Since the money had a justifiable reason, Huo Shichu no longer felt wronged. The daily meals were very good, with both meat and vegetables. In addition, she was willing to put in seasonings, so the taste was very good. Wei Qi always liked it. Very flattering.
He is a big eater and eats twice as much as Huo Shichu. When Huo Shichu first learned about his true appetite, he was shocked for a moment. He realized that he had eaten about the same amount as him before, probably because he had never eaten before. Are you full?
After knowing that Huo Shichu had "digged" money, he let go of his belly. However, after eating so many things, his complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his cheeks were no longer so thin and sunken, but had become fuller. His face is surprisingly good-looking, with deep eyebrows and clear contours.
When Huo Shichu saw his appearance, he became more willing to serve him. At least taking care of a good-looking person makes people feel much better than taking care of an ugly person, right?
"I went to the river to catch some fish and came back. I didn't buy any meat today. I can't just eat vegetables. You need to eat well to recuperate." Huo Shichu said righteously, holding a small bucket.
Wei Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Take the bamboo basket I made. It will be easier to catch fish with it."
Huo Shichu did not refuse and took the bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was very good. I didn't expect Wei Dalang to have this skill, but I thought that he had been away for many years, maybe he learned it from his comrades?
Huo Shichu arrived at the small river outside the village soon after it got hot. The river was two to three meters wide and not too deep. Women in the village would come here to wash their clothes. In summer, children and even men would come here to take a bath, so Nothing dangerous.
"Xiao Huo, why are you bringing a bucket and a bamboo basket?" An aunt saw Huo Shichu and asked doubtfully. She didn't see that Huo Shichu had brought clothes, so he definitely wasn't here to wash clothes, but If you come to carry water, you won't need a bamboo basket.
"I want to come to the river to catch some fish and bring them back to replenish Dalang's body." Huo Shichu said with a smile.
"Come here to catch fish? Are there any fish here? Those kids come here to play in the water all day long. If there were any fish, they would have caught them long ago!" The aunt reminded her, "Why don't you go upstream? , or go to the lower reaches of the river where there are less people, and if you are lucky, you may be able to catch one or two hairy fish."
"Okay, I'll go ahead and catch it." Of course Huo Shichu knew this and kept going up the river.
Other children in the village liked to join in the fun. When they saw Huo Shichu saying that he was going to catch fish, they also came. However, because Huo Shichu had just arrived in the village not long ago and was angry, they were embarrassed to talk to Huo Shichu, so they were not far away. Followed.
Huo Shichu let them go and found a place with a lot of water plants by the river, and then went down to the river with a bamboo basket. She put the bamboo basket on the river, then stepped on the water plants with her feet, and hid it in the water plants. The fish and shrimps are driven out, and the bamboo basket is waiting for them to "fall into the trap".
After a while, Huo Shichu picked up the bamboo basket. As soon as it came out of the water, she was splashed with water.
"I really caught a fish!" A childish boy shouted excitedly.
Huo Shichu took a look and saw that it was indeed the fish and shrimps in her bamboo basket that were jumping around. She quickly went to the shore and poured the few small fish that were jumping around alive into the bucket.
Several children immediately gathered around and chirped: "So fish are so easy to catch? My dad has caught them before, but he didn't catch one for a long time!"
"This one is so big!"
"you are great……"
Huo Shichu couldn't help but smile after hearing the words of these little brats and said, "I am great because I am fast and have sharp eyes."
It is really easy to get familiar with children. You just need to play with them. In their opinion, catching fish is a very interesting game. They saw that Huo Shichu caught several fish so quickly. Tiao, thinking that he also had this ability, was immediately ready to take action and wanted to get into the water.
Huo Shichu quickly stopped them and said, "Hey! You can't go into the water. You haven't come here very often and you don't even know how deep the water is. It's very dangerous!"
"Then why did you get off?" A little boy who reacted quickly said unconvinced.
"I am an adult. I am tall and have long legs. The water that is very deep for you cannot cover my thighs. It will be dangerous for you if you get in, but I will be safe if I get in." Huo Shichu said decisively.
After all, she was able to stop these daring kids.
After that, Huo Shichu was like God's help. Every time he fished, he could fish out something, whether it was fish or shrimp, and he never failed. Huo Shichu even doubted himself. Could he be a koi in this world? Otherwise, how could the fish be caught so smoothly? It was as if these fish and shrimps jumped into their own bamboo basket automatically.
But she quickly rejected this idea. After all, if she were a koi, she should really be able to dig out gold and silver by digging in the soil, find ginseng by going up the mountain, and fish out pearls by going down the river...
But she didn't have any! I just had better luck this time and caught a lot of fish.
Seeing that the small bucket had rotated more than half of the way, Huo Shichu ended the fish-catching operation with satisfaction. However, a group of little kids had gone from being surprised at the beginning to being indifferent now. They felt that she had caught the fish. It's normal, it's abnormal if you can't get it.
"Sister Huo, you really know how to catch fish! My mother can't. She couldn't even catch the fish in her own fish pond. Last time, she was thrown into the fish pond by the fish and she was all wet." One missing person The little girl with the front teeth mumbled.
"Zhou Xiaoya, how can your mother compare with Sister Huo? Sister Huo is so amazing." Another little boy of seven or eight years old said, "Even my dad has never caught so many fish. Sister Huo is the best in all." The best in the village!"
"There's no need to praise me so much..." Huo Shichu blushed a little. The title of the best fish catcher in the village was too disappointing.
She felt guilty after being praised by each of these little brats for eating rainbow farts. She quickly gave each of them a fish two or three fingers wide and asked them to take it home to eat before sending them all away.
The little kids didn't expect this surprise, and they were all jumping up and down with joy. They all wanted to recognize Huo Shichu as their boss. Huo Shichu quickly refused, saying that she was not qualified for such an important position and asked them to retake it. choose one.
After finally getting rid of the little brat, Huo Shichu hurriedly carried the fish home.
The children came home with the fish and praised Huo Shichu for how good he was and how good he was at catching fish. So the women who got the benefits immediately had a much better impression of Huo Shichu and thought she was a generous person. , several children shared a fish each. Who in this village could be so generous?
You must know that it is not easy to eat meat these days. Some people have not seen meat for months. Although the fish Huo Shichu sent was not big, it was still meat to a certain extent. If it was boiled with tofu or vegetables, everyone in the family could drink it. The last bowl was delicious, and everyone was extremely grateful to Huo Shichu.
