Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 20 Proposal
The dim morning light outlines an almost perfect silhouette, as if it is not an ordinary person.
People like this should soon have no intersection with them, right?
Qin Ying withdrew her gaze, gave the heated steamed bun to An An, and then used hot water to make fried noodles.
Zhou Yu drew up a bucket of water and was very surprised. The water was so clear that his face was reflected clearly.
Normally, a newly dug well should not produce clear water so quickly.
But when I think about it, the well and pond dug in Tongshu Village were said to have become clear very quickly.
Perhaps it is the same overly superior water vein?
Xu Xia quickly came to his side, looked over, and was also surprised and delighted, "Master, this is great!"
The rest of the people also gathered around and first made sure the water was non-toxic. Then Xu Xia took a scoop and found it clear and sweet.
Then I took it and gave it to Aunt Zhong.
Aunt Zhong used the water they brought with them to cook. The amount was not much, so they had to use it carefully.
Now that she had so much clean water, she was so happy that she quickly reminded everyone, "Don't drink raw water, it will easily upset your stomach!
"The boiling water here will be ready to drink soon!"
There is no shortage of firewood in the mountains, so boiling water is naturally quick. Pour it into a clay pot and set it aside to cool while continuing to cook.
Aunt Zhong also carried a small can of lard with her, which she would rub on the bottom of the pot to add fragrance.
Zhao Hu couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The people around him looked at him and laughed kindly.
Zhao Hu wiped his mouth and said embarrassedly, "It's been so long since I've tasted meat. Life was tough for my family. Before the famine, we could barely eat meat once a month."
Everyone was a little unable to laugh.
Zhou Yu sighed softly. His people had a hard time making a living, which was because he, as a fatherly official, was incompetent.
Xu Xia said to him again, "My lord, although we have water here, it is far away from the villages and towns. It is not so bad now. There are almost no wild animals in the mountains.
“If the famine is over, I’m afraid it will still be abandoned.”
"The situation is urgent, let's focus on the present," Zhou Yu said in a sullen tone. "This place is not like the Tongshutun well area, where the terrain is flat and we can dig a pond."
"But we can dig a canal." Qin Ying had already fed An An. The little kid was crying out for help and wanted to find Zhou Yu. She had no choice but to carry the child over and continued the conversation, "There's a slope here."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. They also wanted to come, but they felt that it was not very feasible.
Qin Ying was a little nervous, pursed her lips, and said, "Of course, it's just my humble opinion, it may not be feasible."
"We can give it a try," Zhou Yu nodded with a smile, "but we don't know much about the geology here, and we don't know what difficulties we will encounter when digging the canal."
An An opened his arms and gave him a bright smile, then just take good care of me, I will make digging canals a simple task for you!
Seeing that Qin Ying could hardly hold the squirming baby, Zhou Yu quickly reached out and picked her up.
Zhao Hu was a step slower and couldn't help pouting, thinking that his niece was a little ignorant of distance. She didn't even ask him, her real uncle, for a hug, but instead relied on an outsider!
What's the matter? It's great that you're good-looking!
Zhou Yu turned around and ordered people to survey the terrain.
Qin Ying pulled Zhao Hu and said, "You should go with them and take a look. When it comes to walking on mountain roads, they can't compare to you."
Zhao Hu agreed and ran over to help.
Seeing that An An and Zhou Yu were getting along well, Qin Ying went back to help Aunt Zhong cook with peace of mind.
Soon, the two of them worked together to make two pots of dishes and a pot of mixed grain rice.
Although Zhao Hu smelled the meat, he could only see a little bit of oil floating on the big pot of food.
Aunt Zhong distributed the food equally, giving everyone a bowl of mixed grain rice with side dishes. No matter how much they ate or what their status was, they all got the same amount. After the distribution was completed, not a single dish or rice was left.
After dinner, An An had fallen asleep, so he was still handed over to Qin Ying; Zhou Yu continued to lead people to explore the canal digging route.
Qin Ying couldn't sit still and wanted to go look for some mountain products.
Aunt Zhong was about to follow, but Qin Ying hurriedly said, "Don't go. We are used to running in the mountains, and there are no ferocious beasts now, so we are not afraid of any danger.
"Besides, I won't go far. If I'm unlucky and really run into some bad guys, not to mention that I have weapons to protect myself, even if I just call out, you guys will be able to come in time.
"Besides, we have so many things here. If we don't leave someone to guard them, what if someone steals them?"
Aunt Zhong also wanted her to keep An An.
Qin Ying refused again: "I used to carry An An up and down the mountain like this, I'm used to it."
Aunt Zhong couldn't insist any longer, after all, they were mother and daughter.
Qin Ying carried An An on her back and walked more than three miles up the mountain. She found some dried wood ear mushrooms under a piece of wood. After gathering them together and weighing them, she found they weighed more than three pounds.
Qin Ying happily put them into the basket she carried with her. After thinking for a while, she knocked down the piece of wood where the wood ear mushrooms were growing. Now that there was water, she would go back and pour more water on the wood. Who knows, wood ear mushrooms might grow on it.
After leaving here, we walked up for half an hour and found a piece of dried mushrooms, about five pounds.
She collected the mushrooms, put some weeds in the cage, and made a simple weaving to get a lot of soil for growing mushrooms.
He stood up and marked the tree again. He called Hu Zi over later and asked him to dig up more soil. If they took good care of it, it would be great if mushrooms could grow in the soil.
An An quietly nudged her on the back. Hehe, with her around, wouldn't it be easy for mom to prepare the correct mushroom culture medium?
If it weren't for her, would we still be able to find dried wood ear mushrooms and dried mushrooms after three years of drought? They would have turned to soil long ago!
Qin Ying squeezed her little hand and said gently, "An An, thank you for always bringing good luck to me..."
Feeling at ease and having gained 0.01 energy, An An laughed out loud, "Hehe, why are you being polite? Isn't this mutually beneficial?"
Qin Ying had been out for quite some time, and fearing that others might worry, she returned along the same route, carefully marking the trees along the way.
More than a mile away from the campsite, we suddenly discovered a field of hickory nuts, with many scattered on and under the trees.
She didn't go over, but hurried back to the campsite, ready to call others to help collect the food. It would be a good thing to have more food.
Zhou Yu was talking to Aunt Zhong with a serious expression on his face, and Aunt Zhong lowered her head in shame.
Zhao Hu ran towards her and took the basket from her shoulder. The worry on his face disappeared and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Sister! You are back! Where have you been? What took you so long? We have been looking for you everywhere!"
Qin Ying patted his shoulder and explained simply: "I just went to look for some mountain products."
Then he walked quickly towards Zhou Yu and Aunt Zhong.
When Zhou Yu saw her, he looked her up and down, and only then did his expression relax when he was sure that she was safe.
Qin Ying hurriedly bowed to Zhou Yu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
