Chapter 7 Eat well and think about the future

Seeing that the oil 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, you will be able to eat soon.

Yeah! Xiaoyan nodded obediently, Brother, the fish smells so good.

Xiang, please eat more later. My brother caught so many fish today, which is enough for Xiaoyan to eat.

When the rice in the earthen pot was cooked, Lu Qing also basically fried the fish.

He picked up the fish and put it in a bowl.

Boil some more 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 placed 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 carried Xiaoyan up so that she would not be able to reach her rice bowl.

Then she put a few small fish with no bones on her rice.

Eat it, little greedy cat, and remember to spit out the bones so you don't get stung.

I know, 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, Lu Qing caught small fish with no spines for her, 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 mom 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.

Such fried fish, no matter how delicious it can be, how delicious it can be.

When people are hungry, everything they eat tastes delicious.

It is conceivable that Xiaoyan suffered a lot of hunger during this period of time.

Only then will I realize that a simple dish of fried fish in salt water is also a supremely delicious dish.

But Lu Qing didn't show it, he 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 piece of fish to eat.

After eating a fish, he raised his eyebrows.

The fish was not as unpalatable as he imagined.

But perhaps because the ancient environment was not polluted, river fish grew very well.

Therefore, although this small fried fish is not seasoned enough, the fish meat is delicious and can be regarded as having a unique flavor.

Both brothers and sisters 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 eaten by the two of them.

Of course, most of it ended up in Lu Qing's stomach.

No matter how hungry Xiaoyan is, she is 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 ruining her stomach.

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're 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 brother.

The little guy jumped off the stool.

No, 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 little by little.

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 lovingly covered the little guy with a patched quilt and said softly.

As if she heard her brother's assurance, Xiaoyan didn't speak anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

After confirming that the little one 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 just getting better, but he was still very weak.

As a result, I had to endure hunger and do so much work, including fishing and cooking.

It would be a lie to say that I am not tired.

Now that I am lying on the recliner, I feel much more comfortable.

I even felt sleepy.

But he can't sleep yet.

There were still some things he needed to think about.

After most of the day's activities, contact with villagers, and the memories in his mind, Lu Qing had basically deduced what kind of environment he was 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 even an iron pot has become a rarity.

However, that's all.

Lu Qing was not sure about more information.

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 imperial courts and yamen.

At least in the memory of the original owner, there is no such concept.

Of course, this is not absolute.

After all, the original owner was just an ordinary country boy who had never left the village.

He had never thought about how big the outside world was, so how could 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 such.

People in the village usually go to the market in nearby towns to buy certain daily necessities.

Things like salt and iron can generally only be purchased in towns.

And in these towns, the person with the most power seems to be the city lord.

Unfortunately, although the original owner was fifteen years old, he had never been to the city, making Lu Qing unable to know what it was 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 he needs most is to find a way to support him and Xiaoyan.

After all, today, he owed a lot of favors to the people in the village, and they all needed to be repaid.

And his biggest reliance at the moment is undoubtedly his superpower.

What can I do with my own powers?

Lu Qing thought quietly.

Suddenly, a person's name appeared in his mind.
