38. Chapter 38

Qin Mao stared at the water with a sharpened small bamboo stick, and the little fat man held his breath.

Maybe it's because there are no people, there are some lotus flowers growing in the lake, and before summer, there are only one or two lonely small lotus flowers on the lake that show sharp corners, and the lotus leaves are as big and green as sunflower fans, and if you look closely, you can find frogs squatting in it to avoid the sun.

"Poof!"

Xia Bilei, who was washing clothes, looked at the little frog that jumped into the water with pity, spring has not yet passed, and it has not been long since the tadpole turned into a frog, and it is still early for her to want to eat.

The noon sun was hot, and the sweat of the little fat man flowed down his neck, and there were also a few drops of sweat on the tip of Qin Mao's nose, who was staring intently at the fish in the lake.

Xia Bilei, who washed her clothes and washed the pots and bowls by the way, shook her hands and walked over, and slowed down when she saw this, for fear that the fish would run away.

"Wow, hit, stabbed!" The little fat man cheered, Qin Mao proudly lifted the fish strung on the bamboo stick, and the half-catty fish struggled unwillingly, and gradually stopped moving.

"That's amazing!" Xia Bilei praised from the bottom of her heart, it is not easy to stab a fish with bamboo, and her speed, eyesight, judgment, and even strength are almost not good at all.

The little fat man happily ripped the fish off the bamboo stick, "Sister Bilei, let's cook fish soup and drink it later, and grill the fish, but the fish is still a little less, or I will go down to the lake to fish." ”

Looking at the beads of sweat and tanned skin on Qin Mao's forehead, Xia Bilei took his small bamboo stick to string fish and stretched it out to pull the lotus leaves over and pick a few big and beautiful ones.

"Put on your hat, the sun is too big." Put a lotus leaf on Qin Mao's head, and enjoy the meeting, the green lotus leaf reflects the young man's delicate face and blends into the eyes full of water and mountains, which makes people feel drunk.

"Mao, you are so good-looking, this lotus leaf is like a hat." The little fat man couldn't help but boast, with black hair, fair face, and green lotus leaves, he finally understood what an enduring beauty was.

Qin Mao silently took down the lotus leaf and took a look, well, the green hat......

"Mao, you have to wear a lotus leaf hat, you see that your face is tanned, but you can't get heat stroke." Xia Bilei looked at him with great disapproval.

Qin Mao tilted his head, and the lotus leaf hat also tilted, "Bi Lei, I'll drop the stinging fish in a while." ”

"There are a lot of lotus leaves, and then pick them when they are dropped, by the way, I'll try to see if I can catch fish." Xia Bilei looked at the calm lake and was eager to try, this water must be very cool.

The little fat man hurriedly came over to stop her, "I'll go down, my mother said that the girl's house can't soak in the water for too long, Sister Bilei You can take a bath and bring water up, but you are not allowed to soak in the lake." Besides, the black skin on her body hasn't faded yet, what should I do if the water is more strict.

"Then I'll go kill the fish." Xia Bilei thought for a while and said.

"No!" Qin Mao, who lowered his head and stabbed the fish, didn't look back, "The knife is too dangerous, I'll kill it later." ”

Qin Mao's mouth is poisonous, and he is lazy, but when it comes to cooking with a knife or chopping wood, he mostly does it himself, for fear that Xia Bilei will chop his hands as vegetables.

"So what do I do?" Xia Bilei, who had nothing to do, was at a loss.

"Just sit down." The little fat man looked down for the fish, "My mother said that the girl's family should be pampered, and she can't do too much work, otherwise her hands will be thick." ”

Of course, Xia Bilei couldn't be idle, she took a look at the two of them who were having a good time, and decided to make noodles and cakes, and stick them to the edge of the pot when she could cook fish.

Qin Mao and the little fat man got a lot of fish, but the varieties were common herring crucian carp and grass carp, Xia Bilei picked out the fatter fish and grilled them, and the crucian carp was boiled in soup. Fat fish do not need to be oiled, when grilled, the oil on the fish falls into the fire and the flame burns violently.

Xia Bilei hurriedly moved the fish away to prevent the fire from smoking the fish. The little fat man looked at the fish soup in the pot and carefully turned the dough over.

"That's what people eat." The little fat man smelled the aroma of the grilled fish intoxicated, "Compared to what Wuda gave us to eat, it's heaven now......"

Xia Bilei agreed, "That's right, what Wuda gave us was pig food, no, it should be said that pigs don't eat it." ”

Qin Mao looked at her speechlessly, "Don't say that we are not even as good as pigs." ”

"Hmph, just because of their stinginess, my pigs do eat better than us." He and his father both love pork, and his mother dislikes that the pigs raised by others are not clean, and they are all raised at home with good bean feed. The little fat man picked up a spoon and scooped some fish soup to taste, "This fish soup is so fresh, but unfortunately there is no tree tofu." "The little fat man can't forget the crucian carp tree tofu soup that they occupied in Wuda.

The movements in Xia Bilei's hands froze, and Qin Mao also raised her head, her face delicate.

"What's wrong? Mao, why are you looking at me like this? Something on my face? The little fat man couldn't help but wipe his face, "There's nothing, I just took a bath in the lake by the way, but it's clean......"

Qin Mao said slowly, "I'm thinking about what medicine can cure brain damage." ”

Qin Bilei put down the fish in her hand and retorted, "Ah Mao, you are too much, you don't need brain fragments, but your IQ is a little lower, Ah Mao, do you have any medicine that can make you smarter?" Give it to Chubby. ”

The little fat man jumped up angrily, "Where am I stupid, I'm not stupid at all!" You see, I bargain a lot when I buy things......"

Xia Bilei sighed, "Chubby, have you ever thought about how Wu Er suddenly got a cold, he is so good, how can he not even avoid thunder." ”

The little fat man was stunned, "Yes?" Why? ”

Qin Mao looked at him with a look at a low-energy fool, "That's because the crucian carp tree bean curd soup is poisonous." ”

The little fat man's jaw was about to fall, "This and this...... This can't be, doesn't Sister Bilei eat it too? By the way, I forgot about it, I wanted to try it, and Sister Bilei and Ah Mao grabbed it with me......"

"I ate ......," Xia Bilei admitted, "but I immediately found a chance to throw up." ”

It turned out that Wu Er was also poisoned, since he participated in the poisoning of Wu Da, of course the little fat man would not suddenly become a moral model, he was just a little congested, it turned out that Ah Mao and Bi Lei's sister hooked up so early.

"But I've also reflected on it." Xia Bilei sighed, "It's too long for food to restrain each other. ”

"It's not without good." Qin Mao comforted, "At least it won't be discovered lightly, if you want to poison people quickly, you should learn poison/medicine from me, for example, this is called a seven-step drunk poison ......."

"Wait!" The more he listened, the more wrong the little fat man dropped the spoon in his hand, "Aren't you afraid that Sister Bilei will be struck by lightning?" She's going to be a good person! ”

That's right, Xia Bilei has a sad face, she almost forgot about it, she is going to be a virgin.

Qin Mao sighed rarely, "I know more about poison, but I know less about medicine, or I'll tell you some medicine to save people." ”

This can be there, the little fat man nodded in satisfaction. The little fat man knows that he is not smart, but he intuitively knows who can be friends and who should stay away. For Xia Bilei, he has always been very relieved, even if there is no such thing as being struck by lightning for not doing good deeds, he can see that she has a good essence in the coldness of everyone sweeping the snow in front of the door and ignoring the frost on the tiles of others. But for Qin Mao, his perception is much more complicated, he is not a bad person but he is definitely not a good person in any sense, he looks at the world coldly, and does not expect the world to give him a warm response...... When they first met, the little fat man actually stayed away from him, even if he knew that he ran away with his brother, he didn't feel moved, because he knew that if he became a burden, Qin Mao would definitely not rise to help......

By the way, when did Qin Mao change?

"What's the fuss?" Qin Mao handed over a grilled fish, "Eat it, I specially made more grilled fish today, so that you don't keep shouting that you can't eat enough." ”

The little fat man grinned, change is imperceptible, not to talk about the past, he feels that he can become a good brother of Qin Mao for life.

**

The little fat man burped contentedly, "The fish is so delicious, but I want to sleep when I am full." ”

Xia Bilei, who also eats a round belly, quietly changed her sitting posture to try to make her lower abdomen less obvious, "Mao, why don't we take a rest, it's just time to sleep in the summer heat." ”

"It's not summer yet." Qin Mao also resisted the urge to yawn, "Didn't you shout before that you wanted to get to Yanzhou faster?" ”

The little fat man was a little embarrassed, "Aren't we not familiar with catching a car?" Slow down, slow down, anyway, let's take care of safety first. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Bilei nodded violently, "Fatty, you wanted to hurry up last time, but you almost fell into the ditch." ”

"You got lost yesterday." Not to be outdone, the little fat man retorted, "We walked for half a day in vain, and you also went the wrong way the day before yesterday......"

Xia Bilei smiled dryly, isn't it without GPS.

"Ah Mao can't go anywhere in a hurry......" Xia Bilei was empty-hearted.

Okay, Qin Mao is silent, he is also lazy, basically the horse can go as fast as he wants, he just doesn't deviate.

"Ahem, slow down, slow down, the horses also need to rest, and it can't go so fast." Qin Mao also defended himself.

All three of them were at fault, and the little fat man decisively changed the subject: "What about the rest of the fish?" Can you only throw it away? It's a pity that it's too hot to leave it for too long, otherwise it would be nice for us to get more fish in the wagon......"

Xia Bilei was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Who said that it can't be stored for a long time, let's salt it, and then dry it on the roof of the carriage, and the dried fish can be stored for as long as possible, and the most important thing is that we don't have to spend money to buy it!" ”

The little fat man swallowed his saliva, "Isn't this salted fish?" I like to eat salted fish. ”

Qin Mao didn't say much, and picked up the bamboo stick that had just pierced the fish, "I'll go and stab the fish." ”

The little fat man also felt that his whole body was full of strength, "I'll go fishing." ”

Qin Mao shook his hand, the thorn fish is also a strength work, but if you can eat fish every day in the future, you feel that your hands are sore and you can't bear it, thinking of this, Qin Mao's face is a little unpredictable, thinking that at the beginning, the chef used the best seasonings to carefully spend most of the time to make the fish, and he was still condescending to take chopsticks to pick up the most tender meat under the fish's gills and eat one or two bites, which is like now, eating a fish with more thorns and less ingredients and simply grilling and grilling.

Looking at Qin Mao and the little fat man's tired appearance, Xia Bilei who was by the lake secretly scolded herself for being useless, if only she could catch fish...... Wait, she's fishing?

"I've come up with a good way to catch a lot of fish." Xia Bilei clapped her hands happily, "You hurry up from the water, I'll catch the fish, you just kill the fish." ”

"The girl's house should not soak in too much water." Qin Mao disagreed.

"Don't worry." Xia Bilei disagreed, "I don't have to go to the lake, just be on the shore, fat, you come and help sprinkle some steamed buns into the lake to attract some fish." ”

Xia Bilei remembered the beautiful red fish in the park who were not afraid of people, on the contrary, gathered when they saw someone, because people often fed food, they were so fat that they couldn't do it, although the fish in this lake were not so fat, but they were greedy.

The little fat man watched in amazement as blue lightning flashed across the lake, and then fish floated on the surface of the water with white bellies.

Well, the results of the fishing tournament were announced: Xia Bilei was first, Qin Mao was second, and he was third. The fish in second and third place together are less than one-third of the fish in first place.
