Chapter 72 No, This is a Piranha
"Okay, let's go back."
Shen Que was holding a bucket, which looked quite full.
"Um."
Meng Ci no longer had the same interest as when he came here. Looking at these fish was like seeing a flood or a beast.
Shen Que lifted the bucket onto the speedboat, not understanding what was happening to Meng Ci.
Could it be that the temperament of teenagers is really unpredictable?
But Shen Que thought back to when he was eighteen, and he hadn't changed so much.
When Shen Que saw that there were only three fish at the tail of the speedboat, he wondered if Meng Ci was angry because he didn't catch more fish?
So while turning the speedboat around, he praised her sincerely and stiffly, "You are quite good. You can catch fish even when you are on the boat."
Meng Ci didn't like the compliment and even wanted to soak his hands in disinfectant.
His hand touched the fish, the man-eating fish!
On the way, Meng Ci saw the fish in the bucket and suggested, "We can share some with the teachers when we get back."
There are still a lot of fish in my space, but they are all frozen.
At that time, I have to find a way to take the remaining fish and exchange them for the fish in the space.
As for the teachers, I'm sorry.
If you mind eating these fish, just throw them away secretly.
Besides, these fish may not have eaten human flesh.
After returning to the 17th floor, Meng Ci took the initiative to pick half of the fish and gave them to Yun Jingcen and the others.
He received a small piece of bacon from Yun Jingcen in return.
"We spent a lot of money to buy this bacon during the heavy rain. We can't waste it," Yun Jingcen instructed.
Meng Ci nodded and promised that it would not be wasted.
There is no bacon in Meng Ci’s space, so you can use it to make bacon rice.
Then, after Yun Jingcen asked them where they caught the fish, Meng Ci told him the location.
So Yun Jingcen and a few others drove out in a speedboat and quickly came back with two buckets of fish.
Yun Jingcen generously handed one of the buckets of fish to Meng Ci.
Whenever Meng Ci thought about the possibility that these fish had eaten human flesh, he would flatly refuse.
And they said that if they wanted to eat, they would catch it themselves later.
Seeing Meng Ci’s refusal, Yun Jingcen stopped insisting.
I thought that Mao Xinyu taught biology, and her textbook taught how to make fermented tofu and pickled radish, so maybe she could also pickle fish.
When the time comes, I will process these fish and give some to Meng Ci and the others.
This way, it can be stored longer.
After Meng Ci returned, he did not sink the fish in the bucket directly.
"I'll take these fish back, process them, and give you half.
"Don't let the fish stay out of the water for too long and spoil so it can't be eaten."
If he really gets together with Shen Que in the future, Meng Ci feels that he can’t kiss Shen Que as long as he thinks of Shen Que’s mouth eating these piranhas.
So I took it back myself, exchanged it for the fish in the space, and then gave it to Chen Que.
It just so happens that the fish we caught today were some common fish such as sea bass and crucian carp.
Meng Ci's space was also filled with these types of things, so even if they were changed, Shen Que wouldn't be able to tell.
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
Shen Que did not hesitate and said that he would come to help Meng Ci after changing his clothes.
Meng Ci refused outright and made a far-fetched explanation under Shen Que's puzzled look.
"It's raining now and I have nothing to do. It's just right for me to slowly process the fish. It can keep me busy and I won't feel bored."
"If you help and take care of it quickly, then I won't have anything to do in the future."
After hearing this, Shen Que didn't understand but showed respect and didn't insist on helping him.
Seeing that Shen was convinced, Meng Ci praised his own wit.
Then he suggested making braised fish for lunch and asked Shen Que to come over.
Shen Que nodded in agreement.
Everyone went back to their own homes. Meng Ci went into the space to wash his hair, wiped his body casually, changed his clothes, and left the space with a thawed fish in his hand.
Mengci had previously put the fish directly into the space from someone else's cold storage, and the things in the space were in a static state.
That is, it will remain the same as when you put it in.
Therefore, even after so much time, the fish is still frozen.
However, when Meng Ci entered the space, he took out the fish in his hand and put it into the microwave in the kitchen of the space to thaw.
While Chen Que was not there, Meng Ci scraped the scales off the fish, opened the belly to take out the internal organs, removed the gills, and after washing the fish, he could cook it.
Add oil to the pot, and to prevent it from sticking, Meng Ci sprinkles a little salt.
After putting the fish into the pan, fry both sides until golden brown. Add the onion, ginger and garlic into the pan and stir-fry until fragrant. Pour a bowl of water and the prepared sauce, and simmer for fifteen minutes.
When Shen Que came over after changing his clothes, he smelled the aroma of fish.
"The fish will be ready soon!" Meng Ci moved the fish with a spatula to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
"I'll stir-fry some shredded potatoes and some stir-fried greens later."
"Okay." Shen Que nodded.
After just a quick look at the kitchen, Shen Que turned around and went out.
When he came back, Meng Ci saw what was in Shen Que's hand and said, "Didn't you say that you don't need me to take things anymore? Why are you still taking them?"
Shen Que placed a ten-kilogram bag of rice in his hand on the operating table and explained, “Aren’t you out of rice?”
Meng Ci said: "I have rice!"
Then he opened a cabinet, and inside there was a bag of rice that was more than half full.
Shen Que stopped opening the rice bag in the morning and said, "Oh!"
"Does that mean we're going to eat noodles later? It seems I misunderstood."
"I thought you were out of rice, so I didn't steam the rice."
When Meng Ci heard this, he reacted immediately!
MD, I am really stupid.
Just now, Meng Ci only wanted to deal with the fish quickly to avoid being discovered by Chen Que that something was wrong.
I was thinking about how to make the dish delicious so as to capture his heart, and I forgot about making rice.
How shameful.
Meng Ci coughed lightly, "I was originally thinking of eating noodles."
"But if you want to eat rice, then steam the rice."
As he spoke, Meng Ci had already taken out a casserole and put some rice into it.
Shen Que said: “No, if you want to eat noodles, just eat noodles.”
"I am not picky about food."
Meng Ci scooped water from the bucket and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's eat rice."
"Braised fish, it goes well with rice."
"Okay." Shen Que responded.
After the braised fish in the pot was ready, Meng Ci put the pot aside and took another pot to start cooking.
Shen Que volunteered, took off his outer coat, and wanted Meng Ci to teach him how to cook.
Meng Ci nodded.
At the same time, a picture flashed in my mind.
A scene where a little kid is just beginning to learn how to write, and his handwriting is crooked, so his father holds the kid's hand and teaches him how to write.
Then the scene changed, and it became a scene where Shen Que was cooking the dish incorrectly, and Meng Ci was holding his arm and stirring the food from behind.
Meng Ci smiled lightly.
That’s right, it gives the two people more opportunities for close contact.
