The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl
Chapter 715 - Chapter 715 Chapter 715 Stir-Fried River Snails

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Stir-Fried River Snails Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Stir-Fried River Snails The situation of the fifth team was not good; according to the doctor, the leader had broken his arm and lost too much blood, remaining unconscious for three days before finally waking up.

After awakening, he simply couldn’t accept the fact that his arm was broken, yelling and shouting at home, and even destroying all the vegetables growing in the yard, adding to the family’s already difficult situation, which resented him as they had been doing well thanks to his hunting.

Later, although he recovered, he remained listless.

With his arm broken, hunting was out of the question; he could only join the land-clearing team.

His situation was somewhat similar to that of Xu Dali, a family of three initially. Xu Dali also broke his arm while hunting, but his injury was to his forearm, whereas the team leader had broken his upper arm.

However, the attitudes of the two men upon waking were completely different, and naturally, those in the land-clearing team compared the two, quickly dismissing the team leader as useless, and his home life deteriorated even further.

As for the other members of the fifth team, even if their injuries weren’t as severe, they still suffered a lot.

Two of them were severely internally injured by a slap from Big Bear and could no longer go up the mountain.

Another was less severely injured but had been terrified by the original scene and further traumatized by their leader’s injury; they dared not even venture to the outskirts of the mountain, let alone go hunting.

The team was effectively disbanded.

Of course, these are all events that happened later.

Shu Yu continued her routine, having nearly finished playing with her rocks, but Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi still hadn’t returned.

She was worried, regretting not asking more clearly about their whereabouts.

Two days passed like this, and she gradually got the hang of things at the manor, the snails she had picked up last time having almost finished purging sand.

Shu Yu felt a bit peckish and decided to stir-fry the snails, treating herself to a bigger meal.

After finishing her morning tasks, she returned from the manor and adjusted her schedule so that she no longer needed to take a nap.

She directly pulled over a stool and sat in the yard, snipping the ends off the snails.

Sanya wanted to help, but the house only had large scissors, not small ones, and cutting snails required strength. The little girl’s tiny hands could easily get hurt by accident.

Shu Yu wouldn’t let her help, and the little girl was quite disappointed, “Second sister, are stir-fried snails really delicious?”

“Has Sanya never eaten them?”

The little girl shook her head.

Snails were time-consuming to prepare and didn’t have much meat. Previously, when the family was poor, her father had injured his leg, and both her mother and grandmother had to busy themselves with farm work. She and Dahu had to go gather pigweed and firewood, and being young, they were not allowed to go to the river to collect snails.

Nobody had time for this, and they always ate in a hurry, so she had no idea what snails tasted like.

Shu Yu initially wanted to pat her on the head, but with a snail in her left hand and scissors in her right, she couldn’t free up a hand and instead said, “Well, you can try them later. Have the things I made before ever tasted bad?”

Thinking of the popcorn, fried chicken legs, and spicy rabbit meat, Sanya couldn’t control her salivation and her eyes sparkled, “No, they were all delicious, especially delicious.”

Shu Yu smiled, “Then just wait, you’ll be able to eat them later.”

Though she said later, there were quite a few snails, and the old lady also came over to help cut them after finishing her tasks.

In this way, cutting a large half-bucket of snails also consumed quite a lot of time.
