Chapter 281 Preparation

After all, he was busy with work during this period and Hua Xiali was busy outside, so the two of them didn't spend much time together. Now it is natural for them to resume their previous frequency of married life.

Hua Xiali still remembers that during the rainy season in her previous life, the rice field in front of her house was flooded with water, and then many fish appeared in it. She used the spiritual spring water to catch the fish.

My own restaurant is about to open, and the demand for fish will naturally be very great, so I can take this opportunity to catch more fish and raise them at home.

Although they had already collected a lot of fish from the dried-up reservoir, where could they catch more fish when they ran out? It seemed that no one here specialized in fish farming in this era. After all, people here seldom ate fish, and they had not yet awakened their fish-eating cells!

Even if some people eat fish, they catch them in the wild. After all, in this day and age, where there is water, there are fish. Now that the water in the rice fields has risen, there are more fish, so naturally they have to take this opportunity to catch more, otherwise the fish will run away when the water level recedes.

Hua Xiali put on high rain boots, took a basket and a wooden bucket, and went down to the rice field. The rice field belonged to her, so she didn't care about other people's opinions. It didn't matter even if she stepped on a few seedlings, because she had the spiritual spring water that could help her family increase the rice yield.

Arriving at the middle of the rice field and making sure that no one could see what she was doing, Hua Xiali tilted the wooden barrel to let the water flow into it. Then the water in the rice field merged with the spiritual spring water that had been prepared long ago. When it was full, it overflowed and mixed with the water in the rice field.

After a while, all kinds of fish were seen swam towards this side. Hua Xiali didn't hesitate and scooped them up with a basket. Looking at the various fish jumping in the basket, a bright smile bloomed on Hua Xiali's face.

Everyone dislikes the countryside, but that’s because they don’t know how good the countryside is. Look at this fish, how fresh it is, and it’s all wild.

Where can city dwellers go to eat these delicious gifts from nature?

Hua Xiali poured the fish in the basket into the wooden barrel, and then continued to scoop them up. No matter the size or type, she didn't mind, because she could do it anyway.

She can even cook soft-shelled turtle.

Because when she was a nanny in her previous life, she would go to the market to buy the dishes her employer wanted to eat, and then she would watch the stall owners prepare them and then ask them for cooking methods. In order to do business, the stall owners were naturally happy to teach her, so Hua Xiali can cook many dishes.

Soon a wooden bucket of fish was caught, but there were still many in the rice fields, so Hua Xiali quickly went ashore, brought the fish in the wooden bucket back home, and then went back to the rice fields to continue catching fish.

Fortunately, there are many large water tanks in the warehouse in the town, which can hold a lot of fish. However, large water tanks cannot be stacked layer by layer, so we still have to buy the kind of fish tanks used in fish ponds. A large glass tank can hold a lot of fish. Before the restaurant opens, we really need to prepare a few more such large fish tanks in the kitchen.

When Hua Xiali caught the last few fish, he saw that there were not many coming, so he carried the heavy wooden barrel to the shore and went home.

I have used the big water tanks and wooden basins to raise fish. Tomorrow morning, Zhang Jun and I will deliver the fish to the warehouse in town. Otherwise, there won’t be enough space at home to store them.

Hua Xiali scooped up the fish with a basket and poured them directly into the wooden barrel without checking the species, so she also caught a lot of snails. Thinking of how she had handed over the snail and small water snail business to her fourth uncle's family in her previous life, Hua Xiali picked out the snails and placed them separately in a wooden basin.

After a few days when I have collected more, I will teach my uncle and aunt, so that they can make more money while the snails are easy to pick in the summer.

Her third and fourth uncles' families were quite good to her family, so she was happy to repay them. Moreover, she also hoped that her cousins ​​would live a wealthy life for generations.

Even if you are not that rich, you can still live a comfortable life.

In the evening, Hua Xiali stewed the only two turtles into turtle soup, kept two-thirds for the family, and took the remaining one-third to the back for himself and Huo Beixi to eat together.

She wanted to take Huo Beixi to slowly taste all the delicacies in the world and didn't want to leave any regrets in his short life.

After that, Hua Xiali went to the rice fields in front every day to catch fish in the same way. This not only caught fish, but also fertilized everyone's rice fields, which greatly increased the rice yield.

She catches fish in her own rice fields during the day and in other people's rice fields at night. Although this can help increase other people's rice production, the effect is not visible for the time being. Others are afraid that she will step on the seedlings and will definitely scold her.

So when she went to the rice fields to catch fish at night, she would squat on the edge of the field and never go into other people's rice fields.

Then the next morning, I went back in time with Zhang Jun to deliver the fish to the warehouse in the town for storage, and just kept some seafood at home for our own consumption.

In the past, there were no seasonings and we didn’t know how to cook it. Now, we have enough seasonings to make halogenated fish at home, but we just don’t know how to cook it. We can just throw the fish into the halogen pot and make halogenated fish, which is also very delicious. So we often eat fish at home now.

Purely natural and wild fish are indeed delicious, otherwise people in later generations would not be so eager to catch them. People who know how to fish go out to fish in wild ponds, while people who don’t know how to fish can only buy them, and they may not even be able to buy wild fish!

There are bamboo fungi and morels on the mountain in this season, but it rains every few days, so my fourth uncle and his wife can't even pick the bamboo shoots. Hua Xiali naturally can't pick bamboo fungi and morels, so he can only miss such delicacies this year and wait until next year.

She took advantage of the abundant rain to collect more fish.

Hua Xiali would also put the pre-packed fish into the Lingquan space when Hua Qingmei came to the warehouse on Saturday night. Hua Qingmei had long accepted her fate and would come to see Hua Xiali every Saturday night regardless of wind or rain.

In fact, she had parents, but they loved to play and didn't love her. They were out eating, drinking and having fun and didn't want to take care of her or give her tuition. So she dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school. The main reason was that the tuition was too expensive. Living expenses were one or two thousand a month. Later, she wandered around in society and did odd jobs. She didn't know anything, didn't have much ability, and couldn't earn much money. She could only barely make enough to avoid starving to death.

Sometimes, just to make a living, you have to commit yourself to others.

She could see that this 'Hua Xiali' who came from nowhere was definitely more powerful than her. She wanted to live a good life, so she didn't dare to fight with 'Hua Xiali'. She also knew that she couldn't win. Even if she could, both sides would suffer. She hadn't lived a good life yet, and she was unwilling to give up her current good life.

Although the original male protagonist Jian Nan does not love her, she does not love Jian Nan either. But Jian Nan is a person from the 1990s after all, he is relatively simple and honest, and does not have so many cunning tricks.
