It was almost 10 o'clock when I finally heard a car bell ringing. Er Gouzi, Wang Xi, Ba Sui Mao and Zhou Yan all arrived.
Also coming together were Xiao Tiezhu and Daniu, both of whom had muddy feet. Did they just come back from the fields?
"Are you in a hurry?" Zhou Yan picked up his bicycle and asked Liang Xiaonan.
Liang Xiaobei turned his face and ignored him, his eyes were red.
Zhou Yan hugged Liang Xiaobei's shoulders and said with a smile: "Are you angry? Today is the harvest season. It is a good day. Don't be angry. If you are angry, someone will be happy!"
Liang Xiaobei looked at him doubtfully, Zhou Yan nodded, interrupted what he wanted to ask, and said: "Be happy, do you understand? The most uncomfortable way to make your opponent suffer is to live a better life than him, do you understand?"
"
"My sister said this." Liang Xiaobei said. He seemed to understand that there must be a reason why Zhou Yan and the others came late. Although he didn't know what it was, he wouldn't say more now, as long as his sister was happy.
Zhou Yan took down a bunch of firecrackers and a bunch of thunderbolts from his bicycle and said, "We'll give it a good shake later!"
The firecrackers at this time were all big, as thick as a thumb, and a plate was not that big, with more than 100 firecrackers. Zhentianlei was a bit expensive, costing 10 cents each.
After a while, You Guoqing also came. As soon as he arrived, the drooling villagers in the village restrained themselves a lot and boldly said to You Guoqing: "Mayor, can we buy a few fish for our team? This fish smells so good.
It smells so good.”
If the production team is willing to buy fish, they can eat it for free, right?
You Guoqing had a good temper. He walked over and said to Liang Xiaonan, "Are these all made from the fish in the pond?"
"Yes, how do you like it?"
Xiao Hongyu handed the chopsticks to You Guoqing, took a spoon and put it in a bowl, then put half a spoonful of soup in another bowl.
You Guoqing took a bite of pickled fish. As soon as the fish entered his mouth, it was spicy, tender and smooth, and he was instantly conquered.
He continued to eat a few more bites, finishing the spoonful of fish in the blink of an eye, and shouted: "It's delicious."
He took another bit of fish soup and took a sip. The fragrant soup wrapped around his lips and teeth, and a magical aunt's smile appeared on Mayor You's face.
"Xiaoliang, your fish costs 1 yuan per catty?"
"Yes, 1 yuan per pound, no discount."
Beside the fish pond, Xiao Hongyu and Er Niu had prepared both large and small scales, using scales for large quantities and weighing pans for items one by one.
Xiao Hongyu hung a bag around her neck to help Liang Xiaonan carry money so that it would not be stolen under her nose.
"The production team will first decide on 120 kilograms, one kilogram for each family, and we will divide the fish today. Accountant, prepare the money. Where is Xiao Tiezhu?"
Xiao Tiezhu ran over immediately, and You Guoqing said: "Xiao Tiezhu, you are responsible for dividing the fish among everyone. You must be fair and don't let things like the past happen again."
Xiao Tiezhu's head suddenly got big. It was a good thing to share the fish, but each family weighed one pound. He could eat the fish head or tail by himself, but who would give it to so many fish heads and tails?
Anyway, the production team has bought the fish, and everyone can taste the fish meat and fish soup.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan prepared the fish pond to fish. Xiao Hongyu kept an eye on the fish meat and fish soup. If you want to eat, you can order fish. If you don't order fish, don't expect it to be free.
Just when they were about to light up the fire, two cars roared up.
Liang Xiaonan originally thought it was Cheng Gang and Wang Heming. Unexpectedly, when they came down, it was Huang Wenxuan and Zhai Jianguo, and Wang Youyang also came with them.
"Why is Secretary-General Huang here?" Liang Xiaonan was very happy and surprised.
"I'm here to see the fish coming out of the pond." Huang Wenxuan didn't say much, he was very concise. Liang Xiaonan felt that this man must have a bright future, he was smart, smooth, quick and capable, and there was no nonsense at all.
Wang Youyang followed Zhai Jianguo. After the leader finished speaking, he said: "Xiao Liang, I found a mulberry sapling."
Liang Xiaonan said: "Thank you, Section Chief Wang. I'll go get it after the next spring."
I'm fishing today and I'm too busy to talk.
Zhou Yan saw that the time was up, so he hung up the firecrackers, placed a bundle of thunderbolts on the roadside, and asked everyone to light the fire.
"Crack, crackle, crackle"
The firecrackers of this era were so loud, each one was like a small landmine, echoing back and forth in the mountains.
Liang Xiaonan covered his ears with his hands and looked at the firecrackers with a smile.
Now that schools are closed, children, even half-grown children, are running around in the streets. When they hear the sound of firecrackers, they run as fast as anyone else to watch the fun.
Zhou Yan and Er Gouzi blocked the road and didn't let anyone get close. They waited until the explosion was over before coming back. There were too many explosives in the firecrackers, so it would be unlucky to injure anyone.
The firecrackers attracted all the children in the village and all the workers in the neighboring village.
I came to watch the fun and found out that the Liang family's siblings had a pond of fish and they were going to fish today.
Looking again, there were a row of pots on the chopping board table by the roadside. The smell of fish seemed to have little hands, scratching the throat.
People from the neighboring village heard that Dakeng Village had ordered 1 catty of fish per family, and they were interested. Dakeng Village was even poorer than they were, and they could all eat fish, so they could afford to eat 1 catty of fish per family.
So the neighboring village also ordered 1 catty per household.
If you are sure you want fish, go to the chopping board table to try it.
Xiao Hongyu had quick eyesight and quick hands. She first served Huang Wenxuan, Zhai Jianguo, Wang Youyang and their driver, each with half a bowl of fish or half a bowl of fish soup.
Except for Huang Wenxuan, everyone else went crazy after eating pickled fish. Can this fish be done like this? Does it taste so good?
Wanghulou doesn’t have this dish either!
Can river fish be so delicious?
After the firecrackers go off, let’s start fishing!
Ergouzi was the first to bear the brunt. He came in a carriage with four or five large wooden barrels on the carriage. Liang Xiaobei cast the first net, and when it came up, big fish jumped around.
Everyone cheered and helped him pull up the net. First, they filled Ergouzi's four large wooden barrels with fish. The fish were too big, so the four large barrels were filled and weighed. Zhou Yan shouted: "162
catty!"
Xiao Hongyu collected the money and, following Liang Xiaonan's instructions, gave Er Gouzi two steel pots, one filled with pickled fish and the other filled with fish soup.
Ergouzi drove the carriage to Qiaotou Town. He made an agreement with Wang Xi. If Wang Xi's family didn't have a carriage, they would sell it in Xiaoyun Town and the next town. Eight-year-old Mao would be sold in Nanfeng Town and Lijia'ao Town.
Wang Xi pulled the cart himself and loaded two large barrels. Zhou Yan weighed it and said: "80 kilograms."
Xiao Hongyu took 80 yuan and filled him with pickled fish and fish soup.
Eight-year-old Mao gained 86 pounds.
The second fool consciously came to help with the work. Liang Xiaobei was weak and could not pull a net of fish, so he followed. Every time the net came up, everyone shouted excitedly, and the children were here to watch.
Chirping, like a lively Chinese New Year.
When fishing, the joy of harvesting is really indescribable. Although the fish you catch is not your own, you feel very excited just looking at it.
While everyone was watching Er Lengzi and Liang Xiaobei shouting slogans to pull in fish, two "Traffic" trucks came running, blaring their whistles loudly.
