Outside the door, Yu Qingshu, dressed in a blue gown and new cotton shoes made for him by Hua Qinglu, walked in happily, holding something that he was struggling with.
Before anyone could see it, the sound came into the kitchen.
Soon, a round thing that looked like a turtle came into everyone's sight.
Yu Qingqing exclaimed after seeing this: "Dad, did you catch these in the pond? You actually caught two at once.
This is a good thing, but you have to be careful, its bite is very painful. It is perfect for making soup and nourishing grandpa and grandma.
It's really great that there is such a thing." The thing in front of Yu Qingqing was exactly what was called "turtle".
It’s no wonder that Yu Qingshu doesn’t recognize this thing. Many people here don’t usually eat animals from the river, so it’s normal that they don’t recognize it.
Soft-shelled turtle is a very good thing. It is perfect for making soup to nourish the body.
Yu Qingqing took a large wooden barrel, filled it half with water, and then put the turtle in it.
After hearing his daughter's words, Yu Qingshu thought to himself, "That was a close call." He was so close to being bitten, but luckily he was smart enough.
Yu Qingshu also secretly gave himself a "Yeah!" in his heart.
After preparing himself mentally, Yu Qingshu suddenly realized and said, "This thing is so good, I'm glad I brought it back.
I think there's still some left in the pond. I'll catch some more later to feed my father-in-law and mother-in-law. If I catch more, we can all eat it."
Yu Qingshu felt that he was really smart. He could use the free things to please his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
This time, Yu Qingshu brought back six fish, each weighing about four or five pounds, and looked very plump.
The agreement with the shopkeeper Jiang was to deliver 30 kilograms of fish every day and sell them at 10 cents per kilogram.
The amount of fish Yu Qingshu caught this time was barely enough.
For prawns, the price remains the same, and we only need to deliver 80 kilograms per day.
This time, Yu Qingshu only caught a bucket and a half of prawns, and with the prawns that Yu Qingqing had taken out in advance, it was barely enough.
After Yu Qingshu had packed up all the things that needed to be delivered to the restaurant, he went to the new house to greet the workers.
In the kitchen, Yu Qingqing had already cooked the noodles.
With everyone's joint efforts, a hundred steamed buns were made and steamed one after another.
All the steamed buns had just been steamed when Yu Qinghai came back from outside, exhausted.
Because they went there early, the dew was heavy and Yu Qinghai's trouser legs were soaked.
But this did not affect his joy, as he had gained a lot from this trip. Yu Qinghai smiled cheerfully, showing off his big white teeth.
"Mom, sister, look, this time we have a pretty good harvest. There are actually five big fat rabbits and three pheasants. And they look like they died not long ago, so they are quite fresh."
Yu Qinghai's shoulders were full of prey, and there were many beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that these wild game had made him very tired.
Hua Qinglu smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded continuously.
She took a few wild rabbits, touched their fur and said happily: "That's great, now there are more people at home.
We won't sell these prey. We can eat the meat, but we can save the fur. I'll make a pair of boots for each of you when winter comes."
Hua Qinglu felt the soft rabbit fur on his hands and felt warm in his heart.
"Haha, that's great! I'll be sorry to trouble you then, because you'll have boots to wear later!" Yu Qinghai put the hare and pheasant in a backpack and saved them for later processing after dinner.
Soon the steamed buns in the kitchen were also steamed. Yu Qingqing picked up a few large basins and estimated that each person had two steamed buns, which they could eat this morning.
The steamed buns give off a wheat aroma that makes people look forward to it.
The food this morning was relatively light, which is very good for the stomach.
A big pot of dumpling soup, a few bowls of steamed buns and a few bowls of stir-fried vegetables made Hua Manhong and his friends very satisfied. It had been a long time since they had eaten such delicious food.
They never expected that after fleeing the famine, they could still eat meat and white rice at their daughter and son-in-law's house. This was something the family would never dare to do in their dreams.
Soon the food on the table was cleared out and eaten cleanly.
Delicious and memorable.
At this time, the workers who were building the house were already working. They started work early because the sun was bright and they could rest early.
After lunch, they were allowed to rest for an hour before returning to work. Yu Qingshu and his family were not the kind of people who would exploit others.
Because today was also the first day of business, Yu Qingshu borrowed an ox cart from the village chief, which was just enough for him to rush to the town.
Yu Qinghai loaded everything onto the oxcart, including prawns, fish, braised large intestines, and braised meat. It took up most of the space, so the others had to sit close together.
Hua Qinglu felt a little relieved, after all, his two daughters were going with him.
However, Yu Qingqing still did some disguise this time when she went out. She used a special thing to cover both her and Yu Qingmei's faces.
She painted her fair skin to look yellow, and wore clothes that looked like men's clothes. You couldn't tell unless you looked closely.
Hua Qinglu held Yu Qingmei's soft hands and said earnestly, "Xiaomei, go to town with your sister and brother, but don't run around. You must listen to your brother. Your mother is worried about you two sisters."
Hua Qinglu was also a little uneasy, but he could only give a few more words of advice.
Yu Qingmei touched her yellow-painted face and said mischievously: "Don't worry, Mom. Look at how I'm dressed. There will be no problem.
Besides, my sister and I are dressed like this, so others can’t tell unless they look closely.”
Yu Qingmei didn't care. Her sister and brother were so smart that they would be able to overcome the danger even if something really happened.
After looking at the two people's current attire, Hua Qinglu finally felt relieved. He gave Yu Qinghai a few words of advice and then said nothing else.
"Gee!" Yu Qinghai drove the ox cart and slowly walked towards the village entrance. With the ox cart, they could get to the town much faster.
We met many people along the way, all of whom were curious about the things on the Qinghai ox cart. From a distance, we could sense a fragrance, but no one was sure what it was.
There were two skinny young men on the ox cart, but to others they seemed a little strange.
Yu Qingqing felt the gazes of others, but she didn't care too much. It was best if no one recognized her.
