Chapter 58 Exchange



It seems like the names given to the kids here are very random.

Even Goudan was called by someone.

But then I think about the so-called lowly people in the countryside who are easy to support, and it seems understandable.

"Okay, put the bucket here and I'll see how much I should pay."

Several children obediently placed the bucket outside Su Qingxue's house and looked at her expectantly.

With four pairs of eyes staring at her, Su Qingxue still felt very pressured.

I don't know how much the stuff in this bucket costs per pound.

There was half a bucket in each bucket, so Su Qingxue simply gave them one dollar each.

"I'll exchange one dollar for the contents of your bucket. Do you think it's a good deal? If you think it's a good deal, then I'll take it."

The kids never thought that these things could be exchanged for a dollar, and they didn't care what Sister Su said at this time.

They just kept nodding their heads hurriedly, and I was really worried that they would get dizzy.

"Sister Su, I'll give it to you. I'll give it all to you. Sister Su, you can't regret it."

He looked as if he was afraid that Su Qingxue would regret it.

When Su Qingxue saw their expressions, she knew that they would never regret it, so she didn't say anything more.

He took out a large wooden basin and poured all the loaches, eels and snails in the bucket into the basin.

I emptied their buckets and went back to get four dollars and handed them to them.

After getting the money, the children ran out excitedly with their buckets.

Su Qingxue opened her mouth and originally wanted to tell them that if there was any, they could continue to send it over tomorrow.

But she didn't know they were so impatient and ran away without waiting for her to speak.

He shook his head, took out another bucket, and prepared to pick out all the snails inside.

I didn't expect the snails here to be so big. They are much bigger than those in the south.

Fortunately, as long as it is not poisonous, there is nothing that cannot be eaten in front of Su Qingxue.

What's more, these snails are edible at first glance. Some poor families in the village will pick them up and eat them. Since no bad people have eaten them for so long, there must be no problem.

While I was picking, I heard the horn signaling the end of work.

Thinking that there were too many loaches and eels in the basin, I simply put half of them into the space.

As for the snails, I plan to raise them a little longer and let them spit out the sand.

All the snails were picked out and taken directly to the backyard.

Take out a big basin, wash them once, pour the dirty water into the vegetable garden, wash them twice, then pour water again, add a little oil and salt, and you can eat them after one or two days.

Suddenly, a loud "Ah" was heard from outside. Su Qingxue thought something had happened and quickly ran out from the backyard.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened?"

Other educated youth also ran over and looked at the frightened Feng Xue.

Feng Xue was so scared that she almost cried. She pointed at the things in the basin with trembling fingers, "Snakes, there are so many snakes here!"

The others looked in the direction of her finger and fell silent.

Although they do look like snakes at first, if you look carefully for two or three seconds, you will find that they are different from snakes.

Wang Xiaomei and Du Keqing, who were also frightened at the side, have now calmed down.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxue. We were mistaken just now. That wasn't a snake. It was the yellow eel in the ditch. Don't worry, they don't bite."

Su Qingxue was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to scare others suddenly.

"I'm so sorry to scare you. I'll put it in the backyard right away."

The female educated youth may not like this thing, but the male educated youth will definitely like it.

At this time, looking at the large basin full of loaches and eels, everyone asked Su Qingxue, "Su Zhiqing, you have so many here, you probably can't finish them in a short time, can I exchange some with you?"

"Yes, I want to exchange some too. Although these things are not valuable, we simply don't have time to get them. Besides, we have never gotten these things before, and we can't even find their caves here."

I can only exchange with the children in the village occasionally.

But there is always a clear dividing line, and it is difficult to change it twice a year.

Su Qingxue didn't expect that they were interested in this. Anyway, they couldn't eat much in one meal, and she was going to ask those kids to exchange it, so she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, don't talk about whether to exchange or not, just go and catch a few each."

The loach is a little bit smaller, but the yellow eel is really big, three of them are enough to make a large plate of stir-fry.

Except for Zhao Xiangyang, the other six male educated youth each took three things away. However, they did not take Su Qingxue's things in vain, and soon each of them brought back some more things.

There were a bunch of dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, and even biscuits brought by the new educated youth.

If they gave it to her, Su Qingxue would not be polite and say no. She felt that this kind of give-and-take feeling was quite good.

Don't talk about any other feelings, it's good just like this.

The three female educated youth who lived in the front had already gone back. Su Qingxue asked Wang Xiaomei and the others who lived in the same row, "Do you want to try it?"

The three people shook their heads very quickly, and Feng Xue even rolled his eyes and ran into the house quickly.

Maybe he just got scared and had a trauma.

There were about 20 pounds left, and Su Qingxue also separated the eels and loaches.

Su Qingxue plans to dry the loaches into dried loaches and stir-fry them with chili peppers. They will be absolutely delicious and satisfying.

As for the eels, I don’t plan to keep them forever. I will just clean them up and put them in the space. I can take them out when I want to eat them.

I took the basin directly to the backyard, poured a little more water into it, and planned to deal with them after dinner.

Today Su Qingxue planned to stew mixed fish. She felt that it would taste good if she added more seasoning and stewed everything together.

And this way of eating requires the least cooking skills.

There is still plenty of rice, so you don’t need to prepare dinner, just stew the fish in a pot.

It’s a pity that there is not much rice left at home.

I have been eating white rice during this period. I didn’t buy much rice to begin with. After these two meals, I will eat white flour and cornmeal.

Su Qingxue simply forgot about the food she had taken from Xia Yaoyao's house, and she didn't know when she would remember it.

Suddenly I thought of a video I had seen. There was a pot of fish stewing in it, and some cornmeal cakes were stuck to the edge of the pot.

I heard it's delicious, so I suddenly wanted to try it.

Action speaks louder than thought, so I took out the cornmeal directly, mixed it well, and started to light the fire and stew the fish.

Su Qingxue felt that the reason why it smelled so good was all thanks to the various seasonings in her space, and it was definitely not because of a significant improvement in her craftsmanship. Although she had improved a little, it was not to this extent.
