Seeing him coming, Li Qiao walked over with the shovel in his hand: "Let's take a look. The small tree from here to there is our three acres of land."
Li Qiao showed him the area of three acres of land.
One acre of land in Sheng Dynasty was about the same size as Li Qiao's one acre of land in his previous life, 600 square meters, and three acres of land was nearly 2,000 square meters.
At first glance, the area is quite large.
Tao Zhu's face was filled with joy. This was his family's land, and he and Li Qiao earned it every penny!
"There are a lot of weeds here, I'm going to pick them up."
He motioned to Li Qiao to give him the shovel.
He had never done farm work since he got married to Li Qiao, and now he couldn't wait to weed his own fields.
"Just pick it up at will. We have to go home and make snacks later." Li Qiao handed him the shovel.
"How about you and Dashan make snacks, and I'll work here all morning?" Tao Zhu asked as he took the shovel.
"That's so tiring."
"How can this be tiring? It's almost like making snacks."
Li Qiao raised an eyebrow: "There is a kind of tiredness, which is when your man thinks you are tired."
Tao Zhu: "..."
It took him two seconds to realize what he meant. Then he laughed. Seeing that Chen Tiezhu and the other four were immersed in their work without looking at him and Li Qiao, he quickly reached out and took Li Qiao's big hand.
"Okay, let's go together later."
"Okay, you go and gather weeds, and I'll catch some fish and take them back to eat."
As a person with water powers, Li Qiao has long been accustomed to using his powers anytime and anywhere. But ever since he got married to Tao Zhu, he and Tao Zhu have been inseparable. Not to mention practicing their powers, they can't even play with a small water polo.
Since he came to plant sweet potatoes today and was close to the river, how could he miss catching fish.
He tied a wooden stick more than two meters long to a small basket on his back. This was a fish-catching tool he specially made for others to see. With this fish-catching tool, he could catch a fish accurately.
But when Tao Zhu heard what he said, he immediately changed his mind: "I want to watch you catch fish."
"You're not weeding anymore?" Li Qiao asked.
"You look good when you catch fish." Tao Zhu praised directly.
Watching Li Qiao catch fish, he always had the feeling that no fish in the river could escape Li Qiao's palm. At that moment, Li Qiao was shining and very beautiful.
"You praise me for looking so good now. Let's catch fish together." Li Qiao smiled and motioned for him to walk to the river.
So, the couple went to the river.
The river here is still fast, but because Li Qiao, a little expert at catching fish, has not been fishing in the river recently, there are more fish in the river than before.
The two of them stood on the rocks by the river. Li Qiao, as usual, shot steadily and hard, and soon he caught more than ten of them in a small basket.
"Come on, Brother Zhu, hold this stick and let's take action together." Seeing Tao Zhu's eagerness to try, Li Qiao motioned for him to hold the long stick as well.
When Tao Zhu's hand came up, he grabbed Tao Zhu's hand that was smaller than his with both hands, and completely took Tao Zhu's body into his arms.
Tao Zhu: "?"
He looked at Li Qiao with a frightened expression.
"Don't worry, we are in the river, Uncle Zhuzhu and the others can't see us."
Li Qiao looked calm, and the surrounding area was wasteland, so no one came.
Tao Zhu: "..."
His heart was beating a little fast.
But extremely happy.
"Then hurry up. Don't be seen." He urged.
"So what if they see you? We are newlyweds, others will understand. Come on, you can be a little fish catcher for once."
Li Qiao motioned him to look at the fish swimming in the river.
Hearing this, Tao Zhu panicked a little, but was still a little nervous. This was too intimate!
However, his attention was quickly attracted by Li Qiao, because Li Qiao grabbed his hand and shook it gently. Before he could react, a fish about one foot long fell into the small basket on his back. .
Tao Zhu: "..."
This feeling of being easy to handle is so refreshing.
Li Qiao poured the fish into a large basket on the side and said, "I will take out the handle of this meat grinder when I go back later. Let's use the meat grinder to make fish balls at noon."
"Fish balls?" Tao Zhu was surprised.
"Pork can be used to make pork meatballs, and fish can also be used to make fish meatballs. Let's go back and try it."
Compared to pork meatballs, Li Qiao still prefers fish balls.
Now that we’re here, let’s get some fish balls out.
So, Li Qiao held Tao Zhu's hand and caught more than twenty fish. He didn't stop until the big basket was full.
It was getting late, and the two of them had to go back to make snacks. Li Qiao took out four fishes from the basket on his back, two for Wang Xiuying, and two for Chen Tiezhu's family of three.
Both Wang Xiuying and Chen Tiezhu waved their hands quickly.
"No, no, no!" Chen Tiezhu stammered, shaking his hands in rejection.
His husband, Wang Xiaoya, was mute and could not speak. At this time, he could only stretch out three fingers to point at Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, meaning that Li Qiao had already given him three cents for meal supplement, how could they still ask for this? Where's the fish?
As for their husband's child, Chen Zaoer, he was a very timid little boy. He stood behind Chen Tiezhu and said nothing.
Wang Xiuying also nodded: "The salary is a lot, no fish."
"The fish was caught and cost nothing. In fact, the meal supplement of three cents is less, because based on the food my family has, a meal of ten cents is about the same."
Li Qiao said and simply put the four fishes on the ground: "I put them here. You can take them home and cook them for lunch."
After saying this, he picked up his backpack and motioned for Tao Zhu to follow him and go home.
Chen Tiezhu's family and Wang Xiuying saw that he really wanted to give it, so they didn't give in. Two fish over one foot long were enough to improve the family's life.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are so kind and generous.
"Dad, can we keep working for Brother Zhu's family?" Chen Zaoer asked softly, his voice as bold as his.
"Be diligent, be diligent, work harder, work harder." Chen Tiezhu nodded.
Wang Xiuying glanced at Chen Zao'er and said, "Be diligent. Next time Li Qiao and Brother Zhu find someone to work for, they will definitely think of us."
As she said this, she stepped forward and picked up two fishes. This month, she had more work to carry water for Li Qiao's family, so she had a little more money. The other day, she went to Butcher Zheng's house to buy a piece of pork suet and make a small pot. The can of lard comes out.
Well, these two fishes will be fried in lard and then stewed. They will definitely taste delicious.
Wang Xiaoya also stepped forward and picked up the remaining two fish. He looked at Chen Tiezhu with a happy face and opened his mouth several times.
Chen Tiezhu's wrinkled face showed a smile: "Okay. Let's, let's steam it and eat it."
Chen Zaoer swallowed: "Steam it longer and steam the fish bones until they are soft."
It’s a rare occasion to eat fish, and you can’t throw away the bones.
-
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu pushed the cart back to the village. They first went to the river to kill most of the fish, and then went home to make fish balls.
Li Qiao made the handle needed for the meat grinder and installed it on the barrel, so a simple meat grinder was ready.
I tried it with onions and ginger first. The blade was sharp, and it only took a few turns to smash the onions and ginger.
Tao Zhu and Li Dashan were shocked and felt it was magical. It was really easy to use.
"Come on, Dashan, stir the fish meat." Li Qiao arranged a job for Li Dashan: "I'll teach you how to make fish meatballs."
Li Dashan: "!"
Master another core technology!
His brother-in-law really trusted him.
He rolled up his sleeves. He would study hard and never let down his brother-in-law's respect for him.
"I'll do it." Tao Zhu said on the side, he also wanted to give it a try.
"Just give it a try and leave the rest to Dashan. We have a lot of fish, and there are fish bones in the fish. In order to prevent the fish bones from hurting the throat, we have to stir the fish as much as possible. This job is very tiring, and the arms need to be If you keep turning, it will become sore within a quarter of an hour." Li Qiao said.
"?"
Li Dashan's face froze with emotion.
Did his brother-in-law teach him feelings because he couldn't bear to let his uncle Zhu work hard?
…
Knowing the truth, he burst into tears.
"Okay." Tao Zhu smiled and stirred for a while. As Li Qiao said, it was quite fresh at first, but his arms became sore after a while.
"Da Shan, take a rest when you are tired. We are not in a hurry." He said to Li Dashan.
"Yeah!" Li Dashan nodded heavily, oh oh oh, it was his Uncle Zhu who loved him.
At almost noon, Li Chuntao came.
With Li Chuntao's participation, the fish balls were quickly made.
Compared with the pork meatballs, this time Li Qiao added ice cubes, which made the meatballs more delicious and chewy. Li Qiao also liked it even if it was served cold without chili oil.
"It's dinner time now, Dashan, you and Chuntao take some meatballs back. And some fish." Li Qiao said to Li Dashan and Li Chuntao.
This time I made a lot of fish balls, so that both Li Liang and Li Gu could taste this rare delicacy.
"Okay." Li Dashan and Li Chuntao were not polite and picked up the clay pots to hold the fish balls.
After finishing serving, I went to catch a few fish in the water tank.
Li Dashan and Li Chuntao were preparing to carry fish and fish meatballs home when Butcher Zheng and Zheng Qianqian arrived.
"Uncle Zheng, Brother Qian, why are you here? Have you eaten? We just made fish balls today, come and try them."
