"Look, look! Fresh big grass carps, each weighing ten kilograms. There are also bighead carps and big crucian carps. There are only ten black carps, first come first served."

Tang Qiyue lowered her voice, and the sound that came out when she shouted was hoarse.

She found the black carp when she was filling the bucket just now. She didn’t see it at all when she was fishing last time. She wondered if other kinds of fish could grow in this space?

Tang Qiyue didn't think too much about it because a customer had already come, and it was the two men she had talked to before.

"Wow! It's a really big fish! It not only looks fresh, but also so big. How much is one pound?" The man asked, rubbing his hands.

Tang Qiyue coughed twice and said, "I don't sell the fish I catch by the pound, but by the piece. You can choose. No matter how heavy a fish is, it only costs fifty cents."

Yes, she raised her prices.

After all, pork may not be out of stock during this winter, but it is torture for people who like to eat fish because fishing is simply not possible.

"Fifty cents a piece? No matter how heavy it is?" The man looked surprised. "Is that true?"

He obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Qiyue was quite speechless, and lifted the coarse cloth on the bamboo basket beside her, "Here are rabbits. If you don't want fish, you can also pick a rabbit and go."

"But rabbits are not cheap. One costs one hundred and twenty coins."

There are even rabbits for sale!

Although the big fish were still hesitating, the rabbit made those who were still watching on the sidelines rush over.

Tang Qiuyue collected copper coins with one hand and caught rabbits with the other. In a short while, she had sold more than fifty rabbits and two fish.

She was a little worried. If she didn't sell so many fish, it would be difficult to put them back into the space later.

Suddenly, Tang Qiyue licked her lips and remembered the taste of cured fish. Yes! She could make sausages and cured meat, so why not cured fish!

So Tang Qiyue set up a stall in the market for an hour. After selling more than a dozen rabbits and ten fish, Tang Qiyue decisively closed the stall, put the unsold rabbits into the space, and pushed the fish back to Baile Village in the wooden barrel.

"Why did you buy these fish, girl? Are you craving for fish? That's right! Zhaobao drinks fish soup, smart." Lin quickly took over the cart and did not ask how much silver these fish cost. She was thinking of steaming a fish every day for everyone to eat, and then stewing a fish head soup for Zhaobao.

Tang Qiyue shook her head, "Mom! Let's keep two of these fish to eat fresh, and make the rest into cured fish for the New Year."

When Lin heard the word "cured fish", she knew it was probably the same as the bacon hanging in the kitchen, so she immediately patted her chest and said, "Mom will do it, Mom will do it, you take a rest."

Since the new house was built, everyone eats at Tang's house except for meal time. The rest of the time they stay in their own house, warming themselves by the fire and doing other things.

When they heard that Lin was going to make cured fish, Aunt Fang and Zhao Sun hurried over to help. All the meals in the house were cooked by the three of them.

Tang Qiuyue was very happy. After handing the fish to Lin, she returned to her room, just in time to see Zhao Bao crawling around on the kang and a figure sitting on the edge of the kang.

Why is he here?

"There are differences between men and women. Mr. Xie, please don't enter my room." Tang Qiyue strode over with an unhappy look on her face.

Xie Changjin stared at Zhao Bao crawling around, and said without raising his head, "Just now I heard Zhao Bao calling for help, and no one came for a long time. I was worried that something happened to the child, so I came to check."

After hearing the explanation, Tang Qiyue's face changed.

I guess her mother coaxed Zhaobao to sleep and then went about her own business. She happened to come back to kill the fish and didn't hear Zhaobao's call.

"Thank you." No matter what, this person came for Zhao Bao, so Tang Qiyue could only put aside her previous unhappiness and thank him solemnly.

Quickly walking in front of Zhao Bao, Tang Qiyue reached out and held the happy little boy in her arms, pinching his nose and saying, "You naughty boy."

Xie Changjin still sat there motionless, watching Tang Qiyue teaching Zhao Bao in a low voice, and suddenly he felt dazed.

No matter how hard Tang Qiyue tried to ignore it, she couldn't ignore the gaze. She gritted her teeth secretly and could only say, "Thank you, Master."

"My name is Jin."

Tang Qiyue rolled her eyes silently, "We both know your name very well, so Mr. Xie doesn't need to pretend in front of me."

Xie Changjin stood up and asked, "Really?"

Tang Qiyue stared at him and said word by word, "Yes, Mr. Xie."

"I wonder when Mr. Xie's amnesia will be cured?"

"Are you not happy to see me?" Xie Changjin narrowed his eyes and approached her step by step.

Tang Qiyue was suddenly met with his cold and fierce gaze, and stepped back blankly. Without thinking, she stuffed the giggling Zhao Bao in his arms, "My son."

She didn't know why these three words suddenly popped up, as if she was afraid of something.

The person who was stuffed with the milk ball froze in his expression, holding his arms stiffly, "So what?"

"You have nothing to do all day, so please help me take care of him, and I won't charge you for accommodation and food." Tang Qiyue said with a smile. Zhao Bao, who was between the two of them, had no idea that he had been sent to someone else's arms by his mother. He was laughing and uttering a few words from time to time.

Tang Qiyue listened quietly, but found that Naituanzi had started calling people by their full names without him noticing, and the first name he called out was his mother's.

"Tang... July! Mother! July!"

Xie Changjin was also surprised.

Tang Qiyue was very satisfied and pinched Zhao Bao's cheek, "Smart son, I will reward you with a bowl of fish soup tonight."

Zhao Bao, who didn't understand, just kept clapping his hands and drooling.

"What do you think? Do you agree to what I just said?" Tang Qiyue's gaze fell on Xie Changjin's face again.

Xie Changjin nodded, "Okay."

Tang Qiyue often goes out, and he often helps to hold Zhaobao and play with Naituanzi. Now he has a legitimate reason.

It just so happened that this milk ball was quite pleasing to his eyes.

Tang Qiyue had no idea what was going on in this guy's mind, so she subconsciously patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's very loyal."

Successfully made Xie Changjin's face darken again, "Shut up."

Where Xie Changjin couldn't see, Tang Qiyue sticking out her tongue playfully.

Dusk was falling.

Everyone sat around a big wooden table, eating delicious dishes and chatting about interesting things they knew.

Tang Qiyue held Zhaobao, who had been craving for fish for a long time, and fed him small sips of the milky white fish soup. Zhaobao on her lap kept shouting as if he couldn't eat enough.

"Be good! Zhaobao, be good! Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." A few grains of salt were put into the fish soup, which made Zhaobao, who had been eating tasteless food, feel as if he had tasted something new and exotic. He wanted to grab some bowl to drink from it himself.

Tang Qiyue was amused by Naituanzi's anxious look and patted his round butt. "If Zhaobao doesn't behave, there will be no fish soup next time."

"Yes! Mom! I want to drink! I want to drink!"

"Baby, be good! Drink! Be good!"
