Chapter 54. Learning to cook & medicine for fish

You Zhu stuck out her tongue with a guilty conscience. She put down the basket and went to take a bath with her two elder sisters. Only after Mrs. Su sent the three daughters away did she notice that the smallest fish they brought back were three or four jins. The big ones were at least seven or eight jins!

It seem the effect of the medicine had passed. At the sight of the big fishes crowded in the big wooden basin prepared by Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su couldn't help muttering to herself, "These fishes are too big!"

You Jin, who came out of the bath, saw the surprised look on Mrs. Su's face and grinned: "Mother, there are still many more of these big fishes in the settling puddle. I was thinking if I can go to the village someday and find someone with a small boat. Then we borrow it and bag a good chunk of the big fishes in the settling puddle!"

Today, You Jin sisters caught two dozen or so fishes back. Which was less than one-fifth of the amount in the settling puddle. Naturally the idea of using a boat for the next batch came to You Jin. Think of all those fishes' white belly overturned under the moonlight. That was all money!
