My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Erye had long been craving for the fish in the river. Seeing that it was still early, he invited Yue to go to the river to catch some fish.

The two came to the river, and Shi Erye took out the shark silk that he had prepared long ago. It was impossible to catch it with hands. How long would it take to catch such a small fish? Even if you could catch it, a pair of hands could only hold one fish.

She had already observed that this shark yarn was thin, soft, tough, and water-resistant, making it the best substitute for fishing nets.

"Mom, there are so many small fish in this river. Let's catch some today and fry them to eat, okay? They will be so delicious!" Shi Erye said to the moon.

"Okay! I'll help you. It's up to you how to do it!" Yue cooperated with all her strength.

"We're going to use this to catch them now. I'm aiming for a large patch here. Later, we'll put the yarn in the water and let it stretch out under the fish. Then we'll pull up the four corners and lift them up! What do you think?"

"Hmm...it's a good idea." The water in the Yuejian River was not deep and there was no danger. After the two of them decided on the idea, they began to implement it.

Yes ~ gently... slowly... "Mom, have you finished pulling the corner over there?" Shi Erye asked in a low voice using his mouth.

Yue nodded, indicating that she was ready.

Okay, just raise your hand and pull! Pull~ The two of them quickly pulled up the four corners and threw them to the shore in tacit cooperation. Although there were some fish that slipped through the net, the small fish in the shark yarn were still a good harvest.

"Hahahaha... Success! We succeeded!" The two of them clapped their hands!

"Mother, look, these small fish are enough for us to fry a lot of small fish! Thanks to mother, the shark yarn you gave me is so useful! Thank you, mother!"

"No way. I never thought it could be used like this. Ye is smart. He has made the best use of it. Just use it. When I return to Ming's grandparents' home, I will buy you the latest shark silk." Yue thought of her father and couldn't help but... Hey! "Ming has become your partner and he doesn't even know..."

"It's okay. When we're done with this busy period, let's take gifts and go visit grandfather!" Shi Erye could understand Yue. As a daughter who married far away, she missed her parents, her hometown, and... She was busy comforting Yue!

"I have to go back. His gift hasn't been delivered yet! This is a big loss~ Oh~ my dear~ I must go back and take out his precious pottery for you to use! Ye, you just wait and see, when you go back, I will get you more of his treasures!"

"Hmm... um..." The reversal of the two extremes came too suddenly. Shi Erye opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Looking up at the bright moon, looking down thinking of hometown. The homesickness of the mother is not within the scope of her mother's thinking. Will the unfilial children who look up thinking of pottery and look down to pull the shark's silk really be welcomed? Shi Erye is very worried about this journey back home!

"Ye, what should we do with these little fish?" Yue looked left and right, not knowing how to start.

"Oh, let me take a look," Shi Erye, who had come to his senses from homesickness, looked at the fish in the shark silk. It was neither too big nor too small and quite fat. Huh? There were actually some small shrimps. Hmm! An unexpected surprise. I'll fry them together with the fish later.

"Mother, I'll take care of the fish and shrimp, you help me cut the seasoning, cut it very finely." Shi Erye took out a knife and gave it to Yue. This was the fruit knife that Shi Erye brought with him, which was sharper and easier to use than a bone knife. When getting along with the Ming family, Shi Erye was willing to show his sincerity. People who believe in you, tolerate you, and treat you well will never harm you at any time. People who don't love you, no matter how they try to cover it up, will find loopholes to harm you.

Yue took the knife generously, without saying anything or asking. She only said, "Don't worry, I promise to cut it finely." When the knife touched Yue's hand, she could tell that it was made of iron. There were no developed iron mines in the South Territory, nor were there any ironworkers. Ye's knife was sharp and exquisite. Even in the North Territory, it was a rare fine product. No matter where Ye came from, she didn't want to say it, but our family would keep it a secret for her! From the moment she knelt down to worship us, she was my biological cub! After figuring it out, Yue chopped the seasonings even harder.

It was the second night, and Mingyue's thoughts and attitudes were understood, so he also sped up his work. He scaled, gutted, cleaned, and threw the fish into the bamboo basket, all in one go. Soon, the whole bamboo basket of fish was cleaned.

The seasoning for the moon chop is almost ready.

"Is this okay?" Yue looked at Shi Erye and asked.

"It's OK! Thank you for your hard work, mother~"

"That's good. What should we do now?" He then returned the knife in his hand to Shi Erye.

"Well, now go and fry the seasonings until dry and fragrant, mother, help me. I'll build a stove and fry the fish! As for the knife, mother, if you don't mind, please accept it. I don't have anything here, so I'll give you a good gift." Shi Erye said, feeling embarrassed. People gave you gauze and pearls... but you gave them a knife in return. What's the big deal? In modern times, if you have such a friend, you will definitely be blacklisted!

"Give it to me?" Yue looked at Shi Erye in disbelief and asked.

"Yes! I think it is better than a bone knife. Mother should be able to use it on a daily basis. If you don't like it..."

"I like it! Ye, I like it very much! Thank you!" Yue said to Shi Erye while holding the knife. "I will keep it well!" Yue looked at Shi Erye and was very moved.

"As long as mother likes it, let's go fry some fish now."

Shi Erye helped Yue preheat the stone slab and light the fire. "Mother, I'll leave this to you. Put these seasonings on the stone slab, slowly fry and roast them, and stir-fry them from time to time. Don't use a big fire. Just make sure the stone slab is warm enough. I'll go fry the fish."

"Yeah! Leave this to me." Yue replied.

After finishing this, Shi Erye quickly set up the stove. He marinated the drained fish with salt, ginger slices, and onion juice. Alas! It's a pity that wheat was discovered just now. If I had discovered it earlier, today's fried fish could have been fried in egg liquid and flour.

Put a large bamboo tube pot on the stove, heat the oil, wait until the oil temperature reaches 50%, put the fish in and fry them slowly over low heat for three minutes. After taking them out, wait until the oil temperature reaches 70%, and fry them again.

"Mom, are the seasonings ready?" Chef Shi calculated the time in his mind and felt that the fish was fried, and the seasonings should also be ready.

"Okay! It's fried dry!" Yue responded.

"Put it all in a bamboo bowl and bring it to me!" Shi Erye shouted!

"Okay!" Yue brought the prepared condiments to Shi Erye.

Take the seasoning and pour it into the fish that has just been taken out of the pot!

"Shuahua... Shasha..." The crispy fish and condiments are thoroughly mixed and sprinkled with homemade chili powder and pepper powder. The taste is amazing!

On the hillside, one man and three animals were swallowing their saliva desperately and harvesting even harder.

"Ah~ah~Hurry up and finish work. Let's eat and eat!" Haha, the Wolf King was busy all the time.

The other three responded at an accelerated pace.

"Mom, how is it? Is it delicious?" Shi Erye asked.

"Mmm! The delicious food is flying! So good!" Yue responded to her using the new terms she and Shi Erye had learned.

After getting a positive answer, Shi Erye became full of energy. He said, "I will marinate the venison now and fry it here. You can roast it over there and I will make the soup here. It seems that they will be done soon."

"Yeah sure," Yue replied as she kept stuffing fried fish into her mouth.

At night, the marinated venison slices were quickly fried, then poured onto the stone slab, topped with mushroom seasoning, and slowly grilled together with the venison. "Okay, I'll leave this to you, mother. No need to add fire, just the temperature of the stone slab will do!"

Yue nodded to show that she understood.

Shi Erye turned around, washed the wild vegetables and blanched them. He put oil and ginger and garlic in the pot and sautéed them until fragrant. He poured water and salt, boiled them, put the vegetables in, and put in the oil residue he brought in the morning. A light vegetable soup was ready.

I looked up at the hillside. Ming had almost finished mowing the crops, so I didn't rush to call him. I could wait until he finished mowing the last bit and then come back to eat. It wouldn't be too late.

When I have free time, I sit next to Yue and chat with her.

"Mother, did you say that grandpa's pottery jar is very precious?" Shi Erye was very curious about the market price of pottery jars in this world.

"Well! Not only is it a treasure to him, the entire wealthy North Territory also treasures it! Not to mention the impoverished South Territory. The technology is mastered in the Royal City of the North Territory. The Beast City below is not qualified to know about it." Yue gave Shi Erye some popular science knowledge about pottery.

"Oh~ It's quite valuable now!"

"Yes! Yes! Who said it wasn't? They are just some objects for storing things. But they are rare, so they are treated as treasures. My old man has several large pottery pieces. Even I have never given them to him. This time he has a granddaughter-in-law, I must find one for you! Haha..."

"No need to touch it, I'll make one for you..."

“Hehe… make one… what? Make… what… make… one?” Yue was so frightened that she didn’t even want to eat the fried fish.

"Well! Just make pottery!" Shi Erye said calmly. His expression was as simple as saying that making fried fish was easy.

But Yue knew that Shi Erye was serious.

"Um...Ye...you...oh~hi!" Yue didn't know how to organize the words.

"Don't worry, mother. I haven't told anyone about this. You are the first one to know. I just found the raw materials for making pottery by the river. So I told you and discussed it with you."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't tell anyone! I..."

"What aren't you going to tell me?" Ming and the three beasts came back after harvesting the wheat.

moon……

"It's a secret! A secret between my mother and me! I won't tell you!" Shi Erye responded with a smile.

"Ah~ Right, right, right... Don't ask about the secrets between females. We're all back. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Yue also helped to retort.

They were all eager to eat and didn't ask any more questions.

After setting out the food, they filled the three animals' large bamboo bowls with food and put them aside. The three of them then began to enjoy the meal.

Mm! It's still a delicious meal! This is how food should taste. How could I feel good when I was a single animal before? I really can't stand the days without little females anymore. Ming thought to himself.

Although Yue had something on her mind, in order not to cause trouble to Ye, she still acted like usual. Ye was a family member, so she couldn't let him know. Walls have ears, and even though there were no outsiders, it was right to be cautious.

The three beasts are not in the mood to think, they only want to eat! I am the soul eating beast!

Fried fish was the most popular. Fortunately, Ye secretly saved some, wrapped it in animal skins, and took it home for Yue. Otherwise, not even the residue would be left. The most exaggerated thing was that Haha Wolf King buried his head in the bamboo basket of fried fish and had a big cleansing.

Eh~ uh… this bamboo basket is for you, I don’t want it anymore…

A wolf: Since you are giving it to me sincerely, I will accept it without any difficulty. Although I am handsome and charming...

A tiger shows its claws...

A wolf ran away... "Awoo~" "Haha~ It runs fast and I can't hit it~Awoo~" A stone hit his forehead, and the old swelling didn't go away, and a new one appeared.

Shi Erye: "Ah~ If you don't commit suicide, you won't die~"
