Realm Overlord

Chapter 11 Rare tenderness (all kinds of requests)

"Oh, there's even fish to eat tonight!"

In the evening, the light was a little dim. Lin Cai was sitting in front of the dining table. When he saw the boiled fish in the big basin on the dining table, he couldn't help but speak happily.

Without hesitation, he picked up a large piece of fish and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Eat less!"

Zhen Jinhua rolled her eyes angrily and reminded in a low voice: "This fish was caught by Daqi quietly in the river after school!"

While he was talking and explaining, he picked up two large pieces of fish meat from the basin and put them into Lin Qi and Lin Fan's bowls.

The two brothers were eating happily and had no time to pay attention to their parents.
It’s so sad to say!
I don’t have enough oil and water stored at home, so I don’t dare to cook dishes like fried fish or braised fish that require a lot of oil and water.

Then you can only boil the fish in water, using the fat of the fish itself to act as oil and water.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of other condiments, and with some fresh vegetables, the boiled fish tastes good, at least it is not bland.

When my mother first saw the three big fish, she was shocked.

The first reaction was not surprise, but a sharp questioning of where the fish came from?
Again, the extent to which government officials and gang members exploit the people at the bottom is no joke.

The rivers are obviously rich in fish and shrimp, but there are not many fish and shrimps available in the market.

Basically, the fishermen eat it themselves, and they don't dare to engage in fair transactions.

Just like Shijie Village in "Water Margin", it is obviously close to the eight hundred miles of water, but it is a notoriously poor village around the water, and the people around it are afraid to avoid it.

Zhen Jinhua's first reaction was to suspect that Lin Qi and Lin Fan might be dealing with the fishermen by the river.

This can't be done!

In her mind, what future prospects could there be for hanging out with the poor fishermen?
No matter how poor your family is, you can't do this!
As for the future of the two brothers, Zhen Jinhua, a mother, has expectations.

I don’t expect the two brothers to be able to take the imperial examination and become officials. As for practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies, that’s it.
As long as you learn certain skills at the county school, you can definitely take over your father's martial arts class in the future.

Or working as a cashier in a store, as long as you don't have any bad habits, your life will be much better than that of ordinary people.

To have such an idea is even stronger than that of ordinary men.

In order to dispel their mother's doubts, the two brothers spent a lot of time to explain clearly the origins of the three big fish.

In fact, Zhen Jinhua still had doubts in her heart, but she just didn't ask.

How did Lin Qi learn to fish?
I really thought fishing for fish and shrimp was so simple and easy. There are skills and tricks involved.

Otherwise, all the people who live near a river can eat fish, shrimp and other river fresh food every day, and they will not worry about their livelihood.

No matter how unpleasant it tastes, it’s still meat, not meat!
Dazhou is not a modern society and does not have the convenience of the explosion of information.

All useful survival skills are carefully treasured by the broom, and there is even a rule of passing them on from male to female.

However, with three river fish in front of her, she didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as possible, one of them was cleaned up, and the other two were directly divided into two halves, and then given to the neighbors.

Lin Qi did not object, but his younger brother Lin Fan was convinced and asked why his mother was so generous.
"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"

"Normally, the neighbors help the family a lot, so we should know how to repay the favor!"

"Besides, Da Qi's fishing for fish and shrimp will be exposed sooner or later. In order to avoid possible trouble in the future, it's better not to be too petty!"

Mother's explanation forced her younger brother Lin Fan to stop being dissatisfied.

Lin Qi knew clearly that her mother's move was the best way to protect herself.In addition, my father works in the government office, so as long as he does not take the initiative to sell fish and shrimps, he will not be harassed by the government servants and gangsters.

But no matter what, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.

Who knows if the jealous guy might make some small moves in private?
With the help of neighbors, there is no need to worry about being deliberately targeted.

The neighbors nearby either work in the government office like my father, or they are small stewards in a certain shop, and they still have a certain status and energy.

At least, it won't be a problem to frighten the street kids who come out of ordinary people's homes!

Of course, the most important thing is to prevent Lin Qi and Lin Fan from getting hurt.

His father, Lin Cai, was much more careless. When he saw the boiled fish on the dinner table, he just started eating it without asking where it came from.

After hearing his mother's explanation, he didn't take it too seriously.

Of course, there was no reaction at all. While eating, he warned: "Be careful when fishing for fish and shrimp in the future!"

"If you encounter someone looking for trouble, just report my name and don't have a direct conflict with the person, otherwise it will be bad if you get beaten!"

After all, it is natural to have some confidence when working in a yamen.

Lin Qi smiled slightly and just ate his meal without saying anything else.

But his younger brother Lin Fan couldn't bear it anymore. He stuffed fish meat into his mouth and said, "What are you afraid of? Not long ago, my brother started practicing iron-making skills. Ordinary street gangsters are no match for him!"

"Oh, Daqi, you've just started practicing Iron Hand!"

Father Lin Cai was a little surprised and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I have to work harder in the future, maybe I will have a better future!"

Because he has not practiced martial arts and does not know much about the affairs and rules of the county school, he does not know what it means to become an iron smelter.

But after all, it is something taught by the Eight Classics of Zheng'er in the county school. If Lin Qi can succeed in cultivation, it is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Upon hearing this, his mother's face showed a look of joy, and she put large pieces of fish into Lin Qi's bowl, telling him to eat more so that he would grow stronger.

The atmosphere at home was rarely harmonious, so Lin Qi naturally didn't say anything to dampen the mood.

However, after the meal, my mother cleared the dishes and my father went out to play cards without hesitation, and the atmosphere at home returned to its normal state.

Really, I don’t even know what to say.

Lin Qi was too lazy to talk nonsense and invited his brother to go to the yard to train with the horses.

Not to mention that they had eaten a lot of fish and had some fat in their stomachs, so both brothers were in a much better mental state than usual.

Under Lin Qi's guidance, his younger brother Lin Fan soon entered a state of forgetfulness.

Zhen Jinhua originally had a gloomy face, but after washing the dishes, she couldn't help but look relieved when she saw a pair of sons exercising hard in the yard.

Even my mood seems to have improved.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the two brothers got up early to wash up and finish the breakfast their mother had just made.

Speaking of breakfast, we have to mention the must-have eggs in every meal.

The two old hens at home can lay eggs every day, and Lin Qi is naturally responsible for this.

As a time traveler, I naturally know how to make old hens lay more eggs. At least one egg a day is not a problem.

When my brother has free time, he has more work to do: catching bugs and digging for earthworms.
