Those cotton are to prevent the eel from being injured by the iron in its struggle, ruining the freshness of its flesh.
After being skewered, the eel's head kept twisting, emitting a "crying" sound.
Zhou Xuan looked closely and only saw a human face on the eel's head, quite horrifying.
"No wonder it's called the Ghost-faced Eel," Zhou Xuan said.
Longba laughed and said: "Master, although this eel is ugly, its taste is exceptionally fresh. Stay at my residence tonight, have a drink, and forget the worries of the human world."
He then flicked his hand and said, "I just caught an eel, for now, don't cast any bait. Wait for half an hour until the eels at the bottom of the pool lose their vigilance, then continue to bait them."
"Alright."
The servants responded one after another.
Zhou Xuan saw Longba voluntarily pause the fishing game and as if changing the subject, said: "Longba, I came to you for a reason, my senior brother asked me to bring you something."
