Chapter 56 - Yeah Brother Li

Oh right! She can also catch some small fish while luring the yellow croakers. Small fishes were really easy to deal with, just simply stir fry them with the necessary ingredients. She remembered that the kids of this village usually go the river to play and sometimes they were lucky enough to catch some palm-size wild carps or sharpbelly. These fishes were too small to be used as a main dish but the villagers all loved to make fish soup when their kids brought wild carps back. 

However, sharp belly didn't taste as good when it's boiler compared to when it's roasted. The more Yu Dong thought about it the more she liked the idea, compared to the yellow croakers there was another dish that she couldn't forget and that was the crispy, spicy taste of Grilled Sharpbelly rolled with rice paper!

It's really a simple dish with a little golden crispy grilled sharp belly, She just needs to add some little fresh noodles, vegetables, rice paper and Boom…she will get a dish so tasty that it might be hard to resist. 

Crispy Golden Grilled Sharpbelly –  she once read in an article that it smells really attractive.

Fresh Sharpbelly can be grilled or fried after it's washed, then it should be cooked over a charcoal fire. When grilling, one needs to always turnover each side so that its scab is cooked without being charred. 

And once you smell its attractive fragrance then you can pick up a plate and enjoy it with spicy sauce! 

Yes! So what if they don't have meat? They will still enjoy a table full of dishes! 

After tackling the problem of tomorrow's morning breakfast and lunch, Yu Dong was once again filled with enthusiasm. She really didn't want to waste money by buying meat when she could hunt so easily with her spiritual power, if they use the meat at home for breakfast they would have to buy meat for lunch - that will be such a waste. The money at home was for renovating their house and Little bun, winter was coming and before that, she needed to build several heatable beds as well. This world has no such things as heatable beds and that was a troublesome matter as well, everything needed money and currently, she was broke! 

At such times Yu Dong would melancholy remember about all the savings she left in the modern world. In the apocalypse even if she was not the strongest officer, she was still a level eight cultivator and her demand was really high, never did she calculate about small expenses like buying meat before.

But Yu Dong only sulked for a little before picking herself once again, the money at home was for family expenses. So it can't be touched but as the head of the family, she can think about other options! Then she looked at Ye Liu and Shen Li and asked " do we have a fishnet at home?"

" of course we do" replied Shen Li, their mother in law's earnings from the hunt were often snatched away by Grandma Yu's third husband after he became the official husband, therefore, Mother Yu would often go to the sea and catch fish to supplement her family, though Grandfather Yu wanted to snatch that money as well but he was often stopped by Grandma Yu, who didn't like him forcing her eldest daughter to support her youngest daughter's kids. Grandfather Yu was simply barbaric, cruel and completely without any bounds but Grandma Yu was a bit decent when compared to Grandfather Yu. 

In fact, when Qiu Bai asked for separation in the entire Yu family only Grandma Yu refused him. She opposed the separation saying that she was still alive and there was no need for separation, if Qiu Bai wanted to separate then he needs to wait until he sees her coffin!

But Grandfather Yu made a fuss regarding Yu Cheng's studies saying Yu Dong's bad reputation would one day drag him and their family down one day. 

Even then Grandma Yu didn't agree in the end it was Chen Mi who begged to let them separate by saying that if he stayed back then he would be starved to death by Qiu Bai and Grandfather Yu, it was because of this reason that Yu Dong blamed Chen Mi and purposefully starved him and didn't let him eat his fell despite knowing that Chen Mi was pregnant. Yu Dong believed that it was because of Chen Mi that she lost the chance to ride on Yu Cheng's coattails. 

Yu Dong pursed her lips when she thought about these things, though she knew that Shen Li and Ye Liu didn't blame her but she still felt embarrassed. Hitting, abusing, cheating and now starving her husband, this Yu Dong was simply scummiest of the scum! 

"Liu, go back home and fetch my mother's fishing net, tonight we will go netting," said Yu Dong, she couldn't do much to change the past and could only make sure that these mers have fun from now on, so she decided to take them on their first adventure! 

" we? You mean to say that you are to take us fishing with you?" asked Shen Li, a bit bewildered at her sudden remark. No wife took her husband out of the house unless she absolutely have to, much less fishing and baiting, this was the job of a woman, what can two mer do? They didn't even know how to hold a fishnet!

" come on Li, live up," said Yu Dong as she patted his shoulder and winked suggestively " from where I come, men and women are equal. So I don't believe in such things that a mer need to stay at home, what I can do you can surely do it as well, I don't know about other mers but I will never restrain you guys, so have fun with me! Life is only this big what fun is it to stay at home, right Liu?"

" that's right brother Li, let's go and catch some fish!" Ye Liu's voice sounded from far away though even then the excitement in his voice couldn't be hidden. Ye Liu never went outside as a child, when his sisters would be playing in the village he would be washing clothes near the well, when his sisters were playing at the river, he was being beaten by his mother, so how could he not be excited about this?
