I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 117

117 The Four Treasures Know How To Play

She quickly shook her head, afraid that it would really come true.

“San Bao, although your idea is right, if Sir were to ask you this question, you would be tongue-tied.”

Mo Ruyue sighed. She was starting to feel that it wasn’t a good idea for her to teach the babies.

However, if she were to find a temporary teacher, she didn’t know what kind of rumors would spread in the village.

There was a lot of trouble in front of a widow’s door. Who asked her to have such an identity now?

!!
“Mother, I don’t understand.”

San Bao was puzzled. “I feel that mother’s way of doing things is not wrong. The principles taught in the books are not wrong. The answer I thought of is not wrong either. Why is this answer wrong in your eyes? ”

At his age, he could not understand more complicated things, such as this society, groups, conventions, and rules.

Only now did Mo Ruyue understand that it was not easy to educate people. Even she herself could not hand in a satisfactory answer, so how could she teach her babies well?

It seemed like she still had to find a teacher, and she couldn’t just find one randomly. After all, to Mo Ruyue, she hoped that her babies could receive a proper education and also hoped that they could maintain their original appearance.

The first day of teaching ended with a few hiccups.

Mo Ruyue had a new understanding of her babies’ intelligence and learning ability. She realized that she had still underestimated her babies. The contents of the previous lesson preparations were still too simple and not enough for them to learn at all.

When they were preparing to make dinner in the evening, Mo Ruyue decided to make a good meal.

Recently, she had been going out early and coming back late. The three meals at home were basically prepared by the babies themselves. Even if she was at home occasionally, she would only have a simple meal. It had been a long time since she cooked a good meal for the babies.

When the five babies heard that Mo Ruyue was going to cook a good meal, their eyes instantly widened. Even Da Bao, who usually didn’t show much emotion, was in high spirits. It was obvious that he was in an extremely good mood and was full of anticipation.

The Qin Family Village was in the mountains, so they didn’t lack game. While Mo Ruyue provided game for the county restaurants, she also made a variety of game food at home. However, she was going to change it today.

At this time, there were more than a dozen river fish in the big tank she bought. She had ordered them in the morning from the county town and asked the shop owner to help send them over in the afternoon. It just so happened that she could cook in the evening.

Through the young master of Guanglai Tower, Mo Ruyue even managed to get a few fresh fish, which was rare in the Inland cities. If Mo Ruyue had not given the young master a tiger, she would not have been able to touch the skin of the fish this time.

“Mother, are we only eating fish tonight?”

Si Bao was the most interested in cooking. When he heard that Mo Ruyue wanted to make an all-fish banquet, he followed her everywhere like a little tail and asked all kinds of questions from time to time.

He looked at the fish in the water tank. His mother said that it would be useful, and it really came in handy. There were so many fish in there, and they were still alive and kicking. They didn’t even suffocate to death.

“Yes, I’ll make a table of delicious food with fish tonight, but the all-fish banquet can have more than a hundred dishes at most, and at least a dozen dishes at least. Although there are six of us, we can’t eat so much. I thought that five or six would be enough.”

Mo Ruyue said as she started to prepare the ingredients.

Since it was an all-fish banquet, the main ingredient was naturally the fish. The most basic step was to wash the scales and remove the internal organs. Si Bao strongly requested to participate in these steps.

Although he was only six years old, his cutting skills were already impressive. He could also handle the ingredients with great skill.

Mo Ruyue let him do as he pleased. She had also re-selected the kitchen. It was fast and sharp, but she had to be extra careful when using it.

In terms of dishes, Mo Ruyue was preparing to make three cold dishes: fish roll with egg skin, fried fish strips, and sesame fish cake. The hot dishes were squirrel fish, tomato fish, and fish steak with hair and beard.

The three cooling and three heating dishes were taken from the famous “Baiyangdian all-fish banquet” in her previous life. There was originally a soup dish, but Mo Ruyue did not intend to use the soup from the “Baiyangdian all-fish banquet.” Instead, she chose the grass fish soup.

Grass carp soup had the effects of heating up the air, dispelling wind and removing dampness, improving the eyesight, strengthening the spleen, and the stomach. Now that it was summer, the human body was very humid, so drinking grass carp soup could dispel the dampness and nourish the body.

Other hot and cold dishes, except for squirrel fish and grass carp soup, were made with whole fish. After the scales and internal organs were dealt with, they had to be cut into pieces or strips, and marinated with various seasonings for a while.

When Mo Ruyue was processing the fish, she also demonstrated to si Bao first. Some of them only used a little seasoning or adjusted a few flavors. She only needed to give some instructions and Si Bao immediately got to work. This saved Mo Ruyue a lot of time.

While the ingredients were marinating, Mo Ruyue started to make the most time-consuming grass fish soup.

She first heated the oil pan to fry the fish. She then placed the fish’s head into the pan, followed by the body. After putting it into the pan, she let it still for two to three minutes. This ensured that the fish’s skin wouldn’t fall apart. She then fried the other side.

After the fish was fried, she added in the scallions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry, then poured in water to cover it and let it boil over high flame.

During the stewing process, Mo Ruyue took the opportunity to finish preparing the cold dish. When Si Bao told her that the fish soup was ready, she walked over and opened the lid. The fish soup had already turned tender white.

“This is amazing. How did the soup become like this? ”

Si Bao had never drunk such a fish soup before.

In the past, when Da Bao caught fish, he would roast it and share it with everyone. He had never thought that he could make soup. Even if he wanted to make soup, the stove at home was controlled by Mo Ruyue. Once it was done, it would be snatched away. Therefore, they almost never made a fire at home.

“Grass carp and carp can be boiled into a milky white soup. The essence of the fish is dissolved into the soup. Not only is the meat tender and fresh, but even the soup is extremely delicious.”

Mo Ruyue said, but her hands didn’t stop moving.

She lowered the flame and added a small amount of salt and white pepper to the soup. Then, she poured the cut side dishes, carrots, and mushrooms into the pot and continued to stew it on low heat.

Before covering the pot again, Mo Ruyue picked out the ginger slices and scallions in the pot, and the remaining celery leaves on the plate were to be used as flavor embellishments and were added after the fish soup was out of the pot.

This soup was not difficult to make. Compared to other more complicated soups, it could even be said to be extremely simple.

“Si Bao, Mother just made this soup. Do you know how to read it?”

Mo Ruyue knew that Si Bao wanted to be a chef in the future, so she deliberately brought him along when she cooked so that he could watch and practice more.

Although Mo Ruyue insisted that the babies should go to school, she never felt that being a chef was inferior to others. Si Bao was so talented. In the future, he would definitely become a famous chef.

At that time, money would still roll in, and who wouldn’t be a money tree?

Si Bao thought for a moment and immediately replied, “Mother, the four treasures have been mastered!”

“Oh, then tell Mother about it. Mother will ask questions and do a spot check before dinner later.”
