Chapter 7 What Good Luck
Sixth sister had just helped him get revenge, and now Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi were in a good mood, so Jiang Chunyu waved his hand and said, "Come on, remember what you two said in the future, and don't bully others again."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it definitely won't happen." Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing that Jiang Chunyu no longer pursued them, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Mixia saw Song Jingyun forking fish, so she said timidly, "Well, Sister Mixia, the fish here are very smart and can't be forked. I'm afraid my brother-in-law is working in vain..."
"Yesterday, Sanpang caught a big grass carp with a fork. The one that's been forked here is what I'm talking about." Jiang Chunyu retorted.
"He traded his cat for that fish yesterday." Sun Ergou pouted, "I saw it all yesterday."
"This fellow, he got the fish by himself, and he even said it was a very detailed story, saying that he caught the fish with a spear, and even said that his foot was cut by a rock on the river bottom when he was trying to spear the fish. It turns out that he is just talking nonsense!"
Jiang Chunyu gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait and see how I deal with him when I get back!"
Can't catch any fish here?
Then don't let the little son-in-law waste his energy here.
Jiang Mixia put her hand to her mouth, ready to shout at the top of her lungs for Song Jingyun to come back.
But before she could open her mouth, she heard a "swish" and the bamboo fork in Song Jingyun's hand pierced into the water. When she raised it again, she saw a six or seven-inch long crucian carp on the wet bamboo fork.
The crucian carp was stabbed and left the water, curling its body back and forth.
Seeing this, Jiang Mixia took the basket and asked Song Jingyun to put the fish in.
"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Mixia was very happy and praised repeatedly, "You are really good at spearing a fish the first time you try."
Encouraged, Song Jingyun was excited and continued to look for fish with a bamboo fork.
"Sixth brother-in-law has caught a fish!" Jiang Chunyu was also overjoyed, and then glanced at Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi, "Didn't you two just say that you couldn't catch any fish, huh?"
"I really can't catch any fish." Sun Ergou explained hastily, "Zhu Zi and I have tried to catch fish so many times, but we haven't caught any, right, Zhu Zi?"
"Yes, it's true that not even a fish hair was caught." Sun Zhuzi nodded like pounding garlic.
They looked serious and didn't seem to be lying. When he first came to fork the fish, he also tried very hard but didn't catch any fish. But now Song Jingyun caught the fish in one go...
How do you explain this?
"Maybe it's luck." Sun Ergou guessed boldly.
"Probably..." Jiang Chunyu hadn't finished his words when he heard another "swish" sound. When he looked up, he saw that Song Jingyun had caught another fish on his bamboo fork.
This fish looked bigger than the previous one, about one foot long, and it was not a crucian carp, but a wild grass carp.
Such a big fish already has some meat on it. If you take it home and roast it, it will be a real meat dish.
Sun Zhuzi's eyes looked straight, "This is really good luck."
Sun Ergou and Jiang Chunyu nodded repeatedly
Next, the third, fourth, fifth...
Before long, there were seven or eight fish in Jiang Mixia's basket, and each one was bigger and heavier than the last.
Even the interval between Song Jingyun's forking the fish was getting shorter and shorter.
Song Jingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead as he put another fish on the bamboo fork into the basket.
"That's enough. These fish are enough for the family to eat for two days." Jiang Mixia said.
"Okay." Song Jingyun was a little tired at this moment, so he picked up the bamboo fork, held on to Jiang Mixia's outstretched hand, and walked towards the shore.
"Sixth brother-in-law, you are really amazing!" Jiang Chunyu looked at Song Jingyun with stars in his eyes. "Where did you learn this skill of spearing fish? Teach me."
"Where did you learn this?" Song Jingyun scratched his ear. "Didn't I just learn this from you?"
"Sixth brother-in-law, stop joking." Jiang Chunyu just waved his hand.
He didn't catch any fish, so why should I learn from him? "No kidding, I learned it from you, just now." Song Jingyun's face was full of seriousness.
Jiang Chunyu suddenly became a little uneasy.
The master couldn't catch the fish, but the apprentice was amazing...
He is really a bad master.
"Take these two fish back." Jiang Mixia picked up two big ones and put them into Jiang Chunyu's bamboo basket.
"No way." Jiang Chunyu refused. "This is the fish that Sixth Brother-in-law has worked so hard to catch. I can't take it."
"If you don't have any fish in your hand, how can you go to Sanpang and talk about forking fish?"
When Jiang Mixia mentioned this, Jiang Chunyu immediately perked up, "Okay, then I'll take it first."
Jiang Mixia smiled, put the basket on Song Jingyun's back, and filled the two wooden barrels with water, hung them on the pole, and put them on her back, "Let's go home."
"Okay." Jiang Chunyu picked up the bamboo basket and bamboo fork, followed Jiang Mixia, and walked home happily.
After the three men walked away, Sun Ergou and Sun Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards their home.
"Never provoke Jiang Mixia in the future." Sun Ergou said on the way.
It’s so cruel!
Sun Zhuzi nodded, "I remember it."
"And that little son-in-law must not be provoked."
Sun Zhuzi nodded even more fiercely, "Don't worry, I will never provoke you."
Are you kidding? This harpoon is so accurate, he must be a martial artist. If he beats someone, he will definitely be more brutal than Jiang Mixia...
Sun Zhuzi shuddered.
When Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun arrived home, Jiang Youcheng and Liu had already returned and were collecting brambles in the yard.
Seeing the two people coming back, Liu hurried over and took the shoulder pole from Jiang Mixia's shoulders. "When I came back, I saw no one at home. I thought you were out for some reason, so I went out to look for you. But I ran into your sister-in-law Meng, who said she went to the river to fetch water."
"The water tank at home is a bit shallow, so let's go fetch some water, so dad doesn't have to make a trip there." Jiang Mixia said with a smile.
Liu was happy that her daughter was filial and smiled.
When he saw that the basket Song Jingyun was carrying was filled with several fish, he was even more surprised, "So many fish?"
"It was Jingyun who caught the fish with a bamboo fork." Jiang Mixia told Liu the whole story of Jiang Chunyu bringing spinach and eggs, and how she and Song Jingyun followed Jiang Chunyu to the river to fetch water and catch fish.
Liu and Jiang Youcheng praised Jiang Mixia for handling the matter of giving Jiang Chunyu two fish properly, and even praised Song Jingyun for forking so many fish, "Jingyun is really capable."
"That's right, he's very capable."
Jiang Mixia raised the corner of her mouth, "Other people can't catch even one fish, but Jing Yun caught so many at once, he's really amazing."
The young son-in-law is so capable, he should be praised and encouraged! When Song Jingyun heard the family praising him like this, he scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
After getting so many fish, Liu started to clean them up.
Scrape the scales, gut the fish, and wash it clean.
There were a lot of fish, so I stewed two of them at noon, and rubbed the rest evenly with salt and hung them up to be eaten later.
The two largest grass carps were stewed, and there was quite a lot of meat. The stew filled half a small pot, and each person got a full bowl of fish meat.
There are not many ingredients at home, and the fish stew is simple, but the fish is wild river fish, the river water is clear enough, and the fish is stewed for a long enough time. The fish meat tastes soft and tender, and the soup is even more delicious.
Jiang Mixia was afraid that her son-in-law would get a fish bone stuck in his throat, so she helped him pick out the boneless fish meat and taught him how to spit out the fish bones.
Song Jingyun learned quickly and was now able to filter fish bones out from between his teeth smoothly.
After eating a few pieces of fish and drinking a few sips of fish soup, Song Jingyun narrowed his eyes.
This fish is really delicious, even better than egg custard.
