Chapter 549 Sit Down and Fish
We don’t catch much each time, not enough to roast and eat, and it seems that there is not enough to make porridge.
After taking another sip, he couldn't help but ask Li, "Mom, do you want to make porridge with the remaining one?"
Li said, "We can only make porridge. The remaining one doesn't look very energetic. It probably won't survive until noon. We can slice it and cook it into porridge after dinner."
Everyone nodded.
The old man said, "It's also good to make porridge. This porridge is sweet and delicious."
If the porridge was like this every morning, he would not eat anything else.
The old doctor hesitated and said, "If that's the case, can I have another bowl of this porridge?"
Li smiled and said, "Of course, I'll go scoop up the remaining porridge and leave two bowls for him."
Zhou Xing hurriedly said, "I'll go."
After a while, a clay pot of fish porridge was brought in.
Everyone looked at such a big pot and drank the porridge a lot faster.
Zhou Guo took another sip of porridge and picked up a bun filled with pork and cabbage. It tasted so greasy and fragrant when he took a bite. It was very delicious.
Served with crispy pickled cucumbers and pickled radishes, it really whets your appetite.
She drank three bowls of porridge in one breath, ate six buns and five steamed buns, before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
The old doctor had not left the table. Seeing her eating like this, he smacked his lips and said, "I finally know where your strength comes from. You really don't eat so much in vain."
Zhou Guo felt that the last two words were unpleasant to the ear. "Old doctor, what you said is wrong. Don't you have such great strength? Do you think every meal is wasted?"
The old doctor was startled, shook his head and smiled: "You are right, each of us has a meal that is not eaten in vain. Let's go, after eating, we will go into the mountains."
The old man still went along with them. He had to go fishing. If that didn't work, he could just catch a roe deer. The roe deer that Zhou Guo caught was gone after only three meals. It had been a long time since he had eaten it, and it tasted very good.
The same people from yesterday entered the mountain again.
The old man still left as soon as he entered the mountain.
Zhou Guo led them along the same route as yesterday, carrying a basket and looking for mushrooms as they walked. He actually found some.
She moved down the tree trunks where many mushrooms grew and placed them on the side of the road, planning to rush over and carry them back when she returned. At this time, these were really good things for her.
Along the way, the old doctor and the soldiers dug herbs while she picked mushrooms.
If the soldiers came across mushrooms while digging herbs, they would shout to her, and when there were more people, they could pick up more.
In less than an hour, the basket was full.
Eight dead trees have been moved so far, including the two from yesterday.
The mushrooms on these dead trees are both numerous and of good quality, mainly because they have grown so many that they are very valuable to take back.
She didn't dare sleep today, for fear that the old doctor would become so engrossed in digging that he would disappear somewhere else.
From one mountain to another.
In addition to a basket of mushrooms, I also picked up a pound or two of wild chestnuts in the pile of fallen leaves. It's a pity that Hei Dadan didn't come, otherwise if I had let him look for it, I'm afraid he would have found more chestnuts.
Several pounds of chestnuts were shared among several people. One person put a big bag in his arms and ate while walking, digging and eating. Even though his hands were covered with mud, he still enjoyed the food.
As the sun slowly approached noon, the old doctor was still reluctant to leave.
After another half hour, Zhou Guo couldn't stand it anymore, so he forced him to get down and eat some steamed buns with chestnuts. His stomach was no longer so empty, and then he stood up and continued walking.
After another half hour, the few steamed buns in her stomach seemed to be empty again. She tempted the old doctor by saying that the mountain where they dug ginseng was on the other side of the pond.
The group walked back.
She picked up wood as she walked. When there were too many, she tied them up with vines and dragged them along. Her shoulders were too weak to bear it.
After placing the wood on the road out of the mountain, he took the old doctor and his men to find the old man.
Just like yesterday, the old man had already roasted the meat, but today there was only roasted fish and a pot of fish soup.
A dead musk deer was lying on the ground next to it.
Zhou Guo was very surprised. He hadn't eaten musk deer meat for a long time. "Master, how far did you run to get this? I was in the mountains for two days and didn't see any musk deer or even footprints."
The old man took out a few bowls and chopsticks from the side and said, "We have traveled to three mountains, so today we only have these two grilled fishes. The others are gone. Just eat what you have. I will prepare something delicious when we return home in the evening."
Of course, these words were spoken to the old doctor and his companions.
The old doctor said quickly: "It doesn't matter, we can just eat steamed buns. Brother, you don't have to work so hard every day and bring a bowl with you."
The old man was noncommittal.
Zhou Guo took action and everyone scooped a bowl of fish soup with wild vegetables in it.
Everyone took out their steamed buns and started eating them, taking bites of the buns, the fish and the soup.
After dinner, Zhou Guo pointed to a mountain not far away and said to the old doctor, "I have to climb several mountains to dig ginseng. It's too late today. Let's go tomorrow. It's getting late now. You guys can just walk around this mountain. Maybe you can find something good. If there's anything wrong, just shout and we'll be there right away."
The old doctor knew that she was going to slack off again and nodded readily. Although herbs are important, food is also important. She must eat such delicious fish several times before leaving.
Zhou Guo and the others left and were about to roll up their trousers to go into the water, but the old man stopped them and said, "Why are you still going into the water in such a cold day? You're going to make me sick even if I'm not sick. Just sit next to me."
Zhou Guo sighed, "Master, you asked me to sit next to you for so long, how can I sit still?"
The old man nodded to the side and said, "I know you can't sit still. Here, the fishing rod is ready for you."
When Zhou Guo saw this, he had no choice but to pick up the fishing rod obediently. He sat down for a while and sighed three times in succession. It was so boring and there was nothing to chew in his mouth.
Suddenly I remembered that I had not finished eating the chestnuts I picked in the morning, so I took them out and wanted to give a few to the old man, but he was like a wooden man, with no movement except his eyeballs, so I had to eat them myself.
The food makes a crunchy sound.
The old man finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to scold.
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, "Hey, Master, I got it, I got it, a fish has taken the bait."
When they got up and took a look, their eyes lit up. It was another shadowless fish, weighing six or seven kilograms!
The old man was fuming as he was carrying the net. He had been guarding here for the entire morning, but there was not even a ghost.
Zhou Guo had just sat down and hadn't eaten three chestnuts yet when he caught a fish as soon as he hooked it. It was a shadowless fish. How come the fish in this pond are so bullying?
They bully him because he is old and his eyesight is not good.
Zhou Guo happily threw the fish into the bucket, sat down and started fishing. Seeing the harvest, he no longer felt bored. He ate up the chestnuts in his hand in a few bites and continued fishing honestly.
About a quarter of an hour later, another shadowless fish was caught, which was almost the same size as the previous one.
