Leisurely mountain village

Ye Huan held up a turtle bigger than a washbasin to the camera, saying, "Look, this thing is huge, isn't it?"

The viewers in the live stream were so envious they cried, tears streaming down their faces.

"Hehe, wait a minute? There seem to be words on its back?" Ye Huan turned the turtle over so the shell was facing the camera, and everyone could see it. "It looks like the character for 'longevity'?"

Some netizens noticed this and commented.

"Doesn't it look like the Chinese character for 'longevity'?" Ye Huan asked the camera.

"Looks like we can't eat them yet. Let's take them back and raise them. There's nothing in the little pond in the yard."

After placing the turtle down, I started baiting the hook and casting again. I sat down and waited for a fish to bite while talking to Jingjing, "Jingjing, is fish meat tastier, shrimp meat tastier, or pork meat tastier?"

"Uncle, the chicken leg is delicious." Jingjing replied quietly, she couldn't understand Ye Huan's question. Of course, how many children could resist a big chicken leg?

The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter, completely stunned.

"Coming, coming!" Ye Huan, who was chatting, suddenly shouted when he felt the fishing rod in his hand. More than ten minutes had passed since then.

Netizens got excited again. Although not all of them are fishing enthusiasts, many people were still willing to watch when they saw that there was a catch.

Seeing how much effort Ye Huan was putting into catching it, the netizens were incredibly anxious. Ye Huan also felt it; this time, the creature was even bigger, and if he hadn't practiced before, he might not have been able to get it up there.

"Wow, what a sight!" After a struggle that lasted for more than ten minutes, Ye Huan was stunned to see the big guy come ashore.

He stopped holding it, went straight over, took the phone down, and shone it on the ground. "Whoa!" came the unanimous response from the live stream audience.

A bighead carp, even bigger than the one Ye Dacai just caught, has been identified by experienced netizens who estimate its weight: "At least 30 jin (15 catties)."

"No, I estimate it's around 33 or 34 jin."

Ye Huan was speechless. What was going on with this pond today? He really hadn't cheated; he hadn't used any spiritual spring water.

Villagers often fish here, but it's rare to see something like this today. It's one thing to have a bighead carp weighing over ten kilograms, but now there's a turtle the size of a washbasin, and another bighead carp weighing at least 30 kilograms.

Ye Huan estimated that the bighead carp weighed at least 30 jin (15 catties), it was too big.

However, he wouldn't carry Fatty around the town. He quickly packed up his things and called to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, go back and get help. I can't drag him away."

Xiao Bai nodded and darted away in a flash. Ye Huan, holding Jing Jing, sat there waiting for them.

Soon after, we saw Grandpa arrive on an electric tricycle with Saihu and Xiaobai.

"Wow, this guy's not small at all," Grandpa said with a smile when he saw Fatty.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened today. Uncle Eleven just caught one that weighs at least fifteen or sixteen pounds, so I thought I'd try fishing too, and sure enough, I caught one." Ye Huan laughed, then picked up the fish and tossed it into the back seat of the tricycle.

Then he took out the turtle, saying, "Grandpa, look, there's another one."

"This turtle..."

"Is there a 'longevity' character on its back? Grandpa, let's keep it in the pond when we get back," Ye Huan said with a smile. Then he put the things in the tricycle, and Grandpa rode off while he carried Jingjing behind him, heading back home.

The live stream on my phone was over; I was going to go fishing when I got back. I didn't care how many people were in the chat room. I just said, "That's all for today's live stream," and then ended the broadcast.

He didn't see the messages in his private messages about many bosses wanting to buy turtles and fathead turtles, so he was unaware of it.

Netizens are helpless about this kind of idiot streamer, but they just love watching him. They can't help it. While complaining about the streamer, they obediently click to follow him so they won't get lost.

When I got home, I first carried the big turtle into the pond in the yard. Right now, there's nothing else besides a few small shrimps and snails.

Standing up, the characters on the turtle's back are even more vivid. Ye Huan sees them as a large "longevity" character.

He dragged Fatty down. "Grandpa, fish head tofu for dinner? We can't finish this fish in one meal."

"Okay, let's make fish head stew with tofu. I'll go buy some tofu." Grandpa strolled out again. There are tofu makers in the village, and villagers who want to eat tofu can buy a piece or two.

There are many elderly people and children in the village, and surprisingly, the tofu sells quite well every day.

Ye Huan started killing fish. As mentioned before, he had been doing these kinds of chores since he was a child, including killing chickens, rabbits, and even sheep and pigs.

He chopped off the fish head first, then split it open. He had seen that one fish head could be used to stew a whole pot of fish.

Then start slicing the fish, removing the bones, and chopping it into small pieces. Also, the tail will be deep-fried later and kept for a few days. We'll take it out and braise it tomorrow.

The fish was cut into slices, which could be used to stir-fry the fish slices or make sauerkraut fish. However, there was too much fish, and it was definitely not enough to eat today. So he cut two pounds of fish meat and put it in a bag.

"Xiaobai, deliver this to Xiaotangyuan's house." He hung the bag around Xiaobai's neck; thankfully, there wasn't much.

Xiao Bai ran out, but Ye Huan ran back while he was washing it.

After Ye Huan finished washing the fish head and bones, her mother and the others returned from their chores and started preparing dinner.

"Where did such a big fish head come from?" Dad put down his hoe, looked at the fish head in the basin, and asked.

"I caught it in the pond at the village entrance. Grandpa said he'd stew the fish head with tofu for dinner. Mom, you can make this," Ye Huan said.

"I'll do it," Bai Jie said, taking the food. Ye Huan nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, you're good at cooking, you do it."

"Let's eat the fish bones and tail tomorrow, fry them up, and stir-fry the fish meat with pickled peppers?" Bai Jie said.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can make it however you like. Also, is there chicken for dinner? Jingjing wants some chicken legs." Ye Huan asked.

"There's still half left to cook. Let's stew some mushrooms today. This girl's getting picky," Bai Jie said.

"No, I asked her, hehe." Ye Huan told everyone about her conversation with Jingjing, and everyone laughed. Jingjing buried her head in her uncle's arms shyly.

“Jingjing wants to stay in a cabin in the mountains with me tonight,” Ye Huan added.

"Won't you catch a cold?" Ye Huan's mother asked.

"No, I slept here yesterday, the temperature was just right, a light blanket is enough."

“Okay, after dinner I’ve washed her up. When you go over, take her with you. She’s a fairly well-behaved sleeper.” Bai Jie nodded.

"Okay~"

When Grandpa came back, he brought two pieces of tofu, and Bai Jie started cooking, with Mom helping out.

Ye Huan and his two children were chatting in the yard. Ye Huan's father was mainly talking about things, such as the custom-made shelves and greenhouses, the delivery of vegetables, and what the other party said to him.

Ye Huan didn't mind. "Dad, you can make the decision yourself. I don't understand these little things. I just want to say one thing: the quality has to be good, and we have to consider the heavy snow in winter so that the greenhouse won't collapse."
