Zhong Wanwan didn't care about Bai Yueyao's little schemes. She followed closely behind her uncle Mai Sui, wanting to learn some real skills from him. She was quite curious about winter fishing!
Uncle Maisui also thought he had encountered a gifted genius, so he taught him with all his heart.
To help Zhong Wanwan master the technique, Uncle Maisui not only personally demonstrated it to her, but also helped her try it out herself.
With one teaching diligently and the other learning attentively, time flew by.
Bai Yueyao was too cold to be angry; she was so frozen she was almost numb!
Luckily, there was a pot of ginger water, otherwise she wouldn't know how long she would have survived until she was caught.
Around noon, everyone was hungry. Brother Wei and Uncle Maisui caught more than a dozen half-sized fish from a spot they had dug, cleaned them on the spot, cut them into pieces, and threw them into a pot to make fish soup.
Fish are quite clean inside in winter, and since they are all wild fish at this time, they don't need much processing. Just add some ginger slices and salt to make a particularly delicious fish soup.
Anyone can drink this soup; Bai Yueyao started drooling as soon as the fish went into the pot.
As soon as the fish soup was ready, she was the first to take out her lunchbox and eagerly said to Brother Wei, who was in charge of serving the soup:
"Give me a lot more, and give me a big piece of fish, the biggest one, I want that one!"
Bai Yueyao pointed to the biggest fish and asked Wei Erge to put it in her lunchbox.
Actually, if she were queuing up for fish soup, it wouldn't be a problem to join her for a sip.
After all, these kids only came to play on the ice and to freeload fish soup.
However, it's too much for you to shamelessly rush to order the first serving and then ask for fish!
Adding water to the fish soup is just a matter of adding a bowl, but the amount of fish is always fixed!
The reason these hunting crews were willing to give the little boy the child was simply because almost everyone on the farm was related to them; they were all their own children.
These men didn't mind if their kids ate one more bite and the adults ate one less bite.
But you, an outsider who just came to join the fun, are already lucky to have any soup to drink. You want to steal the children's meat? That's going too far!
Despite his carefree and irresponsible attitude at work, Wang Erlaizi is young, strong, and quite clever, which is why he's a regular member of the hunting team every year.
Other men were too embarrassed to argue with Bai Yueyao, but Wang Erlaizi didn't care. He was on good terms with the young educated youths and was happy to share with them. How could he possibly share with this female educated youth who had a grudge against him?
She's not his wife, why would she run into his bowl and steal food? What gives her the right?
Wang Erlaizi acted nonchalantly:
"Bai Zhiqing, we just put in some crucian carp that are a dozen days and a half old, that's for these kids. You come up here and give them more, and you want fish and meat too. Don't you want to lose face?"
Bai Yueyao felt her thoughts exposed and her face flushed, but she could never admit that she was wrong.
Originally, this fish belonged to everyone on the farm, and everyone should be able to drink it. She deliberately put it first, so why couldn't she get more? Why couldn't she eat the fish?
Those kids didn't get any because they were playing and didn't line up first, it's not her fault!
Bai Yueyao argued illogically:
"This fish originally belonged to the farm, and everyone on the farm can eat it. I was first on the list, so it's only right that I get the biggest one!"
Wang Erlaizi sneered:
"Oh my god, everyone knows this fish soup is for our hunting team, and the fish meat is for the hunters who do the work!"
"We're willing to give to farm children because adults love them. Whose child are you?"
"Oh, right, you can't be a child at your age. So who are you, old lady? Stealing our fish?"
Wang Erlaizi's "good buddy" chimed in:
"If any old woman is that greedy, she'd be whipped with a big shoe sole!"
"Competing with the baby for fish and fish soup, you must be in a hurry to produce milk!"
The two rascals, with ill intentions, looked at Bai Yueyao and laughed heartily.
This infuriated Bai Yueyao so much that she would have smashed her lunchbox and left if the fish soup hadn't smelled so delicious!
Bai Yueyao was very unconvinced. She thought to herself, "You said this is the fish from your hunting team? I'll remember that. When we distribute the fish later, I'll make sure this fish is taken from everyone in the hunting team!"
There was no way to argue with Wang Erlaizi. The main problem was that Wang Erlaizi didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, and he wouldn't be afraid of the aunties and grandmas on the farm at all.
But no matter what, Bai Yueyao is still a young comrade, how can she argue with Wang and Lai Zi?
However, it was impossible to stop her from eating fish and making fish soup. Bai Yueyao pretended not to hear and simply handed the lunchbox to Wei Erge's nose.
Brother Wei scratched his head, not wanting to refuse her, so he reluctantly accepted the call.
Fish meat is impossible to kill, but fish soup is a different story.
Just as a spoonful of soup was about to be placed into Bai Yueyao's lunchbox, Zhong Qian Deng Wanwan said online:
"Second Brother Wei, don't make fish soup for Bai Zhiqing! Bai Zhiqing has never eaten fish since he was a child, and he dislikes the fishy smell!"
"This fish soup without any oil or fat will only taste fishier! Get Bai Zhiqing away from here!"
"Isn't that ginger water over there? Bai Zhiqing, nobody else is drinking this, so you should drink it too. Don't be so polite!"
Wei Erge readily handed the lunchbox to Bai Yueyao, and then gave her the remaining half-bucket of ginger water, saying:
"Bai Zhiqing, everyone drink the fish soup, but you can have all the ginger water!"
Bai Yueyao jumped up and down in anger:
"Zhong Wanwan, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?!"
Zhong Wanwan said with an innocent look:
"Bai Zhiqing, what are you saying? Last time I ran into you at the state-run restaurant, Xia Ning ordered the tomato fish, wasn't that what you said then?"
"You said fish is too fishy and you can't stand the smell, and you told Xia Ning to consider other people's feelings and not just eat whatever she wants!"
"Even the fish in tomato sauce is fishy, so this fish soup is even fishier. Don't tell me you don't mind the fishiness now and can drink it?"
"If that's the case, then all these years you've been targeting Xia Ning, deliberately making things difficult for her?"
