"You've just come back from work. Go up and rest first. You can eat anytime.”
The chef who cooked the banquet was also working hard. It was such a hot day and he had to be responsible for so many tables of dishes.
Jiang Ping was cooking alone. How tiring!
The masters urged Jiang Ping to go upstairs to rest. Jiang Ping's heart was warm, and he didn't force himself.
Burning the banquet was indeed quite tiring. If he wasn't young, he might not have been able to hold on burning so many tables at once.
"Alright, I'll go up and rest for a while."
He had just received the system reward.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received a random reward: Universal Kitchen Knife x1
receive the reward
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up when he saw this kitchen knife. It was really a peerless knife!
Looking at the smooth curve of the back of the knife, it was really a beautiful line.
Looking at the blade that was emitting a cold light, he could tell that it was very sharp.
He really lacked a suitable saber now.
As a chef who cooked a banquet, how could he not have someone to cook for him?
For chefs, they relied on good culinary skills to gain a foothold. A good kitchen knife could give a chef a lot of points.
Jiang Ping played with the kitchen knife in his hand and couldn't put it down. He wanted to immediately take the kitchen knife into the kitchen and cook a few dishes.
With a new kitchen knife in his hand, his fatigue was instantly swept away. His waist was no longer sore, and he was no longer tired.
Hearing the noise downstairs, Jiang Ping opened the window curiously and looked down.
"Little Jiang, do you want to open the pond to catch fish and lobsters?”
A few uncles were wearing fish-catching outfits, and their trousers were covered in mud. It was obvious that they had just come up from the pond.
He was still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, looking like he had gained a lot.
"Which pond did you go to?”
Jiang Ping was really interested. What was the most indispensable thing in summer?
That must be crayfish!
There were a few families in the village who had rented ponds and raised fish, lobsters, and everything else. Some even raised crabs.
Now was the time for the fish to mature. Usually, when the owner went to the pond to catch fish, there would be people in the village who would go to watch and help out. Then, they would buy some on the spot.
Jiang Ping had heard the villagers talk about such a lively thing before, but he had never seen it on the spot. Of course, he had to go and take a look.
"Scholar Jiang, you know him, right?"
Jiang Ping really knew. Jiang Xue was quite famous in the village. His family owned a fish pond and was quite rich. The young man was also quite good-looking. He was only 30 years old and didn't look for a partner every day.
In the countryside, this age was considered an unmarried man. Even Jiang Ping, who didn't know anyone, had heard of this person's name and knew the location of his family.
"I know. I'll be right there."
Jiang Ping changed his clothes, put on his rain boots, and went downstairs.
" Uncle, I'm going to buy some crayfish. Why don't we eat crayfish tonight?"
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already left with his bamboo basket on his back.
The workers shook their heads in amusement when they saw how excited he was.
He was still a child!
He usually looked quite steady, but when he joined in the fun, he would be exposed.
The masters turned around and saw the two young apprentices stammering. It was obvious that they wanted to watch the show.
"You guys should go over and watch the show too."
The masters waved their hands and let him go. It was useless to stay. Their thoughts had run far away.
The older ones had seen too much and were not interested in the excitement of fishing in the pond. The young people could not resist this kind of thing.
" Alright, Master, we'll be right back!"
After saying that, he had already run far away.
When Jiang Ping arrived at the place, he saw many people in the pond collecting fishing nets from afar. A group of people stood on the shore watching the show.
There were also several fish trucks beside them.
As soon as Jiang Ping appeared, many people greeted him.
"Xiaojiang is back."
"What a coincidence. Little Jiang hasn't seen anyone go into the pond to fish.”
"Little Jiang, you're here to buy fish.”
"I was thinking that I would call you if you didn't come back today.”
Jiang Xue and his son had both gone into the pond. The aunt was helping to weigh the fish on the shore. When she saw Jiang Ping carrying a bamboo basket over, it was obvious that he wanted to buy fish.
"Xiaojiang, what do you want?"
There were many huge buckets on the ground, and there were many fish in them. They were all alive and kicking, and there were several pots of lobsters on the ground.
Those small and immature fish and prawns would be picked out and thrown back into the pond.
"Auntie, I want 10 catties of crayfish. Whatever fish you want, give me two.”
Jiang Ping didn't want much. This kind of fish that had just been caught could be bought and raised in a water tank. When he wanted to eat it, he could kill it. It could be raised for a long time.
Therefore, when the villagers came across ponds to catch fish, they would buy some back to raise and eat slowly.
This kind of pond fishing was not common. Only when the fish were ripe and sold would the contractor come to transport the fish.
Jiang Ping's eyes were finally opened. Looking at the countless fish jumping around in the fishing net, his mind was filled with recipes about fish.
pickled fish, boiled fish, fried fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish
"There are also small fish here. Since your cooking skills are good, I'll bring them back for you.”
The aunt enthusiastically helped Jiang Ping pack and weigh them. However, there were too many of them, and Jiang Ping couldn't carry them back.
Coincidentally, two apprentices of the renovation master ran over.
"Fortunately, you guys came. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to carry it back.”
"Brother Xiaojiang, you bought so much?"
"Not much. If it weren't for the fact that we don't have any space at home, I would have bought more.”
"Don't worry. The crab pond in the village will open in a month.”
Jiang Ping listened to the surrounding aunties and thought that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in another month.
Crabs would be the world around the Mid-Autumn Festival. They would be in for a treat then.
Thinking of this, he almost drooled.
