Chapter 115: Buying melons [Fifth Update, Recommendation Ticket Appreciation Chapter]
Li Si watched the carriage go away, so he picked up the silver, put it into the mustard seed space, and then found some dry firewood nearby and piled it up, and then lit the dry firewood.
After lighting the bonfire, he took off his clothes again and bathed in the stream.
I only killed someone yesterday, and I touched the human bones again this morning, and I felt really a little unlucky, and Li Si wanted to wash this bad luck away.
That is, while bathing, he also walked around the stream, catching a few fish from time to time and coming ashore.
There are some fish in this stream, but there are not too many, that is, Li Si is better at catching them, and it will be difficult for others.
After taking a shower, he washed his clothes, then found a few pieces of wood at random, built a rack around the campfire, and put his clothes on the rack for the campfire to dry.
When he had done all this, he began to deal with the fish, again as usual, by squeezing out the entrails of the fish, then finding a thin stone to scrape the scales, and then passing bamboo through the small fish and roasting them over the fire.
However, although it is the same as the last time, this time it is a lot more seasoning than the last time, such as paprika, pepper and the like.
This is still due to the Minyi, although he didn't take anything from the vegetables, Li Si still got some seasoning in the kitchen before the fire.
He was a little anxious to come out of Fengmen County before, and he didn't bring all these things, but this time he just made up for them.
At the same time, there is a mustard seed space, but he can carry a lot more things, and he is lightweight.
Li Si was a lot more careful about the grilled fish this time, and he didn't bake it, it still looked very good, pink and golden.
It tastes passable, the tender fish and the taste of the seasoning make him have a great appetite for the fish he has not eaten for several days, and he eats the fish he caught at once.
After eating the fish, Li Si took off the clothes that were drying on the stand and touched them, but they were already dry.
Then he put on his clothes and put out the bonfire with a clay pot.
After doing all this, Li Si walked to the side of the official road, untied the reins of the jujube red horse, mounted the horse and continued to drive in the direction of Jingning County.
After a distance of about ten miles, he finally saw a place with people, and a small village passed by a small road to the left of the official road, and Li Si could see the curling green smoke coming out of the village chimney on the official road.
However, what caught Li Si's attention was that there was a melon field next to the official road, and he could vaguely see watermelons lying in the melon field, which couldn't help but make him a little thirsty.
At the same time, he also saw a pergola in the melon field, and next to the pergola sat an old man with unkempt gray hair, this old man was naked, leaning against the shadow of the pergola, squinting his eyes slightly, fanning the wind with a puff, looking comfortable.
Li Si smiled slightly, dismounted, and led the horse towards the pergola.
As he walked towards the old man, the old man also heard the movement and raised his head to look at Li Si, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"Old man, is this the road to Jingning County ahead?" Li Si asked politely towards the old man.
Hearing Li Si's polite question, the old man's vigilance changed a little, and he nodded towards Li Si and said, "Well, just go forward." ”
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction ahead.
Seeing the old man pointing the way, Li Si nodded with a smile, and then pointed to the melon field on the side and asked the old man: "Old man, do you sell this melon?" ”
As soon as he heard that Li Si was going to buy melons, the old man suddenly laughed, propped up his body, stood up and asked, "Can ......you sell it?" Naturally, I can sell it, my melon is sweet......"
As he spoke, he walked to the melon field to choose melons, looked left and right, selected a watermelon and knocked it a few times, and then found another watermelon.
The old man weighed the two watermelons in his hand, and then pointed to one of the watermelons and said to Li Si: "This weight is heavy, it must be sweet, or is it this?" ”
Li Si is not very good at picking watermelons, but it is quite interesting to watch the old man pick watermelons, he also approached, took two watermelons and weighed them in his two hands, and said: "Well, this is really heavy, so let's do this." ”
The old man saw Li Si holding a watermelon in one hand, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect this little baby to be so thin and have so much strength, but he didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll weigh it for you." ”
So saying, he went to the pergola, and got the scales.
And Li Si's expression was slightly stunned at this time, as if he sensed something, and his face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.
Just as the old man was taking the scale, he broke the vine.
Then Li Si took the watermelon and walked towards the old man, with a hesitant look on his face.
The hesitation in Li Si's eyes gradually faded, and then he looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, there seems to be someone in your pergola?" ”
Hearing Li Si's question, the old man's hand holding the scale paused slightly, turned back to Li Si and smiled: "Oh, it's my wife who is taking a nap inside, let's move quietly, don't make any noise to her." ”
"Well, it won't be noisy." Li Si nodded, and then handed the watermelon to the old man.
Then the old man took the scale and weighed it.
"This watermelon weighs twelve pounds, you can just give twelve copper coins." The old man said to Li Si with a smile.
Li Si nodded, took out twelve copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the old man.
He looked like he was handed out of his sleeve, but he was actually taken out of the mustard seed space.
"Thank you, and I wish you a nice trip." The old man took the money handed over by Li Si, and his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"By the way, old man, do you have a basket here, I can't take it, how about I buy a bamboo basket from you?" Li Si suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to the old man with some distress.
The old man glanced at Li Si, then glanced at the red rabbit horse, nodded and said, "It's really a little difficult to take, I'll get you a bamboo basket, don't want your money." ”
So saying, the old man went into the pergola and went to get the bamboo basket.
And Li Si looked at the old man's back, sighed slightly, and took advantage of this time to take out a few silver nudes from the mustard seed space, walked to the place where the old man was sitting before, and put the silver nude down.
Then he went back to his place and waited.
"This son, how about this bamboo basket, can you use it?" Not long after, the old man walked out with a bamboo basket and said to Li Sidao with a sincere smile.
"Yes, then thank you old man." Li Si took the bamboo basket and put the watermelon into the bamboo basket, which seemed to be indeed much more convenient.
"There's nothing to thank you for, good luck along the way." The old man smiled.
When Li Liren heard the old man's words, his expression paused slightly, then he shook his head and smiled, and then led the horse and walked to the official road.
