The siblings sat by the river, one eye on the duck and the other on the net.

Although pigs and ducks could be sold, they would have to wait until they grow up. At the end of the year, the ducks could be fattened up, but the pigs would probably have to be raised until next year.

"

"It's that old turtle again!" Shen Shu said as he took out the old turtle, and was about to throw it back into the river.

"Hey, don't throw it!" Shen Shiliu's fat body also became more flexible now as she quickly took back the old turtle.

Shen Shu was puzzled, and asked: "What do you want this thing for, you can't even eat it!"

"Can't eat? "What?" Shen Shiliu was puzzled. When could this thing not be eaten?

Shen Shu frowned: "This thing's smell is too strong. Our mother had stewed soup in the past and almost threw away the pot. Did you forget?"

Shen Shiliu had really forgotten about it, but it had a fishy smell because it couldn't be made. If it wasn't made properly, this item would be so nutritious, it would be a pity to throw it away!

"It's fine, I'll think of a way to make it. I guarantee that it won't be fishy!" Shen Shiliu patted his chest and guaranteed.

Seeing that his sister had thought of something, Shen Shu did not stop her. She poured all the fish and prawns in the net into the bucket and went back to drive the ducks.

Shen Shiliu was happy, this son of a b * tch would cost more than a few hundred yuan in the supermarket, the people in this place really didn't know what was good for them!

Mrs. Zheng was washing her clothes at home, seeing that Shen Shiliu was bringing back an old turtle, she asked: "Why did you bring this thing back? It's strange and heavy! "

"Not sinking!" "When I do it later, mother, you will know that no matter how much more of it there is, it won't sink any deeper!" The Shen Shiliu laughed and said, then he found a basin and first put the Old Turtle in, then sprinkled some salt in the water, allowing the thing to spit out sand.

Mrs. Zheng did not know what Shen Shiliu wanted to do, she could only follow her lead, but her culinary skills seemed to be better than hers without a teacher, so she was relieved to have Shen Shiliu do the same.

Shen Shiliu estimated that the time was about right. The turtle shelled fish had to be stewed, it took up a lot of time, so she rolled up her sleeves and started to clean up.

The turtle directly knocked it out with its club to prevent it from biting its finger. When the turtle felt dizzy, Shen Shiliu placed the thing on her back towards the ground and stepped on it. Then, she used her hands to pull at his head and easily took off its shell.

"Mother …" "I'll go to the fields first …" Shen Shu was shocked by his sister's violent actions. He decided to leave the women's work alone and left with the hoe.

Shen Shiliu took out a kitchen knife and smoothly opened her stomach. She took out all of the intestines and belly and then washed them clean with clear water.

The wild turtle was very fishy. She massaged the meat with salt and vinegar and then smeared it with ginger and pepper salt. The first step was complete.

"Mom, I'll help you!" Shen Shiliu walked forward. Because of the fight with Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Zheng's hands had been damaged a few times. Although the wounds had already started to scab, it was still very slow.

"No need, mother can do it!" Mrs. Zheng knew that his daughter was distressed and happy in his heart.

"Let me do it. I'm strong, so I won't be tired!" Shen Shiliu took the place and rubbed it as he spoke.

Shen Shiliu had washed and dried his clothes. When she came back, the turtle was pretty much pickled too, so she started to cut them up. Some were thin and some were thick.

"Aiyo, my weird, you can even stew this kind of smell from this old turtle?" Mrs. Zheng did not believe it!

Shen Shiliu smiled as she scooped a bowl for Mrs. Zheng and said, "Mother, try it!"

Mrs. Zheng blew at it first, then scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth.

The soup was rich and fragrant, with a hint of spiciness in it. There was no earthy smell in the soup!

"Alright!" Mrs. Zheng praised it as she scooped another spoonful of meat, coincidentally it was a turtle's claw, and the muscles and tendons in its mouth were all bulging.

Mrs. Zheng drank a bowl of it in one go. Before she finished it, Shen Shiliu hurriedly scooped a big bowl and took out the pastries that were inside the pot for her mother to taste.

"What a god! You want to eat too? Let's go get dinner after you're done!" Mrs. Zheng said. A family would have to eat this good stuff!

When the painful time came, no matter how well she did, she could only taste the food a few times and didn't dare to eat too much. Otherwise, losing weight would be considered a waste of effort.

"I'll go and bring father some food!" Shen Shiliu packed two of them in bamboo baskets, and the other one was for Shen Shu.

Shen Shiliu went to the Ancestral Hall, which was about to be completed. After everyone finished eating and took care of themselves, they sat down to chat, just in time to see Shen Shiliu deliver their food.

"Today, this smell is really fragrant. I can smell it even before the cloth is lifted!" Shen's Father laughed and said.

Shen Shiliu took off the cloth, and the smell was extremely fragrant. It was already hungry at noon, and those family members who did not come to deliver the food were already salivating.

"I stewed the old turtle I caught in the river!" Shen Shiliu said as he handed over the pancakes. When Shen's Father heard that it was an old turtle, he didn't think that it would taste good, but after eating a mouthful, his eyes lit up. Was the old turtle in the river outside the village really like this?

In the future, you don't need to go to a county city to buy meat as an offering. A catty of meat would earn you twenty gold coins, so you have saved up a lot of money.

The people at the side were all greedy to death. Shen's Father was enjoying her meal, eating a piece of cake and drinking a mouthful of turtle soup. She was simply too beautiful.

"Uncle Shen, is it delicious?" The younger son of the same village elder, Liu Zheng, walked over, his eyeballs almost falling out of their bowls.

"Delicious!" After Shen's Father finished speaking, he finished the last bit of the soup, and it could be considered that he was satisfied.

Shen Shiliu took out a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of fried peanuts from inside and gave it to Liu Zheng: "These are my fried peanuts, eat!" After saying that, she gave some to her uncles.

This village usually ate boiled peanuts, and they had never eaten this kind of fried fruit before. Biting it into their mouths tasted sweet and crisp, as they asked Shen Shiliu how this thing was made.

"Even if it's fried, after that, wrap it in salt and sugar. Anyone who likes salt doesn't need to put sugar in it!" The Shen Shiliu was not stingy with her instructions, she did not hide a single fried peanut. Most likely, the women in the village would understand after eating it once, why she was so stingy.

"Delicious! Sister Pomegranate's cooking skills are even better than my mother's!" Liu Zheng giggled after he finished speaking.

Shen Shiliu also did not reply. With a faint smile, she packed the bamboo basket and returned home.

In the afternoon, Shen Shiliu took a bamboo stick and followed Mrs. Zheng to create a basket. When the bamboo piece was roasted, it would bend easily and as soon as it was laid out, she would use a willow branch to circle around the basket, and very quickly, a bamboo basket would be made.

"Will the basket disperse?" The Shen Shiliu asked. Although the willow branch was soft and good, it should be easy to break, right?

Mrs. Zheng laughed: No, once the willow branches have dried up, it will become sturdy, and I won't be afraid of it breaking!

Shen Shiliu looked at the willow branch and pondered for a moment. She felt like she wanted to remember something, but she couldn't think of the main point.

The Chao Xia Village was not considered big. Five miles south was Anyang County. The people in the surrounding villages wanted to set up camp in Anyang County.

Once Shen Shiliu entered the city, there were many people who laughed at him. Shen Shu's expression was not good, and her hands were clenched into fists.

"Brother, don't be angry. If you're angry at this, it'll seem like I care about it. I don't care at all!" The Shen Shiliu told Shen Shu that he was afraid that Shen Shu would cause trouble later on.

Who said she didn't care? If she didn't care where she could get hungry and not eat, she would definitely lose weight!

The two of them strolled along the street, but there wasn't much time, most of their time was wasted on the road, Shen Shiliu had to rest after walking for a mile …

"pomegranate, what do you want to see in the county?" Shen Shu asked.

Shen Shiliu said: "I want to find a way to earn money!"

Shen Shu sighed, he did not know how the Shen Shiliu would torture him.

Anyang County was rather big and had a large population, so Shen Shiliu couldn't just stroll around the entire county. In the end, she said, "Brother, you always come to the county city, where do you have so many people?"

"Let's go to the south of the city. We sell everything, and we usually go to the south of the city as well!" Shen Shu said as he led Shen Shiliu towards the south side of the city.

The streets to the south of the city were indeed filled with people. The sun shone onto the noisy market, and the sounds of bustling activity could be heard.

"Bro, I've thought of something. What can we do to earn money!" When Shen Shiliu saw the market, she knew where she should be exerting herself.
