Chapter 44 Fishing 3

"I bought carp at Tanshan Reservoir for 20 yuan per pound last time. I said it was a pollution-free breeding. I couldn't eat it anyway. Calculate how much it costs and change it back to make lunch." Wu Anxing's family is rich, and his two sons are doing business outside, so they took their grandson at home to grow some vegetables, and lived a leisurely life.

"Carp two pounds, three pounds, 36 pounds, 2 pounds, six pounds, 52 pounds, 88 pounds, 8. Brother An Xing, you are going to make a fortune." Seeing the money calculated by the two fish, Wu Ma couldn't help but say.

When it was about to cook lunch, everyone was too lazy to talk, so they hurriedly bought the fish and rushed home to cook. The family was still waiting to eat the fish.

Wu Fei and Ermeng rested for a while, poured the fish in the bucket into a large pig-killing basin, and went to the reservoir to catch the fish. There were still many fish in the net that were not caught.

When the two caught the fish for the second time, the fish at home were sold out, and there were still a few people who had not bought the fish waiting for them.

On the last trip, all the fish were fished out, but the net had not yet pulled out of the water. However, you could already see the bottom of the net.

I saw a ball of black stuff at the bottom of the net sinking there, making the net sticky with the last bit of water and unable to float. Ermeng, who often goes into the water to catch fish and shrimp, first discovered something wrong: "I didn't expect that there is this thing in the reservoir. Xiaofei, I have caught a good thing."

As he said, he stretched out his net bag, aimed at the ball of black stuff and snatched it over.

A turtle as big as a vegetable bowl was suddenly taken out, and there was a small turtle the size of a palm below.

"This big one is at least two or three kilograms. I didn't expect that there was such a big turtle in the reservoir, and there was a small one. It seems that there should be some in the reservoir." Ermeng held the big turtle in his hand and weighed it, and said to Wu Fei.

"Isn't there a lot of turtles in the reservoir before? When I was in junior high school, I could still touch them when I was swimming in summer."

In the past, Ma Zhongyi's family had been turtle raising for several years. One night, it rained heavily and the pond dam collapsed by heavy rain. Four or five hundred turtles in the pond ran away, but most of them were very small turtle seedlings, and even so, they would suffer a lot of losses.

Most of the turtles were washed into the reservoirs and creeks by the flood. Since then, there have been more turtles in the reservoirs and creeks, and they have gradually grown around.

When I was in junior high school, Wu Fei and the others would go swimming and fish in the reservoirs and streams in summer. Sometimes they would catch turtles if they were lucky. If they met a big guy and secretly sold it, a month's pocket money would be enough. I remember that a turtle with a 2-pound turtle could be sold for more than 100 yuan at that time.

"It's rare to see it now. Last time, Weidong Qingtang, I caught two of them a little over a pound."

"When you clear the pond for a while, you have to look carefully to see if you can catch a few big ones."

"Now, wild turtles like this are rare and very expensive. Last time I saw a wild turtle in the county town, and it was almost 2 pounds, so I sold it for 800 yuan. If you sell this one, it will be at least a thousand."

Ermeng told Wu Fei: "I have delivered mountain goods to several restaurants in the county town. Wild turtles like this only need one pound of one pound, and the starting price is 400 yuan per pound. The larger the price, the higher the price. In the past two years, I have not caught one, and I have only collected two, both of which are more than one pound. If you want to sell it, I can ask you the price."

"I don't plan to sell this. I haven't eaten such a big wild turtle since I was a child. I finally caught one by myself. I must try it out to see what this turtle worth a thousand yuan tastes. If you want to sell it, wait until the next time I clear the pond." I caught a lot of turtle before, but Wu Fei sold it for pocket money. I haven't eaten a real wild turtle yet.

Although the family was not in good condition when he was a child, since he entered junior high school, his parents at home no longer confiscated the New Year's money from Wu Fei and his brothers. Usually, the pocket money earned by Wu Fei and his brothers themselves was kept by themselves. However, every time Wu Fei worked hard to get a little income, he would be knocked out by his sister. For the sake of helping with the custody, he never saw it back.

The two of them caught a total of three times, and removed the small fry that needed to be restocked again. They could sell about 200 to 300 kilograms of fish. They threw the little turtle into the reservoir again. Whether they could meet it next time they cleared the pond depends on fate.

When they got home, all the fish buyers left, and my mother and sister had already prepared the food. My father was talking to Qian Donglai and the others. Wu Fei poured all the fish into a large basin, and estimated that there were at least more than 100 kilograms. I don’t know if Qian Donglai would have so much.

At noon, there was almost a whole fish feast. Among the eight dishes, fish occupied 5, chopped pepper fish head, crucian carp tofu soup, braised carp, steamed bream, and boiled fish fillets. All of them are what Wu Fei likes to eat.

"Uncle Bang, weigh two fish for me, I'll take them back and cook lunch dishes for them." Seeing that there were still people at home, Ermeng wanted to buy the fish back.

"Your wife came here just now, and now it should be ready to eat. I told your wife that you are having dinner at my house and told him not to wait for you." Seeing Ermeng leaving, my mother hurried over and said.

"I helped here for a whole morning, and I left without eating, just like it. I wait and have some wine before going back."

At noon, ten people of all sizes were just enough to fill a large round table. My dad wanted to go to the old wine he brewed at home, but it was still comfortable to drink beer on hot days. Fortunately, there was a box of beer in the large refrigerator at home, and it was the last time Wu Fei and his classmates bought the rest.

Seven older men drank a box of beer, but each of them had two bottles. Everyone mainly ate fish.

The fish fed through the space spring water is really delicious. Although it is simple home-cooked and there are no miscellaneous ingredients, it is because of this that you can taste the original taste of the fish.

Unlike when you go out to eat, you can put a dozen kinds of ingredients in a dish, and the taste of the ingredients is all the flavors of the dishes themselves.

Fortunately, each dish was very large. Boiled fish fillets were simply served in a stainless steel basin for washing vegetables. A full pot of six or seven kilograms of green fish, cucumbers, corn and other side dishes.

Anyway, at the end of the meal, Wu Fei didn't even eat a few bites of rice, and he was full after eating fish.

The chopped pepper fish head, braised carp, and steamed bream were all eaten clean, and only the crucian carp soup was left to boil the fish fillets and leave a little bottom of the pot. From the outside to the present, today is the most enjoyable meal Wu Fei has eaten.
