Every family had a good harvest, with more than a dozen fish of all sizes.

Now that he is no longer burdened by Old Lady Liu, Jiang Jinheng feels much better after a day of rest yesterday and today.

I also went down to the river and caught a few.

The fact that a weak scholar could catch fish only shows that the fish in the ancient river were too stupid. Normally, no one caught them, so they were so stupid.

Look, he was caught as soon as he came.

Unlike the fish raised in modern rivers, which have become spirits and are harder to catch than pigs during the Chinese New Year.

All the policemen have martial arts experience and work all year round, so they are strong.

Catching fish is too easy for them.

Each person had two strings on their hands and several large ones hanging around their waists.

Everyone was smiling happily. Although the fish was a bit fishy, ​​it was still meat after all.

Although the officials had no worries about food and drink during their exile, it was difficult for them to eat well.

We are all grown-up guys, who doesn’t want to eat meat every day?

The team of several hundred people happily returned to the temple, boiled water and cooked fish.

While the men were catching fish, the women and maids cleaned and processed the fish on the shore.

Just use a sharp stone to cut open the fish's belly, throw away the internal organs, and pick out the gills.

Because there were few varieties of seasonings in ancient times, medicinal herbs could be used as seasonings at that time without being discovered.

So most people roast it, which will reduce the fishy smell a lot, and you can just sprinkle a little salt on it and eat it.

Everyone knows the importance of salt to the human body, which is why the royal family of all dynasties has had such strict control over salt mines.

So when we were in the county town, every family asked the officials to buy salt, and the salt was in jars, so it didn't get wet by the rain.

Jiang Xue also made a fire and grilled the fish. Each of the four fish weighed four pounds, which was quite big.

Jiang Yue gave two pieces to Jiang Xue. When Jiang Xue grilled the fish, she spread some honey on them and sprinkled some of the seasoning that Jiang Yue had given her last time.

Jiang Yue poured oil into the small bamboo pot and sprinkled some salt in it.

After washing the two fish, drain the water and put them in while the oil is still hot.

Fry both sides until golden brown and the fish skin is crispy.

Then he poured in a palm-sized amount of rice wine to remove the fishy smell, and poured in the mineral water in the water bag, filling up the whole pot.

Cover and start cooking the fish.

Jiang Xue watched her take out one small bottle after another from her bag, all made of glass.

She was very surprised, "Third sister, you brought so many seasonings with you when you went out? Did you buy them from foreign countries?"

Jiang Yue showed her the bottles. These were the mini oil bottles and seasoning bottles that people would buy when traveling nowadays.

"I bought all of this from foreigners. They're so rich, and they use colored glass. They say it's better and more beautiful than our clay pots. This is oil, and this is rice wine. They say it's made from chopped green onions and other things, and it can remove the fishy smell."

Jiang Xue and Aunt Zhao looked at it and gave it back to her, "There are so many good things in foreign countries. I've only heard that foreigners look very different from us, with blue eyes and golden hair."

Aunt Zhao continued, "Yes, foreigners do have a lot of strange and unusual things, so it's no surprise that they have so many seasonings. And many of the states we'll pass through will have foreigners doing business there."

The Xia Kingdom is a great country, and its emperor is wise and benevolent, and is open to trade.

As long as you have a clean background and do business honestly in Xia Country, the country will provide you with preferential policies.

Of course, the government also has strict control over these foreigners.

As they were talking, they smelled the aroma of grilled fish and fish soup.

Jiang Xue kept turning the grilled fish and took one for Jiang Yue and the other one.

Xiao Zhu opened the lid, and the fresh aroma of fish rushed into everyone's noses, making their mouths water.

Two bowls were served to Jiang Xue and her daughter, and they sat down and started drinking the soup.

It tastes so good. This fish is not polluted and is not fed with feed. It is naturally grown fish and it tastes so good.

The soup was cooked to a milky white color, and the fish had no fishy smell at all. Jiang Xue and her daughter kept praising Jiang Yue for her good cooking skills.

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, thought that grilled fish was delicious too.

It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the spicy aroma of thirteen spices and a hint of sweetness.

Really delicious!

The entire front yard of the temple was filled with the aroma of fish. If you have never tasted the most delicious fish, these can naturally be considered delicacies. If you have tried their fish soup and grilled fish, you probably won’t be able to eat the fish in your hand.

Ha ha. . . . . .

It was already past two in the afternoon after we finished eating. I didn’t have to rush today, so I had a rare moment of free time.

Aunt Zhao took out needle and thread to sew Jiang Xue's worn shoes. Xiao Zhu also took needle and thread and followed Aunt Zhao to sew clothes for her young lady.

Jiang Yue was a little bored, so she took out an ancient edition of a novel she bought at a bookstore from her bag.

"A Talented Man Meets a Beautiful Woman".

Oh~ For an old bookworm like Jiang Yue, this name really tells the content just by looking at the name.

There’s no way, I can’t take out my phone to read novels.

I have been traveling every day these days, and occasionally I can watch the good shows of the Jiang family's eldest wife, but I don't miss her novels that much.

But today, as soon as I have some free time, I want to touch my phone!

This is a common problem among modern young people!

I can only kill time by reading this kind of old-fashioned story.

Sitting on the hay with his back against the wall, Jiang Yue began to try to turn his attention to the book in his hand.

Jiang Xue asked her amusedly, "Third sister, you actually like reading books? You have to bring them with you when you go into exile. Let me see what book it is."

I walked to the side and tilted my head, and saw the title of this book...

He looked at her with an indescribable expression, "Third sister, what kind of messed up book are you reading? Don't let it lead you astray."

Jiang Yue looked up at her and said, "No, this is just a book. It's all about the yearning for beautiful love.

Since it is a yearning, it must be a love that can only be encountered by chance. If every couple could love each other till old age, there wouldn't be so many people writing about it.

There's no harm in reading these books; you can learn more about how men seduce young ladies and what tactics they use, so you won't be easily deceived by men in the future."

Jiang Xue thought about it and felt that this made some sense.

I didn’t expect that my third sister has such insight at such a young age. She will definitely not be deceived by any man’s sweet words in the future.

In fact, Jiang Yue was thinking that she would never look for a husband in ancient times, not to mention natural disasters and the end of the world.

Take ancient times for example, which man didn’t have three wives and four concubines?

Things like "a lifetime, a couple" shown on TV only exist on TV and in novels.

Why are the seven words "a lifetime, a pair" so attractive? It is because it is difficult to be alone for a lifetime in the real world.

Even modern monogamy cannot guarantee that two people can live together for a lifetime, let alone in ancient times.

It is legal to take a concubine. If the wife disagrees, she can be divorced and said to be jealous.

Men and women in this era were taught that having three wives and four concubines was inevitable for a man.

Even if a man does not take a concubine, the mistress has to take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.

This makes the mistress appear magnanimous, and she even has a reputation for being magnanimous.

The wife has to endure the grief in her heart and fight with the concubine for her whole life. It’s tiring just thinking about it.

She won't do it!
