Chapter 256: Going to Town in Disguise
Yu Qingshu, wearing a blue gown and new cotton shoes made by Hua Qinglu, walked in happily, holding something in his hand that he was struggling with.
Before anyone could be seen, the sound came into the kitchen.
Soon, a round thing that looked like a turtle came into everyone's sight.
Yu Qingqing exclaimed after seeing this: "Dad, did you catch this in the pond? You caught two at once.
This is a good thing, but you have to be careful, it bites very painfully. It is just right to use it to make soup and nourish grandpa and grandma.
It’s really great that there is such a thing.” The thing in front of Yu Qingqing was exactly the thing called “turtle”.
It’s no wonder that Yu Qingshu doesn’t recognize this thing. Many people here don’t usually eat animals from the river, so it’s normal that they don’t recognize it.
Soft-shelled turtle is a very good thing. It is perfect for making soup to nourish the body.
Yu Qingqing took a large wooden barrel, filled it with half a barrel of water, and then put the turtle in it.
After hearing what his daughter said, Yu Qingshu said to himself, "That was a close call." He was really close to being bitten, but luckily he was smart enough.
Yu Qingshu also secretly gave himself a “Yeah!” in his heart.
After preparing himself mentally, Yu Qingshu suddenly realized and said, "This thing is so good, luckily I brought it back.
I think there are still some in the pond. I will catch some more to feed my father-in-law and mother-in-law. If I catch more, my whole family can eat them. "
Yu Qingshu felt that he was really smart. He could use the free things to please his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
This time, Yu Qingshu brought back six fish, each weighing about four or five pounds and looking very plump.
The agreement with Manager Jiang was that he would deliver 30 kilograms of fish every day and sell them at ten cents per kilogram.
The amount of fish Yu Qingshu caught this time was barely enough.
For large shrimps, the price remains the same, and we only need to deliver 80 kilograms per day.
This time, Yu Qingshu only caught one and a half buckets of prawns, and with the prawns that Yu Qingqing had taken out in advance, it was barely enough.
After Yu Qingshu packed up all the things that needed to be sent to the restaurant, he went to the new house to greet the workers.
In the kitchen, Yu Qingqing had already cooked the noodles.
With everyone's joint efforts, a hundred steamed buns were made and steamed one after another.
All the steamed buns had just been steamed when Yu Qinghai came back from outside, exhausted.
Because they went there early, the dew was heavy and Yu Qinghai's trouser legs were soaked.
But this did not affect his joy, as he had made great gains from this trip. Yu Qinghai smiled happily, showing his big white teeth:
"Mother, sister, look, this time the harvest is not bad. There are five big fat rabbits and three pheasants. And they look like they died not long ago, so they are relatively fresh."
Yu Qinghai's shoulders were full of prey, and there were many beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that these wild game had made him very tired.
Hua Qinglu smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded continuously.
She took a few wild rabbits, touched their fur and said happily: "That's great, now there are more people at home.
We won't sell these prey. We can eat their meat, but we can keep their furs. When winter comes, I'll make a pair of boots for each of you."
Hua Qinglu felt the soft rabbit fur on his hands and felt warm in his heart.
"Haha, that's great! Thank you for your hard work then, because you'll have boots to wear later!" Yu Qinghai put the hare and pheasant in a backpack and saved them for later processing after dinner.
Soon the steamed buns in the kitchen were ready. Yu Qingqing picked up a few large basins and estimated that each person could have two steamed buns to eat this morning.
The steamed buns give off a wheat aroma that makes people can’t help but yearn for it.
The food this morning was relatively light, which is very good for the stomach.
A big pot of dumpling soup, a few bowls of steamed buns and a few bowls of stir-fried vegetables made Hua Manhong and his friends very satisfied. It had been a long time since they had eaten such good food.
Unexpectedly, after fleeing the famine, they could still eat meat and white rice at their daughter and son-in-law's house. This was something the family would never dare to do in their dreams.
Soon the food on the table was swept away and eaten cleanly.
Delicious and memorable.
At this time, the workers who were building the house were already working. They started work early because the sun was strong so they could rest early.
After lunch, they were allowed to rest for an hour before returning to work. Yu Qingshu's family were not the kind of people who would exploit others.
Because today was also the first day of doing business, Yu Qingshu borrowed an ox cart from the village chief, which was just enough for him to rush to the town.
Yu Qinghai loaded all the items onto the oxcart, including prawns, fish, braised large intestines and braised meat. It took up most of the space on the oxcart, so the others could only sit close together.
Hua Qinglu felt a little relieved, after all, his two daughters were also going with him.
However, Yu Qingqing still disguised herself and Yu Qingmei's faces this time. She used a special thing to cover their faces.
She smeared her fair skin to look yellow, and wore clothes that looked like men's clothes. You couldn't tell unless you looked closely.
Hua Qinglu held Yu Qingmei's soft hands and said earnestly: "Xiaomei, go to town with your sister and brother, but don't run around. You must listen to your brother. Your mother is worried about you two sisters."
Hua Qinglu was also feeling a little uneasy, but he could only give a few more words of advice.
Yu Qingmei touched her yellow-painted face and said mischievously: "Don't worry, Mom. Look at how I'm dressed. There won't be any problem.
Besides, my sister and I are dressed like this, so others can’t tell unless they look closely.”
Yu Qingmei didn't care. Her sister and brother were so smart that they would be able to overcome the danger even if something really happened.
After looking at the two people's current attire, Hua Qinglu finally felt relieved. He gave Yu Qinghai a few words of advice and then said nothing else.
"Gee!" Yu Qinghai drove the ox cart and slowly walked towards the village entrance. With the ox cart, they could get to the town much faster.
We met many people along the way, and they were all very curious about the things on the Qinghai bull cart. From a distance, we could feel a fragrance, but no one was sure.
There were two skinny young men on the ox cart, but others seemed to find them somewhat strange.
Yu Qingqing felt the gazes of others, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. It was best if she could not be recognized.
