The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 192 Going up the mountain to catch shrimps

"You bastards, I raised all of you, and now you think the food I cook is not tasty!"

Old Mrs. Zhou was 'roaring' at the kitchen door.

They smiled and explained, "Grandma, we don't dislike you. We even think the food you cook is delicious. It's just that we imagined the food in the county town to be too good..."

Mrs. Zhou is definitely not angry, she is just pretending.

However, when she knew that her craftsmanship was recognized by her grandchildren, she still smiled happily.

Feng, who was cooking, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw her mother-in-law's energy.

An old house where a treasure.

That's exactly the case.

Her mother-in-law is really lovely.

After the children finished chatting, Zhou Mingshu got up and washed his face.

Only then did I discover that there were two stone mills not far from the well.

One big and one small, arranged in a very irregular manner.

"Grandma, you bought a mill!"

"Yes, you saw it clearly."

"Hahaha, that's really great."

Zhou Mingshu touched the millstone with her hand, and the matte texture gently tickled her fingertips. This was all real.

Moreover, you can see mung bean residue leaking out from the cracks in the stones, which means they have been used once.

"Uncle, we have a millstone now, so you don't have to push it back and forth. Tie the donkey up and let it do it from now on."

"Haha, okay, let's do this this afternoon."

Boss Zhou washed the cup and planned to have a drink with his brothers later.

"San Ya, there is one more thing I haven't told you. The porcelain vase was delivered yesterday and is now in your room."

"Oh, okay, I'll go check it out later."

Since she came home, she hasn't had time to check the room.

She picked up her bag from the stool and went back to the room, only then did she see the filtered mugwort oil on the table.

Oh my God, she was just away from home for one day and all this was done. Her sister is so capable!

It’s going so fast that it’s almost time to bottle it.

It looks like they will be able to bottle all the ointments by this afternoon.

Zhou Mingshu put the paper packages together with the previous ones, intending to show the seeds to Old Mrs. Zhou after dinner.

There was a pot of wine on the table, which was bought by Zhou Mingshu in the county town. He asked his uncle to taste the wine and compare it with the one in the town to see which one tasted better.

For lunch, I made eggplant paste, which was similar to the winter melon paste I made last time and was also very delicious.

Everyone took a bowl and ate it noisily.

Only Zhou Lao Da and his two brothers were eating peanuts from a plate to eat with their wine.

"Uncle, what do you think of this wine? If it doesn't taste good, I'll make it for you. I can make wine with wheat, and it won't make you drunk."

"Hahaha, it's delicious, but if you want to brew it, you can brew some after the government collects the taxes. Let us taste what this non-intoxicating wine tastes like."

"OK."

After lunch, Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters, together with their aunt Feng, went to the room to bottle the mugwort paste.

It took four people more than an hour to complete the installation.

"You steamed quite a lot of mugwort paste this time. This must have filled more than a thousand bottles."

The whole room was almost full, it was truly breathtaking.

"Haha, we have a big pot at home, so I picked some more leaves."

"The mint leaves at the village entrance have grown again?"

I was plucked out by them last time, but I can still hold up the quantity this time.

"Just like you said, they grow fast."

"Yeah, let's take a rest first, and then we'll go catch some shrimps. If we can catch more, we'll have something delicious to eat in the evening."

Zhou Mingshu said excitedly.

"Okay, I would like to try the braised shrimp you made, haha."

They were all afraid of the river shrimps that would burst out of water if squeezed.

After finishing these tasks, Feng didn't stay long. She went back to her room with her arms around her stomach and rested for a while.

The sun was still very strong at this time. Zhou Mingshu washed his feet and ran to the main room to sleep.

My room is filled with porcelain vases and I can no longer sleep.

At about four o'clock, Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters took buckets and went up the mountain.

I want to catch some river shrimps and also some crabs.

The river shrimps in the mountains are bigger, so they chose to go to the mountains.

These river shrimps are not easy to catch. They are too smart. Even if you aim at them and try to catch them quickly and accurately, they still have a chance to slip through your fingers.

And their large pincers may even pinch you.

Gee...

What a mistake! They should have brought a dustpan.

"Saya, what should we do? We can't catch him at all!"

Zhou Mingqi was already a little discouraged.

"It's okay, you guys go catch some crabs first, I'll go home and get some tools."

Zhou Mingshu has already walked towards home.

There is a dustpan and a sieve at home, she can take them over. In addition, she can buy some bait from the system, so she won't have to worry about not being able to catch the fish.

She was almost exhausted from running back and forth.

"I brought it here. Each of you gets one. This is bait."

Zhou Mingshu sat down on a stone, holding his waist and gasping for breath due to exhaustion.

"You still have time to mix the bait. I admire you."

After Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi got the tools, they started catching shrimps. Compared with before, this time it was much smoother.

At least it was captured.

The bodies of these river shrimps are almost integrated with the river bottom. You can't see them clearly without careful observation. They all rely on their large light blue claws to find their way around.

"You guys should catch more, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

"Got it, just sit back and wait for Qing."

The two of them were sticking their butts out in the river to catch shrimps, and Zhou Mingshu couldn't just sit there and wait.

Scoop up a handful of water and splash it on your face to cool yourself down.

There were enough crabs in the bucket; they didn't need to catch any more.

But seeing how slowly they were catching shrimps, they wouldn't be able to catch enough to eat by dark, so it would be impossible to eat a big meal.

Zhou Mingshu had no choice but to buy some shrimps from the system and put them in buckets, then went into the water to catch shrimps with them.

She just thought of a way, which is to splash water on the shore, so that the shrimps will be stranded on the shore, making them easier to catch.

She is such a clever little girl.

She did it right away. She came to a place farther away from the two of them, found the target, and splashed it onto the shore. This method was very effective.

In a short while, more than a dozen were caught. If there was enough time, even without using any tools, I could catch half a bucket by staying here for a morning or an afternoon.

When the time was almost up, they gathered the shrimps they had caught together and found that they had caught at least half a bucket.

Of course, the bucket also includes river water.

"Come on, let's go home. It's getting late."

The three sisters went back home and started cleaning the crabs and river shrimps.

Because they had eaten crabs several times before, they were quite familiar with how to clean them.

So these river shrimps were given to Zhou Mingshu.
