However, I didn't pick up many duck eggs, but I met many children from the team in the shallow water.

Yi Qingqing did some calculations and found out that today was also the day when the elementary school in the team was on holiday.

The older ones carried thin sticks, and the younger ones held something wrapped in leaves.

The leader was Aunt Guihua’s eldest grandson, whose nickname was Hu Wa.

Because they had shared candy before, they would shout, "Sister Qingqing!" when they saw her.

"Hey!" Yi Qingqing agreed, "Where are you going?"

These things don't look like they're for picking duck eggs.

"Let's go fishing for shrimps," Tiger Boy said with a smile, "Sister Qingqing, are you going to pick up duck eggs? We picked them up yesterday, haha!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

She said why the harvest today was not as much as last time!

"What kind of shrimp are you fishing for?" Yi Qingqing asked curiously.

"Lobster," said Tiger Wa.

Yi Qingqing: “!”

Yi Qingqing suddenly remembered that if there was anyone who knew everything about the edible wild animals around Xiangshui Village, it would definitely be this group of kids.

Although she really wanted to eat crayfish, eating crayfish was not yet popular in that era. If she prepared this to eat and others knew about it, especially Li Mengxue, she would probably become suspicious.

But lobster is not allowed, but other things are okay!

She got excited and teased them jokingly, "I was wondering why we didn't find any duck eggs!"

The children all laughed out loud and were very proud.

"Anyway, I can't pick up the duck eggs. What does this lobster look like? I haven't seen it yet! Take me one." Yi Qingqing said as she took out a plate of mint candy from her pocket, but in fact, from her personal space, and broke it into small pieces. "Here, pay for taking me out. One piece per person, okay?"

"Okay, of course. I'll make the decision. All the lobsters today are yours!" Tiger Boy was very much like his grandmother. He patted his chest and said, "You guys have no objection, right?"

"Hmm~" The little ones, speechless with candies in their mouths, nodded repeatedly.

Section 80

Not to mention a day, a month is fine. Lobsters are not tasty and have no meat!

So a big doll followed a group of little dolls.

Hu Wa had a strong sense of business ethics. He said he wanted to take her out to play, and immediately arranged for his younger brother to get her a small thin stick.

"This is your fishing rod. I'll give you a piece of line later," said Tiger Boy.

Following Hu Wa and the others, I ran to a shallow puddle.

The children squatted in a row, surrounding the small puddle.

Zhao Xiaoya held the contents of the leaf package in her hand in front of her, "Sister Qingqing, use my little earthworm!"

Yi Qingqing was almost frightened to death when she saw the bag of things that were still squirming.

It is normal to use earthworms to catch crayfish, but I was a little scared when it was suddenly held in front of me.

Yi Qingqing took a deep breath, feeling that she couldn't lose face in front of the child, and forced herself to calm down, "Okay, okay."

"Haha, Sister Qingqing is afraid of earthworms!" A child laughed so hard that his nose was covered with snot bubbles.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

Do you know that if you don’t know how to give face to girls at such a young age, you may not be able to find a girlfriend in the future?

"Sister Qingqing, let me help you make the bait," Zhao Xiaoya said as she put down the leaves, picked up a fat earthworm and crushed it into two halves with a stone. She wrapped one half around the line tied to Yi Qingqing's thin wooden stick, and then rubbed her little hands on the reeds.

This candy is worth it, the service is great.

"Thank you, Xiaoya, you are so awesome!" Yi Qingqing praised.

Zhao Xiaoya just laughed.

Under the guidance of the children, Yi Qingqing dropped the thread tied with the earthworm into the puddle.

After a while, the stick in his hand felt heavy.

"I got it, I got it, pick it up quickly!" Hu Wa reminded.

Yi Qingqing pulled it up and found two black and red lobsters hanging at the end of the line, both of them were quite big.

"I caught one too," the kid next to him said happily, and challenged Yi Qingqing: "Sister Qingqing, let's have a lobster fight! If you lose, your head will be smashed, and if you die, you can roast it and eat it!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

So this is how they play with lobsters.

"Come if you want, who's afraid of who?"

Her crayfish are bigger, okay?

“Go, go, go!”

"Bite it, bite it!"

"Go, go quickly!"

…

"Ah!" Yi Qingqing covered her forehead, "No more, no more!"

Why is her lobster so weak!

"Hahaha!" The children burst into laughter.

Although Yi Qingqing lost a few games and her forehead was a little red from being hit, these little bastards didn't hold back at all!

Too cruel.

But she was still quite happy, feeling like she was making up for her missed childhood.

These children may not have a rich material life. The land in Xiangshui Village is relatively fertile, so they may not have enough to eat, but their spiritual life is quite rich. The surrounding mountains and rivers are their playgrounds, and they also have pure happiness that children in later generations cannot experience.

During the following lobster grilling activity, Yi Qingqing just watched the whole process but did not participate.

They said it was roasted and eaten, but most likely it was just played with.

Yi Qingqing felt itchy after seeing this and wanted to cook a spicy crayfish for these kids who were so arrogant because they won against her, but she held back in order to avoid being exposed.

"Do you fish for anything else besides lobsters?" Yi Qingqing asked. She wanted to find out if she had missed anything else.

After all, the cooking methods of many dishes are universal.

"We sometimes catch loaches, but loaches are bitter and not tasty, but they have a lot of meat!"

“There are big frogs in the summer!”

"And there are cicada monkeys, they are delicious!"

She declined the cicada monkey, and Yi Qingqing confirmed with them that the big frog should be the bullfrog, but it was no longer available at this time and would have to wait until next year.

Loach is fine.

"I can make loaches. Would you like to catch some and exchange them with me for candy?" Yi Qingqing had successfully infiltrated the children's group and spoke her mind.

After she said this, the children all looked at her blankly.

"Sister Qingqing, can't you finish all the candies at home? Usually, few people eat loaches." Zhao Xiaoya said.

After all this time, I think she's a fool.

However, their first reaction was not to take advantage of her immediately, but to think she was stupid, which shows that they are all good kids!

But Yi Qingqing still wanted to testify for herself: "Loaches are delicious, but you have to be willing to put in some ingredients and avoid the bitter gallbladder. If you don't believe me, come to me next time you catch them. You provide the loaches and I'll cook them. I'm not stupid, how can I let you take advantage of me for nothing? In my eyes, it's a good deal to exchange sugar for your help in catching loaches. This is a fair trade!"

This was the truth. Although she wanted to eat something new, she didn't want to catch loaches herself, and she couldn't catch one even if she wanted to.

Just like this little puddle, who would have thought there were crayfish in it? She also didn't know where to catch loaches.

As for what is edible in the mountains, she would have known nothing otherwise, thanks to Mr. Li who taught her in the hunting skills teaching mode.

There is indeed a gap between reality and fiction. When others travel through time, they know everything, can farm, and recognize all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits. But when it comes to her, she has to learn everything.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have any fishing skills, otherwise the fish in the river wouldn’t be so lonely.

So, if you can't do it yourself, you have to find someone who can. Some candy (money) should be left to others to earn.

For example, these clever little local bullies in front of us.

The little ones were frightened by her.

Fair trade? They may not have read much, but they have eaten a lot of roasted loaches. Don't cheat them.

Tiger Boy understood and decided: "We will catch it once and give it to you. You can try it yourself. If you think it tastes good, we will exchange it so that you won't regret it."

Yi Qingqing: "..."

This is still not believing what she said about loach being delicious! She is quite professional and knows to give her a taste first.

Well, she still needs to research the method anyway.

When she is done, she will make them cry with envy! Tomorrow, at the latest, she will make these children bow down to her in admiration!

"Let's make a pinky promise first!" Tiger Boy said cautiously, "We'll go catch it later. Tell us tomorrow whether you want to switch or not. It doesn't matter if you don't want to switch. We'll still play with you, but you have to give us candy!"

Yi Qingqing really wanted to discuss with Aunt Guihua how her family raised children. Her eldest grandson really impressed her, an old aunt whose soul age was 20 years old.

This boy really deserves to be the leader among children. He is so smart!

He even knew to give her a favor first and then bargain with her!

"I understand, I understand," Yi Qingqing said helplessly.

I always feel like I'm being outdone by kids.

Forget it. Considering their friendship of fishing lobsters together, she didn't bother with it and continued talking about business.

"Can you get anything edible? For example, wild fruits like cloudberries. Every time I see them in the mountains, they are all picked," Yi Qingqing said half-truthfully.

It is true that all the minerals outside the back mountain have been mined, but there are still some inside.

But she mainly didn't know if she had missed out on anything good. Ever since she had eaten cloudberries, she had tried all kinds of wild fruits.

"Haha, the yellow raspberry trees near the back mountain, as well as other fruit-bearing trees, we know exactly when they will bear fruit. By the time you go up the mountain, we will have already picked them," said Hu Wa proudly.

Yi Qingqing asked them because she knew: "If you have anything else that's rare, you can bring it to me. If it's okay, we can exchange it. Even if there's no sugar, I can make something else delicious. You know my character, right?"

"I know, I know. My grandma always said that Sister Qingqing is a generous person and she won't take advantage of others!"

"My mom said that Sister Qingqing knows what she wants and is a straightforward person!"

"My grandma said that among the educated youth, Sister Qingqing is the best at dealing with people. You are both capable and generous. It's no wonder that I can help you."

"I like Sister Qingqing the most, sweets are so good!"

…

Yi Qingqing was very upset as she listened to the children talking about her at the same time.

What is this? Although I can tell that her reputation is good and they are all compliments to her, what is the purpose? Is it to repay a favor?

What is it to have hands? Is there anyone without hands?

Yi Qingqing sighed, "Study hard!"

Otherwise you will end up losing limbs just by learning a few words.

As the leader of the children, Hu Wa has a strong sense of responsibility. While his friends were racking their brains to praise Yi Qingqing, he was still thinking about finding benefits for his little followers.

"How about some wild chestnuts? They will be ripe in less than a month. But we like them very much too. I can't give you too much. I have to exchange them for candy, fruit candy."

Yi Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard that, "Okay!"

Chestnut, she likes it too!

"Brother Huzi, why only a little? How can chestnuts be as good as candy?" A kid didn't understand and exposed his brother Huzi's shortcomings on the spot.

Tiger Boy lowered his voice and gathered with his brothers: "Do you understand? This is called bargaining. If you speak more prudently, you can get a good price. My grandma told me this. Do you want to eat more candy? If you want, you have to listen to me!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

She really wanted to go over and ask Hu Wa if his grandmother had told him that whispering at such a close distance could be heard!

Besides, there was really no need to do this. I had already said that Yi Qingqing was not a stingy person, but she would not suffer any loss either. How could she still suffer any loss from them for those few candies? She still had some dignity!

"We are going to catch loaches. Do you want to join us?" Tiger Boy turned around after the meeting and looked at her and said, slurping his saliva as he spoke, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Section 81

Yi Qingqing said angrily: "No! I'm not a sucker, don't think it's so easy to earn my candy!"

"Aren't you childish?" Tiger Boy said with disdain.

"Sister Qingqing is like a little child!" Zhao Xiaoya clapped her hands and laughed.

Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint, and Qingqing kept muttering to herself in her heart.

"Okay, let's say goodbye here. Don't go to deep water and be careful!" Yi Qingqing warned.

Hu Wa brought his little brother and said without even turning his head: "Don't worry, I brought them out here, and I must be able to send them back smoothly."

After the Goudan incident, all the children in the team were warned by their parents not to go to the river or into deep water.

Tiger Boy is like a little adult and still knows how powerful he is.
