Chapter 73 Building an Ice Cellar

73
The area of ​​Bo Beibei's planned new home is more than 300 square meters, which also includes the area of ​​the yard. She plans to build a few vegetable plots in the yard and a small garden to move the flowers and plants out of the space.

The tea shed is only a few hundred meters away from the new home, and it's just a few minutes away.

Qiao Qiongyan looked at the outer wall that was only built more than one meter high, and asked, "Beibei, do you have an ice cellar in your new home?"

"Ice cellar?" Bo Beibei's eyes flickered, yes, why didn't she think of building an ice cellar?

"That's right, your house has a tea shed. How can guests bear it in summer without ice?" Qiao Qiongyan is also out of habit, because she is very afraid of the heat. In summer, she would never dare to go to a place without an ice basin, otherwise she would definitely lose her clothes. will be soaked.

"It's time to build an ice cellar." Bai Beibei mused, very glad that he had brought Qiao Qiongyan here on a whim. The summer here is too hot, and it would be impossible without an ice cellar.

"But building an ice cellar seems to cost a lot of money." Xiaozhu thought that the ice cellar in the mansion was too small last year, and his young master asked someone to rebuild the ice cellar, which seemed to have cost a lot of money. Xiaozhu saw that Bai Beibei's family was not very good. So I was worried that she would not be able to build the icehouse.

"How much does it cost to build an ice cellar?" Bo Beibei asked.

"The big ice cellar built by our General's Mansion seems to have cost several thousand taels of silver."

Bo Beibei clicked her tongue, this is too expensive, it costs so much to build an ice cellar, how much will it cost to buy ice cubes?

"Beibei, just build one. If your money is not enough, I will pay for it for you." Qiao Qiongyan said richly.

"No, I still have the money to build an ice cellar." Bai Beibei said in deep thought.

She still has more than 5000 taels of silver in her space, and it should be enough to build a half-sized ice cellar, but she has to calculate how long it takes to earn back the capital before deciding whether to build the ice cellar.

Another one, she had to find a reasonable excuse to take out the 5000 taels of silver.

After seeing Bo Beibei's new home, they went to the beach for a while, and Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu also picked up a large bag of colorful shells.

Back at the tea shed, Feng Shi had already prepared the meals for the guests on Bai Dinglang's boat, and Bai Beibei led the two of them to the boat with food boxes. .

Qiao Qiongyan jumped onto the fishing boat with a strong body, and took Xiaozhu over.

Seeing Bai Beibei rowing the boat with ease, Qiao Qiongyan was eager to try: "Beibei, let me row."

Before Beibei could respond, Qiao Qiongyan snatched the pulp from her hand and messed it up.

Xiaozhu fell down without sitting still, but fortunately he didn't fall out of the boat, the boat kept shaking, Xiaozhu held on to the side of the boat tightly and screamed: "Miss, stop making trouble, it's very dangerous!"

Bo Beibei didn't expect Qiao Qiongyan to do such a trick, and hurriedly snatched the oars back, and said angrily: "The whole boat will capsize in this way."

Qiao Qiongyan knew she was in the wrong, rubbed her nose and obediently sat back on the bow. In fact, she herself was frightened just now. Seeing Beibei shake the paddle so easily, she didn't expect it to be skillful.

Feng's time was just right, Bai Beibei delivered the meal to Bai Dinglang and came back, and the meal on the big cruise ship was also ready, Bo Beibei carried the food box and took Qiao Qiongyan to the boat again Went in the other direction.

The boats of Bai Dinglang and Bai Manchuan have one person and one direction, which was also agreed in advance.

"Ah, someone is fishing on the boat." Qiao Qiongyan saw two middle-aged men fishing on a big boat from a distance.

"Hush!" Bo Beibei stretched out a finger to his lips: "Keep your voice down, if you scare their fish away, they will be angry."

Qiao Qiongyan shrank her head, fell silent, and stared straight at the sea.

Bo Beibei rowed the boat to the other side and boarded the cruise ship from the other side.

Bai Manchuan and the others were stunned when they saw Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu. How could Beibei bring the two little girls over?
"Brother, Brother Manfeng, Brother Manshou, these are my friends, Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu." Bai Beibei introduced: "Sister Qiongyan, Xiaozhu, this is my brother, these two are my cousins."

Bai Manchuan and the others blushed when they saw the strange girl, but Qiao Qiongyan smiled at them openly, "Hello."

"Okay...okay..." Several people smiled dully.

Qiao Qiongyan burst out laughing, and teased, "You are indeed brothers."

Even the expressions are the same.

"Huh?" Several people were at a loss.

Bai Beibei glanced at Qiao Qiongyan angrily, and said, "Let's go, go back to the fishing boat, and I'll take you to swim in the sea."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Zhu clapped his hands and called in a low voice, worried about scaring the fish of the two guests away.

"Beibei, can you lend me a fishing rod?" Qiao Qiongyan also wanted to try the feeling of fishing in the sea.

"Today there are only two guests on the boat, and there happens to be a fishing rod. You can take it, but don't go too far." Bai Manchuan warned.

"Brother, I know."

Qiao Qiongyan happily took the fishing rod and bait and followed Bai Beibei back to the fishing boat. Bo Beibei drove the boat out of sight of the cruise ship before stopping.

"Beibei, teach me how to get this bait." Qiao Qiongyan grasped the hook and didn't know what to do. She had seen people fishing before, but she had never done it herself.

Bo Beibei helped her hang the bait on the hook, adjusted the float, and threw the bait out for her.

"What should I do next?" Qiao Qiongyan was at a loss while clutching the fishing rod.

"Sit down now and stare at the float. If the float moves, it means that a fish has been hooked. When the float sinks, quickly pull it up."

"okay, I get it."

"Miss, you must catch a big fish." Xiaozhu encouraged from the side.

"Just watch!" Qiao Qiongyan said confidently.

Bo Beibei didn't want to hit them, so she smiled and lay down on the deck of the bow.

The hull of the boat swayed slightly with the sea water, Qiao Qiongyan and the two of them stared at the float on the sea without moving, and Bai Beibei closed his eyes to enjoy the tranquility of this moment.

abruptly—

"The fish is hooked, the fish is hooked!" Qiao Qiongyan and Xiao Zhu exclaimed excitedly.

so lucky?
Bo Beibei sat up suspiciously, just in time to see Qiao Qiongyan pulling the hook up.

Qiao Qiongyan picked up the hook and looked at it, and cried out in disappointment: "Why not?"

Seeing that there was no shortage of bait at all, and it was hanging on the hook intact, Bo Beibei couldn't help but said coolly: "Your eyes are dazzled, the bait is still there."

"The float moved just now." Qiao Qiongyan said angrily.

"Miss, could it be blown by the wind?" Xiaozhu asked uncertainly.

"It's possible." Qiao Qiongyan said dejectedly.

"Didn't I just say that the fish will not be hooked until the float sinks?" Bo Beibei really convinced the two of them.

"Okay, let's do it again." Qiao Qiongyan curled her lips and threw the hook out. .
