Chapter 160: The Growing Tingting Xie
Xie Tingting immediately said to Aunt Xue and Xie Huan, "How about the three of us team up? Xie Huan, the two of us will catch them, and ask Aunt Xue to help us watch over them. When the time comes, we can split the money evenly among the three of us."
Xie Huan didn't want to have anything to do with her, so he shook his head and said, "Let's each take care of our own business!"
"Tsk, never mind!" After asking around, Tiffany Xie found no one was willing to partner with her.
"I'll catch it myself!" she was unconvinced.
The prisoners didn't even have a basin to catch fish. Last night, Xie Yanyan told them that they could catch the fish and keep them for themselves, so they were all trying to find a way.
Some went outside to find a few old clay pots, and most people twisted some straw ropes to tie the fish's mouth and carry it.
Tingting Xie had no basin and could not find a clay pot. She was afraid that the fish she had caught with great effort would be snatched away if no one was watching over it, so she used a pair of torn trousers to tie up the trouser legs and tied the other end around her waist.
Everyone rushed out of the city gate and went to the moat to catch fish.
There were indeed a lot of fish, and the silt in the river was not very deep. Tiffany Xie stuffed the fish she caught into her knotted trouser legs and quickly caught several.
She was fishing everywhere, completely losing her ladylike image, with her head and face covered in mud and fish scales, but she caught the most fish.
Tang Zhan's wound healed, but Tang Xiaolin refused to let him go into the water, so he poked him with a wooden stick.
Li Rong and his men did not go down to the river to fish. Instead, they supervised the fugitives along the river bank, preventing them from fighting or escaping.
The three brothers of the Xie family were all fishing. Xie Ning and Xie Yong went into the water to catch fish, while Xie Lingyu was in charge.
Xie Yanyan was holding an umbrella and walking slowly along the river bank, her face still cold and gloomy.
"Yan'er, you gave them these fish on purpose, right?"
"Um."
“But they may not be grateful.”
"I didn't before, but I do now."
Xie Anfeng was carrying a backpack and holding an umbrella as he walked with Xie Yanyan. When they saw Tang Xiaolin and his grandchildren, Xie Yanyan asked Xie Anfeng to give the scoop net in his hand to Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan held the scoop net and whispered, "Thank you, Miss."
Xie Yanyan did not stop and continued to move forward with Xie Anfeng.
When she saw Tiffany Hsieh catching fish without caring about her image, she still didn't even glance at them.
Xie Qingmu and Fang were both standing on the shore fishing, but even in a half-foot deep water, fish were not easy to catch. If they didn't go into the water, they wouldn't be able to catch a single fish on the shore.
Xie Qingmu saw the cold and indifferent Xie Yanyan, and also saw Xie Anfeng holding several simple scoop nets in his hands, but he did not ask to borrow them.
Because they know they can’t borrow it!
Everyone was fishing from the hour of Mao to the hour of Si, and the people of Yongxing City were watching.
Why is it that only these outsiders can catch the fish in the moat?
At noon, Li Rong called everyone back to the inn. Everyone caught a lot of fish. Even the worst ones, such as Xie Qingmu and Fang, caught one.
Tiffany Hsieh caught the most. Her two trouser legs were filled to the brim. When she poured them out, there were more than 50 pieces of food, big and small.
Li Rong said, "You can set up a stall nearby and sell the food, eat it yourself, or find someone to trade it with. It's all fine. Just stay in our sight."
He borrowed a stove from the inn and even paid for some oil and salt so that everyone could cook their own food.
Most people went directly to the breakfast shop to exchange for steamed buns, dumplings and pancakes, and only a few people cooked them on the stove.
Xie Tingting exchanged for ten steamed buns, and she carried the rest of the fish to Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan looked at the fish in his trouser leg and waited for her next words.
"I know you gave us these fish for free, but don't expect me to thank you!" Xie Tingting still said something unkind, "I can't finish all these fish, so I'll sell them to you. Do you want to buy them?"
"How do you want to sell it?"
"The big one is 2 cents, the small one is 1 cent, and the smallest one is free. How about it?"
Tiffany Xie poured out all the fish from her trouser legs. The largest one weighed three or four kilograms, while the smallest one was only as big as a finger.
"How much is it in total?"
"I've counted 42 of them, big and small. Can you give me 50 coins?"
"You can sell it to someone else and the price will be higher."
"I can't keep too much money." Xie Tingting smiled. She was still very beautiful. The most beautiful woman in Kyoto was more real than the most talented woman in Kyoto.
[I would rather give Xie Yanyan away for free than give Xie Qingmu a bargain. You bastard who sells his children, his wives and his concubines, go eat shit.]
Xie Yanyan:
"Okay, you can stay." Xie Yanyan said to Xie Yong, "Give her the money."
Xie Yong gave 50 yuan to Xie Tingting, picked up all the fish and put them in a basin of water. The fish had been out of the basin for too long and had all died.
Even if you die, the 50 coins are the same as if they were given for free.
Tiffany Xie took the 50 yuan and went back to the bunk bed without looking back.
Tang Zhan gave the biggest fish he had caught to Xie Yanyan. Looking at the pile of fish Xie Tingting had given her, he went back and exchanged all the fish he had caught for food.
Xie Yanyan said to Xie Ning, "Brother, take out the small fish to make fish soup for sister-in-law, and kill the big fish. We will make pickled fish today."
They definitely couldn't set off today. When Li Rong heard that Xie Yanyan was going to make pickled fish, he was eager to get started and brought Liu Mingjie and Zhu Ba to help clean the fish.
When Xie Yanyan is cooking, if someone asks her where the seasoning comes from, she either won't answer or will just glance at you and say, "I don't know either."
So no one asks, it’s good enough to have something to eat, why talk so much!
She is only responsible for the marinade, and everyone else does the rest.
The meal was not served until 3 p.m., but the fragrance had already filled the entire inn.
Because the big fish given by Tang Zhan and the pile of fish given by Tiffany Xie were all dead fish, we cooked them all, adding black bean sprouts, thousand sheets, bean curd sheets, and enoki mushrooms, filling two large pots.
After the water receded, people from nearby areas began to go into the city early in the morning to sell vegetables and fruits. White peaches were the most common fruit on the street. Xie Ning bought two large baskets of white peaches.
She took out a hand-made juicer, cut the white peaches into slices, and Li Rong and the others came to help squeeze the juice. She also put a lot of ice cubes in the juice. The fruity juice, paired with hot pickled fish, was worth even a prince.
Four tables were occupied in the lobby dining room, with a large basin on each table. Xie Anfeng's family, all the escorts, Tang Zhan's family, Su Moqing's family, and Xie Tingting were also called over.
Tiffany Hsieh did not act weird this time. She ate fish, rice and drank iced juice obediently.
***
There was joy all over Yongxing City, but Murong Cong and his gang, who disappeared inexplicably yesterday, were now completely confused.
After they announced the decree, Tang Zhan refused to accept it.
King Xi said that if Tang Zhan did not obey his order, he would be killed directly and no one should be left alive.
But a strange gust of wind blew them all into this strange place.
I don't know where this is. There is yellow sand everywhere. My feet are so hot during the day that I can't even stand, and I'm freezing cold at night.
I didn't know where to go. I looked far away, but I couldn't see anyone, not even a dog.
"Master, I am going to die here!"
Murong Cong cried so hard that his tears and snot were running. They had no money, no car or horse, and they didn't know where to go. Aren't they just dead dogs?
