My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

"In the small garden, dig and dig. Plant small seeds and small flowers will bloom. In the big garden, dig and dig. Plant big seeds and big flowers will bloom..."

Under the fence, a small figure was humming a song, with flower seedlings and various tools beside him, and was busy working.

When Yue brought Erdiao to the yard, she saw this scene.

"Ye! What are you doing?" Yue waved away the two eagles beside him, walked closer to Er Ye and asked.

Shi Erye turned around with the shovel in his hand, and seeing Yue, he also put down his work and stood up. "Mom, Mom, please sit down!" Shi Erye wiped his hands, asked Yue to sit on the bamboo chair, and poured her some water.

Shi Erye sat down beside Yue and held Yue's arm. "Ming came home last night and brought me a bunch of camellia flowers. I think the colors are very festive. I was thinking of planting them in the yard to see if they can survive?" Shi Erye replied.

"Hey! Is it so troublesome? Why don't you let Ming do it? Is he gone? Why didn't I see him?" Yue looked around, but didn't see Ming, and there was some dissatisfaction on her face.

"Ming is busy. He is digging a hole in the cave behind! I have nothing to do anyway~" Shi Erye said.

"Oh? That's right! He lived there alone before, and the cave was a little small. Now it can be expanded to store more things, so it will be more comfortable during the cold season." Yue said after drinking some water.

"Yes, that's right. Has mother eaten? Didn't father and the others come with you?" Shi Erye asked.

"Hey~!" Yue held back Shi Erye who was about to get up to get some snacks and fruits. "Don't bother, I came here with Erdiao after dinner. Your father and the others..." He looked around and lowered his voice to whisper in Shi Erye's ear, "All the grain has been collected. They are busy processing it at home while it is still dry. The tools you told Ming to use have all been made. With the millstone and stone mill, it not only saves time and effort, but also makes the rice and wheat flour very fine! I couldn't help but cook some last night. I don't need to chew it with my teeth, I can just drink it and fill my stomach." He took out two large animal skin bags. "Look! I brought this for you. When Ming has time, I'll pack the rest back." Yue said.

"You put it directly in water and boiled it to drink?" Shi Erye's eyelids twitched. He asked in disbelief.

"Oh, yes! It's quite soft."

Uh... How could it not be soft? It was all stewed into a paste.

"Um... Mom, actually, flour is much better when made into buns, noodles, and dumplings. I'll make them today, just wait and see. I guarantee it will taste better than porridge." Erye stood up while saying this. "Mom, I'll go and let the dough rise first, and we'll make buns today!"

"Hey! Okay." Yue said to Shi Erye, she was very curious about the buns. She followed her into the house and learned the steps.

Shi Erye took out the pottery pot, poured in the flour, added water and kneaded it until the flour was evenly mixed. Kneaded it into a smooth, non-sticky dough, put it on the table by the window, covered it with a lid, and waited for it to ferment.

Then, Shi Erye began to prepare the fillings. Season the blanched wild vegetables with salt and chop them with the oil residue. Chop the mushrooms, lean meat, and chili peppers, add onions and garlic, and season with salt. Okay, we are ready to make two buns with different fillings.

Put a pot on the stove and add water, then put a steamer on top. Turn on the fire and heat it up. Then take a look at the dough. When it is warm, open the lid. "Mom, come and see. The dough for steaming buns, you see, pull it up with your hands. If it is full of honeycombs, it means it has risen. Next, let's make buns."

As he said this, he took out the dough and kneaded it vigorously to get rid of the air inside. If it is sticky, sprinkle some dry flour and continue kneading. "Okay, the dough is ready to be kneaded like this. Roll it into long strips and cut into fist-sized pieces. Flatten one piece of dough and put the filling inside. Slowly pinch out folds, and that's it! Ding ding ding... The first bun is ready. Mother, you can try it too!" Shi Erye said to the moon.

"Okay!" Yue couldn't hold back any longer and was eager to try. She followed Shi Erye's example and started to wrap the buns. However, imagination is beautiful, but the process is bumpy. After several attempts, under Shi Erye's guidance, Yue finally wrapped a big bun with 18 folds.

"I learned it! I made this! Look! The folds are so perfect! I'll take them home to Wei and Ya after they're steamed." Yue held the steamed buns that she had finally made and started to brag about them excitedly.

"Well! Mother is so great! You learned it so quickly, you are so capable." Shi Erye also raised his thumb and praised generously.

Yue put the buns in the steamer. "Ye is still the best teacher. I can't wait to see them steamed. I'll make a few more. Ye, leave this to me, you go and steam the buns." Yue said confidently.

"Okay! Then boil the water and I'll put the buns in. Take your time, don't be in a hurry. I'll also make some soup and stir-fry two dishes, and you can eat them with the buns later." Shi Erye said.

"Yes! Yes, go ahead, go ahead, you can trust me to do the job." Yue said, and made a gesture to her, following Shi Erye's newly learned OK gesture.

Soon, the aroma of dumplings wafted from the steamer. The chili oil and vegetable egg soup that Shi Erye had made were also ready.

The month is over, and it's time to make dumplings. I'm cleaning up the cooking utensils and the table.

"Mom, the first basket of buns is steamed. I picked it up, you can try it first to see how it tastes. The second basket has just been put in, you don't have to worry about it. I'll go call Ming to come home for dinner." Shi Erye said.

"Well! You go quickly, and come back quickly with Ming. I'll wait for you to eat together!" Yue said.

Opening the door, "Wow!~" The three big ones were stuck outside the door. Fortunately, they dodged quickly and almost crushed her. Looking at the one pressed at the bottom, acting as a meat cushion, Shi Erye thought with great relief.

"Ah~ Woo!" "Silly eagle! Hurry up! I'm about to be crushed into a meat patty, you two need to lose weight. Ouch~ my waist~"

The two eagles quickly got up and helped Haha, who was lying on the ground, up! The three beasts felt guilty and left the house and waited outside. "It smells so good~ I knew that if I followed the female, I would have enough food to eat! Slurp~"

Shi Erye saw the excitement on the faces of the three guys. He glanced at the kitchen and understood instantly. "Oh~ So you are three foodies! But I can't do that now. I want to ask your brother to go home. He is still hungry. Wait!" After saying that, he ignored the three guys and went straight to the cave.

"Ouch~owoo~"

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”

Just wait, good food never comes late, when the time comes, we can go to the kitchen window and call, so we don't have to worry about not having meat. The three beasts exchanged glances, and they had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Ming~Brother~come home for dinner!" The voice came before Erye's man arrived.

When we entered the cave, all the things were piled up on both sides of the cave entrance, leaving a path wide enough for two people in the middle. Walking in, there were piles of stones on the east and west. "Ming~ Let's go home for dinner!"

"Hmm?" No response? This shouldn't be the case. Shi Erye continued to walk inside, and the pile of stones became less. "So it's already been dug so deep! It's completely enough!" There was no light ahead, it was pitch black, Shi Erye rubbed his arms, feeling a little cold.

"Ming~Ming! Are you there? Ming~" Shi Erye was a little scared. She was afraid of the dark. Ming, is there anything wrong? She took out a lighter from the space and held it in her hand. Overcoming her inner fear, she slowly walked into the dark cave.

In the dark cave, Shi Erye could only feel the sound of her own heartbeat. Silence, darkness, and timidity were her most intuitive feelings. Biting her lip, she was still stiff and walked on the road to find light.

"Ah!" With a scream, Shi Erye tripped over something and rushed forward, waving his hands.

The pain he imagined did not appear! A warm hand hugged him from the waist. In the darkness, Shi Erye did not feel the joy of surviving the catastrophe. He screamed and struggled.

"Ye! Ye! It's me!" Ming was far away. Hearing Shi Erye's scream, he instantly moved to her side and supported her. Before he could say anything, Shi Erye started to struggle. Thinking that Ye did not have the ability of night vision, Ming guessed that he had scared her and quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Ming?" Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Erye asked excitedly. With trembling hands, he lit the lighter! "It's really you!"

"Wow~" Shi Erye couldn't hold back any longer and started crying. "You scared me to death. You know, I called you outside and you didn't answer me. I was worried about you and came in to find you. It was so dark and I was so scared. You ignored me... woooo... hiccup..." Shi Erye cried and hiccuped as he told his grievances.

Ming felt distressed and touched, hugged her, patted her back and said, "Well, it's all my fault, I won't do it again. How could I ignore Ye? When I heard your voice, I hurriedly moved to your side in an instant! I made you worry, you can punish me however you want!"

Ming picked up Shi Erye like a princess and took her to a bright place outside. Finally, they were back to the bright place. Although her eyes were still a little uncomfortable at first, Shi Erye was no longer so scared. Her emotions calmed down.

"Ye, are you feeling better?" Ming hugged her and comforted her.

"Well, I'm better now. You're so annoying. You dug so deep and so far, and it was so dark and cold. I called you but you didn't respond. I thought something happened to you. Only I went to find you alone." Shi Erye expressed his dissatisfaction with Ming.

"Okay, it's my fault. I'm glad that You Ye came to see me, but don't do this next time. You stand in the light, and I will be in the darkness, guarding Ye!" Ming kissed Shi Erye's head and made his vow.

"But..." She looked at Ming with wet almond eyes.

"No buts," Ming interrupted her for the first time. He said to Shi Erye seriously, "Just believe me, Ye! Ye, say you believe me!"

Looking at Ming who was serious and persistent, Shi Erye opened his mouth and said, "I believe in you, I believe in Ming!"

A gentle smile appeared on his serious face again. He leaned over and gently touched the corners of Shi Erye's mouth, nose, and forehead. "You are really my good baby! I will always love you, Ye!" Ming expressed his love affectionately.
