After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 20 Oh! She Does Hunt!
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Especially Zhou Yimo. Before he saw the fish, he was thinking that if it didn't taste good, he would get some dried vegetables from the pickled vegetable jar to go with the meal.
Later, when I smelled the fragrance of fish, I forgot about it.
At this moment, he politely picked up a piece of braised fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to savor it carefully.
He didn't quite understand. They were both cooking fish, so why didn't the fish cooked by his wife have any fishy smell?
And the rice crust was burnt by itself, but just add two scoops of water and boil it, and it becomes delicious rice crust porridge.
It smells a bit burnt, and there are some burnt black particles on it, but it tastes surprisingly different.
Zhou's mother was also very happy. She liked drinking the fish soup very much. Just adding a little bit of pickles to the fish soup increased people's appetite.
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang happily ate the fish meat that Li Qingqing had removed the bones from. It was the first time for them to eat dry rice since they were so young that they had no time to talk.
Li Qingqing drank the fish soup while keeping an eye on Xier. The fish had bones in it, so Xier couldn't eat too fast.
After dinner, Zhou Yimo took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes.
He also gave the remaining three taels of silver and his purse to Li Qingqing and asked her to be the housekeeper.
Li Qingqing naturally had no objection and took the silver. She wanted to plan how to make money next.
There are many people in my family now, and all the silver we have added up to is barely five taels, and there are so many places where silver is needed.
It's getting dark.
Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang and Xier wanted to go to bed early, so Li Qingqing had no choice but to arrange for the three of them to go to bed first.
And she herself felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, it was a bit crowded for Li Qingqing, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang to sleep in one bed, and now with Xier added, they couldn't sleep at all.
Seeing that Li Qingqing was in a difficult situation, Zhou Yimo gave up his room and temporarily set up a bed in the study.
In this way, Xier and Xiaoshuang sleep in one room, and Li Qingqing and Dashuang sleep in another.
A good night's sleep.
As soon as the day broke, Li Qingqing got up early.
She wanted to go to the mountains to see if any small animals had fallen into the traps she set last time.
Last night, when Zhou Yimo was cooking, he immediately removed half of the rice from the pottery pot. If the remaining rice was used to make porridge, it would only be enough for the family for two days.
Li Qingqing planned to get some prey as food and chop some firewood at the same time.
When she passed by the study door, she unexpectedly found that Zhou Yimo had gotten up earlier than her, and was now leaning over the desk, writing attentively.
Li Qingqing didn't disturb him. She found an axe from home and went straight to the back mountain.
The back mountain of Lihua Village is closely connected to the back mountain of Zhangjia Village.
You need to climb up to the flat land on the mountainside, pass through a large area of low shrubs, and then walk further in to reach the deep mountains. However, the deeper you go into the mountains, the less people dare to go in.
Li Qingqing set the trap near the deep mountains. Before, she was not very capable and had never dared to hunt deep into the mountains.
She first checked the traps she had set. She hadn't been back for several days, and there were actually several small animals like rabbits trapped in the traps.
There was actually a wild roe deer in one of the traps. It must have been trapped there for quite some time. When Li Qingqing saw it, it was digging the soil, trying to get out.
It rained several times in a row in the past few days, and the soil in the mountains was a bit damp, which almost destroyed the trap.
Seeing that it was about to escape successfully, Li Qingqing quickly leaped over and hit it on the head with one palm, killing it.
After throwing all the prey in the trap into the space, Li Qingqing rearranged the trap and did not continue hunting.
She used a hatchet to start chopping the dead branches of the low shrubs and threw the chopped branches directly into the space.
With the hatchet in hand and using a little internal force, he chopped a lot in a short time.
Li Qingqing estimated that the firewood was enough for two days, so she decided to go home first.
We currently have two meals a day at home, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I can make lunch when I get home.
Just as I was about to call it a day, I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of some mushrooms growing under a tree. When I took a closer look, I found that they were fir mushrooms.
I guess it’s because it rained a few times before, and when I looked closely, there were actually a lot of them around.
Li Qingqing was very happy. She actually forgot that in addition to wild animals and fruits, there were other food ingredients in the mountains!
She squatted down and began to pick fir mushrooms. As she picked, she was already thinking about her plans for lunch.
Well, I'll hunt a pheasant later. Stewed pheasant with fir mushrooms, a perfect match!
Since no one comes up this mountain, there are so many fir mushrooms that you can pick them up if you look carefully.
Li Qingqing enjoyed picking up the items very much. It took her almost two hours to collect them. The items piled up in the space and it looked like they weighed more than 30 kilograms.
When Li Qingqing returned home, she was already holding a pheasant and a hare in her hands.
He pulled off a few more large leaves, took out a pine mushroom weighing about a pound from the space, wrapped it up, and held it in his arms.
She didn't put these things into the space. Some things need to be put out in the open, otherwise if they are taken out suddenly, people will be startled.
At this time, Zhou Yimo was cooking porridge in the kitchen, Dashuang was sweeping the floor, and Xiaoshuang was sitting on a small stool watching Xier play.
Xier picked a bunch of morning glories from somewhere. Maybe it was the first time she saw them. She was dancing with the morning glories in her hands.
The little girl's eyes were sharp. She saw Li Qingqing coming back at once and quickly stood up and ran over: "Big sister, where have you been?"
"Hunting!" Li Qingqing raised the prey in her hand and shook it, "Let's have a good meal today!"
"Hey, there's a rabbit!" Xier ran over and poked the hare excitedly.
Da Shuang was sweeping the floor. She dragged the broom to Zhou's mother's room and told her what was happening outside.
Zhou Yimo was stirring the porridge in the pot with a wooden spoon and was slightly startled when he heard the sound outside.
My lady can actually hunt?
Oh! She does hunt!
She can even kill bad guys, so how can she not know how to hunt?
Li Qingqing came to the kitchen, found a bamboo basket, put the fir mushrooms in it, and handed the pheasant to Zhou Yimo, asking him to boil water and pluck the feathers.
She herself took the rabbit and fir mushrooms to the river to process them.
When Li Qingqing came back from the river and was cooking, Zhou the matchmaker happened to come over.
Matchmaker Zhou came to inform the Zhou family that the guests to be invited to the banquet had been found.
"The cook will bring her own tables, chairs, stools, and bowls. As long as you prepare the ingredients, I'll charge you fifty cents per table."
Zhou's mother was very happy. Fifty cents for a table was a reasonable price.
He also asked Zhou the matchmaker to help notify the people in the village to come to his house for a banquet.
Before leaving, Matchmaker Zhou glanced into the kitchen and saw Li Qingqing cooking in a pot. The aroma she emitted smelled like chicken.
Seeing that Li Qingqing's face was smooth without a trace of rash, he thought that the Zhou family still had some wealth and could easily come up with ten taels of silver.
Not only did he accept his two daughters, he also cured the rash on the girl's face.
Look at this girl, the rash on her face is gone, and she is really beautiful!
