After returning home, Tian Shounian poured the fish from the trap onto the ground, and only then could he see clearly what was inside.

There were five crucian carps, each weighing more than one kilogram.

The big turtle weighs more than one kilogram.

There were eight crabs, each weighing about 250 grams.

In addition, there are a lot of whitebait, many small fish and snails.

When Zhaocai saw the crab, he became curious and reached out to touch it. As a result, the crab pinched his foot and he screamed in pain.

Tian Youyou rescued it and didn't allow them to get close.

She killed two fish skillfully, one for soup and the other for braised.

The crabs were also steamed.

The whitebait and small fish are directly dried in the sun.

The golden cat sat next to the drying fish and stretched out its paw to touch the fish several times, but when it thought of Tian Youyou's words, it silently retracted its paw and licked it awkwardly.

Tian Youyou observed it for a while, and seeing this, she went over and took two fish for it.

The golden cat turned its head away proudly, "I don't want to eat it."

Tian Youyou dangled the fish in front of it, "You really don't want to eat it?"

How could the golden cat bear such temptation? Its eyes kept turning back and forth as it stared at the fish...

Tian Youyou helplessly threw the fish in front of it and said, "Eat it."

The golden cat turned around and said, "Are you really giving it to me?"

Tian Youyou nodded, "Yeah."

The golden cat looked at her for a while before stretching out its two paws and holding the two fish she handed over.

"Baji, Baji, delicious."

“It’s delicious.”

"It smells so good." Jiang Xiuxiu took the fish soup and took a deep sniff.

The fish soup is very simple to make. It only uses green onions, ginger and salt, but it becomes milky white and thick, without any fishy smell.

Take a bite of the fish, the meat is tender and tastes delicious.

"Dad, let's eat this braised dish."

The braised fish is spicy and flavorful, with firm meat and not fishy or dry.

"Youyou, what is this?" Tian Shounian pointed at the crab curiously.

“This is a crab.”

Tian Shounian looked at it in amazement, "This is a crab."

They had heard of crabs but had never seen or eaten them.

"Try it." Tian Youyou gestured to Tian Shounian to eat one.

Tian Shounian took one, but didn't know how to start. When he turned it over and over again, he was pricked by a crab.

"What is this..." He put it back unhappily, "I can't eat it."

"Only the wealthy and the literati... would have nothing better to do than eat this kind of food."

Tian Youyou glanced at Jiang Xiuxiu and said, "Mom, you can't eat crabs even if you are pregnant, so..."

"I'll send these crabs to Uncle Fang."

She quickly finished her bowl of rice and picked up the plate of crabs.

Before leaving, he reminded Tian Shounian, "Dad, after dinner, you should give two fish to the elders of the clan, and take the big turtle with you as well."

"Is this a crab?" Fang Sihai opened the gate and saw the food on the plate. "Where did it come from?"

Tian Youyou handed him the plate and said, "I put a trap in the water."

This season is the time to eat crabs.

After giving the crab to Fang Sihai, Tian Youyou prepared to leave.

But Fang Sihai stopped her and said, "Youyou, come in. I want to tell you something."

Tian Youyou followed him into the house.

It was not the first time she had seen the luxurious equipment in the house, so she was not surprised.

"Uncle Fang, you are drinking."

There were three dishes to go with the wine, but none of them were touched.

Fang Sihai put the crab down and Xiao Yao reached out to take it.

He hasn't eaten crabs for a long time since leaving home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my hand touched the crab, it was slapped by a small hand.

Xiao Yao retracted his hand and looked at Tian Youyou in disbelief, "What are you doing?"

Tian Youyou moved the crab plate further away from him and said, "You are weak, you can't eat crabs."

"I..." Xiao Yao wanted to say that his body was not weak, but...

But the next second, he couldn't help coughing.

Tian Youyou subconsciously moved closer and patted him on the back, "I told you that you are weak, but you still don't accept it. Take a look."

Fang Sihai held back his laughter and looked at the two of them.

Fang Sihai spoke only after Xiao Yao stopped coughing.

"Youyou, I'm leaving Xiaohegou Village tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will take a month or two before I can come back."

"I would like you to help take care of my young master."

Tian Youyou looked at Xiao Yao. He had a calm expression, showing no emotion at all.

"Is it okay? Yoyo?"

Tian Youyou retracted her gaze and said, "Sure."

Uncle Fang helped her after all, he also helped her.

"What am I going to do?" she asked.

“It’s mainly three meals a day.”

“And I go to the county twice a month to buy medicinal herbs and food.”

"He can do the rest on his own."

After Tian Youyou took note of it, Fang Sihai personally sent her out.

"I'll come early tomorrow morning." Tian Youyou assured him, "Don't worry, Uncle Fang. When you come back, I promise that Xiao Yao will be plump and white."

"Okay, okay." Fang Sihai smiled.

Back in the house, Xiao Yao stared at him.

"What are you looking at?" Fang Sihai sat down, picked up a crab, and tasted it slowly.

"You have to leave for one or two months every year, why do you let her come?" Xiao Yao asked.

Fang Sihai broke off the crab legs and said, "Before was before, this year is this year."

"I'll be away for two months this time, so you can have some time to develop your relationship."

"It would be best if, when I come back, you have already..."

Fang Sihai raised his eyebrows, and that look... was ambiguous and obscene.

Xiao Yao turned his head away unnaturally, "Don't talk nonsense."

After a moment, Xiao Yao whispered, "Don't tell Aunt Yun too much when you go back this time, lest she be sad."

"She knows your health better than anyone else."

When Tian Youyou returned home, she found a bowl of Jerusalem artichoke pickles and a cup of Jerusalem artichoke flower tea on the table.

Jiang Xiuxiu was happy with the meal. "Mom still thinks this pickle goes well with rice. Youyou, when can we go to the mountain to dig some more?"

"And this flower tea, it's sweet and delicious."

Tian Youyou was also thinking about the Jerusalem artichoke. "It may be too late today. Maybe tomorrow."

Jiang Xiuxiu put down her bowl and chopsticks and touched her stomach with satisfaction.

"Youyou, this Jerusalem artichoke is so delicious. Mom was thinking, why don't we pickle more and send them to the county to sell."

"what do you think?"

This idea coincided with Tian Youyou's, she thought the same.

There are few vegetables in winter, mostly cabbage and radishes, and the yield is not high. Often, there is no vegetables to eat before spring comes.

She had looked at it that day and saw that there were a lot of Jerusalem artichokes in that field.

The yield of Jerusalem artichokes was also astonishingly large. She only dug up three plants that day, but they filled half a basket.

In addition, Jerusalem artichokes will not rot even if they are not dug up for the time being.

So her family could go up the mountain and dig a part every day until the beginning of spring.

But if you want to pickle Jerusalem artichokes and sell them, you have to use a large vat.

You also need to buy pickling seasonings, such as salt, sugar, spices, and preferably garlic and chili peppers.

The key is that the Jerusalem artichoke flowers have not yet faded, so it is not the best time to harvest them.

But before harvesting Jerusalem artichokes, you can...

"Mom, there's no rush to pickle these pickles. Let's go pick the flowers first."

“When the flowers fade, it’s time to dig up the roots.”

"Okay." Jiang Xiuxiu agreed immediately, "Then pick some flowers first. This flower tea tastes good."
