Chapter 9 Catching Fish
She took out a piece of bread from the space, broke it into small pieces and put it into the water. After waiting for a while, several small fish immediately rushed over and grabbed the small piece of bread.
She stood up in surprise, placed her backpack on the bottom of the river, and then placed several pieces of bread on it. When the fish came to eat the bread, she suddenly lifted the backpack and instantly caught three small fish, each about a foot long. She patted the three small fish on the head with joy, and immediately felt proud. She continued the second and third rounds, catching 15 fish of various sizes.
Just when she felt it was enough and turned to leave, a slowly wriggling green moss in the river caught her attention.
She picked it up and found that it was a moss-covered pointed snail, which she had eaten before.
However, there's another species that looks very similar, called Oncomelania snail. It's also very susceptible to water fluke parasites, becoming a carrier and subsequently causing human infection. This infection is still very difficult to handle today, let alone in ancient times, so careful identification is essential. Sixth, the square-grooved snail (commonly known as the sharp snail in my area, and edible). So, she caught the sharp snails, washing the moss off them and carefully examining them. By the time she'd collected half a basket, she was already sweating profusely.
She casually picked some green grass and covered the basket with it before walking into the village.
Because she attacked people with a knife last night and laughed strangely this morning, everyone thought she was crazy, so no one dared to step forward to stop her and talk to her. Looking up from a distance, all you could see was the green grass covering it!
When she passed by the village chief's house, she took out the largest grass carp and gave it to him as a token of gratitude. She returned and took out another one, giving it to Qiuhong, who was preparing to cook in the next yard.
"Sister-in-law! I'll add a dish for you tonight!"
When Shu Pozi and the others heard this, they hurried out. Seeing the grass carp in Yu Ruyue's hand, they began to push it away, "Ruyue! Be good and take the fish back quickly."
"Look at you, you're so skinny, hurry up and take it back to replenish your body."
Gao Lai Di, who had just been taught a lesson in another room, immediately became alert when he heard there was a fish. He opened the door and rushed forward to grab the fish.
"Mom! Sister Ruyue is sincerely grateful to us, so just accept the fish!"
"Look at the clothes in her yard. She could use up a whole lot of ours!"
"That thing is so expensive, we can't bear to use it!"
Mrs. Shu was so angry that she fell backwards. She glared at her second daughter-in-law and went to the main house to take out the things that had been prepared long ago.
Yu Ruyue took a look and saw five eggs, a large bowl of bran flour, and a small piece of meat on the small winnowing basket.
"Ruyue, we don't have anything good at home that can repay you for saving my life. Take these as a token of our appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
Gao Laidi was so jealous when he saw the eggs and meat that his mouth was watering. "She must have never eaten eggs and meat in her life. What's there to be dissatisfied with?"
The old woman raised her hand anxiously, wanting to hit him, but Yu Ruyue quickly stopped her, "Second sister-in-law is right! I really have never eaten eggs and meat in my life. These things are really too expensive."
"You'd better take it back!"
Yu Ruyue's words were not false. This place was extremely poor. Most people could only eat one meal a day at noon. They were all starving and could not even eat meat during festivals. She did not want this matter to cause internal strife in the Shu family.
When Shu Pozi and Qiuhong heard that she didn't want it, they thought that Gao Lai Di's words made her sad, and they bent their knees and were about to kneel down again. Only then did Yu Ruyue accept it with some embarrassment.
When she got home, she first went into the house to check on the unconscious Shen Chou. Seeing that he no longer had a fever, she fed him some spiritual spring water and then went out to cook.
She first found a basin, put the snails in it to spit out the sand, and then she prepared to cook the rest of the fish.
She put a fish on the chopping board, hit the fish's head hard with a knife, then cut open the belly and took out all the internal organs. Finally, she carefully scraped off the black film inside the fish's belly. Because there was no oil, she directly put the fish in water and stewed it. Smelling the fishy smell coming from it, she hurried to the garden at the back, picked some wild onions, tore them into pieces with her hands and put them into the pot, then gritted her teeth and added a whole bowl of spiritual spring water. The fragrance wafted out instantly.
"Sizzle!"
The sudden sound of slurping made Yu Ruyue look around, and her eyes finally settled on the little fat kid behind her.
"Sapling?"
"Why are you here?"
The young sapling wiped the saliva that had flowed to the corner of his mouth and tugged at his clothes a little embarrassedly. "I, I wanted to thank my aunt in person, but the food she made was so delicious that I couldn't help but drool."
Yu Ruyue knew that a fish stewed in plain water actually had no fragrance. The main credit went to the bowl of spiritual spring water. Not only did the water taste very sweet, it also seemed to have the function of removing impurities from the body. Even the cooking was so appetizing!
She smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Then you just wait here. When auntie is done, she'll bring you a bowl."
The sapling waved his hands repeatedly, "Mother and grandmother said that you are my savior, and I can't take your things."
"but……"
The young sapling was a little shy. He crossed his fingers and said with a blushing face, "I heard from Second Aunt, Aunt, you kissed me to save me. Daddy can only kiss me and my future wife, not even Mom and Grandma. Aunt, you kissed me, so you are my future wife."
"Don't worry, auntie!"
"The sapling will be responsible for you."
Xiao Shuimiao's childish words made Yu Ruyue laugh out loud. This little brat was so cute that she couldn't help but pinch his chubby little face.
Just as she was about to explain, a sneer suddenly came from the doorway, "Tsk! Yu Ruyue! You're becoming more and more indiscriminate, even seducing such a young child. It's really disgusting."
