The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

After Xu Yingtao walked away, Jiang suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Oh no! Someone wants to come to our house to buy food at noon. How could I have forgotten about this?"

She can make cold noodles and jelly, but she is absolutely afraid to try seasoning.

I have tried it before, and I followed the steps taught by my eldest daughter-in-law, but the taste of the final product was always not quite up to par.

But the eldest daughter-in-law must have important things to do in the village, and she couldn't call her back specifically to cook.

After much thought, Jiang could only pray that the mother and daughter would come later.

Xu Yingtao was busy until noon, and still refused the meals offered by other families, and walked briskly towards her home.

The food outside is not as delicious as the food at home.

When passing by the drying dam in the center of the village, Xu Yingtao saw a group of radish-headed people gathered together with their butts sticking out, and no one knew what they were doing.

She was not interested in the matter of the naughty kid and was about to continue walking when she suddenly heard a little boy shouting, "Beat him to death! Hit him to death with a rock! Pull out all his hair!"

Xu Yingtao's expression suddenly changed.

What are you doing?

How could he learn such cruel behavior at such a young age?

Even if a chicken was killed, the punishment would not be stoning.

She walked forward quickly, and when she saw clearly what the child said he wanted to smash to death, she gasped.

That's an eagle.

To be precise, it is the bird of prey among birds of prey, the golden eagle.

The reason why Xu Yingtao recognized this thing at a glance was thanks to her unscrupulous and aesthetically pleasing boss, who hung a huge golden eagle decorative painting in the office to brainwash employees, with the words "hens can only fly onto the wall, but eagles can fly into the blue sky" written on it.

Forget the past.

In short, this big bird in front of me has a dark brown head, long and pointed willow-leaf-shaped feathers from the back of its head to the back of its neck, dark reddish brown feather bases, golden tips, and dark brown feather shaft patterns. It is definitely a golden eagle.

Xu Yingtao felt a little surprised. Golden eagles are creatures that basically only live in frigid and subarctic zones, so how come they came to Nanxi Village?

Looking again, I saw an arrow stuck in its wing.

Considering how much suffering the golden eagle must have endured flying from the north to this place, Xu Yingtao couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the wounded golden eagle.

Seeing that there were many large and small stones scattered around the golden eagle, and the eagle itself had its eyes closed and it was hard to tell whether it was dead or alive, Xu Yingtao sighed and said to the little kids, "Children, can you give this bird to me?"

What she didn't know was that she didn't know where these children came from, but the children all knew her. Recently, all of them had been warned by their parents not to act naughty in front of her, otherwise the family would lose their means of making money and they would be in trouble!

As soon as the children heard that she wanted the golden eagle, they all ran away in all directions, and their laughter soon disappeared in the distance.

Xu Yingtao was also in a dilemma now.

Apart from the ostrich in the zoo, she had never seen a bird bigger than the eagle in her life.

It must be at least one meter long.

It is said that when a golden eagle spreads its wings, its length can reach more than two meters, plus its claws are bigger than her palms, which is terrifying just to think about.

But there was no one around, so I couldn't just give up.

Xu Yingtao plucked up her courage and muttered: "If you are dead, it's fine. If you are not dead, please don't scratch me, let alone peck me. I am also trying to save you."

Regardless of whether Brother Eagle understood or not, Xu Yingtao bent down, slowly stretched out her hands towards the golden eagle, and prepared to pick it up.

However, before she touched the golden eagle's feathers, its eyelids suddenly opened. As the light penetrated, its pupils gradually changed from a light amber to a deep brown-black, scaring Xu Yingtao so much that she stepped back repeatedly.

It is worthy of being the king of birds of prey!

Xu Yingtao didn't know how to describe that look. It contained a longing for the vast world, a keen alertness towards prey, and even contempt for all things.

Just when she was at a loss, the golden eagle closed its eyes again, and even its breathing became weaker.

Xu Yingtao was stunned. Could it be that that was just a flash of life?

She picked up a branch and poked the golden eagle's tail feathers gently, and poked it again. Seeing that it really didn't react, she breathed a sigh of relief and reached out her hand again.

This was the picture that Xue Qingqiu saw when he first met Xu Yingtao - a seemingly weak little girl, holding a huge golden eagle, grunted into the yard.

It was obviously unrelated, but she recalled her son who died on the battlefield and had once tamed a Saker Falcon.

However, the size of the Saker Falcon is much smaller than that of the Golden Eagle.

Xu Yingtao also saw Xue Qingqiu.

The latter just stood there, like a solitary orchid in a valley, completely out of touch with the messy farmyard around her.

"Who are you?" Xu Yingtao couldn't help but ask.

Just then, Jiang came out of the main hall and was about to introduce the woman in front of her to Xu Yingtao, when she saw the golden eagle in her arms and her face turned pale with fright.

"Cherry, what is this?" It can't be a pheasant after all.

Xu Yingtao gently placed the golden eagle on the ground, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's a golden eagle, not a species that we have here. I guess it flew here in a panic after being injured. I picked it up, and I don't know if it can survive."

Xue Qingqiu was quite surprised: "You also know the golden eagle?"

"Where is it? Where is the golden eagle?" Yan Yunlan ran out from the kitchen with an excited look on his face.

When she saw the golden eagle on the ground clearly, she exclaimed, "Wow, it really is!"

Xie Bai and Xie Li also ran out one after another.

Jiang then remembered the important matter and introduced Yingtao to Xu Yingtao: "Yingtao, this is your Aunt Xue. She just returned to Beixi Village from another place the day before yesterday. She tasted your cooking skills at your grandfather Yan's house and came to buy it yesterday. But you were not at home, so I asked her to come today, but I forgot to tell you."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Yingtao raised her signature professional smile: "Then please wait, Aunt Xue. I will go wash my hands and prepare for you. However, I haven't made any soy products today. How about eating jelly and cold noodles first?"

Jiang continued, "I have already prepared the cold noodles and jelly, and I am just waiting for you to come back and season them."

That would save you a lot of trouble.

Xu Yingtao asked Xue Qingqiu if he had any dietary restrictions, and asked the two siblings to keep an eye on the unconscious golden eagle. In case it woke up and tried to flutter around, they could just cover it with a large backpack, and then she rushed into the kitchen.

After a while, Xu Yingtao brought four bowls of seasoned cold noodles to the table and asked loudly, "Aunt Xue, is the food box on the table yours? Do you want me to fill it for you or do you want to fill it yourself?"

Xue Qingqiu had just washed his hands. He took the towel from his daughter and wiped the water off. He then walked into the main room and said, "I'll do it myself."

Xu Yingtao made room for him and said with a smile, "Two of the bowls have spicy and numbing flavors as you requested. The brightly colored ones are these."

Xue Qingqiu thanked him with a smile, paid the money, and then left leisurely with his daughter.

When Xu Yingtao saw the golden eagle again, she was surprised to find that the arrow on its wing had been removed, and the wound was wrapped with herbs and cloth.

Jiang said, "It was Madam Xue. She said she knew a little bit about medicine and that it was a life after all, so she saved it."

Xu Yingtao was shocked.

Not long after, she discovered something even more shocking: Xie Bai could actually recite the Thousand Character Classic fluently!

"Who taught him?"
