After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Fishing

The idea is wonderful, but the implementation process is not satisfactory.

 When Qin Yao got up, what was placed on the dinner table was neither steamed buns nor noodles.

 It is a bowl of noodle soup with clear soup and little water.

 She took a small taste, it was so salty!

 The good mood that I finally built up last night was instantly shattered.

If it weren't for the fact that the four Dalang brothers and sisters had eaten up their portions, Qin Yao would definitely have grabbed Liu Ji's collar and asked him: “Can you cook?!”

Liu Ji struggled to swallow the dough he had made, and lowered his eyes, trying to let Qin Yao understand with this pitiful look that he had worked very hard.

 The three of them watched Qin Yao leave, looked at each other, cheered each other up, and practiced separately.

The helper has already arrived, Qin Yao let him go for the time being, greeted Uncle Jiu and others one by one, and started a busy day.

“The first step is to find the prey first. There were more fish in the place where I caught fish yesterday. What is the basis for my judgment? Come and take a look.”

　Not only were there no fish, but the other fish that had just gathered in the aquatic plants were also scared away.

Also, you need to think like a prey.

Liu Fei obviously didn't have enough to eat, so he was waiting for Qin Yao to teach him how to fish and eat.

For this reason, Dasao also complained a few words, but he also knew his temper. He left half a bowl of breakfast and went home at noon to eat.

 Old man Liu said that his family doesn't care about these things when helping, and they don't need the two cents a day.

Liu Fei and Jinbao thought that they must catch a fish today, otherwise they would not go home.

Dalang stared blankly at the waves in the river, imagining what it would be like to be a fish.

Qin Yao doesn't have to pick rocks today, she has to buy wood.

 You must be patient when hunting and cannot be impatient, because once you miss an opportunity due to impatience, the time for the next opportunity to arrive will be extended indefinitely.

While they were complaining, Qin Yao, who had been standing behind them, had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised the tree branch and thrust it diagonally into the water with a "whoosh".

 But no matter which one it is, there is one rule that cannot be escaped—stable, accurate, and fast.

 The same is true when fighting an enemy.

Qin Yao also had a lot of energy to work, so Old Man Liu asked her to make lunch for the helpers.

These boys are waiting for her to teach them how to catch fish.

There was a "pop" sound and water splashed. Because all his strength was concentrated on the branches, Liu Fei leaned forward and almost lost his balance.

However, Qin Yao did not say this sentence, so as not to scare the children.

“After discovering prey, the next step is to get closer. This step is very important. You must be steady, with a steady heart, steady hands, and steady breathing. Treat yourself as part of the surrounding environment.”

Qin Yao waved, Liu Fei held the sharpened branch, took a deep breath nervously, stared at the fish sitting in the water plants less than one meter in front of him, held the branch with both hands, and raised it high to accumulate strength. , aimed in the direction, and plunged in hard!

He hates Liu Ji, but he admires Qin Yao, his third sister-in-law, so he took the initiative to help him this time.

The earthen house was built quickly, and Qin Yao would have to pull back all the wood in the next two days.

 After teaching the theory, I took these children to practice.

Dalang looked at the two people who had already gone to look for traces of the fish, but did not move for a while, recalling what Qin Yao had just said over and over again in his mind.

Fish soup is inherently fresh and delicious no matter how you cook it. The porridge is served with fish soup at noon, and each person gets two or three pieces of fish.

 I just hope they finish it quickly and then it's my turn. The stepmother told him, and she would teach him.

Several children ran over and called Qin Yao. Qin Yao looked up and saw Liu Jinbao and Liu Fei looking at her anxiously and expectantly.

Dalang and the other two men immediately let out low shouts of surprise and looked at Qin Yao with admiration.

Liu Fei didn't have lunch at his third sister-in-law's house either, because he felt very sick when he thought about eating the food cooked by Liu Ji. At noon, he ran straight home and had a few bites at home.

 He shouted in surprise: "I got it!"

The fish that had just escaped from the branch of Liu Fei's tree was struck by the branch she flew out of and floated on the river.

Qin Yao picked up the twigs and fish together and threw the fish that were still alive on the shore.

“Third sister-in-law.” Liu Fei called Qin Yao awkwardly.

When Qin Yao said he was teaching, he really meant teaching. He didn't hide his personal interests at all. He started teaching by looking for fish.

Qin Yao turned back to look at the frustrated Liu Fei, her tone still unhurried, "Remember one word, steady. Hunting is a task that requires patience, so you can't rush it."

Qin Yao looked around, walked to the grove by the river, cut down three tree branches, and sharpened one end to use as a harpoon.

Dalang and Jinbao looked over excitedly. The water had calmed down. There was only a branch stuck to the bottom of the water and two fish scales. There were no fish at all.

Qin Yao locked the doors of her house, told Uncle Jiu, and, surrounded by a group of children, came to the river with a hatchet.

“Okay, uncle, come first and use the technique I just taught you on the shore to spear fish.”

He was so young that he could only stand on the river beach and watch. Erlang led his younger brothers and sisters. He was envious when he saw that his brother and uncle could go down to the river.

Old man Liu said before that there was a family in the village that had wood, so Qin Yao took the money to go to the owner's house and spent four taels of silver to buy the needed wooden beams.

 Liu Fei, Jin Bao and Dalang were all eager to try, so Qin Yao handed the harpoon to them.

Liu Ji curled his lips and went out proudly carrying an empty basket. Let him see where he can go to pick up some food for dinner today.

 When he takes the fish home, his sister-in-law will no longer complain. The fish is full of meat, so it's very valuable!

 There are many ways to fish, including fishing, netting, harpooning, and using covers and bare hands.

Erlang and the other two men immediately ran over and took away the fish, and they were very happy.

 Before stewing, he almost threw the whole fish into the pot, but Dalang discovered it immediately and said that the fish had to be killed, which virtually saved his life.

Jin Bao immediately complained: "Uncle Fourth, you roared too loudly and scared all the fish away. How can we catch them?"

Uncle Jiu was very satisfied with the meal and praised Liu Ji: "San'er, your cooking skills have improved very quickly. If you practice more, you might be able to work as a chef in a restaurant in the town!"

 Having a half-hour break at noon, everyone gathered around the construction site to chat.

 Use the thinking of prey to think about what they will do next when they encounter a hunter, so as to make plans in advance.

Uncle Jiu said that the foundation for the wall can be dug today, and the foundation for the new house will be dug tomorrow, and the house can be built the day after tomorrow.

Seeing that the helpers in front of the house had already started working, Qin Yao told them another trick.

Possibly trying to save something, Liu Ji stewed all the fish Qin Yao caught yesterday.

 Three meals a day is a very luxurious behavior for ordinary people. The old house only eats two meals a day.

The host was willing to help her carry the wood back together. Together, the two of them carried all the wooden beams back in one afternoon and piled them neatly in the open space at the door.

The sun went down and the helpers dispersed. Liu Ji had already prepared dinner. Qin Yao called the children to eat, only to find that Da Lang was not there.
