Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Yichi's iron pot stewed rabbit is generous with the ingredients. The rabbit is dry-fried, the meat is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, with a little spicy stimulation and the rich and mellow aroma of soybean paste. The moment the lid of the pot is opened, steam rises, and the rustic aroma of cornmeal and the meaty fragrance are intertwined and fill your face.

"Wow, it smells so good." Xue Li was shocked. This brother's cooking skills are on par with those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants. He is even better than Wu Aiqing. No wonder Jiang Yu, an invisible foodie, treats him differently.

She looked Yi Chi up and down and had to admit that Yi Chi was indeed a good potential stock.

It is not clear what his academic and ability are, but judging from his appearance, he is indeed outstanding, and he has impressive cooking skills. Even if his family conditions are not so good, with his skills, it will not be difficult for him to make a living in the future when the market opens up.

Xue Li was a time traveler and had great confidence in the future development of society, so he recognized Yi Chi as a potential stock. If it were anyone else in the village, they would only think that Yi Chi was a member of the "five black categories" in this life and would never achieve anything.

Jiang Yu didn't even raise his head, he was eating meat and biting the pancake seriously, so he didn't see the strange expression on the little sister's face changing every now and then, but the three men next to him saw it.

Yi Chi didn't know what she was thinking when she looked at him. Anyway, he believed that he had no ill will towards Jiang Yu, so he was not afraid of their stares and just focused on eating.

Fu Biao was puzzled. He didn't understand what Xue Li thought of Yi Chi and why he had to watch for so long?

Wu Aiqing's eyes moved back and forth between the two girls and Yi Chi. He could probably guess why Xue Li behaved like this, and was a little surprised at the relationship between Jiang Yu and Yi Chi. But after taking a few more glances, he felt that greed and lust were human nature and he accepted it well.

When Chen Jinghan walked to the edge of the reservoir, he faintly smelled a fragrance. He knew that Yi Chi lived there. Recently, Jiang Yu often came to repair his house. He guessed that perhaps the small group was there to gain weight, so he hurried over.

Jiang Yu looked up at the figure walking quickly in the distance, then looked at Xue Li who was not paying attention even when eating, "I came to see you." She said to Xue Li.

"?" Xue Li raised his eyebrows in confusion, ate a piece of rabbit meat in a few bites, straightened up and looked around.

Not long after, Chen Jinghan walked around the willow tree and appeared in front of the group. "Well, you guys, you left me a feast until my stomach cramped, but you guys are hiding in the mountains to enjoy the delicious food? You have no conscience!"

Xue Li licked his lips covered with soup and pointed at the empty seat next to him with his chin, "Is the lunch dish not good?"

"How would I know whether it's good or not! I get a heart attack when I see other people's expressions!" Chen Jinghan glared at the two men, disdaining them for being disloyal.

Fu Biao glared back unconvinced, "With that group of people, do you think I can eat?"

"Didn't you use to be so close to them and have a very good relationship with them?" Chen Jinghan complained that he changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

"How can they be the same? How would I know that every one of them is an ungrateful wretch!" Fu Biao felt anxious just thinking about it. He felt that he had been blinded by the peaceful life in the countryside. He had seen how complicated human nature was. It was not like he had never seen it before. It had only been a short time since he became brothers with these rotten guys. Maybe he had left his brains in City B and forgot to bring it with him.

"Not all of us are involved. After all, we are not involved..." Chen Jinghan stopped talking halfway and subconsciously looked at Yi Chi opposite him.

Yi Chi ate his meal without changing his expression. When he saw him looking at him, he seemed to suddenly realize something and asked, "Do you want to eat something? There are clean dishes and chopsticks."

"No, no, thank you. I need to drink some hawthorn water to aid digestion. This lunch made me feel uncomfortable all over." Chen Jinghan waved his hands. Although he didn't eat much at noon, he really felt a lump in his stomach and was very uncomfortable.

Yi Chi still stood up and poured him a bowl of water, "Then drink some water first, I don't have any hawthorn here..."

"It's okay, I have some." Wu Aiqing probably thought that his companions liked to go to the mountains for a snack every once in a while, so they were used to bringing some herbs and seasonings, including some dried hawthorn, which he just took out and made tea for Chen Jinghan to drink.

Chen Jinghan quickly picked up the bowl and handed it over to take the hawthorns given by Wu Aiqing. The reddish-brown chopped hawthorns were put into the water and slowly expanded, and the color of the water gradually turned yellow.

The scene was quiet for a while. Chen Jinghan looked at Jiang Yu who had suddenly had an attack today and asked hesitantly, "What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Yu had already thought about this before she came back. She was not afraid of falling out with the villagers. Based on her observations during this period, this was an era where one could use either the law or fists. In this case, as long as she was in a favorable position, no one would be able to openly make things difficult for her.

As for being isolated, excluded and restricted, Jiang Yu could only say that if the villagers were not afraid of death, they could give it a try.

But things will turn around if you take your time. "It's almost winter, and I'm going to give up after burning these tiles. As for the reasons, they are all ready. I have to prepare supplies for the winter, so I'll go up the mountain to collect firewood... As for the follow-up, after a long time, the villagers will definitely not want outsiders to monopolize their credit for a long time and point fingers at them, so they will naturally be happy to take over those brick kilns." As for the brick kilns having problems in the future, what can she do? After all, she only knows a little bit about it.

Xue Li nodded, "That's it. Don't act rashly like you did today. After all, this is someone else's territory, and the geographical location is special. If someone has bad intentions, I'm really afraid that we will be helpless."

What she said made sense, but looking at her innocent eyes, one could tell that she was somewhat naive at heart.

In fact, most of her theories came from her parents in her previous life. The couple worked hard all their lives to accumulate a considerable fortune, so they must be knowledgeable. They instilled some principles in her from time to time, and how much she could remember depended entirely on the individual.

Chen Jinghan had never seen her like this before. She looked different from her usual childish self. She looked like an adult, which was a bit refreshing. However, she still had to persuade Jiang Yu that this girl was too reckless. Since they had the chance to get together and become friends, they couldn't just watch her mess around and bring disaster upon themselves.

"Jiang Yu, you must be on guard against others. I know you are strong and capable, but people can't be alert all the time. There always comes a time to rest. So let's just keep our distance from each other." He also gave another piece of advice.

Jiang Yu looked at her classmates and smiled back, "Don't worry, I know what to do." She still likes living in this peaceful world. Although there is still dirt, there are more beautiful things. She will not seek death, but she is still very grateful for her friends' concern, which makes her love this world a little more.
