Baiyun Xi carried the basket on her back and crossed a mountain col before turning to the Qingshui River. She looked at a group of ducks swimming in the river. As soon as she got closer, the ducks fluttered their wings and flew away, leaving a patch of water, just like drizzle.
Yes, he slapped her in the face.
Baiyunxi wiped his face with a handkerchief, looked at the gray duck flying away, and sighed.
It turns out that wild ducks really can fly!
Where there are wild ducks, there must be wild duck eggs. Although she can't catch ducks, she can go up the river and look for duck nests to see if there are any duck eggs to pick up.
In the memory of the original owner, people in the village often picked up wild duck eggs. It was not unusual at all, it was a common thing.
Some people come back from the fields and walk along the river. If they are lucky, they can pick up a few fresh duck eggs to add to their dishes.
Baiyun Xi looked at the stream upstream, hesitated for a moment, and then carried the basket up.
Now is the busy farming season. Everyone is busy harvesting and has no time to hang out. She can come over and try her luck.
Walking up the river, when they reached a shallow shoal, Baiyun Xi saw no one in front of him, so he took off his shoes and socks and went into the water with a basket on his back.
The river water is cool, just up to the ankles, and some egg-dropping ducks like to lay their eggs in this shallow water.
Baiyun Xi bent down, stretched out her hand and groped in the river for a while, and sure enough, she touched a green-skinned duck egg.
I looked it up to the sun and shook it again. It didn't turn yellow, which proved that it was freshly laid duck eggs.
While touching the duck eggs, Baiyunxi also discovered screws.
It really takes no effort to get it. People in the village don't eat this stuff because they think it's troublesome. Occasionally they take some home and smash it to feed the chickens.
As long as you pay attention, there are surprises everywhere.
After a while, I touched the second duck egg...
After she passed through the shoal, she found ten duck eggs and two or three kilograms of screws in the basket.
The screws in Qingshuihe are already very clean. After a day of spitting out the dirt, cleaning it, and frying it with spicy pepper, it is super delicious.
The indispensable companion for frying snails is perilla leaves, which are everywhere along the river. They are ready-made seasonings. You can just pinch a handful and take them back to eat.
Baiyunxi put on her shoes and socks, picked up the tender perilla leaves, and pinched half of the perilla leaves. It was a pity that no one would eat such tender perilla leaves. I happened to have some lean meat at home, so I went back to make some perilla sauce mixed with rice.
, is also good.
After packing up, Baiyunxi walked home along the Qingshui River. In the distance, he saw the wooden bridge at the head of the village, surrounded by a bunch of people, noisy.
When she saw Baiyuntang in the crowd, she subconsciously stopped and did not move forward.
At this moment, Bai Yuntang was grabbed by the collar by a middle-aged man and shouted loudly away.
"My surname is Bai, please touch your conscience. My sister can't stand you anymore, so I'll break up. I thought your clan was having a conflict, so I just need to take him back after a while. It's only been a few days, and you're going to be with me next door."
The little widows in the village are so tired of being together that they treat us like monkeys?"
"Sun Mao, I advise you not to act recklessly. Since the divorce letter has been given to Mrs. Sun, there will be no relationship between us. From now on, the marriage of a man and a woman will have nothing to do with each other. Are you kidding me?"
Bai Yuntang shook off Sun Mao's hand and replied with a stern face,
"You used to be my uncle, and I tolerated and respected you. But now we are just familiar strangers. You'd better be polite to me. You have to think carefully about doing anything wild in our village.
