At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 204 Fishing is the most boring thing
He looked at me as if I were his own silly child, "Who told you to respect your cousin's choice?
It's been almost half an hour, and you're still thinking about a multiple-choice question with only two options.
This means that your brain is not suitable for worrying about others.
As for you, I'll take care of you. Use your few brain cells sparingly. I'd be heartbroken if you used one less."
I always feel that there is something wrong with these words and suspect that he is scolding me, but I have no evidence.
"Okay, don't think too much. I still have a day off today and can take you to the mountains in the north to fish for rainbow trout."
He successfully diverted my attention. "Are there rainbow trout in the mountains of City A?"
Rainbow trout is a cold-water fish. Previously, it was only known to be found in the North Pacific Ocean. Now it can be found in the mountains of City A as well?
"Someone in the mountains has set up a farm stay and raised some rainbow trout. They catch and eat them right after they're caught. People just want to enjoy the novelty."
Seriously lacking in leisure and entertainment experience, I asked a stupid question without realizing it: "If I can't catch it, does that mean I can't eat it?"
The corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc: "Have you ever fished?"
I thought about it carefully and decided I had some experience, but I still asked modestly, "Does fishing for goldfish in a basin at the park count?"
"Well! This little bit of experience is enough."
The car drove into the mountains along the winding mountain road. It had snowed in City A a few days ago, and there was still some snow in the shady areas of the mountains.
Small wooden houses of various shapes began to appear halfway up the mountain. Xiao Shiqiu drove into a small farmyard with the words "Linxi Xiaozhu" written on the gate.
There are not many people visiting the mountains at this time of year. The yard is quiet and there are only a few tourists.
Next to the courtyard there is a rectangular pool made of cement. I looked down and saw that the pool was full of fish. Maybe it was because of the cold weather, the fish didn't swim much in the water, just wagging their tails occasionally, looking lazy.
No wonder Xiao Shiqiu said my little experience was enough. "Why fish at this density?" A net would be enough.
At this time, the fat middle-aged boss came out and greeted him with a smile from a distance: "Hey, Mr. Xiao, it's been a long time since you came. How come you have time to come here with your wife today?"
I was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Shiqiu looked calm, smiling and chatting with the fat boss: "Yes, it's been a long time since I last had your one fish three ways dish. She has never been here, so I brought her here to try it today."
As he said this, he put his arm around my shoulders affectionately. The fat boss immediately understood what he meant, and his chubby face smiled so hard that his eyes were squeezed into slits.
"Would you like to let the beautiful lady catch one herself today, or should I get a fat one for you?"
"Let her fish. The little girl loves to play." He touched my head lovingly, and the fat boss immediately handed me the fishing rod enthusiastically.
This fishing rod is just a thin bamboo pole with a line tied to it, similar to the one I used in the small park, and it is completely different from the professional fishing method I imagined.
I threw the hook into the pond, watched it get bitten, and finally Xiao Shiqiu helped me pull the fish out.
There is absolutely no technical skill involved in the whole process and fishing is not fun at all. I really don't understand why so many people like fishing.
The fat boss came over to me cheerfully and praised me: "Your technique is quite good, beautiful lady. This fish is really fat, it must be delicious."
As he said that, he casually handed the fish to the staff beside him and said, "Go, make one fish three ways to eat it. Sashimi first."
I looked at the fish in my friend's hand, then at the fish in the pond, and I understood what it meant to lie with open eyes.
If you want to eat this fish three times, I'm afraid its weight is not enough. However, since the boss said it can be eaten three times, he will always find a way.
As the saying goes, it takes five minutes to fish and two hours to eat fish. I was happily waiting in the private room for the "fruits of my labor" to be served.
Suddenly, the fat boss shouted in the yard, "Mrs. Xiao, what brings you here?"
