Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 502 A Heart Full of Filial Piety with Nowhere to Be Placed

A new wooden frame has been erected in the corner, and besides fishing nets, it is filled with various dried seafood. So, the first thing you smell when you walk in is the aroma of these dried fish.

Several large water vats have appeared next to the well platform, and a row of stoves has been added next to the oven.

Even the old osmanthus tree had its branches pruned more neatly.

She paused for a moment, feeling that something had changed, yet also feeling that nothing had changed.

A-Yue muttered something to herself, then turned around and went to the shed specifically used for feeding chickens and ducks.

The pen was fairly clean, and apart from the chickens and ducks, the family's ewe was leisurely chewing hay inside.

"Is it no longer producing milk?"

Sanchuan nodded, a smile on his face: "Yes, they started dying a few days ago. My older sister bought a new ewe, so there's no need to keep sheep that don't produce milk."

His eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Yue, you're back just in time! Let's have mutton hot pot tonight!"

"Lamb hot pot?"

Upon hearing this, A-Yue was filled with anticipation.

In winter, sitting around a steaming hot pot, enjoying tender lamb, is simply wonderful.

"Great!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands. "Then I'll have to save room for a good meal tonight!"

"I'm afraid... that won't work!" Sanchuan drawled out his words.

Turning around, Xu Anyang had already prepared the pot and brought it into the house.

"Huh? Why?" A-Yue was taken aback.

Sanchuan pointed to the house and counted on his fingers.

"Our new hot pot feast has several delicious soup bases, and this morning we also added Indian gooseberry juice. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it once you start."

The child spoke with great certainty.

Although A-Yue hasn't eaten it yet, she firmly believes it.

"The food is here."

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed with diners, so the broth in A-Yue's pot was fully boiling before the dishes were slowly served.

Ah Yue hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Anyang smiled and placed the dishes on the table.

"Of course they ate. You know that restaurant workers always eat in advance to fill their stomachs before mealtime, otherwise they won't have time when they get busy."

Xu Anyang left the small house.

A-Yue's attention was immediately drawn to the dishes on the table.

Since she was eating alone, she only ordered a meatball platter, half a portion of chicken and half a portion of fish, and a plate of seafood. She didn't want any vegetables with green leaves.

"Master, you come and have lunch first! I'll help you blanch the vegetables! I'm really good at it!"

As he walked, he kept explaining about the pots, chattering away: "Because we have a lot of guests today, all the six-compartment pots are being used at the front, and there aren't enough! For lunch at home, we're using a yin-yang pot, one side with a spicy broth and the other with a seafood broth. Although it's not as good as the lamb hot pot for dinner, it's still delicious!"

As he spoke, Sihai poured all the chicken and fish into the pot.

During this time, Sanchuan also prepared a dipping sauce for Ayue and brought her some mandarin orange juice.

Four eyes were fixed on A-Yue's reaction, and they were overjoyed when they saw her nod after drinking the mandarin orange juice.

Then Sihai picked up the cooked meat and put it into a small bowl.

"Master, you must dip it in this sesame sauce, it tastes even better!"

After hearing this, A-Yue picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks, dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in her mouth, her movements fluid and graceful.

After the chicken absorbed the spicy broth and was mixed with sesame sauce, it became tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy, instantly whetting her appetite.

"Delicious! Sihai is really amazing."

The little kid chuckled, "Big sister is amazing."

Then he placed the blanched fish slices into Ah Yue's bowl.

The fish slices are incredibly tender and fresh, with the unique, rich yet not greasy flavor of the seafood hot pot broth. The taste is completely different from that of the spicy hot pot, but equally amazing.

Sihai then continuously cooked bouncy seafood balls, crisp squid flowers, and plump oysters for Ayue...

Each ingredient presented a different flavor in the two different broths, making Ah Yue so engrossed in eating that she couldn't even speak.

"What's this seafood soup made with? It's so delicious!"

A-Yue wiped the sweat from her nose and gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Just as Sihai was about to explain, she stopped him.

"Wait, let me guess."

As she spoke, she picked up a clean soup spoon and scooped up a mouthful of soup, putting it in her mouth.

"Mmm, this is really fresh."
