Several people turned to look and saw groups of two or three strolling over with wooden buckets, winnowing baskets, ropes, shovels, and other tools.
Seeing them making a fire here, they came over curiously. When they saw the huge fish in their arms, everyone marveled in amazement and grew excited. "Did you catch those in the sea?"
Pan Yun nodded. "Yes."
"Wonderful, wonderful! Looks like we'll be able to pick up plenty of good things after the tide goes out tonight. This stretch of sea hasn't been harvested in a long time."

"Yes."
Pan Yun pursed her lips in a smile and reminded them, "The tide won't recede until around the hour of the tiger. There's still a long while to go. You might as well go home and rest first."
They did not listen. "That won't do. The sea ban has only just been lifted, and we don't have boats at home to go out fishing. Chasing the tide is the best and most effortless way."
"The New Year is almost here too. Picking up more things is good. Even if we can't sell them for money, we can still take them home to eat ourselves."
As they spoke, they stared at the big, fat fish in their hands and secretly swallowed their saliva.
Pan Yun nodded slightly and generously invited them to sit down and roast fish together.

Miao He and Miao Zhen rolled up their sleeves to prepare the fish, while Pan Yun carried Pan Little Black
