Chapter 213 369 etc.
In just a moment, Song Anning knew what Chen Guanghui was thinking, and pretended to be angry and said to him:
“Uncle Dong also told me something about the fishing competition today, and it’s a little different from what he told you.
Who is lying? These little ones all know that lying is not a good thing. "
"..."
Chen Guanghui was speechless for a moment and his face gradually turned red.
Several children did not forget to join in:
Song Zeyuan: My sister knows everything, you can't lie to her.
Song Anyue: Uncle, you can’t lie, or you’ll get spanked.
Yu Xiaoyu: So, Second Master, you didn’t tell the truth to Sister Aning just now?
"..."
After hearing what the children said, Chen Guanghui felt a little embarrassed and explained to Song Anning with a wry smile.
"Hey, Master, you can't be angry with me. The rules of this competition are really strange. There are four boats going out to sea.
All the young men in the town were on the same boat, and the fare was twenty taels.
Everyone has their own room, and food and refreshments are provided. Even when you're beach fishing, someone will hold an umbrella and bring you water."
"anything else?"
Just now, Song Anning only saw a little bit using mind reading. Now that Chen Guanghui is willing to explain in detail, she naturally will not miss it.
"Also, the outsiders had two boats, one of which was similar to ours and cost thirty taels of silver.
The other boat is relatively simple, similar to an ordinary fishing boat, only slightly larger, and both cost 800 wen."
When Chen Guanghui said this, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved. This afternoon, he specially brought people to the Chamber of Commerce and reported the names of his master and children.
Since Song Anning was from another place, even though he had money, he would be assigned to the large ship reserved for outsiders. Chen Guanghui talked about this for a long time, and in addition to the registration fee, he spent an extra three hundred taels of silver to arrange it.
After a long discussion, they finally agreed.
When Chen Guanghui mentioned the registration fee, the children opened their mouths in surprise. How rich were these people? They spent twenty or thirty taels of silver just to go fishing?
Having just received fifteen taels of silver, they thought they could never spend it all. However, reality slapped them in the face. Fifteen taels of silver was not even enough to be considered rich.
This is how the world is. Identity, status, and money divide people into different classes. The sorrows of the poor are unimaginable to the rich, and similarly, the extravagance of the upper class is unimaginable to the common people.
"Thank you for your hard work. Here are five hundred taels, the registration fee and the handling fee.
We are in this together, and we can’t let you pay and work alone.”
Song An Ning took out five hundred taels of silver from her purse and placed it on the table. Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Song Zeyuan: My sister is so rich?
Song Anyue: Are the duck eggs at home so valuable?
When Chen Guanghui saw the banknote, he stood up and said anxiously:
"Master, what are you doing? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be participating in this competition.
If I accept this banknote, I will be mortally ashamed."
He snatched Song An Ning's purse, folded the banknote in half and put it in. He didn't say these things just now because he didn't want his master to think too much.
As everyone knows, every year in the fishing competition, there are people in the town who pay a high price to hire fishing masters to form a team, not for the bounty, but for the fame and face.
“Master is so good at fishing that no one can catch him no matter how much money they spend.
I am also lucky, I just hope Master doesn't look down on me, and don't mention the money anymore."
Seeing that he was so serious, Song An Ning didn't know what to say. She didn't like owing others anything.
Since he doesn't want the money, let's have a good competition in tomorrow's fishing competition so that Chen Guanghui's money will not be wasted.
Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous. The traps collected in the afternoon contained not only blue crabs, but also some small octopuses and sea cucumbers. Song Anning took all of them back and asked the kitchen to cook a full table.
Especially the mackerel and the bucket full of big blue crabs. The innkeeper even came over to ask if there were any left, and they would buy them at a high price.
Freshly caught seafood doesn’t require any complicated cooking. Just steam it and it will be very fresh and sweet even without any sauce.
Eating seafood in Linhai Town is about tasting the original flavor. Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue, who have hardly ever eaten seafood, couldn't believe that there are such delicious things in the world.
"Sister, I want to buy a pot of good wine for Grandpa and bring back some crabs."
"Sister Xiaoyu said sea cucumbers are very nutritious. I want to buy some for my aunt and mother so they can get better soon."
The two little ones talked about this to Song An Ning while eating. They had only been out for one day and they were already feeling homesick.
"Okay, buy them all. Eat slowly. Be careful not to get pricked by the crab shells..."
Song Anning peeled the crabs very patiently and distributed the crab meat to the children's bowls, but she didn't eat much herself.
No matter what, if you eat too much, you get tired of it. When the system upgrades, the boat will get bigger too. She also wants to go to the north sea to catch king crabs, so she doesn't want to be unable to eat more by then.
But the children thought that their elder sister was reluctant to eat the food and gave them all the good ones, which touched them deeply.
After eating and agreeing on a time for tomorrow, everyone dispersed.
After a tiring day, Song An Ning lay on the couch and didn't want to move, while the two children were full of energy, counting on their fingers what they had dug at the beach today, what they had done on the boat, and how many crabs they had eaten tonight.
There was a sound, and Song Anning couldn't sleep, so he opened the system panel and took a look.
Today, while taking fish out of the fish box, she asked Xiangxiang to collect a few fish. These were new species encountered at sea, so she naturally would not let them go.
Thinking about what Chen Guanghui said during dinner, she thought a lot more.
Fishing is not something that ordinary people can afford, but from what Chen Guanghui said, many nearby fishermen have signed up to participate. Once they catch a big fish, they can not only sell it for a good price, but also win a prize.
One thousand or two thousand taels is nothing to the young masters in the town, but for ordinary people, it is also an opportunity to change their fate.
If you are lucky, you won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
But would the Chamber of Commerce really let a commoner take the lead? She didn't know if it was her sixth sense playing tricks on her, but she had a feeling this trip wouldn't be smooth sailing.
As for what will happen, no one knows.
"Hurry up and go to bed. We are going to go fishing tomorrow and there will be a lot of people joining us.
If you don't get up tomorrow morning, you two will have to stay in the inn.
Also, if Sister isn't with you tomorrow, don't run around or talk to strangers."
"Don't worry, sister. We will stay by your side and won't run around."
"I want to go to sleep. I want to watch my sister fishing tomorrow!"
After saying that, the two little ones stopped tossing and turning, lay down on the bed obediently and fell asleep soon after.
Seeing that the two of them were asleep, Song Anning asked Xiangxiang to take out the fishing gear given by the system from her backpack and put it aside. Not only that, she also bought an extra set from the mall just in case.
"Master, are you going to sleep? Before you go to bed, Xiangxiang wants to tell you a good news.
Want to know? Come on, say something nice, hehehe..."
