Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.
Chapter 71 Helping Aunt Free Her Hands
Old Liu's wife raised her head when she heard the voice, and her face was immediately filled with smiles: "Oh, Xiao Chu is back, come into the house and have a rest, and drink some water."
Chu Tian didn't move. He walked to Old Liu's wife and handed her the fish and eggs. "Aunt, I came across a small fish pond while hunting today and caught two fish. Let's have fish tonight. Oh, and there's also a pheasant. What do you think is the best way to cook it?"
Old Liu's wife looked at the fish and pheasant handed over by Chu Tian, her eyes widened like copper bells, and her mouth opened for a long time, but she didn't utter a word.
Chu Tian raised his hand and waved it in front of Old Liu's wife's eyes.
Old Liu's wife came back to her senses and stuttered, "Xiao Chu, you... caught prey again?
"Correct."
Old Liu's wife took the fish and eggs and was so excited that she was incoherent. "Oh my God! Xiao Chu, you are so capable!"
"This mountain is so dangerous. Many people from the village have gone into the mountain to hunt before, but the number of people who came back alive can be counted on one's ten fingers! The lucky ones only managed to bring back rabbits or pheasants, while the unlucky ones even lost their lives! You are so good, you can always hit the prey, you are amazing!"
Chu Tian was a little embarrassed by the praise from Old Liu's wife. He scratched his head and said modestly: "Aunt, you are too kind. I am just a little luckier."
"Hey, kid, why are you still being so modest? This can't be explained by good luck. You are just talented!"
As Old Liu's wife spoke, her face was full of smiles, as if Chu Tian was a hero who brought glory to the country.
Then she happily sent the pheasant and fish to the kitchen.
Then she came out again and asked, "Xiao Chu, can you wait a moment? I'll wash these two pieces of clothes first and then I'll cook."
"No hurry, take your time washing, I'll go back to the house and rest for a while."
"Okay, take a rest first."
After saying that, Chu Tian returned to his room.
Old Liu's wife looked at Chu Tian's back and smiled. This child is really sensible!
After Chu Tian returned to the room, he looked through the window and saw his aunt hitting something vigorously with a mallet.
I don’t know how many times I’ve washed it, but the clothes are still dirty.
These days, everyone is poor and can’t afford to buy laundry detergent, so they use soap nuts to wash clothes.
Although it can be used, its cleaning ability is really not satisfactory.
Looking at his aunt's hands that had turned white from being soaked in water, Chu Tian suddenly had an idea: How about exchanging a few bags of laundry detergent from the mall and giving them to his aunt?
Chu Tian did it right away. He opened the mall, typed laundry detergent in the search box, and clicked redeem.
This thing is very cheap in the mall, and Chu Tian exchanged six bags at once.
Then he took the laundry detergent and left the space. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard Lao Liu's wife mumbling to herself: "I've been washing for a long time, why can't I wash it clean..."
Chu Tian walked over and said with a smile: "Auntie, I have a good thing that I guarantee will make it easy for you to wash your clothes."
Old Liu's wife looked up and looked at him curiously: "What good stuff?"
Chu Tian took out a few bags of washing powder from behind him like a magic trick and shook them in front of Lao Liu's wife: "Dangdangdangdang! That's it, washing powder!"
Old Liu's wife was stunned. She had never seen such a thing in her life. She asked in confusion, "Washing...powder? What is this?"
Chu Tian didn't explain much. He squatted down, grabbed the clothes in Lao Liu's wife's basin that had been washed for a long time but still not clean, and scooped a spoonful of detergent and sprinkled it on it.
"Auntie, just watch!"
As Chu Tian spoke, he began to rub his hands on his clothes.
Something magical happened!
In just a moment, densely packed small bubbles appeared on the clothes.
"This..." Old Liu's wife's eyes widened. This is much better than soap beans!
Chu Tian rinsed the clothes in the water for a few times, and when he took them out, the clothes were clean!
Old Liu's wife took the clothes and looked at them over and over again, her face full of surprise and disbelief, "Oh my God! This is really a good thing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian stuffed several bags of laundry detergent into Lao Liu's wife's arms and said, "Take these and use them first. When you're done, I'll get you more."
Old Liu's wife rubbed her hands and said to Chu Tian a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Chu, this thing is too valuable. I don't know how to thank you..."
"Auntie, why are you being so polite to me? This thing is not worth much. My friend brought it back from the coastal area. He said it's called... washing powder. He said every household over there uses it to wash clothes. It's very convenient. He brought me a big box of it. I can't use it all by myself."
When Old Liu's wife heard that it was something from the coastal area, she felt even more embarrassed, "How can that be? This thing sounds so expensive, how can I take it from you for free..."
"Auntie, please don't be polite to me. You see, I eat and live at your place every day, and you don't ask me for money. These bags of laundry detergent are just a token of my appreciation."
"That works!"
Old Liu's wife took the washing powder and smiled, "Xiao Chu, you are such a good child. Wait, I will make you something delicious!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a familiar sound of footsteps at the gate, mixed with a few heavy coughs.
"Mother of my child, I'm back!" Old Liu walked into the yard carrying a hoe.
The coarse cloth jacket he was wearing was covered in dirt and his face was tanned.
Chu Tian felt mixed emotions when he saw Old Liu's dusty appearance.
Nowadays, city dwellers who eat commercial grain have an income of at least ten yuan a month.
Farmers like Lao Liu who work in the countryside don't make much money throughout the year.
Chu Tian sighed silently in his heart, "When will this day end..."
"Lao Liu, come and see what this is!"
"What are you yelling about? Is there a thief in the house?" Old Liu replied in a muffled voice.
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Old Liu's wife scolded him with a smile, and pulled Old Liu to Chu Tian, pointing at the fish and pheasant in the kitchen, "Look, this is what Xiao Chu got today! Two big fish and a pheasant! This skill is really amazing!"
Old Liu looked at the lively fish in the net and the pheasant on the ground, and opened his mouth in surprise for a long time, "This... these were all caught by Xiao Chu?"
Chu Tian smiled and said modestly: "Uncle Liu, I'm lucky today and met you."
"Good boy, you're great!" Old Liu patted Chu Tian's shoulder vigorously, his face full of satisfaction, "It's not easy to get these things these days!"
What Old Liu said was right. Supplies were scarce these days. Not to mention meat, even wild vegetables had to be dug up by people.
The things Chu Tian brought were simply a sumptuous meal for their family.
"Alright, alright, stop talking, hurry up and kill the fish. We're having braised fish today!"
As Lao Liu's wife spoke, she swiftly took out a kitchen knife and handed it to Lao Liu.
Old Liu took the knife and started processing the fish in the yard.
Chu Tian used another knife to start processing the pheasant.
