Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 99 Picked up a turtle

Zhang Weiguo carried the turtle back to the courtyard.

The aunt in the yard saw Zhang Weiguo carrying the turtle.

"Weiguo, where did you buy this turtle?"

"I didn't buy it. I found it on the road."

"What?"

"Picked it up on the road?"

When people heard that it was picked up on the road, they didn't believe it at first.

How is it possible to pick up a turtle on the road?

The first one was Jia Zhang, whom he didn’t believe at all.

"Zhang Weiguo, give me the one you picked up, and go pick up another one."

When the other aunties heard this, they all rolled their eyes. In this day and age, if you could get a turtle, everyone would keep it for themselves and eat it.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you are so shameless. Go pick it up yourself."

"Zhang Weiguo, where did you pick it up? Do you still have it?"

Zhang Weiguo told me where he picked it up.

As to whether there is or not, Zhang Weiguo is not sure.

Who knows if there is another one.

With so many fish coming down the pond, it’s possible that there will be a few more turtles.

After hearing what Zhang Weiguo said, the other aunts rushed out.

I should go and see if there are any more.

Jia Zhang followed behind, but she was too fat and could not outrun the others.

Other people didn't wait for her. What if she went too late and was picked up by someone else?

We saw a group of middle-aged women in the courtyard, moving together as a group, which was quite spectacular.

When we arrived at the place Zhang Weiguo mentioned, there was still a lot of stagnant water, forming a small pool.

They searched along the water, and surprisingly they found it.

The second aunt found a turtle, and the other aunts found a fish.

Even Jia Zhang found a fish.

A group of middle-aged women returned to the courtyard happily.

Soon the aroma of fish wafted through the courtyard.

Zhang Weiguo cooked a pot of soup with turtle and chicken.

These aunties told their families the location and that there were still fish there, but the water was too deep and they didn't dare to go down to catch them.

Hearing that there were fish, the uncle took his fishing rod and set off.

He is the only one in the whole courtyard who fishes, and his skills are limited, but he is slightly better than others.

He didn't believe that if a group of old women could catch fish, he wouldn't be able to catch any.

Sha Zhu, who had just returned, saw the third uncle hurried out with a fishing rod.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

"fishing."

“Where do you go fishing?”

The third uncle explained the matter.

When Sha Zhu heard that others had caught fish, he couldn't sit still anymore.

I went home, got a bucket, and followed the third uncle.

For this, I gave the third uncle two cents for the fare.

The third uncle's second-hand bicycle was carrying Shazhu.

That big guy named Shazhu, this car is of good quality.

The two men arrived at the place and the third uncle started fishing.

Sha Zhu rolled up his trouser legs and found a shallow puddle to dive into.

Sha Zhu is worthy of being a chef. He finds the location of the mud and touches it.

These places may be hiding turtles.

After an hour of hard work, the old man caught two fish and Sha Zhu caught a turtle.

Seeing Shazhu's turtle, the third uncle was envious.

Although his two fish were good, they were inferior to the turtle.

His two fish were worth a dollar.

The turtle is worth at least five dollars.

The angry uncle just rode away on his bicycle.

There is no silly pillar at all.

Sha Zhu could only walk back.

Everyone was stewing fish at home, and no one noticed that Sha Zhu came back carrying a turtle.

Sha Zhu stewed the turtle directly and gave the deaf old lady a bowl of turtle soup.

Sha Zhu is also good to the deaf old lady, and her love for Sha Zhu is not in vain.

Even though the old lady has bad teeth, she loves to eat meat.

Especially the braised pork.

I just want to show off a bowl by myself.

Sha Zhu returned home and had dinner with He Yushui.

Because of the holiday, He Yushui did not go to school these days.

I am very happy to eat turtle soup this time.

It is a rare thing to be able to have a meal of meat with Shazhu.

In the past, all the delicious food was taken away by the Jia family.

She had nothing to eat and could only eat some steamed corn bread.

Sometimes we can’t even have steamed corn bread to eat.

Fortunately, with the help of Zhang Weiguo, we were able to eat meat.

He Yushui also hid a lot of delicious food in her cupboard to prevent Sha Zhu from being sucked dry by the Jia family again.

Sha Zhu can no longer bring food from the cafeteria, and Qin Huairu is not as concerned about him anymore.

I won't do laundry anymore.

She didn't go to Shazhu's room either.

Shazhu still has some food left.

Today is another meat-eating day.

The refugees in the outer city of Sijiu no longer had to starve thanks to Zhang Weiguo's food.

The heavy rain during the past two days brought a lot of fish, and they found quite a few.

There were many of them, they went to many places, and they found many fish.

Although you can't eat fish, you can still cook some fish soup.

Fish soup is a rare delicacy for them.

They all wanted another rain of fish.

No need to worry about the house, no need to worry about the banker, and they are not afraid of the rain.

During the day, they went to the river to catch fish.

You can also pick up some shells.

Even a lot of small river shrimps can be caught.

This rain provided people with meat, allowing people who had not eaten meat for a long time to eat meat.

It would have been better if the house hadn't collapsed.

The notebook that Zhang Weiguo gave to his uncle was highly valued.

Henka Aijiu found two people who were good at the language of Juhua Country to translate it. After the translation, he finally understood the contents of the notes.
