Chapter 45: Drink Snake Soup Next Time



Tian Chengcheng: “…”

Screw your uncle’s last gasp.

She really wants to hit someone!

What kind of barefoot doctor is this?

He was so frightened and yet he wasn't beaten to death!

Tian Hengyuan took it seriously and was so scared that his face turned pale. He ran back holding Tian Chengcheng.

"Uncle..." Tian Chengcheng wanted to persuade him to slow down, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

I can't tell Tian Hengyuan that the old lady got better after drinking spring water.

She looked at Tian Fuhua, and Tian Fuhua was also looking at her and winking at her.

Tian Chengcheng just pretended not to understand.

What should she do? She always felt that this barefoot doctor was a charlatan.

Tian Hengyuan hugged Tian Chengcheng and rushed home. Before he even entered the house, he shouted, "Mom——"

That little tremor was filled with fear.

When they reached the door, Tian Hengyuan put Tian Chengcheng down and told Fu Xinhan, "Hanhan, look after Fubao. The two of you don't come in yet."

Fu Xinhan nodded and pulled Tian Chengcheng aside.

"It's okay." Tian Chengcheng said.

"Yeah." Fu Xinhan nodded, full of trust.

Soon, the old lady's anxious voice came from the room, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

She glanced behind Tian Hengyuan and didn't see the two children. Her heart skipped a beat. She grabbed her son's arm and asked tremblingly, "Did something happen to Fubao? Or Hanhan?"

Tian Hengyuan was stunned by the old lady's question and didn't even have time to wipe away his tears.

Seeing his expression, the old lady pushed him aside anxiously and tried to get off the kang. "Take me to see. How could something happen to a healthy child after just one trip?"

"Mom, mom - it's okay, Fubao and Hanhan are fine." Tian Hengyuan finally came to his senses and wiped his sleeves hurriedly.

"Then why are you crying?"

"I--" Tian Hengyuan stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

You can't say that Fuhua said she had a last burst of energy and he cried out of anxiety.

Outside the door, Tian Fuhua came late.

The small steps were so steady that Tian Chengcheng wanted to spill the beans.

"Fubao, did you enjoy it just now?" Tian Fuhua walked up to Tian Chengcheng and wanted to tease her.

Tian Chengcheng looked at him with big eyes, neither understanding nor not understanding.

"Thank you for the purple potion."

"You're quite thoughtful. Okay, uncle won't tease you anymore. Let's go in and see grandma." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tian Fuhua didn't ask any more questions and took the lead into the house.

Tian Hengyuan was still explaining to the old lady, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tian Fuhua come in, "Brother Fuhua, you are finally here, come and see my mother."

Tian Fuhua greeted the old lady and said, "Auntie, let me take a look at you. You look much better now."

The old lady nodded, and when she saw Tian Chengcheng and Fu Xinhan, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then started chatting with Tian Fuhua.

"Much better. Thanks to Fubao, I've been eating well these past few days. I feel more energetic and better."

Tian Fuhua placed his hand on the old lady's pulse and felt it for a while. "Auntie, you are blessed! But you can't be careless about your health. Find time to go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup. Don't worry."

"Hey, I'm poor but strong-willed. I won't waste that money." The old lady smiled and waved towards Tian Chengcheng, "Fubao, are you okay?"

"Grandma, I'm fine."

Tian Chengcheng smiled obediently, revealing a row of small white teeth.

The old lady liked it more and more. "I'm glad you're alright. Come on up to the kang and ask your uncle to stew the fish. We'll have fish soup for lunch."

"Grandma, I'll go help." Tian Chengcheng insisted on helping.

Those are two big grass carps, and if they are not handled properly, they will have a strong fishy smell.

Fu Xinhan also went to help.

"Mom, I'm going to stew the fish. Brother Fuhua, why don't you stay and drink the fish soup? Fubao just caught two fish. Let's—"

"Okay, then I'll give you an extra pair of chopsticks so I can share in Fubao's blessings."

Tian Hengyuan was interrupted before he could finish his words. He laughed dryly and went to help.

Tian Chengcheng felt more and more that Tian Fuhua was a charlatan who not only could act, but also could eat and drink for free.

"Fubao, I've cleaned the fish." Tian Hengyuan said, "You guys go to the kang, I can do it."

"Uncle, you have to remove the fishy smell from freshwater fish, otherwise the stewed fish will have an earthy smell." Tian Chengcheng took a kitchen knife and slapped the grass carp.

"Fishy line?" Tian Hengyuan looked confused.

"Yes, right here."

Tian Chengcheng slapped the whole fish repeatedly, cut a knife at the tail and under the head, then found a thin white line from the tail, slapped it and pulled it out, and the whole line was pulled out.

"This is the fishy thread." Tian Chengcheng held up the fishy thread and showed it to them, then handed the kitchen knife to Tian Hengyuan. "Uncle, there's one on the other side too. Try pulling it out tentatively, otherwise it will break."

"good."

Tian Hengyuan took the kitchen knife and pulled out the fishy line on the other side according to Tian Chengcheng's method.

"My uncle is so smart." Tian Chengcheng said happily.

Tian Hengyuan couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He doesn't even know the fishy line, how can he be smart?

Fu Xinhan glanced at Tian Chengcheng silently and found that she knew a lot of things and was very powerful.

Remove the fishy lines from both fish, Tian Chengcheng fillets the fish into slices, heats the oil, adds a few slices of ginger and minced garlic, stir-fries until fragrant, then puts the fish in, slightly overcooks it, adds a bottle of hot water, and then adds a few small pieces of green onion, star anise, peppercorns, and salt, covers the pot and simmers over high heat.

After five minutes, open the lid of the pot and the rich aroma of fish will waft into the air.

Tian Chengcheng quickly took out the seasonings and threw them into the stove to cook. Then she took out the fish, along with the fresh white thick soup, a whole bowl.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Tian Fuhua ran over to see and couldn't help swallowing.
