Chapter 192: 192. Feel bad _1

In all fairness, it wasn’t the big brother of fishing’s fault that he couldn’t support himself anymore.

It was really because in his many years as a fisherman, he had never accumulated the experience of having a fish cage completely filled.

At that moment, he looked at Zhang Yanping with a pained expression, “Young man, please hurry and bring up the fish cage, I don’t dare to move a muscle!”

He had sat stiffly for several hours without daring to change his position, a torment that only those who had suffered understood.

With such a big catch, with the fish cage so full, he feared that if he relaxed even a little, if he lifted the stool just a bit, all the catch would slip away into the depths of the pond.

Zhang Yanping shivered instantly, placing the stainless steel bowl for carrying steamed buns down on the grass beside him:

“Aiya, look! I did this because I was worried you wouldn’t trust that there are many fish in the pond, so I came up with this method! Who would have known that the big brother was so earnest, not even looking for a good place to set the trap, he just casually had me place it here.”

“There isn’t even a sapling here, nowhere to tie the earth dragon, so it’s really awkward for the big brother!”

While speaking, he squatted down and grabbed the rope at the front end of the fish cage and then pulled hard—

Ripples spread on the water surface, and the underwater fish stirred even more intensely, but, the trap couldn’t be lifted.

Zhang Yanping fell silent for a moment, then turned back awkwardly:

“Tantan…”

Song Tan also smiled very humbly:

“Everyone, we just wanted to make a name for ourselves, that’s all, mainly because the fish in our pond are rather dumb and easy to catch…”

She and Zhang Yanping worked together, setting their bowls of porridge on the ground, and then they each grabbed the rope and started walking backwards a few steps.

The fish cage, packed and lengthy, was thus dragged onto the shore by her.

My goodness, these folks had fished all their lives but had never seen such a spectacle!

Including the big brother who had felt wronged just before, who now felt neither backache nor leg pain, hurriedly took out his phone and started snapping away ferociously.

A couple of the more refined ones even opened their vibrato, seriously selecting background music!

If these videos didn’t earn a thousand or so likes, it would be simply unworthy of the rarity they were experiencing!

They had been holding back just for the host to come and witness together – that’s why they had endured until now.

While everyone was marveling, Zhang Yanping quickly picked up the buns and passed them around:

“Come on, everyone, you’ve all worked hard too, each person gets two free breakfast buns!”

“And there’s also this porridge, after you’ve finished, just place the disposable bowl in the basin, and I’ll carry it back.”

Fish, after all, was mainly to attract people, a display was enough.

If the fish trap was too full later on, then the pond would truly be empty, it was important to get them to eat!

If they didn’t eat, where would he earn money from?

Although 150 wasn’t much, he had gotten up at three in the morning, if he didn’t earn anything, wouldn’t he be at a greater loss?

With his interruption, everyone subconsciously put away their phones, a bunch of big burly men holding a bowl of porridge in their left hand and two buns in their right, hungrily wolfing down the food.

Most of them had gotten up around one or two in the morning, and by this time they were hungry, especially in the morning chill near the pond.

So they took a hot sip of porridge first.

Instantly, someone praised it, “This porridge isn’t bad at all, cooked till it’s sticky, warming and comfortable.”

Seventh Uncle’s skills, could there be any doubt?

The porridge could even be made sticky and delicious, and on top of that, it was free.

If they didn’t praise it at least a bit given it was free, wouldn’t that be too unjust?

Soon after, someone bit into a bun, and these buns were genuinely filled with Milk Vetch!

After all, there had been way too much in the fields back then, and just by blanching, freezing, and drying, the family had sorted out quite a bit.

After Seventh Uncle came over, he had nothing else to do, so he turned everything out and started mixing fillings, not just for buns but for wontons and dumplings too.

Song Tan stared at the fish traps on the ground, eyeing the plump Dahuangs inside, and nodded with satisfaction:

“Let’s have Seventh Uncle make us braised Dahuangs for lunch, make it spicy.”

Among the men with their mouths stuffed full of buns, one raised his hand and said, “Miss, I don’t eat spicy.”

Song Tan turned to look at him, good-tempered:

“No worries, the free meals here don’t include Dahuang, just eat whatever you like.”

Goodness gracious!

Everyone laughed together, and nobody thought she was out of line. After all, the lady was providing two meals already, who were they to demand delicacies?

“Then you guys are not welcoming the big eaters here!” said someone munching on a bun, laughing: “Each additional bun is ten yuan, and an extra portion at lunch is forty yuan, that’s really not cheap.”

Zhang Yanping also laughed:

“Gentlemen, looking at the amount we have for breakfast, you’ll definitely be full at lunch. Just hold yourselves back, no need to order extra because it’s so delicious.”

The crowd then thought: These youngsters really don’t know how to do business, or maybe they’re just too shy.

As long as they could fish for free in the fish pond, spending a few tens of yuan on a box meal for the day was nothing at all. Now, with this arrangement, they really couldn’t spend their money even if they wanted to.

Zhang Yanping had no idea what they were thinking. All he did was emphasize again: “Just to reiterate, the one who catches the least by five o’clock has to pick a day to stay and help us pull weeds or do other light farm work for one day.”

“Meals included.”

“Also, the one who catches the most gets a cup of tea on the house.”

He brazenly gestured towards the fish pond in front of him: “Now, it’s up to everyone’s skills.”

The group wasn’t too keen on the tea, but they found the idea of staying to do farm work interesting.

Of course, because it involved the fishermen’s pride, everyone was high in spirits.

“Not to hide it from you, I’ve already had some luck in these past few hours,” someone said confidently.

And they weren’t the only one with some luck.

It’s just that…

Everyone was a bit puzzled: “I thought there were no big fish in your pond, only catching wheat stalks, lumpfish, or loaches.”

Basically, not one decent fish.

One unlucky fellow had even caught the same water snake three times, so much so that by the end, he was tossing it back without any frustration left.

They chatted and stretched their muscles, while Song Tan and Zhang Yanping were in no hurry to leave, casually continuing the conversation.

That is until someone finished their two buns.

After taking a sip of porridge, still feeling unsatisfied, and considering the steep price of ten yuan per bun, they hesitated but eventually asked, “Do you have any more buns? If not, can you get me two more?”

“Wow! Old Zhang is splurging just on breakfast, but you’ve never had a big appetite before,” someone teased.

Old Zhang glanced sideways at the speaker, “Then tell me, how good is the taste of these buns?”

Of course, they were delicious.

The speaker stuffed the last piece of bun skin into their mouth and then whispered, “Well… can you give me two more as well, and maybe another bowl of porridge?”

After saying this and seeing everyone’s looks, they became bashful, “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not greedy, it’s just that since I’m already here, and they’re offering free food and drink, I’d feel bad not spending a little money.”
