Eels are afraid of strong light, so for convenience, she specially brought out solar lighting lamps from the space.
As soon as she arrived at the rice field, she handed the lamp to Sanya and asked Erbao to help her carry the bucket. The three of them cooperated and checked along the field ridge.
Erbao and Sanya thought she was looking for something at first, until Li Tannian threw the eel into the barrel, and their expressions changed.
"Stepmother, stepmother, you."
"Shh." Before Er Bao could finish speaking, Li Tannian shushed at him, "This is a good thing. Keep your voice down."
Erbao and Sanya didn't know why, but they nodded obediently.
There were so many eels in this rice field that Li Tannian caught a whole bucket of eels before he even finished walking over one field ridge.
It was dark at night, and there were sounds of frogs croaking in the rice fields.
Li Tannian carried the bucket home, and Sanya couldn't help but test it: "Stepmother, you don't want to eat this stuff, do you?"
"Don't like to eat?"
Eel is a rare delicacy. In this era, the farmland has not been polluted by pesticides, so the quality of the meat will not be bad.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a loud "bang" sound coming from behind him. It turned out that Erbao lost his balance and fell.
Li Tannian stamped his feet and Erbao pulled him up from the ground, his face turned pale: "You can't eat it, it will kill you."
Li Tannian was suspicious.
"Last year, after someone in the village ate this stuff, the whole village went to his house to eat meat." Sanya explained.
Li Tannian: "?"
She always felt that there was something strange about Sanya's expression.
Sure enough, soon she heard Sanya continue: "Because he was poisoned to death by this thing. I watched the villagers bury him. When he was buried, his face was so green that it was scary."
Li Tannian: "······"
This girl is so courageous. Aren't other children scared to death when they see a dead person? She actually came forward to look at it?
"Aren't you scared?"
Sanya was a little weird: "Why should I be afraid? Living people are much scarier than dead people."
Li Tannian nodded with deep understanding. Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Sanya suddenly said: "Stepmother, you don't want to poison us with this thing, do you?"
Li Tannian paused in his steps.
Sanya was also shocked to realize that she had said something wrong. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Li Tannian say quietly: "The man who was poisoned to death also ate the eel's head?"
Sanya thought about it seriously and nodded quickly, while Erbao tightened Sanya's sleeves in fear.
Li Tannian was speechless for a while. She had some doubts: Is Erbao really her brother?
"You can't eat the head of an eel. If you don't eat the head, you won't die."
"Really?" Sanya's eyes lit up. There were a lot of rice fields in the village. If this thing was really edible, they wouldn't be afraid of starving in the future.
Li Tannian shrugged: "Why did I lie to you? If I wanted to poison you to death, there would be no reason for me to bury myself with you."
Sanya thought about it and felt that what her stepmother said made sense.
This time, she was willing to believe her from the bottom of her heart.
The three of them returned to the house. Li Tannian found some scissors and began to trim the eels.
Generally speaking, in order to keep eels clean, they have to be raised in clean water for a while after being caught. However, the farmland in this era is green and pollution-free, and there are no pesticides. If you eat it like this, it should not have much impact.
.
Li Tannian's method of whole eel is very fast.
In the blink of an eye, Erbao and Sanya had already neatly cut the eel's neck with a knife. Then, she used the tip of the knife to make a slash under the neck, and planed the entire eel except its internal organs.
After Sanya saw her, she took scissors and followed her example to cut the eel into pieces, but was stopped by Li Tannian.
"I'll do it." The eel is too slippery and will hurt your hand if you're not careful.
Seeing this, Sanya and Erbao had no choice but to fetch water and help her clean the eel.
When Lu Dabao saw them squatting in the courtyard and tinkering with things, he was also curious about what the woman was doing outside with Erbao and Sanya.
But when he saw the eels in the barrel, his whole expression changed.
At this time, a cheerful male voice came from outside: "Dabao, Erbao, Sanya, Sibao!"
The four little ones saw the person coming clearly, and their faces suddenly lit up with joy.
"Uncle Feng Shi!" The little cubs welcomed them out happily. Feng Shi grabbed the four little ones and put his arms around them. Seeing that they had no scars from Li Tannian's torture, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Feng Shi, why did you come back suddenly? Are the wood shops in town out of business?" Lu Dabao asked first.
"Come back and see your dad. After these two days have passed, I will be able to come over and take care of you every day." Feng Shi smiled.
Li Tannian was startled for a moment when he heard the name Feng Shi.
Feng Shi was Lu Zhi's right-hand man in the future. It was said that he was good at using the meteor hammer, and every time he hit the enemy, he retreated steadily.
Li Tannian looked at the other person curiously. The person in front of him was wearing a gray robe. He was not short in stature, but his body was skinny. He really didn't look like someone who could hold a meteor hammer steadily.
Could it be that they just have the same name and surname?
But in the memory of the original owner, the person in front of him was indeed as written in the book. He had been friends with Lu Zhi since he was a child and wore crotchless pants when he was growing up!
Li Tannian was suspicious, and happened to catch Feng Shi's wary gaze.
"Come in with me." After Feng Shi finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled the four little ones into the east room.
After making sure that the woman had not followed, Feng Shi took out a small half bag of grain in his arms and lowered his voice and said: "This is the cornmeal noodles I bought specially for you. Hide it quickly and don't let the woman find it. Wait.
When she goes out, you can stir it in the pot and eat it."
The four little ones looked at me and I looked at you without saying a word.
"Is it possible that she hit you again?" Feng Shi asked this, anger welling up.
"My stepmother has cooked for us these past two days, and she also bought a new mattress for my father." Sanya was the first to speak. She didn't want to hide the food from her stepmother.
Feng Shi looked at the new mattress on Lu Zhi's bed, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or theft! Who knows what she has planned behind her back?"
Sanya pursed her lips, but why did she think the stepmother just wanted to be nice to them?
Lu Dabao was a little shaken. His stepmother still defended him today, but when he thought of his stepmother leaving them to feed wolves, his eyes became dim.
"Uncle Feng Shi is right. Who knows how long she will be better, or what she is planning?"
After the voice fell, he finally took the corn noodles, thanked Feng Shi, and hid the corn noodles carefully.
The second treasure, the third treasure and the fourth treasure are all a little lonely. They really don't want their stepmother to be like the eldest brother said.
Feng Shi then took out a piece of yellow paper and wrapped it out, then opened the yellow paper package, revealing five rock candy cubes: "Here."
"Thank you Uncle Feng Shi."
"Thank you uncle!"
After the four little ones finished expressing their opinions, Feng Shi went to Tanbian to help Lu Zhi check the wound.
At first, when he heard Sanya say that the woman bought Lu Zhi a new bedding, he was a little surprised. Once he saw the healed wound on his knee, he was even more surprised.
Someone had obviously carefully applied medicine and bandaged it there. Except for the woman Li Tannian, there seemed to be no one else in the room who could do this.
But why was she suddenly so nice to Lu Zhi? Didn't she just chase after Lin Ziyan?
Outside, Li Tannian only regretted that his hearing was so good that he heard the conversation in the room clearly.
Thinking of Feng Shi's fear of her entering the house to grab food, and guarding her against thieves, Li Tannian couldn't help but sneered slightly, and his hands became more agile.
The seasonings at home were not complete, so Li Tannian could only simply make fried eel.
After she had decapitated the eel, cut it off, and marinated it, she was just about to beat the eggs and mix the batter, when the hem of her skirt was grabbed by a little hand.
