Chapter 824 Encountering an Acquaintance at Shichahai

After washing and draining a basket of loquats, I put the fruit pulp into a large clay pot that I had bought earlier, added a certain amount of water, and cooked it over medium heat until the pulp softened. I then mashed the pulp into a paste with a spoon, added rock sugar, and simmered it over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. I continued simmering until it thickened before removing it from the heat.

It's a pity I don't have any fritillaria cirrhosa plants in my space, otherwise I could add some in for even better results.

These days, it's probably not easy to get bulbs to propagate in the space. But I could ask someone to find some Fritillaria cirrhosa seeds. With the space available, I'm not worried about them not germinating. I'll go back to my workplace and see if anyone has connections there and can help me get some seeds.

After doing all that, he boiled a pot of water, took a comfortable bath, and then left the space to rest.

The next morning, she got up very early and went to Shichahai.

When we arrived at our destination, it was just beginning to get light.

She found an ice hole that had been chiseled open the day before, took out her tools and chiseled it open again. After making a fishing rod, she put some water from her spatial pool into the water. Before long, fish started coming over, and she quickly caught a batch.

Then he took the two buckets that were tied to the back of the bicycle and filled them. By then, there were only a few scattered fish left in the hole.

But even her fishing rod, which she used to make a show of fishing, started to move.

Just as she was about to pull the fish up and go home, someone unexpectedly came her way. After seeing the two buckets on the ice, someone exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! Girl, you didn't come here in the middle of the night, did you?"

Chu Xue chuckled softly, "No, but I have been here for a while now."

Then someone said, "You can catch this many fish in such a short time? You must be bragging."

Chu Xue wasn't going to pay any attention to this person. After all, it was already broad daylight, and she had to rush to work after dropping off the Yu family. She didn't have time to chat with them.

To her surprise, the fish that took the bait was a big one. She was momentarily careless and almost got pulled into the water. Luckily, someone noticed something was wrong and pulled her out of the ice hole, which gave her a real fright.

When the fish was pulled ashore with help, everyone exclaimed in surprise: "My goodness, this fish must weigh over twenty pounds! That's amazing!"

Just then, someone recognized Chu Xue, who was bundled up tightly: "Hey, isn't that Chu Xue?"

Several people in the crowd looked at Chu Xue: "Hey, it really is that girl."

Chu Xue hadn't noticed who was gathering around her, but when she heard the voices and looked over, she realized it was someone she knew: "Grandpa Guo, it's been a long time! Why are you out so early?"

When Grandpa Guo saw that she recognized him, he smiled and said, "It really has been a long time. What's this?"

He wondered if something had happened to the girl's family again. After all, when he met her before, it was because her father was hospitalized and needed money. He wondered if something had happened at home that urgently required money, which was why she was fishing in such cold weather.

This is truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

She could have taken fish from the space, but she got interested and knew that Shichahai was frozen over, so she wanted to see how strong she was and how long it would take her to break through the ice.

Since they've asked that, I can't just tell the truth, so I laughed and said, "Well, my family has settled down in the city, and we were thinking of hosting a housewarming party in a few days, but we don't have any meat coupons, so we thought we'd go catch some fish to take back and make it look good."

Who would have thought someone would come so early, and even while we were talking, someone else was coming this way. I've caught so many fish, I'm afraid someone might have ulterior motives if I don't make it sound terrible.
