Zhao Guohua was already covered in wounds, and he had been carrying manure for the entire morning. He was so tired that his waist was about to break, and he was starving. In order to have a meal, he said nothing and quickly went into the house to get some food.
He sat down and was about to eat when he was stopped again, "The grain you paid is not enough. You didn't work, and this meal was not prepared for you. If you want to eat, cook it yourself."
Zhao Guohua wanted to get angry, but he had already experienced Li Xiyue's power and now he had no courage to do anything. He suppressed his anger and took out the money from his pocket, "Is it okay if I pay for it?"
Huang Xinrui glanced at the dime and remained unmoved.
She doesn't need this little money, so who cares?
Wang Jiaxing was curious. He took the money and said with a smile, "You eat mine, and I'll make another one."
Huang Xinrui was about to say something but was stopped by Li Xiyue.
Wang Jiaxing's conditions were not good and he needed money. It just so happened that Zhao Guohua, the sucker, was willing to give him money to buy food. They were both willing to fight and suffer, so there was no need to interfere too much.
Huang Xinrui pouted and said, "From today on, we'll work in groups and take turns. Yueyue and I will be in one group, and Wang Zhiqing, you and him will be in one group."
When talking about Zhao Guohua, disgust was evident in his eyes.
"For you two female comrades, it would be difficult to do heavy work like fetching water and collecting firewood. How about a man and a woman team up?" Wang Jiaxing suggested.
Huang Xinrui refused, "Yueyue and I don't want to be in the same group with him. We can do it."
It’s not far to fetch water, the well is right in the yard, you just have to make a few more trips.
Li Xiyue also felt that she was not inferior to male comrades. She was stronger than ordinary people, and fetching water and picking up firewood were a piece of cake for her.
She also often went up the mountain to collect herbs and pick up some firewood at the same time.
"Okay, I'll help you more when I have time." Wang Jiaxing didn't insist.
He remembered that Li Xiyue was able to lift Zhao Guohua up with one hand. For her, fetching water and collecting firewood were not considered heavy work.
It's strange that a girl who looks weak can have so much strength.
Li Xiyue added, "We each wash our own clothes, and take turns doing the other chores."
Wang Jiaxing agreed, "You guys do it today, Zhao Zhiqing and I will do it tomorrow."
Zhao Guohua had no objection, nor did he dare to have one. He ate voraciously and had never felt that eating was such a happy thing.
His family was well-off and he had never been hungry or suffered any hardship. But now that he went to the countryside, he not only suffered beatings and hardships but also hunger. Life was too difficult.
After a quick lunch, they each took a nap. Because they were going to Xu Dashan's house for dinner in the evening, Li Xiyue put a bag of brown sugar in her backpack and went out to work.
In the afternoon, Li Xiyue went up the mountain to collect herbs again. Xu Xiangyang did not come, and Xu Guoqing went to the river with Hu Zi to catch fish. Uncle Xu Liu had to watch the cows and could not leave, so she went up the mountain alone.
Li Xiyue decided to take Xiaobai to the mountains.
After going up the mountain, Xiaobai said that there was no one around, so Li Xiyue took Xiaobai into the space and teleported into the deep mountains.
The deep mountains are densely wooded, wet and cold, and from time to time there are the calls of unknown birds and strange whimpering sounds, which are a bit creepy.
Fortunately, Xiaobai was there, so Li Xiyue was not afraid. "Xiaobai, help me explore the way."
Xiaobai barked twice and ran forward.
Li Xiyue could only understand Xiaobai's words, but not the language of other animals. She guessed that maybe there was some connection between Xiaobai and space, so she could understand Xiaobai's words.
Just like what is written in some fantasy novels, Xiaobai became a space spirit by chance.
But after being distracted for a while, Xiaobai came back and told her that there were good things ahead.
Li Xiyue followed Xiaobai forward and indeed found two ginseng plants, but they were two fifty-year-old ginseng plants.
The year is short, so it needs to be planted in space, otherwise the medicinal effect will not be enough.
Continuing forward, I found blood ginseng, also known as Panax notoginseng. After picking some, I moved the rest into the space.
Next, Xiaobai took her to a stone mountain covered with moss, and there were several reddish-brown Dendrobium officinale plants in the cracks of the rocks.
Li Xiyue left two plants for the backpack and took up space for the rest.
After wandering around in the mountains for half a day, I picked some common medicinal herbs such as motherwort, white shouwu, astragalus, and polygonatum.
Several more ginseng plants were found on another hill. Li Xiyue dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng and put it in the backpack, and moved the others into the space.
Some wild fruits were also found, such as raspberries, blackberries, pomegranates and cape gooseberries.
There are also wild cherries, wild grapes, goat milk fruits, mulberries, and mountain thorns.
But none of them are mature yet, so they are all moved into the space.
Xiaobai walked in front and Li Xiyue followed behind, and they could always find good things.
Walking through the mountains and forests was quite tiring. Li Xiyue was a little tired. She drank some spiritual spring water and fed Xiaobai some before continuing to walk with Xiaobai.
When they came to a small stream, Xiaobai lay down in the stream and found there were fish in it, and they started barking.
Li Xiyue didn't expect that there were fish in the mountains, and they were stream groupers, which are known as the best freshwater fish. They mainly grow in cold water in mountain streams, have very high requirements for water quality, and feed on moss, plankton and aquatic insects.
Although they are not large in size, they are brightly colored and beautiful, and were once raised as ornamental fish in modern times.
This fish is delicious and nutritious whether fried or cooked in soup.
Li Xiyue collected the fish and raised them in the pond in the space, so that she would have endless fish to eat in the future.
In addition to fish, there were also mountain crabs, which were also collected.
"Woof woof woof."
Just as Li Xiyue was savoring the food, Xiaobai started barking again. She looked up and saw it squatting beside an old tree stump, with its tail wagging.
This is Xiaobai's reaction when he finds something good.
Li Xiyue walked over and found several Ganoderma lucidum growing on the tree stump, all of them as big as bowls. She excitedly moved all the Ganoderma lucidum into the space.
This trip was really worthwhile. Not only did I find ginseng, stream grouper, and Ganoderma lucidum, I had a great harvest.
They were going to Xu Dashan's house for dinner in the evening, but they might not be full, so Li Xiyue and Xiaobai cooked a meal in the kitchen of the space.
Once she entered the space, the fish would be automatically prepared as soon as she thought about it. She marinated the fish with cooking wine, salt, green onion and ginger.
I took some more flour and eggs and coated it.
Pour oil into the pan, sprinkle some cat salt, and when the oil is 70% hot, put the fish coated with flour and eggs into it, fry until both sides are golden brown, and then take it out.
I cut some meat, added cabbage, and made a cabbage and lean meat soup.
Xiaobai did a great job today, so he was rewarded and given a big bone boiled in water.
A bowl of steamed rice and the crispy and tender grouper tasted so delicious.
Drinking a bowl of meat soup after a meal is so refreshing!
