Chapter 590 This Perseverance Is Truly Unmatched
Boiling water is needed to process the pheasant, so Wen Xi hurried to boil water. Then Qin Mi was responsible for processing the prey. After plucking the pheasant's feathers, Qin Mi took the pheasant and hare to the stream to process them.
Qin Mi first prepared a pheasant and gave it to Wen Xi, asking Wen Xi to apply seasoning on it and grill it with the fish later. The pheasant meat was relatively tough, so it tasted good when grilled.
After Wenxi returned, he started to make a fire and roast fish and pheasant. Soon the fragrance wafted through the mountains. Fortunately, they were in a valley, several hours' walk from the foot of the mountain, and generally no one would come here.
After Qin Mi finished processing the pheasant and hare, he came back and sat next to Wen Xi. He took the pheasant from Wen Xi and said, "Xi, you go and rest. I'll roast it!"
Your hands will get sore from holding a pheasant weighing one or two pounds for a long time.
Wen Xi sat next to him and just looked at Qin Mi. The man's focused look was really charming.
Qin Mi felt Wen Xi's gaze and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Wen Xi was paying more and more attention to him, which meant that she cared about him more and more. His efforts finally paid off.
After the roast chicken was ready, Qin Mi broke off a chicken leg and handed it to Wen Xi, "Xi, eat it, be careful, it's hot."
"Thank you." Wen Xi took the chicken leg and took a bite. The chicken leg was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the juice inside was very fragrant. "Brother Qin, your cooking skills are really good. This pheasant is roasted to perfection."
"It's all the experience accumulated over many years of work." Qin Mi said, "When I was working before, I just ate whatever I could find outside. Over time, my skills improved."
Qin Mi looked at Wen Xi with a deep gaze, "But it's still not as perfect as Xi."
Wen Xi was very embarrassed. Her hands were greasy, so she gently kicked Qin Mi with her foot. "Can you be more serious? Can I compare my cooking skills with yours?"
Qin Mi smiled, pulled off a chicken wing and started eating.
The two men shared a roasted chicken and ate the roasted fish. After packing up, Qin Mi went to fetch some water and poured it on the ashes, fearing that any remaining sparks might cause something bad.
Then the two of them went down the mountain hand in hand.
Seeing Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue at home, Wen Xi handed them the backpack and said, "We caught pheasants and rabbits today. You decide what to eat for dinner and then rub the rest with salt. I'm going to rest for a while."
Wenxi didn't take a shower because she had to make dinner later. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to take a shower again in the evening. Wenxi fetched a basin of well water, washed her hands and face, and her whole body felt much more comfortable.
Wen Xi drank a glass of boiled water, rested for a while, and then went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Shen Jiaojiao chose to eat pheasant, so Wen Xi peeled a few potatoes and made potato stewed chicken in the evening.
After cooking the rice and stewing the pheasant, Wenxi took the basket to the yard to pick vegetables. He picked a whole basket of eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, cowpeas, etc.
In the evening, I made stir-fried bacon with green peppers, braised eggplant, and tomato and egg soup.
After dinner, it was dark, and Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out. Although Wen Xi wanted to go out and collect the crabs and fish that he had released two years ago, he didn't say much to Qin Mi, so Wen Xi didn't go out tonight.
She decided to go out and collect the crabs and fish she raised starting tomorrow night. Since Qin Mi was on vacation today, he would be late when he came back tomorrow night. He would be able to finish his own business between the time he got off work and when he got home.
Because the distance from the county town is really far, even driving takes a lot of time. Even in the 21st century, men working in the county town would not drive home every night, but would choose to rent a house in the county town. However, Qin Mi comes back every night no matter how late it is. This perseverance is really unmatched.
After taking a shower, Wen Xi sat on the bed and read a book. Qin Mi came back from taking a shower and sat next to Wen Xi. He knew Wen Xi and wanted to help her find a job, but Wen Xi refused on the grounds that she would have no freedom at work.
So Qin Mi didn't talk about work anymore. Even if Wen Xi didn't work for the rest of her life, he could still support her. His income could definitely support her lifelong eating, drinking and having fun.
Although Wen Xi was unwilling to work, she was also very motivated and read books every day. Although Qin Mi was not clear about her intentions, he did not say much.
As long as she doesn't leave him, he will support her no matter what she does.
Wen Xi put down the book in her hand and leaned into Qin Mi's arms. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt particularly safe. "Brother Qin, what if we are separated in the future?"
She will go to university in Beijing and develop herself in Beijing in the future, while Qin Mi will work in Kaiming County. Even if he wants to move up, it will be in Heyuan City, which is still several days' train ride away from her home.
Qin Mi put his arm around Wen Xi's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution when the time comes, but I will never separate from you, Xi. Distance will not be an obstacle between us."
Wen Xi nodded, "Brother Qin, I won't leave you either."
When the time comes, she will start her own business and train some capable assistants so that she doesn't have to do everything herself and can travel around.
The two of them stayed close to each other until Wen Xi felt sleepy, and then Qin Mi went back to his room to sleep.
The next night, when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out, Wen Xi also took her backpack and went out. She went to the lotus pond first because she also raised crabs and fish there.
Later, every night Wenxi rode her electric bicycle to various ponds to collect the things she had raised before. She only picked out the big ones and left the small ones, letting them continue to grow. She didn’t care who got the cheapest ones in the future. Anyway, she was just collecting the rewards for her past efforts!
The next morning, Wenxi went to the river bend. She threw the soaked stones everywhere. After a while, she saw fish and shrimps floating on the water.
Later, someone came to the river bend and found a large number of fish and shrimps floating on the water surface of the river bend. They hurried to find Captain Qian. Captain Qian remembered that such a thing had happened before, so he quickly arranged for people who could swim to go into the water to catch fish and shrimps. This time, they caught a large number of fish and shrimps again.
After all, the fish and shrimp were unconscious due to lack of oxygen, so no one was sure they could be eaten. They waited until the fish and shrimp had recovered and were lively and energetic, and Captain Qian was sure that they were fine, then he called everyone to a meeting and distributed the fish and shrimp.
Many units came to the Fengshou Brigade to buy watermelons. Captain Qian naturally became familiar with their purchasing staff. He called them and said that there were fresh fish and shrimps, and asked them if they wanted them. If they did, he would come and transport the fish and shrimps over.
The weather is too hot now. If we distribute all the fish and shrimp to everyone, they will easily go bad if they are not eaten. It is better to keep some food and convert the rest into money to distribute to everyone.
