Exiled in a Famine Year, the Peasant Girl is Spoiled by a Powerful Official

Shen Xinli transmigrated one day to become a seven-year-old peasant girl. Originally, she held no hope for her new life, but the care and love from her family changed her perspective.

Transmi...

Chapter 54 Get Two Free Guards

"Mother, Second Aunt, let's have fish soup. Fish soup will help Grandmother's wound heal faster. Then each of us can fry two fish, and salt the rest to eat tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Ali."

Shen Fuyou spoke without waiting for the two women to answer, which made his second aunt spit at him.

There are few rivers in the north, so naturally there are few fish.

The Shen family rarely eats fish.

Of the fish caught today, only a few were as big as an adult's palm, and the rest were small fish about four or five inches long.

Chen Xinli gave the most reasonable distribution, and the whole family swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

The rice mixed with millet and rice in the pot has been cooked and poured into a large earthen basin.

Shen Fuyu and Shen Fugui began to grill the fish skillfully, while Wu and Zhang carefully scraped off the rice grains and prepared to fry the fish in an iron pan to make fish soup.

In fact, I also brought another clay pot, but it was used to boil medicine for Old Mrs. Wu, so it was not suitable for making fish soup.

The small fish are placed in circles in the pot, and the oil underneath acts on the fish meat under the stimulation of heat.

The sizzling sound in the pot attracted everyone's attention.

The aroma of fish floating in the air is also unforgettable.

Li Xiang wanted to hold his breath very much, but the aroma of the fish kept coming into his nose.

It really made him unable to sleep.

Shen Fugui and Shen Fuyou were grilling fish on the side, just brushing some oil on them and grilling them directly.

The fish is small and soon gives off an enticing aroma.

Kuai Wei smelled the fragrance.

The master next to him seemed to be asleep.

His legs involuntarily moved towards the Shen family's fire.

I just happened to see that the fish was almost grilled and Old Man Wu was sprinkling a layer of fine salt on it.

Old man Wu was assigned this task and kept swallowing hard.

In the Wu family, old man and old lady Wu are reluctant to eat the good things and leave them for their little grandson.

Many years ago, he had eaten fish when the village river was still dry.

I've been craving the taste of that fish and tofu soup for decades, but I've never tasted it again.

I didn't expect that I could eat fish while being exiled with my daughter.

Old Man Wu felt that perhaps following his quiet son-in-law and introverted daughter would be a good way out.

After all, he saw everything when Old Mrs. Wu was cleaned and had medicine applied again.

I didn't expect that the happiness I hoped to enjoy from my son would end up being enjoyed by my daughter.

Looking at the small fish in front of him, Old Man Wu's eyes felt a little sore.

"Hello, sir, but I was attracted here by the smell of this fish!"

Chen Xinli looked at the man staring at the grilled fish in her grandfather's hand and asked with a smile.

Kuai Wei looked embarrassed.

Now that you've said it directly, how can I still have the nerve to ask for food?

"Please wait a moment, sir. We will bring the fish to you as soon as it's grilled."

Chen Xinli added calmly.

In the darkness of the night, the newly appointed bailiff couldn't help but blush.

What the hell is this?

Is it written on your face that you are delicious?

Chen Xinli was very satisfied.

If they encountered bandits along the way, they would naturally be unable to solve the problem if they relied on themselves alone.

As for the two bailiffs sent by the court, Chen Xinli felt that they were the guards of their Shen family.

As for how to turn them into guards, Chen Xinli has many ways, and she is not in a hurry.

Now, this food temptation should be one of them.

After all, there are buns, steamed buns, meat, and various fruits in her space!

She just couldn't believe that these two officials wouldn't be extremely greedy.

"Okay, okay."

Kuai Wei said this, but he didn't leave. He sat down next to the fire.

Li Xiang, who was left not far away, was secretly angry. He didn't even bother to invite me to sit down with him. What a shame.

Soon, the fish soup was bubbling.

Chen Xinli picked several handfuls of wild vegetables and put them into the pot. The freshness of the fish and the spicy taste of wild onions intertwined together, and the fresh fragrance filled the air.

Although only seasoned with salt, the fish is fresh and tender, and the taste itself is enough.

Each of the two officials was given a bowl of fish soup and two grilled fish.

The Shen family began to enjoy dinner on the first day of exile.

Each person had a big bowl of millet rice, a big spoonful of fish soup, and a bite of grilled fish.

These days are much happier than those in Qianniu Village.

Shen Fuyou smacked his lips, feeling very satisfied.

After Kuai Wei finished drinking the fish soup, he wanted to get another bowl, but when he saw that the soup was almost finished, he had to give up.

Li Xiang was drinking fish soup not far away.

I couldn't help but feel a little stir in my heart.

You know what, this little fish tastes really unique when grilled.

The little taste is absolutely amazing.

Looking at the plate of grilled fish placed by the Shen family from afar, I felt that I was still not satisfied.

But the Shen family had already distributed the grilled fish, and he felt embarrassed to ask for more.

The sky in June is full of stars.

Fireflies are everywhere, adding a hazy beauty to the summer night.

After finishing her meal, Chen Xinli looked up at the sky, then looked at the family beside her and the officials in the distance, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She remembered going to Jinyi Pavilion to find Manager Pang.

There are bandits in Lieshan Village.

Although they were now resting at the foot of the mountain, some distance away.

But Chen Xinli still felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Father, you and Second Uncle should be more alert at night. Things might get uneasy at night."

Chen Xinli quietly crawled over and said to her father.

After a day of running around, the three brothers might be excited about fishing in the evening, but they were already exhausted at this moment, and even their mother and second aunt had gone to bed.
