Chapter 160 Unprecedented Fish Catch
“Oh my God, this fish is too big. There are such big catfish in this river!”
Everyone was shocked. Suddenly, a one-meter-long earth catfish was turned out of the river. Its tail was still swinging, and it seemed that it was not completely dead.
“This must weigh thirty or forty pounds!” This was also the first time Lin Heng saw such a big native catfish in the river.
"This is indeed a good place. Look, another big grass carp has turned out. It weighs more than ten kilograms." Lin Yue grabbed Lin Heng's shoulder and pointed forward.
"Too much, too much." Li Shiwei also said excitedly.
I saw a lot of big grass carp and carp weighing more than ten kilograms, and there seemed to be some other strange things that I couldn’t see.
"Brother, you and Li Shiwei go in to catch fish. I will guard here. The water here is not strong and I can guard it by myself." The eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Lin Heng didn’t refuse, he really wanted to catch fish.
He and Li Shiwei climbed over the steep slope, took the net and started copying.
Lin Heng grabbed the head of the big catfish and pulled it directly to the shore. His uncle Li Baiquan came over and grabbed the head of the fish and pulled it to the shore.
He laughed while pulling: "Hey, this big catfish must weigh forty pounds, the effect of explosives is so good."
"You don't know if you don't explode it. There are so many big fish here. I thought it was because there were no big fish. It seems that they just don’t bite the hook. "Uncle Gao also felt a little emotional,
"It’s just that the fish are cheap." Lin Heng said with a smile. .
Facts have proved that no matter where the fish comes from, they are all cheap bones. I can feed you nothing but delicious food, and I have to resort to various means.
Well, now, the whole army has been wiped out, and there are almost no fish left in these two places.
Lin Heng and others brought back the big fish first. The biggest was the big catfish, followed by four large grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms, and five carp weighing more than ten kilograms.
The other fish are not very big. There are so many fish weighing less than ten kilograms that I can’t even count them.
“Hey, this turtle is so miserable, its stomach was beaten to pieces.” Lin Heng found an old turtle weighing five or six pounds by the water. It was already dead.
"I'm lucky, I wasn't blown up." Uncle Gao also chimed in.
There are many fried fish in the river, many of them are broken into pieces, and you can only see a fish head.
Several people had no time to pick, so the nets, big and small, went to the shore first.
After working for more than an hour, except for the fried fish and some fish that flowed downstream, most of them have been landed.
All the fish caught piled up four hills on the shore.
"It's too much, it's more than three hundred kilograms." Uncle Gao shook his head and sighed, it was too cruel this time.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many fish in two places. I guess it’s possible that it weighs 400 kilograms.” Lin Heng was also shocked.
This detonator is too powerful to fry fish, and it has a simple and crude beauty. No wonder foreign countries often use grenade to fry fish, and Lin Heng understands a lot about AK copying fish.
“Let’s scatter the fish quickly and take them back. It’s not too early.” Lin Yue said.
“Okay.”
Everyone sorted the fish first, and there was no need to separate small fish such as white strips of wheat, ears of horse, etc., they were all thrown into a pile.
Mainly classify other fish. Except for the very large individuals, which are stored separately, the rest are piles of crucian carp and carp... classified in this way.
After they were separated, they found that the most common fish were crucian carp, then small fish such as white striped wheat ears, then carp, catfish and yellow pepper, and finally grass carp.
There are five black fish, four soft-shelled turtles, one bass, and the rest are gone.
"Put it in a bag and take it away." Li Baiquan smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Well, pretend to go back." Lin Heng and others nodded.
Take out the snakeskin bag, pack the fish and carry it for four people. Uncle Gao helped with the fishing rod, net and fish guard, and carried the red carp that Lin Heng raised with water.
Back in town, someone soon discovered that they had caught so many big fish, and curiously asked: "Where did you catch this?"
"It was caught in the Huangtan River. Do you want to buy it?" Lin Heng responded with a smile.
“Haha, I don’t buy it.”
Even in the town, most people will not just buy meat and fish to eat.
I didn’t buy it, but there were a lot of people watching. When I asked them, they said they fished it.
But of course everyone didn’t believe it, thinking that they were probably from the Internet, and no one would have thought that they were bombed.
Lin Heng and others took the fish directly to the backyard. Wang Zhou was shocked when he saw everyone's catch.
“This is too much.” He sighed.
"You can take whatever fish you want to eat." Lin Heng said with a smile.
“Yes, take it as you like.” Li Shiwei also agreed.
“I’ll just take one crucian carp to eat, and I don’t want the others.” Wang Zhou said with a smile.
Lin Heng said again: "Uncle Gao, you can also take some to eat."
"Then I will take a black fish to eat." Uncle Gao thought for a while and said, but he did not refuse.
Lin Heng thought it was too little, so he took out the old turtle with its internal organs exploded: "This old turtle is also rotten. You can use it to make soup to replenish your body. It's good for your health in winter."
"No, no, you can eat it yourself." Uncle Gao shook his head. After all, it was not his explosives, and he couldn't take such expensive ones.
"It's okay." Li Baiquan also said with a smile.
But Uncle Gao insisted not to do it, and Lin Heng was too lazy to talk nonsense. He took the old turtle and took care of it. He chopped it into pieces, blanched it and stewed it in Uncle Gao's pot. He also added some from the store. Gastrodia elata and Codonopsis pilosula.
"Hey, you are too polite." Uncle Gao was helpless, but also very happy. It is really rare for a young man to treat himself so sincerely.
Lin Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are getting old, so you need to eat to replenish your body. We catch them often, and there is no shortage of them."
He did this from the bottom of his heart to protect these home guards. The admiration for a national hero is not because of his background or anything else.
Although this era is poor, it is at least peaceful and has its own sovereignty. This was achieved by these heroes. Naturally, we should not let them suffer when they encounter it.
"Then I accept the favor. Let's go hunting in a few days." Uncle Gao patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, I will come down to pick you up personally then." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
"We have already weighed the fish here. How many pounds do you think it is?" Li Shiwei said with a smile when Lin Heng walked out of the hall.
“Four hundred pounds?” Lin Heng asked curiously.
"Not only that, the fish weighed 420 kilograms, the largest catfish weighed 42 kilograms, and the three grass carps also exceeded 15 kilograms." Li Shiwei said.
"That's okay." Lin Heng said in shock.
"Small fish such as white strips weigh 53 kilograms, crucian carp weighs more than 100 kilograms, and most of the rest are carp and grass carp." Lin Yue said happily.
"Not bad, not bad. Uncle, you have become rich. Hurry up and load the carriage, take it back and kill it to make dried fish." Lin Heng said with a smile.
He mainly came here to play. There are a lot of fish at home, and only two fresh ones are enough to eat. He let them take the rest home.
“We have become developed.” Li Baiquan said with a smile.
"Okay." Everyone packed the fish, dragged them onto the carriage and pulled them back. Several big fish were thrown directly into the carriage without covering them, and they didn't want to cover them.
It is now 5:30 in the afternoon, and it took an hour to bring the fish home.
I met a lot of people along the way, and after some discussion, they decided that what they were doing was for fishing, and they bluffed a group of people into not giving up their money.
Lin Heng laughed from ear to ear along the way. No wonder the fisherman always gets lost when he catches a big fish.
"It's a pity that I didn't catch it, otherwise it would be so cool!"
Lin Heng said with emotion as he looked at the scenery of the mountains.
"You're not bad, that black fish is not small either." Lin Yue patted his shoulder and said.
Li Shiwei also smiled and said: "Besides, let's just say that fishing is fine. Doesn't it count as fishing if you pull it up from the river?"
Lin Heng nodded and smiled: "You're right, that's right. We caught one each."
The group of people returned to Hongfeng Village talking and laughing, and they all walked in high spirits.
Mother Lin and father Lin were digging sweet potatoes today. When they saw so many fish, their jaws dropped.
"Two cannons blew up so many?" Father Lin couldn't believe it.
"I said I caught it, Dad, do you believe it?" Lin Heng said with a smile.
Mother Lin said first: "Unless the sun comes out in the west."
Lin Heng: "...Mom, you will lose your son if you do this again."
Mother Lin Hehe sneered: "I don't believe it."
Lin Heng spread his hands: "Okay, it was indeed fried. The main reason is that the place was chosen well this time. The water flow in the backwater bay is slow, and it looks like it is hiding big fish. place.”
Li Baiquan looked at everyone and said: "Stop talking, get a mat out quickly, let's kill the fish, salt it and hang it up."
"And we have divided the fish, we are 70%, You’re 30%,” he said with a smile.
Father Lin shook his head and said: "Whatever the difference, we can just take a few to eat. You brought the explosives."
Li Shiwei shook his head: "Uncle, don't talk about it. It was agreed upon by us, and 70% is enough.”
“Yes, dad, let’s get started, don’t worry about it so much,” Lin Heng waved his hand.
This allocation is still reasonable. Although he and his eldest brother did not provide explosives, they also helped a lot. It is impossible not to take any.
"Yes, hurry up and dry it before we take it back, otherwise these hundreds of kilograms of fish will kill people if they are carried up the mountain." Li Shiwei also said with a smile.
"That's okay." Mother Lin turned around and went into the house to get the mat.
Lin Heng took home all the black fish, carp, and crucian carp that were still alive and caught them and threw them into the fish pond. These kinds of fish have very long lives. As long as there is water, they will not die in one or two hours. Lose.
These live fish are kept in fish ponds and you can eat them fresh if you want, but they are much more delicious than dried fish.
"I'm really exhausted. Come and press my buttons." Lin Heng sat in the pavilion and looked at his wife and said.
Xiulan looked at him, blinked, and said with a smile: "It stinks so bad, I won't touch you." Dirty." Lin Heng said deliberately.
But he really couldn’t bear to part with his wife who smelled so good.
"Come in, I've prepared delicious food for you." Xiulan said with a smile, Xiaoxia was taken away by Caiyun, and she and Lin Heng were the only two people at home.
After entering the room, Xiulan heated up the fried pork with sour beans, brought it out together with the soft pancake, rolled it up and handed it to Lin Heng.
"Why don't you feed me, my hands smell like fish." Lin Heng chuckled.
"Then I'll try my best to satisfy you." Xiulan looked at him and sat next to him to feed him.
“It’s really good, it tastes so much more delicious.” Lin Heng said with satisfaction. It’s great that his wife still feeds him when he comes back from playing for a day.
Xiulan puffed up her cheeks, took a bite immediately, and hummed: "Eat the rest of me." Lin Heng laughed: "Thank you, wife, for the reward."
He ate with a big mouthful.
Xiulan: "..."
She is really convinced by this person.
After filling their stomachs, the two went to the old house. Lin Heng pointed at the big catfish on the bamboo mat and said with a smile: "Xiulan, do you believe I caught this?"
< br>
"Don't lie to me." Xiulan blinked, looking unbelieving.
Lin Heng: "..."
"Xiulan, you have changed, you don't even believe me." Lin Heng cried.
Xiulan spread her hands and said innocently: "The main reason is that you can't even catch grouper in the stream."
Lin Heng was silenced.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, no one will believe it." Mother Lin laughed.
Lin Heng looked at his mother and said resolutely: "Mom, I have broken up with you. Don't recognize me as your son."
Mother Lin didn't care at all: "Hey, I'm so scared. Then you herd the horses and sheep by yourself?"
"The breakup has nothing to do with it." Lin Heng suddenly lost his temper.
Suddenly the whole yard laughed, and the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Mom, just wait. Next time I will definitely catch a big fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds." Lin Heng looked at his mother and said.
"Yes, I believe it." Mother Lin patted his shoulder to express her belief.
Lin Heng didn’t want to talk to his mother anymore. It was so boring, so he just knew how to bully him.
Everyone poured all the fish on it, and Lin Heng said: "We divided the work. Some people removed the scales, some cut open the belly of the fish, and some were responsible for removing the internal organs and gills."
The work was divided, and the family joined together to start processing the fish. Lin Heng gave his dagger to his wife and asked her to cut the fish.
Cutting off the guts and gills of fish hurts his hands, and removing fish scales can easily get all over his body. It's also hard to wear gloves. He doesn't want his wife to do this.
After the division of labor was completed, Lin Heng and Li Shiwei were responsible for removing the fish scales, and the work of removing the internal organs was left to Lin's father, uncle, eldest brother, and others. Their hands had calluses and could not be hurt.
"Frying fish is great for a while, but killing fish is really tiring."
After working for a while, Lin Heng missed the electric scale remover. That thing is so fast.
“I have a sore back.” Li Shiwei also shook his head. This job of scraping fish scales is really not fun.
When everyone was killing fish, many villagers came to watch and were shocked to see so many fish.
Some people curiously asked where the fish came from. Lin Heng and others naturally said that it was caught in a net, not fried.
Everyone didn't eat anything and worked from half past six to nine o'clock before all the fish were cleaned.
Everyone smelled fishy, and there were two big basins filled with fish offal. Xiongba had a round belly after eating, and lay on the ground motionless.
Except for some fish and white strips that I will eat in the past two days, all other fish were split in half to make it easier to dry.
The two large wooden basins are filled with marinated fish and can be hung up to dry in the morning.
In the evening, everyone just ate pickled cabbage noodles and rested.
Lin Heng took several baths to get rid of the fishy smell from his body.
Fortunately, there are various cleaning supplies he bought from the city at home now, otherwise it would really be impossible to wash them off.
Early the next morning, Lin Heng opened his eyes and saw that his wife was not asleep next to him, so he immediately pulled her over and hugged her.
"Are you feeling unwell?" He touched his wife's head, but she didn't have a fever.
"No, I'm in a daze." Xiulan shook her head and smiled, tied her hair with a rubber band, and returned to Lin Heng's arms.
In the past six months, Lin Heng went up mountains and down rivers, and exercised regularly with bows and arrows. The muscles on his body became more and more obvious, and Xiulan became more comfortable leaning on them. She was deeply attracted by Lin Heng's strong male hormones.
And because Xiulan is not as tired as before and does not have to do heavy farm work, coupled with Lin Heng’s use of moisturizing and skin care products, her skin becomes whiter and more beautiful than before, as if she were water. Just average.
"It's raining lightly outside, do you want to continue today's barbecue?" Xiulan asked against Lin Heng's chest.
Lin Heng inhaled the scent of his wife's hair: "If it's just this kind of drizzle, then go ahead. You don't want to go."
"I want to go, everything is ready." Xiulan nodded. , now this small life is what she has been looking forward to.
"But I still want to rest for a while and don't move around." She changed her position and lay on Lin Heng's chest like a kitten.
Although Xiao Linheng inevitably goes online every morning, he can still control it and it's good to stay quietly.
After lying in bed for half an hour, Xiulan said: "Get up, I have to take a fish ball in the morning."
"Okay."
The two got up and washed up. Lin Heng took Xiulan to do Tai Chi to exercise. After finishing, he also did fifty push-ups and dozens of sets to exercise abdominal muscles. training actions.
Archery is naturally also essential, and the ability to eat cannot be lost.
Xiulan went to cook, and Lin Heng woke Xiaoxia up.
Xiaoxia had a runny nose recently, so Lin Heng put on an extra piece of clothing for her and took out a small stove to make some ginger juice and brown sugar water for her to drink.
After drinking tea, Xiulan also made breakfast. Since she was going to have a barbecue at noon, she just made a simple soup in the morning.
“Look, the sun is shining.” After dinner, Lin Heng pointed to the sky and said.
Xiulan shook her head and said: "The weather is really weird, but the sun is good, so we can dry the fish."
Looking at the sky, Xiulan went to take out half of the catfish and said : "Let's make this bit of catfish into fish balls."
This is the forty-two-pound catfish. After they were separated last night, Xiulan took half of it back.
"Okay, I'll help." Lin Heng nodded. The fish balls he made were delicious and suitable for Xiaoxia to eat.
"I'll hold it down, you scrape it." Xiulan handed the kitchen knife to Lin Heng.
When they make fish balls, they don’t chop the fish meat directly, but scrape it bit by bit with a knife, which makes it more delicate.
From half past seven to nine o'clock, two people took turns to scrape off all the fish meat. The snow-white fish meat scraped into a big basin.
After hanging the fish balls, Xiulan handed them to Lin Heng: "You stir it in one direction, and I'll get some onion and ginger water."
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.
After stirring the fish for a while, Xiulan got a large bowl of green onion and ginger water and added it to it, then added two egg whites, some salt and lard, and stirred them together.
Keep stirring until the fish meat sticks to your hands and cannot come up and down. At this time, you can make fish balls. After pinching the fish balls and putting them in the water, they will become white and smooth, full of the fragrance of fish meat.
Authentic fish balls do not require starch. After making them, Lin Heng felt that his hands were almost useless. It was really not easy.
Xiulan took the fish balls into the house and cooked them over low heat until they were completely set.
Lin Heng couldn't help but taste one directly. It was smooth and smooth, with the aroma of fish meat, and almost no fishy smell left.
"Come on, Xiaoxia, try one." Lin Heng fed his daughter half.
Xiaoxia was instantly captured by the delicious fish balls. She hugged Lin Heng's legs and acted coquettishly: "Great time! I want more, daddy."
"I'll make some for her to eat. Just in case she wants to eat barbecue later." Xiulan said, the fish balls are easy to digest and they are just for Xiaoxia to eat.
I stewed a soup with fish bones and winter melon, and soon a bowl of fish soup with milky white color and full of fragrant winter melon fish balls was ready.
"It smells so good~" Xiaoxia followed Xiulan like a puppy. The winter melon and fish balls were added with a little coriander. Lin Heng couldn't resist the deliciousness.
"Sit on the bench and feed you." Xiulan looked at her and said.
Xiaoxia immediately sat down obediently, Xiulan divided the fish balls into two halves and fed her slowly.
Not only did Xiaoxia finish the bowl of fish balls and winter melon, but she also didn’t leave any soup behind, which showed that the taste was indeed good enough.
And Lin Heng also prepared and packed up everything he needed for the barbecue.
"Let's go directly." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.
"Okay." Xiulan pulled Xiaoxia away.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are also ready, and their three sons can’t wait to have a picnic.
For children in rural areas, it is incredible for their parents to take them on a picnic together.
"Brother, why did you bring a chicken? Fish and beef are enough." Lin Heng looked at his eldest brother and said helplessly.
"There are many people, and when we finish eating, the roast chicken is so fragrant that I want to eat it myself." Lin Yue said with a smile.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan is also very kind now, and said with a smile: "It would be unreasonable for the five of us to take nothing."
"That's okay." Lin Heng was helpless.
In the old house, Li Shiwei had also gotten up, carrying a ten kilograms of large grass carp and two kilograms of small white strips, and they went directly to Hongfeng Mountain.
Mother Lin also prepared a lot of dishes and planned to call Lin Heng and his third father over for dinner at noon.
Today is already November 1st. As autumn arrives in the north of the Qinling Mountains, it gets cold very quickly. It has been chilly in the mornings these days.
“I want to play on the swing!”
Upon Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Wei and Lin Tao took the lead in running to grab the swing. Fortunately, there were two, and both of them could play.
Xiaoxia looked at Lin Yong, who was about the same age as herself, wanting to speak but not daring to.
“This place is so beautiful.” Liu Juan said with emotion, it was her first time here.
Lin Heng laughed, looked at everyone and said, "Let's start first, raise the charcoal fire, skewer the beef and pork, and marinate the fish."
"Okay!" Everyone was very motivated and started to work.
After a while, Caiyun came with Lin Hai and Tian Yan.
Tian Yan attended the Lin family's party for the first time. Although they were all young people, she was a little shy.
Lin Hai's face was full of joy, and he took her hand and introduced to everyone: "This is my partner Tian Yan, everyone must know her."
"Hello everyone." Tian Yan greeted with a smile, let go of Lin Hai's hand, and pulled Caiyun.
"Of course we know each other, Brother Lin Hai, you must treat my teacher well." Caiyun said with a smile.
After Tian Yan finished greeting everyone, Caiyun took her to play here.
The scenery of Hongfeng Mountain shocked Tian Yan, and the cabin in the forest made her look at Lin Heng with admiration. She didn't know that this man actually had such a sentiment.
But she knew that all this was caused by Lin Lian's daughter-in-law Xiulan. She heard Caiyun talk a lot about Lin Heng and Xiulan, so she instinctively went to play with Xiulan with Caiyun. I want to see what kind of woman Xiulan is.
If it’s too late tomorrow, I’ll slap myself live live
