Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

"Brother, just deal with this big one, and keep the others in the stone trough tank first."

Su He pointed at the fish in the bucket and said to Su Mu.

The fish I caught today is quite big. I will fillet the meat and make sauerkraut fish later. Together with the vegetables I just picked, it should be enough for us to eat.

Su Mu nodded. It was quite difficult to catch this big fish today, but it was not bad to have a meal.

After saying that, he put the other small fish into the stone trough to raise them first, then scooped up the big fish in the bucket and started to process it.

Su He picked up the processed vegetables she had just picked and went into the kitchen. She took out a handful of pickled cabbage from the jar in the corner, washed it, and cut it into small pieces.

It looked like it was almost time for Old Man Su and his companions to be back soon.

Su He picked up a few fresh cucumbers, put them on the chopping board, cut off the two ends, smashed them with a snap, and put the cucumbers into a bowl.

Next, add minced garlic and chili pepper, vinegar and seasoning, and use a pair of clean chopsticks to stir the cucumber in the bowl evenly.

At this time, the aroma of the seasoning and the fresh fragrance of the cucumber have already spread, and that's almost it.

Su He put the mixed cucumber aside and stirred it again after the other dishes were ready so that they would be well flavored.

At this time, Su Mu's fish had also been processed. It was cut into fillets according to Su He's instructions, and the fillets were carefully placed aside. The fish head, tail and bones were put in a separate bowl.

Su He took the fish fillets and began to marinate them, adding salt, cooking wine, and starch, stirring evenly and setting them aside.

Use the same method to marinate the fish head and bones.

After preparing all the ingredients, heat the oil in a pan, put the marinated fish bones and fish heads into the pan, and fry them slowly over low heat until both sides are golden brown.

Add onion, ginger, garlic and sauerkraut, stir-fry for a few times, and the fish aroma will begin to waft out.

"Sister, this fish smells so good."

Su He smiled and lowered his head without saying anything. He had cooked fish before, but they were all small fish. Today, he caught this rare big fish, so the taste would definitely be different.

Seeing that the sauerkraut in the pot had changed slightly in color, Su He quickly poured boiling hot water into the pot, just enough to cover the fish and sauerkraut.

He stuffed two more pieces of firewood into the stove and quickly boiled the fish soup in the pot. After a while, the soup in the pot slowly turned into milky white.

Then start adding salt to season it, and cook for a while until it’s almost done.

Su He found an old man named Su and made a bamboo colander according to her instructions. He scooped out the fish bones, pickled vegetables, etc. in the pot and put them into a large bowl.

Then slowly put the marinated fish fillets into the pot, slowly turning them over. When the water in the pot boils, the fish fillets will be almost cooked.

Su He stirred it slowly a few times, and seeing that the fish fillets in the pot were cooked, he poured the fish fillets into the bowl of sauerkraut with fish bones.

Sprinkle some chili segments on top, heat oil in a pan and pour it on top.

The aroma of the chili was instantly stimulated, mixed with the aroma of fish, and spread throughout the kitchen.

Even Su Mu and others outside the yard couldn't help but look towards the kitchen, muttering to themselves, they had eaten a lot of fish before, so why did the pickled fish this time taste so fragrant.

Xia Mei's eyes were also full of confusion. She was helping to light a fire in the kitchen while Su He was making pickled fish in front of her. She went from being confused at first to being stunned now.

Is this really made from fish caught in the small river at the foot of the village?

This smells so good. It turns out that people in the village don’t eat fish because they think it has a strong earthy smell. It’s because they don’t know how to cook it.

If everyone could do it, there would be no fish to catch in the river as they would have been caught by the villagers long ago.

Su He cleaned the pot, poured in oil, and sprinkled in a handful of minced garlic.

After sautéing, pour the peeled and washed pumpkin sprout tips into the pot, stir-fry quickly, and you will soon smell the familiar aroma.

Su He's mouth corners slightly raised, she had been craving for this for a long time.

When Old Man Su and his companions came back, dinner was just ready.

Everyone in the Su family looked at the full table, which looked very tempting.

"Okay, sit down and eat!"

Old Man Su was full of energy and smiled as he called on everyone to sit down and eat.

Xie was most curious about the tip of the pumpkin seedling. She couldn't help but take a bite. It didn't hurt her throat as she had imagined. Instead, it was very refreshing, fresh and sweet. It was even better than pumpkin.

This is too magical. In the past, they would wait until the pumpkins were ripe before eating them. Wouldn’t that mean they missed out on too much?

"Ah He, I didn't expect the pumpkin sprouts to be so delicious. We only ate pumpkins before."

Xie's face was full of regret, as if she had missed too much. If she had known that this thing was so delicious, she would never have wasted so much.

"That's right. I didn't expect that such prickly branches and leaves could be made into something that tastes so refreshing."

Luo took two bites and nodded in agreement.

Su He picked up a piece of corn paste with chopsticks and mixed it with the corn paste in the bowl. After one bite, he felt refreshed all over.

She squinted her eyes slightly and chewed the fresh and crispy tips of pumpkin sprouts in her mouth, feeling really satisfied.

In fact, it is not surprising that they don’t know. The surface of this thing is covered with velvety thorns, and it is impossible to eat it if you don’t know how to handle it.

"The most important thing is to peel off the outer layer of thorns. It is delicious when stir-fried or cooked in soup. And when it blooms in a few days, the flowers can also be eaten."

The stems are fresh and crisp, and the flowers are sweet.

It can also be made into different dishes with different tastes.

When everyone heard that the flowers could be eaten, they were eager to try it. The stems were so delicious, they would have to try it when they bloomed.

Xia Mei picked up a piece of fish fillet and pickled cabbage with chopsticks. Her eyes widened immediately after taking a bite. It tasted even more delicious than just smelling it.

I didn't expect the fish could be cooked so deliciously.

Su Mu, who was standing by, saw that Xia Mei was eating happily and scooped another spoonful into her bowl.

Seeing Xia Mei glaring at him, he subconsciously paused with the spoon in his hand and started laughing foolishly.

Xia Mei saw that everyone was looking at her, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Su He shook her head slightly. What should she do since her future brother and sister-in-law are so thin-skinned?

Everyone changed the subject upon seeing this. If they continued watching, Xia Mei would probably bury her face in the bowl.

Seeing that the two people had a good relationship, everyone in the Su family was very happy. In two days, Su He would go to the town and buy the wedding dress, and then the two of them could get married.

After dinner, after washing the dishes, everyone in the Su family went to the yard to enjoy the cool air, and talked about what they were going to do tomorrow.

Su He cleaned the "ground bubbles" picked today, put them in a bowl and served them to everyone as after-meal fruit.

Su Chi grabbed a few and put them in his mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them, then let out a satisfied sigh.
