Chapter 138 Fish Soup
Yi Chi was busy going in and out for a long time, and finally cleaned up the stove before nightfall so that he could have dinner in peace.
The ginger fish came here because of the fragrant smell of fish soup.
The fragrance is dense and lingering, so faint that it seems to disappear with a breeze. People passing by might think they are hallucinating.
"Knock knock." Jiang Yu patrolled around the wooden house before going over to knock on the door.
Yi Chi washed his hands. Before he opened the door or saw anyone, he couldn't help but smile. He pulled the bolt and saw the person he had missed for a long time, "Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu looked at the smiling face in front of him, frowned subconsciously, then pushed him into the house, "Close the door."
Yi Chi was puzzled and didn't understand why she came to see him and looked unhappy.
But after not seeing each other for a long time, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. He locked the door and went to pour water for Jiang Yu. "You came at the right time. I just made some fish soup. Would you like to drink some together?"
"No." Jiang Yu shook her head. She put the bowl of water aside and asked him directly, "Why are you so thin? Was there a famine where you went?"
"No." Yi Chi shook his head quickly. Food famine could happen anywhere, but not in the army. "I'm just used to it. It's like this every year when I come back from a trip."
"So why do you torture your body every year?" Jiang Yu didn't understand. Poor health affects lifespan. Even in the end times, everyone wants to do their best to ensure they can survive, work hard to obtain survival resources, exercise and make themselves stronger. Why do you keep hurting yourself?
Yi Chi bit his lip. He had forgotten that he had grown up and no longer needed to show weakness to survive like he did when he was a child. He hurt himself every year because he could hide it from others and give them the illusion that he was having a hard time. This allowed him to stay away from other people's eyes and not have to be so cautious all the time.
"Speak." Jiang Yu frowned even more tightly.
"I forgot." Yi Chi answered in a low voice, "I was wrong. I won't do this again. I promise!" He didn't give the specific reason, but just promised her firmly.
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You'd better keep your word. If you torture yourself like this, you will only harm your own body and there will be no other benefits."
Seeing her put it down gently, Yi Chi couldn't help but widen the curve of his mouth, "Well, do you want some soup?"
"No, you should drink more." Jiang Yu shook his head. It would be better not to snatch food from the patient.
"Then..." Yi Chi wanted to find something to feed the ginger fish, but the ginger fish refused.
"You eat first. I came here after I had eaten." After Jiang Yu was full, he came over to talk to him.
The pot had been bubbling for quite a while, so Yi Chi put the idea aside for the time being and went to take care of things on the stove first.
But after the fish soup was served, Yi Chi still brought her a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and scooped a bowl of soup for her with a large soup spoon, "I can't let you watch me eat, it's embarrassing, just drink some soup, and think of it as accompanying me for a meal."
Thinking about it, it would be uncomfortable to sit and watch others eat. Jiang Yu had no choice but to take the bowl of soup he handed over and drink it sporadically.
The fish soup is made with small crucian carp, and onions, ginger and garlic are added to remove the fishy smell. Although no tofu is added, the milky white soup is extremely delicious, dotted with chopped green onions, the color is bright, and the soup is also very delicious.
In addition to fish soup, Yi Chi also stir-fried beans and snow vegetables.
Jiang Yu picked a book with more pictures from the books he brought back and flipped through it, otherwise his eyes would always be attracted by other people's food, which would be embarrassing~
Although Jiang Yu couldn't understand the contents of the book, she thought the structure was quite interesting. "What is this thing used for?" She pointed to one of the pictures and asked Yi Chi.
"That's a part inside the engine." Yi Chi took a look. "I'm not very clear about its specific function. I'm mainly responsible for translating these foreign languages and understanding the professional terms. It takes a professional to explain what this part does inside."
Jiang Yu nodded. She knew that Yi Chi was good at foreign languages. After all, she was thinking about learning from him, although she had not learned much so far.
Either it’s difficult to go into the mountains due to the heavy snow in winter, or it’s too busy to have time after spring planting begins.
After finishing his meal, Yi Chi washed some wild fruits for Jiang Yu, which he picked when he came out of the mountains. Even if Jiang Yu didn't come over at night, he planned to go find her and give her the wild fruits.
Ginger fish likes the various wild fruits here, which are sour and sweet and delicious.
"Is your grandpa okay?" Jiang Yu was sitting there and eating fruit, so it was not a good idea to leave now, so he found a topic to talk about.
Yi Chi looked relaxed, "He's fine, in good health. Although he's very busy, he has a good attitude."
"As long as you're in good health, it's good. Who would be like you? If you go out for a walk at night, people would think that Little Poplar has turned into a spirit!" Jiang Yu complained about him, mainly because his appearance was really annoying.
Yi Chi felt a little aggrieved, but also a little happy, "I will recover soon."
"I need to talk to Tuanzi and ask him to catch more prey for you to supplement your nutrition. With your current condition, you may fall headfirst to the ground when the harvest comes." Jiang Yu frowned as he looked at him. He was too thin. When he raised his arm, the roundness of the joints at his wrist was obvious, which was shocking.
Yi Chi didn't expect her to say that. It seemed that Jiang Yu and Tuanzi got along very well during his absence. He blinked twice, his big eyes becoming more and more prominent on his thin face. "I can hunt by myself. And I brought back a lot of things. By the way, take some chocolate and malted milk back. The temperature is high now, and chocolate is impatient and melts easily. Eat more and help me solve it."
Jiang Yu thought of the rich and delicious taste of the chocolate and couldn't say no. He decided to go up the mountain to hunt for him tomorrow in exchange.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to leave, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
"Shh." Jiang Yu had sensitive hearing. The man should not have approached the wooden house yet. She pointed to the position behind the door and asked Yi Chi to stand there. She listened to the noise outside and jumped out of the open window. The long bars supporting the window closed, and the window frame fell with a muffled sound.
The footsteps outside stopped.
The candlelight was dim, and after the windows were closed, only a faint light came through the crack of the door. The only light outside was the moonlight, but it looked thin and weak under the interlaced shadows of the trees.
Jiang Yu walked around the tree and came behind the person who came.
The man looked curiously at the cabin in front, smelling the lingering food aroma in the air, and was ready to move.
A wooden stick held high above the head moved quickly in the dim moonlight.
