Chapter 24 They Deserve It
After that, he came to a flat place and took out the fish and shrimp net from the system warehouse. Wen Xi was shocked when he saw the whole net full of white fish.
She never expected that two earthworms could catch so many fish, and she never expected the fish to be so big.
Maybe it's because no one comes here to catch fish. The thin and long small silver carp here is as long as chopsticks. The small minnow is as big as a person's palm. The stream grouper looks like mandarin fish. It's really exaggerated. But now they are all hers.
Once she gets in touch with her parents, she will dry some salted fish and send it back home to add a dish to their table.
She quickly took out a bucket from the system warehouse, went to the river to fetch water, and then caught the fish one by one and put them into the bucket. One bucket could not hold so many fish, so Wenxi put the other fish directly into the system warehouse. Then she put two big earthworms into the fish and shrimp net and put the fish and shrimp net back to its original place.
The heroine Lin Yiwan traveled through time from the 21st century and doesn't know how to catch fish to eat. There must be bigger and tastier fish in her space, so she looks down on the wild fish in the wild, thinking that these small fish have too many bones. But for Wenxi, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, not to mention that these fish are not small, each weighing several taels.
This river is too small, so there shouldn't be any big fish weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms. There should be such big fish in the big river behind the village that is used to irrigate crops, but the fishing gear she signed out is too advanced and is not suitable for fishing at all.
She can only catch these small fish in this deserted place on the mountain, but the fish grown in this stream taste more delicious, so she doesn't mind.
It was still early and it was not appropriate to go back, so Wenxi walked upstream along the river in the valley. There was no road along the river, so it was difficult to walk, so he could only climb over rocks and walk upstream.
After walking for about an hour, Wenxi saw a waterfall. It was not a big waterfall, just a small waterfall. When you looked up, you could see the waterfall like a piece of white cloth hanging on the hillside.
At this time, the whole sky and earth were filled with sunlight. The sunlight fell from the sky like dazzling golden lines. The sunlight sprinkled on the waterfall, which was very dazzling, but Wenxi was very satisfied. This place was far away from the village, and no one would think of coming here. So from now on, this would be her secret base.
However, when it was time to go to work, she didn't have time to come over. After all, it took her three hours to walk here, which means six hours in total.
But today she was searching as she walked, so it took her a lot of time. If she walked faster and had a clear destination, she could probably walk the round trip in three or four hours!
When she officially started working after the New Year, she had to apply to Captain Qian to go and cut grass for pigs. Although the work points for cutting grass for pigs were not high, she did not rely on work points to make a living.
She remembered that the female educated youth who came after her applied to cut grass for pigs. Why could they do it but she couldn't?
Anyway, just apply and give it a try when the time comes!
When Wen Xi signed in before, she not only signed out for a fish and shrimp net, but also a casting net and a ground trap. However, casting a net is a strenuous job, and she had never done it before and didn't know how to do it. Not wanting to waste time here, she directly took out the long ground trap, put two big earthworms in it, threw the ground trap into the river, and tied the other end of the rope to a small tree next to it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Xi headed back. If he went back at this time, he should be able to make it in time for dinner, right?
However, Wenxi did not take out all five pounds of pork belly. Instead, he took out two strips, weighing two pounds, and hid them under the wild vegetables in the basket, otherwise it would have a bad impact if others saw them.
As for the fish, she put them directly in the system warehouse and didn't take any out. She had to eat warm-house meals at night, and she was afraid of being seen by Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua.
After all, everything in this era is collective. If everyone doesn't catch fish to eat, can't she catch fish to eat? In this era, the supply of materials is insufficient, so of course you have to find a way yourself.
Living at the foot of the last row of mountains in the village is convenient. Wenxi came down from the mountain and walked directly into the alley between the two houses, and then came back. No one saw him at all.
Seeing Wenxi coming back, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue hurried over to greet him. Shen Jiaojiao said distressedly, "Xiaoxi, why don't you take the ox cart back? It would take about three or four hours just to walk back and forth, right?"
It was more than just three or four hours. She walked on the mountain for nearly five or six hours!
She went out at five or six in the morning, when it was still dark, and now it is already after lunch, which shows how long it took to go to the mountain.
"Xiaoxi, you've worked hard. Let us take care of the rest!" Jiang Yue took the basket from Wenxi very consciously. "Xiaoxi, how many dishes do you plan to cook tonight?"
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "I bought two pounds of pork belly, so we'll make a dish of braised pork and potatoes, and save a piece of meat to make soup with shredded radish, and stir-fry hot and sour Chinese cabbage, vinegar-fried potato shreds, scrambled eggs with leeks, and three more dishes of wild vegetables. Make the portions larger, that's enough. You just wash and cut the vegetables and put them there, and I'll make dinner."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Okay, then go and take a rest. You've worked hard queuing up to buy meat so early in the morning."
The supply of meat was insufficient, and everyone had to rush to the meat stall early to queue up to buy meat, otherwise they might not even be able to buy the worst meat. Wenxi must have put in a lot of effort to be able to buy such good meat.
Wen Xi poured herself a cup of hot tea, then went back to her room, locked the door, and sat on the edge of the bed to drink tea.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, so Wen Xi got up and opened it. Seeing that it was Shen Jiaojiao, he asked, "Jiaojiao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Jin Changfeng came to look for you this morning, but left when he saw you were not at home." Shen Jiaojiao walked over and sat down next to Wen Xi.
They have been friends for so many years and have even slept in the same bed, so Wen Xi naturally wouldn't mind her sitting on the edge of the bed.
Wenxi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"The team held a meeting this morning. Captain Qian told everyone what happened in the village last night. He cleared our names for you and us, and announced the team's punishment for Nie Xiulan, Xu Huaying, Liang Zhaodi, and Chu Waner. You were not there, so you didn't see their faces. They were as black as the bottom of a pot that had been used for decades." Shen Jiaojiao felt very happy. "We just arrived and haven't settled down yet, but they started to plot against us. They deserve this result."
