Chapter 75 Water Spacetime Fishing
Su Tai got closer and saw that they were three palm-sized fish. She quickly declined, "Uncle, you can just take them back. You don't have to give them to us."
Xu insisted that Su Tai accept it, "I borrowed your boat for so many days, which made Chen Yi unable to go out. I feel ashamed to give you three fish! If I didn't have a lot of work to do right now, I would definitely go to the town to cut pork for you!
The fish in the Daxun River are very good! We have been fishing for rocks and put a lot of fish in the fish baskets, but we only caught three of them. You can make do with them and don’t be polite to us.”
Xu had said so much, Su Tai could only accept it, "Uncle and Aunt, wait a minute, I'll go get you something."
When Chen Zhuang and his wife saw the cotton jacket, they both became upset.
"Why are you still making clothes for us? Just keep them for yourselves!" Xu said she didn't want anything.
Su Tai put the package directly into their backpacks, "Uncle and Aunt, this is specially made for you. Shen Yi and I can't wear it."
"Then give it to your parents!" Chen Zhuang said hurriedly.
Su Tai smiled even more happily, "My parents have some too. This is specially prepared for you two. It is a little filial piety from us two. Uncle and Aunt, go back and try it on. If it doesn't fit, I will modify it."
"You made it yourself, so it must fit you well!" Xu smiled from ear to ear and kept praising Su Tai and Shen Yi.
After seeing off the Chen Zhuang family, Su Tai ran into the kitchen and stared at the three fish for a long time.
Shen Yi came back and saw the fish, his eyebrows raised, "Second uncle gave it to you?"
Su Tai nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Second Aunt said that their family had been fishing for several days, but they only caught three tiny fish. It's really funny."
"That's not funny at all." Chen Yi came over, squatted beside Su Tai and explained seriously, "The Daxun River is wide and big, and the fish in it are very wild. The big ones are very big, and the small ones are very small. Normally, the big ones cannot be caught, and the small ones are not enough to fill the gaps in your teeth, and it is very troublesome. Therefore, no one here makes a living by fishing. As far as I know, there is no one in your village either."
Su Tai thought about it carefully, and it was exactly the same as what Shen Yi said, "Why is that? The water in the Pebble River is not flowing fast, so there should be a lot of big fish."
Chen Yi was amused by her bewildered look and shook his head, saying, "Most of the river water here comes from the melting of icebergs and snow, so it can't raise any big fish. In addition, the winter is long, the fish grow slowly, and fishing is life-threatening. It's a thankless job. Unless you are really poor and can't even afford to eat, few people are willing to do it. In fact, many poor people will take the risk of breaking ice to fish in the winter. If they can catch a fish this size, they can sell it for about fifty coins."
"So valuable?" Su Tai's eyes lit up.
She hadn't been to the water plane for a long time since the drought. There was a big lake there, but she didn't know if there were any fish. Could she fish for free?
Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, took Shen Yi’s hand and said excitedly: “I’ll go back to the room first, don’t call me.”
Shen Yi didn't understand, and looked at her back and asked, "Are you still killing the fish?"
"No!" All that was left for Shen Yi was a string of echoes.
Su Tai ran back to the house in one breath, and immediately entered the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station. She checked the medium tool vending machine and actually found the medium fishing net, which cost one hundred virtual coins. She could still afford this amount of money.
I bought one right away and happily entered the water space-time.
When she got to the lake, she was in trouble again. How could she cast the net without a boat? And she didn't know how to cast a net.
She had no choice but to return to the kitchen and ask Chen Yi to help her get some bait for fishing.
Chen Yi knew what she wanted to do as soon as he heard it. He was a little hesitant, but seeing Su Tai kept urging him, he had no choice but to help her. He kept repeating the precautions of fishing, fearing that Su Tai would not catch any fish and would fall into the water to feed the fish.
Su Tai listened very carefully and asked many questions. Only after she reassured Shen Yi did she leave with a large bag of bait.
After entering the transit station, she rented a medium fishing boat and started her own fishing business.
Everything in the water space-time was quiet, not even the lake had a ripple. This situation made her nervous, so she had no choice but to try.
Half an hour after she threw the bait, she started to cast the net. It was her first time and she had no experience. She almost threw herself into the water. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
After a flurry of activity, the fishing net finally entered the water successfully, and all that was left was to wait.
After being busy for so long, she was tired. The boat was motionless on the lake, so she lay down. She wanted to take a nap, but she fell asleep unexpectedly.
When she opened her eyes again, it was still daytime in the water space-time. She didn't know how much time had passed.
She quickly sat down to collect the net.
This time it was just an attempt, she would accept it whether she could catch fish or not. She was originally prepared for nothing, but she didn't expect that when she got to the back, she actually caught two carp weighing three or four kilograms.
Su Tai was ecstatic and hurriedly sped up her fishing net. When the entire fishing net came out of the water, her catch for the day was also revealed.
Two big carps and three palm-sized crucian carps, weighing about seven or eight taels.
It’s a great harvest.
When she opened the door with the bucket, Shen Yi suddenly rushed over and hugged her tightly, "Why did it take so long? You scared me to death!"
Su Tai saw the dark yard and felt guilty. She lifted the bucket in a flattering manner and said, "Look, I caught quite a few fish. Isn't that great?"
Shen Yi only took a glance and praised: "Very impressive, don't go for so long next time, I'm worried that something might happen to you."
She quickly got into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and assured him again and again: "I will be fully prepared next time and I will definitely not do that. Don't worry."
After comforting Shen Yi, the couple immediately carried the fish to the kitchen.
Seeing Chen Yi killing the fish skillfully, Su Tai had already begun to imagine her own boiled fish and pickled fish. Unfortunately, carp and crucian carp were more suitable for braising and stewing, and in the end she was unable to make boiled fish and pickled fish.
Shen Yi left two carps in the bucket and killed the remaining three crucian carps.
Put enough oil in the pan, heat the pan, add the crucian carp, fry until both sides are golden brown, then pour in boiling water and simmer. When it is almost done, add the vegetables and salt. It will be delicious enough.
In order to remove the fishy smell, Su Tai went to the vegetable store and bought a bag of ginger, garlic, onions, and baby cabbage.
With the addition of these things, the fish soup was extremely delicious, and Shen Yi took a small sip and his eyes lit up.
Su Tai filled a small pot with fish and asked Chen Yi to send it to Second Aunt's house. There was only one fish, but it had many side dishes and was especially delicious. It was enough for a family of four.
When Xu got the fish soup, she immediately grabbed ten eggs and asked Shen Yi to take them back.
After Chen Yi came back, Su Tai brought the fish soup to the table, paired with fragrant pancakes and a plate of stir-fried vegetables, which was enough for the two of them to have a delicious meal.
After dinner, Su Tai began to plan the next steps.
