The midday sun was already high in the sky, and after a morning of hard work, I stretched my waist and moved my body.

It was almost the time agreed with the old man I met by the stream, and in the middle of summer, I hung up the veil again, turned around and walked out of the grove.

The address of the old man's house is not difficult to find, it is the shop where she used to buy steamed buns.

In the middle of summer, the road went straight to the front of the steamed bread shop, and the business of the steamed bread shop was still booming, with an endless stream of people coming in and out, and even a long queue at the door.

Midsummer looked at the crowded shop and gave up the intention of entering through the main entrance.

From here, it is estimated that everyone knows that she knows the people in the shop, although she is not afraid of exposure, but it is not suitable for others to know at the moment.

In the past few days, she has also known that she is a little different from other adventurers, and it is better to avoid trouble quietly.

Midsummer turned around and left, since the pharmacy has a backyard, this shop should also have a backyard, and it is safer for her to enter through the back door.

Midsummer went around a circle to the backyard of the steamed bun shop, the small courtyard is very similar to the backyard of Li's hometown, except that the courtyard is not a fence but a stone, but the stone base is not high, just to the chest of an adult, standing by the fence can still clearly see the situation in the yard.

Sheng Xia was thinking about how to knock on the door, when he saw the old man he met yesterday coming out of the house, holding fishing gear in his hand, and slowly sitting on a stool in the yard to tidy up by himself.

Seeing the familiar old man in midsummer, he walked two steps to the door, and called happily while knocking on the door: "Old man, old man." ”

The old man was carefully arranging his beloved fishing gear when he heard a knock and shouting at the door.

He turned to look and saw the midsummer girl standing outside smiling. Thinking of yesterday's invitation, the old man put down the fishing gear in his hand and walked over with a smile.

"The midsummer girl is here." As he spoke, he opened the wooden door.

Midsummer greeted with a smile on her face: "Hello, old man." ”

"Okay, come in. Your Aunt Liu is cooking fish, so you can start the meal. As he spoke, he pointed to the stool in the yard for Midsummer to sit.

Although I accepted the invitation of the old man very calmly yesterday, I was a little embarrassed to see the old man so enthusiastic at this moment, after all, I had met by the stream yesterday. "Excuse me."

The old man saw that Midsummer was a little restrained, so he picked up the fishing gear and continued to tidy it up, while talking to Midsummer to divert her attention.

"You're curious how I met you?"

Midsummer sat obediently, and when he heard the old man's words, he quickly nodded and said with a little eagerness: "Yes, you called my name all of a sudden yesterday, and I was still strange." ”

"Hehehe."

When the old man saw Midsummer like this, he stopped teasing her.

"I run this village, you say, you, a person who has a friendly relationship with the villagers, can I not know?"

Then he changed his words: "Of course, I know that you are because of Li Lao." ”

Sure enough, it was Li Lao, and the old man's words confirmed Midsummer's conjecture.

At the same time, she was also curious about the so-called management of the village, and then asked, "You are the village chief here?" ”

"Yes, I am the 873rd generation village chief of Fengchao Village." The village chief said proudly: "You can call me the village chief grandfather in the future." ”

Midsummer smiled and said, I didn't expect the old man to be the village chief, the village chief, I don't know if the village's mission was issued by him.

The village chief finally put the fishing gear in order, shook it tentatively with the fishing rod, and asked, "Do you know how to fish?" ”

The village chief's question pulled Sheng Xia back from his distraction, and Sheng Xia temporarily put down the idea of asking the village chief, and shook her head, she doesn't know how to fish, but yesterday I saw the village chief fishing, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it.

Just put the hook in the water and wait for the fish to take the bait.

The village chief shook his head and smiled at Sheng Xia: "This fishing is not difficult to learn, it is important to concentrate, and waiting is always more difficult." You'd like to give it a try. ”

Seeing that Midsummer nodded again and again, the village chief continued: "Originally, to learn to fish, you need to learn to make fishing rods first, but you can forget it, since you are interested, I will give you a few." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house and took out a long box.

"These are a few bamboos that I got by chance in the back mountains in my early years, and I heard that they have been hundreds of years old, so I brought them back when I saw them as suitable for making fishing rods, and they have been sealed after they were done."

Midsummer took the long box and opened it, only to see that the bamboo lying quietly inside was all jet black, and time had not caused them to lose their luster, and they were still full of spirit as if they had just been folded off.

Pick up a fishing rod in the middle of summer:

Bamboo Fishing Rod - The sea is full of treasures that you can get with if you're patient.

Maker: The head of Fengchao Village

The village chief looked at the fishing rod in Midsummer's hand, reached out to pick up the hook and fishing line, and looked nostalgic.

"This thread is still what I asked for Aunt Weaving, the silk spit by Tianbao silkworms is invulnerable, with constant knives and guns, and it is very tough. This fish hook was made by Uncle Tie, and it was said that it was a good material for his family to press the bottom of the box. ”

Sheng Xia quietly listened to the village chief's reluctant tone, and knew how valuable this fishing rod was when he heard that, and was thinking about whether to return it to the village chief and let him change it to an ordinary one for her, so the village chief retracted his gaze and said firmly.

"Take these 3 fishing rods well, they can only be buried in my place, and you can only play their role if you follow them."

Midsummer didn't refuse again, and her tone was as if she was promised: "I will, I will use it well." ”

"Hmm. If you don't know anything about fishing, you can ask me. The village chief bowed.

"Thank you, village chief, thank you." Midsummer thanked with a grateful smile.

At this time, a milky voice came: "Grandpa, it's time to eat." I saw a little boy about 4 or 5 years old running over and holding the village chief's hand.

The village chief took advantage of the situation, first responded to the little boy with a smile, and then pointed to Shengxia and said to the little boy: "This is your sister Shengxia, do you want your sister to know?" ”

The little boy was very obedient and called out to his sister honestly. The village chief said to Sheng Xia again: "This is my grandson, little steamed bun." ”

Midsummer saw the village chief stand up, she also stood up, listened to the village chief's introduction, smiled at the little steamed bun friendly, and said hello.

Then he put the box in his backpack and followed the village chief into the house.

The room has already set up a table, full of dishes, including vegetables, braised pork, and potatoes, which are very hearty.

The most striking thing is the large pot of fish in the middle of the table, the white and tender fillets soaked in chili oil look very tempting, and they will make your mouth feel delicious before you eat them.

A chubby lady warmly greeted Midsummer and sat down, and said with a smile on her face: "What do you want to eat, come by yourself, you're welcome." ”

Midsummer nodded and smiled.

The village chief also greeted Midsummer: "This fish is what I caught yesterday, you can taste your Aunt Liu's craftsmanship, is it delicious." ”

In midsummer, pick up the fish fillet and taste it slowly, the fish meat is fresh and soft and smooth, and the seasoning is spicy and strong, which is very delicious.

Midsummer was no longer polite, and ate it in a big gulp.

Seeing that the food in midsummer was very fragrant, the village chief and Aunt Liu were very happy.
