Chapter 84: You, Miss, Indeed Have Some Ability
With the aid of the cheat bait, she didn't take long before catching over ten fish; the lightest were all over two jin, and the largest grass carp exceeded five jin.
She had plans for the afternoon, so she didn't linger in the battle; after all, these fish added up to nearly forty jin, and if she kept fishing, it would likely attract attention again soon.
When leaving the hospital, she specifically borrowed three wooden buckets from the kitchen; adding the one she contributed, the four buckets fit perfectly on the tricycle.
After placing the wooden buckets on the tricycle, seeing the float move, she prepared to reel in and leave, but unexpectedly this one was a big catch; she played it for a full half hour before hauling it up.
Seeing someone on the opposite side constantly looking her way, that eager-to-act expression, she took it all in.
Adding this last one, it directly reached over sixty jin; she covered the tricycle with the tarp.
After tidying up, she made a run for it.
By the time the person on the opposite side took a detour over, Seeing Liu Chuxue was long gone; he stomped his feet in anger: "Sigh, late again."
He had noticed her yesterday, but with so many people surrounding her at the time, there was no chance for him to act; now that he finally found her, he still couldn't catch her; wanting to buy the fish from her hands, why is it so difficult?
With the tricycle, Seeing Liu Chuxue saved a lot of trouble.
On the way back, she truly mastered the tricycle; not to mention, it felt more rewarding than getting a driver's license in her past life.
As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, the assistant cook, Sister Wang, shouted: "Director, she's back, she's back."
Holding vegetables in her hands, she started gesturing there.
Director Zhang had been waiting here specifically, wanting to see if this Miss was bragging.
Hearing this voice, he quickly went outside.
Ignoring the greeting to Seeing Liu Chuxue, he rushed forward and tore open the tarp on the tricycle: "Did you really catch fish?"
After looking at each of the four buckets one by one, his eyes were full of sharp light: "Head Nurse Cheng really didn't lie; you, Miss, indeed have some ability."
After speaking, he shouted toward the kitchen: "Come a few people, hurry and carry the buckets inside; add dishes for dinner."
With many people, the strength was great; soon everyone swarmed into the kitchen.
Without Director Zhang needing to instruct, Chef Hao had already prepared the scale: "Come, come, come, catch the fish into this basin."
What they didn't expect was that these fish were very lively; it took a lot of effort before they finally managed to get all the fish into the basin.
Chef Hao looked at the scale, his face full of excitement: "Sixty-seven jin and three liang."
At this moment, except for Director Zhang, probably no one was happier than Chef Hao; after all, even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; seeing so many fish, it would be strange if he wasn't excited.
Normally there was fish supply, but the quantity was too small.
Making such a basinful, besides reserving some for connections, nothing was left; at the window, it would be snatched up in no time, causing those who queued for a long time but didn't get any to complain bitterly.
Grass carp and silver carp made up the majority inside, with only a few snakehead fish; Director Zhang thought briefly, then didn't call them comrades anymore: "Comrade Xiao Liu, look, is this okay? Don't calculate them separately; let's average it out and uniformly price at five mao, how about that?"
Seeing Liu Chuxue naturally had no objection; after all, in this era, grass carp was only about three mao seven or eight per jin; being able to get five mao was already a lot.
Seeing the other party was straightforward, she also smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you, Director Zhang."
Chef Hao on the side said with a smile: "After removing the skin, it's a total of sixty-one jin and one liang."
Seeing Liu Chuxue looked at Director Zhang: "Just settle for sixty jin."
She didn't say overly embellished words; after all, no one is a fool.
Director Zhang originally wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but thinking that the young Miss would send fish to the canteen again later, this wasn't a one-time deal, so he also said with a smile: "Then let's listen to Comrade Xiao Liu."
