Chapter 74 The lesson is over. Did you understand?
Jiang Li grabbed Hei Duo’s wrist and walked towards the depths of the market, chattering away to him. Hei Duo behind her quietly watched her, his eyes gentle as water, like the brightest star in the sky. The corners of his lips also unconsciously curved slightly, as if bathed in spring breeze. After the two of them bought the fish and meat, they walked towards home with great enthusiasm. They walked quickly on the way back. Fortunately, they arrived home just as the sky was turning dark. They happened to catch Qiao Shen just lighting the fire.
“Xiao Li, you’re back? How did the fruit sell?” Jiang Li smiled and went to Qiao Shen’s side, handing her the money bag. “They all sold out!” Looking at the full bag of spirit stones, Qiao Shen’s eyes widened like copper bells, and they kept shining golden light. Even the shy Xiao Yue came over, staring at the spirit stones in a daze. “So many spirit stones.” She raised her hand and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, “Sister is so amazing.” Hearing their praise, Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh. “You actually earned so many spirit stones! Xiao Li, what price did you sell them at?”
“Five spirit stones per pound.” Hearing this, Qiao Shen was even more stunned, she couldn’t help but swallow. “Five spirit stones per pound? That’s too expensive!” She couldn’t help but wonder, how could beastmen even buy fruit this expensive? “Qiao Shen, you know that fruit is very rare here, plus the fruit we planted is big and good, the price will naturally be higher. Those beastmen who tasted the fruit all praised it after eating it, they all bought it, and even made reservations.” “Really? Are there really so many people buying it?”
Jiang Li nodded seriously and affirmatively, “Of course, look at so many spirit stones, Hei Duo and I can’t conjure them out of thin air.” Qiao Shen looked down at the spirit stones in her arms again, and gradually believed it. “Mother, we also bought some fish and meat, let’s make some good food tonight.” Hei Duo took the fish and meat from the bamboo basket. Xiao Yue saw the lamb chops in his hand and couldn’t help but swallow.
“Brother, it’s lamb chops!” Qiao Shen couldn’t help but frown, and stuffed the spirit stones in her hand back into Jiang Li’s arms. “Xiao Li, why spend so much? The trees are yours, the spirit stones are yours, take them quickly, you’re still raising a child, you should keep more spirit stones for yourself.” Jiang Li smiled and stuffed the spirit stones back into Qiao Shen’s arms.
“Qiao Shen, look at what you’re saying. What’s mine is yours. You’ve been so kind to me, I’ve already considered you as my own family. Besides, Xiao Yue loves lamb, and she’s growing up and needs to supplement her nutrition, she should eat more good food.” “Xiao Li, you…” Qiao Shen froze, staring at Jiang Li in a daze. “Sister, thank you, you’re so good to me.” Xiao Yue excitedly hugged Jiang Li, her little head kept rubbing against her arm. Jiang Li smiled and reached out to touch her head, “Xiao Yue is also good to us, she always gives Xiao Rui anything good to eat.”
She had seen this more than once or twice. Whenever she had something good to eat, the first thing she thought of was Jun Rui. Jiang Li then pouted and leaned closer to Qiao Shen. She pretended to be unhappy and looked at Qiao Shen, “What? Qiao Shen, do you think you’re better than me?” “How could that be? This child, what are you saying. I’m happy, how could I think you’re better than me?” “Then quickly put the spirit stones away, I’ll ask you for them when I need them.” Hearing this, Qiao Shen quickly put the spirit stones away.
“Okay, okay, I’ll keep them for you for now, just tell me when you need them.” “Okay.” “Then I’ll put the spirit stones away first, Hei Duo, you two clean the fish and meat first, I’ll do the rest when I come out.” “Okay.” Xiao Gui and Xiao Jie, who had been taking care of Jun Rui in the house, heard that Jiang Li had bought fish, they immediately ran out with Jun Rui. Especially Xiao Gui, he volunteered to clean the fish with Xiao Yue. Seeing Xiao Yue holding the scissors and slowly cleaning the fish, Xiao Gui was a little impatient. He snatched the fish from her hand, and didn’t forget to guide her. “Little sister, you’re cleaning too slowly, look carefully at what I’m doing, learn it well.”
Xiao Yue nodded blankly, she widened her eyes and watched Xiao Gui’s movements carefully. Xiao Gui grabbed the fishtail with one hand, and with the other hand, he exposed his claws, he went wild on the fat fish. The scales on the fish quickly fell off and flew up in the air. After cleaning the scales, Xiao Gui held up the fish, lowered his head and directly bit open the fish’s belly, then used his hand to scoop out the internal organs. “Okay, the lesson is over, did you learn it?”
His series of operations really shocked Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue sniffed her runny nose, she nodded blankly. “Okay, then you show me.” “Okay.” Xiao Yue picked up a big fish. She completely copied Xiao Gui’s actions, she went wild. But… the result was different from what Xiao Gui had done… Xiao Yue was aggrieved and looked at the baby teeth that had fallen from her palm, and her already worn-down nails, her eyes filled with tears.
“Why did my teeth fall out, and my nails are worn down…” Her soft voice was choked with sobs. Xiao Gui was also stunned, he didn’t expect that Xiao Yue, as a Black Bear Tribe member, would be so weak, she couldn’t even do the simplest things… But he was afraid that she would cry, so he had to comfort her. “Okay, okay, you’re still too young, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let you do this. You won’t be like this when you’re full and grown up.”
He pushed Xiao Yue aside, “You don’t need to be here, I’ll do it myself, go play with Xiao Rui.” After speaking, he lowered his head and started cleaning the fish again. After he finished cleaning the fish, he just dared to put it aside. “Xiao Li, do we have to roast these fish?” He looked at the fire not far away with longing eyes. As a creature from the water, he was very afraid of fire, afraid of becoming a roasted turtle. Besides, when they were in the Sana River, they all ate it raw. Jiang Li, who was facing away from him, didn’t turn around, she just nodded. “
Yes, if you don’t eat it raw, you’ll get a stomachache.” Just as Xiao Gui was hesitating whether to get closer to the fire, Xiao Liuzi happened to arrive. “Hei Duo, Jiang Li, I heard you went to sell fruit! How did it go?” Before Jiang Li and Hei Duo could answer, Xiao Gui grabbed Xiao Liuzi. “
You came just in time, here, go roast the fish.” Xiao Liuzi, who hadn’t reacted yet, looked at the fish in his hand with a dazed expression. “Ah? Me?” Xiao Gui raised an eyebrow, “Well, do you eat or not? If you eat, then go roast it.” Xiao Liuzi was speechless. “I don’t roast well, why don’t you go?” “I… I’m afraid of fire…” Xiao Liuzi, “…” Seeing everyone busy, he had to go roast the fish. If it doesn’t taste good, he can’t blame him.
