After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Qiao Chao and Zhen Yue set out with backpacks, one holding a machete and the other holding a hoe. The road they took into the mountain was not far from the big banyan tree. Of course, the people sitting near the big banyan tree saw the two of them. Someone said to Qian, "Qian, isn't that your eldest brother and sister-in-law? Where are they going?"

Qian looked carefully and it was true. She stood up and waved to Zhen Yue, "Sister-in-law, brother, where are you going?" she shouted while running over.

Zhen Yue heard the voice and turned to take a look, "Let's go to the mountains and see if there is anything to eat."

Qian was puzzled, "Aren't there many people at home..."

Zhen Yue coughed twice as a warning, "Ahem."

Qian immediately covered her mouth.

Zhen Yue looked at the people who were craning their necks to look at them, "We have a lot of firewood at home, but we're afraid we won't survive this cold winter if we don't have enough food. Let's save as much as possible before it snows."

Qian nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, yes. Then you should be careful."

"Ah."

Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao left one after another.

When Qian returned to the big banyan tree, the people immediately asked her, "Where are your brother and sister-in-law going?"

Qian: "Oh, it's hard to get through winter. My elder brother and his wife want to go into the mountains to see if they can find something to eat. Our family is in financial difficulty." She almost let herself be exposed just now, but she couldn't let anyone know that the Qiao family had a lot of food.

Every time my eldest brother goes out to sell vegetables, he also buys some grain, so there is actually quite a lot of grain at home, and this year they had a good harvest.

Granny Yan: "How is your family's money?"

Qian sighed, "It's still the same. I want to go back. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are not at home. I will go home to see if there is anything I need to do." She was afraid that if she said too much, the truth would be exposed. If she did, her sister-in-law might skin her alive. For some reason, her sister-in-law was becoming more and more majestic.

Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Qiao Chao wanted to go in a little further, "Why don't you wait for me outside? He wants to go to the big river in the mountains to see if there are any fish."

Zhen Yue: "No, I'll go with you. What if a wild boar suddenly appears when I'm alone?"

Qiao Chao thought about it and thought so. "Okay, let's go in. It might be a little far."

Zhen Yue: "Are you going to the river?"

Qiao Chao: “Yeah.”

"Then let's go." She also wanted to go and see.

Zhen Yue kept walking behind Qiao Chao. Qiao Chao thought she might not be able to hold on physically, but he didn't expect that every time he turned around to look at her, he found that she was following him closely. It was cold in the mountains, but both of them were sweating.

Because it is winter, the mountains are a bit withered and some trees have no leaves at all, being completely bare.

As she walked, Zhen Yue suddenly discovered something familiar sticking out of the mud beside her. The mud was still somewhat fresh, probably having been dug up by an unknown animal.

"Wait a minute." Zhen Yue suddenly stopped, walked over there, and started to use a hoe to dig up the soil next to it. The things inside were soon revealed. It was wild yam.

Qiao Chao: “What is this?”

Zhen Yue raised her head and glanced at him, "Is this yam? Don't you know it?"

Qiao Chao felt guilty for a moment, "Oh, I just didn't see it clearly for a moment. I know about yam." He had eaten yam in his previous life, but it was cooked in white. He had never eaten it when he was at the Qiao family, so he didn't know that yam looked like this.

Zhen Yue didn't say anything and concentrated on digging yams. There was probably a large nest of yams, and Zhen Yue found there were more when he dug to the side.

"Help me quickly? What are you standing there for?" Zhen Yue glared at Qiao Chao.

Qiao Chao was feeling guilty at first, so he immediately helped dig. After digging for a while, they dug out a dozen large yams, each of which was at least as long as an arm, and some were even broken by them.

At first, Qiao Chao accidentally broke the yam, "Is this... okay?"

Zhen Yue: "It's okay, it's just broken, you can still eat it. But you'd better not touch the broken part, the juice will make your hands itchy."

"oh oh."

After putting the yams into the backpack, the two continued on their journey.

After walking for about an hour, the two finally came to the big river in the mountains. It was the dry period, and the big river became a small river. However, even the small river was three meters wide. The original big river was more than ten meters wide. The riverbed was still there, with the river water in the middle, and there were many smooth stones on the riverbed.

Zhen Yue could see that there were dead fish on the riverbed, emitting a foul smell, and there were mosquitoes around.

The two put down the backpacks by the river, "Are you going to go into the river?" Zhen Yue frowned.

Qiao Chao shook his head, "No. I'll go closer to the river and take a look." As he said that, Qiao Chao found a wooden fork from the side and walked towards the river.

Zhen Yue ignored him and walked to the side, started cutting one side of the vine with a knife and then began weaving.

A quarter of an hour later, she finally got out a simple fishing net. It wasn't big, but it was enough.

Zhen Yue also went to the river with a backpack and a fishing net. Qiao Chao was using a fork to catch fish over there. It took him a while to finally catch a small fish.

Putting the fish aside, he saw Zhen Yue throwing something into the river. After throwing it, she didn't care much about it. Then she started to dig up the stones next to her, thinking that someone came to play.

Qiao Chao:...Forget it, just don’t make any trouble.

However, when Qiao Chao finally caught a bigger fish again, Zhen Yue over there finally picked up the fishing net. There were three fish in it, two big ones and one small one, and some river shrimps.

Zhen Yue threw them all into the backpack, then changed to another place and threw the fishing net down.

When Qiao Chao came over with two fish and was about to put them in the backpack, he saw what was in Zhen Yue's backpack. His pupils dilated and he asked in surprise, "What are these?"

Zhen Yue was still picking at the rocks. "It's obviously a fish? Are you blind?"

Qiao Chao took a deep breath and asked, "How did you catch so many fish in such a short time?"

Zhen Yue raised her head and frowned, "A lot? Only three."

Qiao Chao: ...It’s much better than him struggling for so long and only getting two. And what’s the other thing?

"What are these little bugs?" Qiao Chao pointed at the river shrimps.

Zhen Yue: "Is that a shrimp? A river shrimp."

Qiao Chao: “Can I eat it?”

Zhen Yue: "...You are talking nonsense. Why should I catch it if I can't eat it?"

Qiao Chao swallowed the words in his mouth and thought, forget it…it’s better not to ask more questions, so as to avoid being scolded again.

Then she saw Zhen Yue catch two crabs from under the stone... So that's it... He thought she came here to play.

Then he saw her pulling up the fishing net, which contained a few lively fish and some river shrimps...

He worked so hard to catch two fish, but she felt like she caught several fish without much effort...

"What is this?" Qiao Chao pointed at the fishing net.

Zhen Yue: "The fishing net I just wove."

Qiao Chao nodded. It turned out that catching fish required skills... When he was fighting in the war in his previous life, he only knew that his subordinates could use harpoons to catch fish. It turned out that they could also weave fishing nets to catch fish?

When they felt it was almost time, Zhen Yue saw that it was getting late and they would have to walk a long way back, so she hid the fishing net and said, "You can use it next time you come here. Just put it down and pull it up. Let's go back first."

"it is good."
