Song Tan Jishi

Chapter 178: Two Apprentices

It is rare to see such a rich fish at one time, and the seventh cousin is still explaining it to Qiao Qiao seriously.

At this moment, what he pulled out from the ground cage was a constantly struggling eel.

There is mucus on the eel's body, which is generally slippery and difficult to grasp.

But at this moment, Seventh Cousin pinched his thumb, index finger and middle finger like that, no matter how hard his body curled up underneath, he just couldn't break free.

"Are you scared?"

He looked at Jojo.

"I've eaten this," Qiao Qiao smiled and touched the cold and smooth body of the rice field eel: "Dad said it's not a water snake, it doesn't bite, it's a rice field eel."

Seventh Cousin nodded appreciatively to him: "Yes, but if you are really in a hurry, you can bite it, but the poison is not strong, just wash it with water and alcohol and you'll be fine."

There was more than one eel in the ground cage, and the seventh cousin quickly took out another eel and threw it into the bucket:

"Catch it with your hands and try it."

Qiaoqiao was very happy, and now he stretched out his hand and sent it into the bucket. However, as soon as he buckled it again, the eel slipped out from his fingers with a twist.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, with both hands together, in the end, he couldn't hold the rice field eel as easily and firmly as the Seventh Cousin.

Qiao Qiao stared blankly at his hand, extremely wronged:

"It's so slippery."

The Seventh Cousin smiled, and encouraged him: "The fish are very slippery, so you have to be willing to do it. Do you see its head? Go down to the long part and give it a hard buckle! Don't worry about how it twists, it won't lose its strength. Be steady and not loose..."

The two helping aunts were packing vegetables and meat. Seeing how the Seventh Cousin was teaching Qiao Qiao seriously, they subconsciously breathed lightly.

It was only before the vegetable bowl was brought into the stove that the two began to discuss:

"Look at the child's cousin, he's quite good at teaching, coaxing and playing, Qiao Qiao is very happy."

In their view, learning to cook is either practicing chopping and chopping, or carrying a large pot back and forth to stir fry. What's the point of catching eels here?

When I first came in, I poured another pot of loach! After catching loaches and eels, children can play all morning.

The other person laughed: "It's because Qiao Qiao is so courageous. Why don't they be afraid? I see that eel twisting and twisting like a snake, and I feel scared."

"What's the matter!" The aunt on the opposite side laughed:

"When a child was young, they were not afraid of anything. When I was young, I worked so hard to raise silkworms. Now you let me see white and fat silkworms, and I still feel a little hairy."

This is true.

The two were laughing and joking, and the topic didn't know where it went.

And at the edge of the pool, Seventh Cousin took care of the harvest of the two cages full of ground, while Qiao Qiao competed with the bucket of eels and loach.

At this moment, the left and right hands are like practicing iron sand palms, and they keep catching downwards. If the left hand is tired, change to the right hand, and if the right hand is tired, change to the left hand.

Grandma Seven handed over his big tea mug, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile:

"This kid is quite serious."

"That is." Seventh Cousin was also satisfied.

Ever since Qiao Qiao came to his house for the first time, he had seen that this kid was stupid, but if he was asked to do something, he would be able to keep doing it. This level of concentration is amazing.

It is also because of this that after getting along with him during this period of time, Seventh Cousin is really tempted to teach him seriously.

Don’t think that catching rice eel and loach seems to be meaningless, in fact, the practice is to be fast, accurate and steady. Once the chef’s hand is steady, it proves that the heart is also steady, and he can devote himself to anything, and get twice the result with half the effort.

It's also a trick of fate. Twenty years ago, when he was young and strong and wanted to take on an apprentice, his parents sent the child home, and he knelt down and kowtowed.

The other party burst into tears, saying that there were too many children in the family, and they only asked for food and a craft to make a living.

In this regard, he did not let go, but arranged for the other party to work back and forth, and after careful study for a year, he agreed.

In those days, every family was not well-off, and their family could practice their hands every day, so they didn't feel bad about it.

The Seventh Cousin has indeed passed on the mantle.

Even the contacts who made the grand banquet by themselves were all pushed over. During the years that his apprentice followed him, he had no income except for the first three years of basic skills, but he didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

Later, the apprentice stopped studying culinary skills, and instead spent more than half a month earning a lot of money. Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to wander around the coastal cities, and then run away when he comes back.

As a master, Seventh Cousin thinks he is quite qualified. Even if he was counting on his apprentice to take care of him in the future, he didn't intend to treat him badly. The house hadn't been demolished at that time, but he still had his own small courtyard.

But who would have thought that the disciple who had spotted the mantle would pack up his things and fly away, and his parents would bring a large group of brothers to the door to scold him for oppressing the children.

Now that she is old and old, she has her eyes on this silly Qiao Qiao again.

If it was said that he was teaching with a mission before, after this period of communication, Seventh Cousin has put more and more attention on it.

I don't want to provide for the elderly, I just like this child.

Thinking of the past, Seventh Cousin and Seventh Grandma didn't know what to say. It was also because of that incident that the couple suffered a serious illness, and they have lived in the urban area since then.

Now, looking at the silly Qiao Qiao in front of him, Seventh Cousin laughed again:

"Qiao Qiao, let me ask you, do you dare to kill a chicken?"

Qiao Qiao looked up blankly: "I haven't killed, I don't know if I dare or not."

"Then what about killing Dabai?"

Qiao Qiao shook his head: "Dabai can't be killed, Dabai is a good brother, Dabai is helping me watch the mountains."

"What if you have to kill him?"

"That's not allowed!" Qiao Qiao became serious, his eyes widened: "No."

Seventh Cousin: ...

Why is this kid so stubborn?

He originally wanted to introduce a small teaching topic, but now his stubborn temper also came up:

"You see, this goose is not raised by your family, and you didn't spend money on him, so why can't you kill it? What if your grandparents agree?"

Qiao Qiao held back, he didn't know what to say, but he still emphasized at the moment: "No way! Just no way!"

"I'll run with it and hide it in the mountains."

"Then if it's your parents and your sister, why don't you just kill them while you're not at home?"

Qiao Qiao frowned, her eye circles were red, as if she was about to shed tears in the next moment.

Grandma Seven stood by and gave the old man a hard look, but she heard Qiao Qiao say:

"My parents and my sister said that Qiao Qiao is very good and will never make Qiao Qiao sad."

But Seventh Cousin didn't want to stop there, and still wanted to get to the bottom of it:

"What if? If you kill, what are you going to do?"

Qiao Qiao remained silent, with tears rolling in his eyes: "Then Qiao Qiao doesn't eat, and Qiao Qiao will starve herself to death, so go and accompany Dabai!"

The Seventh Cousin had a complicated expression, and finally murmured: "Silly boy, you are so hungry, you don't think so."

Qiao Qiao raised her head stubbornly: "Then wait until I'm very hungry. If I don't do anything, Dabai will be even more sad."

Tomorrow is the last day, let's collect 4,000 votes, my friends! Doubling it would be more than a hundred!

I'm too sleepy, let's make it up in the next update tomorrow.
