Chapter 107: Green Peppers (1/2)
Looking at the menu, Tang Jinyu also worked hard to go fishing. He wanted to make a bigger one for his brother to try. Under the guidance of the elderly from the two families, he really fished a lot.
Grandpa Tang kept complimenting him: ”Xiaoyu's luck is really good. After being here for a short while, he caught more fish than the two of us, and we’ve been fishing for a long time!”
Grandpa Chen just listened to other things, and couldn't help but feel proud when he heard this sentence, ”That is, my grandson's luck, that must be good!” He put his hand on his clothes, and put it next to his inner pocket. The corners of the old man’s mouth rose again, as happy as though hearing someone praise him.
Although Elder Tang didn’t catch a lot of fish, he still caught one after another, and was very energetic, and said: ”Come over here. This side is close to the water, so you catch a lot of fish!”
Elder Chen didn't go there. He sat firmly on a flat rock on the shore, flicking a rod and bait all the way away, and said with a smile: ”I’ll stay here, my old bones are out of shape.”
Elder Tang only thought that he was in poor health, and didn’t think about anything else. He also talked to him about two tips on body care and exercise. While he was sharing, he heard a sound of water next to him. There was a big noise on Tang Jinyu’s side, and a fish was hooked!
This time the fish was very big and had to use a lot of strength to pull it out of the water. The two old men couldn’t leave their own fishing rods, so they taught him how to pull the fish there. Tang Jinyu listened to the, and learned how to draw his fishing rod, and grasped the right moment to take up the line and soon dragged the big fish to the place near the shore. Han Yichen rolled up his trouser pants, and rushed the front line, and helped catch it with a fishing net.
”Here, this fish is big enough to weigh ten catties!”
Old Ape went to help, and after taking the fishing net, he didn't forget to say to Han Yichen: ”Xiao Han, hurry up, you go and change into dry clothes. I saw some extra clothes in the trunk of Xia Ye's car, make sure to not catch a cold, Ah!” As he said this, he was holding his net and offered it off as a treasure, ”Mr. Tang, look! It's such a big fish. I've seen it in the fish market before. It's the first time I've ever seen such a big fish caught!”
Han Yichen: ”…”
Han Yichen also opened his eyes, and it was the first time that he saw with his own eyes how the Old Ape pleased a number of math institutes.
To say that this kind of flattery is considered light. It’s no wonder the dean of the School of Computer Science punished him to bring projects below, he really deserves it.
After catching the big fish, you can have a good grilled fish.
Everyone had lunch two hours later, but a table of food was more flavorful than usual. They made four or five octopus dishes, one was sweet and sour, and the biggest one was grilled fish with rattan pepper. There was also one fish for two, fish head tofu soup, and since the ingredients were fresh, the taste was also very delicious.
The grilled fish with rattan pepper was especially popular.
The rattan peppers used for cooking were brought by Grandma Chen, and the small green ones were very tasty.
This kind of green peppercorns was particularly fragrant, and the taste was stronger than the ones on the market. After being fried in oil, it smells with a faint fragrance. When eating grilled fish, the flavor was soaked in the fish, spicy and fresh, and the aftertaste tasted sweet. Or if they didn’t like it, they could just eat tender fish, and not need to put their chopsticks down, and when they occasionally take a bite with their teeth, the flavor spreads from the teeth to the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth, and the more they ate, the more happier they ate.
Tang Jinyu likes it very much. He rarely eats spicy food, but he can eat a little pepper.
The afternoon was spent relaxing. After setting up the tent, everyone rested for a while. The old people went to rest in the RV, and the rest went to rest in the tent. Old Ape didn't sleep, and took Yue Yuan to stroll around, and was using the scenery to recite poems, and the sense of literature and art in his bones has been there for so many years.
Han Yichen didn't enjoy fishing just now, so he planned to catch one by himself and take a photo for his sister, but she didn't see it.
Across a few empty tents, Xia Ye lay in a tent on the corner to rest.
There was a sound outside the tent, and the zipper was quickly opened. Xia Ye lay still and looked up, and he saw the little guy.
Tang Jinyu opened it up a bit, got in by himself, and closed the tent again.
Xia Ye asked him: ”Why didn't you go to bed?”
Tang Jinyu came over and lay down next to him, and put his arms under his head, ”I can't sleep alone.”
Xia Ye laughed, ”So squeamish.”
”No, our family had dinner late today, and I usually go to class at this time, and now I am particularly energetic and not sleepy. Brother, or you can tell me a story…”
Xia Ye turned sideways to see him, pinched the tip of his nose, ”You're not squeamish? So, I'll send you to grandma's car, and let her tell you something you love the most.”
Tang Jinyu curiously asked, ”What?”
