Chapter 5 must be sharpened

"Grandpa, my brother is already killing fish, and he said he wants to cook for us!" Ma Xiaomei smiled and showed a pair of dimples.

Ma Xiaomei's little face is very proud, as if she is cooking!

Come and praise me!

Wait a minute!

The fish made by my brother is delicious, but I don't know if it will be grilled or not!

Anyway, as long as it's not much worse than grilled fish, it's delicious!

Ma Xiaomei's eyes lit up happily.

"Oh, when will the big baby cook?" Grandpa was a little surprised.

On this day, I get up early and go down the mountain in the dark, and it is impossible to say that I am not tired!

On weekdays, it's normal to go home so late, and it's not too late.

Even if I was delayed on the road for a while today, I still came back early.

It's just that I didn't expect the big baby to be able to cook, and I can't believe it!

Didn't the big baby always know how to cook before?

Why do you know how to cook dinner all of a sudden?

It's incredible!

Could it be that the two children were too hungry at home during the day and secretly learned to cook?

It's also possible!

Kindness!

That's what it looks like......

"Today, my brother took me to catch fish, and made grilled fish for me to eat, it tastes good, it's even better than Grandpa's cooking!" Ma Xiaomei waved her hands and said happily about grilling fish at noon.

Ma Xiaomei never forgot the taste of grilled fish at noon, which can be said to be the best she has eaten in so many years.

Even if she hit Grandpa while talking, she couldn't take care of it, and besides, she didn't have so much care!

In her thoughts, it would be the happiest thing to be able to eat her brother's food every day in the future.

If you eat the dishes made by Grandpa again, I'm afraid it will be tasteless!

"It's so powerful, then Grandpa is going to have a good taste!" Grandpa was a little skeptical, but he still said very exaggerated and happy.

The grandfather who said it didn't believe it, this wouldn't be an exaggeration by the little sister, right?

Could it be that she doesn't eat fish very often, or maybe it's grilled fish?

Eat it once in a while to be so delicious?

Or even the reason why you are too hungry during the day to feel that it tastes so delicious?

Grandpa thought about it, but felt that it was a little impossible!

"Brother is amazing, grandpa, didn't you say that the fish will die if they leave the water?" Ma Xiaomei smiled, with a big expression on her face.

Ma Xiaomei remembers this matter clearly, but when Grandpa chatted with her before, he said that the fish would die when they left the water.

But now it has broken Ma Xiaomei's three views!

Ma Li caught the fish for a long time, not only made a meal of grilled fish, but also walked a long way.

After returning home for such a long time, the fish are still alive, which is not the scene that Grandpa said that the fish will die if they leave the water.

is completely detached from the truth that Grandpa said.

"Yes, can the fish be alive without the water?" said Grandpa with a strange face.

It's common sense that fish will die when they leave the water!

The wealth and poverty of a person's life, the number of years of life, etc., are limited by the established encounters, and people can only obey the arrangement of God, and only by responding to the heavens can they accumulate blessings and eliminate disasters.

Just like the current predicament of my own family, I don't know when it will be the end?

Nowadays, why is it not "life and death", "wealth is in the sky"!

This is a fate that cannot be changed, is there something wrong with this?

Everyone knows that fish can't do without water, which is the same as "people live a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense".

Grandpa smiled helplessly, what's wrong with my little sister today?

It's not kidding me, is it?

"But after my brother caught the fish, we also ate the grilled fish, and it has been a long time since we got home, and the fish is still alive!" Ma Xiaomei said proudly.

Ma Xiaomei's eyes are very thief, and when she looks at Grandpa's expression, she can estimate that he doesn't believe her words!

hurriedly told what she had seen and heard.

How can you not believe it?

I'll take you to see it.

"Oh, there's this kind of thing, then Grandpa is going to see how the big baby got it!" Grandpa put Ma Xiaomei down and began to pack up some medicinal herbs, fruits, and so on that he got back from the mountains!

This time I went to the mountains as usual, and I picked some medicinal materials that could be sold smoothly in the market, as well as some mountain goods and so on.

It's just that although there are a lot of these things, the price is not expensive, and the family lives very hard.

I don't know when it's going to be?

It's just that the two grandchildren are so young, how can I, an old guy, have to hold on for a few more years.

It's good to wait for the big babies to grow up slowly!

Although the two children are not very old, they are still very sensible.

"Brother, Grandpa is back, he wants to see how you get the live fish!" Ma Xiaomei immediately ran back to the well and said to Ma Li, who was cleaning the fish guts.

Grandpa was still packing up the medicinal materials and mountain goods that he got back from the mountain in front, and Ma Xiaomei couldn't help much.

In addition, Grandpa didn't believe what she said, so he decided to run inside, intending to let his brother tell Grandpa himself.

Ma Xiaomei shook her two little short legs and ran quickly to Ma Li's side.

"Oh! I heard it, but the fish were all killed, so I can only wait for the next time to show it to Grandpa!" Ma Li was still cleaning the fish guttals, raised his head, and said with some embarrassment.

The sound of Grandpa coming back, Ma Li heard it very early.

Even if he was chatting with Ma Xiaomei, Ma Li vaguely heard something!

"Hey, why kill them all, grandpa won't say I'm a liar, right?" Ma Xiaomei said with some complaint and a little grievance.

Just now, she said it to her grandfather, not to mention the earth-shattering sound, but how can she boast about Haikou!

But now my brother has destroyed all the evidence, which is really too much to say!

But my brother also killed fish for dinner, so I can't seem to blame him completely!

"It's okay, you tell Grandpa about the willow trees in the fish's mouth and gills, and Grandpa will know that you are not lying!" Ma Li hurriedly said with a smile.

Ma Li saw Ma Xiaomei's expression and knew that if he didn't persuade him, he would cry a lot, so he hurriedly comforted him, and was just about to continue:

It's a big deal to catch some fish tomorrow and come back, if you don't kill them all by then, you can leave it for Grandpa to see.

As a result, Ma Xiaomei turned around and ran away in a hurry-

"Oh, okay, then I'll talk to Grandpa again!" Ma Xiaomei hurriedly ran back to Grandpa......

"You said it would be better if I had fishing tools tomorrow to catch fish?" Ma Li asked the boss about the cultivation system.

Ma Li was killing fish on the one hand, but he was thinking about how to better improve the way to gain prestige points.

At the moment, killing fish is the best and fastest way to gain reputation points.

The problem is that if you want to kill fish, you must first increase the number of fish!

So how do you increase the number of fish?

Better tools make good work!

If you want to catch more fish, you need to find the right tools to increase the number of fish!

The best thing to do is, of course, to get tools for fishing.

But where can I find fishing tools?

To say that the village market to buy?

That will definitely have.

Not to mention whether the price is expensive or not!

Can the workmanship alone be compared with the product produced by the boss cultivation system?

So Ma Li thought about it again and again, and planned to find the boss cultivation system to help solve this problem.

"Of course, you still have two skills to upgrade now, why don't you try it?" the boss gave an affirmative reply, and encouraged Ma Li to improve his skills in making fishing tools.

"Oh, do you mean the beginner skill of a 'skilled craftsman'?" said Ma Li with a smile on his face.

'Skilled craftsmen' are what we usually call people with great craftsmanship.

This 'craftsman' is not only capable of making simple fishing tools, but also some other tools, and his skills are super strong.

can be said to be the world-famous Luban——

Luban has invented mechanical, civil, and manual crafts.

Hand tools used by master carpenters, such as saws, drills, planers, shovels, curved rulers, and ink fountains for marking.

According to legend, it was all invented by Luban.

The invention of each tool is inspired by Luban in production practice, and it has been repeatedly studied and tested.

Lu Ban paid attention to practice all his life, was good at using his brain, and made great contributions to construction and machinery.

He was able to build "palaces and pavilions";

He has made the "cloud ladder" for siege and the "Gouqiang" for boat warfare;

created a wooden carriage with a "mechanism system";

He invented various wooden tools such as curved rulers, ink fountains, and chisels, as well as grinding, grinding, and locking.

The most powerful thing is-

"The male loses the bamboo and wood and thinks it is a magpie, and it flies for three days. ”

That is to say, the wooden bird made by Luban can fly high in the air by the wind and do not land for three days.

What if Ma Li could acquire the skills of a 'skilled craftsman'?

Even if it's a 'skilled craftsman' primary skill!

Even if it's not a Luban-level 'skilled craftsman'!

Ma Li also laughed......

"If you want to be beautiful, at most you will have the basic skills of making some farm fishing tools, and you can't be regarded as a skilled craftsman!" said the boss of the cultivation system.

"It's okay, do you think you want to optimize your fishing skills as well?" Ma Li nodded, thinking that this would be fine.

Not only can you improve your fishing skills, but you can also make simple farm tools in an occasional way, and I also mentioned fishing skills in passing.

"Do you want to upgrade your fishing skills to beginner skills as well?" asked the boss retort.

"Forget it, let's do the same first! lest you learn too many skills at once, which others can't accept!" Ma Li thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to take it step by step first.

Being able to grill fish, cook and make fishing tools is already amazing.

If you know how to fish again, I'm afraid others won't be able to accept it all of a sudden.

It's not easy to let people think of him as a demon!

What is a demon?

All strange and abnormal things and phenomena. People who make people feel incredible and beyond common sense, as long as they are said to be non-so-called Tianxiang, then such people are often called "demons".

If you are suspected of being a demon in the countryside?

There is often only one outcome!

That was burned alive on a firestand.

Ma Li finished cleaning the fish and was about to go into the kitchen to cook, when he happened to meet Grandpa who was cleaning up, "Grandpa, why did you come back so late today?"

"Oh, when I came back today, I met the matchmaker Yu's old sister-in-law!" Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile.

At first, Grandpa came down the mountain quite early, even if he returned to the village, it was not too late.

But when you meet the people in the village, it is inevitable that the east and west families will talk a few words.

In addition, I can't feel the time when I chat, so I don't feel like it has been long in a blink of an eye, but I didn't expect to be a little late when I got home compared to usual!

"What's the matter, could it be that Grandma Yu is still planning to be a matchmaker for you?" said Ma Li with a hippie smile.

The grandmother of the Yu family is not too old, probably less than fifty years old, she lost her husband at an early age, and she didn't even have time to leave a descendant.

I haven't been able to find a suitable one in the village, and I've been widowed since I was young.

Because it is convenient for the grandmother of the Yu family to enter and leave the houses of people in the village, it is easy to communicate with the people who are parents.

It plays a matchmaking role in the marriage of Qili and Eight Villages.

In order to make a living, I gradually started the noble profession of matchmaker!

It's not very prestigious in the village, but it's still quite respected.

In addition, she is also smart and skilled in the vicinity of Qili and Eight Villages on weekdays, and she is well-versed in human affairs;

and diligent and hard-working;

Able to speak well and be organized;

There are still some economic acumen, and they can grasp fairness and moderation in the settlement of the two sides to make a decision, which makes everyone in the village happy.

Also, there is one most important thing.

After so many years of being a matchmaker, the grandmother of the Yu family can be regarded as having a good reputation and a good reputation.

All marriages that have been brokered by him, although they cannot be said to be husband and wife and beauty, children and daughters, family and business, and in-laws complement each other, but they can be regarded as more or less passing, which will naturally attract more business.

In the village, there is no order from parents, and the legitimacy of marriage is not recognized.

Therefore, the matchmaker of the Yu family is an indispensable role in Qili and Eight Villages.

"You bastard, the old sister-in-law of the Yu family will be a matchmaker for you, and she won't be a matchmaker for me, who will be willing to follow me, an old man!" Grandpa's face turned red and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and said complainingly.

What kind of wife does he want to find at his age?

The big baby is really messing around!

"Then why is she pulling you to talk!" Ma Li asked casually.

Grandma Yu's matchmaker may be a professional relationship, she talks a lot and is very capable of chatting, and many people are afraid to see it, so she often quickly finds an excuse to break up after chatting a few words!

It is said that she has a three-inch incorruptible tongue-

But it can't be said to be rhetorical and fanning the flames.

For the grandmother's statement, if she does this, it will inevitably cause criticism from the neighbors of Qili and Eight Villages, and the road will be eye-catching. In this way, she can't continue to read the business scriptures.

Especially in the small mountain villages of Qili and Eight Villages, more than ten miles have the same surname, and hundreds of miles also climb relatives, good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

If the grandmother of the Yu family dared to 'point to the east and talk about the west, deceive the heavens and the earth, and damage the yin and morality', others would have smashed the door of her house a long time ago!

"I'm watching you grow up in a few years, and many 13 or 4-year-old babies in our village already have mothers-in-law. Grandpa wondered if he should let the old sister-in-law of the Yu family pay attention to you and see which family in the nearby Qili Eight Village has a good girl!" Grandpa said the cause and effect.

It's a long-term plan.

Who knows when you'll be alive!

It's better to let the big baby get married as soon as possible.

It's a pity that my own family can't survive, which girl is willing to come!

It seems that I can only wait for the big baby to get older, where to find a job, and then slowly figure out a way!

"Grandpa, I'm still early! What's more, now that I'm capable, I may not be looking for a daughter-in-law in Qili Eight Villages!" Ma Li's face turned red, and he thought to himself, why did he tell me about finding his mother-in-law again!

"Oh, don't you still look down on the girl from the nearby Qili Eight Village?" Grandpa laughed.

"That's not it, it's just that I have a lot of strength, and I can cook now, what girl wouldn't like me!" Ma Li said proudly.

Strength is a great thing in the countryside, and a lot of farm work needs people with great strength to do it.

In the countryside, sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, etc. are not manual work.

If you don't have a lot of strength, can you do it?

Even if you barely finish all this farm work—

The land outside is considered to be cultivated, but what about the land inside the house?

Do you still have the strength to plow?

If you don't have the strength to plough the land at home, the mother-in-law at home can still live a good life!

That's not a big deal.

The husband is sluggish -

The so-called three outlines and five constants are the monarch as the minister, the father as the son, and the husband as the wife.

In the village, the latter listens to the former.

If the husband is sluggish, that is, the wife does not obey her husband!

This is not just a lack of disobedience to her husband in a mountain village.

That's going to be scolded all day long, and if it's worse, you'll be beaten by your wife at every turn.

"That's right, but big baby, don't be too proud, do you know what the old sister-in-law of the Yu family told me just now?" Grandpa smiled, as if remembering the funny thing that the old sister-in-law of the Yu family said just now.

"What did you say?" asked Ma Li curiously.

"Wei Ze's simple boy went on a blind date a few days ago, and the old sister-in-law of the Yu family told him: 'Be humble when you meet for the first time, don't embarrass the girl. Grandpa said in the tone of the old sister-in-law of the Yu family.

"That's right!" Ma Li nodded in approval.

"Yes, that's quite right, but what about the result! Wei Ze's naïve boy is funny and funny-

The male and female babies are quite satisfied with each other, and their impressions of each other are good.

The girl looked at Wei Ze's simple boy and felt that he was burly and talented, so she asked: 'How can you be willing to go on a blind date with me if your conditions are so good?'" Grandpa thought it was funny when he talked about it, and he laughed himself.

"Oh, did Wei Ze say something strange?" Ma Li immediately understood the meaning of Grandpa's words.

"Why not, Wei Ze's humble boy said very modestly: 'Where, like me, how can a good girl take a fancy to me?'" Grandpa said in imitation of Yu Weize's tone.

"Haha! Uncle Wei Ze is worthy of being a talent, could it be that these words were learned to you by the matchmaker Yu's old sister-in-law?" Ma Li also suddenly felt interesting.

"That is, that day made the old sister-in-law of the Yu family so angry. But fortunately, today's daughter-in-law's family asked the old sister-in-law of the Yu family to pass the word, saying that the girl's family basically agreed to this marriage!"

"Oh, it looks like it won't be long before you can drink Uncle Wei Ze's wedding wine!" Ma Li's heart moved, didn't he have to ask the chef to help with the wedding wine!

If you use your own craftsmanship, can you still catch it?

If you can become a chef, you may be able to increase your family's income!

"Well, but a few days ago, the master who cooks near Qili and Eight Villages is not in good health, and I heard that he has had a stroke! I don't know where Wei Ze's humble boy will go to find the master chef to cook the dishes for the wine!"

"Oh, does the master who held the wedding banquet collect money?" Ma Li thought to himself, isn't this an opportunity to make money!

"Why don't you take it? Only fools don't accept it, which chef would be so stupid! A table of dishes costs at least 100 yuan, and generally more than 20 tables in our village, then it's almost 2,000 yuan!" said the envious grandfather very loudly.

Grandpa still has some regrets, if only he learned cooking skills when he was young, he could live by his skills!

It's a pity that this cooking skill is not something that can be learned if you want to, and sometimes it depends on talent and luck.
