[ ...He Xuan is absolutely not going to turn down food, even if it is like this. ]

Just a little.

[ He'll casually begin to just take the fish off of the hook, or something... ]

[lapidation]

[ help... sir.... Well, fresh catches are the best. ]

I don't specialize in seafood dishes, but I can figure something out if you wish to have it now... [ Tilting his head, he's trying to find other ways of apology. ] Or I can at least clean the fish.

[ It is just Bleeding. ]

[esurientabyss]

[ Especially the catch of the day! ]

...You can? [ He pulls his hands back. ] Then go ahead.

If you know how to cook it or something else, that's fine too.

[ ...look, as usual, He Xuan can't exactly help seeing if he might be able to get some more food. If not now, then in the future. ]

Hm... I do still have some beef in the icebox, but fish now would be fresher.

[ He deliberates, but his nose starts to wrinkle. A sneeze comes and Zhongli disappears, further ahead on the ice lake now.

If He Xuan still barely has the fish in his hands, then it can stay with him. In a loud voice: ]

If you saw a farmhouse on your way here, that is mine. Meet me there.

[ Because he's struggling. ]

[esurientabyss]

[ There he go . . .

He Xuan, in the meanwhile, is still standing and holding onto the fish just a bit, so indeed it will now fall completely into his grip. ]

I will. [ ... ] What a strange curse.

[ He will go through the trouble to make his way over to Zhongli's farmhouse... ]

[lapidation]

[ He Xuan really could have just left with Zhongli's fish and he'd be okay with that.

Anyway, it takes some time, but Zhongli is there at the farmhouse. Jiaotang, his german shepherd, comes to greet He Xuan first with a polite look and tail wag. The plot is well maintained with some sprouts already sowed. ]

I don't believe I caught your name. [ Opening the door, he lets stranger in. ] My name is Zhongli.

[esurientabyss]

[ Zhongli's mistake is mentioning there was the potential for even more food to be had.

He is not necessarily a dog person but he just briefly looks at it and probably waits like some kind of wraith on the porch or something. ]

He Xuan. [ ... ] You already made a decent amount of progress.

[ He follows in. The comment about progress coming out because he's seen other people struggle or perhaps curse as they attempted to toil their fields. Not that Zhongli couldn't have done either earlier, to be honest. ]
