The next scene made Luo Shaoze doubt his life again.
It was clearly the same operation, but Li Miaomiao was able to catch a big fat fish. He saw it with his own eyes. If someone else had told him this, he wouldn't have believed it.
"This fish must weigh two or three pounds, right?"
Luo Shaoze squatted beside Li Miaomiao's basket, watching the big fish jumping around in it.
Li Miaomiao felt amused when she saw Luo Shaoze like this. There were indeed fish in the river, but the ones she caught were those she bought from the system mall and put in the river. She used special bait and she always caught one.
However, she just discovered that not only the fish she released from the system space, but also the fish in the river seemed to like eating the bait she put down.
He caught two fish in a row, which made Luo Shaoze stunned.
"Miaomiao, what method do you use to make the fish in the river so easy to catch? I remember when I was a child, my grandfather also took me fishing, but I never caught any fish. Even if I caught some occasionally, they were only a few small fish."
"Want to know?"
"Of course, Miaomiao, tell me quickly. I'm really curious."
Li Miaomiao didn't continue to tease Luo Shaoze's appetite: "Actually, it's very simple, because the bait is different, it is made in a special way. The fish like to eat my bait and will take the bait."
"So that's how it is."
This reason seems simple, yet it is self-evident. The tools are the same, but others can't catch fish, only Li Miaomiao can. Isn't that a problem with the bait?
"That's all. Otherwise, do you think I have any special abilities? Actually, it was by chance that I kidnapped an old man. He was a fisherman when he was young, and he told me this method. Actually, I wasn't sure if this method would work at the time. After trying it, I realized that this bait is indeed extraordinary."
"You are kind-hearted, otherwise I would not tell you such a method."
Luo Shaoze knew Li Miaomiao. She had been running around for the affairs of the village before, and now she was running around for the affairs of China, regardless of her own danger, and involving herself in such a complicated environment. It was no wonder that such a kind-hearted girl would encounter such a good thing.
"Not really. I just helped out. I saw the old man was starving to death, so I gave him a steamed bun. I couldn't just watch him starve to death. I didn't expect the old man to be so honest."
"It may seem like a simple favor to you, but to the old man it's a lifesaver. A way to fish, it's worth it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We've already caught four or five fish, which is enough for dinner. Let's go back quickly, or we'll be late for lunch."
"We're a bunch of big men with big appetites. We might as well catch a few more, or I could eat two by myself."
Seeing Li Miaomiao catch a big fish with just one cast, Luo Shaoze was reluctant to leave.
Besides, Li Miaomiao’s cooking is delicious, so if you catch a few more, you can enjoy a satisfying meal.
Li Miaomiao was speechless. She wondered if people outside knew that Luo Shaoze also had such a childish side and was a big foodie.
At Luo Shaoze's request, Li Miaomiao caught a few more fish and filled the big basket she carried with her before stopping.
"That's enough for us to eat now, no more, or the straw won't cover it up, and if someone sees it, it'll cause a stir."
The situation was different today, perhaps because she was trapped in the factory, or because there were so many people at home, or because Zhou Shao had done something, and no one was watching outside, otherwise Li Miaomiao would not have considered coming out fishing.
"That's enough! It's too heavy for a woman like you to carry. Let me carry it."
Luo Shaoze was very conscientious in doing his work, and would not let Li Miaomiao, a woman, carry such a heavy thing, so he quickly picked up the backpack.
But he looked a little weird with his fancy clothes and such a big, earthy backpack on his back.
However, Luo Shaoze was only thinking about how to eat the fish at this time, and he didn't think it was a big deal at all. He happily carried the fish back.
"If anyone asks, just say I brought these fish here."
Luo Shaoze said this when they were almost at the doorstep. Li Miaomiao nodded and became even more satisfied with Luo Shaoze. He was indeed Pei Guoan's trustworthy right-hand man and he was very thoughtful in considering things.
When she got to the kitchen, Li Miaomiao put the fish in the big water tank at the back of the yard.
"I was wondering why you put a few large vats here. So this is how you use them. It's really convenient."
Li Miaomiao did not explain that all her actions were in preparation for the drought that would come soon.
Most people may not have noticed anything different this year, but some experienced farmers have already started to grumble that there seems to be a lot of rain at the beginning of spring this year, and the weather is very strange, which is different from previous years.
Li Miaomiao also knew that after the continuous heavy rain, which almost caused a flood, the rain would become less and less in the following weather. Later, the water in the river would gradually decrease until it dried up. In the end, drinking water became a problem, not to mention the farmers in the fields.
"Yeah, I think so too. When I have some free time, I'll catch a few tanks of fish and can them together."
Li Miaomiao didn't say what so many canned fish were for, but Luo Shaoze knew it very well. This man had reunited with Pei Guoan in the black market and was very brave.
"That's fine, but you still have to be careful. You'd better discuss it with Pei Guoan. You are husband and wife, and men should use it when they need to."
Luo Shaoze decided to go back and remind Pei Guoan, but thinking that if Li Miaomiao really made such a big fuss, Pei Guoan would not be unaware of it, he gave up.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning on selling it secretly. I have a ready-made way here. It would be a shame if I didn't make some money. Besides, I need Pei Guoan to help me order glass bottles, otherwise I can't do it."
That was Luo Shaoze. Li Miaomiao knew that he was a fraud, so he said all this. It was also an excuse for her to stock up on canned fish, so it wouldn't be surprising if she took it out when the time came.
There are also various other foods, and Li Miaomiao plans to cook some of them. Otherwise, when a real drought occurs, when everyone has nothing to eat, there will be a fragrance wafting from her house, which will bring disaster.
But the quality of life still needs to be guaranteed. Li Miaomiao doesn't plan to live on bread with her family, so she has to make preparations.
Luo Shaoze felt relieved after hearing what Li Miaomiao said. It didn't matter that Li Miaomiao was brave. With Pei Guoan watching over her, nothing would happen. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos. Although Li Miaomiao was quite capable, he had never seen those dark and dirty thoughts. If he didn't get cheated by others, he wouldn't be able to get a free meal.
Pei Guoan didn't expect that when he came back from buying vegetables, there were so many fish at home. He looked at Luo Shaoze and thought that Luo Shaoze had brought them. After knowing the whole story, he looked at Li Miaomiao deeply and then withdrew his gaze.
