So, when this group came back carrying five big fish, the person responsible for starting the fire and salting the meat was also wide-eyed.

“You…outdid yourself.” Qiu Er excitedly came over to take the fish.

They saw Lao San holding two fish, Xiao Shan, Bai Lingyu, and Bai Sasa each holding one, and each fish was not small in size—the combined amount almost matched what they could catch in a year.

“It wasn’t me who caught them.” Qiu San said, somewhat embarrassed.

“?” Everyone looked puzzled.

Except for Qiu San, who was wet halfway up his clothes, everyone else was dry. If not him, then who?

“It was Sister Junjun who caught them.” Xiao Shan answered loudly from the side.

At this moment, the little child was completely mesmerized by Bai Junjun’s magical fishing skills, affectionately calling her Sister Junjun with each mention.

Old Uncle Qiu could hardly believe it: “Junjun caught them?”

“Yes!” Bai Lingyu and Xiao Shan answered loudly again.

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on Bai Junjun.

The young girl still had a cold and indifferent expression, unexcited and not complacent about the sudden bounty of fish.

Madam Liu covered her mouth and laughed: “I really didn’t expect Miss Junjun to be so skilled at fishing.”

“You flatter me.” Bai Junjun humbly replied.

“Then tonight let’s boil two, grill two, and the remaining one we can make into dried fish… Father, what do you think?”

Madam Liu, another fish lover in the family, quietly sought Old Uncle Qiu’s approval.

Old Uncle Qiu rubbed his dry pipe and pondered for a while before agreeing.

Bai Junjun finally showed a slight smile, which was good; she enjoyed it!

Of course, the main reason Old Uncle Qiu agreed to eat four fish was to show his sons.

Look, they were worried earlier about the three siblings increasing their burden, but now they’re bringing food home themselves, and it’s even big fish that their family couldn’t catch!

Lao San, catching his father’s gaze, lowered his head in slight shame.

The fish soup, enhanced with ginger and tofu, was fresh and sweet—a fortifying soup for a mountain-dwelling family.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have tofu, so Madam Liu could only toss in a handful of leftover mushrooms from yesterday. Once the fish turned white, the soup thickened, and the mushrooms softened, she sprinkled some finely chopped Citrus medica into it, and a distinctive fragrance quickly permeated the air.

On the other side, the fish was also being grilled, along with a pig’s trotter.

This was tonight’s main dish, which was quite sumptuous.

It couldn’t be helped; all the dead stuff on Old Uncle Qiu’s flatbed would spoil in a couple of days if not eaten quickly.

This dinner, not only for Bai Family’s three siblings who had been escaping famine for a long time but also for Old Uncle Qiu’s own family—it was not something they normally indulged in.

After all, the game they caught was needed to be traded for rice, flour, and oil at the foot of the mountain; indulging like this was unthinkable.

So, at dinner time, everyone was particularly quiet, busily filling their stomachs.

The sweet fish soup, the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside grilled fish, and the crispy wild boar leg were each more delicious than the last.

Although their ingredients were limited, they were already delicious enough.

Compared with the food at noon, the addition of Citrus medica made it even more fragrant; Bai Junjun couldn’t understand the principle behind this, but she had to admit it was really…very tasty!

After dinner, Qiu Da and Qiu Er fetched several buckets of water and continued to burn the remaining firewood.

Later, they brought it to the shore of the Green Pool Shallow Beach, where Madam Liu took Bai Junjun and Bai Sasa for washing up.

“This is the soapberry I usually use. Just wet it, rub to create foam, and you can wash with it. It works for both hair and body.”

Bai Junjun had never seen such a thing. Where she was from, resources were scarce, and natural rivers and lakes no longer existed.
