Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 221: Forgot to Hold Back
Watching her place the fish on the cutting board, she slammed the fish head with the knife with a "smack," smashing it.
Shen Qinglan: ...
Forgot to hold back a little!
"Uh..." Liu Shuanghong was momentarily stunned.
The bloody scene was unimaginable to her, that this somewhat delicate-looking young girl was the one who caused it.
Shen Qinglan apologized with a guilty look, "Sorry, sis-in-law, the fish head is gone!"
She just sometimes forgot about her peculiar strength.
Liu Shuanghong snapped back and quickly consoled her with a smile, "It’s alright, no one likes eating the fish head anyway, gone is gone!"
"I actually quite like eating fish heads!" Shen Qinglan said regretfully while gutting the fish.
"Really?" Liu Shuanghong chuckled awkwardly, "Then just go easy on the next one."
"Okay!"
She agreed and grabbed another fish from the wooden bucket, managing to keep the fish head intact this time.
"Does Qinglan cook often at home?" Liu Shuanghong asked, looking at her knife skills.
"No." Shen Qinglan shook her head slightly.
"Really?" Liu Shuanghong was surprised, "But your knife skills are quite good. Your brother Qiu doesn’t have such skills; he always cuts unevenly."
Shen Qinglan glanced out the kitchen window at the grape trellis behind, seeing several clusters of green grapes growing lushly, which surprised her.
She had been in this world for quite some time now, but this was the first time she’d seen grapes here.
"Sis-in-law, where did these grapes come from?"
"Oh, you mean those." Liu Shuanghong said, "Your brother Qiu was gifted a vine by the shopkeeper when he went to buy some seeds, said it was brought back from Nanfeng Country, heard it’s quite expensive. The shopkeeper couldn’t grow it, so he gave it to your brother Qiu."
Nanfeng Country, huh?
Shen Qinglan lowered her eyes, feeling a bit nostalgic for the taste of wine.
"So this is called grape!" Liu Shuanghong laughed, "I thought the fruit looked pretty, but wasn’t sure if it’s edible."
"It can be eaten when ripe." Shen Qinglan said, "It’s purple, tastes sweet and sour."
"Really?" Liu Shuanghong said, "Then when it’s ripe, I’ll pick some for you."
"No need." Shen Qinglan said, "Leave it for the kids, I don’t really like eating them."
She preferred drinking wine to eating grapes.
"Really?" Liu Shuanghong smiled, "The work is done, you should wash your hands and take a seat, I’ll handle the rest."
Shen Qinglan nodded, washed her hands, and then left the kitchen.
Arriving at the front yard, she saw quite a few people standing outside the picket fence, peeking in curiously.
"What is everyone gathered here for?" An elderly voice came from the crowd.
The group quickly made way, and Qiu Li helped an elderly woman, along with a middle-aged woman and a boy about sixteen or seventeen, to make their way in.
"Old Lady Wang, what are those distinguished guests here for?" someone asked.
"Here for a visit, what else could it be?" The elderly woman frowned, looking a bit displeased.
"We were just curious." A woman said, "In this shabby village of ours, not even the heavy rain can wash us away, and we’re never included when money is handed out. It’s rare to see a few distinguished people, so why not try to catch some of their aura?"
They couldn’t have imagined that those they called distinguished guests were here to form ties with the Qiu Family.
"Look at these idle people, always eager for some excitement."
The elderly woman sighed softly and shook her head.
