In one morning, Li Qingshan, Li Sankui, Dazhuang, Erzhuang, Zhao Hongqi, Li Qingyou, and Li Qingyu, a total of seven people, were busy felling trees and sawing wood. They were sweating profusely, but the wood cut was not enough at all, and they would definitely continue in the afternoon.
"It's time to eat!"
Wang Naixiang came over with a basket and shouted to Li Qingshan and others, and a group of people immediately gathered around.
Today's lunch was a rabbit and a pheasant. However, if we continue to eat like this, we will probably not have much stock at home. We can only eat two or three meals at most. The main reason is that Li Qingshan needs meat so much to practice health-preserving boxing.
If Li Qingshan eats freely, the remaining rabbits and pheasants will only be eaten in a day or two.
This cannot continue.
We have to think of some way to make more meat, electrocuting fish is the best choice, but now the battery alone is not enough, it also needs other components. For example, this battery is a 12v battery, and it is impossible to electrofish. To electrofish, you need to increase the battery to 300v, and then use high-voltage pulses to stun the fish.
Once stunned, the fish underwater will turn their bellies white and float towards the water, but if the electricity is applied for a long time, they will sink underwater.
In addition to the battery, you also need things like a transformer, which can be removed from the radio. In addition to the transformer, you need several other things. In later generations, electric fish will no longer be allowed. Finally, two metal poles were placed on the dip net, and the dip net was pushed toward the water. The fish flipped up directly and were taken into the boat.
Therefore, in addition to batteries, Li Qingshan now also needs some parts. These things can be found at the scrap collection station or repair station if there is a chance. However, he has no money and still owes some money to the supply and marketing cooperative. He also owes 30 yuan to Li Hu.
After the wooden fence is built, get the musk yourself and exchange it for money!
"Brother...meat, meat, meat...!"
On the temporary wooden pier on the small back hillside, the green aroma of freshly cut vegetation was still exuding. Several plates were placed on it, which contained fragrant chicken and rabbit meat. They were seasoned with spices such as heavy oil and star anise pepper.
A group of people were sitting on the ground like this. Li Qingyu slowly picked up a piece of meat with his trembling arms, and his whole body was excited.
How long has it been...!
How long has it been...!
It's been too long since the last time I ate meat. I didn't expect to eat meat from a little turtle named Li Qingshan today.
So cool...!
When Li Qing saw this, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and move towards the meat on the plate, his face full of excitement.
Although Li Qingshan is a bad guy, he is really lucky. He managed to kill so many wild animals. He was really blessed today.
"Papa...!"
However.
Before Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu could put the meat on the chopsticks into their mouths, it was knocked off the chopsticks in Li Qingshan's hand and fell back onto the plate.
"Li Qingshan, what are you doing, you weakling?"
"It's itchy again, isn't it?"
Seeing that the meat they had picked up fell down, Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu immediately glared at Li Qingshan angrily.
"Hey, practice?"
When Li Qingshan saw this, he immediately became interested, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, rolled up his sleeves and said.
"No, don't practice!"
Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu suddenly trembled and screamed in their hearts. They actually forgot that the current Li Qingshan was not the Li Qingshan they bullied casually before, and said with a little embarrassment.
"It's dinner time!"
"If you two don't go home for dinner, why are you staying here with me?" Li Qingshan asked.
"No, Li Qingshan, we work for you, but you don't care about the food?"
"You have to take care of the food no matter what!"
"That is, we work for you for free?"
"It's good that I didn't ask you for wages. What's wrong with eating your meat?"
Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu immediately started to explode. Their eyes kept looking at the chicken and rabbit on the plate, and they swallowed with greed.
"You two are at Carpenter Zhao's house. Do you care about your food?" Li Qingshan chuckled.
Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu looked at each other and immediately stopped talking. In their master's house, they really didn't care about the food. Logically speaking, they had to take care of the food. However, in order to learn the craft, they specifically said not to take care of the food and come home to eat. After all, two mouths are quite powerful. Carpenter Zhao's family can't afford to support them. He has a large family.
"Why, do you have to take care of the food here?"
"Aren't I learning the craft of logging? What's more, you are a favor sent by Carpenter Zhao. Otherwise, why would Carpenter Zhao let you two work for me in vain?"
"Why can't I carry it clearly!"
"Go, go, go home and eat quickly, don't bother me here!"
Li Qingshan immediately rushed to help: "By the way, we will continue to help you in the afternoon. If you don't come, I will tell Carpenter Zhao."
"Tch, stingy!"
"How stingy!"
When Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu saw this, they could only glance at the plate unwillingly and left helplessly.
Wang Naixiang only sent a chicken and a rabbit in total. It was not enough for just a few of them. How could there be any extra for these two people? Every time he thought about the time when these two people bullied him at home, Li Qingshan wanted to beat them up and give them food.
Damn it, these two guys used to steal food and often framed themselves.
As a result, I often quarrel with Li Laotun because I often quarrel with my elders. Part of the reason why I am called a second-rate son is because of this. Once I have this reputation, it will be difficult to find a wife.
"Naixiang, what do you, sister-in-law, and mother have to eat?" Li Qingshan looked at the dishes on the plate and asked.
"We also ate this and left some behind." Wang Naixiang said in a gentle tone.
"Naixiang, go back and tell your mother and sister-in-law that the three of you fry some chicken or rabbits again, and don't be reluctant to eat them. If I go back and find that there are too many chickens or rabbits, I will take one and throw it into the river."
"The legs, heads, and wings of these chickens and rabbits are all here. How could you stay here?"
Li Qingshan urged: "Go back quickly, while it's still early, you can still make it in time for dinner!"
"Sister-in-law Naixiang, please don't lie to our brother Shan in the future. Our brother Shan is very smart." Da Zhuang said with a smile.
After lunch, Li Qingshan and others prepared to rest for an hour and a half before continuing to work.
Try to be busy today and almost finish this wooden fence.
After Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu returned home, they were just in time for dinner. Li Erkui looked at his two sons and said, "What's wrong? Did your master scold you?"
Immediately.
Li Qingyou and Li Qingyu talked about today's events in detail, especially when describing the pheasants and hares. Everyone at the dinner table swallowed secretly, with a glint in their eyes.
That meat, just thinking about it, feels so delicious!
"Dad, can I make a suggestion?" Li Dakui was a little greedy after hearing what his two nephews said, and looked at his father.
"Say!" Li Laotun sat on the main seat and nodded.
"Dad, our family eats vegetarian food every day, and Li Qingshan's family eats meat every day. When it's time to cook, my dear, the whole village can enjoy the smell. This can't go on like this!"
"What do you think the people in the village will say?"
"After Sanfang left our house, life got better and better. He ate meat every day. Our family is not as good as Li Qingshan's family, and not as good as Li Qingshan's little wolf cub."
"Dad, tell me, can you swallow this breath?"
Li Dakui asked.
"Hmph!"
Li Laotun slapped his hand on the table and said with an angry look on his face: "A bunch of wolf cubs are really capable. No matter what, they are all born to me?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at his woman with a guilty conscience.
"Dad, we can't go on like this!"
"I think, how about our family spend some money and go to the countryside to cut some meat and come back to satisfy our hunger? I also need to replenish my health, right?"
Li Dakui looked at his injured position, with a hint of pain on his face.
"You are right, our family cannot let Li Qingshan compete with us!"
"Later, Qingshu!"
"You come to me and get two yuan and go to the countryside to cut the meat. If our family wants to eat, we can eat more. Then we will move the table out and eat outside the door."
"Let the villagers see the life of our old Li family."
"Very good."
Li Laotun gritted his teeth and said.
Two dollars?
That is enough to buy four kilograms of meat, which is not an amount during the holidays. After the whole family looked at each other, they immediately became lively, everyone looked happy, and the cornmeal in front of them tasted delicious.
"By the way, Dad, last time I asked you to introduce my niece to Li Qingshan, are you still going to do it?" At this moment, Li Erkui's wife suddenly said.
"What should I do? Li Qingshan is worthy of this little wolf cub?" Li Laotun said angrily.
"Master, I think this matter must be done!"
After Li Qingshu thought for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"This kid Li Qingshan doesn't need us to push him. He will definitely go to Laolinzi. Is it necessary for us to put more pressure on him to find a wife?"
Li Laotun frowned and asked.
"Master, it's necessary!"
"We can disgust this little wolf bastard!"
"Isn't this little wolf cub close to Wang Naixiang? She's a little widow, a seductive little widow!"
"After the news spreads that Li Qingshan and the second aunt and niece are on a blind date, we will let the second aunt and niece point out that Li Qingshan and Wang Naixiang are living together. By then, Li Qingshan's reputation will be ruined, and he will no longer think about marrying the eldest daughter."
