Chapter 68 Found the money

"You two, the dishes here are all cooked in earthen stoves. The taste is much better than those cooked with gas, but it will take more than half an hour to stew. You two should go sit in the room first and eat something else.

Or should we go shopping outside?" the landlady asked the two of them enthusiastically.

Without the two of them having to ask, they started to point to the side and introduce, "The closest thing to my backyard is this peach blossom forest, but it's unlucky for you two to come here. Although my peaches are late-ripening, they are almost ripe in September.

, all the good ones have been picked, and there aren’t many left on the tree. If you two don’t mind it, you can go to the peach grove and pick a peach to eat.”

After hearing what the landlady said, Shi Luo looked to the east of Taolin.

"There is a small pond over there with grass carp stocked in it. If you two want to fish, we also have fishing rods here and we can cook the fish you catch." The landlady said with a wink.

Thinking that Shi Luo grew up in the mountains and wilderness, he would probably prefer to walk outside. Ming Xun said, "Then go to the fish pond?"

Shi Luo did not refute.

The proprietress quickly brought two fishing rods and bait to the two of them.

Because there are constant customers all year round, the boss simply built a road in the backyard. Although it is called a road, it is actually a path made by cutting down the weeds and paving it with some stones. It is only for one person to walk.

After passing the peach forest, there is indeed a fish pond ahead. At this moment, a person is sitting on the edge of the fish pond. There is a picnic cloth spread on the grass behind him. A woman is sitting on the picnic cloth and is putting food on it. To the south, there is

Two children were playing. Both children were not very old. One was about six or seven years old, and the other was about eight or nine years old.

Because there was grass all around, they could see their children at a glance, so the parents did not stop their children from playing a little further away.

The two of them went to the fish pond.

He had never fished before, so his movements were a little clumsy.

After stringing up the bait, Mingxun handed the fishing rod to Shi Luo, "If you can't catch any fish, it's my fault."

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to eat fish today." Shi Luo had never caught fish before.

Occasionally, the old man would feel free and relaxed, so he would take a fishing rod and slowly go fishing down the mountain. The old man felt that fishing was the least tiring. Of course, he would take Shiluo with him eight out of ten times when he went down the mountain.

There is no other reason, just because the old man failed to catch fish eight times out of ten.

I took Shiluo with me just so I wouldn't go back empty-handed.

Shi Luo was usually as impatient as the old man. She would sit for most of the day. When she got impatient, she would make a harpoon by herself and spear the fish directly.

She has a sharp eye and quick hands, and she is accurate with every stroke.

When stringing bait in the early morning, Shi Luo's eyes wandered around.

Next to it was a peach forest with many dead branches. Shi Luo could easily find a branch that could be used as a harpoon.

Mingxun put down the fishing rod in his hand and watched Shi Luo sharpen one end of the branch.

His eyes fell on the knife in Shi Luo's hand.

He felt that he was not thoughtful enough.

When he was about to go out with Shi Luo, Mingxun specifically asked Qu Aiguo and Zhang Jia, and then he personally prepared various outdoor equipment. He took them with him, but put them in the trunk and did not take them down.

He looked at the small baggage Shi Luo was carrying again, and felt soft-hearted for no reason.

Only when you are out alone all year round do you need to carry these outdoor tools with you.

"You want it?" Shi Luo looked at him.

"Miss Shi taught me how to do it?" Mingxun put down the fishing rod, squatted in front of Shi Luo with great interest, and praised without hesitation, "After being out with Miss Shi, I realized how little I know."

"There are specialties in the art." Shi Luo patted his arm to prevent him from falling into the rare self-pity. "Come on, I will teach you how to do it. If you don't fish today, we will spear fish."

Ming Xun chuckled and kept up with the times.

According to Shi Luo's request, Mingxun found a branch that was neither thick nor thin. Shi Luo tested the hardness and softness, and then she sharpened the other end.

The two returned to the fish pond. Shi Luo found a place where he could stand and said to Ming Xun, "Bring the bait."

Ming Xun obeyed Shi Luo's instructions very naturally and went up to get the bait. Before leaving, he told Shi Luo, "Miss Shi, be careful."

The bait is thrown close to the side.

After about half a minute, Shi Luo raised and lowered her harpoon, making a clattering sound. She raised the harpoon and dangled the still struggling fish in front of Mingxun's eyes.

"This is braised fish."

Throwing the fish on the shore, Shiluo forked again, and there was another smaller one.

"This is grilled fish."

"I'll treat you to a whole fish feast today." Shi Luo's voice was brisk.

This is the most relaxing and comfortable time I have seen the smile on Shi Luo's face since I met Shi Luo in Mingxun.

His heart beat rapidly several times, but there was no abnormal color on his face.

"Then there's Miss Laoshi."

Shi Luo stepped aside and said to Mingxun, "Come and give it a try too."

"Then I'll treat Miss Shi to a meal as well -" An all-fish feast was out of the question, so Mingxun changed her voice and said, "Steamed fish?"

It has to be said that Mingxun’s learning ability surprised Shiluo.

He stood close to Shi Luo, but did not ask any questions. He stared at the water. The next moment, the harpoon plunged into the water. When he lifted it up, there was a medium-sized grass carp on the harpoon.

If Shi Luo's eyes had fallen on Ming Xun, she would have discovered that Ming Xun's action of spearing the fish just now was exactly the same as hers.

"Is this really your first time fishing?" Shi Luo looked at Ming Xun in surprise.

She herself is considered to be a strong learner. The old man said that she is the smartest child he has ever seen. Although she does not have a photographic memory, she can memorize a book after reading it three or five times. This is especially true for drawing symbols and formations. The old man teaches

After going through it once, she will learn it, and after a few more times, she will do it better than the old man, and she will understand it well and figure out more effective talismans on her own than those in the book.

Mingxun's intelligence impressed her.

The two of them caught fish one after another, and the couple next to them couldn't help but look over.

The man has been sitting here for half an hour and hasn't caught a single fish.

The couple looked at each other, and the man put down his fishing rod and walked over, "Can you two sell us two fish?"

They came out as a family of four. Naturally, the man did not go fishing specifically. Their two children like to eat fish, so the man decided to catch two to satisfy the children's craving.

Seeing that it was noon, the only fish caught was a fish as long as a little finger. The fish was too small, so the man released it again.

Mingxun pointed to the piece he had crossed over and said, "This one is fine."

The man kept saying thank you.

The two children in the distance screamed in surprise and then ran towards this side.

The boy in front ran quickly, and the boy behind him staggered along.

"Money, Mom and Dad, I found the money." The older child ran forward panting. He raised his hand and handed a brand new hundred-dollar bill to his father.

"It's still new, very new." The boy at this age already knew the role of money. He pointed to the child following him, "My younger brother also has one."

The child's father also looked surprised, "Where did you pick it up?"

"In the grass on the roadside."

"My good son, you are so lucky." The man smiled and patted his son on the head, "I will buy you something delicious when I get back."
