The old fisherman took the earthworms in the jar and threaded them on the fishhook, then threw the rod out.
After a while, a fish took the bait, and it turned out to be a big fish of two or three pounds!
Oops, it turns out that the fish in the reservoir have changed their taste. Now they don’t like bait, but like earthworms.
Okay, another day, he will try to dig up some earthworms.
Xu Qingzhi and Xu Dongru carried the fish back and met Wang Yanmei who was returning from playing cards.
Wang Yanmei took a look and saw that the bucket was full of fish. "Oh, there are so many fish caught. How many fish did you catch?"
"Grandpa caught sixteen fish and I caught eight."
"The fish in this reservoir are so easy to catch? I heard someone say a few days ago that the fish in this reservoir are the most difficult to catch." Wang Yanmei looked at the fish inside, "Huo, there are still big fish. Let's do it tonight.
Eat the fish!"
"Mom, there is a crucian carp that can be used to make soup. I want to eat chili fish with grass carp." Xu Qingzhi had even planned the menu.
"Sure, no problem." Wang Yanmei wanted to take the bucket, and said angrily: "You are ignorant, let your grandpa carry such a heavy bucket. Dad, I will carry it, you will be here tonight
Let’s eat together.”
In the past, when it was time for dinner, the children would often leave Xu Dongru to eat, but Xu Dongru wouldn't eat. He was a stubborn person, so he wouldn't eat at the children's house even if he was invited to eat during holidays or festivals.
Now the old man thought about the taste of that dish. It was so delicious. In addition, he was happy to fish today. He had done his best and responded: "Okay, I will go back after eating. Yanmei, you have worked hard today."
Cooking."
As for the fish bucket, he didn't let Wang Yanmei take it. He avoided it and said, "I'm carrying this bucket. There are only a few steps left. I know that my little arms can't lift it. I'm very energetic. Don't blame the child."
."
Wang Yanmei stopped arguing, "Okay, it's time for Fu Qiang to come back, let him kill the fish."
Turn a corner from the main road and go straight to your home.
Xu Fuqiang happened to be back. When he saw his father and daughter catching more than 20 fish, he felt very itchy and wanted to go fishing when he finished the chicken coop.
It was impossible to go fishing tonight, he was going to kill fish.
The big grass carp and crucian carp were killed for tonight, and there was also a crucian carp weighing more than a pound for Xu Dongru to take home and eat by himself. The other small crucian carps were easier to handle.
Wang Yanmei originally thought of waiting for the market to buy some and make fried fish, but it was just right.
Drain the processed small crucian carp, put it into the oil pan and fry it over low heat until it is brown and crispy.
Add garlic, chili, and ginger slices and stir-fry until the garlic and spiciness blend into the crispy fish.
Pour in half a bowl of water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar and other ingredients, especially rice vinegar, which can make the fish crispier and stew for a long time.
The spicy fried fish is ready.
Another large crucian carp was stewed into a milky-white crucian carp and tofu soup. Grass carp was chopped into pieces and served with Meicheng-style sour water chili to make sour water chili fish.
The preparation methods of sour water chili fish and pickled fish are similar, but the taste is completely different. It tastes sour and spicy, and you can't taste the fishy smell at all.
Just in time, there are also a few plates of fragrant and crunchy vegetables to relieve the spiciness.
Xu Qingzhi enjoyed the meal very happily, and Xu Dongru also rarely had a bowl and a half of rice.
In the next few days, Xu Dong was determined to go fishing.
Xu Qingzhi also went fishing.
Xu Dongru had a great conversation with the old fishing man.
Xu Fuqiang built the chicken coop and joined the fishing army.
The three of them went fishing every day and got quite a harvest.
For several days in a row, all the food at home was fish. Finally, the whole family got tired of eating it, and Xu Dongru said that she couldn’t eat anymore.
But he was still determined to go fishing, saying that he had made an appointment with the old fishing man to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Later, the fishing appointment between the two was blocked by a heavy rain.
The small fish that the family couldn't finish were stewed and added to the chicken food for the chickens in the backyard. The chickens were able to lay eggs very well for several days.
Xu Qingzhi went to the back mountain to pick up eggs. He picked up eight at a time and put them in the basin he brought. He also picked some bayberries and tasted them.
The taste was okay when she ate it last time, but she still felt it was a little bit worse. The two little ones have been watering very diligently these days, and it tastes obviously better than last time.
She picked some more and took them home together.
"Qingzhi, how many eggs did you pick up today?" Wang Yanmei asked.
"Eight."
"Since chickens ate fish, they laid more eggs and our family couldn't finish them all." Wang Yanmei said, then she remembered, "By the way, your third aunt sent me something to a courier point in town.
Help mom get it and send some eggs to your third aunt."
"Yeah, okay." Xu Qingzhi nodded, picked out the bayberries and washed them with water. "Mom, I picked some bayberries and tasted them. They were even more delicious than last time."
"Is it more delicious than last time?" Wang Yanmei's eyes lit up, she reached out to pick one up and put it into her mouth. The fresh bayberry juice flowed into her mouth. The bayberry pulp was rich in fragrance, and the sweetness was purer. There was no sourness at all.
But it’s not overly sweet, and it tastes much better than last time!
"Our bayberries are really delicious. Last time your dad asked about the purchase price of bayberries, and they gave them four yuan per catty. Your dad thought our bayberries tasted good and wanted to sell them for eight yuan per catty, but they didn't agree. Your dad kept asking.
I am very worried. This is not because I helped you build a chicken coop a few days ago, so I just ignored it and thought about asking a few more fruit sellers."
When Xu Qingzhi heard eight yuan, did she disagree? In her mind, she could almost imagine her father begging the fruit seller in a low voice in order to sell a few more yuan per catty.
She said: "Forget it if you don't agree, just keep it for yourself."
"Where can I eat so much? I'll just sell it if it's cheaper, hey." Wang Yanmei doesn't do it. Even if it costs four yuan a pound, she can still make some money. "Originally, I thought there were only dozens of bayberry trees.
The day before yesterday, I went to the back mountain to see the fruit, and the two hundred bayberry trees were all bearing fruit. It was really strange."
Xu Qingzhi ate bayberries and said: "The weather this year is quite strange. Many places have encountered droughts that have not been seen in decades. Maybe the plants have been affected and matured late."
"That's right." Wang Yanmei was talking when suddenly her cell phone rang.
She answered the phone, her expression changed, and she answered twice hastily.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yanmei said anxiously: "The father-in-law of your grandma's sister's son over at Sanli'ao has passed away. Your dad and I are going to help. You can cook at home for lunch today."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi responded.
Usually when someone dies in the village, it's always like this. Those who are nearby will be called to help, let alone those who are close relatives.
"By the way, since you want to send eggs, by the way, send some bayberries to your third aunt. Anyway, there are a lot of bayberries at home."
Xu Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, Mom, I understand."
Wang Yanmei then hurriedly called Xu Fuqiang and the two drove away.
At this moment, Xu Qingzhi felt like a left-behind child, pitiful.
Since her parents are not here, she should go do some easy work.
She first put the eggs into the pearl cotton egg tray and went to the back mountain.
She first smuggled a hundred chickens and a hundred ducks out of the aura space, and left half of the chickens and ducks in the space to reserve extra meals for the two little ones.
Then, she went to the land on the hillside.
It had rained a few days ago, so my parents had weeded all the grass and loosened the soil.
She sensed that there was no one around, and with a wave of her hand, she removed the vegetable seedlings from the aura space and planted them.
Two little ones jumped out of the space.
"Gah~" Master, don't you like to dig holes and grow vegetables by yourself?
Xu Qingzhi: "I only like to dig holes myself when I want to, but not now."
"Gaga~" If you want to be lazy, just be lazy, and you said it so fresh and refined.
Xu Qingzhi hit it on its little head, causing it to collapse.
