Feng Yun and Feng were intrigued by the story, but the third brother was only concerned with:
"Little sister, is the ribbonfish delicious?"
Ruan Meng nodded, "Freshly braised, conservatively speaking..."
"Third brother, you should eat at least three bowls of rice."
What are we waiting for!
The second brother held up the oil lamp, and the third brother was originally going to go into the water, but the Feng family's raft was not big, and the Feng brothers were better swimmers, so they rushed to go into the water instead.
As the bamboo raft glided past, the ribbonfish were still floating several feet below. Feng Xi fished, while Feng Yun went into the water and set up the fishing net around the perimeter.
The ribbonfish quickly took the bait and struggled violently. Even though it was dark, Feng Yun and Feng Xi could smell a fishy odor thanks to their keen sense of smell.
They stopped on the bamboo raft, letting the ribbonfish struggle, and observed the surrounding movements.
Sure enough, within fifteen minutes, a school of fish approached the injured ribbonfish underwater.
A remarkable phenomenon has occurred!
Feng Yun and Feng Xi were surprised to see a long line of shimmering silver light underwater.
Worried about scaring away the fish, Feng Yun looked at Ruan Meng on the shore. Upon receiving Ruan Meng's gesture, he immediately pulled in the net, and the ribbonfish thrashed violently, creating a splash.
This ribbonfish is ominous!
Once ashore, after untying the net, the ribbonfish were still chained together, each trying to ambush the others. Unexpectedly, they were all caught in one fell swoop! (Image from the internet) Feng Yun exclaimed, "Thanks to my little sister! Who would have thought that a fishing rod and a net could catch so many ribbonfish so quickly!"
Sun Mu'en, inside the carriage, was quite surprised to see all this.
Seeing the beautiful light on the ribbonfish was quite novel to me.
Feng Yun was worried about the ribbonfish, so he bit them to pieces, took the fish off, and put it into the Ruan family's wooden basin.
Ruan Meng didn't stand on ceremony and poured out half of it, letting Feng Yun take the other half.
"Brother Feng, you can string together a rope and hang the ribbonfish up. If you're worried about them not holding, you can make them into salted fish and hang them up; their surface will look like swords, which will be very beautiful!" (Image from the internet) Feng Yun accepted the suggestion with satisfaction and was about to ask Ruan Meng how to make them when Ruan Meng said:
"Brother Feng, is Ah Chun free tomorrow? I'd like to teach her how to cook ribbonfish, so she can help you while you're at home."
Feng Yun nodded gratefully. The third brother also caught a lot of flying fish and shrimp, and shared half of them with the Feng brothers before returning home with a full load.
Thinking of giving Jiqing and the Xinglintang staff some food in return, Ruan Meng reminded her two brothers to go and catch some jellyfish together the next morning, and reminded them to be careful.
No sooner had he finished speaking than villagers came running toward them from a short distance away.
"Help! Miss Ruan, help!"
The woman, carrying her child on her back, cried out.
Ruan Meng ran up and asked her second brother to raise the oil lamp higher.
The child was laid flat on the ground, his lips were slightly bluish, and he was foaming at the mouth.
After examining the woman's pulse, Ruan Meng learned through questioning that the mother and child had eaten cooked seafood, and the child had vomited and fallen into a coma.
Ruan Meng took immediate action, making the child vomit up the fish he had eaten. Without being reminded, her second brother had already brought clean water.
After repeatedly administering the medicine to the child and cleaning his stomach and intestines, Ruan Meng used acupuncture to protect the child's internal organs.
Ruan Meng asked her third brother to invite Du Xiaocan over, gave him the prescription, and Du Xiaocan ran back to the clinic to get the medicine.
The child ate very little, vomited up fish, and then regained consciousness.
Ruan Meng asked the woman, "Don't you know that this fish might be poisonous?"
The villagers are cautious about eating fish, especially since there are many familiar fish and shellfish in the sea, so there's no need to take the risk.
The woman's shouting and running had alerted many villagers, who rushed over.
Hearing Ruan Meng ask, he also asked the woman:
"Yes! What kind of fish did you eat?"
Although the woman's name was unknown, Ruan Meng asked her to describe her appearance, and Ruan Meng made a preliminary judgment.
"Grouper." (Image of grouper from the internet) A villager asked, "Are groupers poisonous?"
Ruan Meng shook her head. "Grouper is not poisonous by nature, but it eats small fish and shrimp, and the seaweed that small fish and shrimp eat accumulates toxins."
"Therefore, the elderly and children, who are physically weak, are prone to poisoning after eating grouper, while adults with good health may be fine."
The villagers suddenly realized why they had heard the woman's description and wondered how they had eaten the food before without any problems.
Hearing this, I was shocked. Luckily, I hadn't given it to the elderly or children before!
Ruan Meng looked up and saw Sun Mu'en deep in thought, and couldn't help but smile.
Du Xiaocan quickly grabbed the medicine packet and handed it to the woman.
The lady hurriedly took out her money; she had previously earned some money from digging for oysters and catching seafood to sell to the He family restaurant.
Ruan Meng quickly stopped her, "If you really want to give me something, sister-in-law, then give me some small fish when you have time! I really need some, it's a pity I didn't catch any today!"
The woman saw that there were no small fish in the wooden bucket and basin next to the third son's feet, and then she believed it.
But small, worthless fish are worthless, how could she possibly...?
The second brother stepped forward to advise, "Sister-in-law, when the village chief agreed to let us build houses, wasn't it so that we could build a clinic to treat everyone?"
"My sister didn't stand on ceremony with her sister-in-law, so please don't take it to heart, Auntie. We'll have plenty of time in the future!"
As the villagers gradually became familiar with the Ruan family, they learned that they were generous and kind to the villagers, so they persuaded the woman to go back with them.
Ruan Meng walked to the carriage and asked Sun Mu'en:
"Now, Miss Mu'en, do you understand why I wanted to draw the sea fish?"
Sun Mu'en nodded vigorously, his eyes shining.
