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

Chapter 291 Golden Broth Sea Snake Meat Slices

Aunt Zhao waved her hands repeatedly after hearing this, while using a bamboo knife to pick out the innards of the tofu fish and talking incessantly.

This tofu fish is quite delicate.

You have to clean it while it's still fresh, otherwise it'll turn into a mess in no time.

So even when chatting, they dare not stop.

"Having a daughter is like raising her for nothing. When she grows up and gets married, you won't get much in dowry, and you'll even have to pay for her dowry..."

When she got to the end, Aunt Zhao drew out her words.

Xu Yiyi paused in her work, while Lao Lu, who was listening to their gossip, frowned.

"Bullshit!"

Old Lu was comfortably lying in the rocking chair, but upon hearing Aunt Zhao's words, he straightened up in anger.

"You old codger, weren't you a girl back then? Didn't your parents drown you in a chamber pot?"

Aunt Zhao blushed after Old Lu's words.

For a long while, they couldn't find a way to refute it.

Indeed, it's true that daughters are a money-losing proposition.

Unfortunately, she herself was a daughter and considered herself to be filial to her parents, sending many gifts to her parents' home during holidays.

It can't be called a money-losing product by any means.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore since you're right."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Aunt Zhao moved her hands even faster.

Aunt Rong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Yi Yi is also a girl. Not only is she not a money-loser, she's a gem. She can run a restaurant and support her younger siblings. If her parents were still alive, they would definitely be enjoying a life of luxury now..."

Aunt Zhao blushed not only in face but also in neck.

He looked just like a boiled shrimp.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Having a daughter is a blessing, but I'm afraid I'll never have that chance in my lifetime..."

Aunt Zhao muttered to herself; she was quite old.

Even with a change in mindset, it is impossible to regenerate.

As they spoke, Xu Yiyi sliced ​​a sea snake into paper-thin slices on the stove and pounded it with the back of a knife.

The snake meat slices will automatically roll into small tubes, revealing very delicate textures, and then be neatly arranged in a bowl.

"Sister Yi, this Aunt Zhao is really old-fashioned!"

Xu Anyang heated the iron pot on the stove until it was red-hot, clearly dissatisfied with what Aunt Zhao had just said.

Xu Yi didn't respond, but mixed ginger juice and rice vinegar into the still-uncongealed snake blood.

Then she sprinkled a small pinch of the fine salt she had processed.

The blood gradually congealed into a jelly, and when gently tapped on the wooden bucket, the blood clots would bounce up.

With a "rip".

She immediately poured the scalding hot broth made from fish and snake bones over the snake meat slices, and the slices instantly curled into snow-white rolls, floating on the milky white broth.

She then scooped a spoonful of congealed fresh snake blood and placed it in the center of the soup. The jelly melted slightly upon contact with the blood, and the soup gradually turned a pale pink.

"Would you like to try some?"

Xu Yiyi pushed the bowl towards Xu Anyang.

He swallowed his saliva back, thinking to himself that Sister Yi's cooking was really good. He squatted in front of the stove to tend the fire, and couldn't help but feel hungry.

Xu Anyang took a sip cautiously, his eyes widening instantly.

"So fresh! It's incredibly fresh."

Xu Anyang had never been to school, so he didn't know how to praise her at this moment.

Anyway, it's delicious.

Old Lu came over at some point, dipped his dirty finger in a drop of soup, and put it in his mouth.

Xu Yiyi's vision went black; she hadn't even eaten yet.

"It's really fresh! Snake meat is just different."

It's like swallowing a mouthful of ocean waves; the tip of your tongue first tastes salty, then sweet, and finally a hint of sweetness in your throat, making you want to drink another sip.

Xu Yiyi watched as Xu Anyang tasted another bite of the snake meat; it was incredibly tender.

"I was originally planning to roast the snake meat, but the weather changed."

As soon as she arrived in town, the sky darkened.

The sea breeze was blowing fiercely, and little Wuyuan had already changed out of his red bib.

I reckon the cold wave is coming quite early this year.

"Eating this in this weather makes you feel cool at all."

Xu Anyang praised her highly, thinking to himself that Sister Yi had been very insightful.

"We get to eat new dishes again today."

Old Lu happily poured half of the snake meat into a bowl and walked out.
