Chapter 5 Crayfish
Even the old chefs who have prepared state banquets would give a thumbs up and praise Lin Yunxi's dishes after eating them, saying that the dishes cooked by Lin Yunxi are full of spirit and without any artificiality.
Smell its fragrance, taste its flavor, the food is finite but the taste is endless.
On the contrary, the dishes she cooks are mainly home-cooked meals. She pursues the original flavor of the food, but can bring people the ultimate taste enjoyment.
After the meal, Lin Yunxi took Yanyan for a few laps under the eaves to help digest the food, as lying down right after a meal was not good for the stomach.
Seeing that Yanyan was too sleepy to open his eyes, Lin Yunxi carried him to the bed and gently patted his little belly to coax him to sleep.
After Yanyan fell asleep, Lin Yunxi prepared to go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, but as soon as he turned around, he realized something was wrong.
She looked back and saw Yanyan's little hands tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.
Lin Yunxi carefully pried open his fingers, and Yanyan seemed to feel it at this time.
He closed his eyes in his sleep, but pouted his lips and cried out in a crying voice.
"Mom, mom."
"Hey, mom is here, mom is here."
Looking at her son who lacked a sense of security, Lin Yunxi's eyes reddened slightly, and she could not take care of the work in the kitchen at this moment.
She took off her shoes, lay on her side on the bed, held her son in her arms and comforted him softly.
"Mom is with you, go to sleep."
After experiencing an extremely unreal morning, Lin Yunxi was tired and she slowly closed her eyes.
Time passed unknowingly, and Lin Yunxi felt an itch on his face.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Yanyan stretching out his fingers and gently poking her face.
"Ah!" When Gu Jiayan saw his mother wake up, he quickly put away his fingers and opened his big innocent eyes.
"You little rascal, disturbing your mother's sleep." Lin Yunxi threw her son onto the bed and tickled his itch spots.
Gu Jiayan laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "No, no."
After Lin Yunxi finished her "revenge", she pretended to be vicious and asked: "Will you dare to do it again next time?"
Gu Jiayan shook his head quickly, fearing that his mother would change her mind and tickle him again.
After the mother and son played in the bedroom for a while, Lin Yunxi carried Yanyan to the yard to wash up.
"Baby, do you want to go play with your brothers?" she asked.
Gu Jiayan leaned in her mother's arms, her face full of resistance: "No, brother doesn't want to play."
Hearing his son say this, Lin Yunxi didn't find it strange at all. Older children generally don't want to play with children younger than themselves.
"Brother doesn't want to play, then mommy will play with our baby, okay?"
"Okay." After spending the afternoon together, Gu Jiayan had already let down his guard against his mother, and he said in a baby voice.
It’s not a good idea to leave the vegetable garden in the yard idle, so Lin Yunxi plans to grow some vegetables that the family often eats.
This would explain the source of the vegetables in the space and avoid arousing suspicion. Also, she was indeed embarrassed to pick vegetables from Gu's mother's vegetable garden.
Lin Yunxi got to work right away. He took a hoe and began to clear the weeds in the field and loosen the soil with a rake. While working, Lin Yunxi kept an eye on his son.
Gu Jiayan sat on a small stool under the eaves, holding a big red apple in his hand and chewing it bit by bit with his tiny teeth.
Seeing Lin Yunxi looking at him, Gu Jiayan trotted over and considerately fed the apple in his hand to her mother's mouth.
Lin Yunxi took a bite and said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh, the apples our baby feeds are the sweetest."
Gu Jiayan was so amused that he kept giggling. In just a moment, his little face was sunburned red and his hair was sweaty.
Lin Yunxi kissed his little face and said distressedly, "Go sit under the eaves, mom will be fine in a while."
Hearing this, Gu Jiayan obediently climbed onto the stool and sat down, with his little feet dangling in the air and dangling happily.
Looking at such a lovely scene, Lin Yunxi instantly felt less tired and her waist was no longer sore.
Next, she took out some optimized seeds from the space, sprinkled them evenly on the field, and finally watered them with spiritual spring water.
After tidying up the vegetable garden, Lin Yunxi went to the well, washed his hands, took out a tomato and started eating.
The space is sweet and sour, full of juice, and one bite will make your mouth water. Modern artificially ripened tomatoes can't compare to this.
The sun is not so strong at around four or five in the afternoon, and a breeze blows, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling.
Lin Yunxi had an idea in her mind. She stood up and waved her hand: "Baby, let's do something big."
She turned around, avoiding Gu Jiayan's gaze, took out two traps, and then the two of them came to a pond full of aquatic plants at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yunxi put a piece of pork liver that had been soaked in spiritual spring water into the trap, put them in the water, and marked them.
Yes, she came to catch crayfish.
In the original owner's memory, crayfish were very common in the countryside, and were everywhere in ponds, paddy fields, and small ditches.
But people here never eat it. On the one hand, people in the countryside generally did not have enough food at that time, and what people always wanted was food to fill their stomachs.
What's more, the small fish and shrimps in the river can be eaten as a snack, but they cannot be used as a staple food.
On the other hand, without the modern variety of seasonings and cooking methods, the fish and shrimp cooked would not taste delicious, so few people were willing to waste time and seasonings to make them.
Therefore, the most common use of crayfish is to catch them, chop them up and feed them to the chickens and ducks at home. In addition to reducing the amount of food needed, it can also increase the probability of the chickens and ducks laying eggs.
But in Lin Yunxi's opinion, this is absolutely a waste of food. You know, in modern times, crayfish has become an indispensable delicacy at night market barbecue stalls, and a midnight snack without crayfish is soulless.
Half an hour later, Lin Yunxi fished the trap out of the water and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the ground trap was packed with crayfish, and there were a few outside the cage waving their claws and trying hard to squeeze in.
It is undeniable that this is all thanks to the spiritual spring water. The spiritual energy in it has an inexplicable attraction to animals.
"Mom, mom, look." Gu Jiayan was also stunned, pointing at the trap beside her and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mom is awesome, right?" Lin Yunxi looked proud and waited for her son's praise.
In just half a day, Lin Yunxi has already occupied a large place in Gu Jiayan's heart.
He made no secret of his admiration for his mother. He blinked his big round eyes and imitated his mother's tone of voice.
The little face was full of seriousness, and he praised in a milky voice: "Mom is great, Zhui is great~."
"Thank you, baby."
After laughing happily, Lin Yunxi began to put the crayfish into the backpack. In addition to the crayfish, seven or eight wild yellow thorn fish were also mixed into the ground trap.
This is good stuff. Regular consumption of yellow thorn fish can promote intellectual development, enhance the body's immunity, prevent anemia and regulate blood pressure.
In addition, the yellow thorn fish has tender meat and no small bones, making it very suitable for children and the elderly.
