In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner
Chapter 14 Please call her a hard-working waterman
He Qiudi told Dalang and Sanlang not to make any sound. She carefully pulled out the long stick and waited patiently for the fish to swim to her side. She put her thumb in front of her eyes and measured the distance between the fish and the water surface. When the grass carp stopped moving, she would stab the fish with the long stick without hesitation!
With a "splash", the grass carp weighing several kilograms was pierced in the tail by the sharpened arrow. It swayed from side to side and tried to escape. He Qiudi raised his hand forcefully and threw the fish and the stick onto the riverbed.
The grass carp rolled on the riverbed, bringing up arrows and sticks and raising dust, but it couldn't jump back into the bay.
Sanlang happily ran towards the fish: "I caught it, I caught it~"
The little stupid cat also floated in the air, dancing with its hands and feet.
"Wow, wow, wow~ You are worthy of being the woman I chose. Amazing, really amazing."
He Qiudi looked at her speechlessly. She didn't want to be chosen. She just wanted to live in the modern world with air conditioning, watermelons and computers.
But her body has been blown into pieces, so she can't take over someone else's body.
I can only accept the reality of being reborn in ancient times.
┭┮﹏┭┮
I don't ask for great wealth and fame, but at least I can rely on my own abilities, eat meat every meal, and make this body taller and stronger.
He Qiudi glanced at the bay. The few remaining fish in it were frightened and dived deep into the water plants, disappearing without a trace.
I can only give up.
He Qiudi walked to the riverbed, picked up the long stick, untied the cloth strip on the arrow, and handed the still struggling grass carp and the arrow stuck in its tail to Dalang.
"Hold it carefully, both of you. Don't let the fish head hit you. I'll go look for basil, wild ginger, and wild onion. These can remove the fishy smell."
They climbed up the river bank in the direction of Shiliu Village and looked for perilla, wild ginger and wild onions along the way back to the village.
He Qiudi did not go far. He stayed on the river bank near the bay. While Dalang and Sanlang were not paying attention, he asked the little stupid cat to pour some water from the duck and fish ponds in the port into the bay.
Uh-huh.
Please call her a hard-working drainer.
Always remember the task of releasing water.
She didn't want to raise these fish and shrimp in the bay and catch them when she had time in the future.
"Aunt, aunt, we found basil, wild ginger, and wild onion~"
He Qiudi looked up and saw Dalang and Sanlang holding perilla, wild ginger and wild onion in their hands. She looked back at the gorgeous sunset behind her and stood up, lifting her skirt.
"Then let's go home."
It’s getting late, we should go back.
On the way back, everyone saw Dalang holding a fish and a pheasant in a basket, and asked him what was going on.
Standing on the village road, Dalang excitedly recounted the entire process of their hunting.
Everyone became envious.
The old girl of the He family awakened her bloodline after yesterday's bandit incident, and her hunting skills seem to be even better than when Grandpa He was young.
Old Mrs. He was washing household items at the old well. She was startled when she saw the three of them bringing back pheasants and grass carp.
"Nannan, you went into the mountains again? Are you really not afraid of encountering bandits again?"
She saw some of the scenes where bandits killed people.
I was so scared last night that I had nightmares and couldn't sleep much the whole night.
If there weren't so much work to do at home and if spring plowing and harvesting couldn't be delayed, she would have already been lying at home and sleeping.
I don’t know how her daughter managed to act like nothing happened.
"Mother." Seeing that Old Lady He was a little angry, He Qiudi walked to the old well, took Old Lady He's hand and acted coquettishly, "We only caught the pheasant on the hillside of this mountain next to the river bank. There are government officials patrolling the mountain, and the bandits are hiding in their lair and dare not come out, so they can't hurt us. You can relax."
He Qiudi said happily, "We have two pheasants and a fish, and we'll have a snack for everyone tonight. You have to teach me how to cook fish and pheasant meat. We also picked basil, wild ginger and wild onions. Dad and my second and third brothers are tired after a day's work, so it's a good time to eat more meat to replenish their bodies. Spring plowing and harvesting are tiring. Mom, you should eat more too, you have given so much for this family."
Seeing that He Qiudi assured her that they were only on the hillside and did not go deep into the mountains, Old Lady He swallowed her words of admonition.
The old daughter's filial piety warmed Mrs. He's heart.
It’s great to have meat to eat.
Since the drought began last year, she and the old man haven't had a good meal in peace for a long time.
He Qiudi walked to the washing area and said, "By the way, mother, Sanlang found three pheasant eggs. Can you help us hatch them? I want to try raising pheasants."
"it is good."
He Qiudi squatted down to help Old Lady He wash things: "Da Lang, San Lang, why don't you come and help. Help Auntie finish washing the things so that we can go home and boil water to pluck the chickens~"
"Grandma, aunt, I'm coming right over."
Dalang put the fish into the basket, put the basket beside him, then squatted down to help wash things. Sanlang went to the village to find Sanya and went home to boil hot water.
While washing things, He Qiudi took the opportunity to add a lot of water into the well.
After washing the clothes and returning home, He Qiudi took a small bucket of water to water the sweet potatoes he planted.
After watering the wheat straw thoroughly, He Qiudi carried the heavy bucket and ladle back to their original places, went into the house and changed into a pair of shoes.
Old Lady He had already scalded and plucked the pheasant. She was now carrying a basin to the village entrance to dissect the chicken and fish. When she saw He Qiudi carrying a pair of shoes and following her to the old well, she subconsciously said, "The well water is cold. Ask Erya to help you wash."
As he said that, he raised his neck and shouted inside: "Er Ya, let Da Lang help you chop the pig grass, and you come with me to the old well to wash your aunt's shoes."
"Grandma, I'll be there soon."
He Qiudi: “…”
It was just a pair of shoes. He Qiudi didn't have the nerve to ask his niece to wash his shoes.
But the original owner's clothes, shoes and socks were all washed by He Qingya.
If she suddenly stopped He Qingya from washing them, her personality would change so much that she was afraid of arousing suspicion from Old Lady He and the others. He Qiudi had no choice but to put her old cloth shoes on the ground, pouted at He Qingya, and folded her arms across her chest, looking righteous and confident: "Then remember to wash them clean."
He Qingya assured loudly: "Aunt, don't worry, I will wash it clean."
"Ah."
He Qiudi waved his hand and went back to the house to rest.
In fact, he went into the port space to take care of the vegetable fields and organize supplies.
The climate at the port is much warmer than that in Shiliu Village. The peppers, cucumbers, cowpeas, and water spinach planted in the vegetable fields are ready to be harvested.
He Qiudi called the little stupid cat to help, and together they harvested the ripe vegetables, and also planted some sweet potato vines, watermelons, pumpkins and winter melons.
These can be eaten as food.
More suitable for Pomegranate Village.
She harvested several large baskets full of vegetables from the two acres of vegetable garden. She moved the vegetables and chicken and duck eggs into the trunk of the SUV and drove the items back to the yard.
He Qiudi moved the vegetables back to the utility room in the backyard and arranged them according to categories.
As long as they were within the confines of her private residence, the vegetables would not go bad.
Everything will not spoil.
very nice.
From now on, she and Little Stupid Cat can store the chicken and duck eggs, fruits, vegetables and seafood they harvest from the fields here.
He Qiudi thought with some regret, it would be great if he could still make and sell boxed lunches.
Otherwise, these vegetables and chicken and duck eggs will be sold out quickly and turned into fat silver ingots, becoming a stepping stone on her road to wealth.
He Qiudi cooked two braised lotus fish for the little stupid cat and then left the port and went to the kitchen to learn how to cook from Grandma He.
It was almost dinner time, and Grandma He was preparing to teach her and her two nieces how to make braised pheasant with mushrooms and fish in sour soup.
He Qingya stared at Old Lady He's movements without blinking, wishing she could memorize all the steps as if they were engraved in her mind.
It’s unknown how many years these two pheasants have lived. When their fat is put into the pot over low heat, the aroma immediately fills the air.
This braised pheasant dish does not require much technical skills.
Render the fat and put it into another small clay pot, then pour the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fry.
The two pheasants weighed more than four pounds in total, and had a lot of meat. When stir-frying, a lot of oil under the skin was rendered out. Grandma He put the oil into a small ceramic pot, added salt, and when the bottom of the pot became a little sticky after stir-frying, she took out half of the chicken pieces, added a few spoonfuls of water, dried dogwood, star anise, and bay leaves into the pot, and began to simmer.
Smelling the aroma of chicken in the air, He Qiudi swallowed uncomfortably. She was afraid that the novel she had traveled to was not a mindless revenge novel, but a novel about farm gourmet food.
This wild pheasant grows in nature, it smells really good~
