."

It was always like this.

Jia Zhangshi took Banggeng to other people's houses to borrow vegetables to eat, but if the people refused, Banggeng would lie on the ground and make a scene.

The host family can't stand it, so they'll often give a little something.

Therefore, Banggeng used falling to the ground and making a scene as a magic weapon for begging.

However, it is clear that this tactic did not work on Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo ate by himself inside the room.

Rolling on the ground?

Take your time hitting it, what's it to me?

Am I embarrassing?

And... stop joking... let's see if I'm the one who's embarrassed, or if your Jia family is.

The stick-like creature lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum.

Jia Zhangshi stood by and watched.

Both of them were staring at Liu Aiguo's doorway.
