Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

If you ask someone to seek a marriage partner, they'll ignore you. But if you ask someone to seek wealth, even if it's raining knives outside, they'll see it as a test from heaven.

The tourists who weren't attracted by the marriage tree were drawn by the lucky carp of Lihua Lake.

The number of tourists today was beyond Mu Ning and Zhang Hai's expectations. In just one hour, more than seventy or eighty people entered the village.

The two stood at Grandma Li's door, answering tourists' questions and helping to ship agricultural products with attached express delivery labels. By the time they could finally have a moment to themselves, it was already lunchtime.

The children who were taking classes at the Li family's house skipped and hopped out of the attic. When they saw Mu Ning and Zhang Hai, they mustered up the courage to wave and say hello before leaving.

Mu Ning and Zhang Hai were surprised to be greeted by the village children for the first time. They looked away from the children and at Meng Li, who was walking out of the house with a canvas bag slung over her shoulder. "Teacher Meng?"

While they were busy in the morning, the elderly people in the village had already told them about Teacher Meng, who was staying at the No. 88 guesthouse, and the classes he was giving to the children in the village.

The elderly may be willing but unable to teach the children, but they can see the changes in the children; their personalities have become less timid and more confident.

They also mentioned the help and suggestions given to the village by several long-term guests at B&B No. 88, especially Chen Nianhe and An Jingyu, who have made significant contributions to the village's economic development.

"Just call me Meng Li." Meng Li nodded to the two of them.

Mu Ning exclaimed, "Thank you so much for your help to the villagers."

Meng Li didn't say anything polite like "should or shouldn't," but smiled and said, "The children are very obedient and eager to learn."

Of course, the elderly people in the village seemed to listen to the advice on the surface.

Mu Ning smiled and invited, "Shall we go out for a meal together?"

Meng Li shook her head and refused, "Thank you, but no need. The food is ready, just waiting for us to come back for dinner."

She has absolutely no desire to socialize right now. After lunch, she can take a nap without any worries, which is much more pleasant than interacting with strangers.

Watching Meng Li and An Jingyu walk side by side towards the guesthouse, Mu Ning and Zhang Hai exchanged a glance, then turned and took a shortcut towards the Fresh Food Shop.

Mu Ning: "Knowing yesterday that I would be coming down today, I ordered a roast chicken from Xianxian in advance."

It's a bit pricey, but the owner's cooking skills are absolutely amazing!

Zhang Hai didn't waste any words: "I'll take the money, give me a share."

The two walked along the nearly straight path between the fields, and when they arrived at the entrance of the Fresh Food Shop, the tables in the courtyard were already full of people.

The five people who said they were going fishing in the morning were also there, waving their chopsticks and eating heartily, so much so that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Seeing the braised fish on their table, Zhang Hai said to Mu Ning, "Did they really catch a fish?"

Zhang Hai: "If I could fish, and there were fish, I would take my fishing rod and cast a couple of times during my break."

He felt he was quite skilled at fishing.

Mu Ning glanced at him. "Do men automatically develop a love for fishing as they get older?"

Zhang Hai, who is getting old: "..."

He snorted and walked towards the five men. "You guys had a good haul today."

Two of the four dishes and one soup were made with fish.

The five men were enjoying their meal when they heard Zhang Hai's voice and turned around. They exclaimed "Oh!" and, though their eyes showed reluctance, they still raised their hands to call out, "Brothers, come on, come on, have some with us."

Zhang Hai waved his hand and refused, "No need, no need, I've already ordered the food. I was just curious about what kind of fish you caught today, so I came to ask."

The five people didn't try to persuade them further; the food was limited, and they didn't have enough to eat anyway.

"No fish caught." The five men weren't afraid of losing face and honestly admitted that they hadn't caught anything that morning. "The fish in that lake are so clever. We tried all sorts of baiting spots, but none of our floats moved."

"Hey." Zhang Hai chuckled, then asked, "How much does it cost to fish for a day? I'll try it sometime."

"Four hundred and fifty a day, that's not cheap."

I thought I could at least bring back some small fish, but after sitting here all morning, not even a bitterling or a small fish came up.

"Then we have to go keep watch after we finish eating, otherwise it'll be a waste." Zhang Hai pulled up a stool from the side and sat down at the table. "I haven't gone to the lake yet. Are there any big carp jumping off the bamboo rafts today?"

The five people ate and said, "There shouldn't be any, right? Anyway, we didn't hear any noise."

Tourists sitting at a nearby table overheard their discussion and leaned over to chime in, "Does the sight of a large carp swimming around a bamboo raft count as a successful attempt to make money?"

"How about we buy a lottery ticket later and find out?" a tourist fishing asked curiously. "Are the fish in the lake big?"

"Huge!" The tourist gestured with his hand, then patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "When I first saw it, I thought it was a giant python, it almost scared me to death."

Upon hearing this, the tourists who came to fish immediately sped up their feeding, preparing to continue their battle with the fish in the lake.

About ten minutes later, the five of them wiped their mouths, got up, and left.

Zhang Hai turned his body toward the table and gestured to the waiter to clear it.

There are so many people eating during mealtimes that it's not easy to find a seat.

"I heard from the villagers who rowed the bamboo rafts that the village will be at its most beautiful when the pear blossoms bloom next year."

"They also said that the peach trees on the top of Yinyuan Mountain are blooming very profusely, but they don't bear any peaches."

"Huh? The villagers say that's called Pear Blossom Mountain because it's covered with wild pear trees."

"Oh dear, no wonder couples who go to the mountaintop to have their marriage fortunes told always break up. It seems this mountain is full of 'pears,' and peach blossoms that don't bear fruit can't hold them back at all!!!"

"what??"

"...That makes some sense."

"But I think this peach tree is still somewhat useful. Aren't all those couples who break up problematic? Isn't it a good thing for problematic couples to break up sooner rather than later?"

"That's right. I've also heard that many single people have found their ideal and suitable partners after praying to peach trees."

Mu Ning, munching on a chicken leg, watched as the guests at the next few tables suddenly started arguing about peach blossoms and pear blossoms. She lowered her voice and said to Zhang Hai, "I think Boss Qian has a bit of a perverse sense of humor."

Zhang Hai nodded, "Indeed, the word 'pear' sounds like 'separation,' and yet peach blossoms are planted on the mountaintop..."

It has also been developed into a sacred place for marriage in the eyes of tourists.

Mu Ning looked up at the building of B&B No. 88 and suddenly exclaimed, "I feel like Boss Qian is surrounded by talented people."

Take Xianxian, the owner of Xianxian Food Shop, for example. She came to the village from another place to open a shop because of Boss Qian. Otherwise, with Xianxian's skills, Lihuadian would have been a hit long ago.

There are also Chen Nianhe and others; each of them, gathered here, has brought changes to the village.

The girls, in particular, are constantly influencing the girls in the village with their admirable qualities.
