Chapter 1386: Chapter 543: Delicious Rolled Liangpi, Appetizing and Tasty! This Is the Proper Way to Use a Landing Net!

Cold skin noodles and similar foods, if not eaten promptly, must be kept in bags, or else their surfaces will dry out and become hard and dry.

After tidying up the kitchen, Lin Xu took off his inconvenient down jacket, changed into an outdoor jacket, grabbed a net, a long pole, a mesh bag, and a plastic bucket, and set off towards the mountain hollow with Shen Guofu and his daughter.

As they reached the gate, Dundun chased after them.

Lin Xu had no choice but to go back and grab the cat carrier, putting the little guy inside and carrying him along.

"Whether we can reach the persimmons today is still uncertain, and this little guy is increasing the load... Dundun, if the persimmons we pick aren’t as heavy as you, you’ll have to walk back!"

Shen Jiayue reached her finger into the cat carrier’s air hole, tickling the little guy’s chin.

Lin Xu originally thought it would be futile, but after Shen Jiayue’s words, it seemed there would be a harvest today, since Dundun is famous for being lazy, and would never walk if carried.

The mountain hollow was quite far, and making him walk back was definitely out of the question.

They didn’t drive and just strolled there.

This mountain hollow is right beneath the cliff hotel, within the vicinity of the scenic area, but due to lack of development, the road is very difficult to traverse.

By the roadside, the three of them stepped on scattered large rocks, slowly approaching the bottom of the mountain hollow.

Various trees grew at the bottom, and those wild persimmon trees were in the deepest part, with bright red persimmons hanging on the branches like small lanterns.

The bottom of the hollow was quite flat, with the ground covered in various pebbles.

Lin Xu put down the cat carrier, unzipped it, let Dundun out, and then assembled the net pole, extending it.

He slowly reached up to the branch, carefully slipped the persimmon into the net, and then pulled forcefully, causing the persimmon to fall into the mesh bag.

Shen Jiayue watched in surprise and said:

"Wow, so this is the correct use of a net, learned something new, from now on, if I can’t catch fish, I’ll use a net to pick wild fruits, never going home empty-handed!"

Lin Xu laughed and said:

"If Grandpa Sun heard this, he’d definitely think you were implying something."

He put down the net, took out the persimmon from the mesh bag, ready to check its quality.

If it’s bad, they’ll head back home.

If it’s been pecked by birds, they’ll try another.

But before he could carefully inspect it, Shen Guofu took it, rubbed it on his clothes a few times, then took a bite. Soon, his face showed an expression of pleasant surprise:

"It’s crisp and sweet, not bad, keep going, Xiao Xu."

Witnessing his father-in-law’s daring act of tasting, Lin Xu didn’t say much, raised the net, and continued picking persimmons.

Five or six at a time, taking them out and putting them into the plastic bucket, and then continued picking.

Originally thinking it was only his father-in-law who was indifferent, who knew as soon as Lin Xu put down the net, Shen Jiayue did the same, picked one up, rubbed it on her clothes, and ate it heartily.

Luckily, Han Shuzhen didn’t come, otherwise this kind of "mom sees and scolds" behavior would definitely trigger the mother’s must-have skill:

[Mother’s Stick]

"Didn’t expect it’s almost spring, and there’s still persimmons to eat, really rare."

Shen Jiayue crunched on the wild persimmon, and meanwhile, put Dundun back into the cat carrier rather than letting him stroll in the snow.

Ahem, since persimmons can be eaten, mommy will carry you back when we leave.

Thus, Lin Xu raised the net again and picked for a while, collecting a substantial half-bucket of persimmons. Except for those unreachable at the top of the tree, the rest were basically all picked.

Here and there, a few were picked with too much force, missed the mesh bag, and shattered on the rocks.

"I feel this mountain hollow is quite nice, flat and clean, camping here in the summer would be great... Xu-bao, can we camp here?"

"We can, but it’s better not to."

Lin Xu put away the net, packed it into the net bag and handed it to Shen Guofu, carrying the plastic bucket himself, ready to head back.

Shen Jiayue grew curious:

"Why not? Because there are too many mosquitoes here?"

"No, because it’s a floodway in the mountains... Haven’t you noticed the bottom is full of pebbles? Those are washed down during heavy rains."

Shen felt her recently stirred camping idea vanish into thin air.

Ahem, the power of nature is strong, better not tempt fate.

Going down the mountain hollow is easy, stepping on big rocks to descend, but going up is a bit difficult, some places even require climbing.

Once back at the surface, all three were panting.

Shen Guofu said:

"The pork knuckle I’ve eaten might have already been digested halfway during that climb."

But seeing the fiery persimmons in the bucket, they felt the trip was fruitful.

Hoping tomorrow’s wild vegetable foraging will also yield results, then wild vegetable buns with braised pork belly, delightful.

Back in the farmhouse restaurant yard, Dundun emerged from the cat carrier, quickly rushing into the dining room, snuggling around the charcoal stove to keep warm.

Cats sense temperature through their pads, and walking a bit in the snow made the little guy feel very cold, hence he dashed back inside to warm up immediately.

Lin Xu washed the picked persimmons and offered them to the elderly, parents, and mother-in-law to taste.

"Whoa, these persimmons are so sweet."

"Right, crisp and sweet, it’s amazing they’re still so good after hanging through the winter."

"We should continue picking around New Year next year to see if they’re still this delicious."

While everyone was chatting, online, Lin Xu’s video shot in the morning was up for release, automatically appearing in his personal updates.

The title of this video was very enticing:

"How does it feel to drive in the snow-covered meadow on New Year’s Day? I drove a Maserati on my own meadow to try it out..."

This title subtly included advertising for Maserati, highlighted the snowy scenery of the meadow, and with the words "my own meadow," slyly flaunted a bit.

Bored netizens at home saw this and were instantly drawn in:

"Wow, updating a video on New Year’s Day, Lin Boss is so dedicated!"

"How much did Maserati pay? I’m not convinced, World Expo!"

"My Ferrari isn’t convinced either!"

"And me, my Yadi isn’t convinced!"

"My Lime... Whatever, I’m just a shared bike, nothing to be unconvinced about."

"Isn’t Lin Boss’s ’my own meadow’ a bit pretentious?"

"Driving Maserati in a snowy meadow, what’s there to ask, it must be super exhilarating!"

"..."

Netizens eagerly clicked on the video, starting to enjoy the New Year’s Day content.

While other creators transformed into lazy pigeons, constantly delaying updates, Lin Xu not only never delayed but even took the initiative to add more, not stopping even on New Year’s Day.

This dedicated attitude led many netizens to mention their favorite creators and streamers:

"Look at others!"

"Creators need to step up too!"

Maserti’s Deputy GM Hou Dingshan, home with family, saw Lin Xu’s update and excitedly slapped his thigh:

"Worth it, this contract was so worth it!"

While other car companies sign celebrity endorsements who mostly just show up, take a few photos, and leave, without mentioning the brand in daily life.

Some celebrities endorse phone A yet blatantly use phone B on social media, showing no respect toward their endorsing partner.

But Lin Xu is different, not only regularly posting Maserati promotions as agreed but also incorporating Maserati elements in his videos whenever possible.

This type of ambassador is simply a model in the industry!

Hearing that other modification manufacturers plan to develop the Greater China market, might poach Lin Xu... No way, this dedicated ambassador must be retained.

Thinking this, Hou Dingshan picked up the phone, calling the Greater China regional GM of Maserati to discuss enhancing Lin Xu’s promotion contract.

The previous one-year contract was too conservative.

In a blink, it could be over.

Such an outstanding promotion ambassador should be at least three to five years minimum.

Yes, Lin Boss gave us a surprise with his New Year’s update, we should reciprocate with a surprise!
