Chapter 4 Catch fish and drink fish soup!

"Sister, where are we going?" Li Zhengde asked, taking the small basket from Li Mingxia's hand.

Li Mingxia pointed to the river ahead and said, "Catch some fish!"

Li Zhengde's eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head. He reached out and held back Li Mingxia who was about to move forward. "No, sister. There are no fish in that river, and the water is very deep. It's dangerous. No! You can't go!"

Li Mingxia pulled Li Zhengde to his side. He knew that this little kid was worried about him, and he felt happy. He took out a piece of candy from the space while he was not paying attention, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into Li Zhengde's mouth.

"Hmm? Sister, what is this... Hmm? Sweet, sweet?" Li Zhengde tasted the taste in his mouth carefully. Is this candy? But where did the elder sister get the candy?

"Just eat it, don't ask." Li Mingxia didn't want to bother explaining where the candy came from. She couldn't explain it, so she just said it directly.

Li Zhengde: ...Okay.

"Sister, we really can't catch any fish in this river. Shall we go dig some wild vegetables?" Li Zhengde was frightened when he saw Li Mingxia eager to try with a stick in her hand. He was afraid that his elder sister would go into the river without being watched.

Li Mingxia stood on the bank and took a look at the river water. It was indeed turbid and turbulent. No wonder no one could catch any fish. But just because others couldn't catch any fish didn't mean she couldn't. The fish raised in such river water were the most plump and delicious! However, Li Mingxia didn't want to go down to the river. She felt helpless when she saw the little carrot head holding onto her clothes and refusing to let go.

"Don't worry, I won't go into the river. You just stay by the side and help me watch over the people. Big sister will promise that we will have fish to eat tonight, okay?" Li Mingxia said in a low voice.

Although no one would come here, she didn't want to spread the news that she caught the fish, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Li Mingxia really had no intention of going down to the river, Li Zhengde half-believedly let go of her hand and helped her keep an eye on the surroundings. Li Mingxia came to the river with the sharpened stick. After staring for more than ten seconds, she made a decisive move. When she raised the stick again, two big fat fish suddenly appeared at the top of the stick! They had been pierced through!

Li Zhengde rubbed his eyes. He thought he must be hallucinating because of hunger. Otherwise, how could he see his elder sister catch fish in a blink of an eye, and two such big fish! You know, the fish in this river are not even eaten by Uncle Sanshan, who is the best swimmer!

"Hurry up and bring the basket over." Li Mingxia was also very happy, thinking that there would be delicious fish in the evening. The three little rascals and Zhang, who would fall over if the wind blew, all needed to be nourished.

Li Zhengde quickly brought the basket over and handed it to Li Mingxia. A layer of grass had been laid at the bottom of the basket in advance, so the two fish were thrown directly into it. Li Mingxia took his brother to the edge of the mountain again, and first found a bunch of wild vegetables to press the two fish underneath, and then picked some hawthorns and wild fruits. Finally, Li Zhengde was very lucky and dug out a nest of pheasant eggs. The brother and sister returned home happily with a full load.

"Sister, I'll help you carry the basket, you just play with this." Li Zhengde handed the woven wreath to Li Mingxia and took the heavy basket. "I'm a man, how can I let my sister do these things?"

Li Mingxia played with the wreath in her hand, feeling somewhat fortunate that her brother had not been raised with the idea of ​​male superiority over female, otherwise it would have been a bit of a hassle to discipline him. "Okay, then I'll trouble our little man. I'll make you something delicious tonight. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you've had it once!"

Hearing his elder sister praising him, Li Zhengde secretly straightened his back and held the basket more tightly.

When the two arrived home, Zhang had already taken her two daughters to clean the house inside and out. Although it was still very shabby, it was clean and tidy and looked very comfortable.

"You two siblings are back? Come and take a rest. I'll cook for you later. Oh, you dug up so many wild vegetables. What will we have to eat in the next two days?" Zhang said happily when she only saw the layer of wild vegetables on the surface of the basket.

Li Mingxia blinked, took out the wild vegetables, and revealed the fish under the basket.

"This, this! Where did this come from? Sister Xia, you guys..."

Li Mingxia quickly made a pause gesture and said, "I leave it to you. You are responsible for explaining everything to mom. I will cook tonight and you just wait to eat." Li Mingxia picked up the small basket and strode into the kitchen. Behind him was Li Zhengde's excited voice.

The two fish were quite big, one weighing at least three or four pounds. Li Mingxia already had a plan in mind. He would make fish soup with one fish and braise the other with cabbage and potatoes.

There was only a little oil and salt in the kitchen, but Li Mingxia was the only one there, so he just took out any seasonings in the space and used them. The bones and fish meat were completely melted in the soup, and the milky white color increased people's appetite. When it was out of the pot, a handful of coriander was sprinkled on it to make the fragrance more intense. Braised fish was even simpler. After adding enough seasonings and collecting the soup, the cabbage and potato cubes were coated with salty and fragrant flavors. Li Mingxia added a little bit of sugar to enhance the flavor, and the fish did not smell fishy at all. Thinking that such braised soup would go well with rice, Li Mingxia deliberately left some more. The fish meat was soaked in the thick braised soup, and the fragrance made people's tongues curl.

Li Mingxia used three of the six pheasant eggs to make scrambled eggs, and took out two bowls of black flour. He took out a small portion of white flour from the space and mixed it into steamed buns. This kind of buns tastes chewy but will not cut your throat, and has the unique sweetness of wheat, not much different from white flour buns. In addition, the black flour can completely cover the white flour, so no difference can be seen from the outside, and there is no need to worry that Zhang will find out something is wrong. The wild vegetables are not wasted. After washing and blanching, they are mixed with minced garlic and salt. Three dishes, one soup and big steamed buns, this is too rich!

Looking at the fish soup in front of her and smelling its tempting aroma, Zhang was a little dazed and didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks. "This... I haven't eaten anything so good during the Chinese New Year..."

Li Mingxia picked up a piece of belly meat and gave it to the youngest, Li Mingdong, "Mom, this fish is easy to catch. If you like to eat it, I can catch it for you every day. Just eat it with confidence." As she spoke, Li Mingxia put a piece of fish meat in everyone's bowl, and she picked up the bowl of soup and took a big sip.

The moment the fragrant and delicious taste rushed into his mouth, Li Mingxia squinted his eyes comfortably. Everyone finally couldn't help it and took a bite of steamed bun, a bite of fish meat, and then a sip of fish soup. They were so happy that they almost cried.
