I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Previously, the small river at the east end of the village was full of small fish the size of a palm. In the summer, the Lin family had a lot of them. Unexpectedly, they caught such a big fish when winter was almost approaching, which was bigger than the ones they usually caught.

At this moment, not only Lin Changping, but also Lin's father and Lin Qingshan had a look of joy on their faces. Looking at the fish they caught in the morning, they all had smiles on their faces.

Lin Yunchu raised the corner of his mouth, took two steps forward and looked into the bucket on the ground.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but it's really a surprise when you do.

I saw that there were quite a few fish in the bucket. There was indeed a fish as big as my arm, and the others were also quite big. It was so full that it actually filled up half the bucket.

Lin Yunchu was delighted, it seemed that there would be no problem with the new food he was going to make today.

"Yun Chu, what is this new food you mentioned? Shall we start making it now?"

Lin Changping looked excited. Lin Yunchu was a good cook and everything he made was delicious. He couldn't wait to eat the delicious food.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingshan slapped him on the head.

"Why are you rushing me? Can't you see that lunch is ready? Eat lunch first. It's not too late to work after you're full."

At this time, smoke was curling up from the kitchen and the aroma of rice was wafting out. After a busy morning, Lin Qingshan and his friends were already starving, their stomachs rumbling.

"hey-hey!"

"got it."

Lin Changping muttered, rubbed his head which was hurt by the slap, and looked angry but dared not speak.

However, after hearing what Lin Qingshan said, he touched his stomach and found that he was really hungry. He was so focused on eating the new food made by Lin Yunchu that he forgot that it was already noon.

It's time for lunch too.

"Let's have lunch first. We can start working after we're full. There's no rush."

Lin Yunchu saw that everyone was a little tired, so he decided to eat first and rest for a while. There was no rush to eat the new food.

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, everyone didn't delay any longer. They quickly finished their lunch and sat in the yard, looking at the half bucket of fish they had caught in the morning and started to discuss.

"Yun Chu, what new food are you planning to make? How should we prepare it?"

They knew nothing about cooking, so they just waited for Lin Yunchu to give the order and did whatever he told them to do.

Lin Yunchu looked at the fish in the bucket with a look of delight. When he heard the question, he immediately curled his lips, raised his chin and said softly, "Make fish balls."

Fish Ball?

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. They all knew that the pork meatballs made in the snack shop were made of pork, and Lin Yunchu just said that he wanted to make fish balls.

They looked at the fish in the bucket that they had just caught that morning. As the name suggests, they used these fish to make meatballs that looked like pork meatballs, and they called them fish balls?

Lin Yunchu nodded and explained, "The finished fish balls have a delicate texture, are bouncy, and extremely delicious. They're perfect for making fish ball soup or as a hot pot ingredient."

The main reason she wanted to make fish balls this time was to create new ingredients for Yipintang’s winter hot pot.

"First, process the fish. Remove the heads, bones, tails, and stomachs."

Ever since Lin Yunchu cooked fish once, there was no earthy smell at all. The Lin family has been eating fish frequently since then, and almost everyone in the family knows how to prepare the fish.

Upon hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Lin Changping immediately responded. He knew how to deal with everything Lin Yunchu said. He rolled up his sleeves and started to deal with it.

Seeing this, Lin Qingshan and others behind him also started to get busy.

After a while, he processed most of the bucket of fish, including the few left over from yesterday, as Lin Yunchu said. Looking at the remaining fish heads and bones, Lin Changping was a little troubled.

These were all meatless and he didn't know what to do with them. He frowned slightly and looked at them for a long time.

"Brother, don't worry about that. I'll use this to make you some delicious fish soup tonight. The rest can be put in the well and kept in the fridge for tomorrow."

Now that the Lin family has a large population, they don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Moreover, these fish heads and bones are all good things. The fish soup made from them is very delicious and there is no worry about not having enough to eat.

When Lin Changping heard that Lin Yunchu had a solution, he immediately grinned and chuckled. With Lin Yunchu's words, he was no longer worried.

"Then what to do next?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yunchu, and Zhao Chunxi also looked expectant. She knew how to make pork meatballs, but she didn't know how to make fish balls.

"First, remove the ribs from the belly of the fish."

Lin Yunchu raised his hand and pointed at the piece of fish in front of him, from which the head and bones had been removed.

This is the most important thing. There are no modern machines here, so they can only scrape out the fish paste by hand. This not only prevents fish bones, but also makes the taste softer and more delicate, and it tastes more chewy.

This is a big project. Once the fish paste is scraped out, the rest will be easy to handle.

Although everyone didn't know why Lin Yunchu asked them to do this first, they still followed Lin Yunchu's instructions and got busy.

While everyone was busy in the yard, Lin Yunchu asked his cousin Pan Xiuxiu to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, while she prepared other ingredients for making fish balls.

At this time, the Lin family's yard was filled with the sound of "dong dong dong", and everyone seemed to be busy.

After a while, Lin Yunchu squatted down in the yard with the prepared things and taught everyone how to scrape out the fish paste bit by bit.

Although this step takes some effort, the fish balls made are indeed the best tasting.

Seeing Lin Yunchu's expression, everyone started to work according to what she had just said.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Lin Changping only felt his arms starting to ache slightly. He finally scraped the fish puree clean, leaving only a little red meat and fish skin at the bottom.

Lin Yunchu stretched out two fingers and picked up a small piece of scraped fish paste. It felt dense and soft, and that was about it.

Lin Yunchu found a large bowl, put the fish paste into the bowl and started to mix it.

Add the prepared onion and ginger juice, salt, and tapioca starch into a large bowl, beat in an egg, add a little water, and start stirring in one direction.

The more Lin Yunchu stirred, the more glue formed, and the greater the resistance became. She only felt sore in her arms, and it became increasingly difficult for her to stir.

"Let me do it, and you just watch and teach me how to do it."

Looking at Lin Yunchu like this, Lu Yanzhou took the chopsticks from her hand and spoke to her softly.

Lin Yunchu did not refuse at this time. She really had no strength left and had not yet finished stirring.

She raised her head, pointed at the bowl and said, "Just stir it in one direction as I did just now."
