"How is it, what do you think of my cooking skills, Sister Qingqing?" Yi Qingqing raised her chin.

"Good!" A child was still eating and gave her a thumbs up.

Another child said: "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, better than candy!"

"We are so stupid. Loaches are so delicious. They are really precious!"

"Sister Qingqing is amazing, this loach is not bitter at all, it smells so good!"

"It tastes better than anything my mom, my aunt, my sister, and my grandma make!"

Even Tiger Boy, who was always stubborn and reluctant to give praise, nodded and agreed with his friend's point of view.

Yi Qingqing felt quite happy listening to the first part, but at the end, there were always a few people who liked to put down their own elders when praising her.

If those people he mentioned heard this, they would probably be in big trouble.

But I have to say, it feels good to be praised.

She was surrounded by the children's praises and admiring gazes. She felt refreshed, relaxed, and a little bit proud. She was so excited.

After all, children are the most honest and will not lie. Even if they can lie, they will not lie to her at this time.

She worked so hard to make the stir-fried loach, not only to satisfy her own appetite, but also for this moment!

These are the Boy Scouts she conquered with her skills. From now on, they will be her spies and soldiers in the team.

If you need their help with anything, just use some delicious food and they will be able to do it easily.

Moreover, this group of little kids may be the smartest and most well-behaved among the several groups of children in the team. With Tiger Wa as their leader, it makes people feel much more at ease.

Yi Qingqing saw several children open the paper packages, carefully take out one from inside, take a small bite, and then put it in their mouths to suck on it like candy. Among them was Zhao Xiaoya.

I asked them, "This tastes better if you chew it, why don't you chew it?"

"It's great. Although you gave me so much, Sister Qingqing, I still want to eat it slowly. This way I can eat slower and taste more flavors," said Zhao Xiaoya.

Some of them slowly finished one and asked Yi Qingqing: "Sister Qingqing, can I take it home so that my parents can have a taste?"

Before Yi Qingqing could say anything, Hu Wa said, "No, this is a secret between us! If you take it back to your parents, what if they don't allow us to continue? If everyone knows that loaches are so delicious, we won't be able to have the loaches in the ** anymore."

"Okay," the child said aggrievedly.

"..." Yi Qingqing rubbed Hu Wa's shaved head, "Little kid, don't think too much. Loaches are not easy to make. Do you know how much oil and work I have wasted to make this taste? We can't eat all the loaches in the **. Even if you catch them and want me to cook them, I can't make so many by myself. I don't have that much oil to make them. It's the same for others.

So if you want to take it back and share it with your family, I won’t stop you. If there are people in your family who want to learn how I do it, you can come and ask me tomorrow.

But I have to make it clear that I only accept loaches from you little kids. Our deal remains unchanged, and I only need so many loaches for a period of time. The amount I got yesterday is enough for me to eat two or three more times. If you have time today, you can help me catch another bucket while you are not working. I don’t know when the next time will be.”

Hu Wa thought he was being very secretive, but how could he possibly hide it?

There are so many children here. It might be okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too often, they will definitely be discovered.

It is better to be generous. After all, you have not done anything wrong. Any other villager would think that exchanging raw loaches for fried loach strips or sugar is a great deal.

All I have to do is to avoid the possibility that some adults will feel that it is profitable and come to her to sell loaches at the same price.

After all, she just wanted to get some for herself and give these cute and sensible children a little sweetness, not to wholesale loaches at a loss.

She prefers to get along with these children rather than trading with her fellow villagers.

Moreover, she is kind to children and has some sense, and parents with a conscience will be kind and grateful to her.

As for those who have no conscience, there is no need to expect to gain their favor. Small favors are useless, they need to bleed hard. Although Yi Qingqing is generous, she is not the kind of person who will suffer from it.

Hu Wa was worried that by the time everyone knew that loaches were delicious, it would be impossible for all the loaches in the reed beds to be snatched away.

In the eyes of children, the easily available loaches are particularly delicious if cooked this way. Once others learn how to cook them, it is no longer their turn.

But when someone comes to ask her how she makes it, they’ll find out that it’s delicious because of the abundant ingredients and the careful processing.

Perhaps this processing method can make the loaches everyone makes taste better in the future, but it would cost a lot to reach her level. I'm afraid there are not many families in the village who have the ability and are willing to do so.

If you only learn her processing method and then use the common stewing method with less oil, the product may not be bitter, but it will not have any oil or water.

It doesn't even have the deliciousness of fish stew.

It takes so much time to process the loach. Wouldn't it be more convenient to use this time to catch two fish? There's more meat!

There is no shortage of fish on the riverbank and in the reed beds.

Otherwise, why do people say that Xiangshui Village is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers?

"It took a lot of oil to make it so delicious? Aren't you losing money?" Hu Wa asked after hearing this.

Section 84

Yi Qingqing shook her head: "What I gave you is only a part of the loaches you brought over yesterday. The rest is my reward. I think it's worth exchanging with you, so it's not a loss."

Hu Wa glanced at her and wanted to say something, but when he looked at the loach in his hand and his friends drooling, he did not refuse.

"Okay, let's continue our deal. We don't want sugar anymore. I'll bring you another big bucket this evening. You just need to give us this much loach strips. You can come to me next time you want more."

"Deal," Yiqingqing and Huwa high-fived each other, and the agreement was reached.

"Okay, you guys have fun by yourselves. I'm going to the mountain to collect firewood." Yi Qingqing said as she carried the backpack back.

"Sister Qingqing, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Yi Qingqing didn't look back, but just waved at them.
