Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 31
Father Qiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hadn't seen such a night sky for nearly two months. The bright starlight all over the sky was dazzling. "You followed in again."

The air in Taoyuan is exceptionally fresh. You can hear cicadas, frogs and running water in your ears. Everything seems so quiet. He turned his head to look at the more popular place. Qiao Mi said excitedly, "That is The fish pond I dug has a lot of fish fry in it. When we grow up, we will have fish to eat. The fish pond is next to the rice field, and the wheat is planted next to it, but it hasn’t germinated yet. The remaining land is It took only two days to turn it over, some of them have been planted to order, and the rest have not had time to plant yet."

Qiao Bin listened in a daze. The land that Qiao Miwei scratched was not small. If she did all this by herself, how much time and sweat would it take for her?At this moment, he felt both proud and extremely distressed. It was also at this moment that Father Qiao believed in the end of the world that his daughter said without reservation, and firmly believed in it!

Qiao Bin patted his daughter's head with admiration, and went forward to visit his daughter's secret base. The charm of Taoyuan is unstoppable. Although he only came in for a few minutes, he has already started to like it.

Qiao Miwei led Qiao's father to watch the fish pond and rice fields, and excitedly told Qiao's father about her working process. Qiao's father watched for a long time and had to lament his daughter's hard work. When he turned around, he discovered several He walked to the river to look at the familiar cabinets, then turned around and asked, "Are these all from our family?"

Qiao Mi smiled awkwardly, "Dad, you see, I'm poor and have nothing here, and there's no place to put those seeds, so I have to find something to put them in."

"Did you use these?" Father Qiao drew a big circle on the river bank with his fingers.

"Oh." Qiao Mi sighed slightly, "You will thank me for bringing these things here in a few days."

Father Qiao shook his head, "Unreasonable, tell me the truth now, how did you find this door?"

Qiao Miwei replied, "I told you, but you didn't listen carefully at the time. I was still in Fangcheng at that time, because I had nightmares every day, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to offer incense. I gave a talisman to make an offering in front of the Buddha, and I did so, and I found this door when I went home to sleep and dreamed that night, and when I woke up, the door really appeared."

Father Qiao frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't explain this bizarre thing. He asked about the characteristics of the door carefully, and whether he felt any discomfort. Qiao Miwei answered obediently, and told the truth. As a result, Father Qiao became even more confused, and couldn't figure out why such a good thing happened to his daughter. Father Qiao shook his head, and if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it, but in the end he said, "Anyway, don't tell anyone about this. You should be careful in the future, otherwise if someone finds out and arrests you for autopsy, I will treat it as if I don’t know about it in the future, and don’t mention it to me, including your mother, just pay attention to yourself, and tell me if you feel something is wrong.”

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "I see, Dad, so you won't come in anymore?"

Father Qiao shook his head and said angrily, "It's best that only you know about this kind of thing, and you are never allowed to mention it outside in the future?" The more he said it, the more severe his tone became.

Qiao Miwei quickly agreed, "Understood, I will definitely not say anything."

Father Qiao told Qiao Miwei for a long time before letting her take them out. Dahei had been following them silently. She thought that since Father Qiao knew about it, wouldn't it be inappropriate to use stealing words?

When Qiao Bin went back lightly, and just lay down to close his eyes to absorb the astonishment of the night, Qiao's mother beside him said, "Let's pretend we don't know about minor matters, and we are not allowed to talk about them in the future."

Qiao Bin was startled, he turned to look at Chen Xuehua, "Did you see it?"

Chen Xuehua nodded, "I fell asleep, not fainted. I don't know if you go out. I saw you disappear, and it took me a long time to come out, but you were not surprised, so I didn't go out." sounded.

Qiao Bin held back for a long time, and had to cough, "Aren't you wondering what's going on?"

Chen Xuehua was silent for a while, obviously she was still curious, but those things were nothing compared to her daughter's safety, she shook her head, "It's not necessary, as long as it's not harmful to her, I'm not curious."

Qiao Bin thought for a long time, but still couldn't hold back and muttered briefly to Chen Xuehua. Chen Xuehua closed his eyes and didn't respond at all. After Qiao Bin finished talking, he would only hear the two people panting. I closed my eyes even when I laughed, but I couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Ever since Qiao's father found out about Taoyuan, the next day he secretly mentioned to Qiao Miwei that Qiao's mother already knew about it. This time, Qiao Miwei had no scruples at all, and had more time to freely enter and leave Taoyuan. , The ground inside was also planted quickly, and a large piece was sorted out in a few days. She picked out the remaining seeds and planted some that hadn't been planted outside.

The fish in the fish pond are not small anymore. They play in the water one by one, not to mention how moist they are. Some of them are bigger. Three or five fish can be eaten for a meal. When I think of those delicacies about fish, Qiao Miwei couldn't help drooling, but unfortunately she fought with those small fish all afternoon and didn't catch any. She didn't know if all the fish were so difficult to deal with or the ones she raised were particularly powerful, anyway, in the end She has completely given up, and it seems that she has to make a net bag, otherwise it will be difficult to eat a fish.

Qiao Miwei didn't give up if he couldn't eat the big fish. He turned his eyes and stared at the loaches in the small pond next to him. We can't catch the big fish, but we can always catch the loaches. She hurried out of Taoyuan to the kitchen to get a basin , I met Chen Xuehua on the way, and she raised her voice and said, "Mom, don't cook for lunch, I'll catch some loach." After finishing speaking, she went back to the room, leaving Qiao's father and mother, who were looking at each other behind, at the kitchen door. .

Catching loach is also a technical job, because it is thin and slippery, and it will slip through your fingers if you are not careful, so you must be ruthless in catching them. Qiao Miwei declared that he had caught seven or eight of them After the failure, she finally worked out a tactic. This time, she not only caught the loach, but also caught the loach with the mud. No matter whether she caught it or not, she just threw it out, and the loach would crackle on the ground when it left the water. She jumped up and down, but she couldn't escape even if she jumped up again, this time it was easy to catch, half an hour later she came out with a bag of loach at the bottom of the basin in both hands.

When she came out, she was walking opposite Qiao's mother who was wiping the floor in the living room. Chen Xuehua was wiping the floor with her head down. The first thing she saw were those muddy feet, especially when she stepped on the freshly wiped floor!
Chen Xuehua was furious, and raised her head to reprimand Qiao Miwei, but before she could say anything, she burst out laughing. Is this still her daughter? She is covered in mud, she is like a mud monkey! "Oh, Wei Wei, I'm so ridiculous, are you catching fish or rolling in the mud?"

Qiao Miwei felt the tight itching on his face, held the basin in one hand, wiped his face with the back of the other hand, and left a muddy mark on his face, Chen Xuehua leaned the mop against the wall next to him, reached out to pick it up After passing the loach pot, I looked down and couldn't help shouting, "This loach looks wild, and it has high nutritional value if eaten like this."

Qiao Miwei leaned forward and asked, "How can you tell, this is not wild."

Chen Xuehua played with the loach with his fingers, "Look, these loaches are all yellow, which means they often burrow into the soil. If they are raised, they will turn green and green, and their beards will grow, and this." After pawing and pulling twice, the loach was unconvinced and directly came to wag its tail, and shook Chen Xuehua's face with muddy water, "Ouch." She quickly raised her hand to wipe it, but her mouth kept saying, "Did you see, wild ones are all It's wild and more aggressive." After saying that, she went to the back kitchen with a basin in her arms.

Qiao Miwei followed to the bathroom at the back, "Mom, save half of it for me."

Chen Xuehua replied without turning her head, "Understood, I wouldn't be able to eat in one meal."

After Qiao Miwei washed her body clean, Mother Qiao's loach had already been put into the pot. She fried it with a unique northern sauce. After frying, she added water to boil and added red pepper. It was a good fish sauce, but Joe Mi Wei doesn't like to eat this way, she likes to eat stir-fried ones, they are so delicious and can be eaten as snacks.

There was still half of the packed loach in the basin, and Qiao Miwei knew it was for her. Mother Qiao was impatient with raising the loach and waiting for it to slowly vomit out the food in its stomach. She usually cut open the loach's belly with scissors , Wash it clean, it is especially bloody, and it is also very powerful, because ordinary people can't deal with such a small and lively loach. Qiao Miwei envied this technique more than once, but unfortunately she has never been able to learn it.

Seeing that Qiao Miwei had finished washing, Chen Xuehua gave way out of the kitchen, "Do you still need some green vegetables?"

Qiao Mi shook his head slightly, "The little pickles from the past few days are all ready, two dishes are enough."

Chen Xuehua nodded after thinking about it, "There are indeed two that can be eaten, I'll take a look."

Qiao Mi started to prepare the ingredients in a hurry. Ginger was cut into thin shreds. This dish must have shredded ginger. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it, but you must use it to borrow flavor. Mince garlic, turn out two red hot peppers and cut them into small round pieces. After everything is ready, turn on the induction cooker. Qiao Miwei puts his hand on the pot. When he feels that the pot is already hot, he uses a colander to scoop out the loach. Get up and pour it into the pan to fry. When the water is gone, she quickly pours the oil into the pan and continues to fry. While frying, she uses a shovel to lightly touch the body of the loach to see if it is softened. When it smells burnt, turn off the fire and shovel out the loach and put it on a plate.

She took the pot and cleaned up all the scattered residues inside, and then put it on the induction cooker and turned it on. When the pot was hot, she poured oil into it, then put shredded ginger in it, followed by minced garlic, and finally added chili, Add some salt to burst out the aroma, and when the aroma is strong, she pours the loach into it with a plate, then adds cooking wine dark soy sauce, and then puts a little less salt, stir-fries, and sprinkles a small amount of salt and pepper on the loach when it feels that it is starting to dry out. Continue to stir-fry until it is dry, then turn off the heat, and dry-stir the loach out of the pot!

Qiao Mi sucked her saliva slightly and took out the loach. Over there, Mother Qiao’s stewed loach was also ready. The three of them sat around the dining table and looked at the two plates of loach. Father Qiao wondered, “How did you make two plates of loach.”

Chen Xuehua pointed at Qiao Miwei with chopsticks, "Your good daughter doesn't like to eat stewed ones."

Qiao Bin chuckled, and took the lead in picking up a dry-stir-fried one and put it into his mouth, "Oh, this taste is really good and delicious, my wife, you can try it."
