Chapter 256: Big Sister is Really Awesome (Second Update)_1
All the youngsters nodded vigorously, swearing they wouldn’t run off on their own. After wandering around for a while, Yang Ruxin had Erni and Sanni take Sini and Xiaofeng to another room to sleep, while she stayed to watch over Xun Hui.
However, it was still a bit early for her, so she decided to grind the remaining small white shrimps into shrimp paste, otherwise they might spoil by tomorrow.
The youngsters said they weren’t sleepy and wanted to watch their eldest sister make shrimp paste, which they had never eaten before.
Yang Ruxin didn’t refuse. She took out the stone mill they had bought, cleaned it once, and then started grinding the washed little white shrimps with salt. Since there was no scale at home, the proportion of salt could only be estimated by eye. After all, it didn’t matter if the paste was a bit too light or too salty.
With a total of three to four jin of small shrimps, she quickly finished grinding them. She then put the ground shrimp paste into a clay jar; the hot weather was perfect for fermentation.
"Is that all?" The youngsters were all very curious.
"Mhm," nodded Yang Ruxin, "You can actually eat it now, but it will taste even better after fermentation. But be careful, this stuff can’t get wet—it’ll spoil if it does." She had grown up by the sea in her previous life, where it was common for fishermen to make these things.
The youngsters nodded earnestly.
Sini immediately licked her lips, "Eldest sister is so amazing."
