Gathering eel fields

Jiang Zhou walked over and crouched down beside the three children.

“Dongzi, do you still know who I am?”

Jiang Zhou asked with a smile.

The oldest child is twelve years old.

The boy was wearing shorts and a thin shirt, he was preparing to climb up a tree to weep a beetle.

Hearing someone call his name, Dongzi immediately turned his head.

"ah! Brother Jiang!"

Dongzi was a small leader among the children in the village.

He was very cruel when fighting.

Jiang Zhou was also unemployed. Every day he just went fishing or went to the mountain to pick up fruits, because it was in the hearts of the village children, he was the leader.

Many children were happy to be close to Jiang Zhou.

Dongzi smiled as he revealed two rows of white teeth.

He stopped catching the beetle, and immediately descended from the tree, ran towards Jiang Zhou, and said, "Sister Jiang, why don't you go catch fish in the river these two days? Are you playing quietly and not taking me with you?"

Jiang Zhou rubbed Dongzi's head.

Two other children also gathered.

Jiangzhou raised his chin and said, “Aren't I now going to invite you guys to play together?”

Dongzi said excitedly, “Sister Jiang! What are we gonna play? Looking for bird eggs or catching fish in the river? I'll bring matches secretly, brother jiang let's have a picnic".

Jiang Zhou could not help but laugh.

“Not, I want to invite you to make money!”

Earning money?

Both of these words sound new to them.

Dongzi was confused and scratched his head.

"We can make money? brother Jiang, how can we make money? If I can make five cents, I'll buy candy! "

Jiang Zhou said with a smile.

“See what this is,”

he said, taking out some leftover money from his pocket.

This was to make the three of them believe that they could really make money.

Justjust right...

Their eyes immediately shone.

"There's a lot of money! that's sheet-on.! "

Jiang Zhou said, "Do you want it?"

He said with a longer tone.

He's like a child kidnapper.

Sure enough, Dongzi and the other three children nodded in unison, with greedy expressions on their faces.

"Didn't your parents grow rice in the fields? Have you ever seen a paddy eel in a mud pit?"

Rural children often see that!

However, currently only a few people are eating it.

Dongzi frowned, and said with disdain, "Sister, what do you want that thing for? They look very ugly and taste bad. very fishy when eaten, smells so! "

The other two kids nodded.

Actually was.

There are a lot of eel fields in rural areas today.

Especially during the rice growing season, in early spring, all eels come out of the mud.

The reason why not many people want it, because it consumes a lot of oil, besides who wants to spend a lot of time to take care of it in the busy season of farming?

If it is not washed cleanly, or less oil, the cooking is not tasty and wasteful materials, the slaughtering process is also very troublesome, the effort is really not worth the results.

Better to eat boiled fish!

But they don't know.

Rice eels have been a good food for health since ancient times.

They can't cook it so they don't want to eat it, but, in recent years in the district, rice eels have started looking for people.

More precisely, Jiangzhou earned his first income by selling sawa eels in the previous district.

Jiangzhou looked at Dongzi and smiled and said, "No need to worry, you just go out to win the rice field eel, if you look for a bigger one, I will give you Rp. 1,200 pounds, what do you think? "

Rp. 1,200 per half kilogram?

Justjust wonderful.

The slightly larger eel alone was over half a kilogram.!

After all, they are still children.

As soon as Jiang Zhou finished speaking, the three children immediately ran over the mare, without looking back.

Back in the gutter, they saw a lot of rice eels!

They went home and took a hollow basket, and thought they would definitely get a lot of rice field eels!

When Jiang Zhou saw the three children galloping, he did not know if he should cry or laugh.

He won't wait here either.

After all, many people were looking at him right now, afraid that he would mislead his children.

Jiangzhou and Dongzi had known each other for quite a long time.

He knows where his house is.

Jiang Zhou returned home.

……………………………

In the afternoon, Dongzi and two other children came to his house.

They got very dirty with mud.

Their entire bodies were very dirty, and their hair was also filled with mud.

However, each of them held one large crackle containing a rice field eel.

Seeing Jiang Zhou standing up and approaching, they chuckled and showed their white teeth.

"Sister Jiang! Lookie! "

Dongzi is a small leader.

The plastic bag in his hand was seen the most.

Dongzi lifted the heavy plastic bag with one hand, his body tilted slightly.

Although the other two children did not carry as much as Dongzi, if you look at the number, there should be two to one and a half kilograms.

Jiang Zhou was silent.

Don't don't, jiang zhou doesn't have enough money to pay the three children.

Da already felt uncomfortable hiring a small child, at this time, if he could not give them a wage, the situation would really be very awkward, he said,

Jiang Zhou closed his lips and coughed twice.

He walked up to them and raised the bag with one hand, his heart beating fast.

Alright..

Sure enough!

The three children each captured one kilogram, 0.8 kilograms and 0.7 kilograms.

that meant...

Jiang Zhou had to pay Rp. 12240

Yet...

Now he only has Rp. 7600

Lousy.

Other than hiring small children, now even he could not pay their wages.

Jiang Zhou thought for a moment and decided to come clean.

"Dongzi, so look, brother jiangzhou now only has Rp. 7,600 in my hand. The rice field eels that you guys caught more than I thought, for a while the money in my pocket wasn't enough. How about tomorrow..."

Before Jiangzhou finished speaking, Dongzi smiled widely.

“Kakak jiang, Rp. 7,600 that's a lot already!”

After Dongzi finished talking.

The two children at the side quickly nodded in agreement.

“It's been a lot!”

“I've never even seen money bigger than a penny!”

The dirty and red faces of the three children jiangzou could see sincerity.

Jiang Zhou did not speak anymore.

He smiled and said "Let's just take note as a debt to you guys,"

After saying that, he immediately gave their wages and recorded the debt.

“Dongzi caught two kilograms, the amount is Rp. 4.800.”

“Two of you, one is 0.8 kilograms, and the other is 0.7 kilograms, so Rp.3,800 and Rp respectively. 3,600 ?"

Jiang Zhou was very quick at counting.

However, the three children never went to school, so they did not know right or wrong.

They only knew that they each had more than two thousand, and that had already made the three children excited and excited.

Jiang Zhou then issued Rp. 6,000 from his pocket, each given Rp. 2,000

"Money in jiang's pocket isn't enough today. Tomorrow I'll sell the eel and pay you your wages."

Speaking, Jiang Zhou wrote three pieces of debt with charcoal on top of the newspaper and handed them to the three children in earnest.

Dongzi was also a little confused.

He looked at Jiangzhou for a moment he felt that the brother jiang who often took him up and down mountains and down rivers since childhood looked a little different.

Jian Dongzi reached out his hand and took out his debt letter.

The other two children also reached out and took it the same way.

Actually was.

The three of them did not know that the debt letter could be said to be the first step of jiang zhou to build trust in the village.

After Jiang Zhou finished writing the debt letter.

All of these farm eels are kept in the water tanks that are in the yard.

When he turned around and saw that the three children were about to leave, jiang zhou immediately called out to the three of them.

“Wait a minute!”

The three children stopped.

Jiangzhou raised a large cauldron that was already boiling and smoky.

He took a large piece of meat oil from the pot with a shoe and stirred it in the pot, then sprinkled a handful of scallions.

At that moment

The scented scent that spread in the air directly entered into the noses of the three children.

"Wow! brother Jiang! It smells so good! Are you cooking?!"

They were children, they were not afraid of looking greedy.

The three children were silent on the spot as they were captivated by the scent, their saliva dripping instantly.

in an era like this, every family that eats good food will definitely close the door tightly.

they are afraid of being seen by people.

they feel bad if they do not share, but they are also not willing to give it to others.

The one boiling in Jiangzhou's pot was pork liver soup.

his liver is salted with a little rice wine, sweet potato powder, and sugar.

Don't drink salt, because salt makes it old

After salting, boil the water and put it in the pot

thicken the soup with sweet potato powder, then add onions, ginger, and rice wine to remove the fishy smell.

when going to be lifted from the pot, sprinkle with a handful of chopped chives and a tablespoon of lard.

there will be no fishy smell.

Instead, it feels refreshing and chewy, with a slightly sweet taste.

Mixed with a bowl of soup that is very delicious, a mouthful of pork, and a mouthful of soup. really very delicious to make the tongue of others bitten.

this was a way of cooking hearts as he went to the city of Decheng for business affairs in his previous life.

very delicious and nutritious.

jiang zhou originally wanted to cook this pork liver to improve the nutrition of Chloe and Zoe.

now after spending half to cook the soup, he cooked another half.

This large pot is enough to be distributed to several families.

Jiang Zhou smiled and said "There are a few bowls next to the stove.You guys grab yourself, I'll get you some soup "

as soon as he heard the words jiangzhou.

The three children rushed towards the stove. And as much as possible take a large bowl.

Jiangzhou is not stingy either.

He filled the bowl of the three children to the brim.

while taking the soup, jiang zhou also called Chloe and Zoe, jiang zhou placed their soup bowl on the table.

Dongzi carried the bowl impatiently.

He crouched under the wall and took a sip of his soup.

For a moment.

his heart taste was unique and chewy, followed by a sweet and fresh taste that spread in his mouth.

The aroma of chopped scallions, thick fat and spicy ginger that was accidentally bitten while chewing.

all of those unique flavors are at an incredible point.

The three children drank a sip of soup.

Their faces were immediately shocked.

"Sister Jiang! This pork heart soup is delicious! It smells so good!"

"I've never eaten such a delicious pork liver! It's delicious!"

"Ah, delicious, delicious! when I get home, I'll ask my mother to cook me a heart! it's tastier than meat!”

…

Rural children have strong skin and are not afraid of getting burned.

they drank it in big gulps.

the base of the large porcelain bowl was instantly visible.

Jiang Zhou knew that the three of them must not have been full, and took another bowl for each child.

inside the small courtyard, Chloe and Zoe were eating with satisfaction.

“Dad, Chloe wants another bowl of meat!"

"Zoe is also willing, sweet and soft, Zoe likes~"

The two little ones spoke in their cute voices while raising their small bowls in front of the jiang zhou

the bowl is so clean.

Jiang Zhou came over to them and added the soup into the bowls of the two cute children. He even intentionally added more hearts.

The liver of pigs nourishes the blood.

Of course Jiang Zhou wished the two little ones had eaten more.
