Chapter 42 World 2 [12]
After hearing Jing Ke's words, Shao Qing slowly put away the faint smile on his face, and his eyes were no longer fixed on the buoy, but looking at the sea.
Don't compare yourself to trash? If Xu Yin is trash in Jing Ke's eyes, then everything Jing Ke did before was really involuntary? Did she abandon her dark ways and join the light?
"Jing Ke, you are the first one to give me a nice guy card." Shao Qing's tone fluctuated a little, but soon returned to being nonchalant.
"But I have nothing to do with being virtuous. I simply did what I wanted to do. There's no need to flatter me."
"By the way, have Teacher Yu and Teacher Li found the supply box? Did they get anything good out of it?" Shao Qing changed the subject without waiting for Jing Ke to answer.
Li Liming has found the supply box. When he opened it, he found a small box of soda crackers. Each pack was 100g, four packs in total, enough for two breakfasts.
Yu Hongjun just found your corresponding supply box and is currently unpacking it.
What came out was a small box of small cakes, also containing ten small packages. Each package weighed about 40g. She was very lucky.
If there are ten packs of small cakes, you can get five packs for yourself, which is enough to solve breakfast for two days.
[The float is moving, another fish has taken the bait.] Jing Ke reminded.
Shao Qing concentrated his attention and after skillfully reeling in the fish for two minutes, he brought it up with a single pull.
This time, the fish that took the bait was not the valuable wild yellow croaker, but a common sea bream. It was not very big, but weighed more than one kilogram.
Considering that yellow croaker is not suitable for direct roasting over fire, Shao Qing stretched his body for a while and then continued to stand and fish, preparing to catch a few more to try the taste of sea bream.
The hook rate is three or four times higher than that of ordinary people, which is still very impressive. Although he caught a small fish like Shi Jiugong in the middle, when he put away the rod at 11:30, Shao Qing's supply box was full.
The ones that sank to the bottom were the shellfish that were put in yesterday to spit out the sand, and the ones that swam around were a yellow croaker, two sea breams and a sea bass that she had caught.
As for the palm-sized Shi Jiugong, Shao Qing kindly released them and sent them back to the sea.
The yellow croaker was kept to make fish soup in the evening, and the other three were grilled like yesterday. One was eaten by himself, one was given to Teacher Yu as a reward, and the remaining one was naturally contributed to win people's hearts and to annoy Xu Yin who couldn't catch any fish.
After making plans for the future of each fish in his mind, Shao Qing started heading towards the camp with the supply box.
The supply box containing four fish and half a box was a bit heavy. After carrying it for a while, Shao Qing started to carry it in his arms.
They stopped to rest for a while before successfully arriving at the four-person camp. He handed the fish to Yu Hongjun with a smile and sat aside waiting to eat the delicious grilled fish.

Compared with Shao Qing and the other two who were preparing lunch, the fishing trio on Xu Yin's side looked a little miserable.
It wasn't until exactly 12 o'clock that the three of them managed to catch a fish. Xu Yin finally hooked one, which was a contribution despite not having a clean slate.
This result made Zheng Xingxing, who didn't want to do hard work and therefore persuaded Liu Chang to come fishing with him, feel a little regretful. If he had known that fishing was so difficult, he might as well have gritted his teeth and cut down ten trees that met the requirements.
At least chopping down trees can give you clues to a supply point. Even if it only gives you a small bag of rice, that's fine. Eating white rice can fill you up for several meals!
Zheng Xingxing complained silently in his heart, because it was he who persuaded Liu Chang to come fishing together, and he was embarrassed to complain at this time and slap himself in the face.
He could only give the three fish he caught to Liu Chang, and pray silently in his heart that Liu Chang could draw a big fish so that he would not go hungry until the evening.
Liu Chang's expression was not very good, but he did not frown. He even asked Zheng Xingxing and Xu Yin for their opinions when choosing the number.
"If I had to choose, I would choose 6. This number sounds more auspicious," said Zheng Xingxing.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "I'd probably choose 8."
When Liu Chang heard that Xu Yin wanted to choose 8, he immediately gave up his original intention to choose 8 and reported another number without much thought.
"I choose number six. I want the sixth box of fish." Liu Chang said.
Xu Yin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He said number 8 and Liu Chang chose number 6 right after. Was he excluding his answer as a wrong one?
"Congratulations, Teacher Liu, this fish is yours." The staff quickly removed the black cloth blocking the front, revealing a sea bass weighing a little over one kilogram in the glass tank.
A fish of this size, after removing the inedible parts and internal organs, would probably only have half of its weight left, which is barely enough to fill one person's stomach.
After noticing that the production team hadn't proactively disclosed the contents of the other tanks, Xu Yin couldn't help but say, "Teacher Liu, this fish seems a little small. I remember the largest fish was a black sea bream weighing over two kilograms. It's such a shame we didn't choose that one."
Xu Yin's tone didn't sound blaming, but there was clearly something else hidden in his words.
Liu Chang curled his lips. He was not a fool and he could hear Xu Yin's secret dissatisfaction and blame.
But Liu Chang was not someone who could remain calm at all times. When he heard Xu Yin's words, they were almost the same as when Shao Qing questioned the problem with his choice of camping spot.
So Liu Chang, who chose to be stubborn at the time, didn't care whether he would offend anyone or not, and spoke directly according to the character setting he had arranged for himself.
"Now that I've made my choice, could you please show us what's in the other tanks?" Liu Chang looked at the production crew. "They didn't secretly replace the biggest fish, did they? That one's a black sea bream weighing over two kilograms."
After hearing Liu Chang's request, the staff who knew what kind of fish was in tank No. 8 were a little hesitant.
"Teacher Liu, please rest assured about this. The audience in the live broadcast room can see what kind of fish is in each box. We can't do that." The staff tried to dispel Liu Chang's idea.
"The audience in the live broadcast room already knows about it, so there shouldn't be any problem with me satisfying my curiosity, right?" After seeing the staff being hesitant, Liu Chang, who was a little angry for a moment, couldn't help but frown and wanted to see the truth even more.
"Yeah, I'm curious too. I want to see how you sort the fish. You don't sort them by size, from one to ten, right?" Zheng Xingxing interrupted.
After hearing the director's permission in the headset, the staff did not keep the secret and quickly removed the cover one by one starting from box No. 1.
After seeing that the fish in the tank were indeed numbered in order from big to small, the expressions on Liu Chang and the other two's faces were not very good.
But the ugliest one belonged to Xu Yin. Not only was the fish in tank No. 8 much smaller than the one in tank No. 6, it was also the very fish that Xu Yin had caught at the last moment.
A fish called "pedal" by the locals. It is soft all over and doesn't have much meat. After being roasted, it can probably only be used to fill the gaps between your teeth.

"Xu Yin really has no self-awareness. His luck has been so bad recently. Isn't it normal to be eliminated as a wrong option?" Shao Qing sat on a rock, drinking soda while listening to Jing Ke describe the situation of the fishing trio.
[Indeed, so he was a little embarrassed now, so he asked Liu Chang and Zheng Xingxing to return first. He asked for the engineer shovel he had lent to Zheng Xingxing back, apparently planning to go to the beach to dig for some shells so that he wouldn't look like he was returning empty-handed.]
Shao Qing had no comment on Xu Yin's behavior. It was indeed a bit outrageous for three people to eat one fish, and it was understandable that they went to find something else to eat.
But instead of searching aimlessly, Xu Yin might as well ask Liu Chang and his team where they dug up the wild taro yesterday, and then take the engineer shovel to dig up some wild taro.
That thing is difficult to handle and the taste is indeed very ordinary, but it is a solid supply of starch and carbohydrates, so it is definitely enough to fill your stomach.
Shao Qing complained a few words in his mind, but when the aroma of grilled fish wafted out, his attention was quickly drawn away.
"You said you are good at grilling fish. Did you learn it by yourself, or did a chef teach you?" Shao Qing asked.
[Me?] Jing Ke hesitated. [I don't remember, but I do know how to grill fish. I can clearly and completely recite the steps.]
"Huh? You don't remember?" Shao Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. "You lost some of your memory?"
"I shouldn't have lost my memory, and my consciousness hasn't been invaded." Jing Ke said hesitantly, "That must be a very important memory, so important that I kept it separately."
Shao Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly. Is the process of learning to grill fish a very important memory?
According to common sense, if you learn by yourself or with a professional teacher, it shouldn't be considered a very important memory, right?
Could it be that Jing Ke's family taught her how to grill fish? Did Jing Ke not want to forget her family, so she kept the memories related to them separately?
Many thoughts flashed through Shao Qing's mind, and he couldn't help but think of his family.
In Shao Qing's memory, the only person she can call a relative is her grandmother who raised her and supported her in becoming an artist.
Shao Qing's parents passed away in a car accident when she was very young. The driver was a rich man and he paid one million yuan to get a letter of forgiveness.
However, Shao Qing, who lost her parents, did not keep the one million. After various relatives took away money one after another with various reasons, she was left with less than 200,000 yuan.
None of the relatives who received the money wanted to carry an extra burden, so Shao Qing started to depend on his grandmother when he was in elementary school.
The reason why Shao Qing likes rainy days is also related to his childhood experiences.
Because there would be no annoying relatives coming to disturb her on rainy days, grandma did not go out to work on rainy days, but stayed at home to do some handicrafts and chat with Shao Qing about some things related to the past.

After the fish is grilled until cooked through, it's time for lunch.
Shao Qing brought the fragrant fish meat into her mouth. The delicious taste kept spinning and jumping in her mouth, and there was still a sweet aftertaste until it was swallowed.
It’s delicious, really delicious. It would be great if I had this skill, so that I wouldn’t have to rely on fast food and pre-prepared dishes when I cook at home.
"Do you like grilled fish?" Jing Ke couldn't help asking after noticing Shao Qing's mood had improved rapidly.
"It's not that I like grilled fish, I just like to eat anything delicious." Shao Qing said, and quickly took another bite.
It turns out that cooking for oneself can ensure one’s own well-being. This fish alone weighs about a pound, and you will definitely be full after eating it.
"My cooking skills are pretty good too. After you finish filming, would you like to try my cooking?" Jing Ke asked.
For some reason, when she saw Shao Qing looking happy because of eating food made by other people, she felt a sense of urgency in her heart.
Some strange things would suddenly pop up in the database, such as "If you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture her stomach?" and "Only food infused with love is real food."
These are normal, but what Jing Ke can't understand the most is a sentence that sounds incoherent - the protein is three times that of beef.
