Chapter 18 She hasn’t seen her for a long time
Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu followed him for a few days and either broke the bamboo strips or made them look ugly.
Li Xiuju stopped them with a smile, "Making a chicken coop requires not only mastering the steps, but also testing the dexterity of the hands. If you are too strong or too weak, just like you, you will never be able to do it. Don't think it's easy. Mom has been growing up since she was a child. It takes me quite some years to make these things. How can you learn it overnight? You go out and walk around by yourself, don't stay at home all the time, I'll do all this."
Zhou Chenyu seemed to be on the bamboo pole, standing there motionless like a stake.
"I can't learn anyway." Zhou Baoyu squatted down beside the basin in frustration and watched several snails stretch out their tentacles and spit out sand.
A thought flashed through Li Xiuju's mind, "There are only a few snails in the basin, and you can't even get together for a meal. You two siblings have nothing to do, so you might as well go pick up snails."
Picking up snails?
Zhou Chenyu and Zhou Baoyu met their eyes and hit it off immediately, "Okay."
The few snails now are not enough for them to stuff between their teeth. They can pick up more and eat them all at once. It doesn’t cost anything anyway.
Li Xiuju brought a bamboo hat and a bamboo basket, "The fields opposite the door are for planting seedlings. Don't trample on other people's fields. I remember that across the river where I wash clothes, there are several abandoned fields. Go and take a look there. Take a look and see if there is any."
"Row."
The two of them went to the deserted field that Li Xiuju mentioned.Arata is a terraced field with seven levels in total from top to bottom.Except for the bottom two levels, which are planted with seedlings, the rest are all overgrown with weeds.
They stood on a high place, overlooking the entire village and paddy fields.
It's not raining heavily today. If you lower your head while wearing a hat, it will easily fall off and fall into the water.Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu took off their bamboo hats and put them aside, rolled up their trousers up to their knees, and stepped into the paddy fields with buckets in hand.
These paddy fields have been abandoned for a long time, and the mud at the bottom is hard. When you step on it, you don't have the feeling of being in a swamp a few days ago, as if you were walking on flat ground.
Zhou Chenyu finally stopped swaying and stood firm.
She bent down, holding the bamboo basket in her left hand, and reached into the water with her right hand to pick up snails. She picked one up and put it in one.
Considering the sustainable development of the snails in the future, Zhou Chenyu retained her last kindness as a hunter and only picked up the big ones, leaving the small ones behind.
Despite this, the field water is still clear. Some large and small snails are scattered on the surface of the soil, and some are half-buried in the mud. They are all clearly visible. It is easy to pick them up, but they cannot be seen with two eyes.
She and Baoyu were moving in the same direction. The water where their feet stepped was already turbid, and the turbid water spread like ink, forcing them to speed up their pace.Otherwise, if you muddy the water, you won’t be able to see anything and you’ll have to rely on touch.
The two people's bamboo baskets made a continuous sound of "dong dong dong". Unknowingly, when they reached the end of the field, the bamboo baskets became heavier. At first glance, they seemed to be half full.
"Is this enough for us to have a meal?" Zhou Baoyu put his weight on it, wishing he could immediately set up a pot and fry it to satisfy his appetite.
"How can one meal be enough? You've come here, so you must come back with a full meal."
Zhou Chenyu walked to another wasteland and saw dense snails again. He immediately thought of the code of wealth and turned back to Baoyu, "Hey, you said those dignitaries use eels as treasures. These snails are also something that grows in the fields. Can they also be sold at a good price?"
"I haven't heard any rumors about this." Zhou Baoyu curled his lips and shook his head, "Sister, these snails are used by the rough guys as food and drinks, and they can't be sold for much money."
Zhou Chenyu's self-confidence was thwarted, "Yes, with such a blatant wealth code, how can it be our turn?"
She picked up two snails, "But we have been working part-time to earn a few pennies. When we were young, we could make do, but when we get older, it won't be a long-term solution. We still have to find ways to make money."
As for what to do, Zhou Chenyu couldn't figure it out for a while. If it were so easy, she would have gotten rich long ago. "Sister, you don't have to worry about this. In autumn, when the animals in the deep mountains become fatter, I will go into the mountains and stay for a while. If I am lucky, I will hunt a wild boar, wild goat or wild deer. It can be sold for several hundred pennies. If you are unlucky, hunting some pheasants, hares, etc. will be enough for us to have a good year."
"Catch wild boar and wild deer?"
Although young people are motivated and should be encouraged, Zhou Chenyu looked at his thin body and silly temperament and expressed doubts, "Are you good at it?"
Ok?
How could he not?
Zhou Baoyu rolled up his cuffs, revealing a piece of lean meat, and patted it hard: "Sister, I can certainly catch pheasants and rabbits with my hands. If I really encounter a wild boar or deer, I... I will kill it with one punch. "
That's it?
Before you start going to the front line to kill the enemy, your morale will be reduced by half.
"It's almost as good as a pig pinching you to death." Zhou Chenyu's mouth twitched, "It's so hard, doesn't it hurt you?"
Zhou Baoyu's arms were burning, and he suddenly revealed his original shape, "Sister, it still hurts a little."
The two of them picked up another field, and when they were about to fill the bamboo baskets, a sudden heavy rain fell from the sky, causing them to roll up their bamboo hats and run home like drowned rats.
"Mom, we're back!"
When they went out, Li Xiuju had already seen dark clouds in the sky. She set up a pot to boil hot water early so that they could take a hot bath when they came back.
"You're all wet. Go and wash yourself. I'll do the rest."
Zhou Chenyu was obedient and brought a bucket of hot water to rinse.
Li Xiuju helped pour out the snails from the bamboo basket and filled a large basin. "There are so many. They can be stir-fried and eaten after being raised in clean water for three to five days."
Zhou Baoyu thought of the days when he couldn't even lift the pot, and felt extremely satisfied, "Mom, these are both snails and eels. I don't have to worry about not being able to eat them in the future."
"Yes, the days will always get better and better." Li Xiuju wiped her tears quietly, "Qingming Festival is coming soon. When the time comes, let's make something he likes to eat and go see him."
"okay."
Taking advantage of the rainy season, Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu went to the back mountain again and picked two large baskets of fresh bamboo shoots. After cleaning them, they brought the chicken coop and dustpan made by Li Xiuju with them, and they went to the street to go to the market.
The fresh bamboo shoots were sold out very quickly just like last time. After placing two small orders, a wealthy owner who specialized in restaurant business came and bought them all for a price of one hundred cents.
Baoyu personally carried the things to the kitchen of his restaurant and ran back with a smile: "Sister, that's great. I've earned dozens of yuan more this time than last time. Mom will be very happy to know this."
Zhou Chenyu looked at the people coming and going on the street, opened his eyes and glared at him, "Do you know that wealth is only leaked? Be careful of being robbed."
"Sister, the money is with you, you will never lose it."
Baoyu flattered her with a playful smile and did not take her words to heart.
