Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

After seeing off the children, they returned to the yard.

Gu Qinghan came back carrying two baskets of fish, his back covered in mud.

"Gu Qinghan, your clothes from last time are still in Guozi's room. Go in and change your clothes. And have dinner here before going back."

Gu Qinghan is a very hard worker. Almost half of the fish in the field are caught by him. He would feel a little guilty if he didn't stay to do some work.

"Guozi, you know where the clothes are, right? Take them out for Brother Gu."

Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi were also covered in mud, mixed with sweat and smelling like mud. The two sisters put down the baskets behind them and went into their rooms to change their clothes.

They quickly changed into clean clothes and came out. Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi quickly went into the kitchen and started to light a fire and cook.

Xu Yuan picked up a big fish, processed it quickly, and planned to make braised fish.

Xiaoduo was very tactful and knew what was needed. He looked over and nodded, then ran to the vegetable garden happily, picked some fresh peppers, pulled out some wild onions, and some basil, and pulled some ginger out of the ground.

After washing them by the small pond, he said, "There are no green vegetables yet." He also picked up a handful of Chinese cabbage.

Only then did they leave the vegetable garden with a bountiful harvest.

"Xiaoduo is great. This is exactly what my sister needs. Please wash the cabbage cleanly and remember to pick out the weeds." Seeing that Xuanyi was very knowledgeable, Xuyuan did not hesitate to praise him.

Gu Qinghan was now processing some of the fish he had caught this morning by a waterfall not far from Xuyuan's home.

Guo Zi and Gu Qingming were also helping.

The three of them moved skillfully and quickly. Gu Qinghan dug a hole and buried the thrown out internal organs.

I didn’t know what to do with the lobsters, so I simply brushed their surface with a brush made of weeds and threw them into the backpack.

"Are you done? It's time to eat." Xu Yuan walked out of the yard and shouted towards the waterfall.

"It will be ready soon." Guozi replied to his elder sister in a loud voice.

The three of them quickly rinsed the things in their hands, cleaned up the place, and quickly returned to the yard.

The dining table has been carried to the pavilion by Xuyuan. The loquat seeds that Xuyuan had planted in the middle of the yard have already grown into seedlings, all thanks to Xiaojiu's spiritual herb juice.

The most mouth-watering dish on the table was the braised fish, with the unique aroma of chili peppers, wild onions and Jiuchengta, which whetted the appetites of several people.

Even Xuanyu and Gu Qingming finished two bowls of rice. It was such a treat.

There was a breeze blowing in the pavilion, so eating here was not stuffy at all. Several people ate with relish and soon cleared all the food on the table.

"Ah, the food cooked by Sister Xuyuan is much more delicious than that cooked by my mother. I was thinking of eating here every day." Gu Qingming held his full stomach and burped with satisfaction.

Gu Qing followed suit to clean up the dishes and quickly finished. He took his brother back to his home, and before leaving, he made a wish and asked them to take some fish back.

······

I woke up slowly, and the sunlight outside was still so dazzling.

Better go when it's not so sunny.

When I opened the door, I saw Xu Zhi had already hung up the freshly processed and marinated fish in the yard, one by one, which was quite spectacular.

The yard is filled with the smell of dried fish. I've smelled it so many times that I've become somewhat immune to it.

Xu Yuan walked forward and looked at how many fish were still in the wooden barrel that needed to be processed. He decided to clean them up now as these fish would not last long.

Leave a few unprocessed fish and ask Guozi to send a few to people he knows well later.

It was another big project. Xu Yuan transformed himself into a fish-killing expert. With the sound of water splashing under the waterfall, he cut open the fish's belly with a knife. He cleaned up the fish with nimble hands and feet and a numb expression.

Spicy fish, air-dried fish, boiled fish, grilled fish, cured fish...

Every time I cook a fish, I start thinking about how to cook it. I just can’t make salted fish because I don’t have enough coarse salt at home to waste.

After Xu Zhi hung up the fish in the bucket, Guozi and Xuanyue woke up, went out of the room and cleaned up.

"Let's go and clean up the fish."

Xu Zhi brought his two younger brothers to help.

Just in time.

"Guozi, Xiaoduo, you two are responsible for cleaning the pile of fish whose internal organs are taken out after I cut them open."

Xuyuan pointed at the fish piled on the side and explained to the two kids.

Two people cut the fish and two people clean it, so the process goes very quickly.

Looking at the few fish left...

Forget it, let’s just clean it up together.

By the way, ask Guozi to send some fish to the homes of acquaintances when he is free.

"Big sister, how many are you sending?"

"Send two each, pick the larger ones."

After a while, the remaining fish were cleaned up, and as usual, the processed internal organs were buried directly in the soil.

Although this place is well protected by the mutant vines planted by the wish plantation, wild beasts and small animals rarely appear here, but it is possible that they will be caught, so it is better to be cautious.

Alas, the backpacks and baskets I brought were all full, luckily I pushed the cart over.

Now everything has been moved to the cart, which is very convenient.

By the time I got home, my body was already full of fishy smell.

After resting for a while in the yard, he emptied the backpack full of fish into a special bucket, added some coarse salt, and stirred it evenly with his hands. Xu Zhi went to the vegetable garden to get some wild onions, mashed them, added ginger, and added some water, and poured it all into the bucket.

Make a wish and stir it evenly again, then cover it with a lid and marinate it.

The empty backpack appeared on the cart again and would be filled with fresh fish soon.

There was a sudden knock on the gate.

There were two figures, one big and one small, standing outside the door. They seemed to be carrying something, and there were two others following behind them.

The gate to the courtyard was not covered tightly and was only half open.

"Sister Xuyuan, we are here."

"Sister Xuyuan, we are here to help you."

The people who came were still the Gu Qinghan brothers, and this time they were joined by the Pan Dahai brothers.

While making a wish, he put away the things in his hands, washed his hands, and called the people standing outside the door to come in.

"Xiaozhi, pour a few glasses of water and bring them to the pavilion."

"Da Hai, Xiao He, how come you have time to come here? Have you finished your housework?"

"It's almost done. The villagers are helping each other. Grandpa asked me to come over to see if you need any help."

Hearing that it was Grandpa Pan who called him, Xu Yuan smiled knowingly, "That's really thoughtful."

"Come in and sit for a while. We'll go out when the sun isn't so hot."

The four of them gradually walked into the courtyard, and Gu Qingming took the Pan Dahai brothers to sit in the pavilion.

Gu Qinghan walked behind and entered the door carrying two long objects.

"Gu Qinghan, what are you carrying?" Xu Yuan looked up after washing his hands, but he didn't see clearly what was on the man's back.

"Sweet potato, my father found it by the river. It's edible and very sweet. I'll give it to you to try."

As he spoke, he put the things on his shoulders on the ground.

Make a wish and take a look...

Eyes shining.

At the same time, a reminder sounded in my mind. This time I had a big harvest, a full 500 points.
