Chapter 1822: Chapter 1824: Building a House?

On the other hand, Li Fugui spoke up, "Actually, fishing is quite good. It can calm your mind; it’s quite leisurely and free. But in the summer, it might be hot; it’d be best to set up a canopy or something for shade."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a slight smile. As expected of someone from a wealthy family, they are indeed different. This kind of activity that cultivates the mind and refines the character isn’t something one or two statements can make family members understand.

Moreover, personal preferences differ, and you can’t force everyone. Luckily, it’s not necessary for everyone to fish; it’s enough if the guests fish.

So Xiaoxiao said, "If you don’t like fishing, then don’t. Instead, go learn how to grill fish."

Everyone left, leaving only Xiaoxiao there to fish. In fact, she was using the time to think about the Angling Garden.

Li Fugui’s words reminded her that this Angling Garden probably couldn’t open so soon.

There is just too much to prepare.

Having fishing rods is not enough; we also need to prepare small stools and fish buckets!

In the summer, we really need to prepare sun umbrellas. It would be best to have some tables and chairs later, so people can have tea while resting.

This area is too open; it’s best to plant willow trees around, but they need a few years to grow, so it can only be like this for now.

Also, the entrance to the garden and the dining and fish preparation area should be far from the pond, to avoid guests having fun chatting and affecting those fishing by the pond.

Once you start thinking about these issues, there are quite a lot. We probably need to control the number of people entering the garden; too many will affect everyone’s fishing experience.

We also need to hire staff, to manage the entrance, hand out fishing rods, serve dishes, etc. Most importantly, they need to know how to swim and be trained in first aid in case of accidents.

Oh my, thinking about all this, Xiaoxiao’s head hurt. Why did she give herself such a big challenge? It would be so much easier to just wholesale the fish out. She really had nothing better to do.

But now that things have reached this point, she can’t just abandon it; she can only brace herself and go for it.

Fortunately, there is no Angling Garden in this area yet, so she is the first one. Even if it’s done poorly, nobody will know.

At least she should first get everything she can manage done.

While Xiaoxiao was busy with these matters, the family followed Li Fugui to learn how to make grilled fish. After mastering grilled fish, Li Fugui prepared sauces with different flavors, giving the grilled fish various tastes.

Since the family wasn’t professional chefs, they couldn’t learn it immediately. It took Li Fugui quite some effort and ten days for the family to gradually find the knack for it, finally managing it independently.

Only then did Li Fugui leave Yang Village. By then, he had stayed there for a good twenty days.

And as for Xiaoxiao, due to having so many things to prepare, she wasn’t in a rush to open the Angling Garden. There was also the matter of promoting the Angling Garden, so it was temporarily set to open on April 1st, which is a great day in the prime of spring, perfectly suitable.

That evening, Xiaoxiao sat in front of the table, writing and drawing, and when Yang Ming saw it, he could tell his wife was researching something again.

So he walked over, standing behind her, craning his neck to see what she was doing.

Xiaoxiao was so focused on her drawing that she didn’t notice Yang Ming.

Yang Ming just quietly watched, seeing the squares and rectangles his wife drew, with words like bedroom, kitchen, and yard gate written on them.

Suddenly, Yang Ming realized that his wife was drawing house plans. Was she planning to build a house?
