Their family had saved up some larger pickled fish, and now that they hadn't finished eating them, Lin Shucheng lent the fish basket to someone else.
In the evening, Jiang Yun cooked the fish herself, adding all the ingredients, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. It was a pity that there was no iron pot outside the farm, so the fish could only be cooked in a clay pot, which lacked the flavor of stir-frying in an iron pot.
Lin Jinyue whispered, "Why didn't you remind me at that time? It would have been much more convenient to take out the iron pot from the farm."
Lin Shucheng also whispered: "How heavy it must be. You will have to carry all the lighter food. What if you don't grow taller?"
Lin Jinyue smacked her lips and had to give up.
If she wanted to eat braised fish in the future, she would still have to go to the space and use an iron pot. Lin Jinyue felt that the farm's golden finger was really a blessing to her family. She was given a laying hen, an iron pot, and land for farming. If she had bought these in ancient times, it would have cost at least ten taels of silver.
Lin Jinyue and her family enjoyed the meal with relish.
Jiang Yun also asked: "Is my cooking better or Aunt Li's cooking better?"
The family had a strong desire to eat: "Of course it's delicious because of what mom made."
Jiang Yun was very satisfied, and said to Lin Jinyue, "Yueyue, don't count on your father's cooking skills. Didn't you like to come up with those recipes for Aunt Li to make? Otherwise, you can write one and I will study it later. We definitely can't afford to hire someone in the future, so we have to cook it ourselves."
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Okay, I'll write it later. Fortunately, we have the system mall. We can work hard to upgrade and don't have to worry about not having enough seasoning."
The family was thinking about future plans, from braised fish to 108 ways of cooking fish. Lin Jinyue began to drool. There was no other way, the things that could be eaten everywhere in her previous life, in ancient times, it was difficult to get the seasonings together.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Lin Jinyue was ready to take a quick rest and go to the farm to work and upgrade as soon as possible.
A woman in the team screamed sharply:
"Miao Miao, don't scare me, what's wrong with you——"
Lin Jinyue and her family hurried over to see what was going on, and saw that Wang's little daughter was rolling her eyes and twitching all over. Everyone around her was frightened and didn't dare to go over.
Lin Jinyue looked at Jiang Yun, "Mom, this looks like poisoning?"
Jiang Yun nodded, took a step forward, and asked someone to hold Wang Miao down. Then she took his pulse and looked at his tongue.
The Wang family members were very worried: "What happened to Miaomiao?"
Jiang Yun frowned: "Poisoned, did you give her anything to eat? It doesn't look like she was bitten by a poisonous insect."
The Wang family was panicked for a moment. What could they eat?
Apart from the wild fruits that can be eaten on the mountain, there are black beans, pine needles, and brown rice. How could it cause poisoning?
At this time, the third daughter-in-law of the Wang family seemed to have reacted, and was somewhat afraid to look at her mother-in-law, "I, I exchanged a fish with Liu the butcher, and when I saw Miaomiao was craving for meat, I secretly cooked it for her..."
Under normal circumstances, the Wang family would definitely scold their daughter-in-law for daring to eat alone with their daughter.
But because of the news of Wang Miao's death, everyone was in a hurry and had no time to take care of it.
Jiang Yun then went to check the fish that she had not finished eating. Sure enough, it was a toxin-carrying catfish. The meat was non-toxic, but the internal organs and roe were highly toxic. Eating it could cause vomiting and diarrhea at the mildest, and paralysis at the worst. Looking at Wang Miao's condition, it was already very serious.
Jiang Yun first fed her a pill to induce vomiting, and then began to look for medicinal herbs on the side.
The first, second and third wives of the Wang family all had sons, and only the third wife had a daughter. The two elders doted on their grandson the most. Mrs. Wang immediately scolded Chen: "The child doesn't understand, don't you understand either?"
Wang Laosan also scolded the greedy girl: "This dead girl is very greedy, wait and see, I will beat her up!"
Seeing that a family ethics drama was about to begin, Lin Jinyue said hurriedly, "Hey, don't blame Sister Miaomiao. The further south we go, the more rivers and lakes there are, and the more fish there are. I have to tell you which fish you can't eat."
One by one, their attention was diverted.
Seeing that Miaomiao's condition improved a lot after Jiang Yun gave her emetic medicine, Lin Jinyue asked the villagers to borrow fish and explained to them one by one which fish can be eaten and how to handle which fish.
Everyone listened very carefully.
In fact, it is rare to encounter poisonous fish. Even if it is poisonous, the toxins are generally in the internal organs. As long as the internal organs are removed and the fish is cooked, basically 99% of the danger can be avoided.
But food is scarce nowadays, and no one is willing to throw away anything edible.
Fortunately, only Wang Miao took it, otherwise the medicine on Jiang Yun would be useless.
Lin Jinyue told them a lot of things to pay attention to when cooking fish, especially the processing methods of fish which were a bit trivial. This group of people were illiterate and could not use paper and pen to take notes.
Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, Lin Jinyue said that when they caught fish in the future, she could help identify them to avoid poisoning and delaying the trip.
The whole group felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, they left with Lin Jinyue's family.
If he went alone, he wouldn't know how he died. At this moment, everyone felt that Lin Jinyue's family was not simple.
They couldn't help but sigh that scholars are really powerful. Although Lin Jinyue is only eight years old, she has read some books with her grandfather and brother, which makes her different from the villagers.
In this group of people, there were a few who thought Lin Jinyue was too young and always interfered with her affairs.
Although they didn't say it, they were indeed a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
But after listening to Lin Jinyue's detailed description of the fish just now, I changed my opinion of this eight-year-old girl and no longer dared to look down on her as before.

The group continued to move forward.
Ten days later, they arrived in Runan County, which was probably the Anhui area in their previous life.
The group didn't know the way, so they headed for a remote area in the woods. Unexpectedly, they almost walked into the Ru'nan County Official Village by accident. Fortunately, there were many woods nearby and no one else noticed them.
They changed their mind temporarily and returned to the forest.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, some people could not hold on any longer.
"Wait a minute, look for some more fruit. I really can't do it anymore."
"I haven't had any water for two days..."
Before the woman could finish her words, she collapsed weakly, her lips turned pale and dry, she was extremely thirsty.
Lin Jinyue and his companions could have reached Runan County earlier, but who knew that there was basically no drinkable water along the way, and they had to rely on the rainwater they had collected and the fruits in the forest.
I don't know why, this area is clearly under the jurisdiction of Prince Jing. Logically, there should be no war and everyone is safe. Food prices have risen, but it is definitely not too outrageous. It is not necessary for every household to come to the mountains to find food. Otherwise, life would be so difficult that they would definitely have to flee the famine.
But there are few fruits even on the mountain here.
Lin Jinyue subconsciously felt that something was wrong here.
