"Quickly, quickly, go get a basin."
Monet urged him on, and Clyde gave an "oh" and turned to run into the house, but Louis had already come running out of the front door with a large basin, shouting as he ran, "The basin's here! The basin's here!"
Even from a considerable distance, Sang Ning could hear his shouts.
Emmanuel and his men followed in a flurry, running around without a care in the world.
The audience was amused and flooded the screen with comments jokingly saying—
My handsome man looks so excited! Seeing him holding that huge basin with such enthusiasm is almost unbearable to watch. If he was an ethereal, otherworldly handsome man before, now Louis is a down-to-earth, approachable one.
[My General Emmanuel is truly awesome. I always thought he was a cool and aloof general, but it turns out... well, let's not even talk about him.]
To be honest, it's not that Emmanuel and the others' characters collapsed quickly; it's just that Sang Ning seems to be toxic. It feels like anyone who spends a lot of time with her starts to go crazy.
[I think you're the one who's abnormal. Anyone with common sense would know you're praising Sang Ning, but someone who doesn't would think you're insulting her. To the person upstairs, I don't know if they're a brother or sister, please go learn the art of language before commenting.]
[I did study it, to be honest. I not only bought a complete set of language arts books, but also books on how to cultivate aesthetics, emotional intelligence, and so on. However, it was all for nothing. Harsh reality tells me I simply don't have the talent for those things. So, please bear with me, just know I'm saying this in a good way.]
Isn't this just like how Da Taozi and the others make disastrous dishes? No matter how Sang Ning teaches them to cook, their hands and brains that give the instructions remain completely disconnected. Is it the same with you, no matter how much you learn, your brain and mouth or hands remain completely disconnected?
That's so true, that's exactly how I am. For example, when I'm chatting with someone, even though I don't actually want to say something, my mouth has already blurted it out.
Then there was an awkward silence.
Many times I'm quite impressed with my own words. I know you'll ask me why I'm still alive and haven't been killed. I can tell you directly, it's because I'm a primitive fighting race from the snowy mountains of the highlands.
audience,"???"
Are you alright?
Are you happy now that you've asked yourself this question?
By snatching their questions and giving them the answers directly, they were left speechless.
Wow, so many crabs and shrimp!
At this moment, Louis had already rushed to Sanning's side with the basin in his hand and put it down as she instructed.
Then, as soon as Sanning opened the lid of the basket, Emmanuel, who arrived a step behind Louis, took the initiative to lift the basket upside down and pour it into the basin.
With a splashing sound, the basket full of seafood fell from the basket into the basin like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Monet was incredibly excited. She picked up a large blue crab and weighed it in her hand. "It must weigh over a pound."
As she spoke, she looked at the swimming crab's belly and said, "Female crab, there's crab roe to eat."
"It feels so much more fun to put the basket in the sea than to go beachcombing. Not only can you catch anything, but there's so much of it! So many crabs and shrimp! My goodness, this shrimp is huge! Ningning, look, this shrimp is so big."
Fimmonloa showed Sang Ning a prawn that was as long as two of her palms, her smile as bright as the sun.
Sang Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"Since you really like this shrimp, you can have it."
Phylloa's eyes lit up instantly. "Really for me?"
"Here you go, here you go, here you go."
Before Sang Ning could speak, Mu Tao and the others had already assigned ownership of the shrimp to Fimonloya.
Then, the group swallowed hard as they stared at the lively shrimp and crabs in the basin and said, "Shrimp and crabs are still the most resilient; fish aren't doing so well."
The fish was indeed not very good.
Unlike lobsters, prawns don't have such large claws, so they can cause limited damage to fish.
But crabs are different; they have large claws and will attack fish.
Therefore, the fish that were lured into the basket by the food not only ended up with octopuses on their bodies, but were also attacked by crabs.
Several incredibly beautiful sea fish that Sang Ning didn't recognize at all had their beautiful tails almost completely severed, and were swollen and congested.
Is this fish edible?
Clyde scooped up a fish with a beautiful, fan-like tail and asked Sang Ning, who shook her head. "I don't know if this fish is edible. I don't recognize it."
"Since you don't recognize it, just throw it away!"
Clyde suggested that eating them was out of the question. What if they ate protected or poisonous fish? They didn't lack food, so there was no need to think about eating everything they saw.
Sang Ning nodded and pointed to the fish she didn't recognize, saying, "Throw all the fish you don't recognize back into the sea that you've never eaten before."
"Okay."
Clyde and his companions deftly picked out the fish, went to the edge of the cliff, raised their hands holding the fish, and then swung their arms with great force. One by one, the brightly colored fish with bloodshot tails flew out like shooting stars and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down into the sea, you can clearly see that all the fish have gone into the sea.
They didn't know whether the fish would survive.
But they've already been given a way out; the rest is not their concern.
Louis was carrying an extra-large wooden basin, the main purpose of which was to hold water. In the absence of a water tank, the only containers for holding water besides wooden buckets were basins.
The basin is deep and large enough to hold a lot of water and seafood.
After all the seafood in the basket was poured out, everyone was surprised to find that the basin was completely full.
Elliott picked up the basin and tested its weight. After subtracting the weight of the basin itself, he gave an affirmative answer: "More than fifty pounds of seafood."
Monet and the others looked at the large basket in surprise, "This thing can actually hold so much seafood?"
Sang Ning remained calm and offered a calm explanation: "The basket is big; any smaller basket wouldn't be able to hold this much."
That's true.
"I'm hungry, shall we start preparing dinner?"
As soon as Monet said this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Sang Ning.
She chuckled softly, "I'll do it when I get back."
"Let's go, let's hurry back and cook."
So, Sang Ning and the others took the crescent bear, which was carrying a bag full of fern leaves on its back, and headed back together.
Over the next few hours, Sanning led Elliott and Clyde in preparing dinner, while Monaine and Philoya helped out by breaking vegetable leaves and such.
As for Emmanuel and his companions, they weren't idle either. After removing the basket from the monkey head mushroom's back and taking out the fern leaves inside, they began working to extract the mucus.
Dinner was plentiful, with white rice as the main dish and side dishes including grilled fish, steamed crab, spicy crab, garlic shrimp balls, boiled shrimp, seafood in dipping sauce, a steamed grouper, stir-fried potato strips, and cold seaweed salad, among others.
