Chapter 256 Fishing
The third prince now really agrees with Zheng Sisi's point of view. The wild vegetables she dug in the mountains in the past have added a lot of delicious food to people's tables, and these ingredients are everywhere in the mountains.
There are also several plants discovered today, all of which have different miraculous effects and can improve people's lives. The third prince had to admire Zheng Sisi's erudition and versatility.
If Zheng Sisi knew that the Third Prince said that she was knowledgeable and talented, she would definitely look up and laugh three times: "Hahaha! This girl has spent 30 years studying and accumulating experience in life. It has nothing to do with being knowledgeable and talented. In modern times, there are many people who study for a master's degree or a doctorate. That's what true knowledge is."
After Lily came back with a few wooden sticks that had been sharpened at one end, they came to the pond. The water was really clear. Zheng Sisi jumped onto a big rock and poked the stick into the water. The stick soaked the water to a depth of more than two feet. This was the shallowest place.
Zheng Sisi stood still and looked around. The Third Prince and his men also found their positions. Zheng Sisi took the steamed bread crumbs in her handkerchief, grabbed a handful and threw them into the water in front.
Several people held wooden forks in their hands and stared at the water surface carefully. A minute passed, and the water was still the same as before. Except for some white steamed bread crumbs floating on the surface, no fish swam over.
Several people waited patiently. Two minutes passed and it was still the same. Rose said, "County Lady, what should we do if the fish don't come?"
Zheng Sisi had no choice but to say, "Maybe we didn't throw enough away. Why don't we go dig some earthworms?"
As she spoke, she scattered another handful of steamed bread crumbs, this time a little farther away, probably into the deep water area.
After a while, Lily said, "Is it possible that this fish doesn't eat steamed buns?"
The third prince said, "Don't talk, there are fish coming."
Several people kept silent and stared carefully at the water below the steamed bread crumbs. After a dozen breaths, they saw a few fish swimming leisurely towards the steamed bread crumbs.
"It's getting closer, it's getting closer, eat it!" Zheng Sisi shouted in her heart. If you don't want to eat, do you want me to get out the fishing rod? It's very risky with so many people.
These fish were quite cautious. They didn't rush to eat the steamed bread crumbs when they swam to them. They circled around them twice and only opened their mouths to swallow a piece when they found there was no danger. After one fish ate it, the other fish followed suit.
The people were relieved when they saw this, proving that the steamed buns were still useful. The fish followed the steamed bun crumbs to the shallow water, and it looked quite big.
Several people held wooden pitchforks in their hands, quietly waiting for the fish to swim to where the pitchforks could reach.
"Closer, closer, closer, right now."
The Third Prince and Rose Lily raised their forks and when they raised them again, each of them had a fish on the fork in their hands. Only Zheng Sisi's fork was empty, and because she used too much force, her body tilted several times and she almost fell into the water.
Zheng Sisi said bitterly: "These fish are bullying people. They look down on me. I want to catch a few more. Humph!"
After saying that, she grabbed another handful of steamed bread crumbs and threw them into the water. Then she waited quietly.
Lily said, "County Lady, there was such a big noise just now, and there was also a smell of blood, the fish will definitely not come back."
Zheng Sisi said, "Don't worry, fish only have a seven-second memory. They only remember to eat and not to be beaten. Hurry up and throw the fish over there, or you won't have time to catch them when they come back later."
After hearing what she said, several people quickly threw the fish onto the grass and continued to prepare to spear the fish.
Just as Zheng Sisi said, after a while, a group of fish swam over again. The few people were very excited, but they suppressed their excitement and waited quietly.
"Hahaha, God helps those who work hard. I finally caught one. I'll let you bully me, but I'll eat you later." Zheng Sisi held up the wooden fork in her hand, with a fish on it. The fish was still struggling, its tail swinging back and forth.
Zheng Sisi was so happy that she ended up in sorrow. She was too proud and didn't notice that she was standing on a stone. In her joy, she stepped back to the edge of the stone and missed a step.
"Ah! Ah!"
