After collecting all the fish she wanted, she stood up and shook off the water droplets on her hands and continued to dig shepherd's purse. When she walked to the other side of the lake, she also saw a few clumps of wild onions and a few perilla plants. She dug some wild onions and picked a small handful of perilla leaves to use when cooking the fish.
She dug some shepherd's purse along the lakeside. When she returned to the camp, the rice on the stove was almost cooked. Kang Mingyuan saw that she had brought back shepherd's purse, so he sat next to her and helped her pick it.
"I didn't expect there would be such fresh and tender shepherd's purse in this summer."
"Shepherd's purse is available at all times, but the ones in autumn are older." In Qiao Mo's memory, shepherd's purse can be picked in winter in the south.
"I haven't paid attention to it before, so I don't quite understand it." Kang Mingyuan smiled and said that there are many vegetables in the south, and few people eat wild vegetables. He has never eaten wild vegetables, so he doesn't know what wild vegetables are. He only knew about shepherd's purse today because Qiao Mo told him about it.
"You're a grown man, and you've never picked grass for pigs since you were a child, so it's understandable that you don't know them." Qiao Mo also smiled and said, "The reason I know them is because when I was a child living in Hexi, I often played and picked grass for pigs with the children in the village. Otherwise, I would definitely be as clueless as you."
"Did your family ever raise pigs?" Kang Mingyuan was surprised.
"I didn't feed the pigs, but I fed a few chickens, so I don't have to buy eggs." Qiao Mo shook his head. Qiao Shisong especially doted on his wife and daughter. How could he bear to let them do such hard work as raising pigs?
However, Mu Ling and Qiao Mo were both weak and a child, and they both needed nutrition, so they raised a few chickens in the backyard. Not only could they lay eggs for themselves, but they could also kill the chickens and eat the meat when needed.
"It seems your child is quite happy."
"Of course, I'm the apple of my parents' eyes. I'm the apple of their eye. I'm so blessed. It's a pity that they gave birth to me too early. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered so much, and I wouldn't have gone to the countryside, and I wouldn't have met you."
"A thousand miles of love are connected by a thread. Even if you don't go to the countryside, we will know each other. It's just that the time of knowing each other may be a little later." Kang Mingyuan said disapprovingly. They are both from Donghai and go to neighboring universities. Sooner or later they will know each other.
The two of them picked the old leaves and roots of shepherd's purse and washed them in lake water. By then the rice was cooked, and Kang Mingyuan made braised silverfish, while Qiao Mo chopped the washed wild onions and perilla for later use. When the fish was almost cooked, she divided half of the wild onions and perilla into the rice, and then served it on a plate.
The braised fish is ready, so continue with the steamed fish. Steamed fish is easy to make. Just steam the marinated fish and pour the cooked sauce over it.
After the fish was steamed, Kang Mingyuan boiled a pot of water, blanched the shepherd's purse, added seasoning and mixed it into a cold dish. A delicious dish of cold-mixed shepherd's purse was ready.
"Momo, let's eat." Kang Mingyuan took out the folding table from the storage bead, put the dishes on it, and filled two bowls of rice.
"I'm here." Qiao Mo washed his hands by the lake, sat opposite Kang Mingyuan and started eating.
"This fish is so delicious, Brother Yuan, you should try it too." Qiao Mo picked up a piece of steamed fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The delicious taste filled her mouth: She had never eaten such delicious fish in her past and present life. This whitebait was indeed delicious.
"It's really delicious. Let's continue fishing in the afternoon." Kang Mingyuan didn't expect whitebait to be so delicious, so he decided to spend more time fishing.
"No more hunting?"
