Dr. Lin, you hurt me.

Chapter 74: When the water is too clear, there will be no fish

Lin Feng picked a few oranges from an orange tree on the roadside and gave one to everyone. Xiaobao's oranges just fit into her small basket.

"Happy!" You can tell that Xiaobao is really happy.

Lin Feng peeled an orange and gave half to Zhang Yan and Xiao Bao each.

The four of them were walking along the village road while eating oranges. For a moment, Zhang Yan felt like they were really out for an autumn outing.

"Lin Feng, there is an osmanthus tree in the yard, why do we have to walk so far to pick osmanthus flowers?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

The further he walked, the stronger the scent of osmanthus became. After walking a short distance, Zhang Yan saw the source of the fragrance.

This is not an osmanthus tree, but a forest of osmanthus trees. Thousands of osmanthus trees are neatly arranged, with osmanthus flowers hanging all over the branches, and you can't see the end at a glance.

"Let's go to the middle of the woods and pick the osmanthus flowers there. The osmanthus flowers there are fresher." Lin Feng asked everyone to walk to the middle.

"I can't believe Aunt Qinfen is a landlord. How many trees does that require?" Zhang Yan sighed, saying that today's farmers are quite wealthy, which broke his stereotype.

"These are saplings planted by other people in the village, not from Aunt Qinfen's house." Lin Feng broke off two very small branches and gave one to Zhang Yan and Xiaobao respectively.

"You call this a sapling?" Zhang Yan looked at the osmanthus tree "seedling" in front of him that was two people tall. Shouldn't a sapling be thin and small?

"Yes, they grow bigger as time goes by. As soon as the weather gets colder, we measure their sizes and sell them. They are all roadside greening tree seedlings."

Lin Feng handed Xiao Bao to Su Boding to look after, "You take care of the two of them, I'm going to pick osmanthus flowers."

"Is this really okay? Picking osmanthus flowers from someone else's house." Zhang Yan was a little afraid that they would be caught and asked for compensation, which would be very embarrassing.

Lin Feng wondered what Zhang Yan was worried about. Turns out it was just this. He was really worrying about nothing.

"There are so many trees, even if everyone in the village came to pick osmanthus flowers, they still couldn't pick them all. Besides, they don't make money by selling osmanthus flowers. I greeted them before I came out, don't be afraid, I'm not stealing."

"When did you say that? Why didn't I see it?" Zhang Yan had been staying with Lin Feng since he got up, and he didn't see him say hello to anyone. Could he be lying to him?

"Just when you weren't looking."

Zhang Yan heard this answer, which was the same as no answer, and threw the orange peel at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was not annoyed. He stood under the tree picking osmanthus flowers. At this time, the advantages of being tall became apparent.

When others still needed chairs and ladders, Lin Feng could reach them by standing under the tree.

Zhang Yan looked around and found that the colors of the osmanthus flowers were different.

"Why is the color of my osmanthus different from yours?

"There are many varieties of osmanthus, including golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, four-season osmanthus, and bay laurel... The bay laurel tree is the one that Wu Gang cut down.

Today we are going to make osmanthus cake, and it will look better if we use golden osmanthus. "

At this time, Su Boding, who had been wandering, came back to life, "Doctor Lin, I heard the sound of water."

"Well, there is a stream over there. You can go and take a look." Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"Are there any fish?" Subodin heard that wild fish are much tastier than farmed fish.

“No fish.”

"How could that be? What a pity."

“When the water is too clear, there are no fish.”

Pfft! Zhang Yan couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "You have no education at all. You have a bachelor's and master's degree from a 985 university, but you don't understand this."

"I thought it was just a metaphor. I haven't seen the creek."

Where did they recruit this special assistant? I will ask the HR department next time I meet them.

The HR department said I don't take the blame for this, this person was interviewed by you personally, Mr. Zhang Yan. You were quite satisfied with him at that time, saying that you liked his straightforward work style.

Why do you feel that it's not working?

Unconvinced, Subodin followed the sound of water to the stream. The sound of water was gurgling, and the water was still flowing fast, probably because it had rained a while ago.

The water was very clear and you could see the shapes of the rocks at the bottom of the stream at a glance, but there was not a single fish.

Zhang Yan saw that Su Boding had returned to a dull mood and turned on his venomous tongue, "Did you see it? Are there any fish?"

"No." There are no fish, not even crayfish.

"No!" Xiaobao repeated it again.

"This stream flows fast, and fish generally don't stay there. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Even if there are fish fry, they would have been eaten by birds long ago."

Lin Feng knew that Subodh was not without common sense, but he had lost his soul and his brain was on strike.

Soon Lin Feng picked a basket of osmanthus flowers, and everyone walked back slowly.

When she was almost at the door of her home, Xiaobao saw her grandmother waiting for her at the door. She immediately broke free from Subodin's hand and rushed towards her grandmother.

The speed of this 100-meter sprint is nothing like the little treasure who just didn't want to walk and wanted to be held.

As soon as she got home, she kept showing off the osmanthus flowers on her head and the small oranges in her basket.

Aunt Qinfen reached out and took off the flower on her hair. "Oh, our Xiaobao is so pretty, like a fairy. Oh, our Xiaobao is so amazing, she can even bring back an orange by herself."

Lin Feng handed the basket full of osmanthus flowers to Aunt Qinfen. Aunt Qinfen was dumbfounded. This was not picking osmanthus flowers, this was plucking them.

"Xiaofeng, Haibao will scold you for doing this...don't pull out the saplings to death."

"I know it well."

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao is here." Xiaobao raised his little hand high.

Lin Feng held his forehead, thinking, how could this be deafening?

"It's Haibao... not Xiaobao..." When Xiaobao heard that this was not someone calling him, he angrily took his orange and went to watch cartoons.

"Xiao Feng, you don't need so many osmanthus flowers to make osmanthus cake." It's really a waste of money.

"Aunt, just use it. You can dry the rest and make it into sachets."

"Okay, I just need a big bowl." Aunt Qinfen grabbed a handful of osmanthus flowers, rinsed them under water, and then let them dry for a while before making pastries.

Raymond Lam took a fine sieve and spread the osmanthus flowers on it to dry. The dried flowers can be used as sachets.

Aunt Qinfen moved quickly while everyone was still lying in Ge You's pose. "It's time for dinner!" Aunt Qinfen washed and dried the osmanthus flowers, then called everyone to eat.

"I'm going to get fat..." Zhang Yan thought that he had just finished breakfast and it was time for lunch again, so he didn't want to miss any meal.

Aunt Qinfen opened the casserole and the soup was still steaming.

"Come! Let's have fish head tofu soup today!"

"Don't just stand there, eat quickly. I grabbed these fish heads and tofu early in the morning. The stall owner only supplies them in limited quantities."

Lin Feng was very hospitable and scooped a big bowl of food for Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan felt that Lin Feng was not taking care of him, but was trying to harm him. He would really get fat if he fed him this way.

Su Boding watched from the side and felt that he was finally relieved. Finally, someone could let Mr. Zhang have a good meal.

Now I can report to Aunt Liu.
