"Lele, are those fuzzy kiwis really that delicious?" Wang Guangying was also a little curious. She had never eaten unripe kiwis before, but her older brother had told her that the fuzzy kiwis were not tasty.
Liu Shile nodded in agreement. She was certain that kiwifruit was delicious, especially for people of this era.
Fruits were so scarce in this era that many remained undiscovered and uncultivated.
She had seen things like grafting on her old phone, but it didn't seem to exist now. Of course, it's also possible that she hadn't been to many places and therefore hadn't seen them.
"If it's really that delicious, then let's find some small fruit trees to plant, so we can have another kind of fruit to eat in the future!" Wang Guangying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately came up with a good idea.
She thought that since this mountain didn't belong to her, it was already good enough that she could come and gather some firewood. It wouldn't be good if someone saw her picking fruit.
Especially considering their family's situation, if someone sees this and reports it to higher authorities, his father will be in serious trouble.
"Huh? How come I didn't think of that?" Liu Shihua patted her head when she heard her say that, and suddenly felt that she was really stupid.
Liu Shile chuckled to herself. It's good that you know. The reason she didn't bring it up was to see if he could think of it. But now that Wang Guangying has brought it up, he's only just realized it.
Well, that's because they don't have any land, and their yard is basically full of vegetables, so he didn't think of that for the time being.
"Who told you not to apply what you've learned from books? Try to think more about reality in your daily life, and you'll be able to think more deeply in the future." Wang Guangjie rolled his eyes at him, having wanted to say something to him for a long time.
But firstly, they had gone out recently, and secondly, they hadn't found an opportunity yet. Now that the opportunity had come, he just spoke up.
Liu Shihua scratched her head a little embarrassedly and nodded, saying, "Brother Jie, you're right. I'll definitely pay attention in the future. By the way, I need to go down the mountain over there to buy some baskets. You guys can chop firewood here first."
All three nodded, and Wang Guangjie even took out a dollar to let him buy some vegetables or something, since eating only meat was getting tiring.
Liu Shihua declined, but eventually couldn't refuse. So he took the money and went down the mountain. He found a market in town and bought several baskets and a carrying basket. He also bought some medicinal herbs before hurrying back into the mountains.
Wang Guangjie and his sister didn't come empty-handed today; they brought some rice, noodles, and seasonings. Although Liu Shile didn't like this kind of rice and found it a bit hard to swallow.
But nowadays everyone eats this, so even if she doesn't like it, she has to eat it, because all the rice mills produce this kind of 2:8 rice. If you want to mill plain white rice, they won't mill it for you.
If you run into someone who takes things too seriously, they might drag you to a court for judgment, saying that wasting food is shameful or something.
Fortunately, the rice harvested from her farm was already hulled, otherwise she would probably be extremely frustrated, having to ask a superhuman to husk the rice for her if she wanted to eat plain white rice.
In the post-apocalyptic world, plant-based and mental-based ability users can easily thresh grains, and ordinary people simply cannot make a living by farming. So, although farming tools exist, they are scarce.
She even spent some time getting some for her own farm, otherwise how would she harvest the grain from those twenty-four plots of land?
It was still early, so they didn't think about eating. Instead, they started chopping firewood. Then, Wang Guangjie and his sister stared blankly at the falling branches.
"Ahem, Guangjie, Ying'er, I'll chop firewood in front, and you guys pick it up and tie it up behind. If we work together, we'll be faster."
Seeing them standing there in a daze, clearly startled by the way and speed at which she chopped firewood, Liu Shile spoke to them directly without any politeness.
"Ah, oh, yes, yes, we'll pick them up right away, we'll pick them up right away." Wang Guangjie came back to his senses, took a deep look at the girl who used to be so insecure, and then started working.
Wang Guangying looked at Liu Shile with great admiration and asked her, "Lele, your skills are really amazing. Can I learn them?" She wanted to be that good too!
Hearing her say this, Liu Shile was a little surprised. She thought Wang Guangjie would ask, after all, Wang Guangjie was a smart man.
However, he didn't ask her anything; instead, he asked Wang Guangying, who blinked her eyes with curiosity and longing.
Well, it's not impossible, but it requires some strength and wrist power. Of course, you can also use a little skill, but that requires practice.
Thinking that Wang Guangying usually protected the original owner of this body at school, Liu Shile nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, you can come and I'll teach you."
As she spoke, she added, "But you have to start by learning to throw pebbles. It's too dangerous to start playing with knives right away. I'm not comfortable with that."
Although she herself wasn't worried about the knives flying around, there were still two others, cough, Zhan Na what kind of trash, so this knife was not something a beginner like Wang Guangying could handle.
Wang Guangying didn't mind at all, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll throw the pebble, I'll throw the pebble. Little Master Lele, please teach me how to throw it?"
She almost immediately switched into learning mode and even called Liu Shile her little master.
Liu Shile almost rolled her eyes at her. Master is Master, what's with adding "little"?
Of course, she didn't actually say anything, but instead seriously taught Wang Guangying how to throw pebbles, how to use her wrist strength so as not to hurt herself, and how to exert the greatest strength.
Okay, this is actually someone else's learning method. She saw others practicing it when she had nothing to do. She has plenty of strength and doesn't need these techniques.
While she was teaching Wang Guangying, Wang Guangjie was also picking up a pebble and throwing it around, but he was quite sensible and didn't delay his work.
So when Liu Shihua returned to the mountain, she saw her own brother picking up firewood with one hand and tossing a small stone around with the other, and oh, and Ying'er, that girl.
He immediately asked curiously, "Brother Jie, Ying'er, what are you doing? Are those pebbles fun?"
Wang Guangying nodded with sparkling eyes, "Yes, yes, it's a lot of fun! Shihua, do you want to try it?"
She then asked curiously, "Brother Shihua, you don't know how to chop wood, do you? Don't you want to learn Lele's wood-chopping techniques?"
Uh, I really didn't learn it. I just came here, picked up some firewood, and left. I didn't learn anything from Lele.
He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that Wang Guangying said it, he really felt like he had been a bit unambitious. If he could learn this skill, he would be quite good at hunting wild chickens and rabbits in the future.
Thinking of the pheasants and rabbits her younger sister had caught with pebbles yesterday, Liu Shihua swallowed hard and said earnestly, "I want to, I want to. Lele, you should teach your second brother too. Once you learn, you won't have to do any more work."
