Chapter 5418: All Money-loving
The financial officer He Tang thought for a moment and asked for another hundred soldiers, as well as some small fishing nets and other things.
Luo Bi did not have enough bamboo baskets, so the small fishing nets she made came in handy. The other things she made were useless because the river fish were too small and would leak when caught, making them unsuitable for catching small fish.
It would take time to gather all the small fishing nets, so Admiral Xiao Chi sent his adjutant to do it immediately.
That night, the small hunting team steamed and roasted the crabs. The children in Wucheng knew that two teams were coming and they would no longer be a small hunting team, so they stopped eating river shrimps.
Not only is it time-consuming to clean up small river shrimps, they are delicious, but they are not as fresh and fragrant as small crabs.
There was a lot of free time in the evening, so the children skewered small crabs and grilled them on the grill. They also grilled native crucian carp, braised fish, spicy fish, sweet and sour fish, etc. When the ingredients were served on the table, everyone's eyes lit up.
After sitting down, every ingredient tastes delicious and I am full after the whole meal.
The lieutenant general's adjutant and Luo Jie went to collect the bamboo baskets again and harvested 150 kilograms. Luo Bi wanted to throw away the pickles, but the financial officer didn't let her: "It's hard to see clearly at night, and we ran away most of the day. The pickles were wasted."
Okay, we are all money-grubbers, Luo Bi won’t be lost.
Qin Rong and the sergeant carried the basin back to the protective shield. Roger and the lieutenant general's adjutant placed five bamboo baskets in the water, stared at them for a while, and then walked back to the protective shield.
The treasurer's adjutant made a pot of tea, and Bai Juan washed and cut the watermelon.
After dinner, Fan Ji and Finance Officer Fan came over and sat down to chat and drink tea. The topic turned to fishing. Finance Officer Fan said, "I heard that you caught a lot of small crabs, which are very fresh and fragrant."
The financial officer He Tang poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning."
Financial Officer Fan stopped drinking tea and stood up and walked to several basins. The basins were filled with small crabs and river shrimps. Each basin was half full and there was not a single big crab.
Fan Ji took a breath, this catch was quite even.
"Is this all you caught?" Finance Officer Fan turned around and asked He Tang.
Could He Tang say that they had all been moved into the protective shield? No, he said, "We ate a lot."
"Our Fan Xian is lucky. Our Fan family's hunting team has caught a lot of delicious fish." Financial Officer Fan boasted about his young generation: "I'm not saying that some people are lucky because they have been lucky since they were young."
I don't know who he is stepping on, but he is belittling others just to brag about Fan Zhen's good luck.
He Tang smiled and didn't respond.
Luo Bi was curious about something, so she asked Fan Ji, "I heard that when Fan Qian stood by the river, crabs would run into the bucket. Is that true?"
Before Fan Ji could say anything, Finance Officer Fan would not miss such a good opportunity and said with a smile, "Fan Qian went to the river and caught a lot of crabs. She has been blessed since she was a child."
Luo Bi looked at this money-grubber and didn't see that he was talking nonsense. If Fan Xian's luck was so good, Luo Bi felt that she couldn't just stroll around for fun. She had to go to Xun River and catch all the shrimps and crabs she could.
Financial Officer Fan didn't take Luo Bi seriously and ignored her afterwards.
Roger was about to collect a batch of bamboo baskets, but the visitor refused to leave. He stood up from his chair and pretended to go to the Fan family's camp: "I'll go to your camp to see how the delicious fish I caught are doing."
Upon hearing this, Finance Officer Fan could not stay any longer. Worried that Roger was thinking about the gains of his hunting team, he hurriedly called Fan Ji to leave.
