Chapter 32 Preparing to Contract the Mountain Land

"Let's eat fish today, okay?"

Shen Shufen still cares a lot about Xia Ning's opinion on what to eat.

Xia Ning stared at the grass carp and was overjoyed. "Then I want to eat pickled fish."

"Okay, then we'll use half of the fish to make you pickled fish later, and the remaining half to make braised fish tonight, how about that?"

"That's just awesome!" Xia Ning cheered with joy.

"It would be even better if we could add some roasted eggplant!" Xia Ning suggested.

"sure."

"Then go find a basin now. I have to take the bucket back to your Aunt Lan."

Hearing this, Xia Ning turned and walked towards the kitchen, took a basin and placed it on the ground, then took the bucket from Shen Shufen and poured the fish and the water in it into the basin.

The big grass carp seemed to know its fate. It swung its tail, splashing water on Xia Ning's face.

Xia Ning screamed and almost threw the bucket out. Then she remembered that it was not her own bucket, so she avoided throwing the bucket out.

Shen Shufen looked at her daughter's clumsy behavior and scolded her softly, "How can you be so reckless, kid? You might break someone's bucket soon."

"I didn't mean to do that. It's all the fish's fault. The water it stirred up hit my face, okay?" Charlene said aggrievedly with a pout.

"Alright, alright, it's no big deal. Look at you. I'll go return the bucket to the owner."

With that, Shen Shufen went out with the empty bucket and came back a few minutes later.

"I've already cooked the meal. Get some pickled vegetables out while I prepare the fish."

Shen Shufen saw Xia Ning squatting on the ground, staring at the grass carp and giving orders.

"Oh." Xia Ning walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Shen Shufen also walked into the kitchen holding the basin. She took out the chopping board, then swiftly grabbed the big fish and placed it on the chopping board.

The big fish twisted restlessly, as if resisting its impending fate.

But Shen Shufen did not give it this chance. She grabbed the kitchen knife and hit the fish head hard with the back of the knife several times, and the fish soon stopped moving.

It was obvious that it had fallen into a coma. Shen Shufen took the opportunity to scrape the scales off the fish, cut open its belly, clean out the internal organs, and then neatly removed the gills.

Xia Ning was a little shocked when she saw what her mother was doing. This action showed that her mother must have killed a lot of fish.

Her mother was obviously a gentle woman, but when it came to killing the fish, she was not at all gentle, but rather quick and efficient.

"Didn't I tell you to go get the pickled cabbage? What are you looking at?"

"Oh, I just want to admire my mother's heroic figure in killing fish!"

Shen Shufen glared at Xia Ning, then continued with her actions.

Xia Ning didn't say anything more and quickly took the plate to get the sauerkraut.

I have to say that Shen Shufen is really a very virtuous woman. Like most rural women, she can cook a variety of foods.

They also farm a variety of crops and vegetables.

Take pickling sauerkraut for example. Xia Ning doesn’t know how to make it, and probably few young people nowadays can do it either, right?

There shouldn't be many young people who know how to grow vegetables, right? She doesn't know how to do it anyway!

Who wouldn’t want to marry such a virtuous woman?

Not to mention women, even girls want to find a virtuous man because he is really considerate!

While daydreaming, Xia Ning took out the sauerkraut.

So she ran out of the yard, released her supernatural powers, quickly produced several large eggplants and picked them.

That’s great! Today I can not only eat pickled fish, but also delicious eggplant!

Xia Ning happily walked into the kitchen holding the eggplant, washed it and cut it into strips.

After doing all this, she went on to peel the garlic.

At this time, Shen Shufen had already marinated the fish. She went to the refrigerator to get some dried chilies, and asked Xia Ning to wash and peel the ginger.

Unfortunately, I didn’t buy tofu today, so the pickled fish didn’t seem to be that authentic (?°? ?° ?), but it’s acceptable, after all, Shen Shufen’s cooking skills are really good.

The sour and spicy pickled fish is really appetizing, and Xia Ning was very satisfied with the meal.

The taste of the eggplant was as amazing as ever, and it almost made Xia Ning cry!

After eating and drinking, Xia Ning remembered her previous plan to contract the mountain land.

The hills are very close to the mountains, with some sparse grass and shrubs growing on them.

Nothing was planted and it remained barren.

These mountains belong to the village, not to individuals. Therefore, if you want to contract the mountains, you have to discuss it with the village chief.

But if someone contracts the mountain land, the village chief should be happy, right? After all, it is just lying there, and if it is contracted out, he can earn some money to help the villagers with their household expenses.

The village chief is a good one. He has been working diligently for the welfare of the villagers over the years.

Before that, Xia Ning felt that she should talk to her mother.

After washing the dishes, Xia Ning sat next to Shen Shufen. At this time, she was watching short videos on her newly bought mobile phone!

I didn’t expect my mom to get the hang of it so quickly. She learns quite quickly!

"Mom, I have something to discuss with you!"

Xia Ning said solemnly, with a serious expression, as if this was some kind of national event.

Shen Shufen turned her head and looked at her, and was indeed frightened.

"What's the matter?" She turned off her phone and looked serious.

"I want to develop my career at home, so I want to contract the mountain land behind the village."

"What the hell? You have so much money that you can't afford to waste it, right?" Shen Shufen was a little angry. Normally, it was understandable that this little girl planted some flowers and plants, after all, it was just a small thing.

But contracting mountain land is no joke. If you are not careful, you will end up with bad results.

"Mom, listen to me first. I want to grow some fruits on that mountain and then sell them through short videos."

Xia Ning thought that the fruits she grew with her special ability would definitely be very popular and she would have no trouble selling them.

But I couldn't tell my mom about this, so I could only lie to her with other excuses.

"What if you don't grow the crops well? Wouldn't that be a waste of both money and energy? You'll end up with nothing."

"No, Mom. I have a senior who does scientific research. Some time ago, he told me that he developed a very powerful plant nutrient solution, so you don't have to worry about those trees not being able to survive."

"Really? Is the news reliable?" Shen Shufen's expression relaxed and gradually calmed down.

"Don't worry, he's my roommate's boyfriend, he's absolutely reliable!" Xia Ning looked so confident that Shen Shufen also believed him a little.

Seeing her mother like this, Xia Ning felt that there was a chance. "Besides, I have an advantage in renting the mountain land in the village, because I am originally from the village. The mountain land will just be left there and become barren anyway, so it is better to rent it to me."

"Okay, then mom will support you."
