Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

"Here, Grandpa usually doesn't drink it. He only takes a couple of sips when there are guests."

Su He was stunned. The Su family was even poorer than she had imagined.

Taking the wine jar from Su Chi, Su He quickly walked to the table, poured a little into the bowl, and put the processed fish in the bowl.

Take a piece of wild mint, fold it in half and tie a knot, dip it in the wine at the bottom of the bowl and rub it all over the fish. When it is almost covered, put it aside and wait for it to marinate for a while so that it can be more flavorful.

Just happened to pick some wild mint today, I can put some in to make it more fragrant.

Seeing that the pot beside him contained the porridge that Old Lady Su had cooked earlier and the fire was still on, Su He picked it up and put it aside, then took the clean frying pan and put it on the stove.

He turned around and was about to add more firewood to the stove, but Su Chi, who had been following behind him, was quick-witted and grabbed two pieces of firewood and put them into the stove. He blew into them, and the flame suddenly ignited.

Then he raised his head and smiled at Su He: "Sister, I'll make a fire for you. I'm good at this. Just leave it to me."

Seeing Su Chi's attentive look, Su He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not expose him. He then instructed: "Okay, light a fire on the stove next to it and boil some water."

After saying that, he saw that the pot had been heated up, so he quickly scooped some lard from the oil can and put it into the pot. Su He didn't dare to put too much, as he didn't know how long this amount of lard could last the Su family.

When the oil was heated, Su He sprinkled some salt into the pot, and then put the marinated fish into the pot one by one. In an instant, oil splashed everywhere, and soon, the aroma of fish slowly wafted out.

"smell good!"

Su Chi stretched his neck, looked into the pot, and sniffed hard. It turned out that what his elder sister said about being able to cook fish was true. He had caught fish before, but the ones cooked by his grandmother were not as fragrant as this one, and they were very fishy.

Su He smiled without saying anything. She carefully turned the fish in the pot over. Instantly the fried golden fish meat was revealed, mixed with the aroma from the kitchen, which instantly aroused her appetite.

“Gurgle gurgle….”

A gurgling sound interrupted Su He's thoughts. He turned his head to look at the sound, only to see Su Chi lowering his head in embarrassment and muttering in a low voice: "Don't blame me, it's just that the fish smells too good."

Su He smiled softly and didn't expose him. When the fish on this side was almost fried, the water on the side also boiled, bubbling with hot steam.

Su He took a bamboo ladle at hand, scooped three or four scoops of water into the fried fish pot, covered it with a lid, and told Su Chi to add some firewood.

Then turn around and cut the washed water celery and peppers and set aside.

Pour the washed wild mint into the remaining boiling water, blanch it gently until cooked, then remove it from the water and rinse it in a plate to cool it down.

After wringing it dry, cut it into small pieces, sprinkle it with salt, chopped garlic, chili and other seasonings, drizzle with a little hot oil, the aroma will come out instantly, and stir it to make a simple cold dish.

"Sister, the wild vegetables you cooked are so delicious. They are so delicious even without meat."

Su Chi praised him politely.

Su He lowered her head with curved eyebrows, and said nothing. She secretly complained in her heart: What's the big deal? It's just that there are too few things in the Su family's kitchen. If I have the conditions in the future, I will definitely make other things for them that will be even more delicious.

Scrambled eggs with wild mint and fried pork ribs with wild mint are absolutely delicious.

But now...

It's better to wait until the conditions are right before telling him. Even if I tell him now, it will only cause him more trouble.

After this dish was ready, the fish in the pot was almost done. When the lid was opened, I saw that the fish soup in the pot was already emitting an attractive milky white color.

Mixed with the strong fish aroma, it makes people drool. At this time, the fish no longer has any fishy smell.

Su Chi on the side widened his eyes. Su He had cooked all the dishes under his nose, so why was this fish different from the ones he had eaten before? Was this really the fish he caught today?

Su He ignored Su Chi's shock, grabbed a handful of the wild mint that had just been reserved and put it into the pot, pressed it into the soup with a spatula, sprinkled in a little salt, and the fish soup was ready.

Then clean the pot, heat up the lard, add the fermented black beans, and then stir-fry the chopped garlic and chili peppers.

"Ah."

Su Chi couldn't help sneezing when he smelled the chili.

Seeing Su He looking back at him, he touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "I couldn't help it for a moment, but the taste is new and different from what I have tasted before."

Su He saw that there was nothing strange about Su Chi, as if he was used to the taste, so he poured the chopped water celery into the pot, stir-fried it for a few times, sprinkled salt on it, stir-fried it again, and served it on a plate, all in one go.

Considering that there were many people at home, I fried a plate of wild vegetables that I had washed in the morning and left over from the basket.

"Okay, bring out the dishes and tell everyone to start eating."

Su He said to Su Chi as she untied her apron.

By now, the Su family should have washed up and changed their clothes. They must be hungry after a busy day.

After the Su family sat down around the table, they found that today's dinner seemed really different from usual. The smell was tempting.

"Ah He, did you really do all this?"

Mrs. Xie was a little surprised and pointed at the dishes on the table and asked in surprise.

Thinking back to when I came back just now, I heard my daughter talking about making fish soup. This bowl of milky white soup was really fish soup. How come it was different from what she made before?

Looking at the other vegetables, my mother-in-law told me that they picked wild vegetables from the river when they came back at noon. They looked different from the wild vegetables we usually eat. They were emerald green and looked...

It seems somewhat tempting.

In front of everyone was the usual thin porridge that was so thin that you could see your reflection in it, but the dish seemed very different.

"Eat quickly."

Su He asked everyone to sit down and served everyone a bowl of fish soup.

There is nothing delicious nowadays. Only fish can be considered a meat dish. We are busy with farming and don’t eat well every day.

Everyone in the Su family had a dull complexion, looked malnourished, and was very thin.

Grandpa Su also stared at the food in front of him for a long time, then looked up at his granddaughter who had always been in poor health. When he saw Su He meet his eyes, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Thinking of what my wife just said about God’s blessing, could it be true?

"Eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

Old Man Su picked up his chopsticks and greeted them.

With Old Man Su's words, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. After a busy day, everyone was very hungry. They took a sip of Su Hesheng's fish soup to warm their stomachs.

"This fish soup is so delicious. It really doesn't have any fishy smell at all."

Su Chi took a big gulp of the fish soup and let out a satisfied cry. He was amazed by what he saw in the kitchen just now. He didn't expect it to taste so good. There was really no trace of earthy smell. It was different from what he had eaten before.
