Chapter 0010: Irrigation of the Peach Orchard and the Small Fish Pot (Part Two)

Grandmother directly pulled Yin Yin towards the small house. Li Futian was not surprised; women in the mountains were all like this. When guests arrived, they did not sit at the table, such was the custom, which Li Feng was not quite accustomed to. "Come, come, eat, don't be polite."

What?

Maple Leaf

Jokingly, Zhang Fengqin looked at the stack of red bills in her son's hand, totaling 12,000. Many people in the village might not be able to save this much in a year working in the town. What is a simple home-cooked meal worth? Zhang Fengqin actually hoped that someone would come every day, as making money seemed too easy.

This is my second uncle, hehe. The wooden man is Zhu Yihang, and next to him is Uncle Zhu Yanbo. The lengthy introduction took quite some time, which made Zhu Yanbo a bit impatient as he waved his hand. "Hurry up and take out the broken board turtle to have a look; this kid has been talking about it in such a strange way, is it really that rare?"

Xiao Hang takes the money

A young man and a middle-aged man got out of the car, both of whom looked unfamiliar; I really do not know them.

Li Feng saw this, took a bowl, and filled it more than half full. "That's enough, that's enough, this child," said the aunt as she brought over the dishes, and upon seeing it, she kept saying it was enough

Li Feng shook his head repeatedly, while Zhang Fengqin beside him shot a few glances at her son. This thing is so precious, how can one casually reveal its location to others? Not to mention his mother, even his grandmother and aunt were giving Li Feng meaningful looks, wondering how this boy could be so foolish as to share such good news with others

The two of you might as well make do with something to eat

Li Feng and his uncle greeted Zhu Yanbo and Zhu Yihang to take a seat, while Zhang Fengqin and his aunt brought over a large basin filled with small mixed fish and corn cakes.

Who are you?

Li Feng pulled the large table out from under the counter, wiped it with a cloth, poured pig ears and pig head meat into a big bowl, took a plate of fried peanuts from the jar at home, and opened a bottle of old white liquor. "Dad, come sit down quickly"

Do not touch

Zhu Yanbo was unceremonious, sitting down to eat immediately. Zhu Yihang could only smile wryly and shake his head, feeling quite embarrassed as it was his first meeting with a madman. "The corn cake is here," Li Feng hurriedly stood up to bring the large basin to the table.

12,000, this is quite a sum of money, this fellow's eyes are rolling around, pulling Li Feng. "Third brother, third brother, where did you find this thing?" "What, do you want to go look for it?" Li Feng could tell from this guy's expression what he was planning.

No additional seasonings are needed, just let it simmer in one pot until it bubbles vigorously. Then prepare a bowl of cornmeal mixed with one-third of flour to form palm-sized cakes, stick them to the edge of the pot, cover with a lid, and add a large fire. Meanwhile, in a smaller pot, steam a pot of rice, accompanied by a few marinated dishes and stir-fried greens. Dining at home does not require much formality.

"Uncle Er, this is what Fengzi caught by himself this morning. Fengzi, I truly admire your fishing skills," Zhu Yihang said with a smile, dipping the corn cake into the fish soup, which tasted absolutely amazing. Zhu Yihang and Zhu Yanbo finished off half of it.

"Local Laobai Gan, pure grain liquor." Li Feng smiled as he poured another glass for Zhu Yanbo. As for Zhu Yihang, who still had to drive, Li Feng had no intention of persuading him to drink. Zhu Yanbo, on the other hand, was quite unreserved, enjoying the pig ears and pig head meat without any hesitation.

Seeing Zhu Yanbo about to take action, Li Feng quickly intervened, as this fellow was quite formidable; it would be quite a feat if he were to pinch his fingers. "You little brat, making a fuss over nothing. Alright, it's a decent piece of a broken shell turtle, I'll take it for 12,000." He pinched it, examined it from top to bottom, nodded, and stood up

"Grandma, Mom, Aunt, please take a seat." Li Feng handed over the chopsticks, but Aunt and Mom, as well as Grandma, waved their hands in refusal. "You all eat, and I will go stir-fry a couple of dishes with your Aunt."

Ah, it's you. Come in quickly. This must be your uncle, right? Although Li Feng was somewhat surprised and puzzled, he thought that a guest is a guest, especially since this person is a wealthy tycoon.

One cannot simply act as if they are indifferent, handing over money and leaving. This is unacceptable, as it reflects a lack of courtesy. When a guest arrives, they should at least be offered a glass of water. "Have a sip of water before you leave"

Do not speak of them anymore; many people in the village have heard about it. Someone drove here looking for the son of Li Fushan. Does this young man really know any remarkable figures? Li Laoer has mentioned that the car is a Mercedes-Benz. According to Li Laoer, the cheapest Mercedes-Benz costs several hundred thousand. Truly wealthy; with so much money, why buy a car? Building a house would be much better.

The husky laughed with a "heh heh," and Li Feng gave the husky a pat. "That area by my peach orchard and pond." This thing is not easy to find; Li Feng searched around the peach orchard with a high-definition camera produced by the rural live streaming studio for quite a while but did not see the second one. As soon as the husky heard about the peach orchard, it took off running, faster than a rabbit.

Li Feng was aware that the commotion caused by Zhu Yihang and his nephew was quite significant. He allowed the two of them to enter the courtyard and initially intended to invite them for tea. However, due to Zhu Yanbo's temperament, he simply stayed in the courtyard. "Oh, this is indeed a rare broken shell turtle. Hmm, its characteristics match those of a wild turtle," Zhu Yanbo squatted down to take a closer look, exclaiming in amazement. He did not expect that there would be broken shell turtles in Dongxiang, as he had never heard of them before.

In the past, during the autumn and winter seasons, when going into the mountains for hunting, hunters would prepare nothing at all. However, even old Bai Gan would carry two bottles with him; a sip of liquor would warm the body, invigorating one for the journey ahead. "Xiao Feng, I heard from your mother that you are doing live streaming, and it's quite profitable," Li Fushan said, taking a sip of his drink, feeling quite pleased.

Do not disturb, do not disturb

Aunt, this is not anything good, it's not enough, I will go buy a few more pounds from Li Laoer and drink heartily. Li Feng did not forget to toast, this old white liquor brewed from the river water is a local specialty, with a high alcohol content, it is quite enjoyable to drink, and the bottles are large, about one and a half pounds each.

Li Fushan and Auntie, along with my mother Zhang Fengqin, were all dumbfounded. Twelve thousand for just one turtle, is it made of gold or silver? Why is it so precious? Beside them, the guide Er Ha was munching on the fried peanuts that Li Fengqin had handed to him. Upon hearing that a turtle costs twelve thousand, he gaped foolishly with his eyes wide open, staring at the eldest. Although this kid is called Er Ha, his brain is just as cunning as his father Li Laoniu, a real little schemer.

The kitchen is currently cooking small miscellaneous fish, corn cakes, a large basin of small skewered fish, dog head pie, small crucian carp, small shrimp, and thorny fish. The thorny fish is marinated with salt, coated with a layer of flour, and deep-fried in oil until it turns a crispy golden yellow. Then, water is added along with slices of ginger, chili, soy sauce, vinegar, and a handful of herbs to eliminate the fishy smell, completing the dish.

"Who is it? It's Er Ha." Li Feng listened to the noise, went out to take a look, and saw that it was Er Ha, the eldest son of Li Lao Er's family at the village entrance. How did this little rascal come to his house? "What brings you here?"

How much does it cost

His uncle is sitting down, Xiao Feng, you accompany your uncle with a drink, the dishes will be ready soon. Zhang Fengqin and Wang Xiulan, the sisters-in-law, were busy in the kitchen, while Li Feng and Li Futian poured the wine and started eating. Grandma brought some dishes and sat beside feeding Yinyin, the little girl timidly glanced at Li Fushan, obediently not causing a fuss at the table, and seemed quite afraid of her grandfather, occasionally stealing glances at the meat in the bowl.

"Oh no, the corn cakes are still cooking on the stove." Mother Zhang Fengqin immediately ran into the kitchen. Fortunately, they were not burnt, but as soon as the lid was lifted, the aroma became even more overpowering, directly invading your nostrils

Li Futian thought to himself, if it were a daily expense of a thousand or eight hundred, that would amount to several tens of thousands in a month. "Three to five hundred is not a small amount either. Your father and mother do not understand these newfangled things, and we don't know what to say. You should think for yourself. When making money, do not spend it recklessly. Your parents have worked hard over the years and are now concerned about your marriage. I will go to the town to work in the next few days and keep an eye out for you. Since you plan to stay at home, it would be wise to find a local bride."

The corn cakes made from the small fish caught in the morning. Li Feng was quite pleased; what about the city folks? Upon catching a whiff of the fragrant corn cakes, weren't they all tempted?

With bare hands to catch fish, Zhu Yihang felt a bit excited. Seeing that his second uncle was in no condition to wake up from the alcohol anytime soon, he decided to go with Fengzi to the pond. As soon as Li Feng heard that Zhu Yihang was going to follow him to catch fish, he did not hesitate. "Alright, I'll let my mom know."

Zhu Yihang is, after all, a young person who is easy to get along with. Moreover, he is somewhat familiar with Li Feng. The aroma wafting through the air has made his stomach growl. In order to catch the snapping turtle, he had been dragged around in the car by his second uncle for an hour or two, and he hasn't even had lunch yet

Zhu Yanbo is quite straightforward, patting his belly. "I am indeed a bit hungry, so I hope you don't mind me intruding."

There is nothing of value at home, just the belongings of our own family

This wine is strong

"Third brother, someone is looking for you," Er Ha pointed at the car behind him. Li Feng took a look and noticed that it was a nice vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle, worth over a million. Li Feng felt a bit puzzled, as he couldn't recall having such a wealthy friend.

Zhu Yihang smiled awkwardly at Li Feng, realizing that his second uncle always acted this way when he encountered something of interest. Li Feng smiled and let him in. His uncle and aunt, as well as his mother Zhang Fengqin and grandmother, were all startled. When did they have guests arriving by car? Hearing the second uncle's words about a car worth over a million, they were all taken aback.

It was alright. Yesterday, we were live streaming trapping wild boars, and quite a few people watched. When Li Feng saw that his uncle's wine cup was empty, he quickly stood up to refill it. However, this thing is just unstable; usually, it only brings in three to five hundred at most, but these past two days have been lucky.

Li Futian greeted Zhu Yanbo, while Zhu Yihang was eating corn cakes. It must be said that although Zhu Yanbo speaks very directly, his personality is quite straightforward, and he did not hesitate to take matters into his own hands. "Hmm, fragrant, this is the taste of grain, and this small fish is also quite good, is it wild?"

Third brother, third brother

How is it, 12,000? If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't? Zhu Yanbo glanced at the family, signaling with his eyes, thinking they were dissatisfied with the price, and slightly frowned.

Li Feng forced a bitter smile, thinking that this matter was most likely instigated by his mother through his uncle. "Let's put this aside for now, uncle, let's have another round." Just as he managed to divert the topic, he had barely set down his wine cup when the sound of a car engine came from outside the courtyard

Crazy person, what delicious food are you cooking? The aroma is absolutely amazing

Seeing the situation, Li Feng realized that Uncle Zhuang would not be able to help with fishing in the afternoon. Upon hearing that Li Feng was going fishing, Zhu Yihang became interested. He had accompanied his family to the fishing grounds a few times before, but back then, they used a net for fishing, which was rather uninteresting.

A large basin of small miscellaneous fish was nearly finished, and a bottle of old white liquor was also nearly empty. Zhu Yanbo and Uncle Li Fushan were now speaking as if they were brothers, clearly under the influence of alcohol. It should be noted that Dongxiang old white liquor is a high-proof spirit, reaching up to 70 degrees, and this large bottle contained over 1 kilogram. Essentially, the two of them had consumed it all, how could they not be drunk? Zhu Yihang found it both amusing and exasperating, thinking about his second uncle.

Zhu Yihang felt quite embarrassed and made an apologetic gesture towards Li Feng. His second uncle's personality was just like that, straightforward and direct, saying whatever came to mind. Li Feng smiled and waved his hand, indicating it was fine. "Alright, 12,000 it is."

The young man smiled and extended his hand. "I am a wooden man"

Zhu Yanbo felt a bit impatient and suddenly his nose twitched. "What is that smell"
