Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 63
Ji Chang just thought there was no suitable candidate, but he met Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming is reliable and has a flexible mind.

He is indeed a reliable partner.

Moreover, he can drive.

Is there anyone better suited than this?

However, Zhao Ming would not accept it directly at this time because the risk was too great for him.

Unless he can earn a sum of money immediately, an income that is enough to allow him to give up farming and support his family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to risk doing anything else.

"It's nothing, I just want to find a chance to learn how to drive from you." Ji Chang found a reason.

"Sure, but it's winter and I won't have time until then." Zhao Ming said seriously.

"What did you catch? Aren't you hunting? Why did you catch fish?" Zhao Ming asked curiously when he heard movement in Ji Chang's bucket.

He also put bamboo baskets in the river, and he could catch some small fish and shrimps.

After all, I don't usually eat meat, so I can only count on the little fish and shrimp in the river.

"Frog, carp, turtle." Ji Chang opened the lid of the bucket and let Zhao Ming take a look.

"So much?" Zhao Ming was shocked.

"But these things taste very fishy when cooked. I have cooked frogs and turtles before, but no one wanted to eat them." Zhao Ming looked at Yi Ji Chang in confusion.

Could it be that Ji Chang has any special cooking methods that can get rid of the fishy smell?
"Cooking this kind of food requires heavy oil and heavy ingredients to make it fragrant and delicious." Ji Chang explained.

"That's a waste of money. If you have the money, you might as well buy some rice." Zhao Ming said with a frown.

Ji Chang nodded. He knew that Zhao Ming always wanted to be strong, and at the same time he was particularly unwilling to owe other people money or favors.

He would rather do everything himself than borrow money or owe others favors.

"Zhao Ming, do you want to change your current life?" Ji Chang glanced at Zhao Ming and prepared to draw a cake for him first.

After all, no one wants to be poor.

Being poor is helpless and passive.

No one is willing to take the initiative to make themselves poor and suffer hardship.

"Nonsense, of course I thought about it, who the hell wants to face the loess and back to the sky. I have been busy for a whole year, and I can't fill my stomach half full."

"Ji Chang, I can't help it. Two younger sisters, a younger brother, and my mother are all pointing at me." Zhao Ming's eyes turned red when he said this.

Ji Chang patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder, and took a deep breath: "I already have an idea to make money. When I get through the way, I will take you to make money together. At that time, I promise you to run a few times, just You can earn money to feed your family.”

"It depends on whether you want to have sex with me."

Zhao Ming raised his eyes and said immediately: "No fool would be willing to do it. I know you are very capable. If others say it, I definitely don't believe it. If you say it, I believe it."

"Okay, then wait for my news. Don't say anything else, let you support your family easily, and it will not be a problem to build a small western-style house in a few years." The fish has already bit the bait, and Ji Chang is relieved.

This cake is not in vain.

Next, it depends on how it works.

"Then I'm waiting for you to make me rich." Zhao Ming said with great anticipation.

After saying that, he went down to the river and picked up the fish basket he had placed.

There are some small fish and shrimps inside, which weigh about half a catty together.

Zhao Ming couldn't see the health bar and didn't know where there were more fish, so he couldn't choose a good place to cage.

What's more, he uses a back basket, and the fish can come in and out freely, so he can't catch many at all.

Ji Chang wanted to give carp or soft-shell turtle to Zhao Ming, but Zhao Ming refused, saying that it would not taste good even if cooked, and no one in his family would eat it, so it was a complete waste.

Zhao Ming didn't want it, and Ji Chang had no choice.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Ming hurried home. He still had a lot of things to do at home while it was still dark.

"Those who can endure hardship will indeed have endless suffering."

Ji Chang looked at Zhao Ming's back and sighed, then picked up his bucket and went home directly.

When she returned home, it was almost dark, and Gu Shuyao had already started cooking under Wang Zhi's guidance.

After being praised by Ji Chang last time, Gu Shuyao wanted to learn a few more dishes to cook for Ji Chang.

Li Linan and Liu Xue were not at home. Ji Chang asked and found out that the two had gone to cut the young grass.

Ji Chang took care of the carp and had no plans to touch anything else for the time being.

In the evening, he was going to make sweet and sour carp and stir-fried chipmunk.

Gu Shuyao has already cooked a pickled river fish, a hand-shredded chicken fir soup, and a dry stir-fried cowpea.

Fortunately, none of the neighbors came back at this point, otherwise they would have been depressed by the scent.

Ji Chang cooked the fish, scraped off the scales, cut open the belly, and then made some diagonal cuts on the fish.

Wash the squirrel meat, cut into sections, add cooking wine and ginger slices, and blanch.

When Ji Chang started cooking sweet and sour carp, Li Linan came back with Liu Xue, each carrying a bundle of tender grass.

"It smells so good. What are you cooking?" Liu Xue put down the young grass and poked her head curiously.

"It should be cooking some meat. Maybe Brother Chang is back." Li Lin'an said while adding fodder to the sheep pen.

She is very envious of the black sheep and mountain deer captured by Ji Chang, who can stay in the sheepfold obediently and do not run away.

Their wild boar tried to escape all day and night, and was very good at escaping. It almost succeeded several times.

She didn't know that the prey that Ji Chang caught were all removed from the wildness by the hunting space, and they were similar to domestic animals, so naturally they would not run around.

"Is it meat? It can't really be squirrel meat, right?" Liu Xue sniffed. As a guest, she couldn't enter the kitchen while the host was cooking. That would not only be impolite, but also uncultured.

"An'an, have you ever eaten squirrel meat? Is it delicious?" Liu Xue asked curiously.

"I have eaten it. Brother Chang used to play squirrels often. He likes to eat it roasted. The outer skin is golden and golden, full of oil, which is delicious. The outer skin is very crispy to bite, and the meat inside is delicious and juicy." , and very tender." As he spoke, Li Linan swallowed involuntarily.

"That's the most delicious food I've ever eaten. Even without salt, the roasted squirrel meat is so delicious!"

The wonderful thing is not only the roasted squirrel, but also the time spent with Ji Chang.

For Li Linan, those are precious memories.

She didn't dare to share this with Gu Shuyao because she was worried that it would affect her relationship with Ji Chang and that Gu Shuyao would think too much.

"Stop talking, my saliva is dripping. It's so embarrassing." Liu Xue wiped her saliva and said with some shame.
