Strange Cards

283th Octopus

Everyone was naturally quite happy, but some people's joys and sorrows were not shared.

Bai Yu was also fishing there with a fishing rod. If Shi Yu hadn't had Steel Claw hook a few fish onto Bai Yu's hook, he really wouldn't have caught a single one.

Of the fish caught, one of them gave Bai Yu two tails, and Shi Yu pointed to the fish that gave Bai Yu two tails.

"Look, that's a sick fish."

Bai Yu managed to subdue the fish by desperately gripping its gills, and looked at the fish he had pinned down with curiosity.

"Master, what is a sick fish?"

"This fish is extremely dangerous and highly aggressive, specifically targeting people's faces."

There's a song that goes like that.

"A cold, sick fish is slapping my face haphazardly."

Bai Yu looked at Shi Yu, barely suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.

"It's so cold, Master."

"Stop telling lame jokes."

Shi Yu smiled awkwardly, then opened a bottle of ice-cold beer next to him and took a sip.

While eating fried fish and drinking cola, Shi Yanlan smelled the wheat aroma from the beer next to Shi Yu. Just as she was sneakily reaching out to steal it, Shi Yu swiftly and decisively slapped Shi Yanlan's hand.

Go drink your Coke.

"Kids aren't allowed to drink alcohol."

"Brother, I'm actually quite a bit older than you."

"Your ID card says you're six years old, so we'll go with what's on your ID card."

After saying that, Shigure drank the rest of his beer in one gulp, then pinched the empty can together and threw it into the trash can.

Meanwhile, Shi Yanlan squatted on the ground, drawing circles in a sullen mood, and then forgot about it after a while.

After Li Shunshi, Yu Da Niu, and the other two hadn't caught anything for a while, they put down their fishing rods and gathered around Qi Wu to watch.

Qi Wu was holding a special rod for catching big fish, and the float was bobbing up and down.

The four of them stared intently at the float. Shi Yu even borrowed Yu Yan's bow and arrow, which was already fully drawn and waiting there.

The four of them knew that the fish that could pull Qi Wu's pole was definitely not small, which is why they had an unusually high level of patience.

But the fish wouldn't bite the hook no matter what, and just kept teasing the four of them.

After waiting for a while, the four couldn't bear it any longer. Qi Wu pulled up his fishing rod, tossed it aside, and took off his shirt.

"This damn fish just won't bite, it's just teasing you from there."

"If it doesn't bite, you can't spoil it."

"*** (emotional particle.)"

After saying that, Qi Wu jumped into the water. The remaining three looked at each other and then took off their shirts and jumped into the fishpond.

Including Nine Shadows and Steel Claw in the water, it took a full fourteen guys quite a while to catch that fish.

Qi Wu gripped the gills of the large fish tightly, pressing his entire body against it.

Then, after retracting its claws, Steel Claw used the nine shadows to lift Qi Wu out of the water and throw him onto the shore.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the large fish weighing over thirty pounds, while Qi Wu patted his daughter on the shoulder after throwing the fish onto the distant shore.

"Nannan, I have a task for you."

"Your dad doesn't know how to kill fish. Kill this fish and I'll cook you something delicious."

Qi Nannan looked at the fish that was bigger than herself, and then looked at her own small body.

"Dad, are you serious?"

"If this guy gets really angry, he might kill me."

"Your daughter only weighs 31 pounds, but this fish looks heavier than me."

The remaining three slowly climbed out of the water. After drying themselves with their ghostly power, Shigure picked up the fish and tried it out.

"Thirty-three catties and five taels."

"Really? How come there are whole numbers and odd amounts?"

Yu Yan took a scale, threw the fish on it, and weighed it, finding it to be exactly 33.5 jin.

"No, are your hands scales? How can they be so accurate?"

Shigure lifted his bangs, his eyes indifferent.

"I've been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years."

"My heart is colder than my knife."

"But actually, it's because I got used to helping other fish stalls weigh fish when I was a child. I can tell how much a fish weighs just by touching it."

Yu Yan curled her lip in disdain and crossed her arms.

"I've been an electrician for so many years, I can tell if there's a leak just by touching it with my hand."

"You're lucky you weren't electrocuted."

Shiyu took the huge silver carp and quickly killed and gutted it.

At this moment, Qi Wu walked over from somewhere carrying a huge pot, followed by Da Niu and Li Shun carrying a huge mobile stove.

After Da Niu and Li Shun arrived, Shi Yu placed the big fish on the stove and used the Ace of Spades to make a kitchen knife.

"How are we going to eat this fish?"

"How did it grow so big in just a few months?"

"I've set up the program for this thing; Yanyun will be fed twice a day."

"It's thanks to the new type of fish feed that it's grown so big."

"But I reckon it ate some other fish too, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast."

Qi Wu stroked his chin and said, while Da Niu looked at the whole big fish, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"How about we make a stew?"

"No, that's too wasteful."

Li Shun spoke up.

"It's such a waste to only have one flavor for such a big fish. Let's think about whether we can cook this fish in multiple ways."

After thinking for a while, Shiyu divided the fish into four sections, split the fish head open, and then said.

"The head is used to make steamed fish head with chopped chili."

"I'll use a piece of the body and the tail for stewing. Boss, go to your little room and get some soybean paste. I'm making braised fish with soybean paste."

"We can make one or two dishes by braising fish below and steaming fish head above."

"I'll try to make some fish balls from the remaining large pieces of fish to make fish ball soup."

"This fish isn't really suitable for eating raw, otherwise it could be made into sashimi."

Liu An looked at Shi Yu, who was busy with a kitchen knife, and asked softly.

"Xiaoyu, how come you're so good at cooking? You can make one dish into so many different dishes!"

Shi Yu smiled, stir-fried the sauce for the chopped chili fish head in a pot, then placed the fish head in a steamer and spread the sauce all over the fish head.

"When I was twelve or thirteen, we didn't have money to eat well, we were poor."

"I used to go fishing by the river every time I finished school or had a holiday. If I caught something, I could improve my meals."

"I even came up with a way to make soup with the fish bones, tail, and head, and to slice off the fish meat and grill it over a fire."

"This way, the fish soup can solve one meal, and the sliced ​​grilled fish meat can solve another meal."

"The fish bones and tail meat in the fish soup are enough to make another meal."

"This habit was formed when I was a child, and it's probably impossible to change it."

As Shi Yu spoke, she deftly placed the fish body and tail into the pot, poured in the sauce, then placed the steamer with the fish head on top, covered the steamer, added a few pieces of firewood, and turned the fire up to high.

Seeing Shi Yu speak so naturally, Liu An couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her, but Shi Yu just smiled and continued making the food in her hands.
