I Can See Through All Information Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Borrowing Food

 After arriving home, facing the eager eyes of the little kids, Lu Qing did not hesitate and immediately started dividing the fish.

 He picked two banana leaves from behind the small courtyard and cut them into several pieces.

 A handful of fish was given to each little kid, which was not much, probably less than half a catty per person.

Although there were not many fish, the little kids were very excited.

 After catching the fish, everyone ran home happily, as if they had caught some treasure.

 Seeing Lu Qing finish dividing the fish, some villagers came forward.

“Lu Qing, how do you catch fish? How can you catch so many fish at once?”

 “Here is a small half bamboo tube of salt, you can use it first.”

Lu Qing was overjoyed: "Thank you so much to my uncles!"

"What are you talking about? Are your uncles just waiting to take advantage of the situation? We are all from the same village, so we should support each other. It's just a little food. Uncle Shan will bring it to you when we get down!"

 There is no cooking pot in the kitchen.

 After cleaning the fish and preparing to fry it, Lu Qing discovered a problem.

“It's that common earthworm in the field.”

With a sigh, Lu Qing could only retreat and find a relatively flat stone slab from outside the yard. After cleaning it, he put it on the fire and roasted it slowly.

 After saying that, he took out several large handfuls of small fish from the bucket and divided them into several portions.

 In this ancient and feudal era, transportation was inconvenient and information was limited.

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I heard my father mention it before and just remembered it. Xiaoyan kept complaining that she was hungry today and there was no food at home. I just remembered this method and planned to try it. Unexpectedly, Really caught a fish.”

The little guy was squatting by the bucket watching the fish. He felt the villagers' gaze, raised his head, and immediately gave him a big smile.

 In this way, most of the fish in the barrel was gone in an instant.

“Lu Qing, this half jar of lard should be enough for you to eat for a while, right?”

 People are more cautious and conservative when it comes to new things and will not try them easily.

 After appeasing the little guy, Lu Qing also started to get busy in the kitchen.

Shan Bo went out immediately, and several other villagers also went home. Not long after, they all came to Lu Qing's yard again.

Several villagers had just brought out a lot of leftover food from home. They were still a little sore at first, but after catching the fish, they felt much better.

 It is possible that common sense that everyone knows in one place may become a rarity in another place.

 So now we only have earthenware pots for steaming rice at home, but no pots for cooking.

 Originally, there was an iron pot at home, but some time ago, the original owner sold it to buy grain.

 “That's fine... we're not welcome.”

 He stepped forward, tore off a small piece of pancake and put it in Xiaoyan's hand.

Xiaoyan nodded obediently, took the piece of cake and gnawed it happily.

 After all, when he was fishing, there were a bunch of little kids watching behind him.

 After sending several uncles away, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

 He was a little lucky.

 “Lu Qing, wait a moment, I'll go home and get you some food.”

 No one in the village is good at fishing, so it is normal for people not to know that fish like to eat earthworms.

“I didn't expect that fish actually like to eat earthworms. No wonder everyone didn't get much from fishing before. It turned out that the bait was wrong.” Some villagers lamented.

The villager hesitated when he heard the words and looked at Xiaoyan.

Lu Qing couldn't help but put several packages of fish wrapped in leaves into the hands of several villagers.

 “Well, Xiaoyan knows!”

“It's just luck.” Lu Qing said with a smile, “Maybe it's because the bait I use is more attractive to fish.”

 93.145.174.22

 “Brother, this cake is so delicious!”

“Of course you can, and the fish likes it quite a lot.”

"Xiaoyan and I can't eat so much. The weather is hot now, the fish is not available for a long time, and we don't raise chickens or ducks at home. The fish will easily go bad if we keep it, so the uncles will share it with me to avoid wasting it."

 Looking down, I saw the little guy squatting on the ground, drooling at the pancakes brought by one of the villagers just now.

From the memory of the original owner, he roughly guessed that he was in a world similar to ancient China.

 First I washed and steamed the rice, then I caught half a catty of small fish, disemboweled them and cleaned them.

“Uncles, let's take this little fish back and try it.”

 “Then what bait did you use?”

The villager suddenly felt sad. He looked at the thin Lu Qing again, feeling pity.

With such a buffer period, he can also explore ways to survive in this world.

 Having said this, several other villagers naturally didn't say anything either.

 Fortunately, the people in the village are relatively simple, otherwise, he would not dare to borrow food rashly.

Lu Qing was thinking when he suddenly heard Xiaoyan's words.

“That's right, it's just a little food. I'll get it for you right now!”

“Xiaoyan, be good, eat this piece of cake first, and my brother will go cook now.”

Several villagers clapped their chests and looked generous.

The villager was moved and shouted loudly.

 Lu Qing recalled it for a moment and then remembered.

Now, with this little food, he and Xiaoyan won't have to worry too much about food for ten days and a half.

He bowed repeatedly and said: "That's enough, that's enough, thank you uncles!"

“Earthworm, this thing can actually be used for fishing?” The villagers were surprised.

Shan Bo and the others waved their hands repeatedly, "How can this be done? These fish are all those you just worked so hard to catch. Let's keep them for you and Xiao Yan to eat."

“Here, you and Xiaoyan eat this half bag of rice first. When you finish eating, ask Shan Bo for it again!”

"I was just going to discuss it with some of my uncles." Lu Qing said sincerely. "The uncles also know that my family's current situation can be said to be that we don't have half a grain of rice, so I want to borrow some grain and food from these uncles." Oil and salt, when I find a job in a few days, I will definitely pay back double the amount."

 In this case, it is better to say it openly to avoid others saying that he is stingy.

Anyway, even if he didn't say anything, people in the village would know it before long.

“My family bought too much salt at the market early in the month, so I can give you some evenly.”

 Looking at the things brought by several villagers, Lu Qing was inexplicably grateful.

“Lu Qing, your father told you this method, right?”

Lu Qing is not surprised that the villagers don't know that earthworms can fish.

Lu Qing did not hide it and told the truth.

"It's just oil. I have a lot left at home. I'll dig it out for you later!"

“I have a few flatbreads that your aunt baked just this morning. They can be saved for a long time. If you eat one, you will be hungry for a long time. Is that enough?”

After the stone slab was boiling hot, Lu Qing carefully dug out a small spoonful of solidified lard from the earthen jar brought by a villager.

The lard made a sizzling sound when it hit the stone slab. The fat melted quickly, and a scent of oil suddenly hit your nostrils.
