Chapter 17: Achieving Fish Freedom

"Xier, how do you cook this fish?" the aunt asked.

"Auntie, watch me do it. I can't explain it clearly." After saying that, Yang Mingxi scooped half a bucket of water and prepared to wash the pot, only to find that there was no pot for him to use. The Yang family was large, so whether cooking or preparing dishes, they all used a large pot. A fire hole connected to three large pots. Generally, the outermost one was for steaming rice, the middle one was for boiling water, and the innermost one was for cooking. This made it easier to control the heat.

Now, there are things in the three pots on the stove! Yang Mingxi turned to look at her aunt, and just as she was about to ask, Li Shi also noticed it. She smiled and patted her thigh, and shouted outside: "Mingyong, come and help me get the hot water out. Your sixth aunt and the others will be back soon, just in time to wash their faces." As she shouted, she moved swiftly to free up the big pot in the middle.

Yang Mingyong took the water out and saw so many fish. He smiled and said, "Sister Xi, Sixth Brother will make a fire for you. What kind of fire do you want?"

Yang Mingxi also smiled innocently. She really didn't know how to make a fire. Cousin Yong was really a timely help! "Big fire, Cousin Yong, I'll use the middle pot."

Yang Mingyong quickly lit the fire. Yang Mingxi added a little lard and a large spoonful of homemade soybean paste, stir-frying until fragrant. He then scooped a few scoops of well water into the pot, preparing to pour the fish in. Li saw this and quickly brought over a basin, poured one basin of fish in, and Yang Mingxi followed with another basin. She then said to Li, "That's it. Cook the fish in cold water, don't stir it in the middle, and let the water rise before cooking for another quarter of an hour. Then it's ready to be served. It's delicious this way!"

The aunt nodded and said, "Okay, I can take care of the back, you go do something else!" Then she said to Yang Mingyong, "Put some more thick firewood, and then go check, it's time to prepare dinner!"

At this moment, the large group that had gone up the mountain also came back, each of them carrying prey. They came into the yard talking and laughing, and piled the prey in the corner outside the kitchen, forming a small hill!

Uncle Qi smacked his lips, then took a deep breath and shouted, "Sister-in-law, what did you do? It smells so good!"

The children immediately rushed into the kitchen, shouting, "We're starving! Hurry up and eat!" People from each room went back to bring basins to serve food. Yang Laoqi was the first to go in. Seeing the pot full of fish, he smiled from ear to ear.

Li took a ladle and scooped up some fish for Yang Laoqi and said, "There's still a lot of fish cooked by Xi girl. There's plenty of fish meat today. Take some home and eat it first. After you finish eating, you can put it in the pot."

Yang Mingxi also carried a basin and followed his eldest brother to get food. Suddenly, he remembered that his third brother had not returned yet, so he handed the basin to Yang Minghu and said, "Brother, you carry it first. I'll go call the third brother, the fourth brother, and the younger brother Chao to come back for dinner. They are still fishing."

Yang Mingxi ran to the river and found that Yang Mingyu had processed half of the fish in the vegetable basket, while the other two guys were still catching fish in the river! Yang Mingxi immediately got a headache. There were so many, she couldn't eat them all, she couldn't eat them all, she couldn't eat them all!

Then he told the third brother to put the fish in the basket in the river, and he carried the processed fish and called the two wet boys home for dinner!

Back in the main hall of the fifth room, everyone was eating, sitting around a packed table. Wu was helping his sixth brother pick fish bones when Yang Minghu immediately stood up, scooped a bowl full of fish, and handed it to Yang Mingxi, nodding as he gestured for her to sit in the seat of Yang Mingyang, who had also stood up. Then came Yang Mingyu, who had a bowl of fish, and Yang Minghao, who had a bowl of fish. He scooped the remaining fish into Wu and Yang Mingmo's bowls and walked towards the kitchen, carrying the basin.

It was the eldest wife's turn to cook these days. My aunt-in-law was a skilled worker. Since they only had four sons, she was especially fond of Yang Mingjiang's wife, Lei, who had just given birth six months earlier. She cooked almost all of her meals, occasionally asking her son to help light the fire. Today, because she had to cook another pot of fish, the eldest wife ate directly in the kitchen.

When Yang Minghu entered the kitchen, he heard his aunt say, "Ah Hu, you guys in the fifth room are eating too slowly. Your sixth uncle has already come and taken away another pot. Now only your fifth room has not had any left. Scoop it out yourself, and scoop as much as you can! I'll cook the rest after you scoop it out. The fish Xi prepared is so delicious!"

Yang Minghu scooped up a basin full of fish and carried it back to the fifth room. Li cooked all the remaining fish and told everyone to come back if they didn't have enough!

Yang Mingxi ate two large bowls of fish, and then mixed half a bowl of corn and rice with the fish soup, and ate until her stomach was full and her waist was round.
