Chapter 10 Catching Pheasants
Zheng Xiaoman saw that the pheasant was just concentrating on eating grass with its head down, so she carefully raised the sickle and chopped at the chicken's neck.
"Flutter flutter"
The pheasant's neck was cut off at once, but its body still flapped on the ground for several times before slowly calming down.
Zheng Xiaoman waited until the pheasant was completely motionless before he happily went over and picked it up.
She found a large leaf to wrap the pheasant, put it in a basket and carried it down the mountain.
When we were almost at the foot of the mountain, we met a boy of about thirteen or fourteen walking up the mountain with a backpack on his back.
He was wearing a grey shorts, was tall and thin, with fair skin and delicate features.
He had a pair of narrow, long, almond-shaped eyes, with a look that was not in keeping with his age. He had a straight nose and round lips, and was a very handsome young boy.
The original body knew this young man. His name was Yang Shuhuai. His family also lived at the foot of the mountain, not far from her house.
Their two families had a good relationship. When they were young, the two families even joked about arranging a marriage between the original owner and him.
But it was all a joke, and no one mentioned it again.
Yang Shuhuai also saw Zheng Xiaoman walking down, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Brother Shuhuai, why are you going up the mountain at this late hour?" Zheng Xiaoman greeted the other party according to his original body's memory.
Yang Shuhuai nodded, "Well, there is no firewood at home, let's go up the mountain to chop some firewood."
Zheng Xiaoman didn't plan to say more to him, "Then go quickly, it will be dark soon, I will go home first."
"Okay." Yang Shuhuai said in a clear and cold voice, lowered his head and continued walking up the mountain.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and looked at the receding figure with doubt and confusion in his eyes.
Zheng Xiaoman is not dead, which is a little different from the previous life.
He didn't think any more about it. He could live his life over again, so it was normal for other people's destinies to change.
Zheng Xiaoman ran down the mountain very quickly and returned home in a quarter of an hour.
"Mom, mom, look what I brought back."
Zhou Chunfeng heard her daughter's cry and walked out from the backyard.
When I saw the pheasant weighing nearly three pounds in my daughter's hand, I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Girl, where did you get the pheasant?"
"Mom, I caught this when I was digging wild vegetables. Mom, am I really amazing?"
Zheng Xiaoman raised her little face and waited for her mother's praise.
Zhou Chunfeng also supported her, "Yes, my daughter is amazing. She can catch fish and pheasants. There is no child in this village who is more amazing than my daughter."
Zheng Xiaoman was just joking with her mother, but she didn't expect that she would actually dare to praise her. She felt embarrassed by the praise.
Zheng Chunhua heard the noise in front and led Lichun and Lixia over.
I was a little surprised to see such a big pheasant on the ground, and then I started to praise it along with my sister-in-law.
"This pheasant is quite big. Xiaoman is really amazing. He can catch such a big pheasant."
Zheng Xiaoman laughed and threw himself into his aunt's arms.
"Aunt, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed."
"Hahahaha" Zheng Chunhua and Zhou Chunfeng both laughed when they saw her like this.
Zhou Chunfeng looked at the smile on her daughter's face, and the big stone that had been weighing on her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Mom, what are you doing? You are laughing so happily."
Zheng Qingming came back carrying a wooden barrel and heard laughter from his own yard from a distance.
He was a little dazed for a moment, as if there hadn't been such laughter in the house for a long time.
Before Zhou Chunfeng could say anything, Lixia ran over happily and held his hand, "Brother, our elder sister is amazing. She caught a big pheasant."
"Huh? Did your sister catch a pheasant? Let me see it."
It's not easy to catch pheasants in this mountain, they are all very cunning.
Before anyone could get close, it flapped its wings and flew away when it heard a sound.
Zheng Qingming squatted on the ground and picked up the pheasant. "Wow, it weighs about three or four pounds. Sister, you are amazing."
Zheng Xiaoman didn't want anyone to praise her anymore, so she immediately changed the subject, "Brother, did you catch the fish?"
Zheng Qingming changed the subject, "I went to the place where you caught fish this morning, and I actually caught two, but they were not as big as the ones you caught."
He brought the bucket over, and sure enough, there were two grass carps more than 30 centimeters long in it.
"Brother is really amazing. This fish is not small."
Zheng Xiaoman gave his brother a thumbs up.
Zhou Chunfeng was also happy that her son had caught fish. "We'll eat these two small fish tonight, and the two big fish from this morning and this pheasant. You can take them to Shopkeeper Bai to sell them tomorrow during the Qingming Festival."
"Okay, mom. I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Zheng Xiaoman originally wanted to keep the chicken for her family to eat, but after thinking about her family’s current situation, she decided to give up.
Winter is just a few months away, and they don’t even have enough cotton-padded clothes and quilts, so they should save money first.
Zhou Chunfeng turned back to Zheng Chunhua and said, "Chunhua, call your parents over later, and we'll cook fish for dinner."
Zheng Chunhua hesitated a little, "Sister-in-law, why don't you sell these two fish together? They can fetch a lot of money."
Zhou Chunfeng smiled and shook her head, "I'm not selling these two. Xiaoman caught more than ten fish this morning, and I'm saving these for our family to eat.
We just moved into a new home, so this is just to warm our house.”
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back and ask my parents to come over."
Zhou Chunfeng was afraid that the old couple would not want to come, so she asked Zheng Qingming to go with them.
The old couple really didn’t want to come at first, but Zheng Qingming coaxed them into coming over.
Zhou Chunfeng carried the fish and pheasant into the kitchen and hung the pheasant in a cool place. The temperature was already a little low at night, so it wouldn't go bad if it was left overnight.
She put the big bones and pig offal bought in the morning into cold water and prepared to cook them tomorrow.
Zheng Xiaoman also followed in, "Mom, let me help you."
Zhou Chunfeng did not refuse, "Then help me scoop out two bowls of corn flour, and I will make pancakes for you in the evening."
"okay."
Zheng Xiaoman responded, took the wooden basin and walked to the large vat where grain was stored. He opened the wooden lid, which contained half a vat of corn flour.
She took the bowl of noodles and scooped two bowls into the basin, "Mom, is this enough?"
Zhou Chunfeng took a look and said, "Please scoop another bowl, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."
Zheng Xiaoman scooped another bowl. Her family's noodle bowl was big, and after scooping out three bowls, a large amount of cornmeal in the jar went down.
She put the lid back on, added water and started kneading the dough.
When Zhou Chunfeng finished cleaning the fish, she found that her daughter had already kneaded the dough.
Zheng Xiaoman stood up and brought in his backpack, "Mom, I picked a lot of wild vegetables. Let's make some wild vegetables to eat in the evening."
"Okay, just do it as you see fit."
With her mother's approval, she picked out some wild vegetables, washed them, put them in the pot, blanched them in hot water and took them out.
Then add the seasoning and mix well. It looks very appetizing.
"Okay, mom will do the rest, you and your brothers and sisters can go out and play."
