The sky was getting dark. Jiang He came back with two fishing rods and a big goose.
The big goose was still alive. It stared at Xu Qing in the living room with a pair of small eyes.
A row of question marks hung on Xu Qing's head.
"Why is it so smelly?"
Jiang He wrinkled his nose, put the fishing rod aside, and walked over with the big goose in one hand. Seeing the durian in Xu Qing's hand and the suspicious residue in his mouth, his expression suddenly became very complicated.
"Why did you take a goose? What have you been doing this afternoon? Could it be … "
Xu Qing already had a guess in his mind.
Fishing — didn't catch — caught a goose and brought it back.
Jiang He was a mature fisherman.
"I bought it …" Jiang He looked down at the big goose, and then looked at the clock in the living room. He covered his mouth and nose with the other hand in disgust and said in a muffled voice, "I will come back earlier to cook next time."
"It's not too late now. I left something delicious for you …" Xu Qing pushed the remaining durian on the table to her.
Jiang He's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly took a few steps back.
Xu Qing licked his lips and explained, "This is called durian, the same as stinky tofu …"
"Don't eat it!"
"…"
It took a lot of effort to explain that he was really not eating sh * t. Xu Qing also couldn't let Jiang He have a taste.
When he went home to cheat his house, he stole a durian from Xu Wenbin and wanted to give it to Jiang He to have a good taste. Unfortunately.
Xu Qing had to solve it by himself.
"You really didn't catch it secretly? Even if it is raised outside, it has an owner. You have to put it back. "Xu Qing said.
Jiang He had already boiled water to prepare to cook the big goose. The big goose was still ignorant, staring at White Gourd with its two small eyes.
"I bought it. There was an old lady selling it in the market. I felt sorry for it, but no one bought it, so I bought it back."
"What about the fish you caught?" Xu Qing didn't believe it.
The fisherman from the Air Force came back with a big goose in his hand. No matter how one looked at it, it was very suspicious.
"I caught a few and gave them to Pingping."
"Pingping?"
"Yogurt Beauty? I went fishing with her, but she didn't catch a single fish. So, I gave her all my fish," Jiang He said in the kitchen.
"So generous."
This explained why she came back with two fishing rods. Xu Qing now believed that she didn't catch the goose and bought it herself.
If he caught it outside, Jiang He would probably show it off to him as soon as he walked in, saying that it was his' trophy 'from hunting in the wild.
"Just a few, not enough for us to eat for one meal. She lives by herself, and it's just enough for one meal, so I gave it to her." Jiang He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the goose from the ground.
"Wait, are you going to kill it?" Xu Qing asked.
"What else?" Jiang He was a little puzzled. He took the goose's neck and looked at it, "Are you going to kill it?"
"… Okay, I'm just curious why you didn't buy the roasted goose if you wanted to eat it."
There was a roast goose restaurant across the street. Inside the restaurant, there was a roast goose that was half and whole.
"I wanted to buy a duck, but when I saw it, I remembered that you were chased by a big goose when you were a child, and you cried so much …"
"My mom was exaggerating. I was just chased for a while, and I didn't cry." Xu Qing corrected her seriously.
"Anyway, I suddenly wanted to eat it."
Jiang He pinched the goose's wing, and suddenly handed it to Xu Qing. Seeing Xu Qing leaning back, she thought it was fun, and then she grabbed it and went into the kitchen.
Xu Qing followed her to the kitchen door, and leaned against the door frame to watch her.
To be honest, if this thing was given to him, he didn't know what to do. Maybe he would break the goose's neck, and then check Baidu.
Jiang He seemed to be very familiar with it. She put a bowl on the table, pinched the goose's wing with her left hand, hooked a leg with her little finger, and fixed the neck with her index finger and thumb. With one hand, she made it look like it was about to be slaughtered.
"Do you want me to help …"
Before Xu Qing could finish his words, he saw Jiang He cut the goose's neck with the kitchen knife, and then pulled the goose's head. The blood flowed into the bowl.
"Help with what?" Jiang He tilted her head.
"Nothing, just be careful." Xu Qing saw the big goose was struggling hard.
Poor thing …
"It's too cruel."
Xu Qing shook his head and sighed. He couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Logically speaking, I should be the one cutting the goose's neck, and then you should be watching with your little fist at the kitchen door …"
"Then you do it?" Jiang He gestured, and the goose's blood continued to flow.
"Forget it."
Xu Qing waved his hand, accepting the fact that Jiang He was better than him in dealing with live birds.
In the past, she might have hunted pheasants and wild ducks to eat when she was free.
Taking the phone and checking Baidu, he turned around and said, "Keep the blood, don't pour it out."
In traditional Chinese medicine, goose's blood was flat, salty, and non-toxic. It entered the heart, liver, and stomach meridians; it had the effect of detoxifying and dredging, softening hard and blood stasis, nourishing Qi, warming the stomach, and quenching thirst.
It could also fight cancer.
"You are cruel." Jiang He murmured. Seeing that the blood was almost drained, he called Xu Qing to come in and pour the hot water from the pot into the bucket. Then he threw the big goose into the bucket and blanched it.
The goose was not as big as the chicken. It could not be finished in one meal. Jiang He only used half of it. He cut it into pieces and blanched it. Then he followed the instructions on the phone, adding two spoonfuls of oil, one spoonful of sugar, ginger slices, pepper, star anise, and cooking wine …
The fragrant braised goose was out of the pot.
Fresh and frozen meat not only had a different taste, but it was also more delicious. Xu Qing, who just thought it was cruel, burst into tears.
"It's the first time I cooked it, and it smells so good."
"The essence of cooking is the same. Just control the heat and seasoning well …"
Jiang He blabbered and taught his experience to Xu Qing. Xu Qing had already spat out a piece of bone.
"Delicious, right?" Jiang He squinted at him and smiled.
"Well, delicious!"
Xu Qing held the bowl and sighed. Even if Jiang He became fat one day, it was not a loss to have this skill.
"How much did you buy it?"
"Seventeen yuan per catty. This goose is more than six catties. You gave me a discount of six catties and charged me 100 yuan."
"Well, it's not expensive. It's good."
In terms of food, Jiang He was not as frugal as she was with hand cream. She might be reluctant to buy hand cream that cost hundreds of yuan, but it was different if she replaced the hand cream with chicken, duck, or fish.
When people were alive, they needed to eat and taste all sorts of things to fill their stomachs. This was the number one requirement. As for taking care of their hands, it was usually ranked at the bottom. In view of the fact that Xu Qing, that pervert, liked to rub and play with his hands, it was slightly higher — at most, it would be ranked fourth or fifth, no higher.
Jiang He thought, picked up the goose feet and put them in Xu Qing's bowl.
"Don't you like feet? Here you are."
“？”
Xu Qing felt very thirsty.
Half of the goose was finished by the two of them, and there were two small piles of bones on the table. White Gourd also had the honor to taste a small piece — although he could not eat heavy salt, it was okay to taste it occasionally.
Jiang He's phone rang. It was from the old woman whose name was "Pingping". Last time, it was "Gong Ping", but now it had become a reduplicated word …
It must be that old woman who taught him.
Xu Qing was very unhappy because he saw that his name was "Qingqing".
"It seems to be covered with flour. Let's eat it like this next time." Jiang He clicked on the photo sent by the other party and zoomed in with his finger. It was a plate of fried golden fish.
In the past, he had been misled by Xu Qing and cooked this kind of fish after catching it, but he had never fried it.
"What's wrong with that Qingqing?" Xu Qing asked.
"That's you."
"I know. Don't you think … she looks like a woman?"
"You look like a woman?" Jiang He was surprised and looked him up and down.
"I'm talking about this name. Don't play dumb."
"Qingqing, is it not nice?"
"Give me your phone."
Xu Qing waved his hand, took the phone, and quickly changed the name.
Husband.
Jiang He took back the phone and looked at him without saying a word.
"Okay, that's it." Xu Qing was in a good mood. He stretched and picked up White Gourd to sit on the sofa. The last part of weaving the vegetable basket was just a little more to complete.
Jiang He lowered his head and looked at the word "husband" on the phone. He raised his head slightly and stole a glance at Xu Qing, then quickly lowered his head again.
Husband just like that?
Her heart was thumping. These two words seemed to have a mysterious power, an indescribable feeling.
"Oh right, using WeChat to get a husband feels weird. Come over, I'll change it …"
Before Xu Qing finished, Jiang He turned and ran back to the room.
"…"
"Out of battery." When he came out again, Jiang He no longer had his phone in his hand. He spread his hands calmly and sat in front of the computer to play games.
"… As long as you like it."
Xu Qing was helpless. He gave up on changing it again and focused on helping Jiang He weave the vegetable basket.
Now that they were living together, this vegetable basket was not for Jiang He alone. His charger and bus card could be kept on the windowsill. If he needed it, he could go over and take it. If he did not, he could just throw it in the basket. This way, he would not be unable to find it when he needed it.
"A woman was robbed … on the way … luckily met … a passionate person …"
"My grandpa's grandpa's grandpa is Xu Chu."
"This is called Tiger Fool Fist."
"To practice boxing, one must first train the waist. The strength starts from the ground and originates from the legs. The strength reaches the shoulders, elbows, and wrists."
"All the martial arts in the world are the same."
Xu Qing frowned when he heard the strange voice. This seemed to be different from the video he watched last time. "What are you watching?"
"You're on the front page." Jiang He did not turn his head and watched with great interest.
"Front page?"
Xu Qing put down the things in his hands and came over to take a look. Wow, this is a new version.
All the GIFs from the news had been added to the video, and it was as if the two peaks were piercing his ears.
"This is the Tiger Fool Fist."
"When practicing martial arts, the waist and the horse must be one."
"What do you mean by standing? It doesn't exist."
Jiang He: "Too weak."
"When I say east, she doesn't dare to go west."
"This is called family brother." "
"Wife, give me a kiss."
Jiang He: "Get lost!" "
"Quarrel? We all fight directly. " "
"To practice martial arts, one must first train the waist. The strength starts from the ground and spreads to the legs. The strength reaches the shoulders, elbows, and wrists."
…
Damn it …
Xu Qing did not know whether to complain about God's restoration or what to do. This video was edited …
He had his ears pierced and stood as punishment. He looked like a martial arts master. In the end, he was told by Jiang He that he was too weak.
"Why is it on the front page?" Xu Qing held the mouse and clicked.
"I saw it the moment I opened it."
Jiang He looked very excited. "Look at you. You seem to be very strong outside, but very weak when you come back."
"It's not like, it's the truth."
"…"
"It's over. My reputation is ruined." Xu Qing rubbed his head. His phone rang, and he picked it up to take a look.
Wang Zijun: "Hahahaha."
Wang Zijun: "Video sharing."
In another small group, there were already 99 + messages. They were all screenshots of Xu Qing being too weak. Qin Hao was lying at home bored and sent the most messages.
"We seem to be …" Xu Qing opened Jiang He's homepage and saw that the number of views of her previous live broadcast had increased. "We seem to be a little popular."
"Who?" Jiang He asked.
"Okay … it's me. I seem to be a little popular." Xu Qing clicked on the homepage of his main account. He showed his face in the video of him making chain mail, and the number of views had increased.
Folk martial arts, Tiger Addict Fist. He liked to make armor when he was free, and he was a warm-hearted citizen who helped to subdue criminals.
This was his current image.
Luck was called luck because you didn't know when it would come and how it would come.
"It's a good thing, right?" Jiang He guessed. There didn't seem to be any drawbacks. The more people saw it, the more famous Xu Qing became.
"Sort of …"
Xu Qing scratched his head. "For now, it's a good thing."
Outside, he was an expert who could beat up armed criminals. At home, he was a doormat. His character was invincible … That was what Gui Shou meant, and he wanted to lead in this direction.
"But, I'm worried …"
Buzz buzz buzz …
His phone vibrated and rang. Xu Qing shrugged. "What I'm worried about is here."
"What's up with that Tiger Addict Fist?!"
After picking up the call, Xu Wenbin went straight to the point.
"I'm just kidding. Didn't I practice boxing for a few days? I told you during the day. Otherwise, I'd be lying in bed with Haozi."
"Then, what's up with the two of you? Didn't you make a video? She made some information … "
Xu Wenbin thought for a long time but couldn't remember what Jiang He was talking about.
Xu Qing said, "It connects the modem to the server through the VLSI microprocessor and performs high-speed information exchange activities with other information network users."
Xu Wenbin felt a headache coming on. "Don't bullshit with me. What's this for?"
"Oh, we're bored, so we play games at home. Then, I … you know what I mean."
"What do I know?!"
"Anyway, we play games, practice martial arts, make armor, and earn some pocket money. That video is fake and taken out of context. How can I be bullied …"
"I don't care if you're bullied or not. I care about you! Is that what I'm asking? "
Xu Qing gestured for Jiang He to continue playing while he sat down and explained to Xu Wenbin.
"Dad, I'm going to be famous soon. When I earn a few million yuan, you'll be the richest man in the world …" He changed his tone and tried to show off to Xu Wenbin.
"Don't play this game with me! You're doing … a livestream, right? "
"Yeah." Xu Qing saw that he couldn't fool his dad anymore and admitted it without hesitation.
"You're still trying to deny it. You …" Xu Wenbin shouted. Then, he felt something was off. "What did you say?"
"We're doing a livestream of practicing martial arts and making armor."
"… Oh."
Xu Wenbin paused for a moment. "Yeah."
"Yeah. Yeah."
"…"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Xu Wenbin said, "Then, I'll hang up now."
