Now, looking at the fish in front of her, she has a plan in mind: she'll make boiled fish!
While Niu Niu wasn't looking, she mixed a hot pot base, and after the oil was hot, she added the chopped pickled cabbage and pickled ginger.
This pickled cabbage has only been pickled for three days. It's edible, but the flavor definitely won't be as rich as cabbage that has been pickled for a longer time.
She then poured the peeled garlic cloves into the pot, stir-fried them until fragrant, and then added the hot pot base.
Niu Niu made the fire burn extremely brightly, so the hot pot base melted quickly after being added, emitting a wonderful aroma.
"Mom, it smells so good in the pot!" The fire in the stove made Niu Niu's whole body glow red. Her eyebrows were curved, and she looked like an innocent little girl.
Chen Yunyun glanced at her, then put her hand to her mouth. "Shh, let's eat something delicious secretly. We can't tell the villagers, or they'll come and take it from us, and then we won't have anything to eat."
Niu Niu nodded vigorously, "Mom, I know."
She knew better than anyone how weak she was; let alone something this good, she couldn't even protect a rotten sweet potato.
Chen Yunyun added water to the pot, put in wild vegetables and radishes, cooked them, and took them out. After the bright red broth in the pot boiled, she put the thinly sliced fish into the pot.
In no time, the spicy and fragrant boiled fish fillets were ready!
In the steamer on the other side, the white rice that Chen Yunyun had steamed was also cooked.
The steaming hot food was placed on the table, and the children sat obediently at the table, watching the food without touching it, as they had never eaten such food before.
Chunks of fish float in the bright red soup. The fish slices are so tender that you can easily reveal their snow-white interior with just a gentle touch of chopsticks.
The fish meat was soaked in the spicy broth, making it very flavorful. Because the fish was fresh, it was also exceptionally delicious.
The moment the fish enters your mouth, your taste buds are overjoyed, and you unconsciously produce more saliva, feeling like there's never enough fish to eat!
The side dish next to it was something the eldest child had never seen before; it was a white, tender piece with a yellowish tinge all over and a small bud at the tip.
The stepmother called this vegetable bean sprouts, saying that she picked them from the field.
Is this thing really not poisonous? It doesn't look like something you could eat.
