Du Yuhan and her team caught a variety of fish this time, including crucian carp, common carp, silver carp, and snakehead.
After lunch and a short rest, Du Yuhan selected several large fish, choosing the middle section and removing the bones, before having Liu Gang chop them into minced meat.
Place the minced meat in a small bowl, add an appropriate amount of water, salt, and scallion and ginger juice, and stir in one direction. Once it becomes somewhat sticky, add egg white, starch, etc., and continue stirring. Then, squeeze it into fish balls and put them into a pot of cold water to cook until boiling.
Du Yuhan plans to make a fish ball soup with these fish balls tonight.
Du Yuhan shaved off a few more blackfish to prepare boiled fish and sauerkraut fish.
Knowing that Du Yuhan was going to cook a lot of delicious food that evening, Han Yixian asked Yuan Qiwen to go back to the Yuan family home in the evening to invite his aunt and uncle to come over for dinner. If Yuan Qiliang was home, he should also invite them over.
Invite Yao to come and have dinner with her.
Upon hearing that the Yuan and Yao families were coming for dinner, Du Yuhan naturally prepared a feast. She made various kinds of fish, including boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, and a fish ball soup. In addition, she prepared some other dishes.
Du Yuhan has already harvested several batches of chives grown in wooden boxes in the east and west rooms. Thanks to the well water in Du Yuhan's space, they grew very well even in winter.
Du Yuhan dared not water the chives too much, only occasionally watering them with diluted well water from the space, to prevent the chives from growing too fast and arousing suspicion.
The chives were ready to eat again, so Du Yuhan used scissors to cut some chives from a wooden box and made chive and egg stir-fry, which was a rather fresh dish in winter.
Du Yuhan even cut some of the garlic sprouts growing in her house with scissors to make braised radish.
I soaked some dried wood ear mushrooms and made a stir-fried wood ear mushroom dish with vinegar.
Raw mung bean sprouts are also edible; stir-fried mung bean sprouts are a good dish.
One more dish of sweet and sour spicy cabbage would be enough.
In winter, it gets dark early; it's almost dark before five o'clock.
Yuan Qiwen went to invite the people who came to dinner, while Liu Gang stayed at home helping Du Yuhan with the cooking.
Just as Du Yuhan's table of dishes was almost ready, the Yuan family and Yao Jingsong and his wife arrived.
Yao Jingsong was worried that too many people would disturb Han Yixian, so he didn't let his children come. He felt at ease letting his grandparents, who had children at home, take care of them.
Yuan Qiliang happened to be home today, and when he learned that his cousin was treating him to dinner, he certainly couldn't miss it.
When the Yuan family and Yao Jingsong and his wife entered the house, they were all surprised to see a large table of dishes laid out on the dining table in the living room.
I don't even know what day it is today, why did you make so many dishes?
When Han Yi saw that his aunt's family and Uncle Yao and his wife had arrived, he said, "Aunt, Uncle, Uncle Yao, Aunt Yao, please take your seats. The dishes are almost all served."
Yuan Qiwen didn't say anything to surprise his parents and older brother, only saying that his cousin was treating everyone to dinner. So everyone was very curious when they saw such a sumptuous meal.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Yuan Fengshan asked, "Yixian, what day is it today? Why is it so lavish?"
Han Yixian said, "I'm just passing on what I've learned. Today, Qiwen and the others went to the river not far away to break the ice and catch a lot of fish. I thought I'd take this opportunity to treat everyone to a meal."
I've caused my aunt and uncle, and Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao a lot of trouble this past year. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude over this meal. Aunt and uncle, Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao, please take your seats.
Yuan Fengshan said, "We're all family, there's no need for thanks."
Yao Jingsong also said, "That's right, we're all family, no need for you to thank us. As long as you're doing well, anything we do is worth it."
Yuan Fengshan said, "I heard from your aunt that you are planning to become a teacher in the future? You can still go back to your old workplace if you want."
Yao Jingsong also said, "Yes, even if you have difficulty moving around, you can still do the work you used to do."
Han Yixian said, "I don't have any specific ideas yet. I want to take another year or two to recuperate before considering what kind of work to do."
Yuan Fengshan nodded and said, "With your abilities and intelligence, you won't have to worry about work even if you're in a wheelchair. There are plenty of people who want to recruit you from the past. Those who think you'll fade into obscurity because of your mobility issues are short-sighted."
However, it's true that you should take some time to recuperate. You've worried and worked hard because of family responsibilities in the past, and you've even been injured a few times. It would be best to take this opportunity to properly recover your health.
It's not too late to think about work after you've fully recovered. I believe you can achieve great things in any field.
Once the serious business was over, everyone started asking Yuan Qiwen and his friends about catching fish.
Everyone was amazed when Yuan Qiwen recounted the fish-catching process. Yao Jingsong, in particular, thought that these guys were really capable of getting things done, managing to catch so many fish from the river in the dead of winter.
It's not that no one has ever tried to catch fish in the river before, but since it's a flowing river, very few people can actually catch fish in the dead of winter, and even if they do, they can only catch a few. That's why not many people try to catch fish in the river during the winter.
These people are really lucky to have made such a big profit.
Du Yuhan brought a dish into the house, greeted the elders, and told them to eat first. Then she went back to the kitchen. There was only one last dish left to finish.
Several elders didn't wait for Du Yuhan to sit down before starting to eat; instead, Han Yixian first invited them to eat. He knew they would be drinking first that day.
He asked Yuan Qiwen to bring out the wine he had bought before. He knew that his uncle and Uncle Yao were both fond of wine, and such a good meal wouldn't be complete without it.
Han Yixian also introduced the dishes Du Yuhan had prepared to the elders. The boiled fish and sauerkraut fish were highly praised by everyone.
