Chapter 252
A great harvest
Jing Yi saw Xiao Yilin's movements without stopping her. It was a good thing that her boyfriend was so attentive. She had to encourage him and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Yilin blushed and said, "Girls should stay away from cold water and be careful of getting cold. After catching so many fish, you can take a rest and I'll ask them to clean up the fish."
Jing Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll leave these fishes to you. Brother Xiao, help me cut some grass, and I'll make a basket to put the fish in."
Xiao Yilin took a knife and quickly cut a lot of taller grass. Then the two of them worked together. Xiao Yilin helped Jingyi clean up the grass leaves and leave the grass stems. Jingyi quickly made a basket with the grass stems.
Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "I didn't expect that my family Jing Yan was so skillful and could weave such a beautiful basket using local materials."
Jing Yi smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, are you so sweet after eating honey that you can say nice things?"
Xiao Yilin said in a serious tone: "I don't mean to sound nice. This is the truth, okay? Ask others when I have praised others."
Jing Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I understand, Brother Xiao is the best at seeking truth from facts."
The two of them joked a bit, and Xiao Yilin put all the fish on the shore into a basket and said, "I'm going to let those boys pick up these fish. If you can't catch any fish, you have to pick them up."
Xiao Yilin packed a basket of fish and sent it to a group of soldiers over there who were still struggling in the lake.
The soldiers who had not caught any fish here were very curious when they saw their prince coming with a basket.
Xiao Yilin came closer and shouted: "Stop catching fish, come up and clean up these fish. Let's grill the fish later."
When everyone heard that there were fish, they all came ashore with joy and were surprised to see the baskets full of fish.
A soldier asked: "My lord, you captured this?"
Xiao Yilin replied: "This was caught by Anlehou. I'm counting on you. I guess I won't be able to eat a fish even after dark. Clean it up quickly. Come with me alone. There are still fish over there. They have been brought over to clean up today."
You can have a full dinner tonight.”
Everyone was very happy, "Anlehou is really amazing. We didn't catch any of them, but Anlehou caught so many by himself. It's really incomparable."
Take one person to get the remaining fish, and the remaining people start killing the fish.
When Xiao Yilin arrived at Jingyi's side, Jingyi had almost finished weaving another basket.
Xiao Yilin asked the soldiers to take away the remaining fish, then cut some grass and continued to help Jingyi handle the grass leaves.
Jingyi finished weaving a basket and then started weaving baskets, which were used to catch fish.
Someone nearby saw that Jing Yi was no longer able to catch fish with bare hands, so she could only use this basket to catch fish.
It would be best for them to catch more fish here and bake them into dried fish to eat on the road.
The two people worked together and quickly made two baskets and several small fish baskets.
Jingyi put a small piece of dry steamed bread into each fish basket, and then lowered the fish baskets into the lake separately. She waited to collect the fish later. Even if there were no fish, Jingyi would use her power to let the water plants send some.
The fish goes into the fish basket.
In the evening, they lit two bonfires in the temporary camp, and then the soldiers sat around the bonfires and grilled fish to eat. Fish soup was also boiled in the only small iron pot that Jingyi brought with him.
Xiao Yilin grilled two fish and brought them to Jingyi first, "Jing Yan, come, let's eat grilled fish. I'm good at grilling fish. You can try it."
Jing Yi saw that the fish wrapped in branches in Xiao Yilin's hand was grilled golden and looked really good. "Brother Xiao, don't patronize me. You can eat it too. Let's take one each."
Jingyi was looking at the fish soup, and the two of them were sharing the delicious grilled fish next to the stove.
Jingyi took a bite of the grilled fish and it tasted really good. He nodded and gave a thumbs up and said, "Well, Brother Xiao, this grilled fish is really good. It tastes very good."
Listening to the little girl's praise, Xiao Yilin felt as sweet as honey, "It's delicious and I'll bake it for you later. There are so many fishes for us to eat today."
Jing Yi said: "After dinner, let's go to the lake to look at the fish baskets. There should be fish. Let's grill some more dried fish tonight and take them with us on the road."
Several soldiers beside the bonfire glanced secretly at Xiao Yilin and the others, and they felt murmuring when they saw the two of them behaving so intimately.
Some people are thinking that their prince really likes men like Long Yang? But a handsome and capable man like Anlehou is indeed attractive to people.
Jingyi brought salt and other seasonings, and both grilled fish and fish soup were delicious. Everyone finally had their first full meal in these days. Everyone grilled the remaining fish and saved them for tomorrow.
Even Tuoba Liansheng felt very good because of this rare delicious food.
After the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they lay on the ground chatting and resting.
Jing Yi and Xiao Yilin went to the place where the fish baskets were placed.
Xiao Yilin asked Jingyi to wait on the shore. He went down to the lake and picked up the fish basket. Unexpectedly, the fish basket was filled with fish.
Xiao Yilin shouted in surprise: "Jing Yan, there are a lot of fish."
Jing Yi was also very happy, "I guess no one has ever caught fish in this lake, so these fish are very stupid."
Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "It's better to be stupid, provide us with more dry food."
The next four fish baskets were almost full of fish, and two people returned home fully loaded. Each carried two baskets of fish back to the camp.
Xiao Yilin shouted to his soldiers: "Come and collect these fish. We will bake the fish in a while."
The soldiers were full and strong. When they heard that there were fish again, they all stood up happily, took the fish basket and poured the fish into the basket made by Jingyi before.
Everyone cheered, "Wow, there are so many fish, now there is something to eat."
With these fish, they won't have to starve on their way back.
The soldiers carried baskets to the lake farther away to collect fish.
Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi carried the fish baskets and went to the lake to set up fish baskets, hoping to catch more fish to make dry food tomorrow.
Everyone quickly packed up the fish and started grilling the fish next to the campfire. The small iron pot was also used to bake the dried fish. Everyone worked hard to make the fish into dried fish.
Seeing that there is more and more food, everyone feels more at ease.
After grilling the fish, everyone lay down by the campfire to rest.
Xiao Yilin also asked Jingyi to lie down and rest. After all, she was on the road and busy catching fish for cooking that day. The little girl must be exhausted. Grass was spread under the two of them. Xiao Yilin also spread his cloak on it.
Let Jingyi lie down on the green grass.
Xiao Yilin arranged for the soldiers to be on duty in shifts and to alert them immediately if there was any movement.
He lay down next to Jing Yi and guarded the little girl, "Jing Yan, go to bed when you are tired. I will guard you."
Jing Yi said: "Didn't you arrange for the soldiers to take turns on duty? You should go to sleep too. Let's not rush on the road tomorrow. Let's get more dried fish to eat on the road. But we can only stay for one more day.
Now that the war with Beiyan is not over yet, you have to go back and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm not sleepy anyway, you go to sleep first, I will call you in the middle of the night, and you keep vigil. This way you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully.
