Well then… deal.

If it’s not necessary, so be it. Now that she had accepted orders from the county town, the tofu workshop needed to expand its operations and increase production. In this way, acquiring hard work points will likely be easier.

Just waiting a few more days wouldn’t be a problem.

This period was just as good as any to sort out the orders from the county town, and she also had other ideas for the town, all these required time.

Just remember to remind her to redeem it when there were enough hard work points.

[Alright, host, no problem, host.]

Xiaowu readily agreed.

Zhuang Qingning didn’t say much after that, and just cleaned the bowls and chopsticks, then went back to the room to get some rest.

At this moment, a boat was drifting on Cuiwei Lake.

The sun was intense, but the light breeze brought a faint mist from the lake that dissipated any dryness, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.

A small stove was burning on the boat, where tea was simmering over charcoal. The subtle bubbling sounds from the teapot were accompanied by the rising tendrils of tea aroma.

Two people on the boat were sitting at the bow, each holding a fishing rod, focusing on the tranquil surface of the lake.

Especially Chu Jinzhou, he hardly dared to breathe, not even blinking as he stared intently at his rod.

Meanwhile, Chu Jinnian was much more at ease. Sitting cross-legged, he supported his chin with one hand while yawning from time to time, looking relaxed.

Suddenly, the fishing rod next to Chu Jinnian twitched. His eyes darkened, he reached out to pick up the rod, and he gently lifted it.

A decently-sized carp jumped out of the lake and landed safely inside the boat.

Ning Feng was thrilled and hurried to unhook the carp’s mouth, then he re-baited and Chu Jinnian casually casted the hook back into the water.

“Master Chu’s luck is indeed abundant today, within a short time he has caught four or five…” Only as he glanced up to see Chu Jinzhou’s disappointed face could Ning Feng not finish his sentence.

Oops, why did he bring that up.

Although Chu Jinnian had good luck, Chu Jinzhou hadn’t caught a single fish yet. For him to go on boasting was just rubbing salt into Chu Jinzhou’s wound.

“Third Young Master, don’t get anxious. It’s likely that the big fish are coming up later. In my opinion, you will surely catch the biggest fish in a while…”

“I wish so.” Chu Jinzhou didn’t feel too encouraged by Ning Feng’s comfort. On the contrary, he sighed more deeply, furrowed his eyebrows, and looked at the fishing rod in front of him.

What’s wrong with these fish? Why don’t they bite his hook?

The fishing rods and bait are the same, aren’t they?

Why can’t he succeed…?

Maybe he’s not attractive to the fish?

With that in mind, Chu Jinzhou picked up his rod, lifted it a little, scrutinized the bait, and looked at Chu Jinnian for a while. He then decided to take his rod and go to the stern of the boat.

“You want to separate from your older brother?” Chu Jinnian laughed, his handsome eyes squinting into thin lines.

“Big brother’s luck is too good, I can’t beat him here. I’ll just move to the stern,” said Chu Jinzhou. “Brother, just wait for a moment. I’ll catch more fish at a different spot!”

“That’s terrific. We’ll have a fish feast tonight then.” Chu Jinnian didn’t lose his smile as he watched Chu Jinzhou move. His eyes, however, glanced over the water.

It took so much effort to get Chu Jinzhou to come fishing on the lake with him so he could spend more time with him and make him happy. But these fish were constantly biting his hook and ignoring Chu Jinzhou’s, which was really upsetting.

Just as he was pondering, the fishing rod shook again. Chu Jinnian lifted the rod, revealing another carp larger than the last.
