A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu carried the heavy rattan basket to the riverside, put it on the ground and took out the bamboo shoots inside. He cut a mark on it with a kitchen knife, and then easily peeled off the skin. Several large bamboo shoots were peeled clean in a few strokes.

When it comes to the onions and ginger, just remove the yellow leaves and excess dirt, then rinse them with running river water.

She soaked the raspberries in the wicker basket in water and rinsed them with the running water. She also threw in the washed bamboo shoots, onions and ginger.

Fish are the most difficult to clean, but Shen Wu has done this job before, so he found a large, relatively flat rock by the river.

He took the fish out of the straw fish basket and knocked it unconscious with the back of a knife.

In fact, she didn't need to shoot, the fish would not move at all. But she was afraid that the fish would suddenly react when she was handling it, so she decided to stun it first.

The fish bodies were smooth and some of them could not be held down. Several large fish that were barely knocked unconscious lay lifeless on the rocks.

Shen Wu suddenly realized that in modern times, when killing fish, one would use a kitchen towel to prevent slipping. But in ancient times, one was so excited about catching fish that he forgot to take a useful cloth.

It was not realistic to go back now, Shen Wu was a little worried. When he saw the huge leaves by the river, he had a plan in mind.

She had seen this kind of leaves before. When she was a child, there was a large patch of them growing on the hillside outside the field where her grandmother planted crops.

The leaves are as big as the palm of your hand, with fine hairs on the surface. The branches will grow fruits that look like red wool balls. The ripe fruits are deep red, and when you pick one and put it in your mouth, it has a slight sweet taste.

She couldn't remember the specific name, but it seemed to be called peach tree in the dialect.

Shen Wu picked several peach leaves, stacked them together, placed some on the stone as a base, and pressed some on the fish head to prevent slipping.

This method is really good, and it works much better than the previous one.

It was not the first time she used a kitchen knife to scrape fish scales, but it was the first time in ancient times.

It was a bit difficult at first, and I almost stroked my left hand which was holding the fish.

After many failures, I finally managed to shave one.

When it came to the second fish, she was much more skilled and scraped the scales clean in just a few strokes.

After scraping the fish scales, Shen Wu cut open the stomachs of the two fish, hooked the fish gills with his hands, and took the two fish and the knife to the waterside to clean them.

Her family had no habit of eating the contents of fish, so she dug out the fish bladders and other things and buried them in a depression by the river.

He rinsed the entire fish clean with river water, emptied its abdomen, and cleaned the black membrane inside. Only then did Shen Wu stop.

The cleaned fish could not be placed together with the food in the basket. Shen Wu placed the fish on the weeds growing by the river, and picked up a lot of the tallest grass to weave a rope.

She had been braiding more in the past few days and was getting more and more adept at it. In a few seconds, a twisted straw rope appeared in her hands.

He took the braided rope and passed it through the fish's gills, strung the two fish together, rinsed them with river water, and then prepared to get up.

Turning around, I saw the stone where the fish was killed, and after thinking for a while, I tied the rope that stabbed the fish to the basket and secured it.

He went to the stone and buried the scraped fish scales in the fish bubble, then used leaves to wrap clean water to rinse the stone, and then returned to the river to prepare to go home.

"Baby, why are you here?"

Li Youfu was originally preparing to go to work in the fields and came here to fetch some water to water the newly planted seedlings, but he unexpectedly saw Yuwazi.

Hearing the sound, Shen Wu just stood up holding the rattan basket he had fished out of the water.

"I was washing vegetables here and happened to meet my uncle here. I wanted to invite him to my house for dinner in the evening. You and aunt helped me a lot today. This dinner tonight is my way of thanking you."

Li Youfu wanted to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, Shen Wu spoke again.

"Uncle, you must come. If it weren't for you and aunt, I don't know how to harvest the wheat in the field."

Li Youfu couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, your aunt and I will go in the evening, we will definitely go."

After returning home, Aunt Li was not seen, and Gu Wei was squatting in the yard alone.

"Little sister, where are your aunt and brother?"

Gu Wei stopped and turned sideways and said: "My brother is asleep. Aunt said that there are a few herbs missing, so she went to the back mountain to pick them."

Shen Wu then saw what Gu Wei was doing. She was washing the baby's diapers. The baby was so small, she was not even that big, and was now washing the diapers with her small hands in front of the bucket.

"Excuse me, little sister. I'll go check on Gu Zhou and my brother. If my brother doesn't wake up after I finish bathing, you can play by yourself for a while."

"Okay," Gu Wei said, then turned around and continued to scrub the diaper carefully.

Shen Wu went to the kitchen and put the fish and various things away first. The bowl of raspberries in the main room was empty. She washed her hands, put a new bowl in it and put it back in its place. Then she turned around to look at the baby in the room.

The child was sleeping soundly, lying obediently in the circle she had made earlier. Shen Wu helped to fix the wall, then got up and left the house. She still had to go see Gu Zhou.

When Shen Wu saw Gu Wei washing diapers, he realized that he had not changed the child's diapers in the past few days. He even said that he had never seen anyone change diapers. He thought that it was probably Gu Zhou and Gu Wei who changed them.

Gu Zhou was in her room, with the door closed with only a tiny crack. Shen Wu pushed the door gently, trying to go in without making any noise.

But the door was too old and still made a noticeable creaking sound. Fortunately, Gu Zhou was sleeping so soundly that he was not disturbed.

Although the sun was still bright, it had already moved a lot to the west. Shen Wu estimated that it was around three o'clock. Afraid that the wind would pick up and Gu Zhou would feel cold, he still covered his stomach with a shirt.

I took the opportunity to check the temperature of my forehead and found it was almost the same as hers. I thought he would be fine after a good sleep, so I left with peace of mind.

When going out, Shen Wu tiptoed like a thief, not daring to pull the door hard. His movements looked exactly like a thief ready to strike.

After closing the door, Shen Wu told Gu Wei that he had put some more bubble gum in the bowl, and told her not to be greedy and eat too much so that she could save some space for fish in the evening. Then he went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The fish was prepared and she had also thought about how to cook it.

There was not much staple food at home. Looking at the flour left in the jar and the buns obviously left in the pot, Shen Wu planned to knead the dough to make pancakes and heat up some buns he had made himself.

Two fish, one steamed and one spicy, plus stir-fried bamboo shoots and some cold wild vegetables, and that's about it.

As for the soup, it’s better to make the dumpling soup thinner.

After deciding what to cook, Shen Wu began to knead the dough. In hot weather, he used warm water and added some salt to the dough, then kept it aside covered with a clean cloth for later use.

The fish with spicy taste needs to be processed first, and the scallion and ginger are sliced ​​and set aside.

Pick the Sichuan and Sichuan peppercorns, wash them, and roast them in a pan to dry.

The fire didn't start, so Shen Wu quickly found some straw and put it into the stove. He blew it slightly and sparks popped out from the tinder.

Light the straw and put some dry wood in it, then it will really light up.

It would take some time for the pot to heat up, so Shen Wu took this opportunity to put water on the other stove, then cut the bamboo shoots into slices and put them directly into the pot, waiting for them to boil.
