Chapter 1716: The Fish Struck by Lightning

The threadfin fish is the one that was struck by lightning during its tribulation earlier; it takes a fish weighing over 100 jin to produce just one jin of maw.

For every 10 jin of fish, there is one tael of maw. The most valuable part of the entire threadfin fish is its fish maw!

Threadfin fish maw is second only to the top-tier yellow croaker maw, ranking in second place.

Ye Yaodong has been fishing for so long, and hasn't caught a Huangchun fish yet.

There is an old saying that if a child in the family is in poor health, as long as they eat one threadfin fish maw, within a year, they will grow significantly taller and their body will become stronger.

It has been stored for several years, but this fish glue is more valuable the longer it is stored, and it is more nourishing the older it is.

Its storage method has continued for hundreds of years, in the past, people by the sea usually put it at the bottom of the rice jar, store it for a few years, and they also did the same.

Lin Xiuqing said: "I'll flip it, you don't know which corner it's in."

Ye Chenghu asked curiously, "What is a threadfin fish? Why do we have to eat threadfin fish maw?"

"Because you are short, worried about inheriting your mother, it is said that if the father is short, it is short one, if the mother is short, it is short a nest."

Ye Fu was chopping chicken pieces and nodded seriously, "What is said is also correct."

Ye Mu rolled her eyes, "It seems like you are very tall, do you have a fist higher than me?"

"I am taller than you anyway."

"Laughing to death, if you are shorter than me, then that's incredible?"

The old couple were bickering here, Lin Xiuqing also protested, "Where am I short?"

Ye Yaodong didn't answer her, changed the topic, "Take it out and soak it in rice washing water for a night, cut it into pieces tomorrow morning and stew a small pot of porridge in a sand pot for them to eat."

"Alright, then I'll get up early tomorrow and stew it for them to eat."

The old lady answered, "Don't need you, you sleep your sleep, I'll stew it. I'm old and have less sleep, get up early, you young people have more sleep, sleep a little longer."

Ye Chenghu asked interestingly: "Dad, can I grow taller after eating it? Are you also grown taller by eating this?"

"Do you think this is Chinese cabbage? That fish glue is one jin, at least exchange for a big house in the provincial capital."

It was just that he had a lot of money in his hand now, so he didn't feel distressed when eating it.

"So expensive!!!"

"Dad, can I grow taller after eating it, and then pull, and become beautiful and thin?" Ye Xiaoxi asked excitedly.

"You are growing now, if you are tall, you will naturally be thin."

Ye Chengyang asked: "Is it really that magical, can you grow taller after eating it?"

"It is said so, but who knows? It's not like you eat it today and grow ten centimeters tomorrow, treat it as a magic medicine? Just listen to it, better to believe it exists than not, eat it first, can also satisfy the mouth. Anyway, it was caught by your dad at sea, stew it for you to eat early tomorrow morning."

Lin Xiuqing asked: "Can't eat it at night? Isn't eating supplements all eaten at night?"

"Also okay, then cut it into small strips, and then put it in a sand pot to stew with rice wine, don't cook porridge."

Ye Xiaoxi said: "I am a child, can't drink alcohol."

"A little bit is fine, anyway, it's rice wine made by ourselves."

Ye Yaodong spoke while pasting the couplets on both sides, and stood on tiptoe to paste the couplets on the door head.

Ye Chenghu also tried to stand on tiptoe on the side, stretched his fingers, and felt that he was a bit short.

"Mom, then you hurry up and find it."

"What's the hurry? Have to finish killing these fish, can't you grow taller if you don't finish it in a while?"

"Hehe..."

Ye Fu said: "Dongzi, you are taller, you go to the new house, and paste the couplets there by the way."

"The door head there is high, I can't reach it even if I stand on tiptoe, still have to move the ladder, wait until you finish chopping the chickens and ducks here and go over to paste the couplets together."

"Then I'm fast here."

Lin Xiuqing went to scoop fish glue in the rice granary after killing the fish, all three children were very curious, all followed behind her.

This fish glue was considered a "heavyweight" player, just taken out and held in hand, the sense of weight was full, pressing the hand heavily, one look knew it was thick.

It still had the gentle fragrance of rice, deep amber, hard as a board.

Lin Xiuqing took the fish glue and knocked on the rice granary, making a "bang bang" crisp sound similar to knocking on hard wood, this was a sign that the water was completely evaporated and the glue was highly concentrated.

"Is this it? It looks too ugly?"

She reached out to take it and knocked on Ye Chenghu's head, "Dislike it ugly, then don't eat it?"

Ye Chenghu touched his forehead, "It's really quite hard, it won't be crispy and easy to break, no wonder it needs to be soaked for a night, we start soaking now in the morning, can we stew it at night?"

"Hmm."

Ye Xiaoxi, driven by curiosity, grabbed Lin Xiuqing's hand, let the threadfin fish maw in her hand tap her own head, and then said happily.

"Really very hard, won't break."

"You try to bite it with your teeth and see?" Ye Chengyang instigated.

"I'm not stupid, why don't you tell Big Brother to bite it and see?"

Ye Chenghu said unhappily: "You are not stupid, am I stupid?"

Lin Xiuqing ignored the three childish ones, first soaking the threadfin fish maw, and then shooing them out to play so they wouldn't be underfoot.

Now there were enough adults, and they didn't need these children.

Ye Yaodong asked her by the way, "Is the fish glue of the deep-sea giant eel I caught a few years ago still there?"

"Sent a few to people, moved a few for our own body, there is still a little bit."

"Take a few out to stew for New Year's Eve today as well. We adults will eat the eel maw, and the children can eat that threadfin fish maw."

"Also okay, this eel glue doesn't need to be soaked for a long time, soak it in the afternoon, soak it for a while and stew it."

"Flip through the good things in the family, take out what should be cooked, don't be reluctant, otherwise you will forget to eat it after a long time."

"I'll flip through it and see, it should be nothing, mostly it's being consumed."

"Hmm."

"Dad, didn't you say you are going to the city today?"

"Not going today, tonight is New Year's Eve, returned late this year, it's too tossing to go back and forth."

"Oh, then not going to godfather's place?"

"Hmm, call to pay an early New Year greeting in a while, let you say a few words too?"

"Good, then when are we going to the city? Still going to drive the small car?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow, the second day of the New Year, we will go to the city, pay a New Year greeting, then take you to play in the city, on the third day we will transport the small car back, how about it?"

"Good good, then I want to take my toys, I agreed with Xiaoli in the courtyard, to share toys with her."

"Alright."

Ye Chenghu said hurriedly: "Dad, I also want to go to the city with you to drive the small car!"

Ye Chengyang also looked eagerly, "I want to too!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the three, a bit difficult for a while, but not taking one and taking the other two, it was not reasonable.

"Then this way, if you want to go, take your mother with you, anyway, the small car needs to be transported back by boat. When the time comes, hoist it down at the freight pier in the town, a few people sit in the small car, and let the family send a tractor to pull the rest back."

He definitely couldn't just go to drive with his dad, he had to call the two brothers, and call a few friends to go together, so it was stable, and if there was anything, there would be people who could help.

Ye Xiaoxi raised her hand, "I want to sit in the small car!"

Ye Chenghu raised to the top of his head, "I also want to sit in the small car."

Ye Chengyang also followed and raised, "I want to too."

"Can, all can, when the time comes, let your mother sit in the back row, I sit in the passenger seat, your grandfather drives, when the time comes, drive from the town back to the village. Others send a tractor to pick up."

The three nodded in unison.
