Chapter 36 Someone Reported the County Magistrate!
Originally, there were only three halls in the fairyland, which were used to store food, medicinal materials and weapons.
But!
Next to the three halls, there was an extra fence!
There were cages inside, each with four chickens and ducks, alive!
"My fairyland... is starting to raise living things!?" The little guy was surprised.
She hurriedly ran to check if the jade was still there.
Sure enough.
The jade disappeared.
Not only that, when Shen Ningning passed by the spiritual spring, she found that there were dozens of fat fish shaking their tails in the pond!
"Grandma! We've made a fortune! We can raise chickens and ducks!" The little guy ran out of the fairyland excitedly.
She dragged the bamboo cage in one hand and held two big fish in the other.
The fish struggled so hard that Shen Ningning's clothes were all covered with water stains!
Grandma Qin came over after hearing the sound and was surprised to see this: "Is this from Ningning's fairyland again? Great!"
The grandparents and grandchildren hurried to the lotus pond to release the fish.
Shen Ningning took out ten of them at once and threw them into the pond to raise.
The wolves approached curiously, and the three wolves opened their mouths to bite the fish in the water, but were suddenly slapped by the fish's tail, and they howled in anger.
Grandma Qin and Shen Ningning went to the kitchen with a smile.
In the small yard next to the kitchen, a fence was specially erected.
Chickens and ducks were raised on the left and right sides.
Grandma Qin checked the eight small animals and nodded repeatedly: "Really good, especially this pair of ducks."
"When they lay eggs, grandma will make salted duck eggs for you to eat."
Shen Ningning began to drool when she heard these three words.
She lay outside the fence and looked eagerly: "Grandma, are we considered a rich family now?"
She had heard Aunt Qin say before that the old village chief was the richest family in the village.
Because his family had chickens, ducks and pigs!
So, Shen Ningning felt that being able to raise these small animals represented wealth.
And the money she earned was not as cute as a living thing!
Grandma Qin smiled and touched her red little face.
"Okay, grandma will make fish soup for Ningning at noon."
"Okay!" The little guy agreed happily.
I saw Grandma Qin rolled up her sleeves and neatly caught a fat fish from the lotus pond.
Then she took it into the kitchen and slapped the fish head with the back of the knife.
Shen Ningning was originally leaning on the door to watch, and when she saw this scene, she hurriedly covered her eyes with her little hands.
"Scared~" Her voice was trembling.
Grandma Qin's loving laughter came: "Don't be afraid, grandma knocked it unconscious, it can't feel the pain."
After a long time, Shen Ningning dared to open her five fingers and peek through her fingers.
Grandma Qin had already handled the fat fish skillfully.
I saw her holding a butcher knife in her hand, scraping off all the fish scales.
All the fish's internal organs were taken out and just put on the ground, Wolf Four squeezed in with his chubby body and ate it with ease.
Then, Grandma Qin held the knife upright and went down along the fish's spine, feeling the direction of the big spine while slicing the fish lightly.
"Wow!" Shen Ningning watched intently: "Grandma is so amazing!"
Grandma Qin smiled and didn't care.
When she was young, her father was a butcher.
So when Grandma Qin was still a girl, she followed her father to kill pigs and sheep.
Processing a fish is no problem.
Shen Ningning saw that Grandma Qin stir-fried the fish bones, fish heads, pepper, green onions and ginger together.
Then pour in the boiling spiritual spring water.
Cook on low heat for twenty minutes, then open the lid, the thick soup has become milky white!
Add a spoonful of clear salt, and the fragrance comes directly to your nose.
"It smells so good!" Shen Ningning couldn't help but lie down beside the stove, her big eyes were watery, and she looked eagerly.
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "It's not done yet."
She used a homemade wooden colander to scoop out the residue.
The fish soup was filtered two or three times with a tofu mesh, fearing that fish bones would get stuck in Shen Ningning.
In the end, only the fragrant fish soup was left.
Grandma Qin put the fish meat in to blanch it, and then put in the cut tofu cubes, washed green vegetables, fungus and mushrooms.
When it was cooked, she took it out and spread it on the bottom of the bowl.
After arranging the fish meat, Grandma Qin sprinkled ground pepper on it and poured it with boiling hot oil!
Sizzle——
The hot tofu fish soup was out of the pot.
The fragrance immediately wafted out, and the wolves crowded at the door and looked around, wondering what delicious food it was.
Brought to the courtyard, the grandparents and grandchildren held the hot rice bowl.
Grandma Qin scooped a spoonful of fish soup, blew it twice, and handed it to the little guy's lips.
Shen Ningning opened her mouth and drank it all in one gulp!
Fresh!
It was so delicious that it made my eyebrows drop!
"It's so delicious!" Shen Ningning couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and drink several mouthfuls of fish soup.
Grandma Qin smiled from ear to ear: "Slow down, be careful of the heat."
Wolf Four couldn't help it, and moved closer to Grandma Qin, his wolf eyes kept looking at the table.
The Black Wolf King roared, and Wolf Four went back in disgrace.
He couldn't eat fish, so he had to hold the pork bone full of meat and gnaw it.
Seeing Shen Ningning eating so deliciously, Grandma Qin felt it was worth it even if she was sweating profusely.
She smiled kindly: "When Ningning comes back next time, Grandma will make grilled fish for you."
Shen Ningning looked up and saw beads of sweat on Grandma's forehead.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks distressedly and ran over to wipe the sweat off Grandma with her little hands.
"Grandma, don't be too tired! The weather is so hot, and you will faint from staying in the kitchen all the time!"
Shen Ningning said this, and suddenly thought of something, and flashed into the fairyland.
After a while, she came out again, with a few more herbs in her hand.
The little guy put the herbs in a purse and put them in Grandma Qin's hand.
"Last time, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop gave me a sachet for cooling off. It is very useful. Keep it for grandma."
Grandma Qin was quite emotional: "Ningning is really considerate. With you here, grandma doesn't have to worry about anything."
"Okay, Ningning, go eat quickly. The fish soup is better to be hot."
Later, Shen Ningning was thinking while eating.
Is there any way to cool grandma down?
It has completely entered summer, and the weather will get hotter and hotter.
Yesterday, when she returned to Langshan from Xiangyun Village, she saw that the land in the fields had cracked a few inches again.
*
On the day of school, the carriage arranged by the county magistrate was waiting at the foot of Langshan as usual.
Shen Ningning was carrying a heavy food box filled with Grandma Qin's love!
"Guard brother!" She ran down the hill happily.
"Miss Shen." The guard smiled reluctantly.
Shen Ningning has been able to read faces since she was a child. Seeing the guard like this, she couldn't help but be curious: "Guard brother, have you encountered something unhappy?"
The guard was startled and bowed quickly: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen. It's not that I am humble, but Miss Shen will be out of school in two days, and I may not be able to pick you up."
Shen Ningning blinked her round eyes, thought for a while, and then smiled sweetly.
"It doesn't matter! Just go and do your business!"
"It's not like that, but... the county magistrate has been impeached and reported recently, saying that he harmed the people. The situation is serious. The magistrate has been ordered to stay at home and wait for investigation."
