Chapter 26: Crab roe rice is so delicious!
"That's great! With these, we can grow crops!" Lin Muyi straightened his back and shouted loudly.
Lin Wuyu stretched out his slightly trembling hand and gently stroked the plump white grains of rice.
The rice grains rolling in the palm of your hand make you feel very grounded.
"You came just in time! It solved our urgent need."
He murmured to himself, his eyes full of relief and emotion.
"Aunt Zhang, please don't make rice porridge today! Let's cook some rice so everyone can satisfy their cravings!"
As soon as these words fell, the crowd exploded.
"Great! I've been looking forward to this day!"
"Finally, I can eat real rice!"
Lin Wuyu stood aside, a smile on his lips, and warmth in the fine lines around his eyes.
"After we finish eating, we'll start sowing seeds. From now on, every meal will be filled with this delicious rice!"
Everyone was talking at once, with uncontrollable joy in their eyes and eyebrows.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, the rice will be put in the pot right away. It will be ready soon!"
After saying that, she took a few nimble women and carried the rice bags to the simple stove that had been carefully built with stones just yesterday.
Smoke from the cooking stove rose up, and soon the rich aroma of rice wafted into the air.
For the Lin family, who had not tasted rice for a long time, the aroma was even more tempting than the Manchu-Han banquet.
What's more, it is served with freshly picked wild vegetables, which makes people salivate just by looking at them.
Aunt Zhang brought bowls of steaming, fragrant rice and handed them to everyone.
Everyone took the bowl and started chewing impatiently.
Lin Xiyan sat in the corner, and while no one was paying attention, she quietly scooped out a few spoonfuls of crab roe from the small ceramic jar in the space and mixed it into the rice.
The orange-red crab roe wrapped in the crystal rice grains instantly adds a lot of color to this bowl of rice.
The rich and fresh aroma blends with the light fragrance of rice. Just one sniff and you will feel the overflowing fragrance.
She lightly picked up the wooden spoon, scooped up a full spoonful and put it into her mouth.
At that moment, the soft and glutinous rice and the fresh aroma of crab roe burst into life on the tip of the tongue, and the mellow taste surged over. The two intertwined and lingered, penetrating the taste buds.
Lin Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly in satisfaction, with an intoxicated and comfortable look in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"My little greedy cat feels really bad. He used to eat all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but today he is so satisfied with just rice."
Lin Muyi looked at Lin Xiyan with self-blame and walked over.
Then he scooped out half of the rice in the bowl, intending to give it to his sister.
Unexpectedly, the rice didn't fall, and he saw the orange-yellow thing in Lin Xiyan's bowl.
Lin Xiyan raised her head, the crab roe was still stuck on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that it was Lin Muyi, he smiled awkwardly: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Xier, what are you eating?"
He snatched Lin Xiyan's bowl and sniffed it: "Why does this smell like crab roe?"
He put some on his hand and licked it lightly.
Oh my goodness! This tastes so good!
It’s even more fragrant than the roast chicken a few days ago!
"Xi'er, tell me the truth! Where did you get this?"
He looked at Lin Xiyan with shining eyes.
Seeing Lin Muyi's persistence, she didn't want to pretend anymore and pulled him to the corner.
"Brother, don't blink."
Lin Muyi just watched as a small clay pot appeared out of thin air in his sister's hand.
“This…this…this…”
He looked at Lin Xiyan in shock and stuttered.
Then he took the pottery jar she handed him and opened it.
Such a fragrant aroma!
"This! It's crab roe..." He looked at the pottery jar in disbelief.
"Don't just stand there, eat! You look like you've never seen the world before."
Lin Xiyan put a large spoonful of crab roe into Lin Muyi's bowl.
Unexpectedly, Lin Muyi was not as eager to taste the crab roe sauce as she had expected.
Instead, he looked at her with a hint of worry and fear: "Xi'er! How could this thing appear out of nowhere? Is it a monster?"
What's going on in this brother's mind all day?
Lin Xiyan had no choice but to put him off, and then looked at Lin Muyi with an unfathomable expression.
"Don't panic, sister... by chance, I learned a unique secret technique. On the day of the house raid, I put all the things in the house into a magic bag. This is the crab roe sauce made in our kitchen. Come and try it."
"Really?! Then I can eat it without worry."
Lin Muyi mentally paralyzed himself several times before he believed in this secret method. Nothing was more important than eating.
After saying that, he mixed the crab roe sauce and savored it carefully.
"Immortal product~Immortal product~"
"Remember to take me with you when you eat next time!" He licked the empty bowl with satisfaction.
It’s really disappointing that my sister had this good thing but didn’t give it to me earlier. I will eat up all the food I didn’t get before.
Lin Wuyu came over after finishing his meal. He stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and walked to Lin Xiyan's side with his usual doting and care.
"Xi'er, stay in the camp with your mother. Your brother and I are going to plant crops."
His slender fingers gently touched the top of her hair and stroked it lightly.
Lin Xiyan raised her head with sparkling eyes, and responded sweetly and softly, "Okay, Daddy, please be careful!"
But even though the little mouth said this, the little brain was already rapidly calculating how to sneak into the city without anyone noticing.
Mrs. Lin was sitting with Aunt Zhang and other women, chatting excitedly.
"There are a lot of wild garlic and onions by the stream not far away."
"We'll pick some later and plant them in our camp. We'll have them handy for cooking later. It'll be very convenient."
Mrs. Lin's eyes were shining.
"OK."
"I remember there are many kinds of wild vegetables by the stream, and they are very fresh. Let's pick them together. We can use them to cook with rice, and we can also dry them and store them for emergency use." Aunt Zhang continued.
As Mrs. Lin spoke, she turned around and whispered to Lin Xiyan:
"Xi'er, mother will be back soon. Don't run around, okay?"
Lin Xiyan jumped closer, took hold of her mother's clothes with both hands and said coquettishly:
"Mom, please pick more vegetables. Xier likes them."
Then she said sweetly, "Mom, Brother Mo Yu and I will go cut some grass for Niu Niu to eat."
Anyone who sees her sweet and sensible appearance will feel pity for her.
"Okay, Mo Yu, take good care of your sister."
Mrs. Lin raised her eyes to look at Jiang Moyu who was standing quietly beside her, her eyes filled with trust and entrustment.
Jiang Moyu nodded heavily after hearing this.
After saying that, Jiang Moyu naturally reached out his hand, held Lin Xiyan's hand firmly, and the two walked towards the stream.
Along the way, Jiang Moyu saw the overgrown weeds on the roadside and quickly pushed them aside, fearing that the sharp leaves would scratch her delicate skin.
"Brother Mo Yu, let's not go mow the grass."
Halfway through the journey, Lin Xiyan suddenly stopped, grabbed Jiang Moyu with her small hands, turned around, and pulled him straight towards the camp.
He kept urging, "Let's go into the city, quickly!"
Jiang Moyu's body froze, his face full of confusion and his brows slightly furrowed.
"Why are you going into the city?" Jiang Moyu paused, his face full of confusion and his brows slightly furrowed.
