Regardless of things on the Internet, when brothers Li Bu and Li Hong carried the big eels and turtles back to the village, they soon caused quite a stir.
A passing woman saw the big eels and soft-shelled turtles that Li Bu and the others were carrying, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, these big eels are so big, and there are so many big soft-shelled turtles, Xiao Bu, Xiao Hong."
Did you put this in to raise it? Why is it so big?"
"Maybe my dad or uncle put them in. The pond hasn't been cleared for several years, so it's not surprising that there are such big grass carp. The big grass carp weighs almost 20 kilograms, hahaha..."
The people in the village were all familiar with each other, so when they heard someone asking questions, Li Bu and Li Hong immediately answered them with a smile.
This woman had just returned from working in her orchard, so when she heard what Li Bu and Li Hong said, she immediately asked them anxiously, "Do you still have any large grass carp weighing more than 20 kilograms?"
If so, sell me one, my family will use it tomorrow..."
Lao Chao people like to worship gods, which is a custom inherited from ancient times.
Moreover, the intensity with which the old trend people worship gods is a bit scary. If they want, they can worship gods every day, 365 days a year.
And you may not believe it, but in fact, old fashion people often worship gods. In fact, it is just because they want to eat meat. This is not a joke, it is true.
For example, if you want to eat chicken, the old fashion people will say that the weather will be good tomorrow, catch a chicken to worship the gods, then kill a chicken and come back, then choose a god to worship, and then eat chicken that day.
.
For example, if you want to eat duck, the trendy people will say that the weather will be bad tomorrow, catch a duck to worship a certain water god, let him bless you, and then eat duck that day.
Then pork can also be worshiped, big fish can also be worshiped, and fruits, snacks, biscuits, snacks, etc. can also be worshiped.
Anyway, if you want to eat something, just ask God to take the blame. After all, it sounds better to say that you want to worship God than to say that you are greedy, right?
In addition, the old trendsetters also have a very special habit and custom.
That is, when buying fish, you are accustomed to buying big fish, such as grass carp, which is less than three or four pounds here in Laochao. Even the fishmongers will not accept your fish. The fish they like to collect and buy are all big fish.
The bigger it is, the easier it is to sell.
At the same time, there is also a custom in Laochao. This habit is to eat fish without finishing it. Usually, only the middle meat of the fish is eaten, and then the fish head and tail are thrown away. The meaning of this is that there is more than enough every year [only during the New Year]
so】.
Returning to the topic, when they heard that the woman wanted to buy fish, Li Bu and Li Hong quickly smiled and nodded and said, "There are many more. The fish are now being raised in the river below my fish pond. If you want to buy it,
Just bring a snakeskin bag over there, my dad and the others are still catching fish there..."
"Also, okay, then I'll go home and get the money now. It's at your fish pond, right? Then I can go there by myself later..."
Now every household in the village has an income, so the women who are now able to live a better life and have more money in their pockets, after hearing Li Bu and Li Hong say that there are still fish, they immediately smiled and said to go home and get the money.
"Okay, then you can go there later."
After smiling and replying to the woman a few words, Li Bu and Li Hong smiled and carried the big eels and walked forward again, passing by Li Wanfu's house and heading towards Li Bu's new house.
When passing by Li Wanfu's house, Liu Yan and Lin Xiang saw that they had no intention of stopping, so they shouted to them, "Where are you going to take the fish?"
"These are soft-shelled turtles and big eels. We are going to raise them in the pond at my brother's house, and then wait a few days to get them to eat..." Hearing his mother shouting, Li Honghe
Li Bu then stopped, opened the basket and showed it to Liu Yan and the others.
This is incredible to see.
Liu Yan and Lin Xiang didn't say anything, but Xiao Bu and the little guy quit. Each of them brought a small hat and hung a small kettle, and they pestered Li Bu and refused to leave.
Speechlessly, he took the two little guys to the new house. After raising the big eels and soft-shell turtles in two separate pools, Li Bu took the two little guys to the fish pond more helplessly.
After the two little guys arrived at the fish pond, they immediately started screaming non-stop.
When they saw Li Wanfu, they called Grandpa in surprise.
When they saw Li Aiguo, they were surprised and called Grandpa Patriot.
When they saw Li Wanda, they called Da Bo Gong.
Even when they saw Wang Mingyu and Wang Shichao catching fish, the two little ones were so surprised that they called them uncle and aunt.
It was obvious that the two little guys wanted to go into the water to catch fish, so Li Bu, who had been prepared for it, took out the walking stick and tied the two little guys to a bitter tree next to the fish pond.
Went to the love tree.
After being tied under the tree by Li Bu, Xiao Bu immediately flattened his mouth and shouted to Li Wanfu: "Grandpa, grandpa, dad bullies me, he won't let me catch fish, I want to catch fish,
Little Boo wants to catch fish!!”
"Hey, my good grandson, the water below is very deep, so don't come down. Tell grandpa what kind of fish you want, and grandpa will catch it for you to play with..." This is not a joke, little one said.
As soon as Xiao Bu opened his mouth, Li Wanfu immediately ignored the fish in the water and happily came forward to take care of his little grandson's mood.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao Bu's coquettishness was effective, the little guy immediately followed suit and said coquettishly to Li Wanfu, "Grandpa, we want to see some nice fish, can you catch them for us and come over to play with them?"
Hearing what the two little guys said, Li Wanfu immediately smiled and nodded. Then he smiled, fetched some water with a bucket, put it in front of the two little guys, and then found some nice-looking ones for them.
Come and put the fighting fish in the water for them to play with.
After playing with the fish, the two little guys immediately stopped crying and making trouble. Each of them held a small bamboo and just happily started teasing the little fish.
But before the little ones finished, they were attracted by another thing. The last group of people in the village who came to buy fish came over, and their eyes were immediately attracted by the big fish in the big fishing net.
Looking at the big grass carp that was bigger than himself, Xiaobu was immediately frightened and hid behind the little guy, and said cautiously, "Sister, sister, is that a shark? It's so big..."
"I don't know what kind of fish it is, but if you catch such a big fish and cook it home, it must be delicious..." Unlike Xiaobu's fear, seeing the big grass carp
The little guy was so greedy that he drooled.
And just when the little guy was craving for fish, Li Bu, Li Hong, Li Aiguo, Wang Shichao, Li Wanda, and Li Wanfu, after a morning of hard work, finally caught all the fish in the fish pond.
.
After catching the fish, Li Wanfu blocked the water outlet to prevent the fish hidden in the mud from emerging out of water and being sunburned to death.
After finishing, the group of people cleaned themselves up by the river, and then started to go home, preparing to wait at home for Liu Yan and the others to prepare lunch and then have lunch...
Just when Li Bu and the others were returning home, a spectacular scene occurred in Lijia Village. There were fifty-two households in Lijia Village. At this time, every household was killing fish, and the fish they killed were all bought from Li Bu's family.
