"Oh my goodness!"
Something went wrong!
This was Xi Tian's first time putting things into the space, and she wasn't very skilled at it yet.
She concentrated her energy again and brought the two old sows back.
The sows, who had no idea how they had time-traveled: "......"
Everything in the space was cultivated by the agricultural base.
There were vegetables, poultry, livestock, as well as many medicinal herbs and other miscellaneous items.
Xi Tian would never be able to use up all these supplies in her lifetime.
She returned the big yellow bull and the remaining six sika deer to the hillside...
The pigsty was instantly empty.
Just then, Wang Suzhen came over to feed the pigs. She poured leftover dishes and soup into the trough. The weather was hot, and the smell was a bit unpleasant.
But the two pigs ate heartily, burying their heads and devouring the food.
"Huh? Sweetie, where are your cow and deer?" Wang Suzhen leaned on the fence, peering into the pigsty.
Xi Tian smiled and said, "I've released them..."
"Released them?" Wang Suzhen was struck by lightning.
"Why did you release them when they were fine?"
Her lips trembled with excitement, "Where did you release them? Can you tell your sister-in-law?"
If you didn't want them, you could have given them to me. Releasing them was such a waste.
You know, it's really difficult to hunt a deer in the mountains...
Fu Daqiang had dug a pit trap in Tuofeng Mountain and waited for more than half a year to catch a wild boar.
Those things were smart, and sometimes they could see through human traps at a glance.
Xi Tian pursed her lips and pointed to the sky, "I released them into the sky!"
"Huh?" Wang Suzhen was dumbfounded.
Had this child's fever made her go crazy...
If cows and deer could go to the sky, she could also go to the moon.
Alas, forget it, forget it. Those deer weren't hers anyway.
Why should she argue with a five-year-old child?
"Here, put on your headscarf!" Wang Suzhen took out a red headscarf from her arms and tied it on Xi Tian.
"It's so hot outside. Don't get heatstroke when you go out to play. It's really uncomfortable..."
A few days ago, Fu Xiaoqiang had suffered from heatstroke, vomiting and diarrhea, and had lost a lot of weight.
Xi Tian touched the headscarf and raised her small head, "Thank you, Sister Suzhen!"
"Go play!" Wang Suzhen helped her wipe the sleep from the corners of her eyes and then went to the backyard to feed the chickens.
Xi Tian ran to the village entrance and went to Gougou Lake with her mother and second sister-in-law.
Here, villagers from Dashui Village specialized in fishing, and people from other villages came to buy fish and transport them back to sell to the local residents...
The loaches were sold out, so Gu Shi bought a few crucian carp.
When they got back, they would stew the crucian carp with tofu, and then make a few flatbreads or steam some steamed buns and flower rolls, and dinner would be settled.
"Mother, why are you buying crucian carp?" Liu Cuirong was unhappy.
"That thing is full of bones. My gums bled last time, and Xiao Bao doesn't like to eat it either. Why don't you just buy two big carp?"
This mother-in-law was too stingy.
She was pregnant now, and she wouldn't even buy her a carp...
Gu Shi glared at her, "Our family has many people, and they are all big eaters. What's the point of buying two carp?"
Mainly, carp were more expensive than crucian carp, and they were heavier. She didn't have many copper coins on her when she went out today.
"But there are those divine shrimp! Why don't you buy two catties!"
Liu Cuirong pointed at the red divine shrimp in the fish basket, her mouth watering uncontrollably...
Divine shrimp were actually crayfish, but in the area of Heyang County, people called them divine shrimp.
Crayfish at this season were fat and large. If they were steamed a pot of them, Liu Cuirong could eat two catties herself.
Gu Shi snorted, "This thing is even heavier, it's not suitable!"
Besides, there was only meat on the tail, and the rest was just an empty shell. It was even more prickly than crucian carp...
Liu Cuirong pouted her lips high and sat down next to the fish basket, "I don't care. You're not buying this, and you're not buying that, you just want to save more silver for your sister-in-law's dowry!"
"Your sister-in-law is your daughter, but I am also your daughter-in-law, Mother. You can't be too biased."
After speaking, she asked the fisherman, "Do you still have crabs? How much per catty?"
The fisherman, wearing a large straw hat and with his pant legs rolled up, leaned against the tent and smoked his pipe. "There aren't many left. If you want to buy them, it'll be twenty copper coins..."
As he spoke, he took out another bamboo basket from the tent. It contained fifteen or sixteen river crabs, which were not small in size.
Twenty copper coins for these river crabs was already quite a good deal.
"Mother, I want to eat this!" Liu Cuirong pointed at the fish basket and smacked her lips.
Gu Shi sighed and reached out to pinch her purse...
It wasn't enough.
"Mother, if you don't have money, I'll buy it myself!" Liu Cuirong got up, untied her purse, and picked out a piece of silver.
"I want those divine shrimp too, and buy two big carp, pick the big ones!"
This silver was all given to her by Lu Shi.
Liu Cuirong went to the county town every few days and asked her mother and Cui Jin for pocket money...
Today, she was going to treat the whole family to seafood.
No, river delicacies!
Xi Tian glanced at her mother and then at her second sister-in-law, and remained silent.
It seemed that the family was still not well-off.
But she couldn't take things out without restraint and make the family rich overnight!~
Oh well, she felt that things were pretty good right now...
No one was starving, her parents, brothers, nephews, and sisters-in-law were all healthy, which was better than anything.
"What kind of fish is that? It's really big!" Liu Cuirong pointed at a large fish in the water bucket, her face full of joy.
The fisherman said, "That's a bighead carp. Do you want it?"
This fish had a slightly mealy texture, and the key was whether the cooking method was right.
"Yes, yes, hang it up!" Liu Cuirong untied her purse again.
In ancient times, there were no plastic bags. Fish were bought by hanging them from their mouths with ropes. Crayfish and river crabs were put in baskets to prevent them from escaping...
"Second daughter-in-law, why are you buying so much? It'll go bad if you can't finish it!" Gu Shi stopped her.
"It's okay, Mother. If you're afraid it'll go bad, just salt it and dry it into dried fish."
Liu Cuirong was in high spirits. Today, she would be generous and let the whole family have a good meal.
On the way back, Gu Shi dug up some wild chives, and when they got back, they would be fried with eggs, which was very appetizing...
Fu Daqiang's house.
Zhao Guihua's stomach was a bit uncomfortable, so she lay on the kang for a while.
Before Yun Laotou left, he asked Huaihua and Xi'er to go to the field to pull some grass and pick two gourds.
Zhao Guihua had fallen asleep just now and had forgotten to mention this.
"Huaihua, Xi'er, you two go to the field!" Zhao Guihua covered her stomach and put on her shoes to get off the kang.
"Take the hoe and the basket, and don't forget to pick two gourds!"
Hu Xi'er's expression brightened upon hearing this.
She had been wanting to go out, and now the opportunity had come.
"I can go by myself, Huaihua's sister-in-law doesn't need to come with me..." Hu Xi'er said with a smile.
Zhao Guihua didn't think much of it and reminded her, "Okay, then go quickly and come back quickly. Gourds don't spoil easily, so they need to be stewed in advance!"
"Mmm, mmm!"
Hu Xi'er smoothed her braided pigtails, went to the kitchen to wash her face, and went out happily...
