Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong and Xie Jue were on Chu Lan’s boat, while Xie Ying was on Xie Jue’s boat. The four of them each took up a position, took their fishing rods, picked out their own bait, and started fishing.
The items Wei Ruo needed would be delivered later, but that’s alright, because these four had just started fishing.
After a while, Chu Lan's fishing rod began to move.
After some tugging, a black fish weighing about two pounds was caught. Although it was not as delicious as Mandarin fish, it was a fish of good quality and was very suitable to be grilled.
Chu Lan asked his subordinates to take the fish to the boat where Wei Ruo was.
After receiving the fish, Xiumei took it to the stern of the ship to prevent the fishy smell from affecting anyone. She then proceeded to handle it very neatly.
Removing the scales, gutting, and removing the gills, her movements were smooth. And in a short while, the fish that was still alive and kicking just now became clean.
Then she cut the fish belly with flower-cut shape and sprinkled coarse salt on it for marinating.
When Xiumei was handling the fish, the servants of the Xie family also drove a small boat to deliver the purchased items to Wei Ruo.
Garlic, green onions, lettuce, bean sprouts, bean curd skin. These were the ingredients that they could get easily.
There was also a small iron pot.
In order to speed up the pace, Wei Ruo and Xiumei divided the work. Xiumei was responsible for handling the ingredients, while Wei Ruo was responsible for cooking.
Wei Ruo rarely cooked by herself anymore, usually she asked Xiumei to do it.
Wei Ruo moved the two stoves and racks used to boil water on the boat to the bow of the boat, then she lit a fire and put on the iron racks.
While Wei Ruo and Xiumei were preparing, Xie Jue also had a catch - a grass carp weighing over four pounds.
Seeing that both Chu Lan and Xie Jue had a catch, Lu Yuhong got a little anxious. Although the other two did not plan to compete, Lu Yuhong had a desire to win.
Xie Ying was also a little anxious. She vowed that she would catch a big fish for Wei Ruo to grill, but her rod has no movement until now. How angry she is!
Xie Ying instinctively glanced at Lu Yuhong across from her, thinking that she couldn't be the last one and must catch big fish faster than him.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Xie Ying's fishing rod had not yet moved, but Lu Yuhong had already had a catch.
He pulled up the fishing rod with anticipation, only to find that it was a pitifully small crucian carp.
Although crucian carp was tasty, it was not suitable for grilled fish due to its many thorns and small size.
Lu Yuhong was a little disappointed, and this time, Xie Ying's surprised voice came from the opposite boat.
"Ruoruo, I've caught a fish, please help me pull it! It's so strong!" Xie Ying's voice was excited.
Wei Ruo quickly came forward to help Xie Ying hold the fishing rod to prevent it from being pulled away by the fish.
"What should I do Ruoruo, I can't pull it up!" Xie Ying was a bit anxious.
"Don't worry. Let's loosen your grip for a while, tighten it for a while, and let the fish swim away for a while. When the fish doesn't have much strength anymore, you can pull it up." Wei Ruo said calmly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying cooperated. Not rushing to pull the fish up, but using the method of loosening and tightening that Wei Ruo said, pulling it back and forth.
The three people on the opposite boat originally intended to send someone over to help, but found that the two girls were calm and composed.
Xie Jue was anxious. If the fish ran away, with his sister's personality, she would probably be sad for more than half a month.
Lu Yuhong's heart was in suspense, he was curious about what fish Miss Xie had caught.
