C1 (2/2)
Liu thought about paving the fish to improve his food, so he smiled and said, ”Fishing net.”
At this time, Aunt Wang was even more puzzled. What kind of thing was a fishing net?
There are fish for a living on this continent, but I've never heard of a fishing net, have I?
Liu Xiaobie also faintly smiled in response to Aunt Wang's doubts.
Previously, when he was a teenager, he would learn how to make small bamboo fishing nets with his grandfather during his junior high school vacation. After tying up the bamboo fishing nets, he would tie them to the other end of the bamboo poles and lead the 8-9 year old Ah Hu to a small river outside the small town.
After a busy afternoon, he was finally going to reap some rewards. He walked to the small river in anticipation and started his first job on the continent. He grabbed the end of the bamboo pole and threw it away.
He and Little Tiger were overjoyed, Liu Xiaobie was also satisfied with the results of his work. Just like this, the sky slowly darkened as they caught half of the wooden bucket fish and happily carried the fish back to Wang Da Niang's house.
But when he returned home, even Auntie Wang did not expect the two to catch six or seven catties of fish. That night, Auntie Wang cooked three or four catties of fish for him to eat.
There were still two to three catties of fish, Liu Xiaobie, that Aunt Wang could sell in the morning. If she were to sell it herself, she would probably not be able to sell it for even a dime and would be directly taken away by the person who bullied her.
After the meal, Aunt Wang laughed, ”Little beggar, Auntie still doesn't know your name?”
Liu Xiaobie thought about it and realized that Little Qian also didn't have a name on this continent, so why not just call her the Earth's nickname, Li Er.
”Aunt, my name is Li Er.” Liu Xiaobie smiled.
”Heh, not a bad name.”
”Thank you, Auntie!”
The next day, Li Er and Little Tiger brought some salt with them early in the morning. Two big wooden buckets could hold twenty to thirty catties of fish.
He went out to catch fish again, and kept fishing until noon. When he was hungry, he and Little Tiger roasted some fish with flint to fill their stomachs.
After eating for the first time, Little Tiger's eyes lit up and said, ”Second Brother Li, the fish you made is much better than the ones my mother cooked.”
Li Er smiled but did not say anything.
After they had eaten their fill, the two continued to fish until the night was over. They only returned to Lady Wang's house after they had caught nearly twenty catties of fish.
Aunt Wang saw the fish and quickly said, ”Are you tired? ”You guys rest, I'll go make some fish for you guys to eat.”
When Li Er heard this, he immediately snatched over the words and said with a smile, ”Aunt Wang, I can also make fish. I'll let you have a taste of my cooking skills.”
Thus, under Aunt Wang's surprised gaze, he walked into the kitchen and began to cook Red Braised Fish. When Li Er finished cooking the Red Braised Fish, the two of them ate with endless praise.
Just like this, he and Little Tiger went out to catch fish every day. Many fish were sold by Auntie Wang the next day for money. Three months had passed unknowingly, and their nutrition had caught up with them.
On the other side of the small river, he suddenly discovered a group of people wearing the same gray attire, surrounding and attacking a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man flew on his sword, and the group of people behind him could possibly be a group of people from the same sect or family attacking him alone.
Wherever he went, boulders and trees filled the sky. How shocking was this moment? Cutting grass in a nest? It was even more awesome than in the movies!
My mother, is this true?
From her memory, she knew that in this world, only power was respected. However, what she had seen and heard changed her perspective and imagination. That was power.
By now, this group of people had already gotten far away. Little Tiger wanted to catch up with them, but he couldn't. That night, he returned to Lady Wang's house.
Lying on his bed with Little Tiger, Li Er was still thinking back to everything he saw today. He smiled at Little Tiger and said, ”Do you want to be like the experts we saw at the riverside today, walking across the horizon with swords in hand?”
Little Tiger sighed and said, ”It's a pity that no one taught us. Even if they called us, we couldn't read.”
We couldn't read that sentence, so we gave him a hard slap in the face.
Looks like I need to learn something from this world.
No matter what, he was still a second-rate university graduate on Earth, he just didn't understand the words on this continent.
After thinking continuously at Auntie Wang's house for two days and two nights, he finally told her his thoughts, saying that he and Little Tiger would not be able to stay together for long.
Now that there were less and less fish every day, he might as well take the money he had earned from selling the fish to the academy to study with Little Tiger. Although the school fees were too expensive for ordinary people to afford, the money he had earned from selling the fish was enough for him and Little Tiger to study for a year or two.
