Chapter 41 Planning for Him
Seeing that Xu Hexiao was still upset, Lin Qi untied the water grass around her waist. The other end of the water grass was still in the water. She pulled the water grass to the shore, and the thing under the water grass appeared in Xu Hexiao's sight.
Crash——
More than a dozen big fish were struggling violently underwater.
Xu Hexiao was stunned at first, then turned around and ran to get the bucket. He opened the lid of the bucket and hesitated when he saw the pool of water was red.
"No more water. Come and help me pull them up." Lin Qi said.
Xu Hexiao quickly put down the bucket and went over to help. A fish that big would have to have quite a strong force.
"Captain Song, Panglimu is dead."
"Two of the three accomplices died and one was controlled."
"Dr. Sun is fine. The blood in the water is from Panglimu. He was shot once and then twice by our people."
"Who fired that shot?"
As soon as this question came out, the people present looked at Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao who were struggling to pull the water plants. When they saw more than a dozen large fish weighing nearly 20 kilograms in the water, the police officers were stunned.
Are there so many big fish in this pond?
How did she catch it?
How can that slender-looking vine remain unbroken even when pulled so hard?
Captain Song and others had a lot of questions in their minds.
Lin Qi had a headache, as she seemed to have been too greedy.
There were too many fish to fill the bucket, and the water was stained with blood, so it was no use trying to keep the fish. It would be best if these fish were eaten within two or three days.
Eating more than 300 kilograms of fish in two or three days? It was really difficult for her and Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao guessed what was bothering her, "Fish can also be salted and then smoked."
Lin Qi's eyes lit up. "Yes, how could I forget this. But is smoked fish delicious? I've only eaten fresh fish."
"It's delicious. In addition to smoked fish, you can also make fish with fermented lees, which can also be stored for a period of time." Xu Hexiao said.
Lin Qi shook her head, "I don't want to waste wine."
She planned to sell all the wine.
"Then don't do it. Just smoke it. It's simple and convenient." Xu Hexiao said.
Seeing them discussing eating fish as if no one was around, Song Qing's forehead was filled with black lines. He took two steps to Xu Hexiao and asked, "Were you the one who just pounced on Panglimu?"
Xu Hexiao nodded.
"Well done, you helped us a lot." Song Qing patted Xu Hexiao on the shoulder. He didn't expect to see this black five category again a few days later, and the other party helped them a lot.
If something happens to Dr. Sun today, not only him, but also his superiors and even his superiors' superiors will be blamed. Their punishment is nothing, the most important thing is Dr. Sun's safety. There is only one Dr. Sun in the whole country! Dr. Sun's death is a great loss to the country.
"I didn't think so much at the time." Xu Hexiao said against his will. In fact, he thought a lot. He wanted to make merit, he wanted to change his situation, he wanted to walk on the road with Lin Qi openly and in everyone's sight. For his selfish reasons, he rushed forward with all his might.
"Young people are prone to impulsiveness, but it also shows your bravery. Not everyone has the courage to rush over, especially when the other party has a gun." Song Qing praised. He successfully saved the person under such circumstances, which shows that the boy's skills are good. It's a pity that he is a member of the "five black categories", otherwise he could have given him a place to join the army.
Xu Hexiao did not refute and accepted the other party's praise.
"Who fired that shot?" Song Qing asked again.
"It's me." Lin Qi raised her hand and took out the pistol from her waistband. "It's that guy's gun."
Song Qing took the gun with a complicated expression, and glanced at the girl's slender white waist. He frowned and said, "Where are your clothes? Put them on."
There are more than a dozen old men here, most of them are unmarried, and they are at the age of full vigor and vitality.
Before Lin Qi could say anything, Xu Hexiao took her clothes and blocked them in front of her.
"You have good skills in catching fish." Song Qing looked at the dozen big fish and asked his doubts, "You caught fish with your bare hands? How did you catch them?"
Xu Hexiao looked at Lin Qi who had already put on her clothes. He also wanted to know how she caught it.
"With my hands." Lin Qi said, afraid that they would continue to ask, she changed the subject, "We helped you a lot, is there a reward?"
Song Qing raised his eyebrows, "What reward do you want?"
"Give him a set of discarded military uniforms and a certificate of merit." Lin Qi said, and reminded, "Send it to the brigade, and let everyone in the brigade know."
These were not difficult for Song Qing, so he agreed and said, "I will have someone send his reward to the Anliang Brigade in a few days. What about yours?"
This girl cares so much about this group of the five black categories. Who are they?
"I don't need it. Just pretend you've never seen me." Lin Qi said.
"Why?" Song Qing was puzzled. He offered rewards to others but didn't want any for himself?
"I'm a fool in Anliang Brigade, an educated youth. My job is to cut grass for pigs. I don't want to be too busy." Lin Qi said honestly.
Song Qing's mouth twitched. These days, everyone is vying to be a model worker, but she said she wanted to be lazy without changing her expression! But since it was her request, he didn't refuse, "Okay."
"Captain Song, Dr. Sun has hypoglycemia." said a police officer.
Song Qing turned and walked towards Dr. Sun, "Does anyone have any food or candy?"
A dozen team members shook their heads. Who would remember to bring food with them when they suddenly received a mission? And they might not even have candy if they wanted to eat it.
Song Qing turned to look at Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi, "What about you guys?"
"There are egg cakes and meat buns." Lin Qi said. She bought more than 30 meat buns and two kilograms of egg cakes. She and Xu Hexiao ate 12 meat buns, leaving about 20. Neither of them ate the egg cakes, assuming that they were to be taken back to Xu Hexiao's grandfather.
The egg cake is soft and suitable for the elderly.
"I'll exchange this for some buns from you." Dr. Sun took out a pen from his coat pocket.
Lin Qi thought for two seconds, took the pen, and put the remaining twenty or so buns and about half a pound of egg cake into Dr. Sun's arms. "We're having fish tonight, so I'll give you all the buns."
"Thank you." Dr. Sun thanked him carefully, took a bun for himself, and gave the rest to Song Qing, "Let's eat together. You must be starving after running all the way."
Song Qing didn't hesitate and took one for himself, and let his teammates share the rest.
"It smells so good!" Song Qing praised, looking at Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao with increasing satisfaction, "You guys go, we need to clean up the place."
More than an hour later, Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao arrived at the cave. Before entering the cave, Xu Hexiao ran to the side and vomited.
Lin Qi was a little dumbfounded. He actually carried it all the way.
Xu Hexiao vomited, but Lin Qi ignored him. When she first saw a dead person in the apocalypse, she was two years old and didn't know what death meant, so she didn't react. Later, she found out, saw it more often, and got used to it.
She turned around and moved the stones at the entrance of the cave. After putting all the things into the cave, she took a knife and cut open the fish's belly.
It was getting late, so she had to process the fish as soon as possible.
When Xu Hexiao entered the cave, more than a dozen fish had already been cleaned up by Lin Qi.
"Take the fish's internal organs out of the cave and bury them with soil." Lin Qi ordered him.
Xu Hexiao's face turned pale, and he wanted to ask how could you be so calm after seeing a dead person. But considering that Lin Qi was stupid before, and probably didn't understand the concept of a dead person, he didn't ask.
After Xu Hexiao buried the fish's internal organs, Lin Qi also marinated the fish with salt and peppercorns.
"Marinate it for a day or two, and then smoke it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Lin Qi said as she closed the lids of the wooden barrel and clay jar and pressed them down with stones.
"I have to go to work tomorrow and come to help in the evening." Xu Hexiao said.
"No need. I can do it alone. I'll prepare the dinner and you can ask Grandpa Xu to steam the rice." She didn't have to cut grass for the pigs now and had time all day.
The two cooked dinner in the cave, which consisted of pan-fried fish fillets, stir-fried meat with black fungus, and a wild mushroom soup.
After they had their fill, they packed some food for Grandpa Xu, then carried their backpacks out of the cave and headed for the village.
Lin Qi's backpack was heavier, containing some things she bought in town and a fish weighing more than ten kilograms. Xu Hexiao's was lighter, containing only a clay pot, a kilogram of egg cake, and a few pairs of underwear.
Xu Hexiao wanted to help Lin Qi carry it, but Lin Qi refused, "I still have strength, you are more tired."
Xu Hexiao, who walked the same path and carried the same burden, said: "......"
Why is he so tired?
But my legs were shaking, while Lin Qi's steps were light.
It seems that he will not only need to eat more, but also exercise more in the future.
When Lin Qi returned to the educated youth site, everyone was having dinner.
"I haven't seen you for another day. Where have you been?" Jian Yitong asked her.
"In the mountains, looking for food." Lin Qi said.
She put down the backpack, took out some wild vegetables and a fish weighing about 15 or 16 jin. This was the smallest fish she had caught today.
But even the smallest one frightened Jian Yi and the others. The six of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered around the fish.
"Where are you from?" Jane asked.
"I caught it in the mountains or in a pond." Lin Qi carried the basket back to the room.
"Can we eat it?" This is the question that Mo Mingyang cares most about.
"Okay." Lin Qi said without turning her head.
So, dinner was delayed.
By the time Lin Qi had packed her things and finished taking a shower, the fish stewed in an enamel basin was served on the table.
After coming out of the mountains and taking a shower, Lin Qi felt hungry again.
It should be no problem to eat two more bowls of rice.
Lin Qi held the bowl and ate mixed grain rice, wild vegetables and fish stewed with sour beans. She ate slowly, which was in stark contrast to the others who wolfed down their food.
Afraid that she would not be full, Jian Tongyi took a bowl and filled it with fish and placed it in front of her.
"The team held a meeting today, and Tongyi and I went too. The autumn harvest starts the day after tomorrow, and both the old and the children have to go. In order for everyone to have no worries and race against time to devote themselves to the autumn harvest, the team plans to reopen the canteen. During the autumn harvest, three meals a day will be eaten in the canteen." Ming Kangjian said.
"Who cooks and what do we eat?" Zhao Yi asked.
"The brigade provides grain, and each family contributes vegetables based on the number of people. There are not many edible vegetables in our vegetable garden. Lin Qi, please pick more wild vegetables when you cut grass for the pigs." Ming Kangjian looked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi nodded. Whenever she cut grass for the pigs, she would usually bring back some wild vegetables.
"You cut grass for the pigs in the morning, and you have to go to the fields in the afternoon." Jian Tongyi reminded Lin Qi, "Go with the children to pick up rice ears, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc. You have to pick up anything left in the fields."
Lin Qi: “….”
