The malty aroma of beer blends perfectly with the rich, fatty flavor of duck meat. The dark red duck meat is glossy and oily, coated in a thick broth, and has an amber-like sheen. Ye Cheng couldn't resist taking a bite right away.
I picked up a piece of chicken wing. Duck meat is actually quite dry in many parts, but chicken wing is always a reliable choice.
In particular, Jiang Yunxiang cut the duck wings open, which made them even more flavorful. The slight aroma of wine, combined with the spicy fragrance of ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices, along with the spiciness of chili peppers, made Ye Cheng rave about it.
Ye Guowei shook his head, looking at his younger brother, who was eight years younger than him, with a hint of indulgence.
“If you’re alone and don’t want to cook, just come over for a meal. Your sister-in-law has nothing to do at home anyway.” Ye Guowei said as he poured Ye Cheng a glass of wine. They were both drinkers, so there was no need for formalities.
"Hmm, I'll come over next time I'm lazy." Ye Cheng took a small sip of baijiu, which was stimulating and made his throat feel hot.
In fact, Ye Cheng quite enjoyed having an older brother and sister-in-law, except that his older brother was a bit long-winded.
Outside, a light rain was falling, while inside, a family of four sat together drinking and eating, radiating happiness.
Ye Cheng teased his little nephew from time to time, "Dou Dou, it's raining outside. Have you ever learned any poems about rain? Come and recite one for your second uncle."
DouDou tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally managing to utter a few lines: "Good rain knows its season, and falls when spring arrives."
The way a child recites ancient poems is truly remarkable. Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly as he listened, but after reciting just two lines, the child got stuck and couldn't finish.
Jiang Yunxiang rolled her eyes again.
Ye Cheng quickly picked up a slice of cured meat for Dou Dou. Jiang Yunxiang had steamed and sliced it earlier to go with the drinks.
"Come on, it's not bad if you can recite two lines. Here's a piece of cured meat as a reward."
"Thank you, Uncle." Children are always especially happy when they are praised, especially when they receive cured meat as a reward.
Looking at the children of today, and then looking at the children of future generations who have to attend extra classes every day, sometimes it's better to remember the simpler times.
Ye Guowei looked at the sky outside, which was beginning to brighten. "Acheng, with this weather today, once the rain stops, a lot of people will definitely go beachcombing. Be careful then."
Ye Cheng nodded. High tides usually bring a good catch. As Brother Qiang said, "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."
The higher the tide, the richer the harvest from beachcombing.
Luckily, I was wise enough to put the trap in last night.
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng suddenly slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "Holy crap!"
This sudden action startled Dou Dou so much that she dropped her cured meat. The three of them looked at Ye Cheng, completely bewildered.
"What's wrong, Cheng?"
"Did you forget to bring in the laundry?"
Ye Cheng shook his head. Forgetting to collect the clothes was no big deal; he was thinking about the fish trap.
I forgot about it after it was played last night.
He only just realized that with this wind and waves, it was hard to say whether the fish trap was still there.
"No, Xiaohu and I set a fish trap last night. With such a high tide, we don't know if it will be washed into the sea," Ye Cheng explained.
Upon hearing that the traps had been set, Ye Guowei frowned and said, "Then wait until later, when the wind and rain have subsided, I'll go with you to collect them. There are too few of you two; if something happens, there'll be no one to help you."
"Yes, let your brother go with you. He's strong and can help."
"Okay, there's still hope."
After finishing his meal, Ye Cheng went to the beach with an umbrella. The wind and rain had subsided a bit, but the waves were still quite large.
Moreover, the tide had risen significantly, and the places they had stepped on were now completely submerged.
As for the spot where I placed the fish trap, it's completely invisible; judging by the water level, it's a vast expanse of water.
Forget it, let's wait until the wind and rain subside a bit before talking about it.
After returning home, Xiao Hu called and, upon learning that Ye Cheng had returned, rushed over despite the heavy rain.
The internet-addicted teenager didn't sleep well all night, thinking about how to practice his bald man's jumping slash.
As soon as he arrived, Xiao Hu snatched Ye Cheng's computer and started leveling up and fighting monsters. Ye Cheng was happy to watch him lie on the floor every few minutes.
The two played games for an entire afternoon, thinking the storm would pass quickly.
Unexpectedly, it didn't get any smaller until after 6 pm. You could still go beachcombing at that time, but it would still be a bit dangerous.
Moreover, it had gotten dark outside, making it even more dangerous to not be able to see the situation in the sea.
"Brother, why don't we go tomorrow during the day? There's no rush."
This guy just got a legendary item and is having a blast playing it, wishing he could keep playing all day without stopping.
Ye Cheng didn't really care; he didn't want to take any risks. "Okay, let's go tomorrow. You can go back for dinner now; your mom will be calling you soon."
"Okay, I'll be right away, right away."
While waiting for Xiaohu to return to the city, Ye Cheng casually opened his system, realizing he had forgotten to check it all day.
Luck value: 80+20
Points: 122
Deposits: 5000
Seeing the dazzlingly bright luck value on the screen, Ye Cheng jumped up, his eyes widening, and shouted excitedly, "Little Tiger, hurry back to eat, and after we eat we'll go collect the traps."
"Huh? You're really going?" Xiao Hu turned to look at Ye Cheng, and seeing his eyes as bright as Superman's, he immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.
This indicates that the product is in stock.
Xiao Hu immediately used a return scroll, then saved the game and exited. "Brother, I'm going to eat now, I'll find you later."
Ye Cheng checked the time, cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles and ate a little, then called Ye Guowei.
"Brother, have you eaten yet?"
"You've already eaten. If you haven't cooked, just come over and have something to eat."
"No, I've already eaten. I'm planning to collect the traps later. Why don't you come with us?"
"Oh, you're going again today?" Ye Guowei was a little surprised.
"Yes, I have to go today."
With such good luck, not going would be a complete waste.
"Alright, I'll get ready. See you at the village entrance then."
Having made arrangements with Ye Guowei, Ye Cheng immediately packed his things and set off. With his luck level at 100, he knew he had to bring plenty of things.
A light drizzle was still falling from the sky, but it didn't bother us anymore, and the wind gradually stopped.
Walking along the village road, Ye Cheng found that many people had come out together, including Duan Chunsheng and his group.
"Uncle, Aunt, where are you going?" Ye Cheng greeted them.
Upon seeing that it was Ye Cheng, Duan Chunsheng deliberately slowed down his pace and said as he approached, "Going to the beach? With such big waves today, there must be some cargo. Are you going to the beach too?"
"Hmm, I set off a few traps yesterday, I'll go and check them out."
"The sea level is still very high, you have to be careful. If it's too dangerous, wait a while before you can collect it."
As they chatted, they soon reached the village entrance. Many people had already gathered on the beach, carrying various tools and searching for something.
