Chapter 63: Ginseng Fish Soup After

returning to the brigade, Su Mo went to Lu's house first. She didn't see anyone at home outside. Su Mo went into the yard and called a few times before she heard Lu Boming's voice coming from his room.

"Xiao Mo, there's no one else at home except me. What's the matter?"

"I just went to the commune. Xiaolan asked me to bring something back for you." Su Mo responded.

"That child is thoughtful. Please bring it in for me." Lu Boming said, and coughed a few times after he finished speaking.

"Okay." Su Mo responded, and then took out the net bag that Lu Xiaolan used to put things in from the sack, and put five or six white pears in it under the cover.

The weather was dry at this time, and Lu Boming was coughing again. Eating some white pears was just right to moisten his throat.

Su Mo carried some things and entered Lu Boming's room.

The room was very clean, without the usual mess of an old man. Lu Boming was sitting on the kang with his clothes on.

"Grandpa, Xiaolan asked me to bring you two bags of milk powder and two cans of yellow peaches. I bought these pears. They look fresh. I'll give them to you to moisten your throat."

Su Mo said, putting the things on the desk beside the kang. Seeing that Lu Boming was still coughing, she quickly handed him the enamel jug of water on the table.

After Lu Boming drank the water to relieve the cough, his coughing stopped a little.

"Thank you for being so thoughtful. You are all good kids. Grandpa is old, so don't waste this money in the future." He could sense that he didn't have much time left.

"Grandpa, don't say that." Su Mo felt a little sad. She could feel that the old man's vitality was weaker than before.

It was a pity that her supernatural power could not cure him, and she was powerless.

But watching a respectable old senior approach the end of his life made her feel a little frustrated.

Suddenly, Su Mo thought of the wild ginseng that was at least several decades old, and she didn't know if it would be useful to him.

Su Mo decided to transfer more supernatural power to the wild ginseng after returning to make it contain more vitality, and then ask the doctor. If there was no problem, she would give the wild ginseng to Lu Boying to eat.

Lu Boying smiled calmly, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal, don't be sad."

"Your mother told me that you are very good, you keep the house in order, grow vegetables well, and harvest a lot of mountain products in the mountains. Xiaomo, it is a blessing for Changzheng to marry you."

Su Mo hurriedly said, "It is also my blessing to marry Changzheng." If someone praises you, you must not praise your grandson.

"You two should live a good life. Changzheng is a successful and sentimental boy. If he recognizes someone, he will definitely be sincere. I can see that he is absolutely sincere to you."

Su Mo smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Yes! We will be fine."

Although they only knew each other for a few days, Lu Changzheng was really good to her.

She is just that kind of person. Whoever treats her well, she will treat him better. Lu Changzheng treats her well, so she will treat him well too, and is willing to help him take care of the three elderly people at home. Lu Boming

nodded. He likes the third grandson the most among the three grandsons in the family. He also likes the third grandson's wife the most among the three grandsons' wives.

"You go and do your work. You don't have to accompany an old man like me." Lu Boming waved his hand, and then he started coughing again.

"Or I can help you lie down, you will feel better."

Lu Boming waved his hand, "No, I'll sit for a while. It's uncomfortable to lie down all day. You go and do your work. Don't worry about me."

Su Mo added some hot water to the enamel pot that Lu Boming drank water from, and then left.

After returning home, Su Mo put the things she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative into the space, and then packed the dried walnuts and chestnuts into sacks. One sack of chestnuts, two sacks of walnuts, one sack of pine nuts, and half a sack of hazel mushrooms and wild vegetables each.

After putting them in bags, their presence came out, and it looked like there were quite a lot of them, and it really felt like a good harvest. When the ones drying on the ground dried, they could still fill another sack. When the shelves arrived, they were all put away.

After finishing all this, Su Mo went to the vegetable field again and transferred some superpowers to the vegetables in each field, so that they would grow lushly, but not too exaggerated.

Afterwards, she transferred superpowers to three wild ginsengs, paying special attention to the old one, and stopped only when the superpowers were used up.

After finishing, Su Mo took out the newly bought coarse cloth from the living room, and began to cut it according to the size of Su Tingqian measured in the morning. Then she took out the remaining floral cotton cloth and cut the lining.

After cutting, she used a sewing machine to sew the surface of the coarse cloth and the lining of the floral cloth together.

After finishing, it was getting late, so Su Mo put away the pieces of clothing and prepared to cook first, and then spread the cotton in the evening.

Just as Su Mo was preparing to cook, a voice came from outside the yard, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you home?"

Su Mo went out and saw a young wife with a bulging belly and a fish in her hand, standing outside the yard gate.

Seeing Su Mo coming out, the young wife smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I am Long Xiumei, the wife of Lu Guoping. He went down to the river to catch some fish today and asked me to bring one to you to taste." After saying that, she raised the fish tied with a straw rope in her hand.

"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed." Su Mo hurried to open the gate and let Long Xiumei in.

It was given by someone with good intentions, so Su Mo would naturally not be tactless and say no.

Long Xiumei handed the fish to Su Mo and said with a smile: "Brother Changzheng usually takes good care of Guoping, and we don't have anything good. This fish was just caught, it's very fresh, sister-in-law will cook it tonight."

"Okay." Su Mo took it and said with a smile, "Thank you two, I have meat to eat tonight. Come, sit in the house for a while."

"No, sister-in-law, I have to go back to cook." Long Xiumei waved her hand and was about to go out.

Su Mo saw that she was pregnant and estimated that she didn't go to harvest, so she said: "Xiumei, wait for me for a while."

After that, she hurried back to the house, took a straw basket filled with chestnuts and walnuts, and took it out to Long Xiumei.

"I don't have anything. I went up the mountain these days and picked up some mountain products. You can take them back and try them."

Long Xiumei waved her hands repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, you can't do that. You should keep them for yourself." She even took a few steps back, and Su Mo was so scared that she quickly supported her.

"Be careful with your belly. It looks quite big. How many months is it?"

"Seven months." Long Xiumei said, with a maternal glow on her face.

Su Mo stuffed the straw basket into Long Xiumei's hands and said, "It's okay. I can eat your fish, so why can't you eat these mountain products of mine? Or do you dislike them?"

After hearing what Su Mo said, Long Xiumei picked up the straw basket, "Why would I dislike them? These chestnuts and walnuts are good things."

These two things are hot commodities, and everyone is eyeing them. Every year, each family can only pick up a few.

"Glad that you don't mind, you can take them home and eat them." Su Mo said with a smile.

Long Xiumei was also happy. After saying goodbye to Su Mo, she left happily with the straw basket.

Before she came, she was afraid that Su Mo came from a big city and had a good family background, so she would look down on them, the country people. Unexpectedly, they get along so well. Guo Ping was right. The people chosen by Brother Changzheng were all good.

After Long Xiumei left, Su Mo sighed. Well, there were only three straw baskets in the family, and she gave them all away. It seems that I have to find someone to weave a few straw baskets, or just learn how to weave them myself in the future.

These straw baskets are all made of wheat stalks, which are strong and durable.

Su Mo picked up the fish that Long Xiumei had sent over, estimating it to be about two kilograms, and quickly carried it to the well, killed it with a knife, cut it into several pieces, and cleaned it.

She planned to stew the fish meat with some green onions and ginger in soy sauce, and she planned to make fish soup with the fish head and tail.

Su Mo first lit the small stove, took out the pot she used in the last days, added oil and fried the fish head and tail until both sides were golden brown, then added ginger, dripped a few drops of cooking wine to stir-fry, and then added cold water, boiled it over high heat, and let it simmer slowly.

Thinking of Lu Boying's body, Su Mo went back to the room, thinking of digging two ginseng whiskers to put in.

Because she didn't know what amount was appropriate, Su Mo didn't dare to use the old one. She dug up the soil from one of the four-leaf stalks and got two small whiskers off. After washing it, she threw it into the fish soup to cook together.

Then she started another big pot to cook the braised fish.

When the fish soup was boiled to a milky white color, Su Mo added some coriander to remove the fishy smell. After it boiled, she poured a bowl for herself and put the rest into a clay pot to send to Lu Boying later.

When the braised fish was ready, Su Mo filled a pot, carried a backpack, turned on the flashlight, and went to Lu's house to deliver it.

When Su Mo arrived, the three old people were preparing to have dinner. Su Mo saw that there was only a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a pot of corn porridge on the table, so she quickly put down the basket.

"Guoping's wife sent me a fish in the evening. I made some fish soup and stewed fish, and sent some to you to try."

"You can eat the fish yourself. We ate all the fish. What do you eat?" Li Yue'e's affection for Su Mo was really increasing every day.

"I have more. The fish is not small. I can't finish it all by myself." Su Mo smiled and took out the earthenware jar and basin from the basket and put them on the table.

"Drink more of this fish soup, it's good for your health." Su Mo said, and then she left with the basket.

Lu Boying's cough was due to physical weakness, not the cold cough in later generations, so eating fish was not a problem.

Seeing Su Mo leaving in a hurry, Lu Bo Ming said to the two of them, "Xiao Mo is a good person. Chang Zheng is not at home, so you two should be nice to her."

The two of them nodded quickly.

Su Mo's cooking skills are beyond doubt. The three of them ate everything cleanly. Lu Qing'an drank four bowls of the clay pot of fish soup, and even Lu Bo Ming, who originally had no appetite, drank two bowls.

When he went to bed at night, Lu Bo Ming felt as if his body was not so heavy, and he slept more soundly than before.

Lu Qing'an felt a little irritated, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Looking at his wife beside him, he reached out his hand.

But Li Yue'e slapped him away, "What do you want to do? You are old, but you are still not serious."

Lu Qing'an said embarrassedly, "I don't know why, but I just feel particularly dry."

Li Yue'e: ...

Wild ginseng is a good thing for replenishing vitality. Although it is only ginseng whiskers, its effect is not weak. As

for the fish soup, Lu Boming is weak and has no problem drinking it. Su Mo and Li Yue'e are women, so they have no problem drinking it.

But Lu Qing'an, although he is in his early fifties, is still strong and healthy. He drinks a lot, so naturally he feels a little dry.
