Then he went into the house, and when he came out, he had a few more eggs in his hands.
In the kitchen, Lin Cuizhi and Zhao Chunxi had no idea what dish Lin Yunchu was planning to cook, and they just stared at her blankly.
Lin Yunchu beat the eggs he had brought into a bowl, then grabbed a handful of bay leaves, chopped them up and poured them into the bowl containing the eggs.
Turn around and scoop a little salt, then mix the eggs and chopped bay leaves evenly.
Heat oil in a pan, pour the evenly mixed eggs into the pan, and fry slowly over low heat.
"Can this be used for scent leaves?"
Zhao Chunxi, who was squatting on the side, looked curious, but now there was no trace of doubt in her eyes, but a bit more excitement.
Who knew that snails and bay leaves were really edible? The snails that Lin Yunchu just made were so fragrant that they almost made her dizzy. They must taste good.
Now seeing Lin Yunchu using these chopped bay leaves to fry eggs, it must be incredibly delicious.
Just as I was lost in thought, the aroma of the bay leaf fried eggs in the pan began to waft out.
As Lin Yunchu gently turned the eggs in the pan, the special fragrance of the bay leaves mixed with the burnt aroma of the eggs was even more tempting.
"This is so different from the eggs I usually fry. The aroma is stronger, and it's completely different from the fried snails I just had."
Lin Cuizhi had already fried all the small fish at this time. She reached out to pick up the last fried fish to drain the oil, while she chuckled and spoke to Lin Yunchu.
"I never thought the fragrant leaves in the back mountain had so many uses!"
Zhao Chunxi also nodded.
If she hadn't seen Lin Yunchu and her sister-in-law picking these fragrant leaves and cooking them in front of her today, she really couldn't believe that these ordinary-looking leaves could be used to cook dishes, and the taste was so fragrant.
“It will taste even better later!”
Lin Yunchu lowered his head and quickly stir-fried the eggs with the spatula in his hand. The eggs in the pan turned into golden caramel color, with a rich aroma and attractive appearance.
He took the bowl beside him and scooped out the fried eggs from the pan. The eggs in the bowl emitted hot steam, like smoke, accompanied by an enticing aroma.
While the fire in the stove was still burning brightly, Lin Yunchu planned to make another dish of braised fish with fermented black beans.
I took the bowl beside me, filled it with fried fish, and heated oil in a pan.
Add the chopped scallions, minced ginger and chili peppers, sauté until fragrant, then scoop a spoonful of bean paste and fermented black beans and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour the fried fish into the pan and stir-fry evenly.
When the sauce in the pot covers the fish, scoop a ladle of water into the pot, cover the fish, cover and simmer for a while.
At this time, the other members of the Lin family had already returned, and Lin Qingshan's family had also arrived. They were looking at each other in surprise in the main room as they looked at the prepared snails and fried eggs on the table.
What's this dish you're making tonight? It smells so good.
Lin Qingshan's mouth corners were almost stretched to the back of his ears. No wonder Lin Yunchu asked them to come over for dinner in the evening. Although one of the dishes was not clear what it was, one could tell it must be good by smelling it.
Because it smelled so good, if he didn't have to act like an elder in front of the younger ones, he would have been tempted to try a couple of bites first.
Just when Lin Yunchu served the stewed fish, Lin Changting happened to pick up Lin Changan from school.
As soon as Lin Changan entered the yard, he smelled the fragrance and ran to his kitchen as if he was familiar with the place. He shouted loudly as he ran, "Sister, what are we having for dinner? This smells so good, I can't help it."
Lin Yunchu turned around and saw Lin Changan running into the kitchen with big strides. In the blink of an eye, he came to him, his eyes staring straight into his bowl.
Lin Yunchu glared at him unhappily and handed him the braised fish he had just prepared.
"There's some freshly fried fish over there. Take that out first. I'll stir-fry two more dishes and we'll have dinner."
Thinking that everyone was already there, Lin Yunchu quickened his pace. With the help of Lin Cuizhi and Zhao Chunxi, the three of them quickly fried two vegetables.
On the other side, Pan Xiuxiu had already served a bowl of steamed rice to everyone. Now the dishes were also ready. Lin Yunchu took the last dish in his hand and placed it on the table.
Everyone looked at the table full of dishes, their eyes fixed on the big bowl of snails. They wanted to eat it but didn't know how to start. Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Yunchu.
Lin Yunchu curled her lips and her eyes were full of smiles. Knowing that everyone was waiting for her, she didn't say anything. Under everyone's gaze, she reached out and took a bamboo stick made by Lin Changping and Lin Changting.
I picked up a snail in one hand and took a sip from the snail's mouth. The juice inside immediately filled my mouth with the taste of snail mixed with bay leaves. It was so delicious!
Then use a bamboo stick to pick out the snail meat, remove the inedible part at the bottom, and put the remaining snail meat into your mouth in one bite.
Seeing this, the others nodded in understanding and followed Lin Yunchu's example, picking up a snail and starting to eat it.
After eating the first snail, everyone looked in disbelief and continued eating.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so delicious. I'll go pick it up from the creek tomorrow."
Lin Cuizhi was now extremely grateful that out of curiosity she had thought of bringing this thing back to show Lin Yunchu, and that was how she got to taste this delicious thing by accident.
There are a lot of snails in the small river at the east end of the village. She will go there when she has free time tomorrow. She will be able to pick up half a bucket in a short time, enough for their two families to have a meal.
Moreover, she also saw the fragrant leaves in the back mountain today. It was a huge piece. Anyway, no one knew that it was edible, so it was a good deal for them.
"My cousin will come and call me tomorrow, and I will go with you."
Lin Yunchu suddenly had an idea, but she decided to wait until tomorrow when she and Lin Cuizhi would go to the river to take a look.
Lin Cuizhi took a bite of the snail in her hand, and without thinking much, she nodded to Lin Yunchu. It was not a big deal. It would be nice to have someone to keep her company if they went together tomorrow.
"What is this? Even though there isn't much meat in it, it tastes really good. It's even more fragrant than meat."
Lin Qingshan took a sip of the wine in the glass, picked up a snail and started eating it. He couldn't stop. After a busy day, he could still eat such delicious food in the evening. This life was really comfortable.
Before Lin Yunchu could say anything, Lin Cuizhi at the side responded, "Dad, Yunchu said this is called a snail. My eldest brother and I picked it up today in the creek at the east end of the village."
Lin Cuizhi was cheerful and in a good mood. She continued, "I originally wanted to bring this back for Yun Chu to see as something new. I didn't expect this thing to be edible. Also, do you know where the fragrant leaves inside were picked?"
