40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Yun Guohua looked at the way everyone was looking at him and felt embarrassed. "I just started learning. I believe I can catch fish if I try a few more times!"

"Okay, forget about catching fish, come and help carry them home, and bring the buckets to fill them."

[Go home? He still wants to catch fish! He doesn’t want to go back. ]

Yun Guohua was thinking about it and was about to speak. He thought his elder sister wanted him to carry some river water back home!

I caught a glimpse of what was in the bucket out of the corner of my eye and changed what I was about to say.

"What is this?" he said, while raising his hand and pointing to the things in the bucket.

"My eldest sister said these are river shrimps and can be eaten!" Yun Shasha replied, "Second brother, quickly pick them back and bring the empty bucket over. This one is almost full and there's nothing left to put in."

When Yun Guohua heard that there were edibles in the bucket, he didn't ask any questions and just took them home first.

Yun Guohua quickly picked up the bucket and prepared to walk home.

Yun Feifei realized that this method of picking was not a solution, so she called the twins, the boy and the girl, to follow Yun Guohua back and asked them to bring the backpack from home.

Yun Feifei and Yun Shasha returned to the river with buckets to catch shrimps.

When the two of them brought the buckets ashore again, Yun Feifei scooped the shrimps from her own bucket into Yun Shasha's bucket, and without waiting for Yun Shasha to speak, she went back into the river.

Yun Shasha looked at her elder sister's actions and could only secretly hate herself for not moving faster.

Yun Guohua returned with the bucket about an hour later.

Yun Feifei had already filled Yun Shasha's bucket. She did not go into the river, but cleaned the river shrimps with Yun Shasha on the shore. She planned to dry the shrimps and store them.

During this period, many people saw the actions of the two sisters and curiously approached to see what they were doing.

They also saw Yun Feifei and others catching river shrimps. Thinking that these things could fill their stomachs, many people also joined the industry of catching river shrimps.

Many villagers know that river shrimps are edible, but they are small, have little meat, are difficult to eat, and are hard to catch. They are already busy enough with work in the fields, so they are not interested in shrimps.

So when Yun Guohua and the others came back, there were already quite a few people standing in the river catching river shrimps. They all caught them according to Yun Feifei's method and had a good harvest.

When Yun Shasha saw them coming back, she poured the river shrimps in the bucket directly into the backpack and quickly went down to the river.

If we don't hurry up, they will catch all the shrimps in the river.

Yun Guohua told the twins to watch over them carefully, and he also went into the water carrying a bucket.

When the two backpacks were almost full, Yun Shasha took Yun Guoping home with the backpacks to cook lunch, and asked Yun Lingling to watch over the things.

As the brother and sister walked with the basket on their backs, water fell from the basket. The water fell to the ground and was quickly evaporated by the sun.

When they got home, Yun Shasha and her partner put down the backpack first and asked Yun Guoping to pick up the broom to sweep the floor. She went into the kitchen, lit the stove, and put a lot of sweet potatoes and yams on it to steam.

Then he came out and poured the shrimps in the basket onto the ground and spread them out to dry.

After the sweet potatoes and yams were cooked, the brother and sister quickly picked up what they liked and ate them.

After eating, he grabbed a few sweet potatoes, put them in the backpack, hurriedly locked the door, and rushed to the river.

After the two of them returned to the river, Yun Feifei and Yun Guohua just came up from the river carrying buckets of water. After Yun Shasha asked them to eat sweet potatoes, she carried the buckets of water and went back to the river.

She didn't bring yam with her. There were so many people here and it would be troublesome if someone saw her.

They were busy until after four o'clock, and Yun Feifei took them home. There were still many people catching shrimps by the river.

The five siblings worked hard for a whole day and caught almost 300 kilograms of shrimp, which made them very happy.

Of course, there are more shrimps in Yun Feifei's space.

After returning home, Yun Guohua put down his things and went out impatiently to find out the news.

Yun Shasha went into the kitchen to cook dinner, while Yun Feifei took the two children to the yard to clean shrimps.

Yun Guohua came back during dinner time.

For today's dinner, we cooked the river clam into soup, and stewed a lot of shrimps, and paired it with a paste made from wild vegetables and locust powder. Everyone was full and felt very satisfied.

After so many days, Yun Feifei could see that the complexions on her four younger brothers and sisters' faces were much better than when she first came here. She believed that in a few months they would all be plump and white.

After everyone had eaten, Yun Guohua told everyone the news he had heard.

The people in the village who went up the mountain this morning came back. They walked around the mountain and didn't see any wild boars. They didn't know whether they had hidden themselves or left the area.

The village chief meant that it would be best for everyone not to go up the mountain, and if they had to go up the mountain, they should not go deep into the mountain.

The weather is dry now, not only are humans short of food, but animals are also short of food!!

Since they couldn't find any food, they decided to go down the mountain to find something to eat.

……

Yun Shasha got up early the next morning and took over the position of chef. She steamed a big pot full of yam and sweet potatoes, and also cooked the portion for lunch.

Yun Feifei and the other three spread the shrimps on the ground in the yard and exposed them to the sun.

After eating, everyone put on straw hats, picked up buckets and backpacks and ran straight to the river.

When they arrived at the river, there were already many people there. Some were carrying water, and some were going down to the river to catch shrimps.

The number of people seemed to be larger than yesterday. More people heard that the shrimps caught from the river could fill their stomachs, so they joined the ranks of catching river shrimps.

Yun Feifei and the others didn't waste any time. They put their things down, picked up the buckets and ran straight to the river.

The twins only cleaned the river shrimps caught by their older brother and sister at the riverside and then put them into the backpack.

After Yun Feifei caught two buckets of river shrimps, she clearly felt that the number of shrimps in the river was less than yesterday.

Yun Feifei felt that she couldn't keep up this job of catching river shrimps for much longer.

She took a look at the densely packed river shrimps, fish and various river seafood that she had stored in the space and had been frozen in mid-air because there was no place to store them.

He took a look at all the various foods that he had stored in the space since he came here.

The food reserves in her space were enough for the five siblings to spend for several years.

Although the number of shrimps in the river has decreased now, Yun Feifei and her friends have become proficient at fishing after so many times yesterday, and they can always put a lot of harvest in the bucket every time.

But many of those fishing here have just arrived today, and their movements seem unfamiliar.

Among them are Wang Yulan and Yun Chengye and their family.
