Chapter 71 Spicy Grilled Fish
Mu Yuanyuan squatted beside the small wooden bucket, her big round eyes unblinking and looking at the several big fat fish jumping inside with great concentration.

Just as Aunt Zong was about to lead her to stand up, Mu Yuanyuan raised her round little face and her big black grape-like eyes were bright and clear. "Mom, Yuanyuan, can you come and carry the bucket?" Her babyish voice was full of seriousness.

Although the small wooden bucket was not big, it was still bigger than Mu Yuanyuan, who was only three years old. She wrinkled her little face and couldn't lift it up even though she had exhausted all her strength.

The little guy bent over angrily, but the little wooden barrel remained motionless. His cute appearance made several people around him look at each other and smile.

Mrs. Mutai also liked her granddaughter very much. She gently rubbed her little head and said, "Yuanyuan, grandma will help you carry it."

Aunt Zong was an honest person. When she saw that Mrs. Tai wanted to carry the bucket herself, she hurriedly came over and said, "Mrs. Tai, I can't trouble you to carry it yourself. I'll do it."

The whole family walked towards the cabin happily, chatting and laughing.

Ruan He quietly entered the space while others were not paying attention, picked through the shelves, and selected several jars of spices.

She had already opened the small wooden basin and took a look. It contained several small jars of seasonings and even some cooking utensils, but it was still not enough.

Ruan He mixed the seasonings he got from the space into it, and he couldn't tell the difference.

She separated a corner of the cabin and made a small compartment to use as a small kitchen. Aunt Zong stood beside her to help.

Mu Yuanyuan was running around noisily, helping deliver various cooking utensils in an especially well-behaved and sensible manner.
Even though she was brought into the house and became an aunt and lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, Aunt Zong was born in a fisherman's family, and she was very skilled in handling live fish. She quickly knocked out the big fat fish that were jumping around and went to the house. The head, tail and internal organs were removed and processed neatly.

Ruan He also saved the effort of handling the fish. Based on the memory of her previous life, she planned to make a spicy grilled fish that was spicy and refreshing, just to satisfy her taste.

She minced the ginger and garlic she took out from the space, chopped the chili peppers Wang Xiaoer sent, mixed them together, added cooking wine and light soy sauce, and lightly mixed them into a marinade sauce.

Originally, according to the recipe of spicy grilled fish, the ingredients of this sauce are still a bit monotonous, but after all, we are on a ship, Ruan He can't take out too much seasoning from the space, which will arouse suspicion.

This kind of sauce is spicy enough when used to marinate grilled fish, especially since the raw materials are all live, fresh and fat fish, so the taste will not be any worse.

On the other side, Aunt Zong had already cleaned the fish and was waiting for Ruan He's instructions.

Ruan He picked up the mixed bowl of spicy sauce and poured it evenly on the fish one by one.

Ruan He was afraid of lighting a fire in the cabin, and the smell was too strong. After all, they had to sleep tonight.

She picked up the basin of raw fish with sauce and went straight outside.

As Ruan He walked outside, he slightly raised his chin towards Mu Yunxiao who was standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Help me set up a fire."

She won't let idle free labor go.

Mu Yunxiao chuckled, followed a few steps forward, and helped her set the fire to grill the fish without complaint.

Pour a little oil into the pot and put it on the fire. Ruan He put the fish in the wooden basin into the boiling pot one by one.

Under the burning flames, several fat fishes arranged neatly emitted a rich and delicious fragrance, which floated in the air and aroused the greed of the people around them.

"Gudong."

Mu Yuanyuan opened her round eyes wide and stared at the grilled fish with her scorching eyes, refusing to move at all. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her round little face was illuminated by the fire. It showed a bit of blush.

She was not too hot at all and was jumping around the grilled fish, looking forward to it.Mu Yuanyuan was originally a bit sweet and timid, but now that they have known each other for a long time, she stared at Ruan He eagerly with her big round eyes, full of shining admiration.

"Sister-in-law is amazing! It smells so good!"

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Ruan He asked Mu Yunxiao on the side to put out the fire, let it dry for a while, and then took down the grilled fish.

The hot steam rises up, and a large pot of grilled fish is filled with a strong spicy aroma, which reaches the tip of the nose and is so fragrant that it makes people lose their soul.

There were five fish in the basin, and each fish was plump and meaty. They just shared one fish each, and Aunt Zong and her daughter ate one fish, which was enough to fill their stomachs.

Wang Xiaoer was very attentive, and there were several pairs of chopsticks stuffed into the small basin he brought over.

Ruan He picked up a piece of meat from the belly of the fish and put it into her mouth to taste. The tender meat paired with the spicy sauce made her squint her eyes slightly.

Aunt Zong carefully picked up a small piece of boneless fish and fed it into the mouth of her daughter who was waiting to be fed.

Mu Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide with satisfaction, and blew out her breath. Her little face bulged up and turned red.

"Whirring whirring!"

There is no shortage of Hunan cooks in the mansion, but after being exiled for such a long time, they haven't had serious spicy food for a long time.

Not to mention the young Mu Yuanyuan, several others were also affected by the spicy food, but they couldn't bear to stop their chopsticks and ate to their satisfaction.

Mu Yunxiao happened to be sitting next to Ruan He. He lowered his head and took a bite of the fish. He looked at Ruan He who was having a hard time with his dark eyes. He laughed dumbly and praised: "Madam's craftsmanship is really good. "

His dark and gentle eyes met Ruan He's for a moment, and then they moved away.

"Zhizhi!" Panda smelled the fragrance, climbed out of Mrs. Mutai's body in a hurry, and called out anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's your share." Mrs. Mutai smiled helplessly, picked up a small piece of fish and fed it into its mouth.

Panda opened his mouth wide, bit into the piece of fish, and ate it hungrily.

Everyone was eating happily, and Panda had just taken a big mouthful of fish when he suddenly let out a high-pitched scream.

"squeak!"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the mouse, and they were startled, thinking something had happened to it.

Panda let out a squeaking cry, with tears streaming down his big eyes, but he was not idle at all. He stared longingly at the grilled fish in Mrs. Mutai's hand, with his mouth wide open.

At this glance, everyone could see clearly that Panda was boiled to tears and did not forget to ask for food.

Mrs. Mutai shook her head helplessly, joked in feigned anger, and fed it another mouthful of fish.

"Oh, it's so spicy that it makes me cry and it still wants to eat it."

"Yuanyuan won't even shed tears!" The little girl raised her head proudly, her face turned red from the heat, she kept breathing, and she didn't forget to compare herself with mice.
