Dinner is vegetable soup.

But it's not much thicker than water. You'd have to use a magnifying glass to find grains of grain.

Li Yuanjing was speechless after taking a sip. This clear soup was too watery to be swallowed...

But I saw that Yuniang next to me was eating deliciously.

Li Yuanjing looked over quickly and was stunned.

I had a big bowl full, but Yu Niang only had half a bowl.

The essential……

There were obviously a lot of vegetable leaves in his bowl, but there was only a little bit of vegetable soup in Yuniang's bowl...

"Yu Niang, I, I don't have much appetite today. Come on, Ge Yun will give you some."

Li Yuanjing suddenly felt the sourness in his eyes. He hurriedly poured half of the vegetable soup in his bowl to Yu Niang, and turned his head so that Yu Niang could not see his face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? But don't you think the slave's food tastes good?"

Yuniang looked at Li Yuanjing with some fear. After all, she was very smart. She soon understood what Li Yuanjing meant and said hurriedly:

"Brother, you don't have to worry. The dry firewood I have picked up these days can be sold for almost 800 coins, which is enough for us to eat and drink."

"and……"

Yu Niang slowly took out the black jade bead from her neck and said firmly:

"Brother, you don't have to worry about the debts. This bead slave has found someone to ask for, and it is worth almost ten taels of silver, which is enough to pay off our debts and taxes."

"..."

Even though Li Yuanjing's heart had already been polished like a rock, it seemed like it was cracking open at this moment.

He, Li Yuanjing, has never been hurt like this in his two lifetimes...

And even if Li Yuanjing doesn't know much about antique jades, he can still tell that the beads of Yuniang are of extremely high quality and are definitely not ordinary!

At this time, I only gave her ten taels, which was simply taking advantage of the situation!

Li Yuanjing wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak. He could only say:

"Yu Niang, you can't sell these beads. Brother will find a way to deal with the money. Come on, brother suddenly has an appetite again. Let's eat half of this soup together."

With that said, Li Yuanjing poured some of the soup in Yu Niang's bowl back to himself. The two of them almost shared it equally, and started drinking it in big gulps.

At this time, this obviously tasteless vegetable soup, when Li Yuanjing drank it, it tasted 10,000 times better than the hundreds of thousands of servings of Longfeng Dabu Tang in later generations.

Yuniang was a little stunned when she saw Li Yuanjing's appearance.

Although she is young, she is by no means stupid. She can naturally feel the change in Li Yuanjing's attitude towards her, which makes Yu Niang feel distressed and surprised at the same time.

Her brother finally seems to no longer hate her...

But she didn't know how to express her gratitude to her brother, so she could only sip the vegetable soup in small sips.

…

The firewood in the stove crackled loudly.

Even if the windows are broken by the evil wind and the air leaks out, there is still some warmth left in the house.

On the earthen bed.

Yu Niang had fallen into a deep sleep after a tiring day, but there was a smile on her face, which seemed to be full of longing for the future.

Li Yuanjing helped Yu Niang tighten the quilt beside her, not feeling sleepy at all.

He has been thinking about how to make money.

You can't let Yu Niang, a fourteen-year-old girl, work so hard that she will die young to support him, Mr. Li, right?

suddenly.

Li Yuanjing's eyes lit up, he got up quickly and carefully, and began to rummage around the house.

soon.

Li Yuanjing whispered excitedly.

He found the pile of canes used for work left by Li Laoshi and his wife.

Then Li Yuanjing knitted carefully beside the earthen stove.

in memory.

There are no villages within a dozen miles downstream of the big spring in Quanzi Village.

Because the terrain in this area is very narrow, like a long and narrow crack split by a knife.

Because of this, there are many natural deep pools in this cracked river. It seems that in the early years, children went to play nearby and accidentally fell in and drowned.

This leads to.

Although the water system in Quanzi Village is considered abundant, no one dares to fish.

Because no one has this skill and courage, it will really kill people.

Although it was snowing outside at this time and the weather had already turned cold, this was probably the first snow of the year and the weather was not completely cold yet.

This means that even if the edges of those deep pools are frozen, the middle area is probably not frozen.

Not long after.

Li Yuanjing made a rattan basket.

It is similar to the shape of a vase from later generations, with a slightly smaller mouth and a larger belly.

Inside the mouth of the rattan basket, dozens of rattans are carefully woven into a cone shape to tighten the inside of the mouth.

so.

When the fish smells the fragrance of the bait and gets into the rattan basket, but cannot get out, the fishing effect will be achieved.

Later generations of masters Pei and De taught in this field.

After checking it carefully, Li Yuanjing felt refreshed and made sure that there was nothing unusual about the rattan basket and that it was even a little perfect.

He also took a bundle of hemp ropes carefully woven by Yu Niang and carefully put them on the rattan basket, leaving thirty or forty meters of hemp ropes.

so.

Even if the cliff over there is deep, it's almost enough.

However, although the work was almost done, when it came time to make the bait, Li Yuanjing was dumbfounded...

There is still more than half a catty in the tank at home, and one catty comes with food. However, there is not a trace of oil at home...

As we all know.

When it comes to fishing bait, food is secondary, and various oils and sesame oils are the most important.

Without the fragrance of oil, it will be difficult for fish to take the bait.

At this time, Li Yuanjing's family could starve the rats to death, even if they used animal offal as bait.

What should we do?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuanjing broke out in sweat, but still couldn't think of a way.

While he was pacing back and forth impatiently, he accidentally kicked the chamber pot in the corner. Li Yuanjing suddenly became clever and clenched his fist excitedly!

He found a way.

soon.

Li Yuanjing took out the garlic mortar he used for cutting garlic at home, grabbed a handful of grain, put it in it, and carefully ground the grain.

immediately.

Li Yuanjing directly took off his belt, carefully sprinkled a bubble of 'golden water' inside, and then carefully prepared the bait as if it were a treasure...

Using urine as a "seasoning" to fish is not only a specialty of later generations of Germans, but is also often used by the older generation in China. The practicality of this method has been proven in many practices.

After packing everything, it was almost dawn, and Yu Niang got up in a daze to cook.

Li Yuanjing called to Yu Niang, saying that he was feeling well and wanted to go out and exercise. Before Yu Niang could react, he took his precious equipment and walked out.

Because it was still early at this point, there was no one on the road all the way to the small cliff, which also saved Li Yuanjing the effort to explain.

After seeing the situation of the small cliff and the pool clearly, Li Yuanjing could not help but pump his fists in excitement!

Just as he expected.

At this time, although there were signs of freezing around the deep pool under the cliff, the middle part of the pool was not frozen. The deep pool water was like a deep mirror, making it unpredictable.

Li Yuanjing took out a few wooden wedges and hammers that he had prepared long ago, and started working beside them.

After fixing the wooden wedges and fixing the safety rope of the fish basket firmly on the three wooden wedges to provide triple insurance, Li Yuanjing carefully added his carefully prepared bait to the fish basket and threw the fish basket into the pond with force. in water.

There was a "clatter, clatter" sound, and Li Yuanjing threw the fish basket into the pond with difficulty.

Li Yuanjing lay directly on the edge of the cliff from exhaustion, swallowing his saliva and carefully observing the movements in the pool.
