Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 334 Lai Fu

Gu Qinghan only stayed for a moment and then went back.

She returned home with a can of freshly baked dried fish, smiling widely.

"This kid, tsk tsk ..."

Xu Qing looked surprised. He thought his eldest son, who had a cold and expressionless face all day long, could not smile.

It’s so nice to smile, you look even more handsome now.

"Mom, these are the dried fish that Ayuan gave me." Gu Qinghan put the jar in his hand on the table as if he were presenting a treasure.

"Oh, even Ayuan is called!" Xu Qing teased.

It was the first time that Gu Qinghan was teased by his own mother, and his face suddenly turned red.

Seeing her son like this, Xu Qing laughed, "Okay, mother won't tease you anymore."

"Qinghan, the day after tomorrow is the beginning of summer. Your father is going to fish in the fish pond at home. Have you discussed with Xu Yuan how you plan to get these fish?"

"I'll make some of it into dried fish and some of it into fish balls. Making fish balls takes a lot of work and I might have to trouble the uncles and aunts in the village."

"It's good to have an idea. Don't worry about the manpower. Your father will take care of it."

"By the way, Qinghan, before making a wish, I brought a good arithmetic method. It's very novel. Take a look at it when you have time. Your father copied a copy and put it in the study."

"Got it. I'll go and see."

……

"Sister, what do you think we should name this puppy?"

Xu Zhi was teasing the little wolf cub lying on the floor. The little wolf cub was quiet and quiet at this moment. When he first woke up, he just shuddered and looked at the strange environment. He was not quite used to it and cried a few times in a low voice.

While Xu Zhi was turning around, Xu Yuan quietly exchanged a dose of potion to restore body functions and fed it to him.

This calmed its anxious heart.

"Since it was so lucky to be picked up, it is a blessing for it, and it happened to come to our house, so let's call it Lai Fu."

"Laifu, what a nice name."

Xu Zhi touched Lai Fu's head and said softly, "Did you hear that? Your name is Lai Fu, welcome to our home."

"Wow, big sister, where did the dog come from?"

A scream came from the door, and then two figures rushed in quickly.

He threw the cloth bag he was carrying on the ground.

Two bright eyes were attracted by the small figure lying on the ground.

"Hahaha, it's a real dog. Our family now has a dog. That's great! I was so envious when I saw that Brother A Ming has two cats. Now I don't have to envy others anymore." Manyu said excitedly.

Xu Zhi: "Brother Gu found it and gave it to us to raise. By the way, its name is Lai Fu."

"Lai Fu, Lai Fu! That's great. I will definitely raise you to be plump and white." Guozi touched Lai Fu's thin little figure and said solemnly.

"Sister, Lai Fu is so small, can he eat?" Many people asked worriedly.

"I really can't eat it. I can only drink some rice soup and some meat paste."

"Okay, Lai Fu's body is still a little weak, let him rest for a while."

Xuyuan made a temporary arrangement in a corner of the kitchen, surrounded it with firewood, and temporarily placed Lai Fu there.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night, so we should wait for Lai Fu to adapt to the new environment before building its own house.

"Sister, I heard from Brother A Ming that his family's fish pond will start fishing the day after tomorrow. We should go and take a look then." Xuanyi sat at the table, poured himself a bowl of water, and said with anticipation.

"What time is it the day after tomorrow?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

"In the morning, the day after tomorrow happens to be our day off."

Village Chief Gu usually has set teaching times. Classes are scheduled in the morning for two and a half hours, with five days of classes followed by two days of rest.

To be honest, the arrangement is quite reasonable, combining work and rest.

Because making wishes provides a good way of arithmetic, which is quite novel, both adults and children in the village have already learned most of it. The teaching results are quite effective. The only thing missing is that they don’t have any coins to count.

……

"Mother, this dried fish smells so good. When did you become so good at cooking?"

Gu Qingming picked up a piece of dried fish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.

The two kittens under the table were purring as they ate the rice mixed with fish in big mouthfuls.

"How can you talk like that, kid? Why don't you like my meals?" Xu Qing glanced at his younger son who was eating with relish, and said unhappily.

"Mother, how could that be? I mean, the dried fish is especially fragrant today."

Gu Qingming quickly explained.

"Okay, you're just being sweet, this is what your wishing sister did."

"As expected of Sister Xuyuan, your craftsmanship is excellent." Gu Qingming praised casually, not forgetting to glance at Gu Qinghan.

I felt in my heart: He is worthy of being my eldest brother, he has a good vision.

Gu Qingming expressed satisfaction that Sister Xuyuan would be his sister-in-law in the future.

"Why are you looking at me? Can my hand break right in front of you?" Gu Qinghan noticed the gaze from the side and asked back.

Gu Qingming: ...

It doesn't make sense. I don't want you to pick up food for me.

After a sumptuous lunch, every household in the village fell into a short nap.

Gu Qinghan entered the study, took the math book, and returned to his room.

……

Shen time.

Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi and her two siblings appeared at the ditch.

"Xuyuan, what a coincidence, are you guys here to catch small fish too?"

Chen Biyun brought Daquan out from another path in the woods, looking surprised.

"No, we are here to cut a large piece of rhizomes and take them back." Xu Yuan shook his head and explained.

Chen Biyun looked at the plant with large leaves on the river bank and asked in confusion: "Can this be eaten?"

"Well, this is Guangcai. It looks a bit like the other two plants, but you can't eat one of them casually."

After making a wish and cutting off a rhizome, the reminder in his mind came as expected, and he easily earned 100 points.

"Make a wish, so this should also be a kind of wild vegetable. I saw quite a few of these when I went to dig wild vegetables some time ago."

"You can understand it that way, but there is a plant called Weeping Goddess of Water that looks quite similar. It is poisonous, so you can't mess with it." Xu Yuan explained solemnly.

"Sister, are the leaves shaped like shields and about the same height as this Guangcai?" Xu Zhi recalled what he had seen and asked Xu Yuan.

"Are the rhizomes similar to this Cantonese vegetable?" Xu Yuan felt a little happy.

"Yeah, almost."

"No, that's something else. It's a taro seedling with fruit underneath. It's taro. When it grows up, you can dig it out and make a delicious dish."

"So the taro sprouts and rhizomes you mentioned are also edible?" Chen Biyun asked back.

"Yes, but it can't be eaten directly. It has to be pickled before eating."

"Sister, is the other kind a plant that's taller than Guangcai and has bigger leaves? The rhizome is very thick." Guozi asked in confusion.

"Yes, that's what you said."

"Sister, I picked its leaves to shelter from the rain some time ago. Could I be poisoned?" Xuanyue's face suddenly changed and he said in horror.

"Don't panic. As long as you don't touch its juice, you'll be fine. If you do accidentally touch it, it will only make you feel painful and itchy. Just wash off the juice and you'll be fine."

Xu Yuan touched the frightened face of Hao Yi and comforted him.
