Once the eel stops jumping, you can open the lid and stir-fry it carefully with a spatula until it turns golden brown and curls up. Then, add minced garlic, ginger slices, dried chili pepper pieces, and salt to sauté until fragrant. Finally, drizzle a spoonful of white vinegar from the side of the pot to soften the eel's bones.

Before taking it off the heat, add a handful of perilla leaves.

The aroma immediately filled the air.

"Auntie, are we going to eat this eel directly? Can we eat the innards too?" The three siblings squatted in front of the stove, each holding two skewers of loach in their hands, grilling them. Looking at the spicy and fragrant eel in the pot, they all swallowed hard.

In the past, when the Su family lived a hard life, they used to catch eels and loaches and roast them on the mountain to eat.

But the fishy smell and the aroma of the food my aunt made were like two completely different dishes.

“The internal organs of this eel are too dirty. Eating it can easily cause worms to grow in your stomach.” Su Hua shook her head with a light laugh and picked up a coiled eel to demonstrate, “Like this, bite down from the neck and separate the meat from the internal organs in one bite.”

Su Hua skillfully tore off a piece of internal organ and threw it into the stove, while she directly put the eel meat on the other side into her mouth.

The pan-fried eel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with bright red chili peppers.

One bite, and the spicy flavor instantly fills your mouth.

"Delicious!" Su Hua nodded in satisfaction, saying that once she started eating, she couldn't stop.

They eliminated four or five in no time.

"Big Brother, can you hold this for me?" Erlang licked his lips, handed the loach skewer in his hand to Su Dalang, and imitated Su Hua by picking up a coiled eel, grabbing its neck and biting down.

Her brows furrowed instantly. "Tsk, why is it all sand?"

He took it down intending to rip off the internal organs, but the dragon eel suddenly fell to the ground.

Little Black, who had been waiting nearby, suddenly darted over.

He swallowed the whole dragon eel in one gulp.

Finally, it didn't forget to wag its little tail and bark happily at Erlang.

Jiro, who was about to pick it up, stared in disbelief, “…”

Dalang held up five or six roasted loaches, grinning and showing off his white teeth. "Hahahaha, you idiot!"

Xiao Chunhua's eyes crinkled with a smile, "Silly Second Brother!!!"

Su Hua shook her head and chuckled, skillfully tearing three strips of eel and stuffing one into each of the three small mouths...

Just as the three children were happily preparing a feast of eels and loaches, the door of the wooden house at the end of the village opened slightly, and a figure completely wrapped in black clothes landed down.
