Ye Gong's eyebrows were stroked very comfortably, but he still said, "If you have any problems, come to me. If you don't have any problems, just leave me alone. Is this your way of life, Master Lu?"
Lu Jing knew that it wouldn't work if he didn't make a big move, so he turned around and left Ye Gongmei's residence without saying a word.
Seeing this, Ye Gongmei stopped dangling her little feet, frowned, and muttered, "No way, you just said a few words and you got angry? Huh, he is really a guy whose mind is smaller than the tip of a needle. Anyway, I won't do it first." Let's see who can outsmart the other."
Ye Gongmei had made up her mind, but she didn't expect that Lu Jing only went there for a moment and then came back with a pile of green bricks, half a bag of glutinous rice and a bag of lime in his arms.
Lu Jing threw all the things on the ground, then went to the kitchen to get a big pot, lit the fire, and started to boil his half bag of glutinous rice.
Ye Gongmei watched for a while, becoming more and more curious. She felt as if a kitten had been scratching her. She also forgot about the harsh words she had dropped earlier and couldn't help but speak first, "What are you going to do?" "
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon."
"Oh, it's quite mysterious. Do you think I don't know what you want to do? Lime husk porridge, isn't it just used to build walls? But I am staying well in the academy and there is no danger. There is no need for a city wall. .”
"Not a wall."
Lu Jing waited until the glutinous rice was cooked, poured the bag of lime into it, mixed it well, and then began to lay bricks.
It was his first time to do this kind of work, so it was inevitable that he was a little sloppy. The bricks he laid were crooked at first, and he was often laughed at by Ye Gongmei on the side. But after he became more familiar with it, it became much neater and the speed became faster.
Lu Jing spent a total of two hours building a small pond.
"What, it's just a pool." Ye Gongmei was a little disappointed.
Lu Jing still didn't explain anything. He just went to the back mountain again to get water. Then he sneaked into Professor Zheng's yard and took a dozen goldfish from his pond and put them into the pond. .
Seeing a bunch of goldfish swimming in the pond, Ye Gongmei's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. Obviously she also liked these little goldfish, but she still said, "The fish pond is just a fish pond, there is no need to be so mysterious." .”
"I told you not to rush."
Lu Jing stood up and looked at the fish pond he had built, and checked around to make sure there was no water leakage. Then he took out a small fish net from his body, which he had brought with him when he went to buy lime, bricks and glutinous rice. Bought.
"Are you treating me like a child?" Ye Gongmei curled his lips, looking very disdainful.
Fishing for goldfish was not a rare thing in the Chen Dynasty. It was a popular game among the people. You can often see vendors doing this kind of business in temple fairs or other lively markets, and many people came to catch goldfish. They were young children and young women.
Ye Gongmei felt that she was too old to play with such childish things anymore. That guy Lu Jing was really hateful, and he treated her like a brat.
But if that guy begs me again, I won't be able to reluctantly play for a while, Ye Gongmei thought.
But who would have thought that when Lu Jing heard her words, he actually stretched out his hand and pulled off the small fish net.
Ye Gongmei was stunned at the moment, with tears welling up in her eyes, but before she could say anything, she heard Lu Jing say again, "Do you have any paper here? Get me some paper and I'll show you something fun."
Ye Gong frowned, turned around and quickly wiped away the tears that were close to his eyes with his hands. He went back to the back room to get a stack of rice paper. When he came out again, there was a mandrill behind him.
The mandrill knew how powerful Lu Jing was. Although he was curious, he just stood and watched from a distance.
After that, Ye Gongmei saw Lu Jing take out a piece of rice paper and attach it to the small fishing net. Then he handed the fishing net to Ye Gongmei's hand and said, "Go catch the goldfish."
"How do you catch fish with a paper net?" Ye Gongmei frowned again.
"The game, of course, has to be a bit challenging to be fun." Lu Jing moved another water tank and placed it next to the fish pond. "If you take it out and put it in this tank, it will be considered a success. If you fall off halfway, you have to start over. .”
Lu Jing's improved version of the goldfish fishing game was copied from the Summer Festival in District 11 next door.
However, it was not until the Edo period that this kind of gameplay really appeared in Japan, and it became popular after that.
As a result, Lu Jing now used it to coax Ye Gongmei.
Ye Gongmei reluctantly took the paper fishing net, and after remaining reserved for a while, she tiptoed to fish in the pond. As a result, she was worried that the paper would break when exposed to water, so she acted in a hurry the first time.
Before the goldfish even understood what was happening, it had already smashed through the thin paper.
So Ye Gongmei learned his lesson the second time and moved much more gently. However, the paper was soaked in water for too long and failed.
This time, Ye Gongmei changed the third piece of paper without Lu Jing's intervention, and then the cycle began.
The more Ye Gongmei played, the more she got into it. She had completely forgotten all the time. Later, she couldn't help but start shouting, which was a complete release of her nature.
Lu Jing was also happy and relaxed, sitting on the stool where Ye Gongmei used to bask in the sun, looking at Ye Gongmei with a smile.
About an hour later, Ye Gongmei's wrists were sore from fishing and he could no longer lift his feet. Then he threw away the fishing net in his hand and sat down on the ground.
Then he said to Lu Jing, "You hurt me."
Before Lu Jing said anything, Ye Gongmei added, "But it was quite fun."
"Then take a break and then continue playing."
Ye Gongmei shook his head, "No, you must have something serious to come to me today, so let's talk about the business first."
Lu Jing nodded when he heard this, and stopped being polite to Ye Gongmei, "Can you lend me that beast control formation you mentioned to me before?"
"What?" Ye Gongmei's eyebrows moved again, "Who do you want to use it against? That formation was created by me to tame extremely ferocious beasts, but I haven't actually used it myself. After all, There are not many things in this world that can be called ferocious beasts.”
"I was about to ask Teacher, who is the most powerful monster in the academy."
Ye Gongmei looked at Lu Jing with an even weirder look, "Are you looking for trouble?"
She originally thought that Lu Jing borrowed the formation to deal with some big enemy, but it turned out that Lu Jing didn't even choose a target to deal with, so he came to borrow the formation from her first.
Lu Jing couldn't say that he was attracted by the formation that consumes a lot of secret power, so he put it in the backup plan early. He could only say, "This... the ancients said that practice will reveal true knowledge. I have never You have learned so much knowledge here, and you also want to practice your skills."
