The ancient river water is different, very clear, Ning Xi looked at the silver fishes while washing his clothes: “What fat fish, why can’t you eat it?”
When she first came here, she thought it was strange. Everyone was so hungry that their faces were disheveled, but there were so many fish in this river, why didn’t anyone find them to eat them? Is there any peculiar custom in this place not to eat fish?
When I was so hungry, I couldn’t care less, I quietly found a place where no one was around to get a fish and cooked it on a fire. I was about to eat it, and was suddenly beaten down by someone: “Damn it, you girl is hungry. Are you crazy, you dare to eat fish!”
Ningxi looked up and saw that it was Aunt Huang from the village. She was usually a nice person, and she would secretly stuff Ningxi with more food at home, so Ningxi still felt close to her in her heart. : “Auntie, why can’t you eat this fish!”
“Fish is poisonous, and it will kill people if you eat it. Everyone in the village knows it, don’t you know?”
“Oh, I forgot.” Ning Xi was secretly shocked. He was poisoned by eating puffer fish in his previous life. However, she is a person who cherishes her life, and she will never do things that are not completely sure.
The puffer fish that poisoned her to death in her previous life was made by her own hands. She has absolute confidence in her own craftsmanship, and the internal organs of the eyes of the puffer fish that she took down were also clearly counted. It is said that it is impossible to be poisonous, but she was poisoned when she tried it, which is really baffling.
“Ah, what a sin, bullying you, a child without a mother, your father is really, for so many years, I don’t care about it…” Aunt Huang sighed to herself.
“Auntie, do you know where my father is?” Ning Xi was shocked. She always thought that she was an orphan without a father and mother. So there was a biological father?
“I heard that you are doing business in the city to make a lot of money!”
Thinking of her father who made a lot of money in the city, Ning Xi sighed again, how could there be such a cruel person? Fortunately, he was not the original Ning Xi, otherwise he would definitely die of grief.
The fish in the river are not afraid of people at all. They dared to bump into her hands. Ning Xi grabbed a fatty fish and said viciously to the open mouth of the fish: “Come again, come again, I will put you Slaughtered and braised!”
“And you, if you make boiled fish, you will make steamed fish…” Ning Xi, on a whim, pointed to the fish in the river, “Pickle fish, pine nut fish, fish head tofu Soup, drunk carp, sweet and sour fish, spicy fish, fish head with chopped pepper…”
“It turns out that there are so many ways to eat fish!” A clear male voice sounded behind him, making Ning Xi’s hands tremble in fright. When I came back, I looked at the soaked trousers and looked back in dissatisfaction: “Who…”
The second half of the sentence is choked in the throat and can’t be said. Ning Xi swears that the stars she has seen in her previous life are not as good-looking as the man in front of her.
Ning Xi stared blankly at this man in a wheelchair, his plain white robe fluttering in the wind, there was a feeling that I wanted to ride the wind back home, beauty is beautiful, but a little less popular, It’s a pity that he’s a lame person, and he’s too thin, so he wouldn’t be in good health. Ning Xi secretly regretted that she still prefers sunny and healthy men. But this man is really good-looking, how can there be such a good-looking man?
Ning Xi completely forgot that she was just a skinny little girl who looked like she was less than ten years old. She looked like she was almost drooling with dementia and it was very incongruous. The man in front of her seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction: “You just said so many ways to fish, but is it true?”
Ningxi hasn’t recovered from the shock of beauty, but she dumbly followed his words and replied, “Of course it’s true.”
“Have you seen it with your own eyes?”
“Not only have I seen it, I have eaten it, but I can also make it!”
The man laughed and said, “You are so arrogant at such a young age.”
“Who is arrogant, if these fish are not edible, I can make them on the spot for you to see.”
The man frowned lightly: “Can this fish be eaten?”
“Yeah, poisonous.”
“Who said that?”
“The people in the village say this, and also, the birds and beasts on the mountain here are all poisonous. I think you are quite raw. You are a foreigner. You must remember not to eat meat when you are here with us. Ah!”
“Haha!” The man laughed instead, “I also said that you are not arrogant. Listening to you, you have never eaten meat in your life, and you said you can cook fish.”
Ning Xi was so choked up by him that he suddenly remembered who he was. When he thought about it seriously, maybe his predecessor had really never eaten meat in his life! Depressed, she shook the wet clothes in her hands: “I haven’t eaten it if I haven’t eaten it, so what!” The meat here can’t be eaten, and it’s not her fault!
“Hahahaha!” The man seemed very happy, “The meat is all poisonous and can’t be eaten, haha, I laughed so hard, what an ignorant countryman!” After saying that, they clapped their palms, and the two men in black whispered silently. The ground appeared behind him, lifted the wheelchair and walked away at once.
“What kind of person, so vile!” Ning Xi looked inexplicably in the direction he was going, “You look amazing, you have the ability to grow a pair of healthy legs!”
Is it funny? Ning Xi also thought it was funny at first, the green mountains and green waters here, the environment is absolutely pure and natural and pollution-free. But the villagers definitely didn’t look like they were joking. She would rather starve to death than touch half a mouthful of meat, and she didn’t dare to take it lightly. As a precaution, she specially caught a hare on the mountain, killed and cooked the meat and fed it to the dog in the village. As a result, the next day, the dog really died, and the dog owner cursed at the village entrance for a long time.
She didn’t believe it yet. The next day, she did the same thing and fed another dog to eat meat, but that dog died too. For this reason, there were rumors of a monster in the village. It is said that the monster eats dog brains. A dog dies without a brain.
Ningxi gradually believed that the meat in the village was inedible. As for the world outside the village, she hadn’t been there yet, so she didn’t know.
I hastily washed the clothes and quilts, dragged the basket and walked back. Ning Xi was thinking about the dry goods in the abandoned kiln on the mountain. He was almost able to keep a basket full, and when it was full, he could take it Going to Zhuangzi to exchange money, a basket of dry goods can be exchanged for 30 cents at most. It didn’t take long, and she saved almost 200 cents with this, and it has been buried in the abandoned kiln. She has to go there every day. Take a look, or you won’t worry.
As soon as he came to this world, Ningxi found that the people’s recipes here are very monotonous. It’s fine if you can’t eat meat. She went to the mountain to see it, except for small animals running around, all kinds of mushrooms and fungi were everywhere, but they just didn’t eat them.
She tried to pick some mushrooms and fungus back, and planned to add them to the dishes. Unexpectedly, the aunt found out and beat and scolded her severely, as if she deliberately wanted to poison the whole family of their Ning family. Similarly, after verifying that these things are indeed not poisonous, every time I go up the mountain, I find a broken pot to cook and eat. Although there is no oil and no salt, it is tasteless, but it is always better than being hungry, right?
Ningxi is a person who knows how to plan ahead. When he was full, he thought about what to do when he couldn’t find anything to eat in winter, so while the weather was good, he picked some mushrooms, dried them, and stored them. This kind of thing, only when it is dried in the sun, will it produce a special fragrance, which is more delicious than fresh.
One time when picking mushrooms, Ningxi accidentally met another person who was also picking mushrooms. He was dressed in neat green clothes and looked more decent than the villagers at the bottom of the mountain. It is a servant in the villa, named Qingshan. These days, the villa has a distinguished guest, and the owner of the villa asked him to go up the mountain to find some fresh mountain goods to entertain the guests.
“The people in your villa also eat these things?” Ning Xi asked in surprise.
Qingshan nodded: “Of course it’s food.” Ning Xi happily chatted with him as if he had found a confidant, only to realize that although the people in the villa also eat these things, they usually eat very little, mainly because I can’t do it, and it’s tasteless and tasteless, and it’s not delicious.
Ningxi can understand this. Since she came to this world, she has found that the people here basically have no cooking skills. It was ruined by them, not to mention the few ingredients that are so lackluster!
But it is said that this distinguished guest in the villa came with the chef this time, and the dishes made were all delicious, so the owner of the villa went everywhere to collect ingredients for the guest.
As a senior foodie and a super chef, Ning Xi knows the ingredients that most people can’t compare with. Now he is eager to show Qingshan all the food he knows that can be eaten, but Qingshan is very cautious, it’s not him Resolutely do not touch.
Ningxi thought for a while, ran back to his abandoned kiln, grabbed a handful of dried shiitake mushrooms, and put them under Qing Shan’s nose: “Ask me, is it particularly fragrant?”
“Really, it smells so good, what is this?”
“It’s the kind of mushroom you’re picking now, but it’s dried.”
Qingshan asked suspiciously about the shiitake mushrooms she had just picked. There was only a fishy smell of mud, and there was no smell like the smell in her hands: “No, it smells different at all!”
“Then take a closer look, is the shape the same? This thing is only fragrant after drying.” Ning Xi broke a small piece and threw it into his mouth, “If you can eat it, no It’s going to pit you!”
Qingshan carefully compared it, then tasted it himself, and suddenly became excited: “Do you still have this thing? Give it to me, and I will give you the money.”
Ningxi had already saved most of the basket, so she simply took it all over. Qingshan gave her twenty cents to buy it. She didn’t know the price of things in this world, but usually the aunt and the others seemed to read both pennies and pennies. It was quite heavy, and she didn’t have to struggle to get these things, so she happily accepted them now.
A few days later, he encountered this green mountain again. He told Ningxi that the distinguished guests liked dried shiitake mushrooms very much. He asked Ningxi to take the dried shiitake mushrooms to the villa in the future. He accepted them all. Found a way to make money.
For the future, Ning Xi is not willing to live in this small mountain village for the rest of her life. She has not yet figured out what she wants to do. She should be able to make a living by cooking. No matter what, she needs capital, so she wants to What you do is to save your first pot of gold.
