After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 6 Killing Pigs and Eating Meat
"Brothers, it's time to go home and eat!"
"Sister, you are finally back. We found out when we got up that you and dad had gone up the mountain. We almost went up the mountain to look for you, but grandma stopped us, saying that it was too dangerous for us to go up the mountain by ourselves and would not let us go." Bai Qinghai chattered.
"Third brother, I just wanted to go to the mountain to have a look, so I begged Dad to take me there. But we were lucky today, and we even hunted a wild boar and two pheasants!"
Bai Qinghu was very excited after hearing this. "Really? Daddy hasn't hunted a wild boar for a long time. Sister, you are really awesome. Can you take me with you next time? I am really good at archery!"
"Okay! Next time, I'll go with my brothers. My second brother's archery skills will come in handy!"
Bai Qingshan has always been steady. After listening to the conversation between his brothers and sisters, he quickly added: "It's better to ask Dad to go hunting with you. Otherwise, if you encounter larger animals, you can't rely on bows and arrows alone. Sister, aren't you going home for dinner? Why are you walking to the foot of the mountain?"
"Brother, when I went up the mountain, I saw a lot of wild ginger at the foot of the mountain. My family is having meat today, and I want to dig some to bring back for seasoning."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this: "What is wild ginger?"
Seeing the place, Bai Qingyun did not rush to explain. Although the land was dry in summer, fortunately it had rained two days ago. It did not take much effort. He just plucked up a handful and showed it to his three brothers.
"Is this yellow lump wild ginger? Aunt Wang also dug some and brought them home to eat. It was very spicy and made me sweat after eating it in the summer. Aren't we having meat tonight? Do we have to eat this... wild ginger?"
"Third brother, this wild ginger is a treasure. It is very useful for cooking or treating colds. It's too late today. If I have nothing to do in a few days, I want to dig some more to take home!"
Bai Qingyun took the wild ginger and started walking home. Along the way, he told his three brothers about the interesting things he had experienced on the mountain, which made them envious again. When they were almost home, they could smell the fragrance from the stove at home. Before they got home, their stomachs started to growl. There was chicken and mushroom stew in the big pot. Bai Qingyun cleaned and sliced the ginger and threw it into the pot. A large pot of stewed meat had just been put into the small stove, so he threw the remaining ginger slices in the pot.
"Grandma, this is wild ginger. You can add some to meat dishes next time. It can remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor."
After a busy period, the food was finally served. Everyone was already starving, so they just focused on eating and didn't bother to talk. Bai Qingyun held a bowl of chicken soup, watching everyone eating happily, and thought to himself with satisfaction: I will never let you go hungry again.
After eating the last piece of meat, Bai Qinghu followed the others and filled a bowl of chicken soup. He slurped the delicious soup and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Fortunately, there was a breeze at night, bringing some coolness. "Sister, I didn't expect that although this yellow lump doesn't taste good, it is really delicious when cooked. In the past, pork was directly stewed. I didn't feel anything before, but compared with today's meat, the meat in the past has a strong smell. Today, I ate an extra bowl of rice just by smelling the fragrance!"
Bai Qinghai rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, if we use it to cook fish, will the taste be different? There are a lot of fish in the stream, but everyone can't stand the fishy smell and would rather dig wild vegetables than eat this."
"Third brother is so smart. He can make fish delicious by using ginger." After Bai Qingyun finished speaking, he thought about the various ways of cooking fish in the modern world: steamed fish, braised fish, boiled fish fillets, pickled fish... Just thinking about it made them delicious. Even though he had just finished his meal, he couldn't help drooling.
"Suck it..."
"Little glutton, if you want to eat fish, let your brothers go to the creek to catch a few tomorrow. The fields at home are not busy for the time being, so you have just the time." Bai's mother couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter drooling at the thought of fish.
Bai Qingyun thought about her previous life when she was fleeing from famine. Because she was stupid, she was always coveted by others on the way. Her eldest brother was beaten to death to protect her. He had a high fever in the snow in winter and did not survive the winter. Her second and third brothers learned some boxing from their grandfather, but they were hungry for a long time and malnourished. In order to save a mouthful of food, the high-spirited young men starved to death on the way. She was reborn and returned. In this life, she must not repeat the same mistakes.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, go to the town to sell the Ganoderma tomorrow, and then go to the private school in town to ask."
Bai's mother was also educated when she was young. She was responsible for the enlightenment of several children in the family. All of them learned to read from an early age. When Bai Qingshan was a child, he was sent to a private school in the neighboring Lijia Village. However, as his younger brothers and sisters grew up, the family could not afford to support a scholar, so the three boys stayed at home to help tend the fields.
Now the youngest child has recovered from his illness. After going up the mountain, not only has the family's food improved, but tomorrow when he takes the two purple ganoderma to the town's clinic to sell them, the family will have some income. Seeing that the family's life has improved, as long as the family is not lazy, they can live a prosperous life.
Grandma Bai slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look. If they are suitable, I will send all three of them to study!"
Early the next morning, Bai's father took the two big Ganoderma lucidum to the town while there were few people around in the early morning. Bai Qingyun was thinking about the fish, so he pestered his elder brother to go to the bamboo forest on the mountain early in the morning, cut down a few big bamboos, and dug up a few bamboo shoots. There were still a few drops of morning dew on the bamboo shoots, which looked fresh. Before dawn, one of them carried the bamboo and the other carried a bamboo basket, and they arrived home.
When we got home, the courtyard was bustling. In the hot summer, meat could only be hung in a basket in the well to prevent it from spoiling. Grandma Bai looked at the fresh bamboo shoots and went to the well to get some meat left over from the pig slaughter yesterday, planning to make a bowl of fresh bamboo shoots and meat. When Bai Qingyun got home, he went straight to Grandpa Bai: "Grandpa, you made all the bamboo baskets at home. Make that one smaller and make the end of the basket smaller than usual. Can you make it?"
Grandpa Bai was confused, and said, "You can give it a try, but what can you do with that little bamboo basket? It's too small even for carrying things."
"It's not small. I plan to use it to catch fish, so a smaller one will be enough!"
Can this thing catch fish? Although Grandpa Bai was confused, he still dutifully followed his granddaughter's request. After a while, with the help of his grandchildren, the first fish basket was soon completed. Bai Qingyun was very satisfied with it. The basket was made thick and short, and the mouth was specially fixed with a rope to make it smaller. The straw rope was specially left longer, so that it would be convenient to tie something as a mark.
Bai Qingyun knew that his ideas were beyond the cognition of people of this era, so he said no more. After the family finished breakfast, Bai Qingyun called Grandpa Bai and his three brothers to go see the stream.
