A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

I couldn't persuade Aunt He, so I asked them to help.

Aunt He and Uncle Li brought over the two fishes, and Shen Wu got his turn for a fried bun last.

Several people were setting the table. Gu Zhou woke up and stood at the door, holding it and watching them.

"Uncle, Aunt"

Gu Zhou just woke up and spoke in a low voice. He looked much better than in the morning, but his face was still a little pale.

He was so thin that his hand on the door frame almost didn't hold firmly.

Shen Wu was a little worried. The child seemed really exhausted after sleeping for so long. He asked with concern, "Are you awake? Do you want to eat some food I cooked?"

Gu Zhou nodded. He was not hungry at first, but for some reason Shen Wu's question made him want to try it.

"Just wake up, it'll be fine, just wake up, it'll be fine"

Aunt He observed Gu Zhou's expression from the side, and nodded with relief when she saw that he was almost well.

Uncle Li went over to help Gu sit down, and took the opportunity to feel his body. This kid is too weak, his arms are almost bones, and he must have endured this period of time.

Shen Wu asked everyone to sit down and taste her cooking.

Uncle Li and Aunt He didn't care about so many rules. They sat down together with a smile on their faces.

Gu Wei sat aside and looked at them obediently.

"Is my brother still sleeping?"

Shen Wu asked quietly, but before Gu Wei could answer, Aunt He spoke first: "He was sleeping. He woke up for a while when you were busy, then he went out with him and played for a while before going back to sleep."

She felt relieved now and realized that she hadn't invited the guests to eat yet, so she quickly said: "Uncle and aunt, please pick up your chopsticks! You are the guests today, please go first."

We were all farmers, so there was no need to follow the rules and we just picked up our chopsticks to taste the food.

Aunt He had never eaten such delicious fish, with spicy and fresh flavor.

The fish flavor mixed with the special burnt aroma makes you want to taste more. The other dish of fish is even more original and fresh, with no extra seasoning, only basic salty flavor added. The fish meat is permeated with the aroma of green onion and ginger, and the sweetness emerges under the salty taste if you taste it carefully.

The bottom of the fried buns is crispy and fragrant, while the top is soft and fluffy.

The aroma of the meat filling overflows in your mouth as soon as you put it in. The surface of the pancake is fried until golden brown but it tastes extremely soft and fragrant. It is a perfect match with the salty and fragrant bamboo shoots and refreshing wild vegetables.

The noodle soup is the highlight. After eating all these, you can have a sip of soup to moisten your mouth. The plain noodle soup itself becomes a bright embellishment.

I didn't expect that an illness would cause such drastic changes in the child. Aunt He was amazed how all this happened.

"I've cooked fish before but it was always fishy. It's not as delicious as yours. It seems the fishy smell has disappeared."

Li Youfu did not expect that Yuwa's fall this time was so different from the past. He had only eaten these dishes at the house of the mountain master. Not to mention that his wife was curious, he was also curious about how they were cooked.

Shen Wu was not very hungry and did not eat much. Looking at Gu Zhou who was obviously hungry and Gu Wei who was eating with her head down, he put down his chopsticks and started to explain to Aunt He and Uncle Li.

"One of these two fish has been specially marinated. Fresh fish are caught from the lake and are still alive when they are slaughtered. The black film inside the fish's belly must be removed cleanly, otherwise it will smell very fishy. The fresher the fish, the better. Fish from clean lakes will have less fishy smell. I also went to pick fresh wild ginger and wild onions, crushed them and stuffed them into the fish's belly for marinating. I rubbed coarse salt all over the body to create the base flavor, and then added two kinds of peppers. Just marinate it for a while."

After saying this, she took a sip of soup to moisten her mouth and continued, "After doing all this, this is only half of it. Lubricate the pan with lard and add onions, ginger and garlic to sauté until fragrant. When the aroma comes out, push the ingredients aside, then put the fish in and fry it. When one side is golden brown and has a charred skin, turn it over and continue frying on the other side. After both sides are done, add hot water to cover the fish and stew it. Wait for about ten minutes, and when the water is about half of the fish body, you can prepare to take it out of the pot. If the taste is not good enough at this time, just add a little coarse salt."

After hearing this, Aunt He felt that it is not easy to make delicious food: "So it is so troublesome. I thought it would take so much trouble to make such delicious fish."

As for what Shen Wu said about more than ten minutes? Although she didn't understand what it meant, she roughly understood the meaning.

Li Youfu also felt that it was not easy to cook a small fish deliciously.

Gu Zhou was eating fish in silence. He didn't know what he was thinking when Jiang Yu said these words. He looked down at the table full of food with a dull look.

"What about the other one? Why is it sweet?"

Aunt He was very curious about how this was done.

Shen Wu: "It's very simple. For this, use the same method of putting chopped green onion and ginger into the fish's belly. But this fish is steamed, so add a little bit of coarse salt, put it in the pot with cold water, and wait for about ten minutes before boiling it. Fish itself has a sweet taste, and a little coarse salt is added to make it salty so that it doesn't taste sweet when it comes out of the pot. There isn't much salt, so when you eat it, it will taste sweet if you taste it carefully."

"So that's how it is! I really learned something."

Aunt He wants to try making it for her son when she has time. She wants him to have a taste of such delicious fish.

Shen Wu seemed to be glowing as she was describing the ritual. Her dark body seemed to have suddenly gained infinite energy, and she was not as thin as she looked.

In fact, the fish still has a fishy smell, but they have never eaten it cooked in this way, so the subtle fishy smell seems to be non-existent.

Seeing that Uncle Li and Aunt He both liked it, Shen Wu smiled and said, "My skills are just average. It's good as long as uncle and aunt like it. There are a lot of urgent things to do at home. If it weren't for uncle and aunt's help today, I really wouldn't be able to handle it."

Li Youfu was a little embarrassed. It was common for farmers to help each other. You help me and I help you. If you can't help me, give me an egg or something. Yuwazi even made a table for me.

"If there is any, we didn't do anything. Yuwa, you are very capable and you finished harvesting the wheat by yourself. We just helped to move the place."

"Uncle and aunt are really polite. I am a child who can harvest wheat, but if you ask me to move things, I will definitely not be able to do it. Fortunately, uncle came in time, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"And today, my aunt came to help me take care of Zhou and my younger brother. I, a child, didn't know what was wrong with him. I just knew that he had a hot head and was staggering when he walked. I didn't know if he was tired or had an attack. I was so scared before my aunt came, because my younger brother had to take care of the work in the fields. I felt relieved when my aunt came to help me."

Aunt He was very relieved when she heard Jiang Yu's call. The brat had finally grown up and knew how to take care of his family and do things.

She had to go back and make a special trip to thank the temple gods for helping her, her neighbor's child, grow up sensible.

Li Youfu nodded, this fall was a blessing.

Gu Wei didn't understand what they were saying, but she knew the food was delicious. However, she also knew how terrible fish bones were, so she concentrated on picking out the bones while eating the fish.

She felt so happy as she ate bamboo shoots and buns and drank noodle soup.

Gu Zhou put down his chopsticks after eating very little and concentrated on drinking up the noodle soup in the bowl.

After the meal, Aunt He witnessed the change in Jiang Yu with her own eyes. Holding the buns that were forced upon her, she and her old man walked home and lamented the impermanence of the world. Why did this happen so badly after Madam Xue's death?
