After returning home, his mother, Zhang Li, began to cook this life, while Zhang Ran and his sister built a fire pit with stones in the yard, lit a bonfire in it, preparing to grill the fish for food later.

In addition, Zhang Ran picked out two fat crucian carp from the fish that had been killed and handed it to his mother Zhang Li, asking her to make some water, put the crucian carp into a pottery jar and cook it, and made a large jar of delicious crucian carp soup.

As for the remaining catfish, straw carp, carp and other fish bones that have more fish bones or are not very delicious when cooked, Zhang Ran plans to deal with it and then directly make grilled fish with fire to eat.

In the eyes of foodies in later generations, everything can be barbecued. Due to its influence, Zhang Ran naturally had a special liking for barbecue. Although there were no peppers, cumin, and beer in ancient times, this still could not stop Zhang Ran's burning barbecue heart.

In order to satisfy his wish, Zhang Ran did not hesitate to use the sharp stone piece picked up by the river to cut the remaining fish into two halves. Then he asked for a jar of salt from his mother, dig out some salt grains with a wooden spoon, melt them with warm water, then evenly coated the fish with salt water, and then put them on one by one with a wooden stick.

In this era, salt is a very precious thing. Even if it is a large salt particle that looks very coarse, Zhang Ran would not give up a waste. It is impossible to sprinkle salt like in later generations. If the salt particles fall on the ground and cannot be picked up, wouldn’t they feel sorry for it? Therefore, if you melt it with warm water and apply it, you don’t have to worry about wasting it.

As for the strings of grasshoppers they caught, Zhang Ran did not let them go. He also used a fine wooden stick to string them into two long strings, and applied some salt water to set aside...

When the wood in the campfire was almost burning, Zhang Ran took a few long wooden sticks, then built a simple bracket at both ends of the fire, and placed the wooden sticks strung with fish on the bracket, and slowly turned them...

"Crack..."

The fiery red firewood crackled, and the fish on the bracket was quickly burned by the flames to produce most of the moisture. Gradually, a faint smell of fish slowly began to spread around.

"Sher..."

After a while, the fat in the fish began to soak out bit by bit. The hot flames were roasted and a strong fragrance could be smelled from a distance.

"It smells so good!" The little girl Sui'er squatted in front of the fire, sniffed gently, staring at the fish on the bracket with her eyes fixed on her, swallowing her saliva constantly, and wishing she could rush up to her and eat her quickly.

Every minute or two, the little girl Zhang Sui'er would come to Zhang Ran's side stingyly and ask in a low voice: "Brother, brother, have the fish been roasted? When can I eat it?"

"Wait a little longer, you will have to bake for a while before you can eat it!"

Zhang Ran flipped the wooden stick slowly while answering casually.

"Oh, then you have to hurry up!"

The little girl was a little disappointed without getting the answer she wanted. She looked reluctantly at the grilled fish that seemed to be emitting the fragrance on the bonfire, and urged anxiously.

No matter how the little girl urged her, Zhang Ran still turned the wooden stick slowly and grilled the fish on the bracket evenly, trying to make each piece of fish fully heated and cooked thoroughly. During this process, Zhang Ran also carefully poured some salt water left in the wooden bowl on the fish bit by bit to make the fish more flavorful.

When the bonfire was almost burning out, Zhang Ran found a cleaner pointed wooden stick and poked it at the fish. Suddenly, a stronger fragrance spread.

Seeing that the fish was almost cooked, Zhang Ran took off one of the fish and handed it to his mother beside him and said, "Mother, the fish is grilled, you can try it first!"

"Carp, my carp..."

As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, Sui'er, who had been impatient on the side, immediately cheered, rushed to the barbecue rack like a whirlwind, tore off the largest piece of grilled fish like lightning, and took a bite.

"Hiss..., so hot, so hot!"

While the little girl was so hot that she was breathless, she couldn't wait to bite the fish, and at the same time she whimpered in her little mouth, "It smells so good, it's so delicious!"

"Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it... No one robs you, this kid!" Seeing the little girl eating voraciously, Zhang Li couldn't help but remind him.

"Woooo, it's so delicious, I can't help it! Mother, you eat it too!" The little girl agreed while swallowing the last piece of fish and reached out to tear off another piece of fish and said.

"Oh!" Seeing this, the mother could only sigh and shook her head and said, "You two can eat it first, the fish soup is almost ready, I'll get a spoon and a bowl."

After instructing Zhang Ran and his sister, Zhang Li got up and left and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhang Ran, who was standing by, saw that his sister was eating so happily, couldn't help but pick up a piece of grilled fish and put it in his mouth to take a bite. The moment the fish was in his mouth, Zhang Ran couldn't help but lit up his eyes and quickly accelerated the fishing speed. Soon, Zhang Ran ate all the fish into his stomach.

"I didn't expect that the fish in Qingshui River were so tender, so I put some salt and roasted it. It was so delicious..."

After eating a piece of fish, Zhang Ran couldn't help but exclaim. The fish was so delicious.

"High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking. After working for a few hours, Master Zhang... This will retain the pure natural fresh fragrance of river food to the greatest extent. After chewing the fish, it constantly stimulates the entire taste buds, giving people a huge taste enjoyment."

While muttering quietly, Zhang Ran continued to grill the remaining pieces of fish. As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing at the pig's scream...

......

When the remaining pieces of fish were almost baked, Zhang Ran could no longer hold it back. He just took the grilled fish off the stand, then immediately put it to his mouth and took a bite.

After swallowing a large piece of fish into his stomach, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there is no oil at home and no soy sauce, otherwise this grilled fish would definitely be more delicious!"

"There are some scallions in the backyard. If you want to use them, you can pick some..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Li had already walked out of the kitchen with a few wooden bowls. Seeing this, Zhang Ran hurried forward, took the wooden bowl and wooden spoon from his mother, and lifted the lid of the clay pot on the fire.

After the lid was opened, a whirl of white air rose from the jar, and a faint fragrance spread out with the mist. Zhang Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance, and then looked down at the jar.

In an instant, I saw that the jar was filled with milky white soup. In the jar, the white and tender crucian carp meat continued to roll up and down with the soup, and the fragrance was everywhere, making it even more intoxicating.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but scoop some with a spoon and put it to his mouth to taste it carefully. The moment the fish soup was in his mouth, Zhang Ran felt a heat flowing into his abdomen with his throat, and the pores all over his body stretched out, and he seemed to be energetic.
