I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 120 Picking up duck eggs

Baiyun Xi carried the basket on her back and crossed a mountain col before turning to the Qingshui River. She looked at a group of ducks swimming in the river. As soon as she got closer, the ducks fluttered their wings and flew away, leaving a patch of water, just like drizzle. Yes, he slapped her in the face.

Baiyunxi wiped his face with a handkerchief, looked at the gray duck flying away, and sighed in admiration.

●It turns out that wild ducks really can fly!

Where there are wild ducks, there must be wild duck eggs. Although she can't catch ducks, she can go up the river and look for duck nests to see if there are any duck eggs to pick up.

 In the memory of the original owner, people in the village often picked up wild duck eggs. It was not unusual at all, it was a common thing.

Some people come back from the fields and walk along the river. If they are lucky, they can pick up a few fresh duck eggs to take home as a dish.

Baiyun Xi looked at the stream upstream, hesitated for a moment, and then carried the basket up.

It's the busy farming season now. Everyone is busy with the autumn harvest and has no time to hang out. She can come over and try her luck.

Walking up the river, when he reached a shallow shoal, Baiyun Xi saw that there was no one in front of him, so he took off his shoes and socks and went into the water with a basket on his back.

The water in the river is cool, just up to the ankles. Some egg-laying ducks like to lay their eggs in this shallow water.

Baiyunxi bent down, stretched out her hand and groped in the river for a while, and sure enough, she touched a green-skinned duck egg.

I shined it in the sun and shook it again. The yellow color was not gone, which proved that they were fresh duck eggs.

While touching the duck eggs, Baiyunxi also found screws.

It really takes no effort to get it. People in the village don't eat this thing because they think it's troublesome. Occasionally they take some home and smash it to feed the chickens.

As long as you pay attention, there are surprises everywhere.

 A moment later, I touched a second duck egg...

 After she crossed the shoal, she found ten duck eggs and two or three kilograms of screws in the basket.

 The screws in Qingshuihe are already very clean. After going back to spit out the dirt for a day, clean it up, and fry it with spicy pepper, it is also super delicious.

Perilla leaves are an indispensable companion for frying snails to remove the fishy smell. They are everywhere along the river. They are ready-made seasonings. You can just pinch a handful and take them home to eat.

Bai Yunxi put on her shoes and socks, picked up the tender perilla leaves, and pinched half of the perilla leaves. It was a pity that no one would eat such tender perilla leaves. She happened to have some lean meat at home, so she went back to make some perilla sauce mixed with rice. , is also good.

After packing up, Baiyunxi walked home along the Qingshui River. In the distance, he saw the wooden bridge at the head of the village, surrounded by a bunch of people, noisy.

 When she saw Baiyuntang in the crowd, she subconsciously stopped and did not move forward.

At this moment, Baiyuntang was grabbed by the collar by a middle-aged man and shouted loudly away.

"My surname is Bai, please touch your conscience. My sister can't stand you anymore. Let's break up. I thought there was a conflict between your clan and just take her back after a while. It's only been a few days and you're talking to the neighbor next door." The little widows in the village are so tired of being together that they treat us like monkeys?"

"Sun Mao, I advise you not to act recklessly. Since the divorce certificate has been given to Mrs. Sun, there will be no relationship between us. From now on, the marriage of a man and a woman will have nothing to do with each other. Are you kidding me?"

Bai Yuntang shook off Sun Mao's hand and replied with a stern face,

"You used to be my uncle, and I tolerated and respected you. But now we are just familiar strangers. You'd better be polite to me. You have to think carefully about doing anything wild in our village. "
