Xing shanwa nodded and said, "I also think the price is appropriate. It's only three or four Wen a kilogram. I've always been to the town. Even if the cheapest fish costs six or seven Wen a kilogram, you've given a big discount to the village."
"You boy..."
Xue Changan stretched out his hand to beat Xing shanwa, and began to quote loudly to the people near the lotus pond: "ten Wen for fish over three kilograms, six Wen for fish over two kilograms, and four Wen for fish about one kilogram. If you want to buy fish, you can take something to load it now. There are not many fish in the pond, and I have to leave some for myself."
After Xue Chang'an's words, Xing shanwa also said loudly: "today, a person who bought fish at brother Chang'an's house can go to my house to ask for advice on how to make fish. I learned how to make fish. It tastes good, especially if there are women and children at home. Drinking this soup is the best."
With Xing shanwa's voice, the people who had stood aside to watch the excitement immediately responded.
"Leave me two!"
"I want three!"
"I want one!"
Some didn't count off and went home to get the guy. Others pulled the thatch by the ridge, rubbed the straw rope, and then picked fish by the lotus pond.
The people in the village also consciously picked the fish in their hands and gave them as much as they should.
Bai Wenjing simply put the basket on the bank and threw it in when she touched the fish.
The people who came to buy fish in the village were also more conscious. When they carried the fish, they put the copper plate aside. Bai Wenjing didn't look at it, let alone count it. He just kept fishing in the water.
The people in the village came one after another. Seeing that most of the fish in the basket had been saved and picked up, Bai Wenjing's clothes were soaked with sweat.
When the crowd came, Bai Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and wiped a sweat and said, "it's estimated that all those who should come to buy fish bought them. Unexpectedly, the people in our village still have strong purchasing power. Look at these fish, there's not much left."
Xue Chang'an also looked at several people's back baskets. The fish in the back baskets of several people looked that they didn't add up to more than 20, so he said, "well, I thought there would be a lot of fish left here, but I didn't expect there to be many."
As he was talking, he saw a woman standing on the edge of the lotus pond and saying to them, "old Xue, do you have any fish? Give me ten?"
Hearing what the woman said, Bai Wenjing immediately said, "sorry, elder sister, we don't sell these fish. We keep them for ourselves. If you really want to buy one, I can give you one. There's no more."
The woman looked at the side and seemed to confirm that there were not many fish. Then she said, "that's all right. I'll just try one."
After getting the straw rope, he put the fish through the mouth to the gills and handed it to the woman. He took the copper plate and watched the woman leave. Bai Wenjing said to Xing shanwa, "go get some straw rope, take these fish home and dry them quickly."
"OK, I'll get the straw rope now."
Bai Wenjing has to admit that Xing shanwa is not a particularly bad girl.
Previously, she was angry that Xing shanwa swallowed her family's silver, but now she saw that Xing shanwa was really out of her heart and lungs for their family, so the breath she held in her heart dissipated.
Thinking about it, Bai Wenjing only felt that something on her feet was rowing past her instep. Bai Wenjing looked down and immediately shouted, "snake! Xianggong, there is a snake!"
Bai Wenjing said loudly. She had rushed to Xue Chang'an. Her hands were tightly around Xue Chang'an's neck, and her feet were hanging on Xue Chang'an.
She is quiet and brave, but she is afraid of snakes.
Especially when he saw that dark thing sliding from the instep of his or her feet, his whole body was almost soft.
Xue Chang'an looked down and saw that the dark thing was not a snake. It was clearly a Monopterus albus.
He wanted to explain, but when he saw Bai Wenjing hanging on her, he was too frightened to let her down.
At the moment, he patted Bai Wenjing on the back and said, "I'm not afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of when my husband is here. Why don't you rest on the side and I'll catch the snake for you."
Xue Chang'an thought Bai Wenjing would be afraid, but he nodded and said, "OK, my husband, go and catch the snake. I'll cook you roast snake meat in the evening."
When Bai Wenjing said this, Xue Changan stared at her and asked, "aren't you afraid that your husband won't catch a snake, but was bitten by a snake?"
Hearing this, Bai Wenjing was stunned, and then shook her head and said, "people who are not afraid of tigers are afraid of snakes. My husband will definitely catch snakes, right?"
Xue Chang'an didn't speak, but smiled at her. Then he put Bai Wenjing by the pond, grabbed two handfuls of dry mud by the lotus pond, and then walked towards the "snake".
Seriously, Bai Wenjing is really afraid of snakes.
This thing runs fast, some are poisonous, and looks terrible, so when I saw Xue Changan approaching, my heart still mentioned it to my throat.
However, after Xue Changan approached, he just reached out and grabbed the thing in his hand. Looking at the thing twisted around in Xue Changan's hand, Bai Wenjing was relieved.
At the moment, Xing shanwa also rubbed the straw rope and jumped down. When she saw the thing in Xue Chang'an's hand, she blurted out: "brother Chang'an, it's eel. This is a good thing. The meat of this thing tastes delicious."
“???”
Now it's Bai Wenjing's turn to be stunned. She couldn't help but say, "isn't this a snake? Why is it a eel? But yellow seems to look like this..."
"Cluck, cluck..."
Qiaozhen saw it clearly by the pond. Her brother Chang'an clearly deceived her quiet sister-in-law.
Just now, his sister-in-law Wenjing was afraid of snakes. Let alone her brother Chang'an, even she wanted to tease him.
"Sister-in-law, it's really a eel, not a snake."
After listening to Qiaozhen's words, Bai Wenjing was ashamed and annoyed. She looked at Xue Chang'an and said, "well, you lied to me. You wanted me to make a fool of yourself."
Seeing that Bai Wenjing seemed really angry, Xue Chang'an said, "well, don't be angry, my lady. It's my fault. I shouldn't cheat my lady. Don't be angry, okay?"
Bai Wenjing glared at him and said, "where am I so stingy and angry? Then take a look in the pond to see if there are any eel."
"Sister-in-law, you see, I also touched the loach!"
"Really? And loaches? Let me have a look. Hey, there are really a lot of loaches. Fried loaches are also delicious."
Bai Wenjing got two loaches with this handful. At the moment, he has been thinking about what fried loach tastes like beer.
Bai Wenjing didn't expect that there were so many unexpected harvests in raising fish in the lotus pond. Eel and loach were rare things in the previous world. Bai Wenjing took them all into the basket one by one and was afraid to miss one.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw a black meat worm hanging around Xue Chang'an's ankle. He was immediately shocked and said, "my husband, what do you think is on your ankle?"
