Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

The number of fish caught was so large that Liu Qingsong couldn't stop smiling.

Liu Xiuqin's face was also beaming with a bright smile.

With so many fish, we can sell them for a good price.

After the nets were hauled in, Liu Xiuqin was in charge of selecting the fish, while Qin Qiming instructed her to put the high-quality fish in a worn-out-looking bag and the smaller fish in a better-looking bag.

Liu Xiuqin couldn't help but laugh.

She understood Qin Qiming's meaning: if fish were taken from a seemingly intact bag, people would assume they were good fish. In reality, they were all ordinary, miscellaneous fish.

Many kinds of fish were caught, including mandarin fish and silver carp.

Liu Xiuqin was dazzled by the sheer number of fish and quickly packed them into bags to prevent them from freezing.

Liu Xiuqin spent half a day setting up the nets, but then the nets were full again, so she had to keep setting them up.

After the second haul, Qin Qiming decided to stop fishing because the net was already full.

After putting away the nets, Qin Qiming specially packed a bag of good fish for his uncle to take home.

After taking their belongings home, Qin Qiming and Liu Qingsong went straight to the village chief's house and recounted the story of the Blue-Faced Ghost.

"The Blue-Faced Ghost? Wasn't he already dead?" The village chief frowned deeply. "Where did we meet him? Was it really him?"

"I think it's him. The scars and burn marks on his face are very obvious. It must be him! And I noticed someone was watching Zhang Laosan. Zhang Laosan and the Blue-Faced Ghost are definitely connected. That bastard is incredibly audacious!"

The village chief's expression was grave: "This villain is notoriously ruthless. We suffered heavy losses when we suppressed the bandits back then. He kills without blinking an eye. We thought the bandit problem was solved, but now a green-faced devil has appeared."

He started to have a headache. He had thought everything was going well and life was starting to improve, but then this happened.

Qin Qiming: "Uncle Tian, ​​we can't handle this. We have to go down the mountain and find the government to handle it. They are very experienced."

"Then why didn't you report to the local government when you returned?"

"I dared not. As soon as I got the things and picked up Huimin and her brother, I immediately returned to the mountain, afraid that the other party would notice something was wrong."

Liu Qingsong looked at Qin Qiming and said, "I'm old, so it doesn't matter if something happens to me, but Qiming can't be harmed."

"Nonsense, nothing can happen to anyone!" the village chief continued, "Is Zhang Laosan willing to take the goods?"

"I'm willing, I'll increase the price by 20%, and I also want about 100 kilograms of wild fish."

When will you give it to me?

"Recently."

“These past few days…” The village chief paused for a moment and nodded, “Then I’ll go down the mountain with you tomorrow. Qiming doesn’t need to come along. We don’t need so many people to sell things.”

He looked at Qin Qiming and said, "Tell me what you need, I'll write it down and buy it for you."

"I'm worried that Zhang Laosan will find out."

“Zhang Laosan isn’t very bright, and there aren’t many soldiers in town, so he’s not capable of handling this. By the way, my second son, Qin Hao, is going up the mountain tomorrow. You should come with him and learn more.”

"Let's deal with the important matters first. I'll go down the mountain with you in case something happens to my uncle."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't talk too much, I'll be fine," Liu Qingsong said impatiently. "I can live without you."

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried about you."

"Alright!" The village chief waved his hand. "It's settled then. Your uncle and I will go down the mountain. You go up the mountain and hunt more with your brother Hao. If you find any flying dragons, give them to your sister-in-law Kang in Zhangjia Village so she can make soup for Kangzi to nourish his body."

"Alright, I'll go up the mountain with Brother Hao and visit Brother Kang while I'm at it."

"Okay, let's have dinner first. My wife has prepared it."

"No need, my wife has prepared a meal. We'll have fish soup today. I'm going home now."

After Liu Qingsong left, the village chief fell into deep thought.

It was a big deal, and it happened very suddenly.

The appearance of the Blue-Faced Demon made him feel dangerous, but thinking of the Blue-Faced Demon's past deeds, he remained determined.

That villain, the Green-Faced Demon, must be killed this time to avenge the suffering people and the villagers in the mountains!

"Uncle Tian, ​​I'm going back too. Just bring me three quilts when you go to town."

Qin Qiming waved and left the village chief's house.

As soon as he entered, he saw the white fox making Qin Qixiu laugh.

Qin Qixiu laughed heartily.

When Qin Qixiu saw Qin Qiming return, she immediately jumped into his arms: "Brother's back!"

Qin Qiming gently patted Qin Qixiu, "Why are you so happy? What are you doing?"

Qin Qixiu pointed at the white fox: "It's teasing me!"

Qin Qiming looked at the white fox, which lazily moved a little, then lay down and went to sleep by the fire.

Qin Qiming's lips twitched; the white fox was indeed quite clever.

After finishing his meal, Qin Qiming instructed Liu Xiuqin to pack up the fish and a wild boar so that his uncle could take them down the mountain to exchange for money the next day. Then he returned to the storeroom to lie down and rest.

Last night, he specially prepared a new quilt for Min.

We only need three more new quilts before all three children in the family will have new ones.

Last night, when Min saw the new quilt, she was filled with emotion.

Although the wooden house wasn't as clean as the white houses in the county town, Qin Qiming treated her and her younger siblings very well.

This winter won't be too cold, because her heart is warm.

Min was in the living room taking care of the children while they read.

The children were very sensible because Min told them that Qin Qiming had gone hunting at three o'clock last night and needed to rest early, so they quietly read their books.

At first, the children's attention was not on the book, but they were soon drawn to the plot and read for an hour.

Unable to sit still any longer, Chen Xu took the white fox out to play after obtaining **Min's consent.

They dressed up the white fox in old cloth to look like the Big Bad Wolf, which looked quite comical.

Qin Qiming slept until nine o'clock the next morning.

Min and the children were making a fire in the courtyard early in the morning, roasting sweet potatoes and corn with dry tree roots. The aroma wafted into the storage room, waking Qin Qiming from his sleep.

"Did you roast sweet potatoes?" Qin Qiming asked.

Min, her face flushed, turned to him: "Yes, come and eat. Do you want me to bring you a bowl of noodles to eat with us?"

"Okay." Qin Qiming grinned foolishly.

Having a wife at home makes all the difference.

Min put down the sweet potato, went into the kitchen, and brought out a bowl of noodles.

The children had already eaten and were gathered around the fire roasting sweet potatoes.

Min handed Qin Qiming a peeled sweet potato: "Eat this with noodles."

Qin Qiming took the sweet potato, took a big bite, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth, filling his heart with happiness, because it was a sweet potato that Min had peeled for him.

I wasn't in a rush to go up the mountain today because I didn't have to go very far.

You need to bring some good stuff to see Qin Kang before you can go.

"Qiming, are you up yet?"

"Get up!"

Qin Qiming had just finished eating when he opened the door.

"Brother Hao, so early?"

Qin Qiming invited Qin Hao into the house.

"It's not early, it's almost ten o'clock. We've already had breakfast for a while. Shall we go up the mountain? The weather has been great these past few days. The grouse are out hunting. If we catch a few and stew them with hazel mushrooms, I guarantee it will be incredibly delicious."
