Fishing is a technical job, and if you have no experience, the efficiency is quite low.
The center of this river is nearly half a meter deep and more than 20 meters long. There is a large space for fish to move, which makes it more difficult to catch fish.
If you want to catch fish efficiently, it is best to get a water pump and pump the water until it is almost dry before fishing.
Deng Xiang and Duan Shigang spent a lot of time before catching a few fish with difficulty.
On the other hand, Jiang Ning next to her was seeing fish one after another, which made people smack their lips secretly.
It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of the fish in the bucket was thrown in by Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong ran to the bucket with her little shoes on. She saw black shadows moving in the bucket and rolling waves of water. She shouted:
"Jiang Ning, the fish are fighting!"
After Jiang Ning heard this, he thought for a moment. In order to prevent the fish from killing each other and affecting the quality of the fish meat, he used a magic technique to cover the bucket and calmed down the most vicious fish.
"It's okay, let them fight." Jiang Ning said.
Because he was fishing, he was closer to the east bank of the river, so he simply came up from this side.
Xue Yuantong stood on the west bank. She waved to Jiang Ning across the six to seven meter wide river:
"Let's move the bucket up quickly."
The path from the river bank to the wheat fields above is slightly steep.
There was water and fish in the bucket, and it was heavy. It was difficult for Xue Yuantong to carry it alone. If the bucket spilled while carrying it halfway, and all the fish she had worked so hard to catch fell into the river, she would be guilty.
When it was more important, Xue Yuantong didn't act blindly.
Jiang Ning said: "I'll be there right away."
After he landed on the shore, his feet stepped on the weeds and his shoes were still on the other side.
Xue Yuantong thought he was coming from the boulder, so he waited for him quietly.
As a result, Jiang Ning's left foot fell forward, trampling a few weeds. He used his left foot as a fulcrum and used the force to cross forward. He rose into the air and crossed the six to seven meter wide river.
Shen Qing'e was about to end fishing when she suddenly caught a glimpse of this scene, her eyes filled with surprise.
Jiang Junlong even said: "Brother Ning, are you that strong in the long jump?"
Xue Yuantong was stunned. She looked at Jiang Ning and then at the river. He actually jumped over such a wide river. Just, jumped over?
In Xue Yuantong's consciousness, she never thought that she could cross the river like this. It was beyond her knowledge.
Shen Qing'e withdrew her gaze from Jiang Ning and said to Jiang Junlong: "His high jump broke the record of our No. 4 Middle School for many years."
In addition to the turmoil caused here, Deng Xiang and the others on the other side were equally surprised.
Gong Xuan, who had been paying close attention to this side, saw clearly that the scene when Jiang Ning jumped across the river just now was really like flying.
Qiu Die shouted directly: "Handsome, so handsome!"
"Dance another one, dance another one for me!"
When she was excited, her big earrings would swing around like a dancing demon.
Duan Shigang's face turned dark on the spot. The horse brought by his brother Gang waved flags and cheers for other boys. Where should he put his brother Gang's face?
All the limelight was taken away by others, and Brother Gang, who had always been arrogant, simply couldn't bear it.
He said disdainfully: "Why don't you just jump into the river? How difficult is it?"
Qiu Die was in a surging mood when she suddenly heard Duan Shigang say this, which was really disappointing.
Along the way, she had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Duan Shigang. She thought he would take her to the park for boating, but instead he took them to the wilderness. If she hadn't been concerned about Deng Xiang's face, she would have vented her dissatisfaction long ago.
Seeing Duan Shigang's expression at this time, Qiu Die shook his red hair: "Brother Gang, can you jump over?"
Duan Shigang didn't know if it was possible, but if he was forced to do this, could he still retreat due to emotions and reasons?
When you go out to hang out, you pay attention to face.
Duan Shigang had a mocking look on his face: "You just went out to work for half a year, it seems you have forgotten me."
I am no longer in the arena, and there is no longer a legend about me in the arena. I will leave and have a cup of tea...
Ge Hao, the narrator, had long disliked Jiang Ning: "I just jumped into the river to impress you, you ladies, you know this."
Qiu Die has a fierce personality and said: "Duan Shigang, Ge Hao, you two dance, if you can jump over, I will treat you two to a small hot pot tonight!"
She originally didn't want to add the word "little", but she didn't have any money. She went to a technical secondary school and had a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses. She smoked and drank, and surrounded her younger sister. She was starving right away.
I can only eat small hot pot.
Xue Yuantong heard the commotion over there and was a little confused: 'Are they fighting among themselves?'
She doesn't care what others do, she just wants to go home and cook fish with Jiang Ning. Fish caught with her own hands will definitely taste different.
This time, she was not there to help Jiang Ning while he was fishing.
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were ignited by Qiu Die's words.
Deng Xiang and Gong Xuan were watching from the side, and they would say a few words from time to time.
"Brother Gang, stop jumping, right?" Gong Xuan advised. She was from No. 4 Middle School and had personally participated in the sports meeting. She knew that Jiang Ning was able to jump across the river because his jumping ability was at least one in a million.
As for Duan Shigang and the others, Gong Xuan just wanted to laugh.
It's okay if she didn't persuade him, but this advice made Duan Shigang even more angry, "You look down on Brother Gang, don't you?"
Qiu Die shouted: "Don't persuade him, let him dance, I also want to treat them to a small hot pot!"
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao rushed to the east side of the river in one breath. They stood still on the bank and did some warm-up exercises.
Looking at the six to seven meter wide river, I just said it was beautiful, but it still felt awkward to actually jump.
As for shrinking back? Impossible. They are young men, not adults. They have to swallow the bullshit they have blown.
It looked like he was about to jump.
Jiang Junlong in the river raised his hand: "Don't move yet, I have something to say!"
Duan Shigang looked at Jiang Junlong with a puzzled expression: "What happened?"
At this time, Jiang Junlong moved slowly towards the river. As he walked, he shouted: "I'm afraid you'll drown me in water!"
Before, my cousin Jiang Ning successfully jumped across the river, and nothing happened to them. But if it were these two people who jumped into the river, the result would be different.
Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing'e hurried ashore as if taking refuge. Not only did they get ashore, but they also climbed onto the wheat fields, so they could sit back and relax.
Duan Shigang looked at Deng Xiang and the others on the other side.
Qiu Die: "I have activities at noon. If it's too troublesome to get my clothes wet, I'll go ashore first."
Deng Xiang looked at his brothers and then at Gong Xuan.
Gong Xuan's expression changed. She hesitated for two seconds and suddenly said confidently:
"Brother Gang, Brother Hao, I believe you can make it. I will wait for you two at the shore."
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao twitched their mouths and shouted together: "Xiangzi?"
Deng Xiang: "..."
He racked his brains and failed to come up with a solution, and finally forced out an ugly smile:
"Brother Gang, Mouse, I'm standing here to accompany you!"
Duan Shigang was overjoyed: "Good brother."
He changed his voice and glanced at Jiang Ning, Gong Xuan and others, strengthening his determination.
Ge Hao was more prepared than he was. He searched for the narrowest part of the river and finally found it in the south.
Duan Shigang was to the north, one to the south and one to the north, sandwiching Deng Xiang in the middle.
Deng Xiang felt bitter in his heart, and it was hard for Deng Xiang to explain.
Xue Yuantong lay by the bucket watching the fish, while Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing'e looked towards the shore. They were not saints. How could they miss it when it was so lively?
After half a minute of preparation, Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were ready to take off.
There was a slope beside the river, making it difficult to run. He used all his strength and kicked his legs violently, and his body immediately flew up.
The young man's figure soared above the river, shining even more brightly when illuminated by the dazzling sunlight.
Before Duan Shigang took off, he was thinking that like a tiger in the jungle, he would leap across the river and reach the other side.
But what really happened was that as soon as he jumped up, his heart became cold.
He was only halfway across the river before he fell into the water and a huge wave of water broke out.
Similar to him, there was another large splash of water in the south.
Deng Xiang stood in the middle and was drowned in the head.
As for Duan Shigang and Ge Hao, they were completely soaked by the water spray.
Qiu Die: "That's it?"
She spread her hands, not hiding her disdain.
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to look up. It was so shameless.
After Jiang Ning saw it, she picked up the bucket and turned to leave. Her tone was calm: "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Xue Yuantong quickly followed in small steps.
Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing'e put on their shoes and followed together.
Throughout the whole process, Jiang Ning just carried his bucket and didn't say a single sarcastic word.
However, Gong Xuan was sensitive to an extremely cold disregard, which was countless times higher than contempt. It seemed that he never took Duan Shigang and the others seriously from the beginning to the end.
Gong Xuan suddenly got goosebumps. She crossed her arms and had an incredible suspicion, 'Are we not as good as a few wild fish in his heart?'
"Brother Ning, put the bucket in front of my car." Jiang Junlong found the rope and fixed the bucket.
Duan Shigang and the other two people in the river were twisting their clothes without saying a word.
When Deng Xiang saw that Jiang Ning was about to leave, he looked at the small puddle by the river, where the fish they caught were contained. They had only caught them so far, and they still had to find a way to take them away.
He stepped ashore in a few steps and shouted: "Jiang Ning, do you have anything to hold the fish? Can you lend it to us?"
Jiang Ning heard this and said to her cousin: "Bring them two plastic bags."
…
The way back was smooth. Jiang Junlong was worried about the fish in the bucket, so he didn't speed up, but he got home in about 20 minutes.
Jiang Ning pushed open the courtyard door: "Let's stay here for lunch."
Jiang Junlong carried the bucket into the yard, his face full of joy: "I'm sure, I finally caught the fish, I will definitely try it."
Shen Qing'e asked abruptly: "Can you cook?"
At this time, it was Xue Yuantong's turn to appear. She moved out the big basin and said of course: "Leave all these fish to me!"
Jiang Ning picked up the bucket and poured it into the big basin. Suddenly, with a splashing sound, the big basin was filled with all kinds of fish flapping and swimming, making people take a look and feel very good.
Jiang Ning activated his spiritual power and passed through the fish quietly, purifying the impurities inside it that were difficult to remove.
Then, he took the initiative to take the 'cut fish' out of the big basin and put it alone in another small basin.
Xue Yuantong looked at the cut fish and calculated: "There are eight in total, just right for stewing eggplants."
"There are also three black fish, um...Jiang Ning, didn't you bring back two tomatoes? Use them to make tomato black fish fillets!"
She then looked at the grass carp and crucian carp in the basin: "I'll braise these, but there seem to be too many. What should I do, Jiang Ning?"
These two kinds of fish are the most caught. If they were all stewed, they would probably fill a big pot.
Seeing her troubled look, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Give some to the next door neighbor. They should like wild fish."
Heba is a bungalow. Unlike residential buildings in the city, Heba still retains the living habits of rural people. People often chat at the door and are familiar with each other. The neighbors are very friendly.
Xue Yuantong thought this method was very good, so she packed some fish and sent them to the next door in a basin.
After a while, Xue Yuantong came back. The basin in her hand was gone, but there was a plate with a large chicken leg on it with a lot of meat attached.
She smiled and said: "The Xiaofan family killed a big rooster today, and they gave it to me!"
Jiang Ning: "Very good."
He also didn't expect that he could exchange the extra wild fish for chicken legs.
He scanned it with his consciousness and found that the big crowing rooster next door was missing. It seemed that the chicken legs must be that chicken. It was so pitiful.
Xue Yuantong pointed to the fresh and tender chicken: "This is used to make spicy chicken. I guarantee you will have endless aftertaste after eating it!"
After fighting hard to catch fish together, she gradually relaxed a little and was no longer as cautious as she was in the morning.
A large pot of wild fish was basically handled by Xue Yuantong, while Jiang Ning was responsible for handling the cut fish to prevent her fingers from being cut.
Jiang Junlong stared at him. He knew nothing about these things involving the kitchen.
Shen Qing'e couldn't be much better than him, she could only watch Xue Yuantong work.
When it came to cooking, Shen Qing'e couldn't help anymore. Two earthen stoves were used in the kitchen. Jiang Ning helped light the fire and also used spiritual power to cool down the kitchen, otherwise Xue Yuantong would be extremely hot.
Jiang Junlong was playing with his mobile phone at the door. He was responsible for reporting the situation to his mother. At the same time, he sent pictures to show off to his classmates. How glorious it is to fish.
Shen Qing'e also stayed at the door. A small table was set up at the door with some snacks on it. She didn't eat it, but looked at the fields in the distance.
She smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, it smelled so good...
Shen Qing'e recalled that the rice her mother cooked when she was a child was just as delicious.
She hasn't been back to the countryside for a long time since she moved into her sister's house. The last time she went home was during the Chinese New Year.
It's a pity that my parents stayed at home for more than ten days and continued to go out to work.
Shen Qing'e's family situation is similar to that of Jiang Ning's family, except that she is not the ignorant Jiang Ning. She thinks long-term. She wants to live a better life and escape from the harsh countryside.
For this reason, she worked hard to do many things, such as pretending that she didn't know Jiang Ning at the beginning of her first year of high school.
Jiang Ning helped her a lot in junior high school. In such a chaotic place as the middle school in the town, Shen Qing'e was good-looking, so it was inevitable that she would suffer some bad things.
For example, small gangsters interrupting, or female gangsters in the class being jealous, and so on.
At that time, Jiang Ning had a cousin who opened a barbecue restaurant outside the school. He was a relatively unruly business owner. Jiang Ning was rarely bullied. However, Shen Qing'e played with Jiang Ning and naturally avoided those encounters.
They have a very close relationship. At least Shen Qing'e has never disliked Jiang Ning and is willing to play, eat and do homework with him.
As for liking it?
She couldn't explain clearly, maybe she was used to it.
But after arriving at No. 4 Middle School, facing Jiang Ning's alienation, she resolutely broke off all relations with Jiang Ning, because in her heart, Jiang Ning belonged to the 'old' existence.
If you want to become a new you, you must separate yourself from the old things.
She succeeded.
But now, I feel a little regretful.
Because she clearly felt a sense of distance, it seemed that she and Jiang Ning could never go back.
Shen Qing'e thought more and more until Xue Yuantong brought the plate to the table. It was black fish fillets with tomatoes. The soup was an attractive red color, and the fish meat was half hidden and half visible. The tomatoes were like flames ignited in the water, and the incomparable fragrance floated.
It smells amazing.
If it weren't for her own upbringing, Shen Qing'e would even want to taste Tachyon.
Dishes were served one after another, including fish stewed with eggplant, braised grass carp/crucian carp, and spicy chicken.
Finally, add fragrant rice and heat-relieving mung bean soup to complete a sumptuous lunch.
Xue Yuantong clapped her hands, and she said regretfully, 'If only Jiang Ning had brought some rice."
She missed the rice Jiang Ning gave her before.
Jiang Ning picked up Kuaizi and said, "Let's eat."
Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing'e had wanted to eat it for a long time. After hearing his words, they immediately moved to Kuaizi.
The two of them reached out to the dish of blackened fish fillets with tomatoes involuntarily.
Shen Qing'e picked up a piece of fish and took a bite.
The texture and taste were almost excellent to the extreme. When she swallowed the fish meat and looked at Xue Yuantong again, she couldn't help but feel deep admiration and shame:
