Chapter 18 Onlookers

The villagers failed to catch up with Lu Qing and the others.

With Wang Daan's help, they walked not too slowly, and the river was not far from the village.

So while they were still packing their things by the river, Lu Qing and others had already returned to the village.

And when they returned to the village, the effect was sensational.

There was no way, the big fish Wang Daan was carrying was really eye-catching.

It just so happened that this guy also liked Dese. As soon as he entered the village, when he saw someone somewhere, he would carry the fish on his back and approach them.

If someone else is not blind, how could they not see the fish he is carrying?

As a result, when you see such a big fish, you can't help but exclaim.

Brother Da'an caught a big fish, what a big fish!

As soon as this voice came out, others naturally came out to watch the fun.

Then I saw that it was indeed a big fish, and it was so big that it was scary.

Now, it suddenly became lively.

Hey, Da'an, you actually caught such a big fish. Please tell me how you caught it?

Good guy, I'm afraid this fish weighs more than 20 kilograms. You have to be patient, Da'an!

Brother Da'an is so awesome, he can catch such a big fish!

…

A group of villagers gathered around Da'an, reaching out to touch the fish and marveling at it.

The children were even more excited, jumping and shouting.

Lu Qing watched Wang Daan showing off the green turtle to everyone with some amusement.

This scene reminded him of those fishing friends in his previous life who accidentally caught a big fish and were so successful.

It seems that if you don't show off vigorously, you will be sorry for the hardship of staying by the river.

When Wang Da'an was almost done, Lu Qing shouted helplessly: Okay, brother Da'an, let's go back.

After showing off enough, Wang Daan squeezed out of the crowd and ran to Lu Qing.

I forgot to tell you, this big fish was not caught by me, but by Lu Qing!

Did Lu Qing catch it?

Everyone looked towards Lu Qing.

Xiaoyan immediately raised her head proudly: Yes, my brother spent a lot of effort to catch this big fish. There is an even more beautiful big fish in our bucket!

Is it really Lu Qing's fault?!

“There’s another big fish in the barrel?!”

When everyone heard this, they rushed up and looked into the bucket that Lu Qing was carrying.

At this look, everyone was stunned.

Otherwise, the appearance of Red Moon Carp is really amazing.

The gorgeous fiery red color is like a flame burning in the water. People can tell at a glance that this fish is not ordinary.

What kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful!

This is the first time I've seen a fiery red fish.

Where did Lu Qingqian catch such a beautiful fish?

Lu Qing, do you know what kind of fish this is?

Everyone asked in amazement.

I don't know what kind of fish this is. Lu Qing shook his head, I plan to take it to Grandpa Chen tomorrow to see if he recognizes it.

Yes, yes, yes, Old Doctor Chen is well-informed and must recognize this fish.

If there is anyone in the village who is respected the most by the villagers, it is undoubtedly Dr. Chen.

Not only because everyone more or less goes to the old doctor for medical treatment.

Also because the old doctor is recognized as the most knowledgeable person in the village.

They often go in and out of the city, and their knowledge is beyond what people like them in the countryside can match.

The crowd gathered around and commented on the two big fish for a long time. After their eyes were satisfied, they dispersed with satisfaction.

Lu Qing actually invited everyone to his home and said he would kill fish for everyone to eat.

But none of the people in the village knew about his family's situation, so they all refused.

Even if there were a few people who wanted to taste the big fish, they were pulled away by others before they even opened their mouths.

You really have no discernment. You want to take advantage of two poor orphans. Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back?

After everyone dispersed, Lu Qing picked up the bucket and returned to his yard with Xiaoyan and Wang Daan.

Lu Qing, I'm going back first.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, Wang Daan put down the fish and was ready to leave.

Lu Qing quickly called out to him: Don't leave, brother Da'an, I agreed to treat you to fish.

Are you serious? I was joking before. With your family's situation, if I really stay to eat, my old man will chase me away with a stick when I go back!

Then you can't make me break my promise.

Anyway, I don't dare to stay for dinner.

...

The two argued, but neither could convince the other.

Brother Da'an, you also know that we, brother and sister, can't finish such a big fish at once. Now that the weather is warm, the fish meat won't last long. If you take two pieces back, you can help lighten my burden. Lu Qing said sincerely. .

Then...okay. Seeing Lu Qingdu say this, Wang Daan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Seeing that he relented, Lu Qing immediately went into the kitchen to get a knife and prepared to kill the fish.

Not to mention, the blue turtle is worthy of its name, and its scales are quite tough.

Lu Qing spent a lot of energy, and with Wang Daan helping him, he scraped off the fish scales with great difficulty and then disemboweled it.

After breaking open the fish, apart from the fish bubbles, he planned to throw away all the other internal organs, such as fish intestines and liver.

Although even a big fish like green turtle is a delicacy if its internal organs are cooked well.

Lu Qing liked to eat fish intestines in his previous life.

But with the current situation at home, there was not even a little more seasoning, and there was no condition to cook these fishy things. Lu Qing could only reluctantly give up.

After digging out the internal organs, Lu Qing immediately chopped out two large pieces of fish, wrapped them in banana leaves, and handed them to Wang Daan.

so much?!

Wang Daan looked at the two large pieces of fish and said in surprise.

These two pieces of fish weighed at least several kilograms.

There's not much left, Brother Da'an. Look, there's so much fish here. How can Xiaoyan and I finish it all?

Lu Qing forced the fish meat into Wang Daan's hands.

Wang Daan looked at the wooden board on which the fish was chopped, and there was indeed a lot of fish meat on it, so he did not refuse.

Lu Qing, I think your family is the only one in the whole village who has this problem of not having enough fish to eat.

Wang Daan smiled after taking the fish.

After seeing Lu Qing's performance today, Wang Daan also realized that Lu Qing's family would probably not be short of fish in the future.

Fish can't be eaten as food. Lu Qing said helplessly, People still have to eat. It's a pity that my family's fields are abandoned, and it's not time to grow food now.

That's a problem. Wang Daan nodded.

He knew that such a big change had happened to the Lu family before, causing Lu Qing to miss the days of farming.

There are still several months until the next planting season.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Lu Qing, you are such a good fisher. If you catch fish in the future, you can sell them at the market. Once you have money, you can buy food!

Selling fish? Lu Qing was a little confused, But I remember that you need to pay an entry fee to enter the city. I don't have any money now.

I'm not talking about the city, but selling them at a big market not far from our village!

Big gathering? Lu Qing blinked.
