There were still two hours before dinner, so Jiang Yu was going to make fish balls.

Growing up in a coastal city, Jiang Yu had eaten fish balls made from all kinds of fish, but never one made from wild croaker.

So not only everyone is looking forward to it, but Jiang Yu himself is also looking forward to it.

I asked the boatman for some ginger and old wine, cut the ginger into shreds and soaked it with cooking wine.

Take some more ginger, mash it into puree, squeeze out the ginger juice with gauze and set aside.

Then it’s time to process the fish.

Slice along the bone, peel, and remove red meat.

In order to ensure the delicateness of the fish meat, Jiang Yu first scraped off the fish meat little by little with a knife, and then squeezed out the fish paste with gauze.

Three pounds of fish can only make about one pound of fish balls. Jiang Yu would be exhausted to do all this work alone.

So she taught while doing it.

When the women learned about it, they quickly asked the girls at home to learn it.

If a girl has good cooking skills, she will have an advantage in marrying in the future!

At this time, no one thought that it was not just as simple as having the advantage!

The girls come to learn cooking skills not only to facilitate future marriage arrangements, but more importantly, because of their admiration for Jiang Yu.

Especially the girls from Linjia Village.

They also want to know everything like Sister Xiaoyao and Sister Xiaoyu, and stand confidently in front of everyone to speak.

But I don't dare to come forward on weekdays, mainly because the two of them are very busy every day and don't have the chance.

Every time, the girls could only look at the four little followers with envy.

So every time Jiang Yu gave lessons and told stories to everyone, they all listened very carefully.

This time I am also learning cooking skills.

Even if their hands are about to be broken now, they still grit their teeth and persist...

Because they are doing the most critical step in making fish balls!

After the fish paste is beaten out, add salt and mix well.

Then stir the soaked ginger wine and ginger juice evenly.

Then add the fish paste little by little, stirring in the same direction while adding.

Stir continuously for more than ten minutes until the fish meat is stirred vigorously and the squeezed out fish balls can float on the cold water.

Half an hour later, the first pot of fish balls came out.

Jiang Yu used chopsticks to tie up a fish ball, and under the nervous gazes of the girls, he tasted the first fish ball...

"It's delicious! Phew! It's so delicious!" Even if it burns his mouth, Jiang Yu is reluctant to waste it.

After eating a fish ball, I felt the deliciousness and elasticity that I had never experienced before!

Sure enough, the fish balls made by myself are delicious!

Jiang Yu quickly made a second fish ball and handed it to Erniu's mouth.

Erniu was stunned for a moment and met Jiang Yu's encouraging eyes.

"Try it, it's delicious. You made it with your own hands!"

Erniu blushed, carefully opened her mouth and bit the fish balls on the chopsticks...

Just like that, Jiang Yu used chopsticks to pierce the fish balls and fed them to the girls' mouths one by one.

Erniu just blushed because she often followed Jiang Yu.

The other girls thought: These fish balls are indeed spiked with old wine, they feel like they are drunk...

Wake up! Girls, just add a small spoonful of old wine to a whole pot of fish balls, okay?!

…

The fish balls were successfully made. I thought the fish balls would be delicious and could be preserved, so I might as well make more.

So Jiang Yu asked the girls who had completed their studies to make fish balls.

Then he led another group of people and started making fish dumplings.

Once they got started, Jiang Yu stopped caring.

Then fry the remaining fish heads and bones in oil until browned, and then make a thick soup.

I took some more fish, steamed some of them, and made some sweet and sour ones.

By the time everything was done, the sun was almost setting.

It’s finally time for dinner!

…

This is the first time that everyone has leftover rice.

Not to mention when we didn't have enough to eat in the past, since we fled the famine, no one has been hungry and has been fed every meal.

But whether it's eating or cooking, I know it all in my heart and never have any leftovers.

But today, except for some people who felt like they hadn't eaten a meal, they felt unwell.

Others don't care about eating rice...

Pots of fish ball soup were cooked, and in the blink of an eye, even the fish soup in the basin was bottomed out.

Platefuls of dumplings are brought out, each with chopsticks. If your hands are slow, you will lose everything.

The boatmen, who were accustomed to eating seafood, competed with a group of half-grown men for hand speed regardless of appearance.

Those who grabbed it felt very proud and tasted very delicious. Those who couldn't grab it were just annoyed and went on to the next round of competition...

Also, when playing backgammon on the spot, the bet is a fish ball or a fish dumpling...

It was a very lively meal.

Mr. Feng, who was seasick, Yu Zhen, who was pregnant, and some older and younger people were all given special care.

When the food is brought out, they are rushed first, and only the young people have to fight to eat it.

So the younger ones immersed themselves in eating from the beginning, and then played around when they were full.

The older ones ate and watched everyone laughing.

I spent the Chinese New Year on the road this year. At that time, I was so focused on escaping that I couldn’t think about celebrating the New Year.

But even though I was on my way at the moment, it felt like celebrating the New Year.

The young people didn't feel anything, but the elders were very emotional...

As the chef, Jiang Yu had already eaten almost everything while cooking.

At this moment, I was also sitting on the side, looking at everyone with a smile.

As a chef, you will be happy to eat the food you make, and you will also be happy to see others eating happily.

While she was enjoying this feeling, she would also add a few fish balls and dumplings to ππ and Ershi around her from time to time.

The whole fish had bones, so Jiang Yu only gave them these two things to eat, and they ate very happily.

The treasure-hunting mouse even caught a fish ball and prepared to hide it in his pocket.

Jiang Yu had already been on guard against this move, so he took away the whole bowl of fish balls and threatened it.

Then it stopped.

Maybe it was because she had eaten seafood that she hadn’t seen for a long time, or maybe because the atmosphere among everyone was really good, Jiang Yao couldn’t help but eat more...

However, one person did not eat.

That was Shi Yanzheng, who had broken both hands.

These days, he always waits for Shi Xiaoxin to finish eating and then feeds him.

But today...

The forgotten Shi Yanzheng silently glanced at the busy crowd and Shi Xiaoxin who looked proud.

A bunch of heartless people.

Then he glanced at the culprit, who was eating fish balls one after another without realizing it.

"...", hey, I can't even bear to scold this one.

Her eyes drifted towards Jiang Yao next to Jiang Yu as if nothing had happened.

Looks like I really like fish balls…

Well, I'll try what it tastes in a while.

Thinking like this, my neck turned red unconsciously, all the way to the tips of my ears...

Long Hai, who also suffered broken hands, received completely different treatment.

"Madam, please have another piece of fish, this fish is delicious!"

Miao Chunhua picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the spine, then placed it on a spoonful of rice and handed it to his mouth.

While Long Hai was eating, he smiled silly at Miao Chunhua.

Miao Chunhua glanced at him, snorted softly, and turned around to pick out fish bones for him again.
Chapter completed!
