The Buddhist lady travels through ancient times to live a leisurely life

Yun Xi sat beside him and hugged him. Some children might be a little afraid of these things, and she was worried that Mu Jinyan was one of them.

But it was obvious that this worry was a bit unnecessary. No matter how well-behaved and soft he looked, the child of a military family still had the courage he should have. Not only was he not afraid, but he was very interested and even dared to reach his hand into the basin to touch the fish and shrimp. After playing for a while, he dared to pick up the shrimps and felt them twisting in his hands, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Yun Xi reminded him to be careful and not get his hands pricked by the shrimp's whiskers, then she handed him over to the wet nurse and the maid and went to wash her hands and rest.

It was quite tiring to play that day.

After drinking two cups of tea and resting enough, Yun Xi went to the kitchen.

Aunt Zhong was staring at a large bucket of fish and shrimp, thinking about how to make it taste good. She had a hint of sadness on her face. There was no way, she had no experience at all.

Yun Xi expressed her understanding of this.

The history of eating fish is very long. In her original time and space, historical records show that Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, liked to eat fish very much and even set up a Fisheries Office. Deng Yu, a famous official of the Eastern Han Dynasty, would personally make "cold fish salad". Later, Cao Cao also loved to eat fish. He not only knew how to eat it, but also how to cook it, "at least twice a year."

Judging from the frequency with which Cao Cao ate fish, fish was not a very popular ingredient.

The same may be true for this space-time.

Judging from Mu Sheng’s reaction when he mentioned fish and shrimp before, his cooking skills are probably not that good.

When Aunt Zhong saw Yun Xi coming over, she quickly perked up and asked, "Madam, how should we make these things?"

She had a mysterious trust in Yun Xi's talent in cooking.

"Clean it up first."

Yun Xi explained in detail how to scrape the scales of fish, clean the internal organs, how to remove the shrimp threads, how to use wine and onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and also introduced various cooking methods such as braising, steaming, and frying.

Aunt Zhong was like a studious primary school student. She listened very attentively. She could be rated as a “three-good student”.

The most common wine here is rice wine brewed from millet, which is very suitable for removing fishy smell.

Considering that Mu Jinyan didn't know how to remove fish bones, she also taught Aunt Zhong how to make the fish meat into minced meat and then into fish balls.

As for shrimp, they can be braised in oil, blanched, chopped into shrimp paste, mixed with eggs, flour and vegetables and fried into shrimp cakes, or made into soft-fried shrimps or stir-fried shrimps, all of which taste very good.

That night, the Mu family had a river fish feast.

The whole family went to the old lady's upper room for dinner, and everyone praised the food.

Mu Jinyan ate two shrimp cakes the size of a child's palm, a few fish balls, a lot of stir-fried shrimps, and drank crucian carp soup, his little belly was bulging with food.

The old general said: "I have eaten fish and shrimp at palace banquets before, but the taste is far inferior to what we cook at home."

The old lady praised: "I said Xixi has talent."

Mu Xuan said: "I used to think it was too much to eat once or twice a year, but now I feel like I can eat it every day."

The old lady almost rolled her eyes: "Where can we get so many fish and shrimp for you to eat!"

Yun Xi didn't say anything. Once her aquaculture business is up and running, she can eat it every day. I'm just worried that you guys will get tired of it by then.

Mu Sheng didn't say anything. He just kept helping Yun Xi remove bones and peel shrimps, and his service was very good.

After dinner, Mu Sheng and Yun Xi took Mu Jinyan for a walk for several times. The child ate a lot for dinner, so they didn't dare let him go to bed early for fear that he would have indigestion.
