Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 21 Clearing Obstacles

Zhou Yu tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, and said, "Miss Qin, I brought you out because I acted as a guarantor in front of Master Chen Jiu and Aunt Zhao. I must ensure the safety of the three of you.

"Before, I had no control over whether you went up the mountain alone or how long you stayed there, but now that you've come with me, you must follow my instructions and not act on your own."

After saying that, seeing the soft smile on An An's face, he felt that his words were a bit harsh, and quickly added: "I'm not saying that you can't go up the mountain again, but at least tell me in advance so that I can arrange for someone to go with you.

"Although cannibalism has been eradicated in Tongshutun and surrounding villages, it doesn't mean it's eradicated elsewhere. We must not be careless."

Qin Ying lowered her head to listen to the lecture, then bowed again and said with a blushing face, "I know I was wrong, and I promise I will never do it again."

Aunt Zhong took the basket from Zhao Hu, surprised and delighted: "Is this mushroom? Oh, I can still find mushrooms?

"How much is this? Why is it so sunken?"

"Not much?" Qin Ying glanced at Zhou Yu secretly and whispered, "I dug up some soil where mushrooms grow. It's heavy."

He bowed to Zhou Yu again and left only after getting permission.

This time, An An didn't make a fuss about looking for Zhou Yu. She could tell from Zhou Yu's tone and expression that the handsome uncle was scolding her mother!

Tsk! Even if you are handsome, even if you can help me increase my energy, you can't scold my sweet and soft mother like this!

Ding! Energy +0.5.

An An blinked in confusion, then suddenly grinned. Her mother said that she was her lucky star, so wasn't she also her lucky star?

Aunt Zhong didn't turn over the basket of mushrooms, she just picked it up and put it aside.

Qin Ying picked out a large handful of wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms and handed them to Aunt Zhong: "Please soak them. These are not poisonous and are delicious."

Aunt Zhong couldn't refuse, so she accepted it with a smile.

Zhao Hu came over to help check the mushrooms. Seeing the dirt and wood, he asked hurriedly, "Sister, what are you doing with all this? It's so heavy."

"I want to go back and try to grow mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms," Qin Ying smiled slightly. "If we can, wouldn't we have more food to eat in winter? We can save more food.

"Otherwise, when the harvest is lean, we'll still be hungry.

"How can I have the energy to work if I'm hungry?"

Zhao Hu nodded repeatedly, "As expected of my sister, you always think long-term!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Ying scolded with a smile, "If others hear us, they'll laugh at us!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Zhao Hu said innocently, "If they don't want to hear it, just cover their ears! I didn't ask them to hear it either!"

Qin Ying smiled and shook her head, then after a while she added, "I found a patch of hickory nuts over there, and at first glance there are quite a lot.

"I've marked it," she drew a circle on the ground. "Call a few people later to follow the mark and pick up all the walnuts. If they're not rotten, it'll give you more food."

Zhao Hu agreed and immediately turned around to look for someone.

Soon, he led two people to collect two baskets of walnuts.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and ordered someone to peel the walnuts immediately. He then went to express his gratitude to Qin Ying.

Qin Ying helped Aunt Zhong kill and pluck the chickens. Pheasants cannot be fed and will become thin over time, so it is better to kill them and eat them fresh. As for the pheasant eggs, they were all left for An An.

Aunt Zhong specially put a large pot of water to make chicken soup first. After the chicken soup was ready, she took out the chicken and stewed it again with various vegetables, soaked mushrooms and fungus.

A separate portion of chicken soup without salt was prepared for An An to soak steamed buns in, while the adult portion had more salt in it and could be used to soak rice.

Zhou Yu and others had not eaten such a big meal for a long time. Although each person could only get a small piece of chicken, they were still very satisfied.

Aunt Zhong picked out a piece of chicken breast for Qin Ying, "Chop it up and make porridge for An An. The weather isn't too cold, so these foods won't keep for too long. And a little kid like you can't eat anything too salty, so this is the only way to satisfy your craving."

Qin Ying hurriedly thanked him.

Although the steamed buns soaked in chicken soup that An An ate were not salty, the unprecedented taste still made her very happy.

Seeing her like this, everyone expressed their desire to share their chicken with her.

Aunt Zhong waved her hands and explained the reason, and everyone gave up.

An An ate and drank his fill, burped contentedly, and fell asleep happily in Qin Ying's arms.

The rest of the group was not so idle, so they left Aunt Zhong and Qin Ying behind and went to try to dig a canal.

The process was not smooth.

The section that Zhao Hu and Zhou Yu were responsible for was fine, but other people kept digging up rocks. If they adjusted the route, it would be a lot of trouble, so they suggested stopping the canal digging.

An An woke up, turned on the surveillance camera and took a look. He curled his lips slightly. Alas, these people are really unlucky. They have received some koi bonuses but are still so unlucky!

If the canal digging is blocked, she will not be able to harvest the merit energy smoothly. Is that possible?

So he urged Qin Ying to go over and take a look.

Aunt Zhong was just about to go over and deliver some drinking water, so Qin Ying took over the task.

When Aunt Zhong saw her carrying the child on her back and the water jug on her shoulder, and walking briskly, she couldn't help but smile and nod, thinking that she was such a capable girl.

An An opened his Sky Eye and took a closer look. No wonder it was so difficult. It turned out that the soil on this side of the hillside was very shallow, and there were only stones underneath.

After some calculations, it would cost 0.5 energy to remove the stones underground. Although it was painful, An An still spent the energy.

The people digging the canal suddenly discovered that, as if with divine help, they no longer encountered stones and their speed was greatly increased.

Naturally, their enthusiasm for work was high, and they didn't stop digging until midnight.

Zhao Hu quietly asked Qin Ying, "Sister, why didn't Lord Zhou just go to the village at the foot of the mountain and call for help to dig the canal? Why did he insist on us digging it ourselves?"

"Silly boy," Qin Ying heated up the reserved chicken soup for him and explained softly, "Do you think that what you can think of, Lord Zhou can't think of?

"My guess is that he would first determine the feasibility of digging a canal. If it is feasible, he would also need to determine the route. When he reaches a suitable location, he would also dig a pond like we did in our village.

"We all have food in our bellies and are near a water source, so we can do as much as we can.

"Just wait and see, Lord Zhou will definitely call someone over tomorrow.

"Only when they see with their own eyes that we have actually dug out water and that we have done the hardest work for them will they be motivated."

Zhao Hu didn't want chicken soup, so Qin Ying said that An An's portion had been reserved and the soup would go bad if not finished, so he stopped refusing.

Zhou Yu had good hearing and heard the conversation between the brother and sister clearly. He couldn't help but nod secretly. It was no wonder that Zhao Hu kept praising Qin Ying for her intelligence. She was indeed not bad.

When An An woke up early the next morning, he found that his energy value had increased by 0.2. After a little thought, he realized that it must be the contribution of Zhou Yu and his team who successfully dug a well and dug a canal yesterday.

Alas, the deficit has not yet been made up!

Her breakfast was corn porridge with minced chicken, some chopped vegetables and soaked mushrooms, which was very delicious.
