    The carp was processed very quickly. Jiang Tian pressed down on the well and washed the surface and inner layers with clean water to his heart's content.

    With this effort, my grandpa feels much better. He is just old and has a bad heart. These are old problems.

    As soon as he recovered, grandpa started to clean up. He took out a fungus and shiitake mushrooms from the kitchen and dried them, soaked them in hot water, and handed the cleaned old hens hanging under the eaves to Jiang Tian.

    "You come and chop the hen into several pieces, and I'll go to the vegetable garden in the backyard." He held the sickle and the vegetable basket.

    Jiang Tian took it and put it on the cutting board. He turned the kitchen knife twice and chopped it hard.

    This old hen is free-range. It has been raised for many years. The meat is firm and it is a bit laborious just to chop it. When it comes to making soup, it needs to be stewed for a while. Otherwise, let alone a grandpa, he is just young.  , Jiang Tian, ??who has good teeth, can't even bite it.

    It took a lot of effort to chop up the old hen. Grandpa also came back from the vegetable garden. The vegetable basket contained leeks, chopped green onions, and coriander.

    ¡°Come here and pick leeks, and leave the rest to me!¡±

    Jiang Tian moved the bamboo stool out of the kitchen, washed the basin, and started picking leeks.

    Grandpa went to the kitchen, lit the earthen stove, added a few pieces of wood, took a large iron pot that had not been used for a long time, rinsed it with clean water several times, and placed it on the stove.

    When the water in the iron pot evaporates, pour a little peanut oil, and the fragrance of peanuts will spread. This is pure peanut oil.

    After the oil is slightly hot, pour the old hen pieces into it, stir-fry twice, pour in enough water, and cover the pot.

    The old hen is ready and needs to be stewed for a long time. Just add some wood from time to time to prevent the fire from going out.

    It was still early anyway, so grandpa found a stool and came over to pick leeks with Jiang Tian.

    While picking it, I recalled the past.

    "I still remember that when you were little, your mother often brought you here. You were so naughty at that time that you couldn't control yourself at all. One time you ran up the mountain while we were not paying attention, but it made us anxious. I remember  That seemed to be the first time your mother hit you, right?"

    Jiang Tian nodded, "This is the only time. I will be more honest in the future."

    "I didn't expect that such a long time has passed in the blink of an eye. You are already such an old man, have you graduated?"

    ¡°It¡¯s coming soon, I¡¯m currently interning, and I¡¯ll graduate in a while.¡±

    Grandpa looked at him and said, "Did you encounter something in the company, so you came back to relax?"

    Jiang Tian was a little embarrassed. Sure enough, it was the younger ones who were older. He could see the problem at a glance. He did not hide it. "The company's intrigues and intrigues are not suitable for me. This kind of natural place is more suitable for me."

    "No, it won't work. People are social creatures after all, and they still have to participate in work. But now you don't have to worry about work. Just rest here for a few more days, and grandpa will prepare delicious food for you."

    The two people were chatting, and the scene was very harmonious.

    The sun was originally shining, but it gradually dimmed. The sky was a little gloomy, as if it was about to rain, and the mountains not far away were shrouded in smoke, as if a shy girl was covering it with a gauze scarf.

    Grandpa picked the last handful of leeks, put them in a basin, and washed his hands.

    "Look at this, there should be heavy rain tonight. In the afternoon, go to the fields and dig a ditch, otherwise the crops will be flooded."

    "Let's stew the carp first. I think it can be cooked with the old hen."

    The carp had been processed earlier. Grandpa took a kitchen knife and divided it into five sections, one for the head, three for the trunk, and one for the tail.

    "Fish head has less meat and more bones. I will make a fish head soup for you when the time comes. It can supplement calcium and is very good for the body. It is just a few of us and we can't eat too much. One portion is enough."

    Grandpa put the iron pot on the stove, put in oil, carp, water, and cut green peppers, garlic cloves, and ginger slices on the chopping board.

    After about half an hour, the lid of the pot was opened, and the heat was rising, accompanied by a strong aroma.

    Grandpa could not help but admire, "It smells so good. This is the first time I smell this smell. I originally thought that the carp that was too big would have too old meat and not enough fragrance. But now it seems that I was overthinking it."

    He added green chili peppers, chopped garlic, ginger slices, and poured in a little salt and cooking wine.

    When it comes out of the pan, sprinkle a layer of coriander on it to make the taste even richer.

      "Grandpa, how about we eat outside today? It's too hot inside the house." Jiang Tian suggested.

    "Okay, let's eat outside." Grandpa smiled, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

    Jiang Tian moved the table out of the room, washed the dishes and put them in place, and took out a lot of dishes.

    Grandpa pretended to have an excuse and put it in a big bowl, "Here comes the carp!"

    The aroma is overflowing, the milky white fish soup is mixed with green peppers and coriander, the mix of green and white makes people appetizing just by looking at it.

    "Try it!"

    Jiang Tian took the spoon and took a sip. The delicious taste made his taste buds explode. It flowed down his throat and into his belly. A warm current rose up, lifting his whole spirit.

    ¡°It¡¯s so delicious, grandpa, try it quickly.¡±

    "It's necessary. Grandpa's craftsmanship can still be bad." Grandpa also took a sip, his eyes widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

    ¡°This taste is incredible, I¡¯ve never tasted it before.¡± Realizing that he was a little out of control, grandpa patted Jiang Tian on the head.

    ¡°I¡¯ve really said a lot this day that I¡¯ve never seen such a big carp with such a delicious taste, it¡¯s all thanks to you.¡±

    Jiang Tian smiled sheepishly, "No, it smells so good. Is it okay for an old hen?"

    Grandpa rushed to the kitchen and shouted, "Okay, let's just wait and eat later."

    While grandpa was making fried duck eggs with leeks, laughter came from outside the yard.

    Uncle Wang and Uncle Guan walked in.

    Old Wang shouted: "Old man Ming, I can smell the fragrance of your house from all this distance. Is the big carp ready?"

    Grandpa looked over and said, "It turns out you two guys are here. Sit down. The dishes will be ready later."

    Uncle Guan put the two jars on the table, "This is the peach blossom wine and green plum wine I brewed. The alcohol content is not high, so young people can drink it."

    Lao Wang was holding the soup basin, "This is Lao Turtle soup that has been cooked for several hours. It is very nourishing."

    After more than half an hour, grandpa brought the remaining dishes to the table.

    A large table was filled with hen soup, turtle soup, carp soup, fried eel, and fried duck eggs with leeks.

    As for the crucian carp and those wheat ear fish, we can wait until tomorrow.

    "Come on, let's try some food!" Grandpa greeted.

    Lao Wang took a sip of the hen soup and said, "Well, it tastes good. It must have been simmering for a long time."

    He took another sip of carp soup and said, "I'll go, this soup is really delicious. Sure enough, the big carp is really special." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
