Chapter 22 Visiting the West Mountain
"Grandma, I'm going in to wash the dishes and chopsticks~"
"No, no, no, I've washed it~"
The two were at the door of the house, chatting with the old grandmother for a while, Mingyue got up and planned to go into the house to wash the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by the old grandmother and told her that the dishes and chopsticks had been washed.

So, Mingyuan, Mingyue and the old grandmother chatted at the door of the house, laughing from time to time, and showing surprise from time to time.
"You guys go to the town for a walk, don't stay here with me, an old man, go ahead~"
The old grandmother probably thought that chatting with the two young people all the time would delay their play, so the old woman said to the two.
Mingyue responded with a smile: "It's okay, besides, the town isn't open, and we don't know where to play, so it's better to chat with you here~"
"You kid can talk!"
When the old grandmother heard Mingyue's answer, she was naturally happy and praised her.
In fact, even Mingyuan was surprised by Mingyue's performance, when I first met, Mingyue was very cold, didn't like to talk, and now, sometimes coquettish, sometimes shy...
"But it's rare to come back, you have to go for a walk, you can't tell others, I came to Xishan Town and slept for a few nights, I didn't see anything~"
The old grandmother said very seriously to Mingyuan and Mingyue, patted Mingyue's arm, and motioned for them to go for a walk.
"Then let's go for a walk and come back later~"
What the old grandmother said is not unreasonable, she is here, take a look, maybe there are any clues, so she took Mingyuan and planned to take a walk.
"Oh, by the way, when you come here, you must taste the treasured fruits of Xishan, and there are dramas in Xiluo Teahouse, you can go and listen to it!"
Just when Mingyuan and Mingyue were about to leave, the old grandmother remembered the most famous Xiluo Teahouse and Zhenguo Fang in Xishan Town, and recommended them to the two.
"Okay~Grandma, then let's go~"
When the words fell, the old grandmother waved at the two, and then, Mingyuan and Mingyue began to wander aimlessly along the road that extended in all directions.
The division of Xishan Town is very clear, a total of nine areas, the middle two areas are accommodation, the accommodation area, there is a big well, which can be used for daily drinking and washing, the entrance of three regional shops (snacks, decorations, clothing, etc.), the left area is the stadium (billiards hall, chess room, entertainment room, but there is no KTV), the right area of the Zhenguo Fang (monopoly sales of Xishan's unique rare fruits, you can sign up for group picking), and a Xiluo teahouse is in the most corner of Xishan.
Smelling a trace of aroma, Mingyuan and Mingyue walked into the Zhenguo Fang with an extremely curious attitude, only to see all kinds of Zhenguo on the shelves, dazzling.
"Hello, what is this?"
Mingyue curiously pointed to the red fruits on a row of shelves and asked the salesman on the side.
"Hello, this is one of our five specialties in Xishan, red pearl fruit, rich in vitamins, as well as a large number of trace elements, has the effect of brightening the eyes, clearing heat, is very beneficial to the human body!"
The salesman replied politely, and then explained to Mingyuan and Mingyue very enthusiastically about the nutritional value of red pearl fruit and what kind of effect it has.
"You can try it too!"
The salesman picked up two red pearl fruits that were like quail eggs and laughed and handed them to Ming Yuan and Ming Yue, indicating that they could taste them first.
"Hmm~ delicious, I didn't expect a small one, so much juice~"
"Hmm~~~"
Mingyue took a bite, and was immediately fascinated by the deliciousness of the red pearl fruit, and then stuffed the whole thing into her mouth, while still sighing, Mingyuan on the side also opened her eyes, feeling the delicious taste on the tip of her tongue.
"Need to sell some? Now there are discounts~" The salesman threw out the bait of temptation while the iron was hot.
"Sell, sell, sell~"
Seeing what she likes, and hearing about the discount, the woman's heart has basically fallen, Mingyue said while looking at Mingyuan, looking forward to it, because the money is all on Mingyuan's body.
"Of course it's going to be sold!"
Ming Yuan was almost stunned by Mingyue's eyes, so he nodded to the salesman very generously and said.
"What are the four other specialties of Xishan?"
The two took the small paper bag handed over by the seller, and selected the red pearl fruit, Mingyuan asked curiously, which aroused Mingyue's interest again.
"In addition to the red pearl fruit, the other four are watermelon, white jade dew, Jinfei gold and meridian fish."
The salesman introduced the two of them like a few treasures.
"Watermelon, white jade dew, gold and non-gold, meridian fish, do you have any of these here?" Mingyuan asked curiously.
"This is the watermelon, you see this is different from the outside, the melon body has a unique wavy pattern, crisp and delicious..."
"This is white jade dew, shaped like a pearl, transparent like jade, and the outside is a thin layer of cicada film, which melts in the mouth and can also be drunk.."
"This is not golden, golden yellow, round in the form of a ball, with the skin removed, and there are four small petals of flesh inside, sweet and sour taste..."
The salesman saw that the two of them had almost selected the red pearl fruit here, so he took the two of them around, while enthusiastically introducing them to the two.
The two of them were very curious about what they saw, so with the help of the salesman, Ming Yuan was already carrying four paper bags in his hands, and he bought some of each.
"What about the meridian fish, why didn't you see that you have fish sellers here?"
Mingyue stretched her neck to look around, didn't see any fish, and asked puzzled.
"Meridian fish, it's not for sale."
"Didn't sell it?"
"Well, there is a meridian well in the town, every day at noon and in the middle of the night, there will be schools of fish, but whether you can eat it depends entirely on luck, some people may not be able to eat it in these three or five years, and some people can catch it in a minute~"
Facing Mingyuan and Mingyue's incomprehension, the salesman patiently explained them one by one.
Then, the two left Zhenguo Fang, and with curiosity, walked to the meridian well, which they passed twice today.
"Huh? There's no one to take care of it~"
Ming Yuan stood by the meridian well and found that there were several fishing rods placed by the well for people to fish, and muttered puzzledly.
"There are no fish in the well, so you don't need to take care of it~"
Mingyue leaned in and looked into the well, only to see that although the wellhead was small, the inside seemed to be very large, and the well water was crystal clear, but there was not a single fish.
"Maybe it's not time yet, let's wait~"
So the two of them sat down in a clean place by the well, took out the precious fruits they had bought before, and began to taste them one by one.
After a while, someone came here, took care of a bucket of water from the well, and was about to leave, when he was stopped by Ming Yuan.
Ming Yuan asked, "Hello, big brother, I have a question for you, what kind of bait can be used to catch meridian fish?" ā
"Don't use bait, those who wish to take the bait~" After the eldest brother who fetched water left a sentence, he left with the bucket.
"It seems that it really depends on luck~" (To be continued.) )
