Chapter 26 Regret
Author: Liu Qingqing
Until now, no one else has joined their fish-catching operation, which shows that Huazhi trusts him the most in his heart, so he must do everything Huazhi tells him and must not let Huazhi down.
Huazhi opened the lid of the steaming pot and saw a large pot of braised snake meat inside. Huazhi was not very afraid of snakes, otherwise she would not have been able to catch snakes and bring them back to supplement nutrition for everyone. She put the lid back on the pot and put the
After changing the fire on the stove to low, I started cooking the taro in the pot next to it.
Xiao Nan's family doesn't have much food, and the mother and daughter have just left home and have no food, so they can only eat taro. But this taro is also a good thing. In the previous life, taro sold for seven yuan a piece in the vegetable market.
It's a pound, but the ones sold are artificially grown and very big, weighing half a pound or almost a pound.
What they eat now is wild food, but the wild food is smaller and tastes very good.
It takes at least 20 to 30 minutes to cook the taro before it is fully cooked. It is quite wasteful to wait in the kitchen for such a long time, so Huazhi added another bowl of hot water to the braised snake meat and went out with the empty basket.
.
Now the two families together have a total of eight people, and the demand for taro is also quite large. Plus Huazhi also wants to try to see if the taro can be sold.
Although you can get three or four yuan a day from selling fish now, you can get as little as ninety yuan a month, and you can get as much as one hundred and twenty yuan. This is just an ideal situation!
Are fish that easy to catch?
What should I do if I can’t catch fish after summer?
So we still have to think of another way.
Hua Zhi walked to the river and saw Hua Rui washing clothes pitifully by the river. There were piles of clothes on the beach next to her. Hua Zhi raised her lips and sneered. Isn't he a foolish filial piety? Isn't he only in his heart?
Don’t parents and brothers have wives and children? Then serve his parents and brothers well!
With such partial parents, a fourth brother who cheats and cheats, and two eldest nephews who can't do anything, who should be a cow or a horse if he is not a cow or a horse?
Huazhi originally wanted to be filial to her parents, but her father chose the Laohua family, so there was nothing she could do. Anyway, she would not let the Laohua family take advantage of her anymore. After severing the relationship, she only needed to
Just be filial to your mother.
Huazhi didn't want to meet Hua Laosan head-on, so she turned around and left. Now that Hua Laosan was at the river, she couldn't dig taro, so she would go to the field to pick up big snails.
At this time, no one knows how to cook, and there are not so many seasonings, so the snails have such a muddy smell. But she has decades more life experience than others, how could she not know how to cook snails?
How delicious is it?
It was already evening when Huazhi came back from Principal Chang's house. Now that so much time has passed, the sky has naturally darkened, but she can still see.
There was no one in the field at this time, so it was convenient for picking snails from flower branches.
When she came to the paddy field, Huazhi walked along the field ridge first. She picked up the snails on the edge first, because there were also many snails on the edge of the paddy field. In some places, several of them stayed together. One field ridge was not finished yet. Huazhi
The backpack is full.
Seeing that there were so many snails in the paddy field, Huazhi sighed with regret. These were all money. She remembered that in her previous life, a serving of spicy snails at the night market near the school cost fifteen yuan, and
Braised crayfish costs 35 yuan a portion.
Who would have thought that something inconspicuous at this time would be so valuable decades later!
Huazhi doesn't have anything to collect these things and save them for decades before exchanging them for money. She can only watch the money flying away from her eyes. Isn't this a pity?
Seeing Huazhi coming back with a basket of snails on her back, Huayu hurried over and took the basket, "Sister, why did you pick up so many snails?"
Huazhi rolled her eyes at him, "What do you think I'm doing? Are you bored? Of course I pick it up and eat it. Is it possible that I can eat pheasants and fish every day?"
Huazhi came to the well, brought up a bucket of well water, poured it into the wooden basin, and said to Huayu, "Pour the snails into the basin, wash them briefly a few times, and then bring up a bucket of water to keep them."
Although Huazhi wants her family to live a good life, she will not spoil her two younger brothers in a patriarchal way. When boys grow up and marry a wife, they will easily be affected by their wife's pillow talk. When the time comes, the younger brother will
He is no longer a younger brother, but a rival competing for interests.
So when the younger brother was young, he could do whatever he had to do. What's more, he was already a fifteen-year-old boy. So what if he was asked to do something? Didn't he need to spend a penny of her sister's money to get a wife in the future?
If his brother is really powerful enough to marry a wife on his own, then it will be easier for her as a sister.
However, Hua Yu looked incompetent, otherwise it would not have been possible for Hua Feng and Hua Yue to be bullied by the two cousins of the fourth uncle's family. In addition, the family disappeared one after another in the previous life. He, the eldest son, is also very responsible.
Even if Hua Zhi got married and was not at home in his previous life, Hua Yu is the eldest among the boys, so he should shoulder the responsibility of the eldest son, but he failed to do so, so Hua Zhi doesn't expect anything from him now, as long as he doesn't drag him down
Just don't hold her back, otherwise she really won't be able to take care of such a big family by herself.
"Hua Yu, starting from tomorrow, you will go out and pick up two baskets of snails every day. In the morning, everyone will carry one basket before work, and in the evening, everyone will carry one basket after work." Huazhi said.
"Sister, what do you want with so many snails?" Hua Yu asked in confusion.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just pick it up if you are asked to do so. Why? I, the eldest sister, am so useless?" Hua Zhi glanced at Hua Yu helplessly. She had arranged so many things, and she was not planning for the drought in the future.
?
There won't be a drop of rain for a year and a half! Although you won't starve to death here due to the mountain, the life will be hard, and the whole village depends on this mountain. There are enough leaves for everyone to grab.
?
The snail meat can be stored for a longer period of time if it is dried. When the time comes, add water and boil it. The taste will be stronger than that of old leaves!
Moreover, snail meat can also be made into snail chili sauce, which is more delicious than dried snail meat.
Thinking of this, Hua Zhi said to Hua Feng and Hua Yue, "It's the same for you two. Starting from tomorrow, you will go out with Hua Yu to pick up snails, and pick up big snails. If you want to have a full meal, you have to listen to me.
Do you understand the arrangement?"
Hua Feng and Hua Yue were younger and more obedient than Hua Yu. Whatever Hua Zhi asked them to do, they just agreed without anyone asking anything.
