Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 11 Weeding the Cornfield
Gu Yu took a bite of coarse grains and a bite of meat. He felt that Yang's cooking was really good. It was similar to the food he had eaten at the restaurant today. He said, "The four dishes, one soup and one portion of rice we had at noon today cost one hundred and twenty." Shi Wen, it doesn’t taste as good as my mother’s fried rice.”

When Ms. Yang heard Gu Yu praise her, she smiled happily and said, "It's delicious. Eat more."

Gu Yu nodded in agreement.

At eight o'clock in the evening, I helped Yang pack the fried meat, washed up, went back to the house, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

The next morning, after having a simple breakfast, I took my lunch, a hoe, and a sickle and went to the foot of the mountain to hoe the cornfield.

In the south, spring corn planting time is from March to April, and harvest time is from July to August. Gu Yu's family is located in the south. Corn seeds were sown in February of the lunar calendar. Now is a good time to weed.

During the process of hoeing, Gu Yu recalled in his mind how to use a hoe correctly. According to the method in his memory, he took the hoe behind the corn ridge, swung the hoe to remove the surrounding weeds, and covered it with soil.

In this way, the weeds will rot through the soil cover and turn into fertilizer to nourish the land and make the corn grow better.

When the sun was shining high, Gu Yu stopped to take a drink from the bamboo tube filled with water. He felt very uncomfortable looking at his parents whose faces were flushed by the sun.

I thought about hoeing the grass in the fields in the past two days and going to the mountains again, looking for an opportunity to take things from the secret realm and sell them in the county town to make more money.

At noon, Gu Yu said to Gu Wu and Yang: "Mom, it's almost lunch. I'm going to go for a walk on the hillside."

Yang responded: "Hey! You go ahead!"

When bringing lunch this morning, Gu Yu saw that Yang only brought a can of vegetables boiled in boiled water, a bowl of kidney beans stir-fried with chili peppers, and a bowl of dipping water.

I want to go for a walk on the hillside and try my luck to see if I can catch pheasants or rabbits.

Unfortunately, the hillside was too close to the foot of the mountain. Rabbits and pheasants did not appear there. I looked around and used my mental power to detect the surrounding situation. I found that there were pheasants in the forest, so I used my mental power to drive two over.

Listening to the "coo" sound getting closer and closer, I quickly grabbed two and took them to a nearby stream to clean them.

Gu Wu walked over quietly and saw Gu Yu killing chickens by the stream. He called out "Yu'er" and walked quickly to Gu. He saw the chicken feathers on the ground and said with a smile: "Not bad! Go!" You can even catch two pheasants while walking around the hillside.”

Gu Yu pointed at another pheasant and said, "Dad, you came just in time. Let's take care of these two pheasants quickly, go to the field to call my mother, collect some firewood, burn it into a charcoal fire, and roast a pheasant to eat."

Under the warm sunshine, Gu Wu quickly took over the dead pheasant and roasted it gently on the campfire to burn the feathers. He said in an unhurried tone, "No need to rush, take care of the pheasant first, and then go collect firewood." It’s not too late.”

The pheasant in Gu Yu's hand had been cleaned by her. She cut some leaves for cleaning, put the treated pheasant on the leaves, and collected firewood by the stream.

Gu Wu looked at his daughter's skillful movements, handling the pheasant in his hand, and said: "Yu'er, go back."

Yang didn't see her father and daughter coming back. She was about to take a look when she saw them holding firewood and two pheasants. She was surprised and said, "Master, didn't you go ask Yu'er to come back for lunch? Why did you kill two pheasants?”

Gu Wu shook the pheasant in his hand and said, "Yu'er shot it on the hillside."

In fact, the couple noticed that Gu Yu went to the stream early in the morning. It happened that Gu Wu was going to get some water and come back to wash his hands, so they followed him to take a look.

Gu Yu threw down the firewood and said, "Mom, I want to eat roasted pheasant at noon. You can light the fire and roast it. Dad also has a rest. I'll go hoe the grass. Call me when the meat is roasted."

Yang originally wanted to take it home and fry it at night, but since her daughter wanted to eat it at noon, let’s bake it!
An hour later, Yang finished roasting the pheasant, took out a piece of coarse cloth from her backpack, spread it on the open ground, laid out the food one by one, and shouted loudly: "Yu'er's father, Yu'er, come here to eat first!" Echoes in the empty fields. When a villager working in another field heard the sound, he stopped what he was doing and asked loudly: "Aunt Yang, your family hasn't had lunch yet!"

Yang replied loudly: "Xiaoyu went to the hillside to hunt two pheasants. She insisted on roasting them today. I just roasted them!"

The villagers felt a little envious after hearing this. Yang and Gu Wu really doted on their children. Instead of taking the game home to make soup and eating it together, they would roast it in the field. But then they thought about it, there were only three people in the Gu family, and it didn't seem to matter whether they took it back or not.

Yang chatted loudly with the villagers. Gu Yu and his daughter came over to wash their hands. The family sat around on the stone. Gu Wu handed a pheasant to Gu Yu and said with a smile: "I'll give you this pheasant." Eat the other one with your mother.”

Although the two pheasants benefited from the abundance in the mountains, they grew extremely plump. As the head of the family, Gu Wu has a large appetite. Compared with Gu Yu, the two of them only eat about the same amount.

Where can one meal be enough for a couple? Gu Yu took the pheasant, skillfully tore it into several pieces and placed them on the banana leaf.

He took off two chicken legs, put them into Yang and Gu Wu's bowls, and said softly: "Let's eat together."

Gu Wu and Yang looked at the chicken drumsticks in the bowl, feeling unspeakably satisfied and happy. After a morning of hard work, all the fatigue disappeared after eating the drumsticks.

Gu Yu ate the pheasant meat grilled with no seasoning and only salt, and was full of praise for Yang's craftsmanship. While chewing the food and tasting the vegetables, an idea flashed in her mind, and a plan was quietly born.

Noticed that after Gu Wu and his wife finished eating the chicken legs, they stopped eating meat. She glared at them and pushed another pheasant's drumstick towards them again: "Mom and dad, eat! If you don't eat, I won't be able to finish it even if I can eat it!"

Yang looked at Gu Yu and pushed the drumstick towards her: "Mom, I ate one, and I'll give this to you."

And Gu Wu also expressed that he wanted to give his chicken legs to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu picked up the chicken wings and smiled softly: "Since we roasted two pheasants and there is so much meat, there is no need to leave the chicken legs to me."

But Yang insisted: "The chicken drumsticks are rich in meat. Mom has already eaten one, so this is for you." In her heart, she had already eaten one drumstick, and the other one should be given to her daughter.

Seeing her mother's insistence, Gu Yu picked up a chicken wing and said, "Mom, I'll eat the chicken wings, and I'll eat the chicken legs."

Forget it, if she doesn't eat a chicken leg, her mother will definitely not eat a bite of meat.

There was a lot of meat in the chicken wings. Yang still wanted to leave it to Gu Yu and eat the rest by herself, but Gu Yu wouldn't let her speak and said, "Eat quickly. You have to work after the break. Try to get this piece of corn today." Finished hoeing."

This piece of land is three acres, and based on the progress of the three of them, it could be completed the day before yesterday. Because Gu Yu went to collect wild mushrooms and hunt wild boars the day before yesterday, he returned home early to sell meat, which delayed the progress.

We only hoeed less than an acre the day before yesterday, and we have to finish the rest today.

After a short break after the meal, Gu Yu did not slack off and picked up the hoe to continue working.

Gu Yu was very fast in the afternoon, finishing a row of corn in almost fifteen minutes, leaving Gu Wu and his wife far behind.

Gu Shishan, who was on his way to relieve himself in the woods, passed by Gu Yu's cornfield and exclaimed: "Brother Wu, is it going to end today?"
