If they have grown, they must have just grown and shouldn't be so red and swollen that they've become infected.

"Should I find it and give it to them?"

"The packaging is different, how are you going to give it to me? Find a porcelain bottle, squeeze it out and put it in?"

"It's not impossible. We can say that you got it by chance when you were helping me with my postpartum confinement in the county town. We don't know how effective it will be."

There's only one bottle; tell them to use it sparingly.

Hearing her say that, Chi Qiao went along with her: "Alright, if you, as an elder, care about the younger generation and are willing to give, then give it."

Anyway, her two cheap sons also got frostbite.

She gave it to him, and once the two boys recovered, they would definitely be grateful to their mother.

Chi Yu sat by the stove for a while, and when she saw her sister had finished cleaning the fish and started grilling it with charcoal, she realized that it was different from what she had expected.

Her idea was to make grilled fish like the ones from the Sichuan and Chongqing region, not grilled fish like beef or mutton skewers.

"Sis, are you planning to bake it and serve it straight away?"

"Yes! I know what you're thinking, you want to make dry-pot style grilled fish. But we don't have the tools, nor do we have the vegetables for the bottom."

For example, onions, potatoes, and celery.

Even if you do have it, can you legitimately produce it?

No, then this is the only way to bake it!

Chi Yu felt that she was merging better and better with the original owner, and her mind was gradually becoming less sharp.

Hearing this, she shook her head vigorously, then stood up and said, "Then you grill the fish, and I'll make the sauerkraut fish."

Let's see what Qin Mu says after he eats it. If we don't have the recipe for pickled fish, then we'll sell pickled fish.

Otherwise, if we want to grill the fish, we'll have to use the few seasonings we have left.

I don't know how to adjust these, only you do, sister.

"Selling a recipe and then having to sell all the seasonings along with it doesn't seem like a good deal to me."

"Okay, then you do it. Choose a bigger one and make more."

If there's any left over, let the clan chief and the others pack it up and take it home so their families can have some too.

Chi Yu knew that her sister was doing this for her own good, so she also chose a grass carp weighing six or seven pounds.

She planned to scoop a bowlful for each table later, and divide the rest into four portions.

Three portions were given to the clan chief and elders, and the remaining portion was left to cool and put into a bamboo tube for Qin Mu to take down the mountain tomorrow.

When it comes time to sell, having ready-made dishes is always better than just dry written descriptions.

Thinking about it, she realized she would have to make boiled pork again later.

Firstly, it would be good for entertaining the clan chief and the others; secondly, it would also allow Qin Mu to take away the recipes to sell.

She thought this way, and she told Chi Qiao the same thing.

Chi Qiao didn't object and let her do what she wanted.

Fortunately, they were all efficient people. While marinating the fish slices, she washed the cutting board and other items, and went out to get pork tenderloin to make boiled pork.

By the time Chi Qiao finished grilling the fish and she had also prepared the two dishes, more than half an hour had passed.

Meanwhile, Chi Dongyi and his group had already arrived and were now sitting in the main room, being entertained by the three Chi brothers.

"Dinner's ready!"

As soon as Chi Yu called out, the Chi family members, who had been waiting for a long time, all rushed into the kitchen to help serve the food.

This time, to ensure the health of the old clan leader and others, Qin Mu avoided suspicion and did not go to the main room. Instead, he ate at the kitchen table with Chi Yu, Chi Qiao, and others.

As for Liu Lingling and her sister-in-law, they ate in Chi Yu's kang room with their children.

Chi Dongyi felt this was inappropriate, as it showed the Chi clan was disrespecting their guests, but Qin Mu insisted, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Just as everyone was engrossed in their meal, a slightly frightened scream came from outside the door.

"Chieftain, are you here? It's freezing raining; the rainwater on the road, in the trees, and under the eaves is all frozen—"
