Chapter 116 What kind of benefits did he promise you?
He Zhiran did not speak too directly, she believed Xie Tianhai could understand.
"Okay, I will listen to you, I will come over in the evening." Xie Tianhai replied in a low voice.
He Zhiran looked at the crucian carp he was handling and said again: "Uncle Xie, I will grill these fish and eat them later, and ask my second sister-in-law to send one to Lin'er to replenish her health."
Xie Tianhai had just seen He Zhiran catching fish, and he had already asked his two sons to follow her example and go down to the river to catch two so that they could replenish their grandson's health.
Unexpectedly, the two sons were so useless that after struggling for a long time, they got nothing.
Now that He Zhiran said sending a fish to Xie Lin, for Xie Tianhai, it was like giving help in the snow.
He put down his posture and thanked He Zhiran profusely.
At the same time, Xie Tianhai had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether the Xie family's exile was related to Mo Jiuye, he planned to expose the matter.
Anyway, the Xie family has been exiled, and they are still related to the Mo family. Now that they have received such a great favor from He Zhiran, it will not help if they continue to be reluctant.
It is better for the two families to get along well and arrive in the northwest safely, even if they can only live a simple life in the future, as long as they are alive.
The girls of the Mo family usually have servants to take care of them at home, so they are very unfamiliar with things like handling fish.
However, they have already recognized the reality. If they want to avoid starvation in the future, the best way is to provide enough food and clothing by themselves.
So everyone gathered around He Zhiran and imitated her example to help handle the crucian carp.
Although they are not as skilled as He Zhiran, it is always good to have someone to help.
Soon, everyone was busy cleaning the fish.
He Zhiran found branches of even thickness and skewered all the crucian carp, and then found a few large rocks to build a temporary barbecue grill.
"Sisters-in-law, please go pick up some dry firewood and bring them back."
Although she felt sorry for the female members of the Mo family, she didn't want them to continue to be helpless people. After all, there was still a long way to go, and it was inevitable to master more survival skills.
The female relatives went to collect firewood, and He Zhiran went to the official to borrow firewood.
The officials knew that they must share in the fish grilled by the Mo family. Not only did they not embarrass her, they also took the initiative to give He Zhiran some salt.
He Zhiran originally planned to ask for some salt, and even planned to spend some money to buy it from an official.
Who would have thought that these officials were so talkative that they would take the initiative to give it to her.
Salt in ancient times was not purified by high technology, so it was not only large in size but also somewhat black.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she has these salts as cover, she can find opportunities to take out the refined salt from the space.
You know, the small kitchen in her infirmary is quite complete with all kinds of seasonings.
It's a pity that she can't find an excuse to take out these things yet.
However, it doesn't hurt to add some humble condiments.
He Zhiran returned to the established oven and quickly lit the fire, then neatly placed the skewered crucian carp on it.
Soon, there was a sizzling sound, and at the same time, a fragrance spread to the surroundings.
Smelling this smell, people around him kept swallowing their saliva.
The smell of grilled fish was delicious, but He Zhiran was not very satisfied.
She whispered softly inadvertently.
"It would be perfect if I could brush it with some oil."
Unexpectedly, her words fell into the ears of Zhang Qing who was passing by.
Zhang Qing was already ravenous when he smelled the aroma of grilled fish.
And from what Heshe said, if you can brush some oil on the grilled fish, it will taste better.
"Heshe, you said that grilled fish needs oil?"
He Zhiran raised his head and replied casually: "Yes, it will definitely taste much better than now."
"You wait." Zhang Qing said a few words and hurried away.
Not long after, he came back with a small jar that was not too big.
"This contains rapeseed oil, which is very refined and expensive. You can use it sparingly."
He Zhiran did not expect that the items carried by the official servant were quite complete, including rapeseed oil.
If she had known this, she would have risked her life to get some.
But it's not too late to send it now.
"Don't worry, sir, I promise to save on it."
After opening the jar, He Zhiran broke off a leafy branch from the tree, went to the river to clean it, and used it as an oil brush.
Sure enough, after the crucian carp was brushed with rapeseed oil, the smell wafted out became even more fragrant.
He Zhiran secretly took some thirteen incense and refined salt from the space and sprinkled it on it. The first outdoor grilled fish meal in ancient times was completed.
This time, He Zhiran grilled ten fishes in total.
I thought she would give these fish to the officials first to please them.
Who knows, He Zhiran didn't do that at all.
Instead, he selected the largest one and delivered it to Mrs. Mo first.
Mrs. Mo hesitated for a moment, then looked specifically at the officials.
Of course He Zhiran understood what her mother-in-law meant, she just wanted her to distribute the grilled fish to the official servants.
In order for Mrs. Mo to eat fish with peace of mind, she gave the other party a reassuring look.
Then he distributed a fish to each of the eight sisters-in-law.
There was only one left. She looked at Mo Jiuye, who was still lying on the wooden cart, and then at Mo Hanyue, who was drooling, and finally chose to give it to Mo Hanyue.
When the officials saw her behavior, they immediately became unhappy.
Especially Zhang Qing, who even bothered to send rapeseed oil to others, but in the end, he didn't get any share at all.
"Heshi, has this been how you learned to behave since you were a child?"
He Zhiran raised his head and answered neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Is there anything wrong with me doing this?
My father has taught me since I was a child that good things should be given to the elders first. I gave them to my mother-in-law first, and to my eight sisters-in-law. They are all older than me, so there is nothing wrong with me giving them first.
My sister-in-law is young, so of course I have to take care of her. Sir, please tell me, what did I do wrong?"
Zhang Qing was left speechless.
There is indeed nothing wrong...
Zhou Laoba was patient. Seeing that Zhang Qing was anxious, he touched him next to him and told him to calm down.
After all, it’s understandable that people don’t want to honor you if they own things.
At worst, I'll just find an opportunity to put on some shoes for the Mo family in the future.
Zhang Qing tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and sat there staring at He Zhiran.
Peng Wang looked at all this and found it quite interesting.
After so many years of working as an official escorting prisoners in exile, this was the first time he met someone who was not afraid of them.
Moreover, he can always put the truth to the point, making it impossible for others to refute.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mo Jiuye lying next to him.
"Your wife is getting more and more powerful."
Now besides commenting on He Zhiran's greatness, Peng Wang could hardly find any other words to describe him.
Mo Jiuye tilted his head, pretending to be weak and said: "She's just a mouthful and unforgiving."
"Hey... don't be modest. If I say your wife is amazing, she is amazing."
Could it be awesome?
Not only can he treat illnesses, but he can also fish in the river, and he is so smooth-talking.
Anyway, Peng Wang is convinced now, but it's a pity that He Zhiran is a woman.
Otherwise, with her ability, she can definitely become an amazing person.
