Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 419: Unfazed by Life and Death

They didn’t bring much seasoning, apart from the essential oil and salt, they also brought some chili powder.

Wen Shi threaded a grass carp weighing over a kilo, squatting at the upwind end to grill it.

His movements were leisurely, worried Yi Chichi might be eager, he softly said, "Let’s not rush, grilling fish takes time to be perfect. Once it’s ready, it’s yours."

"...Okay!"

"Want it spicy?"

"Is it good if it’s not spicy?"

"It’s delicious, fresh."

Before Wen Shi could respond, the village clerk spoke up first, "You definitely shouldn’t add chili, it spoils the freshness of the fish."

He then looked at Yi Chichi, "Girl, listen to me, uncle doesn’t lie."

"Okay, uncle!"

Yi Chichi readily agreed, and Wen Shi wasn’t particularly attached to the chili either.

Since his wife wanted non-spicy, then no chili it is.

So, in the end, the grilled fish Yi Chichi got only had oil and salt.

But the taste wasn’t lacking at all.

Everyone knows that Yi Chichi isn’t fond of carp, she usually only eats the belly part and leaves the rest.

But she devoured this entire fish by herself.

Even the fish bones she usually avoided, she patiently dealt with them.

Nothing else, it was just too exquisite.

A distinct, primitive purity of aroma and taste made it irresistible with each bite.

Once you start, you just want more.

After finishing one fish, she was pretty much full.

Wen Shi grilled the second fish, seeing her unsatisfied look, he asked, "Do you want more?"

"No, this one is for you!"

She waved her hand to refuse, and Wen Shi nodded, sprinkling some chili powder on it, making the village clerk’s face question in confusion, "Weren’t you going to skip the chili powder?"

Wen Shi righteously said, "Since we brought it, what’s the point of taking it back?"

That made a lot of sense.

Even Yaozi, who hadn’t planned to add it, followed suit.

Mu Da even handed over her fish, "Give me a bit."

Yaozi refused, "Not for you, you’ve been a bit overheated these days, need to eat lighter."

Yi Chichi looked at Mu Da, "Auntie, you’ve overheated?"

"From the fire pit."

The pit was too intensely heated, even scorching the pit straw, and sleeping on it surely leads to overheating.

"Drink some herbal tea to cool down."

Yi Chichi offered a sincere suggestion, Mu Da sighed, "Let it heal naturally, I’m really not interested in herbal tea."

"Is herbal tea hard to drink?"

As genuine Northeast locals, the village clerk and others had no concept of herbal tea.

Since herbal tea isn’t a tradition in the Northeast.

Seeing Mu Da’s face of disdain naturally piqued their curiosity.

"Those who like it find it tasty, those like me who don’t, find it worse than bitter medicine."

As soon as she said this, the clerk and others shivered. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Oh dear, bitter medicine is already unbearable, and herbal tea being worse, they couldn’t fathom what it could possibly taste like.

Not wanting to continue on this topic, the clerk swiftly changed the subject.

"Why are you so skilled at catching fish and gutting them?"

This was a good question, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Mu Da paused for two seconds, then said expressionlessly, "Is it possible I’m not just skilled at this, but I am familiar with all weak points of living things?"

This answer was a bit creepy.

Liu Chen puzzled, "What’s that about being familiar with all weak points of living things?"

Mu Da’s gaze fell on him, particularly focused on his weak points, calmly saying, "In short, it means I can make anyone die or become immobile in the simplest and most effective way."

Everyone fell silent at her words.

Yaozi, seeing this, tried to change the topic, but Liu Chen, like a curious baby, asked again, "Auntie, have you been to the battlefield?"

"Yes."

"What do you do when there are wounded soldiers on the battlefield?"

"What else to do? Save those who can be saved, go all out to save those who can’t easily be saved, and those completely gone are not our responsibility."

Her tone was constantly calm, reflecting a philosophical acceptance of life and death.

Dongzi raised his hand like an enthusiastic student, "Auntie, what do you do when someone’s leg is injured?"

"It depends on the situation, minor injuries are simplest, cleaning, bandaging, regular cleaning, and medicine changes. For broken legs, you treat it as a bone injury, more severe cases might need amputation."

Adding to this, she said, "I was originally a field doctor, my duty was to treat the wounded, relieve pain, and save soldiers’ lives as much as possible."

Wen Shi nodded in agreement, "Yes, the goal of a field doctor is to save lives."

He had experienced war, knowing the immense pressure field doctors endure on the battlefield.

Yi Chichi also understood, as in her original world her great-grandfather was a field doctor moving along with the frontline troops.

The elderly’s diary recorded his battlefield experiences and his emotional changes.

Putting herself in such an environment, she felt she’d go crazy.

Not having such strong willpower to face seemingly endless death, yet still maintain composure to save lives.

"Anyone who can be a doctor is strong!"

Especially battlefield doctors, they’re the strongest among the strong.

Doctors in peaceful environments fight death, but battlefield doctors amidst explosions fight death while trying to keep themselves alive.

Too difficult, really too difficult!

She held Mu Da’s hand, sincerely saying, "Auntie, you are my hero!"

Mu Da’s mouth twitched slightly, just about to speak, then Dongzi and others, tearfully said, "Mine too!"

Yaozi quietly handed the grilled fish to his wife, "Eat while it’s hot."

This fish looked somewhat unusual, after Mu Da took a bite, the flesh was incredibly tender, so delicious she wished she could swallow her tongue.

With a bite of fish down, she stared at the fish for two seconds, puzzled, "What kind of fish is this? It seems tastier than carp or crucian."

"Aohua."

Unfamiliar, never heard of it.

"Aohua is famous for its tender flesh, it’s just hard to catch."

Hearing this, Yi Chichi instinctively looked at the basket of fish, so difficult? They had caught quite a few.

Seeing her glance Mu Da figured she wanted to taste it too, offering the fish over, "Have a bite."

Yi Chichi, "??? I’m already full."

"Just a taste."

Good stuff ought to be shared, that’s Mu Da’s mindset right now.

Sharing with the younger ones and husband didn’t seem appropriate, she had pride.

Sharing with Wen Shi and them even less so, only Yi Chichi was suitable.

Thus, the reluctantly suitable Yi Chichi, at her enthusiastic urging, tasted a bit of the Aohua.

Not tasting was fine, but this taste left her incredibly impressed and craving for more.

"I want to eat this."

She looked at Wen Shi, who was prepared for this, nodding oh and handing over the unfinished fish, "Here, I’ll grill you another one."

"I’ll feed you."

Yi Chichi radiated joy, Wen Shi nodded, quickly cleaned a new Aohua by removing its gills, scaling it, gutting it, scoring it, then skewered it on a small stick to grill.

As he grilled it, Yi Chichi fed him with fish, Dongzi and others watched enviously, realizing they needed to find a wife.

Yaozi said, "Go find Aunt Ma, she’s good at matchmaking."
