After Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming finished chatting with the old lady, they discussed where to get some fish next. To be honest, there is no shortage of meat now. Not to mention eating it every day, there is always some oil and water in every meal.
So compared to other homes, living in the village can be considered very comfortable.
Eating and drinking has always been a big problem for farmers in the rural areas of Northeast China. In the past, the brigades provided food. Now it is better, and there is some surplus food at home, but it is still not to the point where every family can eat well, and the meals can only be eaten here and there.
Eat.
What do you mean by interspersed meals? Today it’s cornstarch pancakes, tomorrow it’s sorghum rice, and the day after tomorrow it’s millet. As for the white flour, it’s only available when guests arrive, or during the New Year and festivals, plus some dried food stored in the autumn.
Dried vegetables and so on, this is how every family survives the winter.
Only the gunner's family in the village can say that they can eat steamed buns from Erhe Noodles, as well as meat from the mountains, plus some dried vegetables and mushrooms, etc., and they can be considered to be living a good life. p>
As for the family's money, it can only be said that the accounts were balanced every year at that time. It would be good if no one owed money. Therefore, in order to survive in the Northeast, he had to work hard on food. Before, Wang Xiaoli relied on whole fish for food.
Only then did I survive.
This is a bit far-fetched. Zhang Peng doesn’t know much about fishing. It can also be said that he has mastered nine of his ten apertures. He rarely fished in his previous life because he had less exposure to water since he was a child, so now he mainly
It's up to Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli. They have done this since they were young. If Zhang Peng is the leader when it comes to driving mountains, he is the younger brother when it comes to gathering fish in rivers.
In the past, Wang Xiaoli was doing the fishing by himself, but now that Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming have joined in, things have become simpler. Soon Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli have discussed where they are going to go tomorrow. It is said that Wang Xiaoli has been watching this for a long time.
There should be a big harvest in the nest, and then the two discussed what they would bring tomorrow. Zhang Peng was like a duck next to him, staying aside and listening to their discussion.
When the discussion was almost over, Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming also got up and prepared to leave. They agreed on a time for tomorrow, then returned home, tied up Dahuang and Xiaohong, and entered the house together.
"What's going on? Are the wolves on the mountain coming down?" Wang Xiufen asked as soon as she entered the house and was on the kang.
"No way, it's nothing. Che Laogangzi didn't explain it clearly. It seemed like we were just lone wolves in the past," Zhang Peng responded
"Oh, that's good. I don't know when it will be finished. This person is always on tenterhooks every day." Wang Xiufen said to herself
Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming also looked at each other after hearing this. This is probably a common thought among the villagers. If these matters are not resolved early, it will really become a worry for the villagers.
If it really doesn't work, what if he goes into the mountains to kill a bunch of people? Zhang Peng thought to himself, but he quickly gave up the idea. He still wanted to live a few more days, and he hadn't married a wife and had children yet.
In this way, Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming met up with Wang Xiaoli the next day. They originally wanted to push the cart over, but Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua firmly opposed it. This new cart would be a waste of money for hauling fishing equipment, and it would also be loaded with fish.
The fishy smell stopped them both from thinking.
Fortunately, the riverside is not too far from the village. This is a tributary of HLJ, but there are quite a lot of fish. Now the environmental protection is OK. When they pushed the cart and took the guy to the riverside, they saw that the river was already full of fish.
Several waves of people are digging holes in the ice, preparing to hang nets.
At this time, there were many people who relied on whole fish to support their families, but fortunately the river was wide and long, and there were a lot of fish caught, so people could make a living.
Wang Xiaoli did not go over to join in the fun. Instead, he took Zhang Peng and the two of them and continued downstream. When they reached a fork in the river, they stopped. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he nodded and asked to take the things away first.
The car was put down and ready to start digging holes in the ice to lower the net.
Zhao Chunming looked around and nodded secretly. The place Wang Xiaoli found was good. This place happened to be next to the mouth of Jiangchazi. It was considered to be in the slow water area. The water in the river was too fast and fish liked it here.
Gathering often yields great results here.
As Zhao Chunming cleared a piece of snow from the river to expose the ice layer underneath, Wang Xiaoli used an ice hammer to slowly poke a hole in the ice layer. As the ice hole formed, Wang Xiaoli stopped and waited.
Zhao Chunming picked up the net and then quickly chipped away the last layer of ice.
The moment it was dug, the river water quickly surged up along the bottom of the cave, as if it were a boiling pot. In a short time, it filled the entire ice cave. Wang Xiaoli was used to it, so he didn't stop.
He kept using an ice trowel to expand the bottom of the hole, while Zhao Chunming used a net to scoop up the floating ice shards from time to time and dump them upside down on the other side.
Zhang Peng looked at their operations dully. He had seen others do it before, but he didn't know what to do at this time. He was unfamiliar with these things. The most he usually did was go to the river with Zhao Chunming.
Next network, so these traditional skills are also novel and ready to start.
After Zhao Chunming quickly scooped up the ice floes and ice debris, he quickly inserted the net into the ice hole, fished it out quickly clockwise or counterclockwise, and then quickly lifted it up. Not to mention that there was something there, but
Just some small fish and shrimps, not the big fish they want.
Wang Xiaoli and Zhao Chunming seemed to have expected this, and asked Zhang Peng to pick out all the small fish. After all, the small fish stewed in sauce is also delicious when baked in big pancakes.
Obviously, although it is close to the river, the water here is still very deep, so not many can be fished out. Most of them are washed over with the current. Wang Xiaoli raised his head and was looking for another fixed point. This is very particular.
I can look at the direction of the water flow and predict the movement patterns of fish schools. Although it is winter, the fish schools under the ice are not stationary. They are also swimming slowly to eat, but they are not that active.
Why choose here instead of going to the center of the river? This is because under the seemingly calm ice, the water is still flowing rapidly, but the water in the center of the river is even more turbulent. In winter, most fish swim slowly. Basically,
For those who have not challenged the rapid current in the center of the river, there may be some very large fish that have this spirit, but this is not something that Wang Xiaoli can trap with the mesh of the hanging net.
Wang Xiaoli brought a hanging net. The mesh is not very big. It is okay to hang some fatheads, carp, and larger crucian carp and melon seeds, but no matter how big the fish is, it will not work.
"Xiao Li, how's it going? Which one should I choose next? I'll dig the ice later, you two have a rest." Zhang Peng also volunteered. He felt that it was easy to dig holes in the ice, and he really couldn't do other things.
.
"Haha. Okay, second brother, it's up to you. We just have to take a break. Don't be exhausted after a while." Wang Xiaoli said with a smile
"You're just kidding, tell me where you are now. I'm about to show off my skills. It's just destroying my enthusiasm." Zhang Peng also laughed and scolded
Then Wang Xiaoli chose another spot, and after clearing away the snow on it, Zhang Peng started working. With a hand cover, he grabbed the ice hammer with both hands and pushed hard, and a large piece of ice ballast was hammered down.
, Zhang Peng was even more motivated when he saw it.
"Hey, Xiaoli, don't tell me, this thing is very easy to use, but it came off such a big piece at once, haha." Zhang Peng smiled and showed his results to Wang Xiaoli and Zhao Chunming
"Okay, second brother, come on, we're optimistic about you." Wang Xiaoli and Zhao Chunming watched Zhang Peng working hard on the hole in the ice, then looked at each other and smiled secretly
