After arriving at a flat area, Wenxi took the fish and shrimp net out of the system warehouse and was shocked to see a whole net full of fish, a sea of white.
She never expected that two earthworms could catch so many fish, let alone such big ones.
Perhaps because no one comes here to catch fish, the thin and long pufferfish are as long as chopsticks, and the small bitterlings are as big as a human hand. The stream rockfish looks like mandarin fish, it's really too exaggerated, but now it's all hers to enjoy.
Once she gets in touch with her parents, she plans to dry some salted fish and send it home to add a dish to their dinner table.
She quickly took out a bucket from the system warehouse, went to the river to fetch water, and then caught the fish one by one and put them in. One bucket couldn't hold so many fish, so Wenxi put the rest of the fish directly into the system warehouse. After that, she put two large earthworms into the fish and shrimp net and put the fish and shrimp net back in its original place.
The female protagonist, Lin Yiwan, is a time traveler from the 21st century. She doesn't even know how to catch fish to eat. It's probably because she has bigger and tastier fish in her space. That's why she looks down on these wild small fish in the wild, thinking that these small fish have too many bones. But for Wen Xi, even a fly is still meat, let alone these fish, which are not small. Each one weighs several ounces.
This river is too small, so there shouldn't be any fish weighing ten or twenty kilograms. There should be such big fish in the big river behind the village that is used to irrigate the crops, but the fishing gear she brought is too advanced and not suitable for fishing at all.
She could only catch these small fish in this deserted place on the mountain, but the fish that grew in the stream tasted even better, so she didn't mind.
It was still early, and it wasn't appropriate to go back, so Wenxi followed the river upstream along the mountain valley. There was no path along the river, and it was difficult to walk. He could only climb over rocks to make his way upstream.
After walking for about an hour, Wenxi saw a waterfall. It wasn't a big waterfall; it was a small one. Looking up, you could see that the waterfall looked like a white cloth hanging on the mountainside.
By this time, the entire world was bathed in sunlight. The sunlight poured down from the sky like dazzling golden threads. The sunlight shone on the waterfall, which was very dazzling, but Wenxi was very satisfied. This place was quite far from the village, and no one would think of coming here. So, from now on, this place would be her secret base all to herself.
However, when it was time to go to work, she didn't have time to come over. After all, it took her three hours to get here, and a round trip would take six hours.
But she was searching as she went today, so it took her a lot of time. If she had walked faster and had a clearer destination, she probably could have made a round trip in three or four hours!
When she officially started working after the New Year, she had to apply to Captain Qian to cut pig feed. Although the work points for cutting pig feed were not high, she didn't rely on work points to make a living.
She remembered that the female educated youth who came after her all applied to cut pig feed. Why could they do it, but she couldn't?
I'll just apply and give it a try when the time comes!
When Wenxi checked in earlier, she not only checked in for a fish and shrimp net, but also a casting net and a fish trap. However, casting a net is hard work, and she had never done it before and didn't know how. Not wanting to waste time here, she took out the long fish trap, put two large earthworms in it, threw the fish trap into the river, and tied the other end of the rope to a small tree next to her.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wenxi turned back. If she went back now, she should be able to make it in time for dinner, right?
However, Wenxi did not take out all five catties of pork belly. Instead, she took two strips, weighing two catties each, and hid them under the wild vegetables in the basket. Otherwise, it would have a bad influence if others saw them.
As for the fish, she simply stored them in the system warehouse and didn't take any out. She was also afraid that Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua would see them during the housewarming dinner that night.
After all, everything was collective in this era. If everyone else didn't catch fish to eat, why couldn't she? In this era of insufficient supplies, of course, one had to find their own way.
Living at the foot of the last row of mountains in the village is very convenient. Wenxi came down from the mountain, walked directly into the alley between the two houses, and came back without anyone seeing her.
Seeing Wen Xi return, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue hurriedly came to greet her. Shen Jiaojiao said with concern, "Xiao Xi, why didn't you take an oxcart back? It would take about three or four hours to walk back and forth, wouldn't it?"
It wasn't just three or four hours; she walked on the mountain for almost five or six hours!
She left home at five or six in the morning, when it was still dark, and now it's already past lunchtime, which shows how long it took her to get up the mountain.
"Xiaoxi, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to us!" Jiang Yue readily took the basket from Wenxi's hands. "Xiaoxi, how many dishes are you planning to cook tonight?"
Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "I bought two catties of pork belly, so we'll make a braised pork belly with potatoes, then save a piece of meat to make soup with shredded radish, stir-fry a spicy and sour cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried eggs with chives, and stir-fry three kinds of wild vegetables. Make the portions a bit larger, that should be enough. You can wash and chop the vegetables and put them there. I'll cook dinner."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Okay, then go and rest for a while. Thank you for your hard work, queuing up to buy meat so early in the morning."
Meat supply is already insufficient, so everyone has to rush to the meat stalls early in the morning to queue up to buy meat. Otherwise, you might not even be able to buy the worst meat. Wenxi must have put in a lot of effort to be able to buy such good meat.
Wenxi poured herself a cup of hot tea, then went back to her room, locked the door, and sat on the edge of the bed to drink it.
Suddenly hearing a knock on the door, Wen Xi got up and opened it. Seeing Shen Jiaojiao, she asked, "Jiaojiao, is there something you need?"
"Jin Changfeng came looking for you this morning, but left when he found you weren't home." Shen Jiaojiao walked over and sat down next to Wen Xi.
They've known each other for so many years, and have even slept in the same bed, so Wenxi naturally wouldn't mind her sitting on the edge of the bed.
Wen Xi nodded, not asking any more questions.
"The team had a meeting this morning. Captain Qian told everyone what happened in the village last night, cleared your name and our names, and announced the team's punishment for Nie Xiulan, Xu Huaying, Liang Zhaodi, and Chu Wan'er. You weren't there, so you didn't see their faces. They were as black as the bottom of a pot that's been used for decades." Shen Jiaojiao felt a sense of satisfaction. "We've only just arrived and haven't even settled in properly yet, and they've already started plotting against us. They deserve this result."
