Chapter 6 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
Lin Cui Niang tried to calm herself down, suppressed her worries, and asked, "Brother Yuan, how did you catch these fish? And this ice... where did you dig it from?"
She had to make sure the fish and ice were there and safe.
It will not affect or harm Brother Yuan.
The couple had lived in a mountain village since childhood. The farthest place they had been to was the town. The most imposing building they had seen was the only restaurant in the town. A neatly dressed waiter was greeting guests at the door.
The two of them didn't even dare to get close, let alone go in to eat.
Everything the couple had heard about non-human beings, mountain spirits, and ghosts was only what they heard from the villagers by chance.
But they still couldn't imagine it.
Bai Yuan felt the couple's confusion and worry and decided to show off his abilities. He blinked slightly, and a light that was incredibly fast flashed again.
The ice in the corner was instantly dragged to my feet.
There was no sound at all.
Bai Yuan squatted down and touched the ice with his short fingers. In an instant, the ice that had not melted all night melted away, revealing several frozen fish.
Then he stretched out his hand a little more.
Several fish were gathered together again, ice grew around them, and finally solidified into square ice blocks.
The five-year-old child had an extremely calm expression when he did all this, with white hair and white eyes, glowing white skin, and this magical method.
It makes people unconsciously think of the ice and snow monsters in the mountains.
The couple were shocked and scared at first, but then they saw Yuan Ge'er raise his head slightly, as if waiting for praise.
The couple immediately calmed down again.
They were in a daze and trying to convince themselves that there was nothing special about Yuan Ge'er's abilities. He just knew how to move things around and melt the ice by ordering fish.
The villagers are afraid of Yuan Ge'er, so how can his parents be afraid of him?
The more Lin Cui Niang thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. She immediately clapped her hands and praised, "Brother Yuan is awesome. We don't have to worry about things going bad in the summer anymore. Don't you agree, husband?"
Lin Cui Niang secretly pinched the dazed Lin Ping An with her hand.
"Hiss - yes." He also imitated Cui Niang and praised: "Brother Yuan is really smart. Dad and mom can't catch fish."
Lin Pingan really thought so in his heart.
Although the river at the foot of the mountain is not wide, it is very deep, and the bottom is full of sharp stones, making it impossible to use fish baskets or fishing nets. Only those who are good at swimming dare to go down and catch fish.
Out of three times, I can only catch it once by chance.
Otherwise, people in the village who can swim can make a living by catching fish.
But Brother Yuan caught so many fish at once and even made ice cubes to keep them fresh...
At this moment, the couple realized what Yuan Ge'er meant when he said yesterday that he was not a human.
I finally understood... why the people in the village were so afraid of disasters and demons. Such methods are something that mortals can never imagine or touch.
After Lin Cui Niang finished praising him, she said cautiously, "However, I am very stingy and don't want more people to snatch Yuan Ge'er away. Don't catch fish in front of anyone in the future, and don't conjure up ice cubes, okay?"
They couldn't let Yuan Ge'er's identity be exposed, but they were also afraid that telling the truth would hurt the child's heart, so they could only use this lie to protect the child.
Bai Yuan looked up, still somewhat puzzled.
The couple's emotions were filled with anxiety, guilt, and a little nervousness, and their heartbeats were much faster than before.
He thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
Lin Cui Niang smiled and continued to praise: "Brother Yuan has worked hard today. Let's cook fish for you today, okay?"
Bai Yuan did not forget the recipe provided by the system. "I'll watch from the side, okay?"
Lin Cui Niang agreed without thinking.
Bai Yuan stretched out his hand again and lightly tapped the ice with his fingertips. Two fish were squeezed out, and the scales on the surface were intact with no signs of damage.
The other fish continued to be sealed in the ice.
The couple was once again shocked by this scene and gasped. Isn’t this too magical?
Lin Cui Niang praised again: "Why is Brother Yuan so amazing?"
Bai Yuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he pretended to be calm and stood up, "I'll help get the fish."
If it were in the past.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An must be reluctant to let their children do any work. When they were at the Zhao family before, as long as the couple were at home, they would not let their children do any work.
But now.
Seeing that Yuan Ge'er didn't smile but had an expression of happiness like a little adult, I couldn't bear to refuse him.
Bai Yuan held the fish in both hands and placed it on the stove easily.
Zhao Ping'an quickly processed the fish with a knife and handed it to Lin Cuiniang after he was done. Then he ran outside and started twisting the hemp rope.
Prepare to reinforce the fence later.
The fence has sharp bamboo sticks every few steps, which can at least prevent some small animals from approaching the house.
While he was working, he listened to Lin Cuiniang's gentle voice in the house. Yuan Ge'er was no longer afraid to speak like before, for fear that he would be bullied by the Zhao family at any time.
His movements gradually slowed down, and anger and hatred arose in his heart again.
He and Cui Niang worked so hard just to make Yuan Ge'er live a better life and grow up safely, but what did his parents and eldest brother's family do?
This kiss, it’s a good break.
He only hated that his ability was too weak to teach his eldest brother and Lin'er a lesson. As for those kids who also pushed Yuan'er, how could he act as if nothing had happened?
Sometimes he really wants to act impulsively.
But once they did that, if these people told others about Yuan Ge'er's existence, some fortune-teller or someone else might come and try to capture Yuan Ge'er.
Bai Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the man in the yard.
"What's wrong with Yuan'er?" Lin Cui Niang looked up in surprise. Her hands were still busy chopping fish and picking out fish bones.
Bai Yuan shook his head and continued to watch Lin Cui Niang cook.
The fish was only frozen for one night, so it still smelled delicious even without any seasoning. But he wanted to try other methods, "Frying this fish in a pan..."
Lin Cui Niang was stunned and a little amused: "Don't cry if it doesn't taste good."
Bai Yuan blinked and nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Cui Niang felt a little sad. Yuan Ge'er had suffered a lot while staying in the Zhao family. He didn't even dare to cry or be willful. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Fortunately, everything is different now.
Bai Yuan followed the tutorial given by the system and guided Lin Cui Niang step by step in cooking. There was sauerkraut in the jar, and the fish was first fried in a pan and then poured with water.
After coming down step by step.
The pot was bubbling with bubbles, and the sour and fragrant smell immediately filled the air, making people's mouths water. Even Zhao Ping'an, who was tying hemp ropes in the yard, couldn't help but come into the house.
“Why does this fish smell so good?”
He looked into the pot and saw white fish meat tumbling in the milky soup, revealing golden sauerkraut, which was delicious in color, aroma and taste.
Zhao Ping'an's eyes widened with shock.
Most of the meals cooked by farmers are not very exquisite.
What we pursue is not how to taste good, but how to combine the cheapest and most filling ingredients and make it enough to feed several people in the family.
Even if it was a small piece of lard, it would only be carefully picked out with chopsticks and mixed into the soup during the wheat harvest, as a meat dish to nourish the body.
Because this is the hardest time of the year.
Before Lin Cui Niang got married, she was in charge of cooking at home, but the food she cooked could only be described as not bad. The incredible combination of sauerkraut and fish smelled so good, it definitely couldn't be bad.
He has never been to the big restaurant in town.
But he believed that the appearance and taste of the fish soup in front of him were definitely not worse than those made by the chef there.
Lin Ping'an still looked surprised: "Cui Niang, how did you think of using pickled cabbage?"
Lin Cui Niang looked dazed: "It was Yuan Ge'er who came up with this idea. I didn't expect it to smell so good."
She originally just thought that Yuan Ge'er had finally decided to do such a thing, so it didn't matter even if the fish soup was not tasty, as the villagers might not even be able to eat it during festivals or the New Year.
But who could have thought it would smell so good.
The couple simultaneously turned their eyes to Yuan Ge'er who was not far from the stove. The little child was sitting obediently on a wooden stool, looking like he couldn't wait to eat the fish.
Their children...seem to be really smart.
Lin Cui Niang and Zhao Ping An couldn't help but feel a little proud in their hearts. Their child was not a disaster star at all. He was so considerate of his parents and knew how to cook delicious food without any instruction.
Better than all the kids in the village.
…
"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."
The fish soup in the pot became more fragrant as it absorbed more juice. The taste of sauerkraut greatly stimulated the taste buds and saliva secretion. When they came out of the Zhao family, they were not only penniless, but they didn't even have coarse flour or grain.
Fortunately, the village chief sent me some sweet potatoes, which I could use as staple food to fill my stomach.
The family of three sat at the small table, staring at the pickled fish in the bowl and drooling. Zhao Pingan picked up a piece of fish and carefully checked whether there were any fish bones, then put it into Bai Yuan's bowl, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Bai Yuan's body doesn't know how to use chopsticks yet, so he can only use a small spoon to scoop the fish meat and put it into his mouth.
The next moment, Bai Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It's delicious."
Food can also be converted into energy.
But in this way, the food you swallow will disappear.
Bai Yuan, who had never been interested in material things and food, chose not to convert energy for the first time. Instead, he swallowed the food like a real human being.
The couple looked at each other, took a deep breath, suppressed their nervousness, each picked up a piece of fish, and tasted it carefully.
The fish meat is cooked a little soft, so there is no need to bite it specifically. The fresh aroma of the fish meat mixed with the sourness and fragrance of the sauerkraut fish creates a more complex taste, which increases the freshness of the fish meat several times.
This was almost the best dish they had ever eaten.
Zhao Ping'an was reluctant to swallow it all, so he finished it bit by bit. Then he turned around and looked at his wife and child who were concentrating on eating meat. His heart felt sour and swollen.
Lin Cui Niang's eyes also turned red, with a happy smile on her lips: "Our lives will get better and better in the future."
Zhao Ping'an nodded: "I will work hard to make money to support my family, and then I will buy pork for Yuan Ge'er to nourish his body."
Bai Yuan raised his head when he heard this.
What is a pig?
The system looked at this heartwarming scene, and felt that the data code had become warm. It called up the appearance of ancient wild boars and domestic pigs. [Host, pigs look like this. Wild boars are large and their meat is a bit hard. Domestic pigs are tastier and have more fat.]
It then quickly displayed various pork dishes.
Bai Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. He clenched his fists slightly and made a quick decision.
——He wants to go to the mountains to catch pigs to eat.
And you have to catch the fattest and biggest ones and take them home.
