Chapter 169 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 12
How to put it? If you only eat crayfish, without drinking alcohol, beverages, or staple foods, you'll find that even a girl with a small appetite can eat two or three pounds in one meal and still not feel full.
That bowl of spicy food was a bit bigger, about 4.5 jin (2.25 catties). Liu Yuxi wanted to eat more spicy food herself, worried that Lin Ziye wouldn't have enough, so she cooked a little extra. Grandma doesn't have a big appetite, so the garlic dish was about 2.3 jin (1.15 catties). There were also leftovers from lunch, which was enough for the three of them.
While she and her grandmother were eating lobster, they also ate some vegetables and drank a bowl of porridge, so they were almost full before they finished the plate of garlic crayfish.
As a result, Lin Ziye finished the whole pot of spicy crayfish in one go, and was still not satisfied. Seeing that Liu Yuxi and her grandmother had almost finished eating, he asked, "Grandma, Xiaoxi, aren't you two going to eat?"
Knowing what he meant, Liu Yuxi moved the remaining portion of garlic sauce in front of him: "You eat it!"
"Hehe, then I won't be polite." With that, he poured the remaining garlic crayfish into the spicy bowl. Liu Yuxi rolled her eyes; this guy never seemed to be polite.
By the time Lin Ziye put down his chopsticks, there was practically nothing left on the table, because after he finished eating the lobster, he filled a bowl with porridge and cleared out the leftovers.
To be honest, people of Liu Yuxi's grandmother's age would be happy to see the younger generation eating so much, but Liu Yuxi would worry that the child might ruin her stomach.
Fearing he wouldn't be able to digest it that night, Lin Ziye rested for a while before getting up to clean the table. He collected all the shrimp shells, rinsed them twice with hot water, and dumped them in the composting area next to the chicken coop. Tomorrow, the chickens will be let out to peck at the food themselves.
Next came washing pots and pans. After finishing all that work, Liu Yuxi asked Lin Ziye, "Is your stomach upset?"
"I'm not feeling unwell. I'm not like I was when I first arrived. I can eat now!" The last "yes" had a slight trailing syllable, and Liu Yuxi trembled silently.
Is being able to eat something to be proud of?
"Of course, being able to eat is a blessing. Don't you know that?"
"I know, I know, go back to sleep!" Not wanting to chat with this newly minted goofball, Liu Yuxi sent Lin Ziye home, boiled water, washed up, and went to bed.
The next day, Liu Yuxi took 30 jin of eels from the water tank at home, and then went to town to add about 50 jin to sell. She deducted a little every day, and now she has more than 3,000 yuan in her personal space. No matter when, a woman needs to have some money in her hands to feel secure, no matter how old she is!
After selling the eels, Liu Yuxi went to school for class. During the mid-morning break, she unexpectedly saw Lin Ziye at school. At first, she thought he had come to see her for something.
It was only later that I realized this was the second half of the program where Lin Ziye came to school. I wonder how Lin Ziye performed in the original storyline.
However, in this life, apart from when he first arrived, Lin Ziye's performance has been quite good. As for his grades, there's no need to worry. After all, he's the male lead, so he can easily be among the top students in the school.
Lin Ziye was filming at the sixth grade of the school. The production team originally planned to have him film at the junior high school in town, but somehow he communicated with the production team and ended up filming at Liu Yuxi's elementary school in the sixth grade.
After filming two classes at school, Lin Ziye waited for Liu Yuxi at the school gate to go home together. Liu Yuxi asked him, "Shouldn't you be in the third year of junior high? Why are you still in elementary school?"
"My grades weren't good. My grades in elementary school were pretty good, but in the second semester of sixth grade, I had more and more conflicts with my parents, so I stopped studying. I basically just played around in junior high."
"I don't know anything, what am I supposed to do livestreaming in middle school? Is livestreaming shameful?"
"Well, you're right, but you still need to study hard. You're not studying for someone else. If you don't study well, you'll suffer the consequences later. There's no need to go against yourself for anyone or anything!"
"Yes, I've figured it out now. After the show ends, I'll find a tutor to catch up on everything from the beginning. I hope I can finish it as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, she muttered under her breath, "If I had known I would have to take extra lessons, I would have preferred to study them in the first place!" There was a hint of regret in her words.
"Then who's to blame?" Liu Yuxi said gloatingly from the side.
Lin Ziye wasn't angry: "It's okay, it won't take long. It's not like I haven't learned anything. I sometimes go to school to listen in. I estimate it will take about a year. I should know I'm quite smart!"
"really!"
"Right? You think I'm smart too, right?" Lin Ziye smugly chimed in from the side, after all, he was still just a teenager.
They ate together at home, then Lin Ziye went home for a nap. She would wake him up when he was in class, give the 500 yuan she earned that day to her grandmother, and then she took a nap herself.
When it was time, she went to school with Lin Ziye again. On the way, she told him that she would not go with him every morning because she had something to do in town. Lin Ziye probably had some idea and just nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Liu Yuxi received replies from "Youth Daily" and "Sprout" at school. Her two articles had been accepted, and the replies also included remittance slips for 220 yuan and 350 yuan respectively.
Haha, now she has another source of income. Writing these articles is a piece of cake for Liu Yuxi. She can submit them to more newspapers and magazines. As time goes on, her royalties will increase, and her income will be even greater.
After school, she let Lin Ziye go home first. She went to town to get money and bought some groceries to celebrate. When she gave her grandmother the sample copies of "Youth Daily" and "Sprout" and the payment for her manuscript, her grandmother was so happy that she cried tears of joy, repeatedly saying, "May our ancestors bless us! May our ancestors bless us!"
She told her grandmother not to go out and show off; it was just the two of them in her family, and she should never think too highly of people, just keep her happiness to herself. She cooked extra dishes to celebrate that evening, only mentioning that her article had been published, without mentioning the payment. Lin Ziye was easygoing, only interested in the delicious food, and didn't ask any further questions.
On Tuesday, Liu Yuxi set up the shrimp traps early in the morning, and once again caught more than 200 catties of crayfish. As usual, he sold 50 catties and stored the rest in his storage space. He then rotated the shrimp traps in several fish ponds.
On Wednesday, I kept a few pounds of the remaining eels at home for myself, and took the rest to town to sell.
Later, Liu Yuxi would set up shrimp traps every two days, but he still had stock in his storage space, so he went to town to sell crayfish every day. By the end of the show, Liu Yuxi still hadn't sold all his crayfish.
When the show ended, Lin Ziye got his phone back. He went to town to buy Liu Yuxi a smartphone, got her a SIM card, and topped up her phone credit.
Then he handed the phone to Liu Yuxi: "I've saved your number. You should contact me often from now on. Don't worry about the phone bill, I'll pay it. I'll come visit you when I'm free during my holidays, and you can come visit me too. Bring your grandma along, I'll cover all the expenses! Don't forget your big brother!"
Lin Ziye kept muttering to himself, and Liu Yuxi didn't interrupt him, only occasionally saying "Okay!" Her phone was confiscated, but she had at least provided him with meals for a month!
Liu Yuxi didn't prepare any gifts for him, but she still made him twenty catties of spicy crayfish and told him to figure out how to take them with him. Lin Ziye was overjoyed. This stuff was exactly what he wanted, and he went off to arrange for cold chain air transport.
If he hadn't been watching Liu Yuxi cook crayfish every time, he would have suspected that Liu Yuxi had added something to it. How could it be so delicious? So addictive.
