Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 204 Fish Head Soup

The fish head soup she was going to make was different from the previous ones.

The heads of these whitefish are too small and have little meat. After Qiao Xi finishes cooking the soup, he will take them out and throw them away so that they won’t stay in the soup and affect the taste. He mainly uses the fish heads to enhance the freshness.

At this time of year, the farm is full of crispy and tender grey thistles. You can pick a handful and cook them in delicious fish head soup. They are soft, tender, fresh and fragrant, which is absolutely amazing.

And there is a lot of it. You can cook a big pot like this and feed all the little ones on the farm.

Of course, the golden macaques are not included. Since the production line stopped working, they took the reward given by Josh and ran back to the mountains with their families, under the pretext of fighting for territory again.

However, according to Qiao Xi's observation, they probably went up the mountain to show off. They had long lost interest in the wild fruit forest on the mountain and wanted to stay on the farm. This time, they might have gone up the mountain to provoke their old rivals and make them angry.

But, it's just the nature of animals, and Josh can understand it.

Large handfuls of gray thistle are rinsed under running water, arranged in a clean bamboo basket, and wait to be put into the pot.

The fish oil was put into the pot and the fat was extracted. Then the dried and browned fish oil was fished out and thrown to the two hungry bear cubs on the side.

If you think Qiao Xi’s fish are not fried dry enough, the little Ringtail Fire Bear can add some more fire to the fish oil residue and fry it until it is dry and crispy.

However, the fish oil residue was limited after all, and the two little bears quickly finished the fish oil residue that Josh left for them.

He turned his attention to the half basket of whitebait that died most miserably in Little Bear's possession. Josh had also removed the heads of these fish and hung them out to dry. After all, he had promised Little Bear that he would have a share.

It was hanging next to the two little bear cubs.

Poof! A small fireball flew over, leaving the chosen fish unharmed.
No, it can't be said to be unharmed. Josh glanced at it and it seemed that there was a little bit of burnt black on the tail.

She pretended not to notice and didn't dare to look closely, because the little bear cub of the Ringtail Fire Bear was obviously red and warm. A series of small fireballs with exhaust were thrown at it, successfully roasting the fish body into a black charred corpse.

Here, eat! Ring-tailed Fire Bear jumped over in two or three steps and handed the miserable dead fish corpse to Little Star.

"Hulu?" "Give it to me?" Little Star didn't want to eat it very much, so he hesitated and didn't reach out to take it.

"Boo-boo-boo!" Ring-tailed Fire Bear was furious. He put his hands on his hips and looked at Little Star angrily. "You don't even want the thing I gave you?"
Josh turned his back, not wanting to get involved in their war, lest he get hurt.

There was too much fish oil in the pot, so Qiao Xi took the opportunity to skim out a lot of it. Otherwise, it would be too greasy and it would be like drinking fish oil instead of fish soup.

There was just the right amount of fish oil left in the pot, and Qiao Xi put the cleaned fish heads in. The hot oil instantly wrapped around the numerous white fish heads, bringing out the freshness and fragrance of the fish heads.

The head of the whitebait fish is not big, and it is fried after just two stirs. Add the prepared boiling water, and the soup will instantly turn milky white.

The effect was better than she had imagined. She originally thought that the whitebait's head was too small to be fried into a milky white soup. It seemed that she had underestimated this kind of fish.

After the minced meat on the fish head melted, Josh scooped it out with a large slotted spoon and tossed it aside. He then divided the thick white fish head soup into three parts. Since one pot of thistle wasn't enough for the elves, he divided it into three pots to ensure everyone had a share.

Josh and Oswin also had dinner. The fresh wild vegetables paired with the fragrant fish head soup were a delight for both herbivores and carnivores alike. The big-tailed yaks and the hopping lambs all found the food delicious and irresistible.

After the delicious fish head soup was drunk, the farm became lively again.

The next morning, Qiao Xi didn't rush to clean up the dried fish that had been hanging overnight. Instead, he went to the spider grass to pick up all the little spiders.

Although Oswin had prepared a number of medical supplies, most of them were internal medications like potions. He hadn't seen any similar bandages or Band-Aids made from special materials. Josh planned to have the Mian Mian Spiders work overtime to make some more.

It has been a long time since the last time we made self-adhesive bandages in the workshop. During this period, the spiders have been practicing hard every day, and they have mastered both their skills and ordinary silk-spinning to perfection (according to the melon-eating lamb).

As soon as Qiao Xi arrived, everyone was eager to show her the results of their hard training.

Qiao Xi only half believed what the spiders said and didn't dare to have too high expectations. He just wanted to make some progress compared to last time.

Seeing Qiao Xi's perfunctory expression of disbelief, Xiao Huang and several other little spiders who claimed to be the best among the soft spiders secretly made up their minds to give Qiao Xi a big performance and shock her.

Josh naturally didn't know about the little spiders' complaints, but even if she knew, she would just say quietly in her heart, "Just don't make a big deal out of it."

He saved one intact bud as seeds for next year's Warm Light Cattail, and planned to make the rest into bandages and Band-Aids. He would make some for the regular version, and some for the stronger version by mixing in a few more Warm Light Cattails, so that he could handle any special situations.

However, there are only so many Warm Light Pu, and no matter how hard you try, you can only do so much. This time, the Mianmian Spiders are not joking with Qiao Xi, it is really different.

Their skill proficiency improved more than a little, and they were quite skilled at spinning silk and weaving webs. Some little spiders even started showing off their skills in front of Josh.

That ultimate move, one after another, is hard to dodge.

This time, the bandages and Band-Aids were made perfectly to suit Josh's idea, with smooth white interspersed with golden warm velvet.

A gentle healing energy lingers within it, and it's clear at first glance that it's a fine product of intricate workmanship.

How's it going? Well done, right? The spiders asked Josh, waving their eight flexible legs.

"It's not just good, it's very good! Little spiders, this is what you are now!" Josh gave them a thumbs up, very surprised.

"It's amazing. You've improved a lot compared to before. You know, I'm impressed by you. Thank you very much for your hard work. Thank you, little spiders." Josh looked at them seriously and said.

It’s not that great, hehe. I just tried a little bit, haha ​​(hands dancing)
Josh praised us! (Spider Hug)
After Qiao Xi's sincere flattery, the spiders were so confused that they became extremely inflated.

They were happily circling around the workbench, wishing something would appear right now so they could show it off again.

Oh my, what is this?
A soft spider jumped up and successfully landed on the warm sun fleece placed beside it.

Waving her little feet, Josh asked if she wanted to knit these, we can continue!
