I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

The mentally retarded Xiao Tao sister kept pestering, "Brother God of Wealth, what is your part-time job?"

Brother God of Wealth, are you done yet? You're also concerned about my part-time job. An outsourced employee, show the alchemy furnace to Taishang Laojun.

Oh, that’s great. Sister Xiaotao is inexplicably excited. Is there any magic pill?

Of course there are elixirs, the God of Wealth answered without hesitation.

Sister Xiaotao is proud of this. She doesn’t know what the elixir tastes like. A foodie is a foodie and all she cares about is whether it tastes good or not.

Is it a magic pill? I don’t know what it tastes like. Brother God of Wealth feels a little disappointed.

You make elixirs, how come you don’t know what the elixir tastes like? Sister Xiaotao is a little confused.

Brother God of Wealth was in a bad mood. We were in different positions. I was burning the boiler downstairs and Laozi was in the alchemy room. I didn't even know what the elixir looked like, let alone what it tasted like.

Sister Tao knew she had spoken out of turn and didn't dare dwell on it any longer. However, she couldn't stop thinking about the Taishang Laojun's elixir. Her mind was filled with chocolate-like balls, crispy on the outside and fragrant and sweet on the inside, and she couldn't help but drool.

The God of Wealth knew from her expression that she was fantasizing and could not help but retort to her that the elixirs in heaven were just like the tonics on earth, most of which were bitter. Besides, ordinary people could not eat elixirs as they would not be able to bear it and would explode and die.

Is it so powerful? Sister Xiaotao was shocked. Then I can’t eat it. This kind of tonic is like honey to you and poison to me.

The God of Wealth sneered and said, "I have not been qualified in the Heaven for five hundred years. How can you, a mortal, get the confidence from you? You dare not eat it. Even if you lick it, you can increase your life by a hundred years."

Is it so amazing? Sister Xiaotao immediately had another idea.

Brother God of Wealth quickly stopped him and said, "Time is running out. I have to go back. Otherwise, I will be late for clocking in and won't be able to enter the South Heavenly Gate. If you have something to say, just say it quickly."

Time is running out, so Sister Tao, please cut to the chase and ask how much the elixir costs. The God of Wealth walked away without a word. In a flash, all that remained on the screen was a dialog box indicating that the other party had logged off, floating alone in the air.

Sister Xiaotao regretted it very much. The key point was how to add wisdom points. Nothing was explained clearly in one sentence. What should she do?

There was a loud shout outside the door. Sister Tao climbed to the window and looked down. It turned out that two mud monkeys, one big and one small, had returned. Niu Niu shouted to Sister Tao on the second floor, "Seventh Aunt, I brought you some prawns, lots and lots of prawns, come down and have a look." Sister Xiaoyu smiled. She didn't know when she changed into her water pants. She looked like she was wrapped in a mud bag, but she looked really happy. Several little puppies from her uncle's house were also excited and circled around her favorite.

Niu Niu was carrying a bag and poured it on the ground. Sure enough, there were big crayfish. They crawled all over the yard in an instant. The black and red crayfish were really big. They scared several puppies in the yard and made them run away. In an instant, they did not realize the danger and immediately ran back, shouting and threatening the crayfish.

Sister Tao, dazed and disoriented, stumbled downstairs, armed with the knowledge Big Brother Caishen had imparted, to take a look at the fruits of their victory. It was quite a sight: a basket of small fish mingled with a few shrimps, a dozen eels mingled with a few loaches. The crayfish seemed to be the most numerous, each one waving its large claws in anger. The timid ones retreated, while the bolder ones stood firm, blocking the way. For Sister Xiaoyu, these were all delicacies. Her mood was comparable to that of a stock market swarm.

At the beginning, we just went to the creek to play. Unexpectedly, there were more fish than water in the ditch. Although they were not big, they were easy to catch. We dug a few pieces of pond mud and blocked them up and down. The small fish and shrimps could not escape the net. By the way, we also harvested a lot of loaches. Sister Xiaoyu was humming a song, and Niu Niu was stunned. He originally wanted to show off his skills in front of this beautiful aunt, but he was completely killed in seconds. In a short while, he had a lot of harvests. He had no choice but to take out the big killer, the eel hook, and prepare to make a surprise. Who knew that when we got to the edge of the field, we found a lot of crayfish before we made any move. Now the mother and daughter were busy, chasing each other, no nonsense, and cooperating seamlessly. A bag of crayfish was not filled, and Niu Niu took off his pants and put the rest in his trouser legs. He simply caught a lot of eels. That's it, this time the battle was called off, and the Monkey King is back.

I haven't had so much fun in years. For a child who grew up in the countryside, this is the biggest gain.

Relatives flocked over to help catch fish and shrimp. There was a water tank upstairs, with running water running to the pool in the yard. My aunt-in-law turned on the tap to help Little Fish rinse the mud off the reservoir, laughing and scolding Niu Niu. "Look, I asked you to take Auntie fishing and see the scenery, but you asked Auntie to go fishing in the river instead. What a fool! You're so ignorant! The water's still cold, don't get frozen later. Rinse first, then go upstairs for a hot shower to get rid of the cold."

Sister Xiaoyu was having fun and didn’t care about this at all. “It’s okay, Auntie. I also grew up in the village when I was a child. I’m very tough.”

A group of people hurriedly put all the fish and shrimp into basins, brought them to the pool in the yard, and began to help wash them. Niu Niu was twisted by his mother's ears and sent back to take a shower and change clothes. Xiaoyujie was briefly rinsed and then taken away. Her aunt took her to the second floor to take a hot shower to prevent her from catching a cold.

There's a pressurized water well in the yard, which is very convenient. Xiao Tao went over to wash her face and begged her aunt, "I want to eat drunken shrimp." Her aunt looked at the shrimp jumping around in the basin and agreed affectionately. Drunken shrimp is Xiao Tao's favorite. Her aunt is her specialty. She often made it for her when she was a child. Back then, the ingredients were not as abundant as they are now. She simply choked it with some white wine and added a little white vinegar and soy sauce. But the river shrimp are so delicious that they taste good no matter how they are prepared. Now that Xiao Yu, a distinguished guest who has returned from studying abroad, has her aunt show off her cooking skills.

The mother and daughter discussed it warmly. There are a lot of loaches. They can be raised and spit out the mud and sand. We will talk about it the day after tomorrow. The eels can be killed and eaten immediately. Sister Xiao Tao said shamelessly, I will take care of the eels and crayfish.

My aunt and several relatives laughed together and said, "How could you, a college student, do such things?"

They didn't know that during her college years, Xiao Taojie learned a lot about food at a snack bar near the university town. It was a work-study program, but she started out simply to see other people's cooking skills. Because she was lazy, she didn't really learn much; she was just a jack of all trades.

But now the ingredients are good, and there are people to help, this tiger girl really started to work,

Crayfish were easy, so the aunts took care of them. But Sister Tao was quite good at killing eels. She found a long wooden board, nailed a long nail in it, with the exposed side of the nail facing up. She held the eel's head with her middle finger in one hand and the eel's tail with the other hand, then scratched the nail. That was it, done in a few strokes.
