"I'm hungry." Peng Sandiao said softly.
"Well, I'm hungry too. Let's make something delicious."
"Leulou~" Peng Sandiao bit his lip and stretched out a small soy sauce-colored finger towards the smoked bacon on the table.
"I'll make some bacon for the three of them tomorrow. Let's eat fish today, okay?" The bacon must be served with white rice, but there is no rice at home at the moment.
"Okay." Peng Sandiao nodded obediently.
"San Tiao is so good." Zhang Siyu rubbed the little guy, stood up to hang up the bacon, put the canned food into the snack jar, and then pushed open the kitchen door to let the air circulate.
The gate opened and a glimpse of the vast expanse of blue-green waters appeared in the distance. At this moment, the sky was blue, the water was also blue, the water and the sky were the same color, like a huge sapphire.
Zhang Siyu was instantly attracted by the blue sky and blue sea. The comfortable breeze blew gently over her, dispelling much of her worries about supporting her family.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. She has hands and feet, strong adaptability, and if she works hard, she will never starve to death.
Moreover, Peng Aiqing has made some contributions to the country. The authorities have taken Cheng Zhenzhu's special situation into consideration and give her an eight yuan subsidy every month.
In 1969, 8 yuan was not a small amount.
------Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully traveling through time and space. The sea-based system has been activated and bound. Do you want to explore?
The "Live by the Sea" system helps the host obtain various resources from the sea. The system will occasionally present tasks, and completing the corresponding tasks (optional) will drop generous rewards.
Zhang Siyu was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a strange voice in her head, and then a light curtain appeared out of thin air in front of her.
The words on the screen were colorful, but the meaning was easy to understand. She activated a system and completed the corresponding tasks to receive random rewards.
It wasn't like she didn't know everything. She had read some novels before and knew the magical effects of cheat codes like the system. Just as she was about to explore it, she heard the little guy in her arms whisper, "Liang, San Tiao is hungry~"
------"Host, there is a generous gift package for beginners!"
"Let's make something to eat right away." Zhang Siyu touched the little guy's head, and without caring about whether it was a system or not, she quickly went back to the kitchen to cook.
"Hey, host, don't go~~~~" Xiao Qi shouted for a while, but found that he was still offline and mute...
It's hard to have four hands, and it's hard to cook with a child in your arms. Zhang Siyu washed her hands and brought a small chair to talk to the clingy little one in her arms, "San Tiao, sit here, I'll kill some fish for you."
Peng Sandiao looked at the chair without saying a word.
"The fish I cooked is delicious. Do you want to eat it?" Zhang Siyu carried the little guy to sit on a small chair, holding his hand and talking to him.
"I want to." Peng San Tiao looked at Zhang Siyu with his big round eyes, and his thin little face was indescribably well-behaved. "Liang do it."
"Then let go, okay? I'm going to kill the fish."
"good."
"So good." Zhang Siyu smiled and rewarded the little guy with a pat on the head.
Peng San Tiao's eyes sparkled, his hands were placed obediently on his knees, and he sat upright.
Zhang Siyu washed the sweet potato leaves and prepared to fillet the fish. Before doing so, she sharpened the dull knife she had at home.
"Mom, Yu Yu, kill it." Peng San Tiao pointed at the wooden barrel, his soft voice carrying some urging tone.
"Right away." Zhang Siyu scooped two big fish into the bucket and threw them onto the chopping board.
The two fish were still wilted after being thrown down, and they didn't struggle much when they saw the knife. She cut them on the back with the knife, and both fish were knocked unconscious.
The three fish were only two years old and timid, so Zhang Siyu didn't kill them in front of them. She turned her back to the little guy and deftly scraped the scales, then gutted the fish.
I don't know what kind of fish it is, but it has very few bones, only one large bone spur running through its head and tail.
Zhang Siyu was a little surprised. She picked out the big fish bones with a knife and then cut the fish into small pieces. She threw away the heads, entrails, and tails of the two fish. She put the fish pieces together in a large bowl. Zhang Siyu sprinkled a little salt into the bowl and mixed them evenly.
She carefully selected half a basin of old sweet potato leaves, taking whatever was not too yellow or too old. These leaves were a real rarity on the island, as other leaves were not easy to grow.
"Get ready to cook! We'll be able to eat in half an hour." Zhang Siyu turned around and said to the little guy, scooping water and washing the pot several times.
In those days, people used firewood, and Zhang Siyu had some experience. She grabbed two handfuls of dry leaves to start the fire, and then added a few more sticks. The fire started immediately.
Seeing smoke rising from the wok, Zhang Siyu quickly added a small spoonful of vegetable oil. There was only a little vegetable oil left at home, though there was some fish oil, but fish tasted better with vegetable oil. As soon as the snow-white fish entered the wok, it sizzled.
Zhang Siyu methodically flipped the fish over. The fried fish pieces were slightly yellow and looked particularly tempting.
Although she didn't add any seasoning to this fried fish except oil and salt, since it was sea fish, it didn't have any fishy smell even without seasoning. The skin was fried crispy in the vegetable oil and was particularly fragrant.
Zhang Siyu took a chopstick and put a piece of meat on San Tiao. "Come on, San Tiao, eat this first."
Peng San Tiao didn't reach out his hand, but blinked his red eyes at Zhang Siyu a few times, "Can you feed me Liang?"
"Mom is also going to fry some sweet potato leaves. If you want to eat San Tiao yourself, I will make fish balls for you tomorrow." Zhang Siyu tempted.
She still can't do without staple food, so she plans to take a boat to the market to buy some tomorrow.
In fact, she had just gone on a shopping spree yesterday, but it seemed like something very far away from her now...
