Chapter 7 Eat well and think about the future
Seeing that the fat had melted, Lu Qing began to pick up the small fish one by one and slowly began to fry them.
In fact, it would be better to put a little salt in the oil before frying, so that the fish will not stick to the bottom easily.
But Lu Qing just saw that the salt that the uncle brought just now has relatively coarse particles and is not suitable for frying fish directly.
Carefully controlling the heat, Lu Qing slowly fried the fish.
The permeating aroma attracted Xiaoyan, who had already finished eating the pancakes, to sit over and look straight at the fish on the stone slab.
Lu Qing felt heartbroken when he saw her like this.
He ruffled the little guy's hair.
“Xiaoyan, wait a little longer and you’ll be able to eat it soon.”
“Yeah!” Xiaoyan nodded obediently, “Brother, the fish tastes so good.”
“Xiang, please eat more later. My brother caught so many fish today, it’s enough for Xiaoyan to eat.”
When the rice in the earthen pot was cooked, Lu Qing also basically fried the fish.
He picked up all the fish and put them in a bowl.
Cook some salt water and pour it on.
In this way, a simple fried fish in salt water is ready.
Lu Qing filled two bowls of rice and put them on the table.
“Xiaoyan, it’s time to eat.”
“I’m here, brother.”
The little guy has been waiting at the dinner table for a long time.
Lu Qing added a small stool to the chair and lifted Xiaoyan up so that she would not be able to reach her rice bowl.
Then he put a few small fish with no bones on her rice.
“Eat, little greedy cat, remember to spit out the bones so you don’t get stung.”
“I got it, brother.”
The little guy was so greedy that he immediately picked up a small fried fish, put it in his mouth, and chewed it quickly like a hamster.
Fortunately, the fish Lu Qing caught for her were small fish with no spines, otherwise she would have been stabbed.
After eating a small fish, the little guy's eyes suddenly widened.
“Brother, this fish is delicious, even better than what my mother used to cook!”
When Lu Qing heard this, instead of feeling happy, he felt sad.
This fish just put a little oil and salt water, and even to save money, he didn't dare to put a little more oil when frying.
This kind of fried fish, no matter how delicious it is, how delicious it can be.
When people are hungry, they will feel that everything they eat tastes good.
It can be imagined that Xiaoyan suffered a lot of hunger during this period.
Only then will you realize that a simple dish of fried fish in salt water is also a supreme delicacy.
But Lu Qing didn't show it, just smiled and said: "As long as it tastes good, then Xiaoyan eat more."
"Uh-huh!"
The little guy took a big mouthful and played with it. His mouth was bulging and he couldn't even speak. He just nodded.
Lu Qing smiled and picked up a fish to eat.
A fish was eaten, and he raised his eyebrows.
This fish was not as unpalatable as he thought.
But perhaps because the ancient environment was not polluted, river fish grew very well.
So although this small fried fish is not seasoned enough, the fish meat is delicious and it can be regarded as having a unique flavor.
The two brothers and sister have been hungry for a long time, and they are destined to eat at a slow pace.
Soon, the rice in the earthen pot and the bowl of small fried fish were all eaten by the two of them.
Of course, most of it fell into Lu Qing’s stomach.
No matter how hungry Xiaoyan is, she is still just a six- or seven-year-old child with a limited appetite.
Moreover, Lu Qing also deliberately controlled it to prevent her from eating too much at once and causing a stomachache.
“Brother, Xiaoyan is full!”
The little guy put down the bowl and touched his belly with a satisfied look on his face.
Xiaoyan hasn’t eaten so full for a long time!
"When you are full, take a rest and don't run around. Brother, go wash the dishes first." Lu Qing warned, and then started to clear away the dishes.
“Xiaoyan also helps her brother.”
The little guy jumped off the stool.
“No need, just sit here and rest.” Lu Qing refused.
So Xiaoyan could only sit on the stool obediently and watch Lu Qing busy.
The child was sleepy. When Lu Qing put everything away, he came out and saw that the little guy's head was already dozing off bit by bit.
Lu Qing smiled, gently picked up the little guy, and walked to the room.
“Brother, Xiaoyan will go fishing with you next time. The fish are delicious.”
Just after putting Xiaoyan down on the bed, the little guy muttered in a daze.
“Okay, next time I go fishing, my brother will bring you with me.”
Lu Qing took pity and covered the little guy with a patched quilt and said softly.
As if hearing her brother's assurance, Xiaoyan said nothing more and fell into a deep sleep.
After confirming that the little guy was asleep, Lu Qing quietly walked out of the room and sat on a simple recliner in the hall, feeling relieved.
He was also very busy today. His health was only just good, but he was still very weak.
As a result, I had to endure hunger and do so much work, including fishing and cooking.
It is a lie to say that I am not tired.
Now that I’m lying on the recliner, I feel much more comfortable.
Even felt sleepy.
But he can't sleep yet.
There are still some things he needs to think about.
After most of the day's activities, contacts with villagers, and the memories in his mind, Lu Qing has basically deduced what kind of environment he is in now.
First of all, there is no doubt that the world he is in now is a world similar to ancient China.
Moreover, it was an era when productivity was relatively low.
This can be seen from the fact that an iron pot has become a rarity.
However, that’s all.
More information, but Lu Qing is not sure yet.
For example, he doesn’t know the social structure of this world, the distribution of forces, who is in power, etc.
He only knew that in this world, there seemed to be no political departments such as courts and yamen.
At least in the memory of the original owner, there is no such concept.
Of course, this is not absolute.
In the final analysis, the original owner was just an ordinary country boy who was ignorant and had never left the village.
He has never thought about how big the outside world is, so how can he have those concepts.
However, although I am not sure whether there are imperial yamen or not.
But what is certain is that there are towns and so on.
People in the village usually need certain daily necessities, so they go to the market in nearby towns to buy them.
Salt and iron can generally only be purchased in towns.
The most powerful person in these towns seems to be the city lord.
It is a pity that although the original owner is fifteen years old, he has never been to the city, so Lu Qing has no way of knowing what it is like in the city.
"It seems that if you have the chance, you should go to town." Lu Qing said softly to himself.
Only when he understands the world well enough can he decide which path is better for him in the future.
Of course, thinking about these now is still a bit far away.
The most urgent thing, what he needs most is to find a way to support him and Xiaoyan.
After all, today, he owed a lot of favors to the villagers, and these all needed to be repaid.
And his biggest reliance at the moment is undoubtedly his superpowers.
What can you do with your own powers?
Lu Qing thought quietly.
Suddenly, a person's name appeared in his mind.
