The general is happy: the fierce wife of the peasant family is ruthless and stunning

Chapter 36 The Road To Riches
Early in the morning of the next day, as soon as the sky became gray, Qin Ya got up quickly and prepared breakfast.

First I baked a few vegetable pancakes, then boiled a pot of gruel and steamed some steamed buns.

People in the countryside usually eat these for breakfast, just a piece of pancake and a bowl of porridge.

Wealthier families can boil a few more eggs at most.

Since Qin Ya traveled here, there have been constant turmoil, and she has no time to go to the town to buy things for use.

I made some casual meals with the things in the house. Xin'er was still young, and it was time for her body to grow. She needed nutrition and protein, and she couldn't always eat porridge and wild vegetables.

Qin Ya made up her mind in her heart that she would save a sum of money and buy a few chickens when it was completely winter. After raising them for ten and a half months, they would be able to lay eggs. After that, they would steam eggs for Xin'er every morning.

Breakfast was prepared in a hurry, Li Xin'er was still asleep, and Qin Ya didn't wake him up.

He directly put the porridge in the crock pot that Li Chenggu used to hold her chicken soup to keep warm, took a few pancakes and put them in a bowl, and put them on the table, waiting for him to eat when he woke up.

After finishing this, Qin Ya took a cloth bag, filled it with three or four steamed large white steamed buns, and went out from the house.

When we got to the next door, Lan Meizi was still eating, and when she saw her coming, she greeted her, "Sister Sufen, you came here so early? Do you want to eat some together?"

"I have already eaten."

Qin Ya declined her kindness.

Lan Meizi's family is good, and the breakfast on the table can be more substantial. In addition to steamed buns and porridge, there are also a few eggs and a small dish of dried pork.

In the village, no one eats meat on a daily basis, except for Chinese New Year.

Qin Ya was seriously injured before, and Li Chenggu bought a chicken for sixty renminbi in order to make up for her. Normally, ordinary farmers could not afford meat.

After eating breakfast, Lan Meizi, like Qin Ya, took a cloth bag and put a few steamed buns in it, but she also wrapped a bag of dried pork in oiled paper.

This is the meal prepared by the two for noon.

Because when the two of them were reading yesterday, they chatted and heard Lan Meizi say that there are many snails and crucian carp in the nearby river, but people in this era don't know how to eat them, and no one wants them.

"It's those poor people who can't even afford gruel, so they fish some back from the river and cook soup to drink."

Sister Lan said so.

When Qin Ya heard this, she thought, these two things are good things in modern times.

Although the snails are troublesome to handle, as long as they are done well, they are absolutely delicious one by one. Every night in the night market streets, there is an endless stream of people eating this.

As for crucian carp, of course it is not suitable for soup.

Crucian carp has many bones, and people in this era don't know how to deal with it. After boiling the soup, they only drink the soup, and the fish is discarded.

What a waste.

Qin Ya pondered in her heart, and said to Tan Lanfang, "I heard that some people used snails and crucian carp to make rare delicacies in the world, how about we also go to the river to fish some?"

"Sister, are you trying to spoil me? How can you make such a rare and delicious thing that no one wants?"

"If you don't believe me, let's do this, you will lead the way tomorrow, we will prepare some tools, and I will take you to fish some back, and you will know when I make it for you to eat."

Although Tan Lanfang was skeptical and didn't really believe what she said, but after all, after staying at home alone for a long time, it was rare for her to go out.

With a thought, whether to eat or not is the second priority, and it is true to want to go out with Qin Ya.

"That's fine. I have the tools here. Tomorrow, after my sister has breakfast, I'll come here early. I'll go out with you to get some back, so that I won't have to work hard when the sun comes out by the river."

"Ah."

Qin Ya complied with her statement.

Speaking of tools, Qin Ya was really dumbfounded when she saw what she was holding.

"My dear girl, is this the tool you mentioned?"

I saw that Tan Lanfang was holding something that looked like a basket made of bamboo. It was bigger and deeper than ordinary baskets, about two feet deep and three feet wide.

"That's it, don't underestimate it, it's absolutely good at catching fish and snails."

Seeing her eloquence, Qin Ya didn't say much.

The two of them tidied up a bit and headed towards the river.

Along the way, Tan Lanfang taught Qin Ya how to catch crucian carp, Qin Ya nodded frequently.

When they got to the river, the sky turned white. Qin Ya was not as flexible as Tan Lanfang because she was too fat.

I saw that she caught several crucian carp in a short time.

Qin Ya had no choice but to go to the river with a basket to pick up snails. It's because people in this day and age don't know these things.

Both of them were tired and stopped to rest for a while.

This body is also used to being lazy, and she hasn't exercised for a long time, and now Qin Ya's body is covered with sweat, and her stomach starts to growl.

Qin Ya took out the steamed buns, intending to eat some before continuing.

Call Tan Lanfang to come over and rest, "Sister Lan, you should take a rest too, it's still early, we're not in a hurry."

Seeing this, Tan Lanfang also opened her cloth pocket, took out steamed buns and dried pork, and asked Qin Ya to eat with her.

Farmers are mostly simple, and what they give is real. Qin Ya knows that she does not lack these foods, and it is even more difficult to refuse, so she eats generously.

It's been a long time since I tasted meat in my mouth, and I ate too much wild vegetables, and Qin Ya couldn't help but feel a little greedy from the meat.

After the two of them finished eating the steamed buns and jerky pork, Qin Ya worked harder with the belief of reciprocity.

"I'll let you see my craft when I go back at noon."

The two caught a basket full of snails, and counted the number of crucian carp, and there were seventeen of them...

"Okay, then I'll see how my sister takes these unwanted things and turns them into something delicious, hahaha."

Tan Lanfang smiled happily.

She is different from Qin Ya, she really has no shortage of meat and food.

Naturally, I didn't expect too much from these things.

"Just wait and see."

The two of them carried the basket back and met many villagers along the way. Because it was near noon, everyone was busy doing farm work.

Seeing them two "weirds" carrying this pile of rubbish, pointing and laughing with the people around them, mocking them.

Tan Lanfang was so angry that she wanted to argue with that person.

Qin Ya knew the virtues of the people in the village, so she stopped her from arguing with them.

"We went back quickly, and Xin'er got up too. I won't be able to find me later, so I'm going to be anxious again."

What Qin Ya said was naturally an excuse. Last night, before Xin'er went to bed, she told Xin'er about going out this morning.

Xin'er also knows.

The reason why she said this to Tan Lanfang was because she knew that she loved Xin'er, and there was no need to waste time for these people.
