Chapter 331: A Bountiful Harvest

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: A Bountiful Harvest

"Eight of them, eh?" Old Liu nodded contently, thrilled to bits, and hurriedly said, "Let’s go, let’s go home. We’ve made a fortune this time!"

"Mhm!"

Old Li was also quite excited, following Old Liu in a rush to get home.

Watching the three leave, Ye Chen sighed inwardly, feeling a bit dejected.

Although Ye Chen wasn’t short of those few fish, the total value of those fish was quite considerable, and to give them up like that was truly a waste.

What’s more, he had already promised Old Liu and the others—if he broke his word, he would be looked down upon.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Chen quickened his pace to catch up with Old Liu and the others, saying, "Old Liu, hold on, I want to buy fish too."

"Ye Chen, I know you mean well, but buying them like this, they’re hardly worth anything!" Old Liu persuaded.

"It’s fine, just take me there. If it’s not suitable, I’ll just switch them out!" Ye Chen insisted earnestly.

"Sigh... alright then, catch up quickly!" Old Liu gestured helplessly.

Ye Chen followed them to a fish pond, a vast pond teeming with various types of freshwater fish, carp, and crucian carp, etc., too many to count at a glance.

"Ye Chen, why did we come here?" Old Liu asked, puzzled.

Old Li was also baffled—they were here to fish, not to catch fish!

Ye Chen explained with a smile, "Old Liu, Grandpa Li, I caught some fish last night!"

"What?!"

Old Li and Old Liu were both astonished, and Old Liu urgently asked, "Ye Chen, how did you catch the fish? You didn’t smash them with a fishing rod, did you?"

"How could that be?" Ye Chen replied with a wry smile, "I used a net, the fish jumped in themselves."

After saying that, Ye Chen took out a carrying basket and handed it to Old Liu and Old Li.

When they saw four fish inside the carrying basket, Old Liu and Old Li were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Ye Chen without a word.

This... they actually caught fish! And four fish in one go! This luck is just too incredible!

After a while, Old Li swallowed hard, exclaiming in shock, "How did this happen? How could you just coincidentally have fish jump into your basket?"

"Grandpa Li, did you forget I study medicine? I know a bit about the patterns of fishing," said Ye Chen with a smile.

Old Liu was also full of admiration, saying, "Ye Chen, you’re really something, catching four fish at once. These are no ordinary fish, I guess they’re worth at least ten thousand yuan, enough for us to improve our lives for a while!"

Hearing this, Old Li was suddenly overjoyed, patting Ye Chen’s arm and saying, "Ye Chen, you’re amazing, the most capable in our village!"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Ye Chen said, "Grandpa Li, Old Liu, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t use a fishing rod."

Hearing this, Old Liu and Old Li exchanged glances, both revealing surprised expressions, not understanding what Ye Chen was up to.

"Hehe... Old Liu, Grandpa Li, just sit and rest for a bit, I’m going to find a bucket to scoop the fish," said Ye Chen with a honest smile, turning around to enter the house and find an empty bucket in the kitchen.

"Ye Chen, are you planning to sell these fish?" Old Liu asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"No," Ye Chen shook his head.

Hearing this, Old Liu and Old Li stopped talking and patiently waited.

Soon after, Ye Chen came out holding a plastic bucket.

"Why is this bucket so small?" Seeing the bucket, Old Liu and Old Li were somewhat confused, not knowing what Ye Chen was up to.

After placing the bucket down, Ye Chen ran back into the house and came out less than three minutes later with a wooden basin.

"What’s that?"

Ye Chen brought over the wooden basin, then crouched down and poured water from the bucket into the basin.

He then took out a tissue to wipe off the water droplets before covering the basin.

"What’s this young fellow up to!" Old Liu muttered, frowning.

Ye Chen ignored them, re-entered the house, and soon brought out a stone slab.

Ye Chen poured all the fish into the fish tank and then placed the stone slab into the water.

Then, Ye Chen bent his knees to kneel on the ground, his arms crossed and propped on his knees, and began to pound the stone slab with his fists.

Boom! Rumble!

Bursts of water splashed from the stone slab.

After about a minute of pounding, the stone slab suddenly cracked.

Crack! Crack!

Accompanied by several crisp sounds, a crack appeared on the originally smooth stone slab, and then they became more numerous.

Bang!

Finally, the stone slab couldn’t withstand the pressure and completely shattered.

Splash!

A group of carp rushed out, competing to escape.

"Holy shit! There really are fish!" Old Liu and Old Li both widened their eyes, utterly shocked!

They had thought the stone slab was a fake, but to their surprise, it was real!

Ye Chen stood up smiling and said, "Old Liu, Old Li, how do you like my fish?"

"It’s freaking amazing, just like magic!" Old Li exclaimed in amazement, "With such fish, forget ten thousand, even two hundred thousand, people would clamor to buy!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen was overjoyed.

"Ha-ha, Little Chen is really impressive!" Old Liu couldn’t help but praise.

"Dad, Mom, how about we have braised carp for dinner tonight?" Ye Chen suggested, "What do you think?"

"Alright, I’ll go slaughter the carp now!" Old Liu nodded and immediately went back to the fishpond to prepare for the slaughter.

"Ye Chen, how did you catch so many fish?"

Old Li stared at the carp, curiously asking, unable to believe that Ye Chen had such strong fishing skills!

Ye Chen just smiled, not hiding anything, and said, "I threw a fishing net around the carp, then hooked them with a fishhook."

"With a fishing net? How... How is that possible!" Old Li and Old Liu were astonished.

They knew that fishing nets are not only sturdy but also prone to falling apart. The idea that Ye Chen could catch fish with one was completely beyond their comprehension!

Seeing their reaction, Ye Chen did not wish to explain further and said with a smile, "Grandpas, let’s go back first. I’ll cook, and today I’ll treat you to braised carp!"

"Alrighty! I’ve been wanting to try your cooking!" Old Liu happily said and followed Ye Chen back to the yard.

...

That night, Ye Chen personally prepared a feast of delicious dishes which greatly tempted the two elders.

After they were full from the meal, Old Liu and Old Li went back to rest.

The next day.

After Old Liu and Old Li got up, they noticed that Ye Chen was not home. They pondered for a while and finally decided to go to Ye Chen’s house.

"Eh?"

As soon as they pushed the door and entered the yard, Old Liu and Old Li saw Ye Chen standing beside the pond, holding a shovel as if he were digging a hole.

Seeing this scene, they were completely baffled.

What was Ye Chen doing?

"Little Chen, what are you up to?"

As they approached, Old Li asked in confusion.
