Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 180 Spring is blooming

"Zhu Zi, these are some wild game you asked me to find. I bought them from a villager. They don't have much at home in this weather. Do you still want more? Let me know when it gets warmer."

After Sha Zhu and his two companions finished their meal and were about to leave, Director Chen came over carrying two cloth bags.

I opened it and saw some wild rabbits inside. These things are everywhere in my own space.

There were also some recently captured, unidentified birds, such as wild ducks, jackdaws, and egrets.

There were even big rats, probably field mice that were hibernating in the fields and were dug up by some villager.

Looking at the contents of these bags, Sha Zhu was quite clueless; they contained either protected animals or Chinese medicinal herbs.

I don't know how these rural people handle and consume their food. Aren't they afraid of catching the flu virus?

There's no way I can back out now. I blame myself for making such a big deal out of nothing, wanting all sorts of wild animals.

After thinking about it, I realized I had divine water in my space, so I wasn't afraid.

They placed the two bags of wild game on their bicycles, said goodbye to Director Chen, and the three of them pushed their bicycles and started their journey home.

Following the directions given by Director Chen, the three found the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus.

Sha Zhu opened one of the bags, took out a wild rabbit, and planned to go back and taste it to see how it differed from the rabbit in his space.

The other rabbits and field mice were all given to Liu Lan and Zhang Long as payment for their help.

The field mouse, Shazhu, was too afraid to eat it. Seeing the two of them so excited, Shazhu tied up the other bag of wild game.

After the two boarded the bus, they rode their bicycles slowly towards Nanluoguxiang.

Back in Nanluoguxiang, the neighbors saw Sha Zhu riding a bicycle with a large bag tied to the back and asked him where he had gone and what was in the bag.

Sha Zhu gave a few perfunctory words and pushed his bicycle home.

Rainy daytime saw a large bag tied to the back of her brother's bicycle and became curious.

He and his playmates chased each other home, watching curiously as his older brother untied the large bag on the back of his bicycle.

Sha Zhu looked at the group of children, who were staring curiously at the bag. He took out a handful of candy from his pocket, gave it to them, and chased the children away. He then stayed home alone to prepare the ingredients.

Sha Zhu first marinated the rabbit meat with cooking oil, salt, pepper and other seasonings.

Then take out a free-range rabbit from the space and do the same thing.

That evening, a table full of rabbit meat was laid out on the dining table, including wild rabbits that had been brought back, as well as rabbits that roamed freely in my own space.

Because the roasted rabbit meat smelled too strong, Sha Zhu roasted it right inside the space and brought it out.

Yu Shui sat at the dining table, happily gnawing on a rabbit leg he had taken from the table with his left hand.

With his right hand, he handed a silly pillar to the roasted rabbit leg that was free-range in the rainwater space.

On the table were also spicy rabbit heads, braised rabbit meat, Kung Pao rabbit cubes, and other rabbit meat dishes.

"Rain, don't just focus on eating, which rabbit leg in your hand is tastier?"

Sha Zhu looked at the rain and asked, "Anyway, I've tried everything, whether it's roasted, braised, from my spatial realm, or wild."

The taste was the same. Could it be that my sense of taste is malfunctioning, or are the animals roaming freely in the space also wild animals?

Hearing his brother's question, Rainwater looked up at him curiously.

These are all roasted rabbit legs, so they must taste the same. Could it be that my brother used different seasonings and wanted to test me?

Yu Shui carefully and slowly savored both rabbit legs, but couldn't detect any difference.

“Brother, they all taste the same,” Yu Shui said, ignoring her brother, and turned into a little foodie again, wrestling with the rabbit legs in her hands.

After finishing her meal, she cautiously asked, "Brother, can I bring a little bit of roasted rabbit meat to school tomorrow?"

“No, are you comparing yourself to another classmate again?” Sha Zhu shook his head and asked Yu Shui.

"No, I just wanted to bring some for Xiaofang. If she doesn't want me to, I won't." After saying that, Yushui turned around and went back to her room.

This little girl doesn't care about anything after she's full.

Starting tomorrow, we'll be eating multigrain steamed buns and cornbread. I bet you're still thinking of bringing them to school, little girl.

After only two days of eating coarse grain buns, she couldn't stand the rain anymore. Feeling wronged, she went to find her second uncle, Cai Quanwu.

Sure enough, once you get used to gourmet food, eating simple, nourishing food feels a bit strange.

To discipline his younger sister, Sha Zhu fed her a variety of foods, including steamed cornbread, corn porridge, and meat.

Sha Zhu noticed that every time he ate cornbread, Yu Shui didn't eat much, didn't make much noise, and most importantly, didn't complain of being hungry anymore.

Sha Zhu understood immediately. He figured that after school, Sha Zhu would first go to the kitchen to see if there was anything good to eat, and if it wasn't to his liking, he would run to the small restaurant to find his second uncle, Cai Quanwu.

Days slipped by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, all things revived, and spring arrived.

On this day, a day off, Sha Zhu, carrying a bucket and holding a fishing rod, slowly walked home with Yan Bugui.

Unlike Yan Bugui, who was dejected, Sha Zhu had two fish in his bucket, each about 30-40 centimeters long and weighing a little over two pounds.

Yan Bugui carried an empty bucket, sighing all the way.

"Zhu Zi, I told you, it would have been much better to ride our bikes to a reservoir further away. Why did we have to go to Shichahai?"

Look at all those people! It's practically a human-packed mess. There are clearly more people than fish. How are they supposed to catch anything?

I don't know what kind of incredible luck you had, kid. So many people around here haven't caught a fish.

How come you were the one who caught two, and both of them were common fish? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.

Sha Zhu thought to himself, "Did I go fishing? I went to join the fun and enjoy the scenery."

Don't tell me you don't believe it; it's the instant the fish is caught.

A crowd gathered around, but no one believed it, which startled Sha Zhu.

Is it really that exaggerated?

There were so many people who didn't want to leave and insisted on buying it. Sha Zhu saw that it was almost time.

After transferring from the spatial dimension to a fish on a hook, they fled with Yan Bugui.

"Zhu Zi, can I talk to you about something?" Yan Bugui said very politely.

"Are you trying to say that your aunt just gave birth to your third child and is short of breast milk, so you want me to give you this crucian carp in the bucket?" Sha Zhu saw through Yan Lao Kou's thoughts at a glance.

Yan Bugui pressed his advantage, "Zhuzi, I've noticed you're getting smarter and smarter, haven't you? This morning, I was very accommodating to you..."

I walked with you to Shichahai, even though I said I didn't want to go. You insisted that we could definitely catch fish.

You did catch a fish, but that's an exception. How many people actually catch fish? I'm coming back empty-handed too.

Yan Lao Kou's air force returned to base today, and he didn't catch any fish, so he feels like he lost out.

Seeing that Sha Zhu had caught two big fish made him feel even worse.

He kept nagging about Sha Zhu the whole way, insisting that Sha Zhu give him the crucian carp that could help with lactation.
