Chapter 207 Cooking and Sharing
The fishery's first catch not only yielded a bountiful harvest but also provided the team with a hearty meal. As the setting sun cast its last rays across the valley, its warm golden light seemed to cast a veil of tranquility over the land. Standing by the fishery, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan gazed upon the baskets of lively fish, their hearts filled with satisfaction. Today, the team would enjoy a delicious fish feast, the fruit of their collective efforts and a symbol of their self-sufficiency.

"Tonight, let's prepare a special dinner with fish as the main theme." Ye Wan looked at the team members with a smile, her tone full of excitement and anticipation.
Everyone was eager to taste the fish they had just caught. Although the fish were not large, their vibrant vitality and the hard work involved in catching them made this a truly special dinner for everyone.
Xie Linchuan stepped aside and took out the knives and pots he had prepared. "Let's divide the work and work together, making sure everyone can participate," he said, and began cleaning the fish, scaling and removing the internal organs. Ye Wan also picked up a fish, expertly scraping off the scales and cleaning it.
Although most of the group wasn't skilled in cooking, they volunteered to help prepare the fish feast. Wang Rui and Li Xue began preparing side dishes, gathering wild vegetables from the valley or picking herbs and fruits. The other team members were busy building the fire and preparing the utensils.
"This fish looks very fresh, with firm meat. It should be delicious." While Wang Rui was processing the vegetables, he couldn't help but admire the fish next to him.
"Yes, after months of waiting, this day has finally arrived," Li Xue said with a smile. "It feels really different to eat the fish I caught myself."
Cooking process
Under the guidance of Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan, everyone began preparing this special fish feast. Xie Linchuan pan-fried the fish until golden brown on both sides, then added spices picked from the valley, gradually releasing an alluring aroma. Meanwhile, Ye Wan prepared a pot of clear broth nearby, slowly simmering the remaining fish. The broth was clear, and the fish was delicious and fragrant.
"This dish is simple, but the fish broth brings out the fish's flavor to its fullest." Ye Wan explained with a smile, "We need to maintain the heat and not simmer it for too long to ensure the fish is tender and fresh."
Wang Rui and Li Xue cleaned and chopped wild vegetables, stir-fried them in a pan, and finally added some wild mushrooms and herbs. The entire camp was filled with the authentic, fresh, and natural flavors. Their combinations and cooking techniques were eclectic, transforming simple ingredients into delicious dishes.
"Everyone, come and take a look. How about this dish of stir-fried wild vegetables with herbs?" Li Xue smiled and brought out a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, which smelled fragrant.
"It looks delicious!" Xie Linchuan praised with a smile, "Every achievement of labor is worth celebrating. With everyone participating, the dinner will definitely be more meaningful."
As the food was finished one after another, the aroma of grilled fish, the fragrance of stewed fish, and the sweetness of wild vegetables came together, as if the entire valley was immersed in the beauty of this dinner.
Team Sharing
When dinner was ready, everyone gathered around the campfire in the camp, with the table filled with this special fish feast. Whether it was fried fish, stewed fish, or stir-fried wild vegetables with herbs, it was the result of everyone's joint efforts.
"Come, everyone, try the fish you caught." Ye Wan picked up a piece of fried fish and handed it to Xie Linchuan with a smile.
Xie Linchuan took it, took a light bite, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face. "It tastes so good! It's even more delicious than we imagined. Look, it's really great that everyone can enjoy this meal."
The other team members also sampled the various delicacies, enjoying the fruits of their own cooking and fishing. Li Xue was grinning from ear to ear, while Wang Rui couldn't help but praise, "This is better than any meal we've had before! Not only in taste, but also in the meaning behind it."
Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan sat among the group, watching everything silently. She knew that this meal was not just about satisfying their appetites, but also a symbol of teamwork and a reflection of their cohesion.
"This meal represents not only the deliciousness of the fish, but also the hard work and dedication of each of us." Ye Wan raised her glass and smiled at everyone, "Today we are eating the fruits of our labor. Tomorrow, we will continue to build a better future with our own hands!"
All the team members raised their glasses and responded in unison: "Cheers to our future!"
Around the warm campfire, the team members' faces were filled with happy smiles, and their laughter and conversations echoed in the night sky. The air was filled with the aroma of fish, the smoke of firewood, and the intimacy and warmth that had long been missing in the valley.
Motivation and encouragement
After dinner, the atmosphere was still warm and cheerful. Ye Wan stood up and took the opportunity of dinner to encourage everyone to continue working hard to build a better home.
"Tonight, we celebrate our harvest, but tomorrow, we must continue our efforts." Ye Wan's voice was soft but firm. "We've taken the first step. The success of the fishery has provided us with more resources, but this is just the beginning. In the future, we need to continue to reclaim land, grow more food, and develop more self-sufficient industries. Everyone's contribution is crucial!"
The team members listened attentively, and the atmosphere became warmer and more resolute.
"Sister Ye is right. We have made a good start, and the road ahead will definitely get better and better!" Li Xue responded first, and other team members also expressed their willingness to contribute their own strength to the team's construction.
Xie Linchuan stood in the crowd, a gentle glint in his eyes. "Today, we not only harvested fish, but also gained the trust and strength of the team. Tomorrow, we will go further together."
The team members nodded and said in unison: "For the future of the camp, let's work together!"
That evening, everyone gathered around the campfire, discussing future plans. The night gradually enveloped them in the gentle breeze, and the starry sky slowly lit up. Tonight's dinner not only nourished everyone's bodies but also warmed their hearts. This team was gradually taking shape, becoming more resilient and united, and this valley was quietly witnessing their growth and glory.
