"Master, be careful!"
The edge of the pool was slippery, and Tang Ping almost slipped down accidentally. Fortunately, Lao Cui had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him.
"Are you okay? Lao Cui!" Tang Ping, who was pulled up, asked embarrassedly. He just happened to walk on the side of Lao Cui's injured hand.
In desperation, Lao Cui directly pulled him up with his injured hand.
"Don't worry, young master, I told you that the injury is almost healed!" Old Cui smiled honestly.
Then Tang Ping looked carefully and saw that Tieniu's shout just now was quite loud. Although it was said that there were no city guards patrolling here, if such a big movement was discovered, today's plan would be ruined.
After waiting nervously for a while, nothing happened, and Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it's because the weather is too cold, so all the city guards in Bieyuan have taken a rest.
"Come on, spread the bait!" The temperature was already low at night, and Tang Ping didn't plan to spend any more time.
First, I spread the oil dough made in the store into the water here to attract as many fish as possible.
After a while, following Tang Ping's order, several men from the village and Lao Cui lined up on the shore, and then threw Shen Zi's end out with all their strength.
"Plop, puff..." There were several dull sounds of entering the water. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Tang Ping estimated that Shenzi had sunk to the bottom, and waved his hands: "Everyone, pull hard, pull back!"
"Come on, harder!"
"Okay, try harder! One, two, three, one, two, three!"
With the efforts of several people, the big net began to be slowly dragged to the shore.
As the trawl net gets closer and closer to the shore, fish can already be seen splashing white splashes in the net.
"Fish, lots of fish!"
Wang Tieniu and the others shouted in suppressed voices, and put even more effort into their hands.
The trawl net became more laborious as it reached the shore. Tang Ping also rushed to help, and finally dragged the trawl net up.
You must know that no one has ever dared to fish in Qujiang Pond. Over time, there are quite a lot of fish in it.
In addition, the oily dough bait that Tang Ping threw at the beginning may also have had an effect, so this was just one net and they gained a lot.
"Quick, load it and leave!" This time they brought several bamboo baskets from the village, and several people hurriedly threw the fish into the bamboo baskets.
"Master, this fish is so fat!"
"Haha, yes, throw the small one back, we only want the big one!"
Soon, the six bamboo baskets were filled.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" At this time, Tang Ping felt as if he had gone to the countryside to steal sweet potatoes and bake them when he was a child.
Several people picked up or carried fishing nets and tonight's harvest and quickly left, heading towards Shanghe Village.
After delivering the fish to Tang Ping's yard, Xiaoluo and Luyi gave each of them a bowl of ginger soup.
"After drinking, go to bed early. You don't have to work for a day off tomorrow. Everyone, come here early and then have a whole fish feast!"
"Yes, boss!"
Early the next morning, Tang Ping got dressed and went downstairs. Almost all the villagers in Shanghe Village had arrived.
Everyone was very excited when they heard that they didn't have to work today and there would be a fish feast. Some of the young men were even more excited when they looked at the big fish in Tang Ping's yard.
"Everyone has worked hard in the past month and a half. Today we are going to have a fish feast outside. Everyone brings in their own tables and benches!"
"Yes, boss!"
"It's such a blessing to meet my boss!"
"I told you, our boss designated him as the reincarnation of Bodhisattva!"
Soon, wooden and bamboo stools of various shapes formed a long row in the open space outside Tang Ping’s yard.
Fish soup was stewed in two large pots upstairs in Tangping and on the induction cooker.
Several grills were set up at the entrance of the courtyard. The men in the village began to chop wood for the fire, and the women were busy scaling and breaking the fish.
A group of children also rushed around to help this group and that group.
Lao Zhoutou and Lao Wangtou are two elderly people over sixty years old in the village. Tang Ping said that they don't have to work.
Now the task of the two of them is to take care of the three little milk babies in the village who are less than two years old, so as not to cause trouble for others.
"God, I finally opened my eyes!" Lao Zhoutou's eyes were a little red. Not long ago, he thought he wouldn't survive. The only thing he was worried about was the only Miaomiao at home.
If his grandson dies along with him, then all the old Zhou family will be gone.
Unexpectedly, I had the courage to come to my employer to borrow food, and then everything changed.
Not only my own home, but the entire Shanghe Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Yes, I originally thought about dying!" Lao Wangtou squinted his eyes: "But now I can't bear it. I really want to see more days like this."
"Master..." Just when Tang Ping was holding a plate of salt and cumin and teaching everyone how to sprinkle it on the grilled fish, a villager with a pale face ran over, followed by a man with a pale face and no beard.
"What's wrong?"
"I went to collect firewood just now and saw this man bringing a cow, but his cow... fell to death in the hole we just dug!"
Now in Shanghe Village, pits have been dug in many places in the village. Tang Ping asked people to use them for composting. Some of the pits are not yet in use.
But there is a 30-centimeter earthen platform with mounds of earth next to it to prevent anyone from accidentally falling in.
It stands to reason that if the cow is still being held by someone, it would be impossible to fall into it, and the pit is not deep enough to kill the cow directly!
So...this person is here to have fun?
"May I ask, Master, who is the master of Shanghe Village?" The man's voice was a little shrill, but Tang Ping always felt that the man looked at him with a bit of respect.
Think about it, it must be your own misunderstanding. Regardless of whether you are here to touch porcelain or not, there is no reason to be respectful to yourself.
"Exactly, I wonder how sir plans to deal with it?"
"What happened today was that I was distracted while walking, and I accidentally threw the cow to death in your village. But I can't take the dead cow away, so I want to sell the cow to the young master!"
When I came, it turned out to be a bargain. If I were to sell it to myself, I was afraid that the price would be sky-high in a short while.
"How much do you plan to sell it for, sir?"
"Well..." The man looked around, then pointed to one side and said, "I like fish the most. If you don't give me three fat fish, I will give you the cow in exchange!"
"What?" Tang Ping thought he heard wrongly. Could it be that he said thirty articles?
"Just this one, this one and this one!" The man picked three fish from the box.
"But as far as I know, killing a cow privately is a serious crime. Mr. left the cow in our Shanghe Village. What if the government comes to find him?"
Since it's not a matter of porcelain, then three fishes are exchanged for a cow. Do you think that Tang Ping is a fool?
So this person wants to... frame himself!
Fortunately, I have seen various tricks in modern times. As long as I don't get greedy, I won't be deceived!
If you want to trick yourself, it’s impossible!
