Just as she expected, in less than half an hour, a lot of fish had entered the fishing net.
If it weren't for the precautions, she probably wouldn't have been able to pull it up.
She lifted the fishing net up and took the opportunity to look behind her. Seeing that there was no one there, she quickly put it into the space. Then, she turned around slowly.
When she reached the canal, there was no one there. She quickly pulled out the fishing net and threw the fish and the net into the bucket. After entering the space, there was no living fish left...
He dragged the bucket from the canal back to the yard with great effort and took the fish out of the fishing net.
There were more than 20 of them, and each one was quite large. If she hadn't planned to keep them as New Year's goods, she would have sold them if they had all died.
Turning her head to look at the yard in front of her, Meng Qidi simply picked up the fishing net and went there again. There was still some soaked rice in the space, so she decided to do it again.
After putting away the fishing net, she hurried back to process the fish. The fish had to be washed and then marinated with marinade. After being marinated for a few days, they had to be cut into pieces and dried half-dried, then packed and soaked in some wine.
Knowing that there were many fish in the stream, Wang Jinhua was still a little surprised when she came out and saw so many fish.
After seeking Xiaoqi's consent, she sent one to Wang Cuihua and Wang Hexiang's families.
This time, Meng Qidi did not put the fish into the space, but dragged it to the yard, just as Wang Jinhua came back.
"What else? Can we finish it?"
"We can sell these, but, Mom, should we sell them at our corner or take them to town?"
Meng Qidi was troubled by the large bucket of fish. The second time she caught more fish than the first time, almost thirty...
It’s so scary, there aren’t even so many fish in their fish pond…
"Why don't you sell it at the intersection? I'll go to your uncle Han Fang's house and shout it out through the loudspeaker."
"No need for that. Then we can just go to the intersections of several teams and sell them." With just the people in his team, there would definitely not be much to sell.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed for a long time and finally decided to sell fish at a few intersections in front of the village.
Fortunately, I have a cart, otherwise I would have to borrow one.
After turning off the stove, Wang Jinhua was no longer in a hurry to fry tea leaves. She took Xiao Chengzi with her to sell fish.
From my doorstep to the intersection over there, I sold five or six fish, mainly because the fish were too fat...
After all, the fish are raised in an underground river, so they will definitely taste delicious if cooked.
Meng Qidi didn't raise the price of fish too high, it was within everyone's acceptable range.
Meng Qidi weighed the fish, while Wang Jinhua packed the fish and introduced various ways to eat and cook fish...
Maybe it's because it sounds so good that people can't help but buy one or two to try.
Meng Qidi still underestimated the purchasing power of this era. In less than half an hour, only four or five items were left...
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around, Meng Qidi asked, "How come mom knows so many recipes?"
The person who was picking fish nearby laughed and said, "You probably don't know that your mother-in-law's family used to be landlords. She was a real rich girl. She had eaten everything when she was young. If it weren't for..."
"Eating fish won't stop you from eating." Wang Jinhua scolded with a smile, "Buy the fish and go back quickly."
"Oh, these old ladies are still so fierce. I won't say anything more. Hurry and weigh them back for me."
The two talked and laughed. Meng Qidi was a little surprised. No wonder the old lady had good cooking skills. But did the rich girl still have to cook?
Meng Qidi has no habit of pursuing other people's past. She just listens and forgets it.
After the fish was sold, the two took the children back home. When they were in the village, Wang Jinhua called the busy Jin Ming to come over for dinner later.
Meng Qidi walked back with Xiao Chengzi in her arms, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard cursing from behind.
Meng Qidi originally planned to ignore it, but the other party kept chasing her and pointed at her and cursed at her.
"You are such a heartless person. My son and daughter are so kind to you, but you didn't even share a single fish with us. You..."
Meng Qidi was speechless, "Whose fish is this?"
Luo Xia was angry, "Yours."
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Since it's mine, I have the final say on who I want to give it to. So what if I don't give it to your family?"
This was the first time she encountered someone asking for something at her door...
Luo Xia was very angry at Meng Qidi's words. She wanted to curse at him, but she glanced at Wang Jinhua who was coming over and turned her head away quickly.
"Sister-in-law Jinhua, I'm not saying anything bad about your family, but this is really unfair and too much. Jin Ming and Jin Yue have such a good relationship with your family. Why don't you give fish to others but not to ours?"
Meng Qidi...
Okay, then she went back. It was up to the old lady to decide whether to give it or not.
Wang Jinhua was puzzled. "Send fish to your house? Isn't Jin Yue at home? Oh, you mean Jin Ming? I told him to come to our house for dinner after he finishes his work. Don't worry, there will definitely be fish on our table."
Luo Xia paused, and almost choked up with anger. This woman... is simply!
Did she mean that? She didn't mean that at all!
Wang Jinhua asked, as if she didn't realize what Luo Xia meant.
"Anything else? If not, I'll go back to cook. Our Xiaoqi is good at everything except cooking. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back now."
Wang Jinhua's words sounded a bit boastful and proud. Xiaoqi in her family loved the food she cooked, and the family couldn't do without her.
After hearing Luo Xia's half-sentence, Wang Jinhua turned back innocently, as if she was not the one who was angry just now.
In fact, she is not the kind of person who will take revenge for any slight. The main reason is that Luo Xia is too heartless. No matter how much you help her, she will still scold you cruelly.
If it weren't for the fact that Jin Ming and Jin Yue were nice kids, she would have wanted to cut off all ties with their family.
After returning home, Meng Qidi threw the purse on the stone table and continued to process the fish. The little girl squatted beside her and watched curiously, asking a few questions in childish words from time to time.
Wang Jinhua came back, and this scene brought a smile to her face. "Xiaoqi, have you figured it out? How much did you earn today?"
"I didn't count. It's on the table. You count it."
"Oh, Xiaoqi, after Jin Ming's mom made a fuss just now, I just remembered that we should leave a few fish and send them back to Mengjia Lane. Although your parents are not at home, your grandparents are here too."
This etiquette must be performed in a thorough manner and no one can say anything.
Meng Qidi paused and nodded slightly. In fact, she remembered it, but she just didn't really want to send it.
Since the old lady said so, Meng Qidi simply left four fish behind, giving one to the captain Meng Feng's family, and one each to her grandparents and the eldest and third sons.
After dinner, Meng Qidi rode her bicycle to take him there. Meng Daqiang had not come back yet, but he called and said he would definitely come back during the Chinese New Year.
Maybe because he felt ashamed, the other party didn't say what happened, and no one in the family knew about it.
After sitting in the Meng family for a while, Meng Qidi went back. She was very busy at the end of the year.
