Chapter 51 The Contest of Women

After the last fishing net was collected, Tang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. He silently placed the fishing net on the sheepskin raft, carried two baskets on the left-behind boatmen and said, "The fishing net is here for you, I'm going to go down."

When the boatman turned around, he was a little puzzled. He didn't see what Tang Ning had caught or what he had gained. Seeing that Tang Ning jumped onto the shore all of a sudden, he stopped asking and thought to himself that he probably didn't come online, otherwise he would have heard the news.

After everyone got ashore, the four of them immediately rowed a sheepskin raft back to the other side to pick up people.

Tang Ning looked at the sky and said, "We make a fire to make some food. They will go to another trip and it will be dark. I guess we will have to stay here for a night tonight."

There are two carts opposite, four donkeys, four people, and some luggage. At least two or three more trips.

Jiang's several sitting in a high-level place by the river rested. Tang Lao Er was busy tidying everyone's luggage and helping Tang Rou take care of the two children, saying, "The boatman who crossed the river said that the wind was tight recently and there were few people coming here. Today, it seems that only us are. If we haven't crossed the river before dark, we can stay here for a night.

I just picked up some firewood nearby, and the pot was also here, so I first boiled a pot of water. The water was made from the stone slugs there, which was relatively clean."

"Stone Wat?" Tang Ning walked over curiously and found that the so-called stone Wat is a bit like a well, not a well. The hole is very small and even a child cannot fall into it. It is located in a low-lying area by the river. There are circles of stones around it, blocking the river water.

Unlike the turbid water in the river, the water inside is filtered by gravels and left to settle down. It is very clean and can be drunk directly.

Tang Ning was immediately happy and joked with everyone: "With this water, I want to take a shower."

Li immediately shook his head, "It's okay to boil some water to wipe your body, but taking a bath is too troublesome. And it's the end of August, and it's so cold after the sun sets, so you can't mess around."

"Did you hear it?" Jiang stared at her seriously.

Tang Ning had no choice but to respond, turned around and took out the basket he had taken off the boat, and said, "Since we can't take a bath, we can always eat some good food. I'll give you some delicious food later."

Everyone was shocked when they saw the lively fish and shrimps in their backpacks.

Tang Zhong even squeezed into the first place in the first row and looked at Tang Ning with admiration, "Sister, my real sister, did you catch it with a fishing net for two cents? This......"

How does this feel like a dream?

Others also looked unreal, and they exchanged so much for two cents? Although they had never eaten river food or bought river food, according to the words of a few boatmen, river food is not so easy to catch, and it should not be cheap.

Tang Ning immediately grinned smugly, "So it's not unfair to spend these two cents. These things can earn at least a hundred cents when delivered to the market, not only those two cents, but also those twenty cents. At least we can think about how to go next, so that we won't even be able to make up where to go like a headless fly."

She said this but didn't expect Jiang to feel a knot in her heart. She felt that she could not keep the money and was worried about her.

Sure enough, Jiang's expression became much better after hearing this. Li was still praising Tang Ning, but Jiang could not say anything.

In fact, even if she wanted to say it, she didn't know what to say. Now she didn't even know how many copper coins Tang Ning had in her hands. There was no one else to be like this.

"If you don't say it, I want to ask, and I don't know if what the boatmen said just now is true. There are so many people and luggage, and four donkey carts are just right. If it is done, I don't know what to do. Besides, how can we get on the road without the donkey cart?

In addition, if you can't sell these three pots in one piece, you can't sell them here, so you can't throw them away!" Jiang's face was full of sorrow and anxious.

Tang Ning was calm and thought, "I'll go out to explore again when it's dark. We sell two pots and two donkeys. We can keep the carts and push them."

"You sell it? How do you sell it?" Li asked in a hurry than Jiang.

Tang Ning was calm and pondered: "My uncle, you don't know me yet! I have no other skills, but I still have a brain for doing business. In addition, I have great strength and good eyes. It is easier to find a way to change the donkey and a big pot for food. Just don't worry, wait until my father and others come over to deal with it."

After Tang Ning asked these words, the two of them felt much more at ease. Jiang thought of dealing with the fish and shrimps first. When she was about to take action, she and Li were both stunned for a moment. The two of them looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.

"That... Xiaozao's mother, you are very knowledgeable, why don't you teach me how to kill fish?" Jiang licked his dry lips and took the initiative shamelessly.

Li's eyes immediately widened, and the bare-spoken spread his hands, "I haven't eaten it before! I can't get it!"

"What's the matter?" Jiang looked at the fish and shrimps in his backpack and was in trouble. He was rare to want to be extravagant, but he couldn't do it. He could make people laugh at him all year round if he told him.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Li suggested weakly: "Otherwise we cook it directly, it should be fine!"

Jiang always felt something was wrong and couldn't say it. Just when she was hesitating, Tang Ning's head came over and looked at the two women strangely, "What are you doing?"

"I won't do it..." Jiang said honestly.

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment before patting his head in annoyance, "Blame me for blame me, I'm not careful. I've seen fish-selling fish killers at the ferry. I'll teach you."

The two women's eyes lit up and immediately followed Tang Ning to the side. Seeing Tang Ning take out the knife that Tang Junsheng used to work, Jiang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say a word to stop him. He watched Tang Ning clumsyly pack up a fish.

After she finished killing a fish, she realized that her back was wet. She couldn't help but complain: "This killing of fish is much more tiring than hunting!"

"What nonsense!" Jiang pushed Tang Ning away and got started.

Not to mention cooking skills, it also depends on talent. It is the first time to kill fish. Jiang is obviously much more demanding than Tangning. Li, who also killed fish for the first time, also compared Tangning to fiercely.

The two women were very superior, and they became more and more active as they killed each other, and even secretly competed. But in a moment, all the fish that Tang Ning had made were packed, and the two were still unsatisfied. Finally, under Tang Ning's trick, they pulled out all the shrimp threads of the river shrimp.

Tang Ning looked at these clean-processed river food with satisfaction, and tried his best to flatter Jiang and Li.

The two women were so excited that they wanted to slaughter a few more fish. Their eyes were so cunning that Xiaozao and Tang Zhong were so scared that they didn't dare to come to them.
