Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 164

Chapter 164: The Charm of a Bunk Bed

More and more fishermen joined Lu Lin's fleet. They all hanged the carp flag logo on their boats.

The carp on the flag looked so vivid that people who saw it were amazed.

Han Xiao Zhou sat on his father's boat, he looked at the carp flag flying in the wind and smiled.

"Xiao Zhou, you are back! Are you feeling better? Have you recovered?" Han Xiao Zhou's friend, Jiang Chuan'er, rowed a boat and said hi to Han Xiao Zhou.

Han Xiao Zhou nodded, "Yeah, I'm all better now!"

"They said that you were taken away by the County Magistrate, is it true?" Jiang Chuan'er asked worriedly.

Han Xiao Zhou shook his head. "It's nothing like that. We had no money to stay in the inn and we were chased out. The County Magistrate and his madam took us in and paid for my treatment fee."

"So that's the case! Knowing that you and your father were taken into the county yamen, everyone is very worried," Jiang Chuan'er said.

The fishermen usually avoided any contact with people living on shore, they were worried for the Hans when they heard they were taken into the county yamen.

"The new County Magistrate is really that good? He has sent for a doctor for you and treated you for free?"

Han Xiao Zhou shook his head and said, "It's not for free. Father is paying the debt slowly. Uncle Qin said the treatment fee plus the medicine fee was 400 cents, I think the doctor has charged less for the sake of Magistrate Lu."

Before this, his father had spent over two taels of silver to treat him, but he showed no sign of improvement, and he recovered fully after he was taken in by Magistrate Lu.

"Magistrate Lu really doesn't put on airs. When I was in the County Yamen, he even asked a chef to cook for father and I," thinking about the taste of the County Yamen dishes, Han Xiao Zhou subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

When Han Xiao Zhou and Han Feng were in the county yamen, they had their meals together with the servants.

Yun Niang's cooking skills were extraordinary, leaving Han Xiao Zhou constantly thinking of the taste.

Jiang Chuan'er blinked and said with a jealous tone, "That's great! Father bought me some grilled squid from the market several days ago, it was so yummy."

Then he raised his head and looked at the carp flag on Han Xiao Zhou's boat. "This flag is very beautiful!"

"That's right! This flag is designed by the County Magistrate. If you join the fleet, you can also have a flag on your boat."

Jiang Chuan'er blinked and said, "My mother is willing, but my father is not! My father said these officials were up to no good, he is not interested to work for officials for some petty gains."

"Look at the fish on this flag, it's a carp. It is said that it will bless us to fish more," Han Xiao Zhou said.

Jiang Chuan'er blinked. This fish was still relatively rare. The fishermen wouldn't eat them when they fished them, they would sell them to the wealthy families who liked to put them in a pond as ornamental fish.

"Xiao Zhou, why does the magistrate want to establish a fleet?" Jiang Chuan'er asked.

Han Xiao Zhou blinked and said, "I don't know! But father and I are very poor, I don't think he is ill-intentioned towards us."

"Are you living on the shore now? What kind of place is that?" Jiang Chuan'er asked curiously.

Han Xiao smiled and said, "Do you want to go take a look? I can take you there!"
