Seeing that there were suddenly several kilograms of loaches and a lot of mushrooms at home, Chen Xuanxuan asked them to quickly gut the fish. The gallbladder and internal organs of the fish were all thrown away.

If there were any fish roe or fish bladders, they would be kept.

Knowing that Chen Xuanxuan wanted to stew all the fish in one pot today, Yu, who was always very frugal, hesitated and said, "Wife, don't we keep these fish?"

Chen Xuanxuan laughed and said, "What should we keep?"

"There are ten people in our family. Ten big mouths can't eat these!"

"Plus, in a few days, you will all have to go to the fields to loosen the soil and fertilize, weed and kill insects. How can you not have a few full meals if you are around the fields every day? Mom, don't nag. Let's stew these things in one pot today, and we will still have food tomorrow!"

Seeing that Chen Xuanxuan was getting impatient, Gu Yu'an quickly pulled Yu, "We all listen to our daughter-in-law."

"Wife, don't be so stubborn."

After pulling Yu out of the house, they began to use a kitchen knife with several notches on it and a hatchet specially used for chopping wood to carefully cut the fish. There

were more than 20 loaches of various sizes, weighing several kilograms.

After removing the internal organs, they still looked quite a lot.

After Chen Xuanxuan washed them twice with clean water, she put all the fish into the pottery pot. After randomly stir-frying them a few times, she simmered them over low heat.

Feeling that this was not enough, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and told her family, "I plan to make these duck eggs into salted duck eggs. You should have no problem with that, right?"

Knowing Chen Xuanxuan's plan, Gu Yu'an and Yu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's make salted duck eggs."

Salted duck eggs are a rare delicacy for poor country people.

During the New Year, if someone has a salted duck egg with a yellow core and oozing juice in their bowl, that person will be happy all day.

After marinating the salted duck eggs in a pot, Chen Xuanxuan returned to the stove room.

At this time, Gu Yanzhang was feeding several children with hot water that Chen Xuanxuan had already prepared.

"Wife, I plan to take my parents and children to the riverside later."

Chen Xuanxuan did not respond in a hurry. "Forget it. You got so many good things from the river beach today. I think the people in Gujiagang should have seen it..."

Gu Yanzhang didn't quite understand what she meant. "Wife, if they saw it, they saw it. Anyway, the upper reaches of our Xiaoyue River don't belong to any of them."

"Wife, I think we should seize the time and go more often. Otherwise, if those people in our village go, there will be nothing good left on the river beach."

After hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Their family is still too poor. If they can get more fish back, it will be great.

"Okay..., in that case, you must eat well later."

"Although it is still spring now, there will be a few cold snaps soon. While the northwest cold wind has not returned, we should still stock up more food at home."

Gu Yanzhang nodded several times and said, "I think so too."

Seeing that Gu Yanzhang was eager to show his skills immediately, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and took out the sack she brought back from her mother's house.

This sack is earthy brown.

It was used by her mother's family to store food.

There is quite a lot of space inside. The quality is also very good. It is durable and suitable for storing things.

"Take this sack."

"When you get to the beach, if you see those wild duck eggs again, use this to put them in."

"As for those backpacks, when the time comes, you can cut some wild grass and put it underneath. If you catch any fish, just kill them right there and throw them here. If you have a lot of harvest, cut some more wild grass to cover all the good stuff, don't let anyone see it."

Hearing Chen Xuanxuan say this, Gu Yanzhang nodded seriously. "Wife, I remember everything you said."

After taking the sack, he stuffed it into his chest.

Their whole family sat by the stove and roasted the fire. After roasting for about half an hour, the fish in the earthenware pot were all cooked.

These fish were all cooked with hot pot ingredients.

Very, very delicious.

Gu Yanzhang, his parents, and the six children they had never eaten hot pot in their lives.

Now, eating this for the first time, they all felt very surprised.

"Wife, today's fish is so delicious! There is no fishy smell at all. The meat is delicious, the soup is delicious, but it is a little spicy."

Gu Yanzhang ate three bowls in a row, and he felt sweating all over his body.

The whole family ate two whole pots of hot pot fish, and they all felt very happy.

Especially the elderly Gu Yu'an and his wife Yu Xiangxiang, their mouths were full of oil at this time.

Gu Yu'an even said to Yu Xiangxiang with a smile in front of the whole family, "Xiangxiang, the food cooked by our daughter-in-law is really delicious..."

After Yu Xiangxiang drank a sip of hot soup, she nodded heavily, "It's really delicious."

"Every morning when I get up, I start to think about the food cooked by my daughter-in-law. With my daughter-in-law here, we two old guys can enjoy such a good meal..."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang, who was still chewing loach meat, couldn't help but look at Chen Xuanxuan and said, "My daughter-in-law is really capable."

"Just this cooking skill, you can't find it in ten or eight villages!"

Seeing that they all started to compliment her, Chen Xuanxuan still felt guilty.

How can she be good at cooking?

This is clearly the good development of the food industry now.

The hot pot base is ready-made. It's

all made by someone else.

If you want to eat hot pot, just buy a pack. It's very convenient.

Thinking of her past life, it was so beautiful. Now life is so miserable, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but sigh, and then began to change the subject, "We have eaten such a hot meal, and we have expelled all the moisture in our bodies."

"Later, you will take a hot bath. Rest for a while, and then go to the river beach upstream. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Gu Yanzhang turned to look at his parents and said, "Dad and Mom, I think my wife's idea is good. Later, let's wipe our bodies with hot water, so that our bodies will feel more comfortable..."

Gu Yu'an and Yu Xiangxiang heard it, and they immediately accepted Chen Xuanxuan's kindness. "Okay, let's do this."
