Chen Feng looked at Zhang Xiaohua.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was holding the kettle, with a puzzled look on her face, she wanted to ask herself what was wrong with her clothes.

Chen Feng said, "Don't you want to live in our ancestral tomb?"

"what?"

This sentence was a bit too euphemistic. With Zhang Xiaohua's quick reaction, it took him several seconds to break through!

"Pfft, what nonsense are you talking about? I was trying to get rid of them that day. Your second uncle is not suitable for me."

Chen Feng was of course joking. He was not so narcissistic as to want the other party to lust for his body.

Unless she's a pervert!

As he was speaking, there was movement on the fishing rod.

Lifting it slightly, the black fishing line immediately became taut, and the fishing rod pulled the fish in the water and slowly reeled it towards the shore.

"Not bad, almost two kilograms."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the bucket she brought and said depressedly, "I came here at around seven in the morning. In more than two hours, I only caught a few small fish. Your luck is really extraordinary."

Chen Feng looked at her fishing rod and said, "Your fishing rod is also extraordinary."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's from Hong Kong. It's a gift from my brother."

Her fishing rod was imported, made of metal and with nylon fishing line, which was a rare item even in Beijing.

Chen Feng put the grass carp into the fish bucket and continued to fish.

Zhang Xiaohua chatted about her experiences in the south.

Chen Feng looked at the numerous migratory birds on the lake and muttered to himself, "Come here a turtle dove, come here a turtle dove."

According to statistics from later generations, there are more than 500 species of migratory birds in the city of Beijing during the spring and autumn, not including extinct bird species.

Mallards, quails, doves, cormorants, geese and swans are among them.

Chen Feng has been eating too much mallard duck recently and wanted to change the taste.

In his previous life, he ate a lot of roasted turtledove.

However, turtledoves usually live on the shore, and it was the first time he saw these turtledoves go into the water (turtledoves can swim, and their swimming skills are very good).

Wild turtledoves are very fertile and can lay 16 eggs a year. They are relatives of pigeons.

His wish came true. A silly turtledove seemed to have heard his call and separated from the flock of birds.

When he saw the corn kernels on the fishhook, he lowered his head and pecked at the hook which was almost submerged in the water.

"Haha, this silly bird!"

Zhang Xiaohua looked in the direction of his fishing rod and saw the turtledove that brought it to him with a strange look on his face.

Even if it's just luck, this is too good to be true!

Before she remembered, the man told her that a son of fortune appeared in the Chen family.

She still doesn't believe it at all.

Now I kind of recognize it!

In the land of China, some darlings with great luck appear every few hundred years.

Not to mention the lucky people in ancient times like Liu Xiu, there was an equally lucky person decades ago - Soong Tzu-wen.

Born into the Song family, he was able to take advantage of everything by investing in Principal Chang. As a result, he worked hard, obtained a Harvard degree, and became one of the few economics experts in the Republic of China.

He had a smooth career path and before he was 40, he became Bald Man's number one finance minister.

He encountered assassination attempts six times, and escaped each time by sheer luck.

It is rumored that he had 7 million U.S. dollars when he was in charge of the Soong family, and it is said that the Japanese spread rumors that he had 30 billion U.S. dollars.

This is the US dollar from the 40s!

Before he died, he spent most of his property, leaving more than one million to his descendants, and he enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

This is much happier than those prodigals whose lives are still alive but whose money has been spent.

From birth to death, he is always surrounded by the halo of luck.

"Xiao Feng, please sell this turtledove to me."

"No, I want to eat it myself."

Chen Feng refused without hesitation.

"I'll give you money!"

Zhang Xiaohua was rejected by him for the second time and felt a little annoyed.

"Who are you looking down on?" Chen Feng patted his pocket, spread out his five fingers, and said proudly: "I'm not short of money!"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the turtledove tied up by Chen Feng, and felt extremely depressed when she thought about the fact that she had been eating only porridge and steamed buns for half a month and it was difficult for her to even buy some meat.

"Forget it, I'll fish by myself..."

As a result, in an hour, Chen Feng caught more than a dozen fish, six mallards, two water birds whose names he couldn't tell, and eight turtledoves. She also caught three, but the total weight of the three was probably not as heavy as Chen Feng's smallest fish.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately lost her mood.

She felt that the fish and birds in the lake discriminated against women.

"It shouldn't be!"

"Sister Xiaohua, take your time fishing. I'll give you the spot."

Chen Feng smiled and picked up the fish bucket, ready to go home.

"Hey, wait, Xiaofeng, you can't finish all these fish. You can sell them to the cannery or to me." Zhang Xiaohua still wanted to exchange them for some meat.

It's so pitiful. He escaped from that hellhole in the desert, ate poisonous snake meat for half a month, and everyone around him was killed or injured. The psychological trauma has not gone away to this day.

After much difficulty, he was arranged to hide and recuperate in Nanluoguxiang, but in the end he couldn't even eat a bite of meat.

"No, private transactions are illegal." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Change, I want to change with you." Zhang Xiaohua said through gritting her teeth.

"I'm not short of money."

"Would you like a jade pendant? It's made of top-quality Hetian jade, blessed by a master."

Chen Feng laughed secretly in his heart.

This deal is worth doing.

"Okay, lead the way!"

Carrying the fish bucket, I came to the 95 compound.

Zhang Xiaohua also lived in the front yard. Because she was a military dependent, the street office took good care of her and gave her a suite, which was a room that could be divided into two rooms.

The kitchen is made by renovating the space under the eaves and enclosing it with wooden boards and bricks.

Many residents of courtyard houses do this just to have an extra room.

The two families were actually separated by a wall.

Zhang Xiaohua went into the bedroom and asked Chen Feng to wait outside.

In less than two minutes, he took out a piece of snow-white jade.

"What kind of antique is this? Is it valuable?" Chen Feng asked.

He is only familiar with watches and Burmese jade, but he doesn't like expensive things.

The jade business is very complicated.

Without more than ten years of experience and lessons, young people simply cannot cope with it.

However, he was well aware that white jade was the most precious variety of nephrite. Otherwise, it would have been in vain for him to follow those real children from wealthy families.

"You'll know if you ask your grandfather." Zhang Xiaohua said with great distress, "For a turtledove, I sold a century-old jade carving. It's a big loss."

"No, you have to compensate me with a few cans."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let my grandfather take a look at it. If it's good, I'll give you some delicious food."

He accepted the jade pendant and went back with the fish bucket.

"Grandpa, look at this thing, is it valuable?" Chen Feng took out the jade pendant.

The little girl ran over, lay down beside the fish barrel, and immediately became happy when she saw the migratory birds and fish inside.

The old lady came out of the room, still holding the cloth she was sewing. When she saw the jade pendant in his hand, she asked in surprise, "Hotan white jade?"

The old man took a look and nodded, "Did you exchange it for the duck and Zhang Xiaohua?"

"Yes!" Chen Feng asked, "Is this one clean?"

He didn't want to put in a piece of something that came out of a tomb.

The most taboo thing about jade pendants is wearing them as burial objects in tombs, it is unlucky!

In order to produce jade with blood stains, some counterfeiters place them in the abdominal cavity of living cats or dogs and bury them underground for a period of time, making them look like ancient jade.

The old man said: "Zhang Xiaohua would not do such a stupid thing."

"Give her a dozen oranges, some duck eggs, a few pounds of dried fish and some canned food. We can't take advantage of her too much."

Chen Feng accepted the jade pendant with satisfaction, handed the fish bucket to the old lady, returned to his room, and unlocked the cabinet.

This is his treasure chest!

The little girl followed him in and saw the duck eggs, oranges, and canned food in the cupboard. She immediately hugged his thighs tightly.

"Cauldron!"
