Chapter 72 Whole Fish Feast

Ruan He was eating grilled fish. He casually raised his eyes and looked towards the edge of the deck unintentionally. He couldn't help but smile.

“Not only is there something to eat, but there are also good shows to watch.”

Following Ruan He's words, they looked over and happened to see the boat owner and several boatmen working at the water's edge.

The boat owner didn't know anything about fishing. He bought the boat with his family's savings. He made money by picking up and dropping off guests on weekdays, leaving all the fishing business to his boatmen.

He was also stingy. Although he also saw Ruan He using fishy dog ​​meat as bait, he was reluctant to use the meat as bait. He only got some finely divided bait powder, but he couldn't catch fish at this time.

The few boatmen under his command naturally understood it and did not dare to say anything for fear of being scolded by the captain.

Thick fishing nets were laid out on the water. The boat owner stared at the calm water with greedy eyes, staring at the calm water. He was already imagining the good days of casually catching a big fish in the net!

When the first net was lowered, the boat owner was impatient at all. He stared at it eagerly for a while, not caring about waiting. He saw with sharp eyes that the fishing net sank a little, and he hurriedly urged the boatman on the side to pull up the net bag.

"Quick, quick, quick! If you let the fish escape, I won't be able to spare you!"

The boat owner yelled impatiently and stared at the fishing net.

The two boatmen looked at each other, knowing clearly that there must be no fish in the net bag, and they could only follow the boat owner's wishes.

Under the irritable urging of the boat owner, the boatman pulled up the fishing net, which was not very heavy, quite easily.

As soon as the fishing net was spread out, the captain's face suddenly turned livid, which was quite ugly!

Ruan He couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes slowly swept over the large section of broken leaves in the fishing net, and he said casually: "The harvest is quite rich."

Several other people also laughed when they heard her wise words.

The boat owner angrily scolded the two boatmen. He concluded that these two boys had scared away the fish and quickly ordered them to continue lowering the fishing net!
After the second net went down, the boat owner waited patiently for a long time. When the net bag came up, it was a heavy log!

He was so angry that he jumped to his feet, slapped the boatmen, and ordered them to continue lowering the nets.

"Move gently! You'll scare away all my fish!"

When the third net came up, the boat owner didn't believe his two clumsy boatmen, so he pushed them away and dragged the net himself.

After this net bag came up, I finally got something. There was a crucian carp jumping in the fishing net.

It's a pity...the crucian carp was only the size of a hand, and the boat owner was dragging the fishing net while sweating profusely!

The meal of grilled fish was even more delicious with the captain's clown serving the meal.

After eating the grilled fish, the family happily returned to the cabin.

The sky was getting darker. The boat owner worked hard for an hour and only caught one small crucian carp. He stamped his feet in anger.

The bait he dropped was worth more than that little crucian carp.

He was so angry that he threw the little crucian carp heavily on the deck, grabbed the fishing net, and walked straight towards the cabin.

It's better to sell this fishing net to Mr. Cha, who can still give you a few pieces of silver, than to be thankless for his efforts here!
The more the captain thought about it, the more he collapsed. He gritted his teeth and planned to lick his face and go back to the official to sell the broken fishing net and get some money back.

Maybe we can get some fish from Mr. Cha.

He held the fishing net, watched the sky turn dark, and hurried to the cabin where the officials were.

Wang Xiaoer was preparing a fish feast in the cabin, and the officials were all grinning from ear to ear and running around busy.

Even the always serious leader Li Jiang came over to cook in person to show off his cooking skills to the brothers.Wang Xiaoer was busy chopping fish, holding a sharp kitchen knife in his hand and immersed himself in peeling the fish scales.

A fishy smell filled the air, and the captain ran over eagerly. He was so greedy when he saw so many fresh fat fish. After all, in his eyes, they were just a lot of money.

The boat owner cautiously walked to Wang Xiaoer's side, considered it for a moment, looked at the blade with a cold light, and stammered: "Master, do you still want to buy that... fishing net?"

Wang Xiaoer was lowering his head to handle the fish scales and glanced at him impatiently. Seeing this stingy man's flattering expression, he became even more angry.

"Get out of here! I'm busy!"

He casually waved the kitchen knife in his hand, and the light of the knife reflected the stiff and panic expression of the captain.

The captain was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry, not daring to come back and cause trouble.

"Why is he here again?" Lao Jiu happened to come over to take away the packed raw fish. When he saw the back of the boat owner running away in despair, he frowned and muttered.

"Who knows what, but he wants to sell me that broken fishing net again. I'm too lazy to pay attention to him."

Wang Xiaoer said angrily. After all, he had promised his sister-in-law to borrow the fishing net for five days before, so he was suddenly hurt by this stingy boat owner. Naturally, he couldn't show a good face.

……

Most of the officials are actually from ordinary backgrounds and can cook more or less good dishes. The Whole Fish Banquet has brought together the craftsmanship of officials from all over the country to make a variety of fish feasts, which smell fragrant from a distance. .

The officers spread out a dozen large tables on the deck and arranged all kinds of cooked dishes and banquets one by one.

Several jars of wine that had been secretly brought on board were also taken out with Li Jiang's acquiescence and poured into dozens of large bowls one by one.

Lao Jiu was pouring the wine, smelling the aroma of the slightly tipsy wine, smacking his lips happily, looking up, looking at the back of Li Jiang walking away not far away, and shouted sincerely:

"Boss, where are you going? It's time to eat. If you're not around, who among the brothers would dare to use the chopsticks first?"

Ever since Li Jiang rescued him regardless of past grudges, Lao Jiu's estrangement towards Li Jiang has disappeared.

"Boss, are you looking for Brother Mu and the others?" Lao Jiu caught up and already guessed what Li Jiang was thinking.

Li Jiang's usually serious face turned slightly and explained: "I caught the fish, so I asked you to come over and eat it together."

"Then I'll go with you. After all, my life was saved by others."

Lao Jiu also nodded sternly and followed quickly beside his leader.

He had already had this idea, but he still had to get his boss's permission.

When Li Jiang walked into the cabin, he met Ruan He who was walking out of the door.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Ruan He raised his eyes and looked at the two people walking in a hurry, knowing clearly that they would not come here for no reason.

"Mrs. Mu, we have prepared the whole fish feast. Your whole family can come over and join in the fun."

"That's right, the boss came here specially to invite you. It would be unreasonable not to go."

Ruan He shook her head, her consideration was more thoughtful.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. This is not appropriate. We are still prisoners after all. If others see us... it will have a bad impact on you."
