Chapter 120 Grilled Fish

After lunch, the team that went to the river to fish did not include Liu's father. Liu's father and Liu Erjiang went up the mountain together. Only Liu Xinghe and Liu Sanchuan, brother and sister, and Cheng Yunxiao went to the river to fish.

The three of them avoided some people and walked towards the river outside the team with their own tools in a low-key manner.

When Liu Xinghe arrived at the place, he only saw a patch of grass by the river with many plump Houttuynia cordata, which was particularly conspicuous.

There were also many Houttuynia cordata that had just emerged not long ago and were still in the state of red and purple buds. Some places that had been dug had a lot of new buds.

Liu Xinghe was so excited by the large patches of Houttuynia cordata that he rushed over with a hoe.

"Wow, this is too much. I can't dig all the cloth bags I brought with me. I can only dig the big roots that look good today."

Liu Xinghe was very excited. He squatted down and started to dig with a hoe.

"Little sister, you dig first. We will help you dig after we get the fishing rod ready." Liu Sanchuan put down the small stool and prepared the fishing rod.

Cheng Yunxiao was squatting down, pinching fish bait and feeding the fish nest. He pointed to the area above and said, "There are a lot of fat Polygonum multiflorum behind that tree. I'll take you there later."

"No, you guys should focus on fishing. I still want to eat fish. Don't worry about me. I'll dig it myself. There are so many Polygonum multiflorum that I can't dig them all. I can't dig them all. Haha."

Liu Xinghe waved her hand to refuse, and

buried her head in digging happily. She continued to dig down one by one, and she was the happiest when she kept digging for a long time. When she was a child, she once dug Polygonum multiflorum on the edge of a field and broke the edge of someone else's field. She was chased home and scolded. When she left, her parents gave her a meal of "stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat" and beat her butt. She still remembers it vividly.

Now when digging by the river, there is no need to worry about breaking the riverbank, which is simply impossible. She wants to dig the longest Houttuynia cordata.

"Okay, let's go fishing. Call us if you need anything."

Cheng Yunxiao looked at the seasoning in the bag and turned to speed up. He had to catch a fish quickly so that he could grill it here.

After waiting for the fishing rod to be put away, Liu Sanchuan ran to the small woods behind with great interest.

"Brother Yunxiao, little sister, I'll go move some stones over and find some dry firewood. It's too cold by the river. Let's roast some sweet potatoes and potatoes to warm it up."

"Run slowly, there's no rush." ​​Liu Xinghe shouted and continued to do his own thing.

Cheng Yunxiao was already sitting there concentrating on fishing. When Liu Sanchuan lit the fire, the float just dropped down and caught a crucian carp as big as three fingers.

"Oh, Brother Yunxiao, you are really fast. You have already caught a fish. Let me do it." Liu Sanchuan put down the fire stick and ran over excitedly to take the fish off the hook. He took out a knife to cut the fish and remove the scales. After that, he took out a bottle of water he brought with him to rinse it clean, took out a handful of bamboo sticks, put them on the sticks and started grilling the fish.

Liu Xinghe took out a handful of washed Houttuynia cordata and ran over: "Third brother, stuff some Houttuynia cordata in the fish's belly, it will make it more fragrant."

"Okay, stuff more." Liu Sanchuan turned the fish's belly over and stuffed a large bunch of Houttuynia cordata into it. After the belly was full, he sewed the belly shut with a bamboo stick: "Today I am mainly responsible for roasting things, you can eat it however you want."

"Spread more chili powder." Liu Xinghe took a fire poker and dug out the potatoes and sweet potatoes buried under the fire: "Hey, the small potatoes are ready, we can eat them."

"Come on, eat potatoes."

Liu Xinghe took out all the small potatoes inside, took out a small piece of banana leaf, wrapped them, and placed it in the middle of the three people so that everyone could get them.

She couldn't wait to take a small potato and peel it. The slightly burnt aroma hit her nose. She bit into it without fear of being burned. The potato was small, so she ate it in one bite: "Roasted potatoes are so fragrant."

Liu Sanchuan and Cheng Yunxiao followed closely and took a potato to eat. They could also eat it with chili powder. The three of them were very happy eating in the wild. Liu Xinghe didn't even go to dig up the water chestnuts. The afternoon was a long time. There was no rush. It was important to eat now.

When the fish was roasted, sprinkled with salt, chili powder, and Sichuan pepper powder, the fragrance filled the air. Fortunately, the weather was cold and no one was willing to go out. There was no one else besides them by the river, otherwise it would inevitably attract people.

The three of them shared the fish and ate it. Liu Xinghe ate the meaty part in the middle with satisfaction under the humility of Cheng Yunxiao and Liu Sanchuan.

Although they had lunch before going out and had fish for lunch, the taste of grilling fish caught in the river in the wild was completely different. It was very novel and exciting. After eating a fish, the three of them were completely greedy.

Liu Xinghe looked at the person who was the most important to whether they could eat fish, with full of expectation: "Yunxiao, keep fishing, it depends on you to eat grilled fish."

"Brother, it depends on you." Liu Sanchuan looked at him in the same way.

"Leave it to me, leave the fish to me, you guys eat some potatoes or sweet potatoes first." Cheng Yunxiao was now full of energy, looking ahead seriously, looking forward to the next fish coming soon. Just at this time, the fish float moved, "Here it comes."

The three of them were excited, and three pairs of eyes stared at the fish float on the river surface slowly rising and falling.

Suddenly, there was a rapid downward pull and then a swallowing and spitting, which made the hearts of the brother and sister Liu Xinghe and Liu Sanchuan who were watching nearby float up and down. At the moment when the float swallowed and spitted back upward, Cheng Yunxiao lifted the fishing rod, and a crucian carp as big as a palm was pulled out of the water.

Liu Xinghe was looking at the fish in the air above the lake with a face full of delight, but at the same time she was worried that the fish would fall before being pulled ashore. Her heart was lifted up along with the fish, and only when the fish was securely caught in Liu Sanchuan's hand did her heart settle down. She let out a breath, and squatted down beside her third brother with joy to watch him cut the fish: "This fish is really fat, enough for each of us to have several bites. Yunxiao is really good at fishing."

Hearing this, Cheng Yunxiao said happily, "Wait for me to fish again."

Then, as if a switch was turned on, the fish were caught one by one. As soon as this one was grilled, the next one came. The speed was quite fast, and the three of them never let go of smiles.

After grilling three fish in a row, all the fish caught later were put into the fish basket.

Liu Xinghe also sat by the fire and grilled fish with Liu Sanchuan. She was willing to add ingredients, and brushed rapeseed oil and seasonings for free. The taste of the grilled fish was really good, and the smell made people hungry.

"Wow, little sister, why is the fish you grilled so fragrant? It must be delicious." Liu Sanchuan couldn't help licking his lips and swallowing his saliva.

"Yes, it smells so good, it makes me drool." Cheng Yunxiao, who was holding the fishing rod, nodded in agreement.

"It smells good, right? You brushed the ingredients well. Brother, you take the one in my hand first. All you need to do is sprinkle some green onions on it. I'll brush the ingredients on the remaining two fish. We can eat them right away. Wait a minute."

Liu Xinghe was so happy to be praised that he had more energy to work. His hands became faster to spread the ingredients, and three fragrant grilled fish were ready.

Liu Xinghe gave each of the brothers a piece of the fish in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Let's eat fish."

"Okay." The two brothers shouted in unison, and the three of them took the fish and started to eat.

Liu Sanchuan buried his head in the food and said: "It smells

so good." "It's delicious." Cheng Yunxiao kept talking.

"Hmm." Liu Xinghe had no time to talk, he just ate the fish.

The aroma of the grilled fish drifted away with the wind and was smelled by Li Xiaoxia who was wandering outside the fishing team. She was still hesitating whether to join the team, but now she smelled the smell and was so greedy that she was directly attracted by the smell and walked in the direction of the smell.
