Chapter 314 Becomes a Treasure Again
"Oh my god, what the hell did you make? It smells so damn good!"
"It doesn't look like anything special, just an ordinary fish soup, but the fish we usually cook doesn't taste like this. Guoguo, what did you put in it? Hey, what is this? Is it the same fragrance?"
Everyone stood by the pot to watch. The aroma was really tempting. Since everyone had nothing to do, it was interesting to visit and see what everyone was making in the evening. You could also learn the skills of each family and secretly learn from them.
Zhou Guo didn't want to hide it, and scooped up a piece of pine mushroom from the soup, "That fragrance must be this, this is called pine mushroom, we picked it in the forest before, even though it smells good when it's dry, it smells good when it's just picked, haven't you ever eaten it?"
The villagers gathered together to take a closer look. After looking for a while, someone slapped his thigh and said, "I know this. We have picked it before, but we didn't know how to eat it. How can this be eaten?"
"Yes, I have encountered it too. I remember when I dug it out from the soil just after it emerged from the ground. I thought it looked pretty good, big and firm. I wanted to eat it, but I didn't dare to put it in the pot, for fear that it would go to heaven if I ate it!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone laughed. "That's right. There was a case in the village where someone picked and ate some unknown mushrooms and his whole family died. We shouldn't eat unknown mushrooms unless we have no other choice but to die."
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Guo said, "Okay, when this mushroom comes out again next year, we will all go up the mountain to pick it. I will teach you how to cook it when we get back. It's delicious."
Li smiled and said, "It's not that easy. When our family members have finished eating, you can watch from the side to see if we are okay. If we are okay, you can eat without worry."
The fragrant pine mushroom and fish fillet pot is ready. The people around are drooling with greed. The younger children are crying and clamoring to eat fish too.
This is the bad thing about living in a cave. Everyone can see what each family eats. If you prepare something delicious right under your noses, the children will clamor for food. How embarrassing!
If you don't give it, it will seem like your family is so stingy that you are reluctant to give even a bite or two. If you give it, there are so many children in the cave. If you give it to one family, will the other families also be willing to give it?
Give them all, what else will they eat? There’s only soup left!
Fortunately, today's fish fillet hotpot is special, with pine mushrooms as the base. No one in the village has ever eaten it before. Everyone is still afraid of wild mushrooms that they have never eaten before. Unless they see others eating them with their own eyes, they dare not eat them.
At this time, every household started to have dinner. For various reasons, everyone moved their dinner into the cave. Once the curtain was drawn, each family ate their own dinner.
The Zhou family too.
The old man came back from the depths of the woods carrying two grilled fish. He took a few big strides into the curtain, leaving the smell of fish all over the ground behind him, causing a commotion in every household in the cave.
"Hmm, what's that smell? It smells so good?"
"Hush, you'll die if you don't talk. You're the only one who talks too much among so many people. Be careful that the child won't make trouble. Where are you going to get him? The child was just found. You have to make some delicious food to nourish him. Look how thin he is."
Soon, the cave became quiet again.
Zhou Guo stood up and happily took the grilled fish that the old man brought in, cut it into pieces and put them into three bowls. There were three whole bowls.
Everyone in the Zhou family stared at the dishes on the stone table. There was fish fillets in a clay pot and grilled fish in several bowls.
The delicious smell made everyone swallow their saliva unconsciously. After going up the mountain, no one dared to cook even a little delicious food at home.
The food is not the same as everyone else's, but it's not much better either.
These stewed and grilled fish are the few good dishes they have had since they came up the mountain. How can one not drool?
The old man was the first to pick up a piece of pine mushroom and eat it, and then everyone started to eat.
Five or six pairs of chopsticks picked up the fish fillets and grilled fish and put them into a bowl.
Little Zhou Su's bowl was instantly filled with fish meat. He stared at the fish meat in the bowl in shock.
Li's eyes were filled with tears as she said softly, "Eat, you poor thing, I don't know how much you've suffered, just come home and you'll be fine. Mother will make delicious food for you every day, and you can eat meat every meal."
Zhou Mai also said, "Xiao Su, eat as much as you can. Your brother is learning hunting from the teacher now. Follow him to set the trap. You can't catch it with your bare hands. You should be able to catch it once out of ten times. If you can't catch it twenty times, you can eat whatever you catch. Eat more."
Zhou Gu laughed and said, "You are bragging. You still set traps. You said you have been in the mountains for half a month. You must have set traps 30 times. You didn't even catch a mouse. Let Xiao Su wait for your meat. I am afraid he can't hold on for one piece a day. And you are still eating hard."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Mai also laughed, "I haven't learned it yet, and I haven't learned it well. I will learn more from you, and I will be able to apply it when I learn it well."
Zhou Guo looked at the old man who was eating mouthful by mouthful, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to work hard then."
The old man paused, raised his eyelids to look at her, and continued eating calmly. He didn't say he would use a condom.
Zhou Mai nodded vigorously.
Zhou Su ate the meat in the bowl bite by bite. His eyes were not idle either. They turned around and looked at his family members who were talking. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Zhou Guo held the bowl and drank a bowl of soup first. In one word, it was delicious, especially delicious. If the soup was not limited, she could hold the bowl and drink it all in one breath.
After drinking the soup and eating, I held a big bowl of rice and first picked up the grilled fish. The fish skin was the best, salty, tender and smooth, especially fragrant. I couldn't help but encourage the old man, "Master, you don't know, what I want to eat most when I'm out is your grilled meat. I can never get the same taste when I grill it myself. I just like this. Why don't you grill some more meat later? You can grill any kind of meat."
"You are quite a good eater and you want to eat every day. What do you think of me, your master?" Although he said so, the old man's upturned mouth could not lie.
Li and Zhou Xing looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. As soon as Zhou Guo came back, the old man seemed to come back to life.
The meal was finished in a lively atmosphere. Zhou Suli didn't pick up any food by himself the whole time. He was well taken care of by his family and became the treasure of his family. The little guy laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.
Just after finishing their meal, before putting away their bowls, the other families in the cave gathered around and said with a chuckle, "Guoguo, you haven't finished talking about what happened on the road yet. We talked about it yesterday so we'll continue today. Shall we start now?"
When Zhou Guo first saw everyone gathering around their house, he thought something was going on. Hearing this, he found it very funny. "Let's clear the dishes first. We can start after that."
In late autumn, outside the cave, the mountain breeze is blowing, yellow leaves are falling from the treetops, and the little animals, who have been busy all day, are returning to their nests.
Several crackling fires made the originally cold cave feel as warm as spring.
The black shadows on the cave wall stood still, listening intently to what Zhou Guo, who was in the middle, was saying.
