SIAS Chapter 217.1

Grilled Fish on Slate (1)

Sorry, everyone, I didn’t update these few days, as I was not feeling well.

Here is the update that you’ve been waiting for~


 

Although the beautiful scenery was discounted, the food was still very healing.

They took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, sat on the edge of the big rock, soaked their feet in the cool stream, and held the fragrant pig’s trotters in their hands.

“This place is not bad. The key is that you can soak your feet—”

Snap!

Snap!

Li Mengxue’s self-consolation was just halfway through when she was interrupted by two snaps. The sound took a detour and was a little distorted: “Fish!”

“Quick! Catch it!”

The others were also surprised and happy. They put down their lunch boxes and jumped into the water.

The water barely reached their ankles.

The fish somehow jumped from the river channel that was washed out by the river water all year round to the shallow water puddle at the bend next to it.

The fish was not small. It must have weighed several catties. The water in the shallow puddle could not even cover its belly, so it could only churn there.

Wang Lingling and Li Mengxue, who were sitting closest to the puddle, arrived first.

Neither of them had ever caught a live fish before. This fish was so big and powerful. After hesitating for a moment, they became ruthless and pressed it down.

After they pressed down, the splash of water from the struggling fish made them scream and tilt their heads back.

“Ahhh! I can’t catch it!”

Yi Qingqing and Qian Lailai, who came later, looked at the fish that was pressed so hard that only half of its tail was still moving.

They laughed and said, “Be gentle, be gentle! If you press any harder, the fish will be crushed to death! Haha!”

It was Xie Shiyan who went ahead to rescue them and pulled the fish out.

At this moment, the fish was breathing out more than breathing in.

“Haha, we’re so lucky! I told you to eat here, and look at this! We got fresh fish for free!”

Li Mengxue freed her hands and said happily.

“This fish is so stupid, how can it jump to the shore by itself!” Wang Lingling was also very excited and said while washing her hands.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a pot, otherwise, I could stew it now!” Qian Lailai said, touching her chin.

“I just bought the seasoning today. How about…we grill it?” Chen Zhihe suggested.

It would be a pity not to add a meal to such a fish that came to the door.

So the picnic turned into a cookout.

The male comrades went to the bushes by the river to collect firewood, and the female comrades cleaned up the fish.

Yi Qingqing looked around at the surrounding stones and found it!

She stepped on the water and turned over the flat stone.

Not bad. It’s big and flat enough.

“Let’s use this as a pot to grill fish!” Yi Qingqing held up the stone and turned to say to her friends.

Li Mengxue’s eyes lit up.

Yes, if there is no pot, you can use a stone slab!

“This is it! Qingqing, you are so smart!”

“Then I’ll build a small stove.” Said Yun Guyuan.

Just use a wooden stick to make a fire. If you use a stone slab, you need to make a small stove that can hold the stone slab.

Seven people worked together to make the fish that was still alive and kicking just now become a sizzling roasted fish on the stone slab.

In fact, the food they bought from the state-owned restaurant was enough to fill them up, but the big fish that was added temporarily was still eaten up by them. Each of them was full.

“Why do I feel that this fish is better than a pig’s trotters?” Qian Lailai smacked her lips.

Wang Lingling also said, “This is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten!”

    Do not use river rocks to cook with! It’s indeed tempting due to them often being flat, but MANY, have water inside them! Heated up on a fire, they explode.
