His worries about running out of food in the future lessened.
Erwa went inside to look after Sanwa.
Yin Lan prepared the three fish herself.
There was no other way. If it were a chicken, Da Wa had seen others kill it before, so he knew how to handle it and could give it a try.
The child had never even eaten fish.
For some reason, there are very few fish in the river in Tiejian Village, and the people here don't eat fish much.
Therefore, Yin Lan could only rely on her memory to process the information. When she had no other choice, she searched for information in the system and unexpectedly found a video section.
Wow, she secretly followed the images in her mind to learn, then tried to do it herself, and when she finally finished, it looked pretty good.
A small fish is used to make soup.
The remaining two strips were used for baking.
After heating the pot, Yin Lan added a little lard. Once the oil was hot, she added some wild ginger. The aroma of oil and ginger filled the air. Then she put the whole fish in.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
The aroma of the fried fish was simply irresistible.
Erwa cried out from inside, "Mom, what are you doing? I'm going to die from the smell!"
Yin Lan also heard the sound of the eldest child beside her swallowing.
After the fish was fried until both sides were golden brown and slightly charred, Yin Lan scooped it out of the pan.
There was still a little oil left in the pan, which shouldn't be wasted. I used it to stir-fry some wild vegetables. Since the oil had already absorbed the aroma of the fish, the wild vegetables would taste many times more fragrant than if I had just used oil directly.
As for whether it will be unhealthy, maybe, probably.
But in this era of severe scarcity, these are not issues that people can consider; having enough to eat is the most important thing.
A plate of fragrant stir-fried wild vegetables is ready. The eldest child never knew that wild vegetables could be so delicious!
Then Yin Lan poured water into the pot, put the fish in, added some wild ginger, and that was all the other seasonings she didn't need.
Let the fish soup simmer.
Yin Lan then skewered the other two prepared fish and grilled them over the fire below.
Erwa had already come out of the inner room. "Sanwa is asleep," he said, then squatted down beside her, his eyes fixed on the fish in the pot and the grilled fish in Yinlan's hand.
The water in the pot boiled, and soon the soup began to turn white, eventually becoming a thick, milky white. The fragrant and rich fish soup was simply irresistible.
The grilled fish in Yin Lan's hands also changed. It sizzled and made an appetizing sound, and its surface began to turn golden brown. The aroma it emitted made Erwa's mouth water.
Da Wa looked at his mother, who was moving nimbly, at the house with its sparse smoke, at the rice that was not yet finished in the corner, and at the new winnowing basket and earthenware pot. The aroma at the tip of his nose was more tempting than he had ever smelled in his life. He felt a little dazed, as if everything was so unreal.
It was as if God saw how miserable they were, so He sent a fairy to save them.
My mother is a fairy, she can do everything, she is so good.
Da Wa's eyes silently welled up with tears.
The fish soup, grilled fish, and porridge are all ready.
The three of them sat down and enjoyed their meal.
Grilled fish is naturally not as good as modern fish with all sorts of seasonings. It's just that no seasonings were added, only a little salt was sprinkled on it when it was finally grilled. Also, this fish is a wild fish that grew up in the river, not a modern farmed fish.
Therefore, the fish was very fresh and tender, which brought out its original flavor.
Yin Lan also ate to her heart's content.
The two little ones were constantly busy with their hands and mouths.
"Aunt Yin..."
Just as they were eating, a shout came from outside.
The eldest child was the first to react, "It's Da Hu!"
It turned out that Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu each carried a mud brick for building a stove over.
After returning home in the afternoon, Zhao Dashan started making mud bricks. The stove would need about a dozen or a hundred mud bricks. He didn't rest when he got home and went straight to dig clay and start making mud bricks. He worked non-stop and had already finished almost half of it.
Take some of the ingredients over to dry, and once they're dry, fire them before you can start building the earthen stove.
With a generous and kind-hearted wife, Zhao Dashan was enjoying a very comfortable meal today, so he had to work hard for others.
The family didn't even have a stove; it really didn't look like a proper family.
Once the stove was finished, the thatched hut actually started to look like a home.
Da Hu and Er Hu walked a short distance outside and smelled a rich fragrance floating in the air.
They didn't know what it was; it didn't smell like meat, but it smelled even better than meat.
The mouth unconsciously produces saliva frantically.
"Big Tiger, Little Tiger, come here." Yin Lan took some grilled fish and also gave the two children some milky white fish soup.
“Aunt Yin, Dad told us to carry this over to use for making a stove,” Da Hu said.
Kids these days are really strong; they can carry such heavy things for such a long distance.
It seems that the stove at home will be ready in a few days, and then she won't have to squat on the ground all day to cook, which will strain her old back.
Yin Lan served the two kids some soup, and Da Hu and Er Hu's eyes lit up instantly. What is this? Why is it white? How can it taste so good?
Then he took another bite of fish.
Both kids almost swallowed their tongues whole.
"It's so delicious! It's so good to drink!" The two kids were almost speechless.
When did Aunt Yin's family start eating so well?
Last time it was pork cracklings, and today it's fish. In the past, Da Hu and Er Hu would share the food at home with Da Wa and Er Wa.
I never expected that it would be the eldest child's mother feeding them now.
It's so delicious! They've never eaten anything so good before!
Just then, a head suddenly popped out from the roadside, pitch black, almost startling Yin Lan.
The head slowly moved closer, drool already dripping from the corner of its mouth, "Aunt Yin~"
It turned out to be Tian Youwei.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as Da Wa finished speaking, Tian Youwei snatched the last piece of fish from Er Hu's hand and swallowed it in one gulp without even chewing it.
But the fragrant and crispy taste lingered in my mouth for a long time.
Tian Youwei's eyes were practically gleaming with greed!
Erhu looked at his empty hands. He had been eating very carefully, not wanting to eat even a little more, but in the end, it was all taken away!
Erhu looked like he was about to burst into tears.
"What are you doing? Spit it out!" Seeing his younger brother being bullied, Da Hu immediately went to settle the score with Tian Youwei. Da Wa was also furious and followed suit, ready to fight.
Tian Youwei grinned and rolled up his sleeves. "Come on, I'll get it for you in a couple of days, want some?"
Erhu burst into tears.
Da Hu and Da Wa were furious. They rolled up their sleeves, their faces contorted with rage, and it looked like they were about to fight.
"etc!"
