"agree."
Luo Yingqi hit the nail on the head regarding Maynard and his group's concerns, and therefore, his proposal was passed unanimously.
So, the group parted ways and left in different directions, heading towards the agreed meeting point after leaving their base.
Sang Ning and his companions were completely unaware of all this.
The three men, who were continuing their journey with dozens of ducks, decided to stop for lunch when they reached a mountain river.
I was mainly hungry.
The river was a bit wide, but not deep. The water was very clear, and there were many stones along the riverbank. Sang Ning found small fish and very clean prawns, which are small crabs.
Suning, seeing an opportunity, directed Emmanuel and Elliott to catch small fish and crabs.
Having already eaten large crabs and sea fish, the two weren't very interested in these two little creatures, feeling there wasn't much meat to be had. But since Sang Ning told them to catch them, they obediently did so.
The mountain crabs are hidden under the rocks, so you have to turn them over. The small fish are extremely agile in the water, so they are not easy to catch.
But for Elliott and Emmanuel, it was not a difficult task.
After Yun Yao built stoves with stones and dug firebreaks to prevent fires, the two of them had caught a lot of mountain crabs and small fish, which they wrapped up on large fern leaves.
Seeing this, Sang Ning didn't rush to start a fire. Instead, she took out the memory metal and pulled out a basin to put the crabs and fish in. The mountain crabs were very clean, and all that was needed was to remove the gills and stomach and give them a simple wash.
Small fish are easier to process. The scales are edible, and the scales of large fish can be used to make fish scale jelly. The scales of these small fish are very fine, and it would be quite troublesome to remove them.
Therefore, you don't need to scale these small fish. Just make a small incision in the abdomen, squeeze out the internal organs, and then clean them.
After all the small fish and crabs were cleaned and prepared, Sang Ning took out a bamboo tube of flour, poured some out, added water, oil, salt and other seasonings to make a paste, and then poured the cleaned small fish and crabs that were placed on leaves into the basin in batches, coated them with the batter, and then fried them in oil.
With only one piece of shape memory metal, the pot that can be pulled out is neither too big nor too small, just enough to hold a bamboo tube of oil.
Once the oil temperature was up, Sang Ning first fried the dried anchovies.
The fried dried fish is golden and crispy, with a savory and refreshing taste. If you find the flavor a bit bland, you can dip it in chili sauce.
I also brought chili sauce.
Once the small crabs were fried, Sang Ning put the oil back into the bamboo tube, drained the oil, placed the dried fish and small crabs on the leaves, washed the pot, added water, and boiled three yams that he had dug up on the road. Then he called Elliott and Emmanuel to start eating.
Emmanuel took a small dried fish and popped it into his mouth. He found it tasted good. The dried fish, which had been drained of oil, was fried to a crispy perfection. Even the bones were crispy, and he didn't find any fish bones or scales. The texture was fantastic.
Chew it a few more times and the aftertaste will be even more delicious.
Another mountain crab, its flavor is just as good as the dried anchovies.
"It tastes better than I expected."
Emmanuel commented.
Elliott was busy eating and didn't have time to say anything, but he still grunted in agreement and continued eating.
Sang Ning laughed, "Eat more if you like it. You can come back to get more next time you want some."
The two responded and began to eat attentively.
The three of them sat there like they were having a competition, finishing a small dried fish and then a small crab, focused on being the ones eating their rice, which amused and intrigued the audience.
Many people left comments telling them not to forget about them and to quickly feed them some dried fish and small crabs.
"Sorry, I forgot about you all."
Sang Ning offered a rather insincere apology and then distributed a few dried fish and a few small crabs to the audience.
The audience was absolutely amazed and amazed by what they ate.
A tiny bit of pepper was added to the flour, which was just the right amount of mild spiciness for Sang Ning and the others, but a bit too spicy for Sun Wanqi, who couldn't handle spicy food.
But as stimulating as it may be, it's the kind of stimulation that makes it more and more delicious, more and more appetizing, and more and more addictive.
As she ate, her eyes and lips turned red, and she started sweating on her forehead—it was spicy.
Seeing her like this, Sun Jinming, the younger brother of the Sun family, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, are you serious? Are you so moved by how delicious the food is that your eyes are red?"
Sun Wanqi's lips twitched, and she said irritably, "Can't you speak properly? Am I touched? I'm clearly spicy."
As she spoke, she took two breaths, then picked up her water glass and gulped down most of it before saying helplessly, "I didn't even know I couldn't handle spicy food."
This is just virtual eating; if it were real eating, I'd probably be crying and sniffling the whole time.
Sun Jinming was almost dumbfounded. He stared at her blankly, and said with a somewhat indescribable expression, "You're telling me this level of spiciness is spicy?"
"To be honest, I didn't taste any spiciness at all."
"I can taste it."
Sun Wanqi clapped her hands, stood up and said, "Stop eating, eating virtually is no fun, let's eat in real life."
How do we eat it in real life?
Sun Jinming stood up, filled with anticipation for the meal.
The key to the problem lies in—
"Where can we buy dried fish and small crabs? I admit the online store is fast, but not fast enough to have them in stock right now."
"Are you stupid? There's a nature reserve right behind our yard, with mountains and water. I've seen these little fish and crabs in the mountains," Sun Wanqi said irritably. "I've told you not to spend all day hanging around on the StarNet..."
"It's not fooling around."
Sun Jinming didn't like hearing this, and he retorted, "I clearly learned knitting on the StarNet."
"...You're learning knitting?"
Sun Wanqi asked in disbelief, "You're not going to continue the mecha training?"
"Sure, but that won't stop me from learning to knit."
Sun Jinming chuckled, quite pleased with himself, and said, "Sister, the teacher praised me for having a talent for knitting. I've almost mastered it. Wait for me."
"Once I've mastered it, I'll weave a few exquisite little flower baskets for you, each one a work of art, and place them in your room for you to arrange your flowers. That way, you won't have to envy Tang Dou Dou's bamboo flower baskets."
"good."
Sun Wanqi was naturally pleased that her younger brother had this idea, but said, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and grab the things so we can go catch some small fish and crabs to cook."
The flower baskets were nowhere to be seen for a while, but the small fish and mountain crabs were readily available once caught.
The most urgent thing is to get it done and have something to eat, instead of wasting time here on a small flower basket that doesn't even exist.
Faced with the choice between satisfying her appetite and the yet-to-be-realized flower basket, Sun Wanqi unhesitatingly chose satisfying her appetite.
"OK."
Sun Jinming responded and quickly ran to the kitchen to get a collapsible bucket.
Then, the siblings set off with high spirits and great determination.
Before they even reached their destination, a bunch of people followed them. They were all people who had been virtually eating dried fish and mountain crabs, but felt increasingly empty and decided to rely on themselves in real life.
