Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming
Chapter 8 Making Dinner
"Grandma is right. I have been feeling dizzy and groggy for the past few years due to my illness, but today I feel full of strength and my mind is much clearer. I can recognize many things. It must be the blessing of the gods."
Su He didn't know how to explain all this, and could only follow what Old Lady Su said that everything was blessed by the gods.
Fortunately, the Su family at that time all believed in gods and had no doubts at all. They just took it as true, otherwise they could not explain these things. After all, this was also a good thing.
Su He took the wild strawberries handed to him by Old Man Su and looked at them carefully. They looked like sparkling gems. When he sniffed them carefully, he could even smell a faint fragrance.
Seeing Old Man Su looking at her with an expectant expression on his face, Su He smiled gently, picked up one and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet fruity aroma instantly spread in her mouth.
"Really delicious!"
After hearing Su He's words, Old Man Su smiled with satisfaction.
"Ahe likes it. Next time you see it, Grandpa will bring it back to you!"
In this remote little village, we only have two meals a day on weekdays, because during the busy farming season, we need to go to the fields to have breakfast.
Fruit was even more of a luxury. Adults would only pick wild fruits when they saw them in the fields and take them home to give as snacks to their children.
Su He has always been in poor health. Although she is fifteen years old, she has always been treated as a child by the Su family. If there is anything delicious, they will definitely bring a portion for her first, and even the youngest Su Chi has to wait in line behind.
"Okay! Ah Chi got some fish today. I'll make you some fish soup tonight."
After Su He finished speaking, he handed the wild strawberries in his hand to Su Chi behind him, raised his eyes towards him, and motioned for him to taste the wild strawberries.
Seeing Su He's eyes, Su Chi's mouth corners instantly opened up, revealing a silly smile.
He was so happy. Although everyone in the family felt sorry for his elder sister, his elder sister loved him the most and would share any delicious food with him.
When they heard Su He say she wanted to cook, everyone was stunned again. It was the aunt Luo who spoke first: "How can this be possible? It's rare for you to go out for a walk today. You must be tired. Let me cook dinner."
Su He's mother, Xie, also reacted and nodded in agreement:
"That's right, we can just come for dinner, it won't be a big deal, you can take a good rest first, there's no rush to cook, we can do it slowly later."
Everyone also believed the words about God's blessing, but they were worried about Su He's health. He had been ill for so many years, it was impossible for him to get better just like that.
It would be no joke if they got tired, and they were all used to cooking, so if several people worked together they could finish the job quickly.
And Su He just said that she wanted to make fish soup. Although they knew that the fish in the river was very fishy, since Su He wanted to eat it, they should try to make it.
Su He waved at the two of them and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I feel more energetic now after doing more exercise. Maybe I just lay down too much before."
They have been working in the fields all day, so how can I ask them to cook dinner? Besides, I am afraid that I am the only one who knows how to cook the water celery I picked at noon.
It's so hard to see some fish and eat some meat. It would be a waste if I don't cook it well.
Su He tried her best to explain that after resting for these days, she now felt stronger and it seemed that walking more often would be a good idea.
Seeing that Su He was so persistent, the two didn't say anything more. It seemed that Su He was indeed different today. Maybe it was really as she said, that walking more would help her body recover.
Besides, they were at home now and nothing would happen if they were watching, so they didn't try to stop them.
After a busy day, everyone in the Su family had a lot of mud on their hands and feet, and their trouser legs and sleeves were wet.
Su He asked them to wash up and change into dry clothes first to avoid catching a cold. Then she turned and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
Su Chi found a clay jar, took the wild flowers from Su Zhiyan's hand and put them into the jar, then carefully adjusted it until he thought it looked the best. Then he happily took it to Su He's room, then turned around and went into the kitchen.
Su He was in the kitchen. She first carefully looked at the existing dishes and ingredients in the kitchen, and secretly thought about how to cook tonight. It was a pity that the Su family was really too poor.
Apart from half a can of oil and a little salt for seasoning, the other seasonings are pitifully few. No wonder the dishes we eat on weekdays are either steamed or boiled directly.
But if the fish is not cooked with any other ingredients, it would be strange if it doesn’t taste fishy.
Su He looked around. Hey, the red skewers hanging by the door looked like peppers. If they were seasoned with peppers, the taste would be much better.
Su He stepped forward and took a closer look. He confirmed that it was peppers. He was about to take the dried peppers down when Su Chi stepped forward to stop him.
"Sister, what do you want this for? You can't eat this."
Although Su He said she would cook fish soup for everyone tonight, Su Chi didn't hold out much hope. It was not like he had not eaten fish from this river before, and they tasted earthy and fishy.
There is really nothing to eat at home now, so I thought of catching a few fish and bringing them back, which will at least be considered a meat dish.
But this red fruit is really not edible. He picked it when he and his cousin went into the mountains to look for wild vegetables.
I thought it was some wild fruit, but after eating it, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach. I wanted to throw it away, but my grandma thought it looked festive and hung it at the kitchen door.
"Can't eat? Why can't I eat it?"
Su He was confused, thinking that Su Chi couldn't eat spicy food, so she just put less pepper in. The dishes cooked with this pepper tasted completely different.
"This fruit will burn you and give you a stomachache if you eat it."
Su Chi thought about the last time he took a bite of it. The taste was still fresh in his memory and he couldn't help but shudder.
Su He seemed to understand. Could it be that they were eating them as wild fruits?
This pepper is very spicy if eaten directly. She will use it as a condiment for them tonight and they will know the answer after they eat it.
I just don't know how much spiciness everyone can accept. Su He plans to put a small amount first. After they have tasted the peppers made into dishes, they will definitely like it. In modern times, she can't live without spicy food.
"Do grandpa and dad drink? Is there any wine at home?"
Su He thought about it, turned around and asked Su Chi behind him.
There are very few seasonings available in the kitchen. If you have wine, it is better to marinate the fish with it to remove the fishy smell.
Su Chi nodded like a little chicken, turned around and ran out the door. After a while, he came back, holding a small clay pot in his hand and waved vigorously at Su He.
