Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 12 Chiseling Ice for Fish

Chapter 12

"Sister-in-law, why are there no fish?" Lu Xier stood on tiptoe, cocked her head, stared at the ice hole with her big eyes, with a trace of disappointment on her face, and her sister-in-law said that there was nothing wrong with the fish jumping out of the water in groups. Happened, does this mean they have failed?
Thinking of the beautiful picture of the future in my mind just now, and comparing this scene, Lu Xier, who was still full of energy just now, was like a deflated ball, her head drooped, her hands and feet became soft, and tears rolled in her eyes Yes, the fish did not show up, which made her very sad.

"Hush!" Su Yun made a silent movement, and said in a low voice: "Just now we hit the ice so loudly that the fish were scared away, so let's stand here quietly for a while, as long as there are fish here, wait It will definitely come running in a while."

"Really?!" Lu Xier raised her head suddenly, her voice was no longer as decadent as before, it was several syllables high, and then she covered her mouth again, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you are right! Is it true?"

"Really, really, my sister-in-law assures you that I will be able to drink fish soup today." Su Yun nodded again and again, bent down, picked up the net bag that was just rushed out lightly, and said: "Come on, let's take our time." Lean over, be careful where you step, this is our first time digging ice, we have no experience, it was smashed to pieces by us, we can only stay on the shore, don't forget about it and go down the river when you see the fish coming up, you know Is it?"

"I know, I know..." Lu Xi'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and assured Su Yun in a voice that couldn't be lowered: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Xi'er will save it."

"Um……"

Su Yun nodded, held his breath, and slowly approached the shore with Lu Xier. After a while, as Su Yun expected, there was movement in the ice cave that was dug.

"Fish, fish..." Lu Xier's lips trembled excitedly, her hands tightly held Su Yun's arm, her whole body trembled, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, fish, fish, fish..."

Su Yun gave Lu Xier a funny look, this kid is so excited, what a kid!But then there was a tinge of distress in my heart, poor child, the children in my previous world were all picky eaters, they didn’t eat this, they didn’t eat that, the poor elder sister just saw a few fish, and she was so excited that she couldn’t eat it. For myself, the difference is too big.

"Big sister, how can sister-in-law go fishing if you drag her like this?"

"Ah, oh..." Lu Xier let go of her hand, with a trace of shyness on her face, she scratched her head, a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to express it, she squirmed her lips, but in the end she didn't say a word Come out and lower your head slowly.

Su Yun gave a low laugh, patted Lu Xi'er's head, and said, "Stay back, sister-in-law is here to fish."

"Ai."

Su Yun went forward with the net bag, and the cave was already full of fish, scrambling to expose their heads, breathing the fresh air.Su Yun smiled wickedly, hey, silly fish, sister is here!

Swinging the net bag, the fish fled in all directions immediately like a frightened bird, but Su Yun, who was confident in his chest, didn't even catch a "fart".

Seeing the empty bamboo pocket, Su Yun was dumbfounded again.There was a shy expression on his face, he patted his head and said, "This, this, this is also the first time this sister-in-law fishes, and still, she still has no rules, this, this..."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. None of us have done this before, take your time..." Lu Xier comforted her sister-in-law very intimately, and there was a look of eagerness in her eyes.

At first, she was a little disappointed to see that Su Yun didn't catch any fish, but after thinking about it, her sister-in-law hadn't caught any fish either, but she knew how to catch fish, and she was obviously much smarter than herself.

Since the sister-in-law said that if you can catch fish today, you will definitely be able to catch it. Who knew that you can dig ice for fish in this winter?What my sister-in-law said has been fulfilled one by one, what is lacking now is just practice.When Dad was alive, didn't he always say "Practice makes perfect", as long as he and his sister-in-law come here every day and catch a few more fish, the family will get better soon!
Although the simple Lu Xi'er has gone through several trials and matured a lot earlier than her brothers and sisters, she is still only a 16-year-old child after all, and her mind is relatively simple.

Besides, the minds of the ancients were still more primitive than the modern people, especially after seeing those fish swimming back again, Lu Xier threw all her worries to the back of her mind, and her throat kept agitating, as if she was about to die. I can eat fish.

Seeing Lu Xi'er's eyes, the look of trusting himself, Su Yun almost cried.

Child, you trust me so much, does your family know?In fact, I'm just an empty-handed guy who only knows theory and has no practical experience!
Su Yun has a villain in his heart, but in order to maintain his dignity as the elder sister-in-law and not to disappoint the children who trusted him, Su Yun also went all out. After the first failure, he tried several times in succession. Failed, but finally let her find some skills.

Most people who know how to cook food are people with ingenuity, and Su Yun is not stupid. After failing a dozen times, she has gradually mastered some rules.

First of all, it is not appropriate to use such tools as bamboo pockets to catch fish. She remembered some scenes in "A Bite of Tongue". It is more appropriate to dig a few holes and then lower the large net.

But right now there is no such condition, even with bamboo pockets, the best way is to go fishing!
Thinking of this, Su Yun took out a money bag from his cuff, counted out ten coins from it, and handed it to Lu Xi'er, "Eldest sister, you go home now, find some hemp rope, get some embroidery needles, bend them into It looks like a fishhook, and then take the money to the third uncle's house next door to buy a chicken (egg) and boil it. This fish is not good for fishing, and we don't have a net, so we can only catch it with a small bamboo pole at home. Bring them all..."

"Hey!" Lu Xi'er happily responded, without asking Su Yunyuan why, took the money and hurried home.Fortunately, Yunxitan is not far from their home, so Lu Xi'er came home not long after, and told the situation, Erlang heard this, and immediately said: "Eldest sister, go to third uncle's natal house to buy chickens, and I will get fishhooks." , There is still a fishhook at home, third brother, eldest sister, come, help elder brother rub the hemp rope, move quickly, sister-in-law is still waiting by the pool. Second sister, go boil the water."

"Hey, second brother!"

When the little ones in the family heard that there was fish to eat, they were immediately full of energy.Even three-year-old Lu Yuan'er and five-year-old Lu Silang were not idle, and went to help the second sister pack firewood...
