Chapter 548 Good things are hard to come by
By the time the fish was cooked, everyone was starving.
Two tables, one large and one small.
A fish was also split in half.
The old doctor didn't care about the grilled fish at first. He was eating pine mushroom slices. This is a good thing. It tastes good and has medicinal properties. There is no harm in eating more.
But all the Zhou family members at the table were stretching their chopsticks towards the fish, and the chopsticks that were reaching for the pine mushroom slices suddenly changed direction and turned to the grilled fish.
He ate it without saying a word.
He took another bite with chopsticks.
He has been eating all his life and has eaten a lot of good food. Thanks to his identity as a doctor, he has eaten many delicacies from land and sea.
But I have never eaten any kind of fish with meat so tender, fresh and sweet, without any fishy smell, and tastes better than crab.
Zhou Guo saw him eat a few slices of pine mushroom, taste a piece of fish meat, and then he couldn't stop.
Yixiao thought that if this fish could be brought to the restaurant, it would be a big killer. Unfortunately, the yield was not good. Even she could not catch it every time. The most she caught was three like today, and the least was only one.
There is not enough for our own consumption, how can there be any left to serve to the restaurant?
Thinking of this, he picked up another piece of food with chopsticks.
Although this fish is big, there are too many people to eat it.
Soon, only fish bones were left.
This fish has only big bones and very few small bones, so it is very easy to eat.
The old doctor saw that half of the fish was quickly eaten, and he felt sorry for the empty plate. He said to the old man, "Brother, let's go into the mountains to catch a few more tomorrow. This thing is so delicious, why don't we catch a few more?"
The old man glanced at Zhou Guo and said with a smile, "Although this fish is delicious, it is not easy to get. You can see that I sat there for a day and only caught a few grass carp and silver carp. These were caught after my little apprentice went there. No one in our family can catch this kind of thing alone. Usually we can catch two because we are lucky. Today, we caught three, which is unprecedented. It must be God's blessing."
"So that's how it is!" The old doctor nodded and sighed, "Yes, good things are hard to come by. If they can be easily obtained, they are not good things anymore."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Old doctor, are you thinking about the big Ganoderma lucidum you got today? It's so big and it grows on the edge of a cliff. Isn't it rare?"
Li and others had already seen it. As soon as they came back and put down the backpack, Zhou Su saw the fiery red Ganoderma lucidum. Everyone held it in their hands, looked at it from left to right, and guessed how much such a Ganoderma lucidum would sell for.
The old doctor was not embarrassed and thanked Zhou Guo, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Zhou today. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back, and how could we sit here and eat fish!"
Ok?
The Zhou family members looked back and forth at them.
Seeing that he brought it up without hesitation, Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's not worth it. It's just that you are not familiar with the mountains. You must call me wherever you go. Otherwise, if you go too deep, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."
The old doctor smiled bitterly and said, "I have lived a lifetime and climbed many mountains. Today, I was careless and almost capsized in the ditch."
Everyone is curious, why can't you get to the point?
Zhou Su asked directly: "Old doctor, did you encounter a wild boar while wandering in the mountains today?"
The old doctor shook his head and told the whole process word for word.
Zhou Guo was listening intently, but she only knew the general idea and didn't know the details.
After hearing this, the whole family felt scared for him. If Zhou Guowan went over to meet him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A group of people in the room chatted and ate until late at night.
Zhou Guo got up very early the next day, and after practicing his exercises, he took some time to go to the mountains.
I haven't been there for a few days, so I still have to go and show up.
When Wu Jiang and his companions saw her coming, they were overjoyed and followed her to tell her in detail about the progress in Tianshan Mountain.
While listening, Zhou Guo went to her shed and looked over a pile of jars on the ground. This was the last step of planting. In another five or six days, the seeds could be planted. They were growing well.
Several plots of land in the mountains had been cleared and covered with the rice bran, sawdust and other things she wanted. She squatted down, grabbed a handful, took a look, and nodded. She felt at ease with the way Wu Jiang and his men were doing their work.
"Keep an eye on the things in the shed these days. If anything is wrong, come to my house and tell me. We can plant the seeds in five or six days. I don't think I'll be free these days. If I forget, you have to come to my house and remind me."
Wu Jiang should be.
She went to take a look at the mountain where mushrooms were grown. This reminded her of the two pieces of wood she picked up for mushrooms yesterday. She had to go to the mountain and bring them back today no matter what.
Finally I went to Feizhuang, and now it’s the first batch of fat.
When the women saw her coming, they all happily called her "Master".
Zhou Guo nodded in response and said, "I just came to take a look, you guys go and get busy."
The women dispersed as they were told and went about their own business.
Zhou Guo approached a fertilizer pile and scooped out some fertilizer with a shovel. As soon as she smelled it, she knew it might not be enough in seven or eight days and she had to turn the pile over again. After all, it was her first time and she was not skilled enough. The quality of the fertilizer pile was not very good this time and its fertility was not that good.
But the first fermentation is already very good, and the quality will surely make a qualitative leap in time.
Hu Zi was a little nervous at the side. He was the one watching Fei Zhuang. "Boss, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Guo didn't say anything, and looked at several more in succession. They were all similar, and then he said, "There are problems, but generally speaking, they are not serious. I have to review them again tomorrow morning, so you can watch them."
Hu Zi then breathed a sigh of relief and said yes.
Zhou Guo looked at the two of them and saw that they both had dark circles under their eyes. He said, "Let everyone work hard and don't slack off. When the wages are paid at the end of this month, I will give everyone more wages based on their performance. Whoever works harder will get more!"
The two men perked up, puffed out their chests, raised their heads, and there was no trace of fatigue on their faces. They said excitedly, "Yes!"
Zhou Guo smiled, glanced at the two people's faces, and said, "You two, do a good job!"
The two were even more excited than before, and the sound echoed back from the mountain wall.
Zhou Guo left with peace of mind. With the two of them around, she felt much more relaxed. The old man and Li's Zhou Gu and others only needed to come and hang around a few times every day. There was no need to keep an eye on them.
When I got home, the food was already on the table.
The family had a simple breakfast in the morning, porridge and steamed buns. Yesterday, Mrs. Li even specially steamed dumplings, pickles, and stir-fried vegetables.
The porridge was not simple either, it was shadowless fish porridge, made with a whole fish. Each of them had only one bowl, and the rest belonged to Zhou Dacang.
He can't eat big meals yet. He's so big, and eating only soups and water all day long won't keep him full. He gets hungry after a while, and asks for food every time he wakes up.
I didn’t make enough porridge yesterday, so I made more today.
Zhou Guo took a mouthful of porridge and his eyebrows were raised in delight. It has been two years since he ate Shadowless Fish, but it seems that he has never eaten it like this in his memory?
