dinner time.
Albert is still missing, and I don’t know where he went.
The mother had finished eating and carried the yawning Pangdun upstairs first. It was said that Booker had a lot of fun playing with his sister next door in the afternoon and refused to take a nap. Now he is starting to feel sleepy.
My sister Angelina has also finished eating. She moves quickly and is cleaning the dishes and other utensils used for dinner in the kitchen. This is why Claude likes his sister very much. She is so sensible and well-behaved. You must know that she is At the age of twelve, I already knew how to help the family with housework.
My father was leaning back in his chair comfortably and smoking his after-dinner pipe, as if he was thinking about some major national affairs and philosophy of life.
Claude put down the silver knife and fork in his hand, picked up the off-white linen tablecloth folded into squares on the table and wiped his mouth. He finally finished eating. Well, my mother stewed a pot of beef bones in the evening. She probably picked them up cheaply from the butcher, but this was also Claude's favorite dish. It just took a while to chew the bones, so he was the last one to finish it.
After clearing all the dishes on the table and sending them to the kitchen for his sister to clean, Claude returned to the restaurant and prepared to talk to his cheap father about business.
"Father, we have a holiday tomorrow on Friday afternoon. Ike, Boa, Vero and I plan to go fishing in Lake Beringa. We have rented old Sonny's single-sail fishing boat. We will camp by the lake in the evening , I hope there will be a good harvest. So I won’t go home for the next two days.”
There is no way, even if you have decided to take a vacation to Bailuzhou for adventure, you still have to find an excuse to hide it from your family. Going fishing in Lake Beringa is a very good reason. After all, I grew up by the lake and not far from the sea. All the young people here have extraordinary water skills.
Of course, it's another matter like the previous owner of this body, Claude, who fell into an ice cave at the end of last year and became seriously ill and had his body taken away by a time traveler. It's not that the water quality is not good, but that the weather is too cold and he wears too many clothes. , my body was not ready, I fell into the ice cave and got cramps. If Vero and the others hadn't quickly grabbed the clothes in three quick movements, the time traveler would probably have run out of suitable people to travel through.
In addition, fishing can be regarded as an alternative way to earn money. The teenagers in Bailu Town find a fishing boat to do chores for a few days to earn some money. This is a very common thing, nothing surprising. It is also common to rent a fishing boat to go fishing like Claude, but this requires some luck. Because without the guidance of experienced captains and fishermen, novices are unlikely to find fish nests and fish news on the lake. After all, Lake Beringa is too big.
Mr. Morsan put down the black mulberry ivory pipe in his hand and looked at his second son: "Are you very short of money? Do you want to learn how to work like a fisherman?"
Claude nodded: "Yes, I bought something, and now I owe Boa, Ike, and Vero some money. So I hope to use these two days of vacation to catch some fish. If I'm lucky, I should I can pay it back right away.”
"How much do you owe?"
"Not much, just one silver taler and three riaso."
"What did you buy? Where did you buy it? What did you buy that required so much money?" Mr. Molsang wanted to know if his second son had been deceived. He was only sixteen years old and spent a month's worth of labor from a commoner. To buy something with the income, if he is really cheated, then as the administrative director of Bailu Town, he must come forward and teach those people what the rules are. This is a challenge to his authority.
Claude shook his head: "Father, you don't have to be nervous. I haven't been fooled and I haven't been deceived. I bought it at the old Munch Grocery Store, oh, it's now called the Fishing Gear and Boat Supplies Specialty Store. The old store owner There is a cookbook that Pichak collected when he was still alive. It is made of animal skin and has a history of more than a hundred years. I think it was passed down from a certain noble family.
This should be regarded as an antique cookbook. It has a beautiful and thick appearance, and contains a total of seventeen delicious dishes. I remembered that my mother’s birthday is next month, so I planned to buy it as a birthday gift for my mother. It’s just that the shopkeeper Vakuri offered two silver thalers, and later Boa and Ike helped me negotiate the price down to one silver thaler and three riaso before the deal was completed. They also paid the money on their behalf.”
Mr. Morsant remained calm: "Go and bring that recipe to me to see if it is an antique and is worth the price. I think my father should know better than you."
