GBP Chapter 534 Picking Lotus Seeds
Chapter 534 Picking Lotus Seeds
"Brother Qin, I hope you can do what you say."
Wen Xi brought the iced pearl milk tea to Qin Mi. The ice had melted long ago and it didn't taste that cold. She said she made it and let it cool down, and Qin Mi couldn't notice anything.
Sure enough, Qin Mi was just like her family members whose intelligence was reduced in the original text. After drinking the pearl milk tea, Qin Mi didn't say a word.
After eating the first pot of crabs, the second pot was still cooking, so Qin Mi went to throw away the crab shells. If the crab shells were thrown nearby, they might attract insects, so they had to be thrown farther away.
While Qin Mi was away, Wen Xi used a scoop net to scoop out a net of large river shrimps from the shrimp pond. She took a few, washed them, and then put them into the crab pot. These large shrimps are easy to cook and can be eaten in a few minutes.
Now she has her own shrimp pond. The most important thing is that she has never sold these big river shrimps, so she doesn’t know how many big river shrimps she has in her hands now.
She rarely takes it out to eat, but she has to eat a moderate amount, otherwise what if the shrimp pond overflows?
These big river shrimps are large in size and meaty, and a few of them can fill a person up, so Wenxi didn’t cook too many.
When Qin Mi came back, Wen Xi saw the bouquet made of wild flowers in his hand. The wild flowers of various colors looked really beautiful together. Wen Xi couldn't help but think of the valley where He Chenan took her. It seemed that she still had to collect some seeds in the autumn.
Because some wild flowers are really beautiful and can be cultivated.
"Xi, this is for you." Qin Mi handed the bouquet to Wen Xi, "The most beautiful flowers are for the most beautiful person."
Wen Xi looked at Qin Mi with amusement, "Brother Qin, where did you learn all this nonsense from?"
"I haven't learned anything. I just simply want to give you all the beautiful things in this world." Qin Mi said firmly.
Wen Xi reached out and took the flower. "There are so many beautiful things in this world. If you want to give them to me, you have to work hard."
"Well, I will keep working hard." Qin Mi clenched his fists and said firmly.
After that, the two of them sat down and started eating crabs and large river prawns. Although they were just boiled in water with just a little salt, delicious food can often taste great with the simplest cooking methods.
At the hottest time of the day at noon, two people went to swim under the waterfall. The water here was always flowing downwards, so the water was not deep and an adult could walk upright in it.
After swimming for half an hour, Wenxi went ashore. She found a place to change into clean clothes and then lay down on a bamboo mat to rest. There was no sun here and the breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable.
In the evening, the two returned home. Wen Xi saw that Jiang Yue's eyes were red. He handed the things to Qin Mi, then came to Jiang Yue and asked worriedly, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"When Jiang Yang had a heatstroke, I didn't go to take care of him, so they wrote to me and scolded me. Have they forgotten about breaking off relations with me?" Jiang Yue said aggrievedly.
They didn't like her, but they needed her.
Since you need her help, can't you be nicer to her?
Does it mean that she has no share in the good things, but all the bad things are hers?
What beautiful things are they thinking about?
"If they write to curse you, you can also write to curse them, to let them know that you are not easy to bully. Otherwise, they will only become more and more aggressive. People are like this, testing your bottom line step by step." Wen Xi patted Jiang Yue's shoulder and reminded.
Jiang Yue nodded, "I understand."
Why is she the only one being scolded? She has to scold back, otherwise they will scold her for every little thing in the future.
After that, Jiang Yue turned around and went back to her room, took out a piece of letter paper and started writing. He already didn't want her as his daughter anymore, but when something happened, he wanted to take advantage of her. Did he really think that she was still the same person who was easy to bully as before?
Wen Xi washed her hands and face, and used canning bottles to collect the wild flowers picked by Qin Mi. She then placed them on the table in the room, adding a touch of bright color to the entire room.
After that, Wenxi went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Qin Mi was here today, so he couldn't cheat and had to come and cook honestly. However, Qin Mi was responsible for lighting the fire, so that Wenxi wouldn't be burned by the fire.
The two of them worked together and quickly prepared a simple set of three dishes and one soup, including fried bacon with green peppers, fried bacon with cowpea, braised eggplant, and tomato and egg soup.
These are the only vegetables in the yard in the summer, so we can only eat these. If we want to eat other kinds of vegetables, we can only wait until she is free to cook and serve them to us.
Wen Xi suddenly thought of the lotus root and whispered to Qin Mi, "Brother Qin, come with me to a place tonight!"
"Okay." Qin Mi agreed immediately, because no matter where Wen Xi asked him to go, he would not refuse, even if the place was full of dangers.
Dinner was ready, and Wen Xi called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to come for dinner. After dinner, the two of them went out with flashlights and tools. Wen Xi packed up and took Qin Mi out as well. The two came to the place where they had peeled lotus roots and picked lotus seeds last year.
"Brother Qin, the lotus seeds are delicious. Could you pick some for me?" Wen Xi looked up at Qin Mi.
Qin Mi reached out and touched Wen Xi's hair, "Xi, your business is my business, how can it be a trouble?"
So Qin Mi took the backpack, went down to the pond, and walked towards the place where the lotus seeds were.
Qin Mi was tall and had long legs, so he didn't need to wear a swimming suit. Most importantly, Wen Xi had no way to take out a swimming suit and use it because there was no such suit at that time.
Watching Qin Mi walk to the middle, Wen Xi squatted by the grass and quietly added a little fish anesthetic into the pond. Last year, she left a lot of river shrimps uncaught. After a year of growth, the river shrimps should have grown bigger, right?
Sure enough, after a while, fish began to float on the water with their bellies up, and there were crayfish and big river shrimps sleeping in the water plants nearby. Wenxi quickly scooped them up with a scoop net.
Qin Mi was picking lotus pods in the middle, while Wen Xi was having a lot of fun catching fish on the side. She didn't sort them, but put them all in a wooden barrel. She would eat them directly tomorrow anyway, so there was no need to sort them.
Qin Mi also came across a wild duck's nest in the middle and caught a few wild ducks and some wild duck eggs. He first gave the things in his hand to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi just remembered that she had also caught wild ducks and picked up wild duck eggs last summer. She also used an incubator to hatch the wild duck eggs, and when the wild ducks grew up, she placed them in the system warehouse.
Since she has all kinds of meat and no shortage of meat, she has never eaten wild ducks. Now Wenxi has many feed ducks and native ducks, so she doesn't need to eat these things.
