Chapter 39: 038: Caught the Little Rabbit i
Translator: 549690339
As Ni Yang had previously saved Yang Guobao, everyone in the village knew that she was quite capable.
Zhou Qingshang also took a great liking to this young girl, promptly taking the Bupleurum from Ni Yang’s hand, laughing as she said, “Thank you so much, Yangyang, I’ll decoct it into a drink as soon as I get home.”
Ni Yang gave a slight smile, speaking softly, “Auntie Wang, no need for formalities.”
The more Zhou Qingshang saw of Ni Yang, the more she liked her.
She regretted not having a good squabble with that gossipy woman, Wang Jinfang.
If she heard the gossipy woman bad-mouth Ni Yang again, she herself would certainly give her a slap!
After saying goodbye to Zhou Qingshang, Ni Yang continued on her way home.
It was already half past five.
Since it was June, the sun was still high in the sky.
When Ni Yang returned home, her younger sister, Ni Yun, was wailing loudly, while Ni Cuihua was trying to calm her down.
However, the little girl seemed to have suffered some wrong, the more she cried, the louder she became, refusing to stop despite the placating efforts.
“Mom, what’s wrong with my little sister? Why is she crying so pitifully?”
As Ni Cuihua peddled back and forth to shush the child, she said, “All children are like this, it’s fine, she’ll stop crying in a while, you just go about your business.”
Ni Yang had never had or cared for children in her previous life, and was clumsy at consoling children, so she could only first leave the room, allowing Ni Cuihua to soothe her alone.
Ni Yang went into the yard, and suddenly remembered that she still had eight cute little rabbits in her basket.
So she found a large cardboard box from her house, and put the little rabbits inside it. The little rabbits were highly adaptable, and as soon as they were placed inside the box, they began to happily hop about.
Thinking that the little rabbits hadn’t eaten anything all afternoon, Ni Yang took a few veggies from the kitchen and placed them in the box. The sight of the greens made the rabbits’ eyes practically glow, and they immediately began to nibble on the leaves.
After settling the rabbits, Ni Yang took the aloe vera and herbal medicine that she had dug up from the mountain, selected a few plants, and planted them in the ground in front of the door.
This was originally a wasteland that hadn’t been cultivated for many years, but Ni Cuihua was diligent. After reclaiming the wasteland, she not only sprinkled vegetable seeds on it, but also built a fence around it to keep chickens and ducks away.
The vegetable seeds that Ni Cuihua had planted a few days ago had already sprouted. Before long, they would be able to eat the vegetables they had grown themselves.
It hadn’t rained for several days, so after she finished planting the aloe vera and herbs, Ni Yang watered the vegetable sprouts. After doing all these, Ni Yang finally had time to prepare dinner.
There were still some river snails she’d found before. Tonight, she could cook spicy stir-fried snails.
And also a pig’s feet and clam soup, carrots stir-fried with meat, and stir-fried leeks.
Except for the spicy stir-fried snails, the other three dishes all have beauty benefits.
Some dishes can help with breast growth, some are good for the skin, smoothing wrinkles and anti-aging, while some are good for the hair.
The taste is excellent, she could cook even the most ordinary ingredients into a feast, causing one to be unwilling to stop eating.
When dinner was ready, it was already past seven. At this time, Ni Chenggui just got off work and came back home. “Yangyang, your cooking skills have improved greatly. I could smell it from far away, should we wash our hands and eat now?”
After living together for these days, Ni Chenggui had fallen in love with Ni Yang’s cooking.
Moreover, Ni Chenggui had surprisingly found that his physical condition had also undergone considerable changes recently.
For instance, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have lightened a lot, and his complexion was not as dull as before…
He felt that all these changes should be attributed to the delicious meals that Ni Yang cooked.
“Auntie Ni is back, dinner is ready, we can start eating now.” Ni Yang replied, bustling about in the kitchen.
“Then I’ll go wash my hands.” Ni Chenggui made a beeline to wash his hands with quick steps.
Eating meals had become the thing he looked forward to the most after work every day.
In a short while, Ni Chenggui’s surprised voice echoed from outside, “Wow! What delightful little rabbits! Yangyang, did you buy these rabbits?”
Ni Yang laughed as she explained, “No, I caught them in the mountains this afternoon.”
Ni Chenggui marvelled, “You could even catch rabbits in the mountains, Yangyang, you are really lucky.”
However, the loss was only for this morning. She planned to replace the meat tomorrow and add more ingredients, naturally making a profit. freewebnøvel.com
