Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 192 Playing with Water
Taking advantage of the time when his young wife and her daughter were in the provincial capital, Wang Yuanchao stocked up a batch of supplies for his home.

First, Wang Yuanchao filled his own firewood room with firewood, and even the porch of the side room was filled with firewood.

These firewoods can keep your family warm and safe throughout the winter, and you no longer have to worry about not having enough firewood in the winter.

Secondly, Wang Yuanchao slaughtered a fat pig from the space two days ago, cut it into large pieces of meat, put it in a large water tank in the shade of the kitchen, and marinated it with salt.
Wang Yuanchao braised the pig's head and feet in brine and put them in a jar, preparing to take them to the provincial capital for his young wife and mother-in-law to eat.

After all, the rented house in the provincial capital is in a large compound. If you make something good at home, everyone in the compound will know about it, which is very inconvenient.

Braised pig's head and pig's feet can not only be eaten directly, but also cut into slices and steamed before eating, which is very convenient.

As for common game such as pheasants, wild ducks, and hares, Wang Yuanchao usually takes his family's dogs up the mountain and often brings some back. There are already a lot of them at home.

However, Yuan Chao did not take out the wild goat king. After all, only fresh mutton is delicious. Even if it is frozen, the pickled mutton does not have that taste.

After working hard at home for half a day, Wang Yuanchao took his fishing rod and prepared to go fishing in the Qingyu River near his home.
Looking at the rippling blue waves of the Qingyu River in front of him, and then looking up at the clear blue sky, the sun shining brightly, and the sunlight pouring down, Wang Yuanchao began to sweat slightly.

Wang Yuanchao suddenly reached into the Qingyu River and tested the water temperature, which was about 20 degrees.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Yuanchao took off all his clothes and dived into the lake. He did not emerge from the lake until a minute later.

Wang Yuanchao grew up in Hunan Province, one of the four famous furnaces in China. He played in the big rivers and lakes since he was a child.
Every summer, adults and children would swim in the rivers and lakes and they were quite good at swimming.

Just now, he swam in the water for a while, and Wang Yuanchao also caught a grass carp weighing about ten kilograms.

He dived and slithered in the water, and soon Wang Yuanchao caught some grass carp and crucian carp weighing three or four kilograms.

Playing in the water is addictive, and before you know it the sun has started to move westward.

Wang Yuanchao got up from Qingyu River, put on his clothes, strung the fish he caught in the water with a branch, and carried them to the gate.

Suddenly, Liu Qianqian from next door came out, looked at Wang Yuanchao holding the fishing rod in one hand and the fish in the other, her eyes sparkling, and said to Wang Yuanchao sweetly:
"Captain, is this the fish you dropped in the river just now?

Isn’t that amazing? "

"Um, I didn't fish, I caught the fish in the water.
There are many fish in the Qingyu River in front of our door.

You can get a fishing rod and go fishing in the river when you have nothing to do, or you can have some meat for yourself."

Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up even more. She looked at Wang Yuanchao charmingly with her beautiful phoenix eyes, smiled shyly, and said:
"Captain, can I trade some fish with you?"

Wang Yuanchao looked at the fish skewers in his hand, took out a grass carp weighing about four catties and a carp weighing about three catties, handed them to Liu Qianqian, and said:

"Forget about it. I have a good catch today. I will give you these two fish to eat.
If you want to eat fish in the future, you can find a fishing rod.
When I have time, I go fishing in the river.

You will never lack fish to eat again."

Liu Qianqian excitedly took the fish handed over by Wang Yuanchao.
To be honest, what Liu Qianqian valued was not the two fish, but Wang Yuanchao's attitude towards her. She finally became closer to him than before.

"Captain, thank you so much. You have helped me many times since you came to live here. I will ask Susu to come over and cook these two fish. I will treat you to dinner tonight. Thank you for your care. Please do me the honor of coming."

Wang Yuanchao looked at Liu Qianqian's beautiful face. Although she was only slightly less pretty than his young wife, she was also very beautiful. They both had their own merits.
In addition, during this period, Liu Qianqian's family was well-off and she basically did not go to work in the fields. The complexion she had gained from the spring plowing had long since recovered, and she had become a big beauty.

But Wang Yuanchao only had his own family in mind at this time, and had no interest in hunting for beauties, so he smiled apologetically, shook his head, and said:
"Liu Zhiqing, I'm so sorry. My wife is about to give birth and I have sent her to the provincial capital to wait for her delivery.

I'm going to the provincial capital later to deliver some food to her and my mother-in-law.

After my wife gives birth and I take them back, can we find a chance to have dinner together?"

Liu Qianqian looked at the handsome man in front of her who was as perfect as a sculpture.

Every outline seems to have been carefully carved, especially the confident temperament on the body, which shows impeccable charm.

Deep down, Liu Qianqian really thought that the man in front of her was so handsome that she was dazzling, handsome, and charming that she was willing to pay for him.
Unfortunately, this man doesn't understand romance, and it is very difficult to invite him out alone. I even called Wang Susu several times, but still failed to get him to come out.

This difficult character actually aroused rebellious emotions in Liu Qianqian. She originally only had a vague liking for him, but now Liu Qianqian really wanted to win this man over.

"Okay, Captain, since you have something to do, let's make an appointment next time we have the chance, okay?"

Wang Yuanchao nodded politely and said with a smile:

"Okay, Liu Zhiqing, we still have a long time to go in the Red Flag Brigade.
There will always be a chance in the future, Liu Zhiqing, you go ahead and do your work. I have to leave for the provincial capital now. If I don’t leave now, it will be too late when I get there.”

"Okay, Captain. Please be safe on the road."

After Wang Yuanchao and Liu Qianqian said goodbye, they returned home, put the jars of braised pork heads and pig feet, as well as the fish they had just caught, into a sack, tied it to the back seat of the bicycle, and
I rode my bike out and headed towards the provincial capital.

After traveling quickly all the way, when Wang Yuanchao arrived at the provincial capital to rent a house, Widow Du had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Wang Yuanchao to come back for dinner.

After Wang Yuanchao brought the sack into the kitchen, he killed the fish first, marinated it with salt, took out a piece of braised pig's head from the jar, cut it into slices, and took out a braised pig's trotter, chopped it into pieces, put it in a bowl, and served it on the table for the family to eat.

"Yuan Chao, were the fish you just brought here caught from your home pond?"

"Mom, no, I caught it in the Qingyu River this afternoon and brought it here specially for you two to nourish your bodies.
I have already salted the fish, especially the 10-pound grass carp, which will be perfect for making salted fish tomorrow."

"Okay, Yuan Chao, tomorrow I'll make this fish into salted fish and wait for you to come back in the evening to eat it."

"Well, mother, wife, come and try the braised pig's head and pig's feet I made this afternoon."

"Okay, yeah, it's delicious."

"My dear, the stewed food you made is so delicious."
