Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale and the air was still chilly, Liu Pingan opened his eyes in the light of the morning sun. An indescribable excitement blew away his sleepiness like a breeze in the morning light, prompting him to sit up quickly from the bed. He tiptoed to the window, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility, and carefully opened a corner of the curtain, letting the first ray of gentle sunlight sneak into the room and sprinkle on the floor, forming mottled light and shadow.

Then, he turned around and sat at the table, and skillfully opened the flash sale system. When three options flashed on the screen, his eyes were deeply attracted by a new "Dream (Manager) Prop". His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes flashed with curiosity and thought, as if he was facing an unknown treasure.

He took a deep breath, tapped his finger, and chose this mysterious prop without hesitation. As the prop description slowly unfolded, a smile gradually appeared on his lips, which was an expectation for unknown challenges and excitement for the opportunity to accumulate management experience in dreams. He savored every word, as if he was tasting a cup of mellow coffee, and his heart was full of longing for the dream journey that was about to come at night.

When he walked out of the room, he could smell the smoke and the tempting aroma of food coming from the kitchen. He followed the aroma and saw his grandmother and aunt busy preparing breakfast. The kitchen was bustling with activity.

Grandma stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula, frying a pot of golden scrambled eggs. The eggs jumped happily in the pan, making a "sizzling" sound. Grandma's face was filled with a kind smile. While frying, she said to the aunt: "Today's eggs are especially fresh, they will definitely be delicious when fried."

The aunt was busy chopping vegetables. Her knife skills were sharp and the leaves flew in her hands. Soon, a pile of neatly chopped vegetables was ready. She looked up at grandma and smiled, "Mom, your fried eggs are the most delicious. They always make me hungry."

Then, grandma started to stew the tofu. She skillfully cut the tofu into pieces, put it into the pot, added water and seasonings, and stewed it over low heat. The aroma of the stewed tofu gradually spread, making people salivate.

The auntie started to stir-fry the shredded pork. She put the shredded pork into the pot, added onions, ginger and garlic to sauté, and then added green peppers to stir-fry. For a moment, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, making people drool.

Finally, grandma prepared a pot of hot porridge. She washed the rice, added the right amount of water, and simmered it over low heat until the porridge became thick and delicious.

Breakfast was ready, and the family sat together and began to enjoy this sumptuous breakfast. At the table, everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Grandpa picked up a piece of scrambled eggs, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and nodded: "Well, today's scrambled eggs are really delicious, the heat is just right."

The uncle tasted the stewed tofu and praised: "Mom, your stewed tofu is still as delicious as always. It always tastes like home."

Uncle San was not to be outdone. He picked up a piece of shredded pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times, then said with a smile, "Sister-in-law's fried shredded pork is so delicious. The meat is tender and has a great taste."

Liu Jianjun picked up a bowl of porridge, took a sip, and said with satisfaction: "The porridge at home is still delicious, warming my stomach and heart."

Aunt and Third Aunt Liu Guifang also said that today's breakfast was very rich and everyone enjoyed it very much. At this time, Grandpa put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and said slowly with a leisurely look in his eyes: "The weather is good today. I plan to go to the fields to check on the crops and water the seedlings. As people get older, it's good to move their muscles more."

Hearing this, the uncle nodded with a smile on his face. He said, "Dad, be careful and don't get too tired. I plan to go to the market in town today. I heard that a new batch of farm tools has arrived. I have to pick out a few that are handy."

Uncle San looked eager to try. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said excitedly, "Today, I want to take the children to the forest behind the mountain to see if we can find some wild fruits. I also want to teach them how to identify directions and train their survival skills in the wild."

After hearing what his uncle said, Liu Jianjun's eyes flashed with nostalgia. He chuckled and said, "Uncle, this is a good idea. I haven't been to the back mountain for a long time. I remember when we were kids, we often went there to explore. We were really carefree back then."

After listening to everyone's plans, the auntie interrupted with a smile, "You all have plans, so I'll tidy up at home, sort out the clothes for the changing seasons, and hang out the quilts to make the house tidier. Oh, and I also have to go to Old Li's house at the entrance of the village to get some green onions that he grew himself. He promised to give them to me last time."

Third Aunt Liu Guifang also echoed, "As for me, I just want to go to the river with some sisters in the village to wash clothes, chat, and enjoy this rare leisure time. The scenery in our village is so beautiful, and going out more often will make you feel better."

Liu Pingan felt warm in his heart as he listened to his family's plans. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled and said, "Everyone has their own plans, so I will go fishing with peace of mind. When we come back in the evening, we can share our interesting stories together, how about that?"

When Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao heard this, their eyes immediately lit up like two shining stars, and they rushed to shout, "We want to go too! We want to go too!" Their voices were full of excitement and anticipation, as if this was a rare adventure.

Liu Ping'an smiled and nodded, his eyes full of doting and tenderness, as if he was looking at two cute elves. He whispered, "Okay, then we'll go together, but you have to be obedient." The two little guys immediately nodded like crazy, with happy smiles on their faces.

After dinner, Liu Pingan took Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao through the yard and walked towards the bamboo forest behind the house. As they walked and talked, Xiaoqiang jumped excitedly like a happy little deer, and laughed from time to time. Xiaotao followed closely behind, staring at his brother's back, as if afraid of missing any wonderful moments.

Arriving at the bamboo forest, Liu Pingan began to select suitable bamboos. He skillfully cut down a bamboo and carefully cut off the branches with a knife, his movements smooth and powerful. Then, he patiently taught the two children how to make a simple fishing rod with a knife and a rope. Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao studied attentively, occasionally making a sound of "ouch" because of accidentally cutting their hands, but quickly regained their focus and continued their work. Their faces were filled with serious expressions and anticipation for the fishing trip.

The sun shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on them. The breeze blows gently, and the bamboo leaves make rustling sounds, as if accompanying their fishing trip. At this moment, time seems to stand still, leaving only their cheerful laughter and expectant eyes, adding a bit of fun and expectation to this fishing trip.

Liu Pingan took out a thin and tough fishing line from his backpack, which shimmered in the sun. While demonstrating, he said to Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao: "Look, we have to tie the fishing line to one end of the bamboo pole. Remember to tie it tightly, otherwise the fish will easily fall off the line if it struggles." As he said this, he deftly wrapped the fishing line around the bamboo pole, tied a strong knot, and handed it to Xiaoqiang, asking him to try to pull it.

Xiaoqiang took the fishing rod, pulled the fishing line hard, his eyes widened, and said in surprise: "Wow, it's really tied very tightly!" Xiaotao also couldn't wait to have his own fishing rod, so Liu Pingan smiled and made another one for him.

After the three fishing rods were made, they happily walked through the bamboo forest and came to the small river beside the village. The water was clear and the surface was as calm as a mirror. Occasionally, a few fish jumped out of the water, stirring up ripples.

Liu Ping'an chose a place with a slow current and said to Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao, "Let's fish here. Remember to be quiet. Fish like a quiet environment." The two little guys nodded repeatedly, and imitated Liu Ping'an, carefully putting the fishing hook into the water, then holding their breath and waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Time passed by, the sun gradually became hotter, but their enthusiasm did not diminish at all. Xiaoqiang suddenly shouted: "Brother, look! My fishing float is moving!" Liu Pingan heard it and immediately walked over, only to see Xiaoqiang's fishing float floating up and down, obviously the fish was biting the hook.

"Quickly pull!" Liu Ping'an whispered. Xiaoqiang heard it and pulled the fishing rod hard. A small silver fish jumped out of the water along with the fishing line, splashing water. Xiaoqiang shouted excitedly: "I caught a fish! I caught a fish!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tao was so anxious that he stamped his feet and urged Liu Pingan: "Brother, help me check, my float is moving!" Liu Pingan walked over with a smile and helped him pull up the fishing rod, and a slightly larger fish was pulled up.

In this way, they took turns fishing, and every time they caught a fish, they would cheer and laugh. The sun shone on them, the river breeze caressed their faces, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

Liu Pingan looked at the two little guys' excitement, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness. He said softly: "Fishing can not only exercise our patience and observation, but also let us feel the magic and beauty of nature. You see, this river water, these fish, and this sunshine are all precious treasures given to us by nature."

Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao listened to Liu Ping'an's words and nodded, not quite understanding, but their eyes were full of awe and curiosity about nature. They knew that this fishing trip not only allowed them to catch fish, but also brought them the joy and happiness of close contact with nature.

As the sun rose higher, they caught more and more fish. Liu Pingan looked at the full bucket of fish and said to Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao with a smile: "Well, we have caught a lot today. Let's take these fish home and let grandma make us a delicious fish soup!"

When the two little guys heard this, they cheered immediately. They knew that the fish soup made by grandma was the most delicious in the world. So, they set off on the road home with full harvest and laughter.

When they got home, Liu Ping'an carried the heavy bucket of fish, while Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao followed him excitedly, chattering all the way and sharing the fun experiences they had while fishing.

As soon as I entered the door, my grandfather came over to greet me. Looking at the bucket of lively fish, his eyes were full of surprise: "Oh, there are so many fish! Ping An, you really have a great harvest today!"

Grandma also came out of the kitchen and looked at them with a smile: "It seems that we are in for a treat at noon today. Grandma will make you a delicious fish soup."

Uncle, Third Uncle and Liu Jianjun also came over and praised the fish. Uncle patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Young man, not bad! Your fishing skills are getting better and better."

Uncle San said jokingly, "It seems that we don't have to worry about eating fish in the future. With Ping An here, we can drink fresh fish soup every day."

Liu Jianjun also agreed with a smile: "Yes, this fish looks fresh. I must drink a few more bowls of fish soup later."

At the strong request of the two little ones, grandma decided to cook a sumptuous fish feast with auntie. They cleaned the fish first, and then grandma began to process the fish skillfully. She cut the fish into pieces skillfully, and then marinated it with salt, cooking wine and ginger slices for a while to remove the fishy smell.

The aunt was preparing the ingredients. She chopped up onions, ginger, garlic and chilies, and even picked some fresh coriander from the yard to add a touch of fragrance to the fish soup.

As the lid of the pot was opened, a rich aroma came to our noses. Grandma put the marinated fish into the pot, added water and seasonings, and simmered it over low heat. After a while, a pot of milky white fish soup appeared in front of everyone, with an aroma that made people salivate.

In addition to fish soup, grandma also specially made several fish dishes, including braised fish cubes, steamed fish fillets and fish ball soup. Each dish is delicious and tasty, which makes people's appetite increase.

At lunch time, the family sat together and enjoyed the sumptuous fish feast. Grandpa tasted the fish soup and nodded with satisfaction: "This fish soup is really delicious! Ping An, you caught a lot of fish today."

The uncle also praised it highly: "Yes, the fish meat is tender and melts in your mouth. It is really delicious."

Uncle San ate with gusto. While chewing the fish, he said, "Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better! This fish is so delicious!"

Liu Jianjun also took a sip of the fish soup and said with emotion: "The fish at home is still delicious! No matter how expensive the fish outside is, it can't compare to this."

The two little guys were eating so much that their mouths were full of oil. They were gnawing on the fish bones and laughing happily. Xiaoqiang even picked up a piece of fish meat for his grandmother: "Grandma, you should try it too! This fish is really delicious!"

Grandma took the fish with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction and happiness. She knew that this meal was not only a delicious fish feast, but also a warm time for the family to reunite.

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted, sharing their own interesting stories and gains. Liu Ping'an also talked about their fishing experience, which made everyone laugh. At this moment, he felt the warmth and happiness of home, and cherished this hard-won reunion time even more.
