1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 187 Is this bait a secret recipe?

It only took about ten minutes to drive there. After parking the car, Chu Xue led Fu Yancheng down the embankment to the secluded spot she had chosen earlier.

To avoid being seen by others and causing unnecessary trouble, since there are always people who like to make a big deal out of things.

Thanks to the bait from the first snowfall, fish started coming to this area shortly after the bait was placed.

Fu Yancheng felt that his luck was too good today. This was really like fishing. He was a little dizzy.

When the bait ran out, the two baskets we brought were also full.

Fu Yancheng told Chuxue to wait. He first sent a basket up, then came down to pick it up again: "I've fished in reservoirs before, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of fishing method."

Chu Xue felt a little guilty: "We were probably lucky today, and there aren't many people fishing at the reservoir lately, so my bait suited their tastes, which is why they fell for it."

But as they were talking, Fu Yancheng seemed to have thought of something: "Is your bait a secret recipe?"

Chu Xue gave him a reason he could believe or not, but it was also a test: "Well, I found an ancient book at the junkyard before, with a few secret recipes inside. I tried making some of them, and they were quite effective. When my dad was hospitalized in the city, I went to the moat to catch a lot of fish and delivered them to the hospital cafeteria for a few days."

She knew she couldn't hide what was going on at the hospital; Fu Yancheng probably already knew, so she simply told him directly.

The two drove directly to the new house. There was still a makeshift stove in the yard where they planned to cook stewed fish chunks. They would then bring over the egg drop soup and steamed buns made by Liu's mother from the Li family's kitchen next door.

After the first snow, Liu's father informed the men who had been working that there would be a reward meal at noon today, which everyone had been looking forward to.

One of the men working there joked with Liu's father, "Shanliang, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have eaten breakfast this morning; I was just waiting for this stew." After all, he still fondly remembered the last reward meal.

The other men were all smiles when they heard there would be a treat today. After all, the last time they had a treat, many of them didn't eat it themselves, but took it home to share with their wives and children. The children even licked the bowls clean.

When Fu Yancheng delivered the fish to the courtyard of the new house, Qiu Shaofeng, who was about to come and help, was dumbfounded: "Where did all these fish come from?"

While he was in the hospital, Mr. Liu knew his second daughter was a skilled fisherman, but seeing so many fish left him speechless: "You guys are amazing!"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Since we're going to treat everyone to a meal, we naturally have to make sure they eat well. We don't have any meat coupons, but we still have to let everyone have some meat, right?"

The reason why Chuxue is not afraid of others causing trouble is because people don't know how to cook fish yet, and they don't know how to remove the fishy smell. In addition, the fish in the river are not very big, so even if you bring them back, it is very troublesome to process them. As for the reservoir, if you don't have good swimming skills, no one dares to go there.

Mr. Liu was alright and accepted it fairly well, but his brother-in-law, Qiu Shaofeng, was still in a daze.

The scallions, ginger, and garlic she had grown in her space were ready to eat. She took a basket and went back to the old house to get some scallions and garlic. On the way, she took some ginger from her space and put it in.

When she arrived, Liu's father and brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng had already helped prepare quite a few fish. Chu Xue put the things away and joined in: "Where is Fu Yancheng?"

Liu's father didn't stop working: "Going to fetch water."
