Chapter 1576 - 1576
After Liu Zhizhong left, Zuo Xintong and Zhang Minmin surrounded the Scythe Fish, observing it with curiosity and excitement. It seemed like an outstanding work of art by nature, making them utterly delighted.
"Elder cousin, this fish is so big, it will last us many days!"
Zuo Xintong paused for a moment, "You, all you think about is eating? It's grown so big, it's not easy. Let's talk to Liu Zhizhong later and see if we should release it back."
"Huh? Release it? Why not just release some ginger instead? This thing, its meat is delicious beyond words, my dear cousin!"
Zuo Xintong suddenly remembered something and said, "Let's not talk about this now, you hurry back to the camp. When you get there, you..."
As she spoke, she whispered a few words into Zhang Minmin's ear.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Minmin was a little embarrassed but nodded, deciding to follow her elder cousin's instructions.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong returned to the helicopter, of course, to the room where Zuo Xintong slept. He turned on the hot water to give himself a thorough wash.
To be honest, the late autumn evening was getting quite chilly. The hot water washed away the cold, making him feel much more comfortable.
After he was done, he changed into fresh clothes and came out of the helicopter, feeling a bit touched.
Zhang Minmin, heeding Zuo Xintong's words, had already prepared hot ginger tea for him to ward off the cold.
He took the cup, and a wave of warmth spread from his palms throughout his body, making him feel almost steaming hot.
Liu Zhizhong gave her a grateful look, took the ginger tea, and said with a smile, "Actually, Mr. Zhang, I'm quite warm, not cold at all!"
As he spoke, he took a big sip.
Zhang Minmin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Not cold, huh? If you're not cold, then don't drink it!"
"Haha… It's hard to refuse a beauty's kindness, haha…" Liu Zhizhong laughed as he sat down on the chair, taking another deep sip of the ginger tea, feeling truly refreshed!
"You rascal, always so glib! But that Scythe Fish is really big, Liu Zhizhong, you've caught a treasure this time! Surely it's the 'King of Scythe Fish'!"
Liu Zhizhong's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but even more so with reverence for nature. "To be honest, I didn't expect to catch such a big fish. Fishing, sometimes luck and patience are equally important. This success, I have to thank Mayor Zuo's fishing rod, it's really sturdy! Hmm? Where is Mayor Zuo? Is she still fishing?"
As Liu Zhizhong spoke, he looked over toward Tianping Pond, only to realize Zuo Xintong wasn't at the camp, and it was almost completely dark!
Zhang Minmin said, "Yes, she's still fishing! They say with one King Scythe Fish, there's bound to be another! She's even switched to a big fishing line for it!"
Liu Zhizhong shook his head and said, "This silly mayor, sigh… The other one must be the one that took my fishing rod, I'm ninety-nine percent sure. What's she still waiting for? Forget it, you go call her back, pack up the equipment, I'll start making dinner."
"Hey, wait a minute…"
"What?"
Zhang Minmin looked a bit embarrassed, "Well, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Fish, and some beef or something."
"I mean, haha… How about we cook the King Scythe Fish for dinner? That meat, I bet is even more delicious, hehe… But elder cousin said to release it, and I feel like releasing ginger, what do you think? Haha…"
Zhang Minmin laughed such that it seemed as if she were about to drool...
