Chapter 124 What Reason Do You Need to Hit Me? (Revised and Completed)

Chapter 124:

Bai Nuo raised his hand and flicked his wrist, sending several small pebbles flying towards the leisurely little creatures strolling in the mountains.

"Puff puff puff!"

A series of sounds of something breaking through the air rang out, and several pheasants instantly tilted their heads and fell to the ground.

Bai Nuo walked over, picked up one of them, and put the rest into his spatial storage. He would release the remaining pheasants into the mountains after they woke up.

Although the vast forest in her space was initially devoid of any life, consisting only of green plants, trees, and some wild Chinese herbs, it was still possible to raise living creatures. She could release a few pheasants to allow them to reproduce.

If you encounter any interesting little creatures while exploring the mountains, you can let them roam freely in the space and forage for food.

"Yes, let's go home!"

"good!"

The system happily responded and obediently flew back to Bai Nuo's side from beside a wildflower, only returning to its system space after they got back to the educated youth compound.

After returning home, Bai Nuo first put the weeds she had gathered on the drying rack to dry. She then looked at the small vegetable gardens on both sides. They had just been watered with diluted spring water from the space, and the two patches of black soil were now moist. She estimated that tender shoots would sprout in a few days.

After tidying up the backyard, Bai Nuo carried the wooden bucket containing grass carp back to the front hall. She first washed her hands and face with water, then went to the small changing room to change into a comfortable set of home clothes. She threw the clothes she had taken off back into her space and asked 925 to take them to the laundry room.

The loungewear she was wearing was something she made when she was bored in her previous life. It consisted of a loose, simple white long-sleeved pullover and a pair of straight-leg light gray trousers, both made of pure cotton, simple and comfortable.

After changing her clothes, she let her hair down and tied it into a small bun on top of her head before going back to the front hall to start making dinner.

Yesterday, Aunt Cuie not only gave her a bag of vegetable seeds, but also put a lot of vegetables in her basket.

After the ground thaws in March, most families start tending to their private plots. Vegetables with short growth cycles, such as lettuce and garland chrysanthemum, are planted in March and April.

The new educated youth, Bai Nuo and the others, who were not allowed to cook on their own, are only now starting to plant their own vegetables. If they don't go and exchange them, they won't have anything to eat.

First, rinse the rice, then place the small aluminum pot on the small stove next to the water tank, and only then do you begin to process the grass carp.

She had learned a few fish dishes from the head chef of the imperial kitchen, but she also knew how to steam grass carp.

Thinking about it this way, what she learned from a master chef alone certainly wouldn't satisfy her appetite. It seems she can't skip tonight's online cooking class.

After steaming the grass carp, Bai Nuo took out two tender cucumbers. Aunt Cui'e had put four cucumbers in her basket, which she had stored in her spatial dimension to keep them fresh after returning. Now, they looked as if they had just been picked from the field.

Wash the cucumber, then smash it with a knife to separate it into segments and put them into a blue-rimmed porcelain bowl. Add a small red chili pepper, pour in various seasonings, and mix well.

Next, we just need to wait for the rice and steamed fish to be ready before we can have dinner.

There was already some commotion outside, followed by the sound of loud laughter coming from the front of the alley. Bai Nuo quickly washed her hands, leaned out of the front window, and looked over curiously.

"Sister Flower, what's wrong?"

When Chao Xianhua saw Bai Nuo, she immediately ran over with a gloating expression, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Nono, let me tell you, we just finished work and heard that the team leader arranged for someone to take an oxcart to the county hospital to pick up Wang Mudan and Liu Xier this afternoon, and guess what happened?"

Bai Nuo blinked, and just by looking at Chao Xianhua's tone, she knew that the two of them must have had a rough time on their way back.

However, not wanting to dampen the sisters' enthusiasm, Bai Nuo tactfully asked, "What's wrong?"

"puff!"

Chao Xianhua couldn't help but burst out laughing. After catching her breath, she continued, "Unexpectedly, on the way back, the oxcart's wheels were punctured by two nails that someone had dropped on the road. In addition, the oxcart was in disrepair, and a plank on the side of the back cart broke off. Both people on the cart fell off. If the driver hadn't heard the noise, the two people would probably still be lying on the road when the oxcart returned."

“That’s not even the worst.” Sun Yuxi added from the side, laughing as she said, “Grandpa Zhao was busy, so another uncle who knows how to drive a cart went to pick them up. He had a fever when he was young, which made his hearing not very good. When those two people fell out for the first time, the oxcart had already gone dozens of meters before the uncle heard what was behind them. When the uncle came back, he said that the screams were terrible.”

After finally getting the two of them back onto the oxcart, halfway there, something happened to the old ox in the village. Suddenly, it howled and ran forward like a madman. The driver was fine, but Wang Mudan and Liu Xier, who were sitting in the back, were thrown off by the sudden movement.

"Pfft!" Sun Yuxi's tone was relatively calm when she talked about the beginning, but when she got to this part, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Chao Xianhua saw that her sister was about to give up, she quickly took over again, and all she could do was laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, Nuonuo, you have no idea. When I came back just now, I heard the carriage driver talking about this, and I was almost bursting with frustration."

The second time, the driver couldn't pull the old ox anymore and had to let it run back to the team. Only then did he tell the team leader that the two people had fallen off the oxcart halfway. Hahaha, and then, hehehe, the team leader's face turned almost black. He turned around and wanted to send someone to go and pick them up on the road, but the old ox was stubborn and refused to move. It insisted on going back to the cowshed.
