Most Yu Liangzi don't go with the current, but some highly skilled people don't go against the current and can still catch a lot of fish.
Sheng Xiping is a master of other fish Liangzi. He can go with the current and against the current, and he can catch many fish at one time.
However, they are not allowed to do business these days, and if you catch too many, you can only give them away.
Besides, Qianchuan Forest Farm is too far away from the town, and you have to take a small train to go out. Even if you can sell fish, it's not worth the trip.
So although Sheng Xiping has this skill, he doesn't use it often.
I only catch a few fish occasionally and share them with my neighbors, and keep some for myself.
The three brothers worked with metal flashlights until almost eight o'clock. Finally, they pinned the fish and went home.
By the time they came in, the house was all tidied up, so it was time to go to bed.
I still have to go to work and go to school tomorrow. What should I do if I go to bed late and can't get up?
Before going to bed, Zhang Shuzhen did not forget to scare her old son and told him to shout again tomorrow morning.
If you don't get up, make delicious food tomorrow night and give Sheng Xitai nothing to eat.
When Sheng Xitai heard this, he was so frightened that he got into bed and quickly closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Sheng Xiping got up early in the morning. He worked and went into the mountains during the day. He was very tired. He fell asleep quickly when he lay down.
The next day it was still the big cock that woke up Sheng Xiping.
He carried a bucket to the river and filled the water tank at home first, and then went to the place where Liangzi fished last night to see if he had harvested anything.
As soon as I arrived at the river, I saw a fish. I jumped hard into the fish basket under the wicker curtain.
Sheng Xiping was so happy that he quickly rolled up his trousers and went into the water, walking to the middle of the river to check the harvest in the fish.
The river at Qianchuan Forest Farm is the upper reaches of the Songhua River. Even though the weather is already hot in June, the river water is still very cool.
Especially early in the morning, not to mention the bone-chilling cold, it can make people shiver anyway.
It felt cold when I first entered the water, but I got used to it after walking a few steps forward, so I quickly reached the middle of the river.
On the wicker curtain, fish of all sizes were tumbling and jumping.
The faint morning light reflected on the fish's scales, reflecting silvery light.
Sheng Xiping was not polite, picked up all the fish into the bucket, and pulled out half of the bucket of small miscellaneous fish.
Then, he lifted up the fish basket fixed at the bottom.
The moment the fish basket came out of the water, Sheng Xiping looked inside and saw, wow, there were a lot of fish, and they seemed to be quite big.
I can’t see exactly what kind of fish there are.
In any case, the harvest was full and Sheng Xiping was satisfied.
So he carried the fish basket and bucket to the shore, then went back to put away the wicker curtain and destroy the stone wall.
Then he hurried home with a bucket in one hand and a fish basket in the other, holding the bundle of wicker curtains under his arm.
Sheng Xiping walked into the house and happened to see Zhang Shuzhen washing rice.
Sheng Xiping wanted to say that he quickly picked out the fish, squeezed some willow roots or something into the belly and washed it clean.
Either stew it with soybean paste, or go to a tofu shop to pick up a few pieces of tofu and stew them together.
If you put some pancakes on the edge of the pot, you can have a good meal again this morning.
But then I thought about it, forget it, that naughty Sheng Xitai was late for the chicken stew yesterday.
If there is another fish this morning, I guess that bear thing will still be late.
For the sake of Sheng Xitai's teacher's health, let's just eat some porridge and deal with it. Don't be angry with the teacher.
So Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, he just found a big basin and poured out all the fish in the fish basket.
In fact, the life force of fish is quite tenacious. Even if it has been out of water for a while, it will still be alive and kicking when poured into a big basin.
There were all kinds of fish, big and small, in the basin. What surprised Sheng Xiping the most was that there were several thin scales in it.
They're not too big, weighing just over a pound.
This is a good thing, a very precious cold water fish with few spines, delicate meat and delicious taste.
Whether it is steamed or braised, even if it is simply marinated with salt and grilled on a branch, it will be particularly fragrant.
In the past, when they were naughty boys, they would catch fish and grill them in the wild. One time, they ate fine-scaled fish.
That kind of snow-white and delicate garlic clove meat is so fragrant.
In addition to fine scales, there are also a lot of willow roots, boat nails, white driftwood, etc.
The willow roots are not small, some are almost as thick as a finger.
Put some home-made miso on this thing and simmer it in a pot, and it will taste great.
If other small miscellaneous fish cannot be eaten temporarily, you can squeeze them into your stomach, add less salt, and dry the fish in the sun.
Take it out in winter, fry it a little less, then add some chili pepper and vinegar to cook it, and it will be crispy and ready for rice.
"Mom, let's make some willow roots this afternoon and stew them into thin scales. You can arrange the rest as you see fit."
Sheng Xiping can cook, but currently her mother is in charge of the household, so she still has to discuss what to eat with her.
Zhang Shuzhen just put the millet into the pot and put the gastrodia elata that was washed last night into it.
After hearing her son's words, she looked back at the fish in the big basin.
"Oh, that's a lot of arrests. Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I won't lose face for you." Zhang Shuzhen smiled.
If her son is capable and can row back and forth all day long to pull food, she will cook it, so why is there any difficulty? Others want to eat but they don’t have it yet.
"Are you tired after waking up so early? Otherwise, you can go back to the house and take a nap. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Zhang Shuzhen felt sorry for her eldest son who had to work too much, so she asked him to go back to the house and take a nap.
"No, Mom, I'm going to old Uncle Hu's house to ask what the team is doing today."
Sheng Xiping looked at his watch. It was past five-thirty. Why should he go back to sleep at this time?
"Then you catch some fish and bring them to your old Uncle Hu. Anyway, there are so many, our family can't eat them all."
Zhang Shuzhen took a look at the fish in the big basin and reminded her son.
Sheng Xiping was right when he thought about it. He was now an educated youth, working in the family team and being managed by others.
Although there is no fault in the other person's hands, the relationship must be maintained in order to be useful.
"Sure, then I'll grab some and send them to Old Uncle Hu."
As Sheng Xiping spoke, he found an enamel basin, fished out some miscellaneous fish from the big basin, put most of the basin in it and carried it away.
Lao Hu, the leader of the family team, was also a forest farm worker in the past.
Forestry enterprises, especially forest farms, have front-line production that deals with wood all day long.
Moreover, the wood harvested from the virgin forest is not light, and it is common to be injured when touched.
Once when Lao Hu was working, his little toe was accidentally hit by a piece of wood.
At that time, I was catching up with the production meeting, and I had a minor injury, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. I simply took care of it and continued working.
Unexpectedly, the affected area accidentally became infected, eventually leading to complications such as vasculitis and tetanus.
Initially, the little toe was amputated, but the infection continued to be uncontrollable and there was no way to amputate that foot as well.
I still couldn't get it under control, so I finally went to the provincial capital and had another surgery. At least it was under control below the calf.
After Lao Hu was discharged from the hospital and recovered, he went to Shanghai to install a prosthetic leg. After training, he could walk as usual.
He just couldn't work on the front line anymore, so the factory assigned him to the family team, leading people to work, and still paid him the same wages as front-line workers.
