Chapter 23: Lots of Fish~Maru
It was just a fight, and no attribute power was used, so Josh didn't stop it.
There are several magical beasts inside that are larger than the Brown-headed Vulture, so it is not considered to be bullying the weak.
The brown-headed vulture should make more noise. It would be really uncomfortable for Josh if it had such a gloomy face like it did in the professional office.
But here comes the troublesome problem - beating the meringue.
Qiao Xi rolled up his sleeves and let out a long sigh. There was half a basin of egg white. It would take a lot of effort to beat it.
She found a few clean long wooden sticks, held the basin, and stirred the hair frantically clockwise. She was so tired that she was panting, but only produced a bunch of bubbles. In one word, she was exhausted!
The brown-headed vulture watched Josh beating the egg whites, tilted its head, and while Josh was catching his breath, it rolled up a "breeze" and controlled the wooden stick to rotate like a tornado.
However, the Brown-headed Vulture's ability to control wind was still poor, and the wind was still too strong. Soon the egg whites in the basin were beaten wildly by the out-of-control wooden stick, and the egg whites quickly splashed out. It was only when Josh firmly controlled the basin at the critical moment that the egg whites were saved.
It croaked twice in frustration, apologizing to Josh, as if it had messed up.
Qiao Xi looked at the Brown-headed Vulture excitedly and said, "Thank you, Brown-headed Vulture. You reminded me!"
The brown-headed vulture can easily lose control if the wind is too strong, but it doesn’t matter, there are so many small birds here, it’s impossible that these small birds cannot be affected by the strong wind.
So Josh let the first wind sparrow try it out. The wind was a little weak, but he was not afraid. If the wind was not strong enough, he could just use more birds to make up for it. He was not afraid of it being small, but afraid of it being big.
So the big-footed sand goose also joined in, "Thank you, those who help can get an extra box of fish balls."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the little birds were eager to try. Some big birds like the white-winged egret also wanted to try, but were unfortunately rejected by Josh. However, they caught big fish and got more fish balls than the little birds. After Josh's persuasion, they didn't say anything.
The birdies formed teams, and when one team got tired, another team took over. Before the fourth team of birds came on the court, Josh felt that the meringue was almost done.
There was no suitable large basin to hold the fish paste and meringue, so he had to ask for help from the grazing spectators outside the venue - the big-tailed yak, and asked it to make a huge ice basin with ice. After adding the seasoning, Josh didn't have to worry about stirring it.
The brown-headed vulture discovered that it was much easier to control the wind power to stir the fish paste than to whip the meringue, and it only took a few minutes.
The water was ready, so he couldn't ask for help in making the fish balls. Qiao Xi just moved a stone to support his buttocks, sat up, and started making the fish balls.
At the same time, ask the birds to help watch the fire. Just need a small fire. If the fire is too big or too small, ask them to help and fan the fire. You will also get an extra box of fish balls.
One pot, two pots, three pots. It took five pots to finish cooking the fish balls. There was enough to share with the birds and even more than enough, and the fish used was less than half of the total amount.
A little idea vaguely came to Josh's mind.
Josh kept some of the remaining fish balls for himself and the brown-headed vulture, and distributed the rest to the birds present. The birds ate and took the fish, and were so happy that they didn't know where to fly away.
However, Josh has no intention of doing anything good, these are just baits.
"Uh-huh," Josh cleared his throat.
"I want to hire a bird to catch fish and make fish balls for me on a long-term basis. Is there any bird willing to do so?"
"Chirp, chirp," "Chirp, chirp," "Coo, coo, coo" I do, I do. I do, too! Me, me, me!
Many birds are not very good at catching fish. If they could use their strength to exchange for fish balls, wouldn’t that be better than catching fish?
Great, the first step is accomplished!
"If a bird brings me a monster fish, I will pay it double for the fish pellets."
"Coo, choo, choo!" Good, good! This time it was the big birds that were cheering. They caught bigger and better fish, but what they got was the same as what the working birds got. It would be strange if they didn't have any thoughts in their minds.
“But,” Josh emphasized, “you can’t catch intelligent monster fish. I won’t take them.”
Not every kind of magical beast is intelligent, nor does it mean that only intelligent animals have abilities. There are many animals that can simply use attribute powers but have no intelligence, such as the dough fish that Josh caught before, and the fanged pig owned by the cannery owner at the market. These magical beasts have power but their brains are the same as those of ordinary animals, so they are not protected by the law.
But intelligent monsters are different, they are deeply protected by the law and can communicate with humans, just like the group of birds outside the house. Josh couldn't kill such small lives for profit, so she made an agreement in advance.
In the wild food chain, it is common to see high-level monsters hunting low-level monsters, but Qiao Xi does not want to and will not take the initiative to kill intelligent monsters. As for the birds themselves, she has no control over it, but she will not collect that kind of fish.
"Cuckoo" the big birds also agreed.
"Okay, then everyone go back and rest today. Tomorrow morning, I will hire the first ten birds that arrive to make fish balls for me. Oh, and by the way, I won't be collecting fish tomorrow." Qiao Xi pointed to the remaining ice fish, "I have to use these first. If I need fish, how should I notify you?"
The white-feathered heron stood up and said, "Little farmer, I forage for food at Twilight Lake every morning. If you need small fish, you can ask the big black bird to notify me and I will tell everyone."
The birds chirped in agreement.
Josh nodded: “Okay, thank you very much.”
After the discussion, the birds all flew away. Qiao Xi waved his hand and asked the Brown-headed Vulture to fly down. He shouted towards the cave entrance, asking the Rock Rat to come out as well.
A man, a bird, a mouse, and a cow were whispering in the cowshed.
"I want to make fish balls and sell them in the free market. What do you think?"
The brown-headed vulture then realized that Josh was planning to hire those stinky little birds for a long time in order to sell them in the market. It had been sulking for so long.
The big black bird quietly changed its expression to something awkward, but of course Josh didn't notice because it was all black.
"Squeak!" Of course the Kongyanshu supported it unconditionally. It knew that making money could buy more things, and it liked more things, so it liked to make money.
"Quack!" I will help you. The brown-headed vulture also agreed.
"Moo~" Qiao Xi, you will be very tired. The big-tailed yak did not say whether it agreed or not, but was concerned about Qiao Xi's health.
Qiao Xi hugged the big-tailed yak and said, "I know, don't worry, big-tailed yak. I heard that those large secret spaces are open on a large scale once every ten days. Usually, the space gaps are strictly controlled to guard against alien creatures. At that time, there are the most people going in and out. I will only do it during those few days, okay?"
The big-tailed yak mooed. It only cared about Qiao Xi's health. If it was once every ten days, of course it was fine.
I have carefully corrected all the bugs you found for me. Thank you guys.
