"And besides, the Huishui River has never frozen this badly before, so the fish probably can’t handle the cold, unlike the ice fishing grounds in the north..."
Shang Caiwei knew her brother had high ambitions and was very competitive, so she said, "Yeah, it’s really hard to catch fish."
Shang Zhengyu felt better with an excuse. As a naturally gifted person, he hit the right ti for mobile gas and got rich quickly. However, after getting rich, it was harder to find true friends, and no one in society was as sincere as his sister by far.
With a doting look, he said, "Even if I can’t catch fish, I can still buy so for you..."
In the next mont, Xue Yuantong greeted, "Weiwei!"
Both Shang Caiwei and the talkative Shang Zhengyu turned to look, and the next second, Shang Zhengyu was clearly stunned.
The first thought in Shang Zhengyu’s mind was that he must be seeing things wrong, so he instinctively rubbed his eyes and then realized it was indeed a real fish!
’This... is outrageous!’ Shang Zhengyu stared at the giant big bluefish in disbelief.
He spoke up before his sister, "Did you buy this fish?"
’The fish Jiang Ning and I caught = the fish I caught.’ Xue Yuantong clarified the logic.
She said calmly, "I caught this fish. It was so strong that it almost got away after taking the bait, but luckily, I held the rod down in ti."
Shang Zhengyu: "No way, you did this?"
The disbelief was written all over his face.
Xue Yuantong patted the big fish and invited her gaming buddy, "Weiwei, once I cook the fish, you’re welco to co over and eat it. I’ll even arrange a car to pick you up!"
After saying that, Xue Yuantong turned and left.
She recalled their surprised reactions, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
With proud steps, Xue Yuantong started her journey back. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to put on an act any longer, but she was really tired; after all, it was a twenty-pound fish!
She didn’t walk in a straight line, making the journey back particularly long, like the distance from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Sanwei Bookstore.
Because she was small and the big bluefish was too big, soone actually had their eyes on her along the way.
Halfway there, two n in their thirties brazenly blocked her path.
Xue Yuantong imdiately stepped back a few paces.
One of the n, wearing a semi-open down jacket, lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke, "Little girl, where’s your family?"
Xue Yuantong: "They’re not here."
The man with the cigarette smirked, and suddenly, with a scruffy grin on his face, said, "Then why is my fish in your hands?"
A stout, burly man beside him reached out to grab the fish, "Hand it over!"
Before his hand could touch the fish, he suddenly felt a tight grip on his collar, and breathing beca difficult.
The next second, the stout burly man found his feet had left the ground.
The man with the cigarette stared in disbelief at the scene, thinking, crap! Is he a weightlifting champion?
Jiang Ning tossed the stout man aside and looked at the man with the cigarette, saying calmly, "Robbing my sister’s fish in broad daylight, what do you think should happen?"
"Hmm, I’m sure that police officer over there on the ice will definitely have sothing to say about it." Jiang Ning glanced at the patrolling officer on the ice and said lightly.
Only then did the stout man get up from the ground, his face full of fear.
The man with the cigarette wasn’t completely malicious earlier, and with so joking intent, he quickly said, "Hey man, just joking, just joking!"
As he spoke, he realized he might have scared the little girl, quickly took out his wallet, and pulled out two hundred yuan, "Hey man, let’s just say we were joking."
Jiang Ning took the money skillfully.
Xue Yuantong, on the other hand, felt guilty for taking it, as if they were extorting money. She said, "How about this, let take a picture with you guys?"
The man with the cigarette was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thanks a lot!"
...
After taking the picture, everyone was happy.
Now, Jiang Ning was carrying the big bluefish, and Tongtong’s hands were free, allowing her to jump and hop on the ice, "This is great!"
Catching a big fish and getting two hundred yuan, that two hundred could buy a lot of snacks; she couldn’t finish them all even during a whole sumr vacation before!
"Jiang Ning, you know, next ti sothing like this happens, money can settle it." Xue Yuantong told him.
Jiang Ning chuckled, "Don’t worry about it."
Most of the ti, he didn’t have any intent to kill. Over the past year and a half, the few people he had taken action against in the country were either perverts, scumbags, or those with malicious intentions.
For just a minor mistake, he wouldn’t implent a cleanup plan.
"Good, good!" Xue Yuantong was even happier.
The two of them returned to their family tent, receiving a strong welco, with the twins, Bai Yuxia, Lou Keke, and even people from Lin Zida’s side all rushing over to watch.
Zhuang Jianhui was shocked: "You guys caught this?"
Xue Yuantong: "Luck was good."
The bluefish was too big, and the cutting board couldn’t hold it. Naturally, the task of killing the fish couldn’t be given to Tongtong. The big bluefish was a fish king cultivated through the Stabilizing Wave Formation, although it weighed only a little over twenty pounds, its strength was extraordinarily imnse.
Jiang Ning brought the big bluefish a little further from the tent, holding a bone cleaver, staring at the fish, he knocked it unconscious with one blow.
After scraping off the scales, Jiang Ning raised his knife, chopping from the fish’s head to the tail, splitting it cleanly into two halves.
Everyone was startled and instinctively stepped back two steps, Lin Zida secretly clicked his tongue.
Lou Keke and Xu Wenyi were frightened by the bloody scene. The sight of such a huge fish being chopped open was indeed sowhat terrifying.
Only Chen Siyu exclaid, "Wow, Jiang Ning, you’re so cool, even killing a fish is done so stylishly!"
Chen Siqing: "Yes, yes, so aweso!"
The two little fans kept complinting, making the scene sowhat amusing.
Xue Yuantong thought to himself: "Bootlickers!"
Jiang Ning laid the two pieces of bluefish on the cutting board, holding a knife, he aid at the fish’s throat bone and gently dug. A pink, heart-shaped stone was extracted.
Lin Zida said: "Qingyu Stone?"
Qingyu Stone is a stone within the bluefish, it aids in crushing hard foods like snails, is quite rare, and can be worn by children to ward off evil.
Jiang Ning fondled the Qingyu Stone, feeling the abundant Spiritual Power within, he smiled slightly, the essence of the fish king was mostly concentrated here.
He wiped it with a tissue and wrapped it up, putting it in his pocket.
Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense casually swept around, and he indeed noticed Bai Yuxia’s gaze focused on the Qingyu Stone.
Jiang Ning chuckled softly and continued removing the fish’s head and tail, then the fish bone, saying to Tongtong: "Use the fish bone for soup."
"Okay!"
"As for the fish at?" Jiang Ning said: "I have an idea for a special delicacy."
He used a bone cleaver to cut the fish at nicely, then used Spiritual Power to eliminate any fishy sll, bringing it back to the tent.
The previously bustling fish-killing scene imdiately beca deserted.
Zhuang Jianhui asked: "Xiao Pang, are you still fishing?"
Lin Zida replied, feeling lost: "Confused!"
...
Inside the tent, everyone surrounded the stove, brewing tea and eating small fruits.
Jiang Ning sat on a foam mat, using a bone cleaver to scrape the fish at, again and again, his knife skills were superb, each ti scraping a thin, almost transparent slice.
The scraped fish at, after Jiang Ning’s deboning, beca a pile of pure fish at, a big pile of it.
He switched to the knife’s back, quickly chopping the at to make it finer, eventually placing it into a glass bowl.
Xue Yuantong’s spiritual light flashed: "Fish noodles, are you making fish noodles?"
Bai Yuxia: "Fish noodles?"
Xue Yuantong: "Fish noodles are noodles made from fish at."
Chen Siyu: "Sounds so delicious!"
Xue Yuantong anticipated: "Next, it’s ti to stir the fish at, right? I’ll find gloves for you, Jiang Ning!"
Chen Siyu stopped Tongtong, staring at Jiang Ning’s hands: "No need!"
Her fiery gaze seared Jiang Ning’s hands.
Jiang Ning was wiping his hands with a white, damp cloth, ticulously as if wiping a delicate porcelain piece, his fingers were exceptionally attractive, slender and strong, with smooth lines. The slightly larger knuckles also showed a kind of calm elegance and strength.
Chen Siyu’s gaze grew hotter as she stared at his hands, inadvertently clenching her legs tightly.
