Chapter 116 Buying melons [Fifth update, thank you chapter for recommendation votes]

Li Si watched the carriage go away, picked up the silver, and put it into the mustard space. Then he found some dry firewood nearby and piled it up, and then lit the dry firewood.

After lighting the bonfire, he took off his clothes and took a bath in the stream.

He just killed someone yesterday and touched human bones this morning. He felt really unlucky, and Li Si wanted to wash away all the bad luck.

That is, while taking a bath, he was still walking in the stream, catching a few fish ashore from time to time.

There are some fish in this stream, but not too many. That means Li Si is better at catching them, but it would be difficult for others.

After taking a shower, he washed the clothes, then randomly found some logs, built a shelf next to the campfire, and put the clothes on the shelf to dry in the campfire.

After doing all this, he started to deal with the fish. As usual, he squeezed out the internal organs of the fish, then found a relatively thin stone to scrape off the fish scales, and then used bamboo to pass through the small fish and put them in. Roasted on the fire.

But although it is the same as last time, this time it has a lot more seasonings than last time, such as chili powder, pepper and so on.

This is still due to Na Minyi. Although he didn't take any vegetables, Li Si still mixed some seasonings in the kitchen before setting the fire.

He was in a hurry when he came out of Fengmen County before. He didn't bring all these things with him, but he just made up for it this time.

At the same time, with the existence of Mustard Seed Dimension, he can carry a lot more things, and he is lighter.

Li Si was very careful when grilling the fish this time, and it was not burnt. It still looked pretty good, pink and golden.

It tasted quite good. The tender fish meat and the flavor of the seasonings whetted his appetite after he had not eaten meat for several days. He ate all the fish he caught in one go.

After eating the fish, Li Si took off the clothes drying on the rack and touched them, but they were already dry.

Then he put on his clothes and put out the bonfire with an earthen pot.

After doing all this, Li Si walked to the official road, took off the reins of the maroon horse, mounted the horse and continued towards Jingning County.

After driving for about ten miles, he finally saw a place where there were people. There was a small village on the left side of the official road. From the official road, Li Si could see the smoke coming from the village chimney. Green smoke.

But what caught Li Si's attention was that there was a melon patch next to the official road. He could vaguely see watermelons lying in the melon patch, which made him thirsty.

At the same time, he also saw a pergola on the melon field. Sitting next to the pergola was an old man with disheveled gray hair. The old man was shirtless and leaning in the shadow of the pergola. He squinted his eyes slightly and fanned himself with a cattail leaf. , a comfortable look.

Li Si smiled slightly, got off the horse, and led the horse towards the pergola.

As he walked towards the old man, the old man also heard the noise, raised his head and looked at Li Si, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.

"Old man, is this the way to Jingning County?" Li Si asked politely towards the old man.

Hearing Li Si's polite question, the old man's vigilance faded a little, and he nodded towards Li Si and said, "Well, just go forward."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction ahead.

Seeing the old man pointing the way, Li Si nodded with a smile, then pointed to the melon field beside him and asked the old man: "Old man, do you want to sell this melon?"

As soon as he heard that Li Si wanted to buy melons, the old man laughed immediately, propped himself up, stood up and asked, "It's for sale... of course it's for sale, my melons are so sweet..."

As he said that, he walked to the melon patch to choose a melon. He looked around, picked a watermelon and knocked it a few times, and then found another watermelon.

The old man weighed the two watermelons in his hands, then pointed at one of the watermelons and said to Li Si: "This one is heavy, so it must be sweet. How about this one?"

Li Si was not very good at picking watermelons, but it was quite interesting to watch the old man pick watermelons. He also walked closer, weighed two watermelons in his hands, and said, "Well, this one is really heavy." , that’s it.”

When the old man saw Li Si holding a watermelon in one hand, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this little kid was so thin and had so much strength, but he didn't care about it and said with a smile: " Okay, I’ll weigh you right now.”

With that said, he walked towards the pergola and got the scale.

At this time, Li Si's expression paused slightly, as if he sensed something, and his expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.

Just as the old man was taking the scale, he broke the vine.

Then Li Si took the watermelon and walked towards the old man, with a look of hesitation on his face.

The hesitation in Li Si's eyes gradually disappeared, and then he looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, there seems to be someone else in your shed?"

Hearing Li Si's question, the old man's hand holding the scale paused slightly, turned back and smiled at Li Si: "Oh, my wife is taking a nap inside, let's keep our movements quiet so as not to disturb her. "

"Well, it won't make any noise." Li Si nodded, and then handed the watermelon to the old man.

Then the old man took the scale and weighed it.

"This watermelon weighs twelve kilograms. Just give me twelve copper coins." The old man said to Li Si with a smile.

Li Si nodded, took out twelve copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the old man.

He looked like he was handing it out from his sleeve, but in fact he was taking it out from the mustard space.

"Thank you, I wish you a safe journey." The old man took the money handed over by Li Si with a smile like a chrysanthemum on his face.

"By the way, old man, do you have a basket here? It's hard for me to get it. How about I buy a bamboo basket from you?" Li Si suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said to the old man in distress.

The old man glanced at Li Si, then at Chi Tu Ma, nodded and said, "It's indeed a little difficult to get. I'll get you a bamboo basket right now. I don't need your money."

As he said that, the old man walked into the pergola and went to get the bamboo basket.

Li Si looked at the old man's back and sighed slightly. Taking advantage of this moment, he took out a few silver nuggets from the mustard seed space, walked to where the old man was sitting, and put the silver nuggets down.

Then he returned to where he was and waited.

"Sir, how about this bamboo basket? Can you use it?" Not long after, the old man came out with a bamboo basket and said to Li Sid with a simple smile.

"Okay, thank you very much, old man." Li Si took the bamboo basket and put the watermelon into the bamboo basket. It seemed to be much more convenient.

"There's nothing to thank you for. I wish you a happy journey." The old man smiled naively.

When Li Li heard what the old man said, his expression paused slightly, then he shook his head and smiled, then led the horse to the official road.
