Chapter 7: A Great Dinner



Chapter 7: A Great Dinner

"Well, so we must live well now and wait for Big Brother to take us away from this deserted island!"

The second aunt of the Su family said with a firm look in her eyes, and then she sniffed, "Acheng, your fish is burnt!"

"ah!"

When Uncle Su saw it, he hurriedly picked up the grilled fish to check it, "Uh, it seems to be a little burnt..."

He looked guilty, "What should I do? Xiao A-Qian and the others won't be able to eat when they come back!"

Aunt Su was helpless. "Forget it. Go clean the clams in the barrel and let's cook them! It's been more than half an hour and the sand has been spit out almost completely! It's a pity to waste the grilled fish."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The second uncle of the Su family stood up from the stone and prepared to go to the sea with the wooden barrel.

Su Qian and his friends, who had just returned with a great harvest, saw the burnt fish on the ground and immediately understood what had happened.

"Dad, I'll go with you!"

Su He quickly put the sea bass into the wooden barrel, and walked towards the sea with the iron pot.

Su's second uncle quickly followed.

Su Qian looked at the clams in his pocket and sighed, "This guy is still a little short of something!"

Now they only have a pot and a large wooden barrel, which is not enough to hold much stuff.

"Little Ah Qian, is it too heavy? Come, just put it on this big rock!"

The second aunt of the Su family asked Su Qian and Su Xi to put the things in the clothes on the big stone, "We can put them in and keep them when they bring the wooden barrel back! Then let Ah Cheng go to the island again to see if he can find something useful!"

Looking at the various conches and groupers that Su Xi took out from the hem of her clothes, Su Qian felt like she seemed to have forgotten something!

That’s right!

Her jade pendant space!

It would be really stupid of me to have such a big space for a jade pendant and not use it!

Su Qian had an idea, and put more than half of the clams in her clothes into the space of the jade pendant. The remaining two kilograms of clams, she put together with Su Xi's.

The time in the jade pendant space is static. Whatever you put in, it will be the same as what you take out.

Soon, Su's second uncle came back with an iron pot of clean clams and sea water, and Su He also brought a large bucket of sea water.

There was still some red residual heat in the stove. Uncle Su stuffed a few branches in it and fiddled with it a few times, and the flames began to burn fiercely.

Before long, the aroma of fresh clam meat wafted out of the iron pot.

The smell made the already hungry people swallow their saliva unconsciously.

During these days of exile, they mostly drank wild vegetable porridge. But that stuff was mostly water, and they didn't care if they were full. When they were extremely hungry, they even pulled up grass roots on the roadside to eat.

As for eating meat, it seems like the same thing as in the previous life!

Now, smelling the aroma of meat in the iron pot, even the twin brother and sister couldn't sit still, and they approached the second uncle of the Su family who was burning the fire, with a little saliva on the corners of their mouths.

Seeing this, Uncle Su continued to cook for a while, wiped his right hand on his clothes a few times, and carefully took out two clams from the pot and handed them to the two siblings, "Be careful, it's hot!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Su Mu and Su Yi hid their hands in their sleeves and held the still steaming clams with the cloth on their cuffs. After saying thank you, they carefully returned to Gu Luyun's side.

The cooked clams are easy to open. After the heat dissipated a little, the two of them carefully held the clams in their hands, opened the shells, and revealed the clam meat inside.

“Smells so good!”

Su Yi sniffed it lightly, then gave everyone a shy smile and began to taste the food in her hand.

While Su Mu and his sister were eating the clams in their hands, Su's second uncle wrapped the sides of the iron pot with his sleeves, then poured out the boiled water and placed it on the wide stone.

"Are you all hungry? Come and eat!"

The second uncle of the Su family called everyone over, and soon the eight people each found a suitable stone to use as a stool, sat around the iron pot on the stone, and started cooking.

Since there were no cutlery, everyone just let go of their inhibitions and picked up the cooked clams in the iron pot with their hands and started eating.

Probably because they are cooked with seawater, the clams have a light salty taste and are very delicious in the mouth.

The aroma of the clams also lured out the greedy people from House No. 10 next door and the nearby Su clan members. Unfortunately, some of them didn't have iron pots or anything like that, so they could only eat the clams raw!

Although it is raw, it tastes extremely delicious.

Su Qian looked over from a distance and shook her head slightly. As a time traveler, she was not used to eating raw food. After all, in her world, people always said that seafood could not be eaten raw because it had parasites.

However, when a person is starving to death, he or she can even eat grass roots raw, so why would he or she care about such a tiny parasite?

Soon, a large iron pot of clams was eaten up by everyone!

Looking at the pile of clam shells on the rocks, Aunt Su said to her husband, "Ah Cheng, take these empty shells in a pot and find a remote place to bury them! I see that most people on this deserted island are barefoot, so you don't want to scratch others."

"Yeah, I know!"

The second uncle of the Su family nodded slightly and began to clean up the aftermath of the meal.

Su Qian wanted to help, but was stopped by the second aunt of the Su family, "Qian, don't do these jobs. You are weak, take a rest first! Let your second uncle and others do these jobs!"

Helpless Su Qian had to sit back and watched Su's second uncle and Su He carrying a large wooden barrel and an iron pot walking out of the rock.

"Ah Qian, you're not well yet. You just picked up a lot of things. You must be tired! My aunt and I have found some dry leaves to cover the stone house. Why don't you go in and take a rest?"

Gu Luyun on the side spoke softly to Su Qian.

"No, I'm much better now."

Su Qian shook her head gently, "Mom, people need to exercise more to be healthy. If I had learned some martial arts from Dad, I would have been stronger. Look at my younger brother Ah He, his strength is not inferior to that of my second uncle."

"Well..." Gu Luyun had a trace of inexplicable guilt on her face, "Actually, you are weak... At the beginning, your father also mentioned that you should follow him to learn martial arts, but mother couldn't bear to let you go."

Su Qian didn't quite understand why she looked guilty, so she could only comfort her, "It's okay, I'm learning martial arts from brother Ah He now. By the way, I've memorized all the boxing moves in my father's study!"

In the original body's memory, she liked her father, General Su, very much. When she was a child, she often went into her father's study and liked to read his military books when she had nothing to do.

Therefore, Su Qian used this as an excuse to justify his exercise.
