Acai's Sky

Chapter 297: Seaside Trip (1)…

Canaan Kingdom Pingnan Town Jixiang Inn

Acai was eating a delicious breakfast.

Tong Jiawu gently peeled the eggshell and said, "The weather here is really nice, it's a clear and crisp autumn day. I feel refreshed when I wake up early in the morning. It's so relaxing to be by the sea."

At this moment, Tong Shishan slowly approached, holding a plate of fragrant rice dumplings in her hands, a smile on her face. "When I came here yesterday, I saw some rice dumpling leaves in the kitchen, so I asked the inn's chef to help make some rice dumplings for us."

Ah Cai came forward, took a deep breath, and exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, it smells so good! Did they use glutinous rice grown in their hometown?"

Tong Shishan smiled and nodded, "That's right. Luckily, we packed a lot of supplies from our home warehouse in advance."

Then he carefully peeled the zongzi in his hand and continued, "Try it, this is an egg yolk zongzi specially prepared for you. You don't like meat zongzi very much, so I only wrapped a portion for the Marquis and the guards to enjoy!"

At this time, Tong Shiqi also came over and joined the group peeling rice dumplings.

Tong Shiqi suggested: "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, right? Why don't we make some mooncakes? And then have Ajiu send some to us from home..."

Ah Cai chewed the sweet rice dumplings and replied vaguely, "I want to eat mooncakes with red bean paste filling. Five-nut mooncakes are also good!"

After hearing this, Tong Jiawu smiled and asked, "How about some more mooncakes with egg yolk filling?"

She knew very well that her young lady seldom ate high-fat foods, but she did not know the specific reason.

Ah Cai was happily savoring the delicious rice dumplings while secretly sighing.

Now that I am in good health, I can enjoy all kinds of delicious food. Looking back on the time when I was sick, I couldn’t eat anything. I really treated my mouth badly!

Outside the inn, Guard Wen was busy all night and finally returned at dawn.

Ah Cai saw him and waved her little hand to greet him, "Good morning, Guard Wen!"

Guard Wen quickly saluted, "Good morning, Miss Lin!"

Seeing that he looked tired, Acai asked Tong Jiawu to quickly help him make some breakfast, and then let him go to bed.

Ah Cai looked at Guard Wen doubtfully as he returned to his room to rest. "What has he been doing? Why is he so exhausted?"

Tong Shishan explained with a smile, "Isn't he ordered to protect Lord Lin? He wiped out all the bandit camps along the way we went out to play!"

"what?"

"I was wondering why there were no famous scenes along the way. 'I built this road, I planted these trees,' the cultural guards really worked hard!"

Ah Cai was shocked. This guard Wen is really working hard!

Other guards would rush forward when faced with danger, but he was eliminating all threats in the bud beforehand. No, he was nipping all the threats in the bud...

"Where's my dad? He's not even going to eat breakfast?"

Ah Cai looked around with confusion on her face, but she still couldn't see the familiar figure of Lord Lin.

Seeing this, Tong Shishan couldn't help but chuckle, "Your dad went out to sea fishing in the middle of the night, and he swore he'd definitely catch some fish this time!"

Hearing this, Ah Cai's mouth opened into a big "O" shape in surprise, and she asked in disbelief, "Another Air Force?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him covered their mouths and burst into laughter.

That’s right. Lord Lin has some luck. Others always have a big catch when fishing, but when it comes to him, he can never catch any fish.

Ah Cai rubbed her chin gently, secretly planning to make some special fish food for her father later, and add some special ingredients to it so that he would never return empty-handed again!

Thinking of this, Ah Cai turned and walked into the room, and took out the alchemy furnace from his backpack - [Taohuawu Alchemy Artifact].

She placed the alchemy furnace on the table and began to seriously consider how to improve the fish food.

Ah Cai stared intently at the menu displayed on the alchemy furnace, carefully searching for various elixir recipes.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her gaze fell on a pill called [Pet Pill].

This elixir seems to have great potential for increasing fish's attraction to bait.

Acai rubbed her hands excitedly and clicked the [Pet Dan] option on the menu without hesitation.

However, at this moment, a prompt message popped up on the screen:

[If the materials are missing, can I make up the difference with money?]

Ah Cai clicked decisively immediately.

[yes]

In just a short while, Acai successfully produced 1000 [Pet Pills] and put them into a large exquisite porcelain bottle.

Ah Cai picked up the [Taohuawu Medicine Refining Artifact] and gave it a kiss. "What a treasure! I don't even need to collect herbs. Money can solve all my problems!"

Ah Cai shouted, "Ah Wu, come here quickly! Bring me the fish food that the Marquis usually uses!"

Tong Jiawu hurried over upon hearing the sound, holding the bag of fish food that Lord Lin usually used.

After Ah Cai took the fish food, he poured out five [Pet Pills] from the large porcelain bottle. These pills had the unique glow of elixirs and emitted a strange fragrance.

She took the pill and squeezed it hard, and the pill instantly shattered into powder.

Then, Acai poured the powder into the fish food, stirred it carefully with both hands, and finally kneaded it into round little balls.

Tong Jiawu stood aside and said with gritted teeth, "Um... Miss, didn't you add too many pills? You used up five of them in one go..."

Ah Cai blinked, scratched her cheek, and replied with a smile: "A lot? It doesn't matter, let's try it first. If the effect is too good, I'll put less next time!"

……

Pingnan Town Beach

Lord Lin was humming a seriously off-tune tune leisurely and walking briskly towards the huge reef that was his favorite place to go.

After arriving at the destination, he happily took out the fish food that his daughter had carefully prepared for him from his backpack.

He handed it to the chief guard Li Kai beside him and ordered, "Xiao Kai, please help me put this bait on the hook. Hey, hey, we're sure to catch some fish today!"

Li Kai looked at Lord Lin's back helplessly and shook his head, but still did as he was told.

When everything was ready, Lord Lin swung his fishing rod and threw the hook far into the sea.

At this time, the captain of the guards, Li Kai, stood aside, rolling his eyes and silently watching Lord Lin fishing with great interest.

I muttered to myself: This guy has such poor fishing skills, but he has a special liking for this activity. It's really laughable.

People are addicted to food...

If we really relied on the fish caught by Lord Lin to fill our stomachs, I'm afraid everyone would have been starving long ago!
