The casual life of the flat space

"Well, this matter won't have an immediate result. What you should think about now is how to eat fish tonight. Let's go to Tatoudianzi to catch fish!" Bai Tieying knew that Mu Qingqiu's body had not recovered yet, and was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he came up with a "delaying tactic". When Mu Qingqiu heard about eating fish, he really became a foodie and put down his heavy heart.

The two returned to Xianhe Village, told Uncle that they were going to the space to eat fish tonight, and then went to Tatoudianzi. Because many villagers from Sanxin were cutting grass in Tatoudianzi, Bai Tieying led Mu Qingqiu around for a long time before finding a deserted place to release the pine boat.

The two of them "revisited the old place" and were familiar with the business. It didn't take long for them to collect a lot of fish, shrimp, clams and snails into the space. However, time was limited, so they couldn't row as far as last time, so naturally they didn't encounter any big fish.

In order to improve the food for the villagers of Sanxin, Bai Tieying lied that Mu Qingqiu had the ability to fish, and brought five fish weighing more than 20 kilograms to give to them. The villagers of Sanxin were naturally excited. These old fish were enough for everyone to share a piece. If they were stewed into soup, they could eat two or three meals! So everyone praised Mu Qingqiu, and Bai Tieying, the host, also benefited from it.

After Jing Li came over and told Bai Tieying about the various matters for the day, she took the children to watch the killing of fish and the making of soup. Bai Tieying could hear bursts of laughter from the cellar clearly in the courtyard.

"Grandpa Yang, I'll leave the matter of killing the fish to you. I'll prepare the other things first."

"Okay, we'll listen to you, but can I watch you cook the fish? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but I'm just pissed that they keep saying it tastes like pig food."

"That's fine. How about this? You can arrange for all the fish to be caught first. I'll trouble you to help me today. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

It is definitely not easy to cook for 300 people, especially without the complete seasonings and easy-to-control heat like in the original world. But fortunately, everyone's appetite was not increased, and there was well water to enhance the flavor, so Bai Tieying's meal was not as elaborate as the day Chunweizhai opened, so it was not so tiring.

"Oh, Brother Bai! You are so lucky! You can find your relatives who you haven't contacted for decades at the city gate. Let me tell you, this is what good deeds will bring good rewards, you know?" Grandpa Zhong grabbed two bowls of strong liquor, and at this moment he talked loudly, put his arm around his uncle's shoulder and "spoke his heart out."

"Haha, who says it's not true! I, Bai Yinzhu, may not be good at other things, but when it comes to medical ethics and medical skills, I absolutely cannot deny it!" The uncle was also drunk. He wanted to "have a drink", but there were so many people. One said "thank you", another said "it's fate", and after one sip after another, he drank too much.

There were more than 300 people, but only five "kids" - including Mu Qingqiu. Of course, it could also be because there wasn't enough wine to go around - they just ate the dishes and drank the soup, and finished it in a short while.

So the one who was drunk was asked to sing a song, and the one who didn't have enough wine was asked to get some more... They all forgot about Bai Tiexiong's desire to become their apprentice. So Bai Tieying deeply suspected that they were just taking the opportunity to cheat him out of wine, and he was so angry that he wanted to go on strike.

Fortunately, Uncle Qiu still remembered it, and Liu Yashi's words were also effective. When everyone was drunk and excited, no one knew who started the conversation, but they all started to worship him as their master.

However, this apprenticeship seemed a bit of a joke. Someone was jealous of Uncle Qiu, so he said that his sword had been passed down for nine generations, and he insisted that Bai Tiexiong also become his apprentice to make it perfect.

If Uncle hadn't slammed the table, Bai Tieying would have wanted to do it himself. The Bai family really couldn't afford to joke about it. But this guy didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to express his desire to teach, and everyone persuaded him to "drink too much" and it was over.

After another round of hustle and bustle, Bai Tiexiong now had seven masters, namely, archery, spear, cavalry, sword, rebuke, frog, and weapon. His main skill was to be able to attack from both long and short range and be amphibious.

Master Xuan, who wanted to be "perfect", got what he wanted and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Before Bai Tiexiong finished knocking his head, he was picked up and searched. Mu Qingqiu quickly explained to Bai Tieying that he was feeling the bones, so Bai Tieying didn't step forward to rescue his brother from his stone-like left hand.

The master behind him asked Bai Tiexiong to continue kowtow, but Master Xuan glared at him and said it was up to him to teach or not. He did not have enough time to teach him swordsmanship, so if he was not convinced, he could try the broadsword that had been passed down in his family for nine generations.

The military said that a person with a big fist, a big courage, and a big head, how could those people be willing to listen to Master Liao's words? It was only when Liu Yasi came forward that the apprenticeship ceremony was successfully completed.

After everyone had a good time and had enough food and drink, they went back to rest. Mu Qingqiu, Bai Wanli and his sister, along with some soldiers, cleaned up the dishes, while Bai Tieying took his brother's hand and went for a walk in the distance.

"Sister, why are those people vying to be my master? I just want to learn archery!" Bai Tiexiong, who originally wanted to learn it as a hobby, was suddenly stuffed with seven compulsory subjects and felt a little overwhelmed.

"Haha, you're lucky!" Bai Tieying made a joke first, but the purpose of taking her brother for a walk was to comfort him, so she continued:

"Of course, they may be attracted by your physique that has been improved by the well water, but it is more likely that they want to repay us. You don't need to know too much about the adult world, as long as you know that more skills are better than less.

But I think no matter what you like, you still have to read books. Because reading can also help you better understand the knowledge taught by the masters, so that people like Master Xuan will not have to worry about their knife skills being lost in the future.

Also, you have to treat these seven masters equally. After all, they really want to teach you their skills. Even Brother Mu doesn't have this opportunity! But people's time is limited, so you need to arrange it yourself."

"Sister, this opportunity is given to you, do you want it? Grandpa Wu has given us a lot of homework, and I have to squeeze out time to learn archery." Bai Tiexiong was not comforted, and still had a sad face.

"Haha, I want to learn too. Don't I just look down on a skinny guy like me? Besides, look at that kid Bai Wanli. He's so greedy, and he works with Sanbai every day! Don't be so ungrateful!"

"Sister, I just want to make money and build you a big house. Why do I suddenly have to learn so many things? I feel... something is different from before."

"Little fool, it's different now! In the past, all we thought about every day was how to fill our stomachs, but now we have no worries about food and clothing, and we have moved up a level! This is what they call 'When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace'.

People always have new goals and new pursuits. Isn't that why we stand out from the crowd? Even if it means lying flat, as long as we can lie there with peace of mind, that is also a pursuit. "
