The Lucky Farmgirl has a Pocket Dimension - Chapter 104

  Chapter 104 Touching the snail

As he said that, Meng Xuexue put the bottle on the table and said with a smile: “It is this kind of bottle. The hunter puts peanuts in the bottle and leaves. Monkeys love peanuts, so they will find them and stick their paws into the bottle.” Pick up peanuts.

  However, the design of the bottle mouth is very ingenious. If you stretch your palm, you can enter and exit without hindrance.

   However, once clenched into a fist, they will be stuck in the bottle and cannot get out. And at this moment, the hunter will appear, and the monkey at this time has two choices. “

   Speaking of this, Meng Xuexue looked at Zhao Zhitong and asked, “Girl, tell me, what are the two choices for monkeys?”

Zhao Zhitong blinked his eyes, thought for a while and said, “The monkey can either give up the peanuts in the bottle, release its palms, and then take out its claws from the bottle and escape the hunter’s capture. Or, the monkey is unwilling to give up the peanuts in the bottle, and Captured by hunters, lost freedom.”

  Meng Xuejiao touched Zhao Zhitong’s head: “That’s very good, that’s it. But the monkey finally chose not to give up peanuts. In the end, he was caught by the hunter and lost his freedom.”

  At this time, Zhao Zhitong’s eyes turned red, and she looked at her husband: “But, sir, if the monkey breaks the bottle, will it be able to get peanuts immediately, and escape from the hunter?”

The gentleman smiled: “Young girl is right. Today, Mr. told you about Mencius’s “Fish I Want”. The original intention is not to say that the two must not have both, but to emphasize that when you don’t have the ability to break the hunter’s When it comes to bottles, how should we choose.”

Zhao Zhitong blinked and looked at Mr.: “Sir, I understand. For example, I really want to play when I am studying, but if I go to play, I can’t listen to Mr.’s lectures, and I value Mr.’s lectures more, so I and gave up playing.”

  Meng Xue smiled cheerfully and nodded in satisfaction.

  At this moment, Qiao Muchen was still thinking, and he came back to his senses when his husband called him.

  Meng Xuexue: “Qiao Muchen, come on, tell me your understanding of this.”

  Qiao Muchen pursed his lower lip and said: “Sir, students think that taking and giving up are relative, just like now, I want to learn from my husband, and I also want to practice martial arts with Big Brother Meng to exercise my body.

  However, the time in the school is limited in a day. If I go to practice martial arts with Brother Meng, I can’t go to the teacher’s class at the same time.

  But when I was unwilling to give up both, I wondered, could I give up my usual playing time and use it to practice martial arts and exercise? “

Mr. stroked his beard and laughed: “Yes, yes, thinking from the perspective of how to break a bottle is also a way out. What Mr. taught you today, you will definitely meet in your life in the future. At that time, you must seriously think about what Mr. said , to take or to give up.”

  The two little guys discussed with the husband for a long time in the study of the husband, and when they came out from the small stove, Zhao Yu had already finished practicing martial arts and came to pick her up.

   Seeing Zhao Zhitong and his wife coming out of Mr.’s study, Zhao Yu trotted over, took his sister’s hand and asked, “Sister, are you going to read at Young Master Qiao’s house, or to see your uncle touching snails?”

  Zhao Zhitong was taken aback: “Touch the snail?”

  Zhao Yu nodded: “Yeah, sister, have you forgotten? I will take a rest tomorrow. Didn’t you say that your classmates are coming to our house for dinner?”

  Zhao Zhitong just remembered that he was going to take a bath tomorrow, and couldn’t help being very excited: “Wow, time flies so fast.”

  Then turned to look at Qiao Muchen, and asked, “Qiao Muchen, do you want to go with me to see my dad touch the snails?”

   “Okay, okay.” Qiao Muchen nodded in agreement, but still asked in doubt: “Is the snail edible? I have never seen anyone eat it.”

  Zhao Zhitong nodded: “It’s edible, and it’s super delicious. It can also be made into snail noodles. Let my mother make it for you tomorrow. It’s delicious.”

   Several people talked and laughed, and ran to the river.

  By the time they arrived, Zhao Dong had already touched a large basin of screws, and was catching fish in the river at that time.

  Because the villagers don’t know how to eat snails, there are so many snails in the river that you can easily touch a pot.

  However, the fish is not easy to catch. He has been catching for a long time, but he failed to catch one.

   “Daddy, there is one behind you, behind your leg! What a big fish!”

  Zhao Zhitong was still standing on the bank, screaming all the time, if Zhao Yu hadn’t pulled her, she would have rushed into the river to help her father catch fish.

  However, the movement of the few people attracted many villagers. When they went home from the fields, they passed by here and stood by the river to look at it curiously.

  The villagers in the village also often go down to the river to catch fish, so it is nothing new for Zhao Dong to catch fish. However, no one has ever eaten snails. At this moment, they were surprised to see a large bowl of snails on the bank.

  At this time, some kind-hearted people will tell Zhao Dong that this thing is not edible, so don’t let him touch it.

  Zhao Dongle smiled and said: “It’s okay, I just want to take it home and try it.”

  The man shook his head and said: “This stuff is very bad. I ate it when there was a famine and there was no food. It was full of dirt and it was very unpalatable. Don’t waste oil and salt.”

  Zhao Dong: “It’s okay, auntie, let’s try it, maybe it’s delicious.”

  Seeing that Zhao Dong didn’t listen to persuasion, the woman didn’t say anything more.

   However, the news that Zhao Dong touched the snails in the river and returned to eat spread in the village.

  Many people said that Zhao Dong’s family was so poor that they could only eat snails.

   But then, I thought, didn’t their family make a lot of money in the tofu business?

At this time, some people who are good at gossip began to popularize science: “You don’t even know? Zhao Dong redeemed the girl who was sold by the Zhu family. I heard that it cost one hundred and fifty taels of silver. How could the family return the money?” There will be money, I suppose, and debts to pay.”

   “My God, is this true? One hundred and fifty taels! This Zhao Dong family is really willing to give up, it is really kind and righteous to his brother!”

“Oh! If you want me to say, then this is a fool. He has already taken in two sons. He is worthy of his brother. Why spend more money to redeem a girl? Tsk tsk, look, their family I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive this winter.”

   “Didn’t this just receive new food, it should be fine.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. The state will come down to collect taxes soon. I heard that Zhao Dong’s family only has 20 mu of land, and more than half of the poor land. After paying the tax, you can wait for it! I advise you to stay away recently. Order at their house, don’t get hit by the autumn wind.”

  …

  As for the discussion among the villagers, Zhao Dong and the others naturally didn’t know about it, and they were going home happily at this time.

  Because Meng Fusheng came over just now and helped Zhao Dong catch two fish, Zhao Zhitong was very happy.

  At this time, Zhao Zhitong and Zhao Yu, each carrying a fish, and Zhao Dong carrying a pot full of snails, the three chatted and laughed as they headed home.

  At this time, Mrs. Wang, who had just returned from chatting with people on the street, met Zhao Dong and the other three when she walked to the door.

  She had heard that Zhao Dong’s family was poor on the street, and she had already started touching the snails in the river to eat, so she’ll have a look.

   Sure enough, seeing Zhao Dong holding a pot of snails in his hand, he immediately showed a disgusted expression on his face, and immediately walked quickly to the house. After entering the house, he slammed the door and directly closed it.

   I was afraid that Zhao Dong would ask her for money.
