Fairy takeaway

Chapter 11 Gifts

He Nuo was not caught by the fish—it was natural—on the contrary, he dived around the bottom of the water and accidentally caught two small fish when he emerged from the water.It's a pity that these two small fish are really too small, only about two fingers wide, I don't know if they were stunned by the rain, they were floating on the water surface, turning their stomachs, and they were picked up by Tanuo.Because the fish was too small, when he Nuo went ashore, he accidentally let a small fish slip out from between the claws.

Hi it's a pity.

He stared helplessly at the remaining small fish in his claws, lost in thought.No wonder mother otter always said that dreaming is one thing and waking up is another.Luckily the little fish was still bubbling in frustration and looked fresh.He Nuo carefully placed the small fish on the shore, forming a strong contrast with the two giant fish he was walking with.

No matter how you say it, you can't go a thousand miles without taking a few steps.A fish is still a fish, no matter how small the fish is, it is still meat.He Nuo rubbed his face, regained his confidence, and planned to pursue the victory and make persistent efforts.

He walked along and climbed ashore, and stood behind Ta Nuo, with a look of hesitation on his face.It seemed that he was unwilling to dampen his brother's rare fighting spirit.

The whole morning is spent between snorkeling and fishing.At noon, the rain gradually subsided, and Dayue Lake began to become clearer.He Nuo sprinkled sea salt on his body, and carefully rubbed the fur all over his body.After tidying himself up, he began to count today's trophies: five small fishes one or two fingers wide, all of which were unknown and miscellaneous.

He Nuo went back to the house and carried a small bamboo basket, and neatly stacked the small fish he caught in the bamboo basket—well, it looked pretty good, at least the bottom of the bamboo basket was full.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him the biggest crucian carp he caught.It is the season when crucian carp is plump. When one crucian carp goes down, the whole basket is full.The fish's tail couldn't be stuffed in, so it could only be placed outside the bamboo basket, dripping water continuously, fluttering and twitching from time to time.

Satisfied, he carried a basket full of fish, put on a straw hat and cloak to protect him from the rain, filled a homemade canoe, and swayed in the breeze, from upstream to downstream, all the way to Liujia Village.He got off the boat, carefully hid the canoe with hay, and then went to the Daluo grocery store with ease.

Daluo's grocery store is connected to the little boss's residence. The sunny side near the road is the shop, and the backyard is a tiled house and a small courtyard.He Nuo stood in front of the grocery store and watched for a while, but there was no one in the store.The grocery store is not very big. At the door, there is a green front on a bamboo pole, with the words "Daluo Grocery Store" written on it with a brush, and there is also a puppet in the image of a small raccoon cat, with a thin tail on it. Water dripped quietly from the rain curtain.

There is a wooden counter at the main entrance. On the counter is a white book, a white porcelain bowl, and a glass jar filled with low-quality chocolate candies. Both sides are filled with various drinks and mineral water.Inside the glass cabinet under the counter are hard and soft cigarettes of different prices and chewing gum with an unknown expiration date.

Going further in, the light dimmed, and several high shelves could be vaguely seen, reaching to the ceiling.The gap between the shelves is so small that there is only room for a climbing ladder.The goods are displayed very strangely, and they are divided into grids of different sizes by wooden boards. It is not so much a grocery store as it is closer to a Chinese medicine store that catches herbs.

He Nuo once visited the grocery store at the invitation of Mr. Luo.Each shelf may seem messy, but it actually has strict naming and placement rules.In the conspicuous places are all human supplies, while in the hidden places, strange items that goblins like are placed in different categories according to their functions.

Except for fast-selling cigarettes and drinks, the human business in the grocery store is actually not good.Grocery stores are not like ordinary small supermarkets, allowing humans to come in and out and choose products by themselves.Grocery stores use an ordering method. Simply put, you just tell the boss what you want, and what the boss brings out is what you want, and you don’t have to choose.In the past when material was scarce, such grocery stores were still able to meet the daily needs of human beings; however, with the improvement of human living standards, the requirements for daily necessities have also increased rapidly.The outdated and old Daluo grocery store has long been abandoned by nearby residents.

Of course, from the boss's attitude of herding sheep, we can see that he doesn't care about the poor operation of the store.He Nuo walked in only to find that the price of various beverages was written in the book on the counter, and the handwriting was flamboyant and flamboyant. "The boss has something to do, pay and pick it up yourself" The eight big characters are bolded, which is very eye-catching.A few coins were scattered in the white porcelain bowl next to it.

He Nuoxin said, the folk customs here are quite simple.

There was no one in the store, so he had no choice but to walk around to the back of the yard.There was a huge pear tree planted in the yard, and a crisp and tender sprout crawled out from the fence at some point, with a pink and white flower bone on its head.He Nuo stood on tiptoe and sniffed lightly.In April, there will be pear blossoms all over the yard.In autumn, there are sweet and juicy fruits to eat.

He Nuo reached out and took off the straw hat on his head, shook the water drops, put it under the eaves, and then lightly buckled the iron door knocker.

tuk tuk-

There was a dull knocking sound on the thick wooden door panels.Not long after, there was a rustling sound from inside, and the door creaked open.

It is a white umbrella.

The white umbrella tilted its handle and looked at him quietly.

He Nuo bowed slightly, said hello politely, and said, "Hello, is Boss Xiao Luo at home? I'm here to talk..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was slammed shut.He Nuo blinked, touched his nose, and continued to knock on the door.After a while, the door opened again.

This time, it was the good-looking little boss who appeared.

Luo Xiang didn't seem to be resting well, there were obvious dark circles under her eyelids, and her thick, fluffy hair looked messy.Even in the chilly spring season, he still only wears short sleeves and single pants. If you get a little closer, you can feel the amazing heat emanating from his body.

He Nuo was caught off guard when he saw someone, he was taken aback for a moment, and stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth. "You, hello, I, I want to talk to you about cooperation..."

boom--

The door was slammed again.

Thano's head drooped.After thinking for a moment, he bent down and took out all the fish from the bamboo basket. Following the example of the second otter brother, he arranged the fish in order by size under the door, and the arrangement couldn't be more beautiful and grand.Then he got up and knocked patiently on the door again.

This time, after a while, Luo Xiang came to answer the door.Still the same indifferent and impatient look.Before he could utter the words of refusal, he Nuo preemptively said loudly, "I'm here to give you fish!"

His cheeks flushed as he spoke.In this situation, giving gifts is almost equivalent to bribery, and it seems not very good to do so in broad daylight.

Luo Xiang lowered his head, stared at the big crucian carp for a long time, raised his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Go into the kitchen and enter the second room on the right." After finishing speaking, he turned sideways to give way.

Tano was at a loss.Is this for me to send fish into the kitchen?Although a little strange, the little boss agreed to accept the fish, which was the starting point of their friendly relationship.He Nuo hurriedly put away the fish, and trotted into the kitchen with a small bamboo basket.

The Luo family's kitchen looked tidy but not very clean. It was dusty everywhere, and it looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.There is an old-fashioned stove next to the door. The stove is cold and there is no ash in the stove eye, so it should have been abandoned.There is not a drop of water in the huge ceramic water tank.Next to the water tank stands a new gas stove with all the pots and pans on it.

He Nuo stood at a loss in the huge kitchen, gestured to the little boss with his eyes, and silently asked where he should put the fish.

Luo Xiang yawned, looking uninspired.He pointed to the old stove with his chin, and said, "Dinner at five o'clock."

After saying this sentence of unclear meaning, Luo Xiang turned around and left the kitchen, leaving behind a bewildered Ta Nuo and an umbrella intended to oversee the work.

Um?What's the meaning?

He Nuo squatted on the ground and rubbed his face for a while, finally comprehending the deep meaning of the little boss: He asked me to cook him dinner!

He Nuo turned around nervously.There is nothing here, the gas tank is empty, the water tank is empty, and the seasoning jar is empty.What do I cook with?He paced up and down the kitchen with a curious umbrella floating behind him.In the end, he promised that there was nothing he could do, and decided to disregard Sanqi 21 and deal with the fish first, at least there were still knives in the kitchen.

He Nuo loaded the big crucian carp with a stainless steel basin, and came to the eaves with a kitchen knife, a chopping board and a small stool.He simply washed the crucian carp's body with the rainwater leaking from the eaves, and then made several gestures with the knife, but he couldn't find a breakthrough.

As he said, he Nuo doesn't like fish. Although he has watched mother otter cook fish, he has never tried it himself.

He Nuo held up the kitchen knife, frowning in worry.The white umbrella floated aside, turning his body from time to time to shake off the raindrops that fell on the umbrella, but he gave him a slap in the face.Being poured on his face by the cold rain, he Nuo suddenly calmed down.Yes, if I can't, I should be able to ask for foreign aid.He got up quickly, picked up the crucian carp, and planned to smuggle the fish home, and asked his mother to help him make a braised fish.

He Nuo nodded to the white umbrella and said, "Tell the little boss, I'll be leaving first." After finishing speaking, he raised his legs and was about to walk towards the door.

Bai Shan mistakenly thought that Nuo was going to sneak away, so he hurriedly turned around and rushed into the back room quickly.Not long after, Luo Xian's figure reappeared, blocking Ta Nuo who was trying to invite foreign aid to cheat.

"It's the first time I've heard that gifts given to others can be taken back." Luo Xian's voice was not loud, but it was so heavy that he couldn't lift his head when he heard it.

He Nuo was short of breath, lowered his head, hugged the crucian carp even tighter, and argued in a low voice, "But there's nothing in the kitchen..."

Luo Xiang sneered, but said nothing.

He Nuo almost lost his footing.

In the end, Luo Xiang moved first. "Come with me," he said, turning and walking towards the kitchen.He Nuo quickly followed with the fish in his arms.

I saw Luo Xiang stepping in without haste, drawing the universe with his right hand, making the three mountain formula with his left, and breathing out the breath of heaven and earth.In an instant, a raging flame was ignited in the stove, and the stove took on a new look.The roar of the dragon came suddenly, and a silver dragon entered through the window, circled and fell, and flew into the water tank, turning into a chill.

Luo Xian glanced at Ta Nuo lightly, signaling that he could do it.

Tano was dumbfounded.

Fire without fuel, water without source!It's a waste of money to use it in cooking, rice, oil, salt, and cooking.

He Nuo hugged the crucian carp tightly, hesitated for a moment, lifted the fish tremblingly, and said, "Why don't you kill the fish by the way?"

……

After a while, Ta Nuo was thrown out of the house by the collar.The first bribery operation failed.

He got up slowly, rubbed his buttocks, and muttered in his heart, he must let his mother teach me how to cook fish when I get home.

Ah, when will the rain stop?

He Nuo raised his face, and the drizzle of the sky drowned him.There is a hint of sweet spring in the air.

There are three waiting times for rain, one waiting for otters to sacrifice fish; two waiting for swan geese to come; ①

Spring has really come.

The author has something to say:

①The otter presents fish, "Xia Xiaozheng", after the otter catches the fish, they arrange and display the fish, like offering sacrifices
