Chapter 38

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want." Da Zhuang said with a grin.He didn't ask for anything, as long as he had something to eat.

It's still early now, Chen Guaibao doesn't want to eat dry instant noodles, she wants to eat soaked ones "Well, it will take a while for father and mother to come back, shall we eat soaked instant noodles?" Chen Guaibao suggested enthusiastically.

"Okay, okay." Hearing Chen Guaibao's words, Zhuang Zhuang quickly nodded in agreement.As early as when he ate instant noodles for the first time, Chen Guaibao told him that it tastes better when soaked in hot water, but because he used to live with a large family, he never had the chance to eat it.Now hearing Chen Guaibao's proposal, he hastened to agree.

"Well, listen to you, third sister." Seeing Zhuang Zhuang like this, Da Zhuang also nodded in agreement.

Just do what you say, Chen Guabao went into the kitchen to boil hot water, Chen Guabao decided to make Beijing instant noodles, which uses less hot water and is easy to wash dishes.Chen Guaibao added four bowls of cold water to the pot, and then sat in front of the stove to boil it.

Chen Guabao kept stuffing dry firewood, and set it on a high fire. After a while, the water boiled. Chen Guabao took out three packs of Beijing instant noodles, tore open the bags one by one, put the noodles in a bowl, and finally poured in an appropriate amount of noodles. hot water, just wait to eat.

When Chen Guaibao was making instant noodles, Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang stood around and looked at her. Seeing Chen Guaibao's skillful movements, Da Zhuang said sincerely, "Sister, you are so kind!" Thousands of words are not enough Describe Da Zhuang's satisfaction with Chen Guaibao, his younger sister.

"Hey, big brother, as long as you listen to me in the future, your benefits will be indispensable." Chen Guaibao patted his small chest and said.

"Yeah, follow Third Sister, there is meat to eat." Zhuang Zhuang also echoed.

Seeing the two elder brothers looking at him eagerly, Chen Guaibao laughed heartily, "Elder Brother, Second Brother, don't worry, one day, I will make our family's life easier."

"Yeah, trust the third sister." Zhuang Zhuang continued to agree, he is a sister-in-law, he dotes on Chen Guaibao very much, it can be said that he obeys his advice.

Zhuang Zhuang's appearance made Chen Guaibao laugh for a long time, her second brother is also a cute guy.

After the noodles were soaked, Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang, who ate instant noodles for the first time, kept saying that they were delicious, and kept stuffing them into their mouths regardless of whether they were hot or not.

After eating, the three of them were sweating profusely again. They scooped up some water and washed their faces again. Chen Guaibao went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Before Chen Sanniu and Chen Yangshi came back, she had to wash the dishes .

However, while washing the dishes, Chen Guaibao hesitated whether to tell her secret or not. After all, they are separated now. Although their family of five is poor, they have a very happy life. She and Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang often Stealing some good food, Chen Sanniu and Chen Yang, as the main laborers of the family, live on a daily basis, Chen Guaibao is very distressed about this.

If she told her secret, then their family would be able to get rich soon, and they wouldn't have to work so hard like they are now.

However, Chen Guaibao hesitated over and over again, and decided to wait a few years. Now that she is young, her life is still going well. She doesn't have to be too impatient, so let's just live with it.

But thinking of Chen Sanniu and Chen Yang's hard work, Chen Guaibao decided to go to the river to find two fish and come back to cook fish soup. He had been eating pickles for two days in a row, and the family members didn't want to eat them.

Chen Guaibao did what he said, locked the door, and dragged Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang to the river.

As usual, Da Zhuang was catching fish in the river with a washbasin. Zhuang Zhuang and Chen Guabao squatted beside him and watched. Chen Guabao watched the fish swimming in the small river, and suddenly noticed that there were snails in the river. .

The snails, Chen Guaibao's eyes lit up. She used to only pay attention to the fish in the river, but never cared about the snails in the river. Now she took a closer look, hey, there are so many snails in the river!

Escargot can also be sold for money. Although it is not as expensive as fish, flies are also meat~~ Chen Guaibao recalled the spicy snail cooked by her mother in her previous life, and her saliva flowed out again. Now she really wants to eat everything she sees. .

Chen Guabao squatted by the river, picked up a snail, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, Chen Guabao said to Da Zhuang, "Brother, this snail is also a good thing, let's pick more."

"Good thing? What can this thing do?" Da Zhuang said, and fished one out of the water.

"It can be eaten." Chen Guaibao said as a matter of course, "Don't you know?" No way. Don't people here know that snails can be eaten?Isn't there a beautiful legend about the snail girl?

Hearing Chen Guaibao say that this thing can be eaten, Zhuang Zhuang also fished one out of the water, "How can I eat this thing?" It's so ugly, and the shell is so hard, can it be bitten?

"Eat the meat inside." Chen Guaibao saw that Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang really didn't know, so he demonstrated to them with the snail in his hand, "Look, isn't there a hard cover here? Open the hard cover, and the inside is soft. The meat is edible."

Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang did as Chen Guaibao said, but after seeing the soft and smooth meat of the snail, both of them showed disgusted expressions at the same time, "It's so disgusting, it's like snot, and it's edible. Is it?" Da Zhuang said with disgust.

Like snot?It's obviously meat, but it doesn't look like snot!Chen Guabao's face was full of black lines, "It doesn't look delicious, but it will be delicious after cooking." Chen Guabao said unconvincingly.

She just knows that snails can be eaten, but she doesn't know how to do it, ahem.

"Then give me a taste." Da Zhuang demanded.

"I won't." Chen Guaibao was very guilty. "I will when I grow up, but I won't now. When I grow up, I will make it for you." Chen Guabao promised with the illusory future.

"Okay, then when you grow up, you must make it for me." Da Zhuang seriously urged.

Chen Guaibao nodded, "Okay, sure. But now let's pick some more, these things can also turn out to be delicious."

"Okay!" Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang said in unison, as long as there is something delicious, then everything is easy to talk about!
So the three of them picked up a lot of snails, and Chen Guaibao threw them all into the space. Of course, they did not forget their business, fishing~~
Feeling that Chen Sanniu and Chen Yangshi are coming back soon, Chen Guaibao and the three returned home, Chen Guaibao washed a handful of rice and put it into the pot, then asked Zhuang Zhuang to light the fire, and she and Da Zhuang went to the well to kill fish .

The fish touched this time were not big, less than a foot long, so Da Zhuang's children's shoes were relatively easy to kill. First, they removed the scales of the fish, and then dug out the internal organs.

The behavior of their two children made the passing villagers laugh. It was the time of cooking in the evening, and there were many people coming to the well to fetch water. They were all from the same village and knew each other, so Da Zhuang and Chen Guabao saw people. Just say hello, no matter if you are familiar or unfamiliar, you will say hello.

These two children aroused the attention of the crowd. Chen Guabao said solemnly that her father and mother worked hard every day, and she made fish soup for them to drink. Her words attracted praise from everyone. Nod to accept.

After the fish was cleaned, Chen Guabao and Da Zhuang went home together. After returning home, Chen Guabao asked Da Zhuang to build a simple stove with a few adobe bricks. I bought the earthen pot, scrubbed it clean, and put the fish in it.Add an appropriate amount of water, cut the onion and garlic and put it in, and then burn it with fire.

When Chen Sanniu and Chen Yangshi came back, Chen Guaibao's fish soup had already been cooked. Of course, she added the seasoning packet of instant noodles, so although the fish soup still had an earthy smell this time, it was better than before Quite a lot.

The three children actually cooked fish soup, which made Chen Sanniu and Chen Yang very excited, especially Chen Yang, who cried while holding the three children, which made Chen Guaibao very embarrassed. Although she cared about Chen Sanniu and Chen Yangshi, but she is a shy child, she doesn't like to show her feelings, sensational or something, I hate it the most~~O(∩_∩)O~
On the second day, after waiting for no one at home, Chen Guaibao entered the space. She was worried about the snails thrown into the space yesterday.What reassures her is that the snails she threw in yesterday have been put into a transparent water basin by Xiaoer. The diameter of the water basin is [-] centimeters, and the snails fill most of the basin.

It seems that the three of them picked a lot yesterday, Chen Guaibao muttered to himself, and then asked Xiao Er, "Xiao Er, how much is this snail?"

"Three yuan a catty."

"So cheap?" Chen Guaibao frowned. Although he knew that snails were not as expensive as fish, it was too cheap, right?Three yuan a catty, the money you can get is thirty cents a catty!

"Darling, our price is very fair, the price is in the middle, not too high, not too low, just right." Xiao Er explained gently.

"But thirty cents a catty..." Chen Guaibao pouted, this is too cheap o(︶︿︶)o
"My dear, this price is very fair."

"Okay, no matter what price you offer, I have to sell it." Chen Guaibao replied with a weary voice, then turned on the computer, started to browse the Taobao website, drooling at the pile of food and clothing~~
Every day she is working hard to make money and worrying about food, she also wants to have some entertainment~ As a Taobao lover, looking at all kinds of things is also a great entertainment.

Next, Chen Guaibao stopped fishing, and she took Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang to pick snails. No one picked snails before, and there were many in the river. Now they were all at a disadvantage.

They walked around Shanhe Village along the small river and picked all the snails they could find.

In addition to picking snails, Chen Guaibao began to search for mountain products again.The number of fish in the river is decreasing. If you can't go down the river to catch fish, then go up the mountain to search for mountain products.

So Chen Guaibao began to be a dry goods dealer again. Dried mushrooms and fungus are valuable, but Chen Guaibao dare not openly dry mushrooms and fungus at home, so she can only pick mushrooms and fungus and throw them into the space.

Mushrooms and fungus are good things. Their family lacks vegetables, so Chen Guaibao is not in a hurry to exchange money. After picking mushrooms and fungus, she will keep some of them for herself to cook and eat.

There is a lot of rain in summer. After the rain, many mushrooms will appear in the mountains. This makes Chen Guaibao very happy. After a few rains, Chen Guaibao took Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang to pick mushrooms and fungus. By the end of August, another tael of silver was added to Chen Guaibao's account.

During this time, she also bought some snacks, but counting the money for selling mushrooms and fungus, she already had four taels of silver in her account.
