Chapter 1547 Household Affairs (fourth update)
Baozhu's wife said: "Xiaoyun's mother's father broke his leg. Daping has been helping Xiaoyun's mother's family these days. They are far away from each other at night. Didn’t come back.”
“Wangfu was in a state of chaos at home. He must have had a drink last night. Singing a little song."
"I didn't know what it was about, but I got into a quarrel with Granny Dayun."
"I was washing my feet at that moment. I heard a lot of noise in the yard next door, and I also heard Grandma Xiaoyun saying that she was going to find a rope to hang herself on.”
"Later, Xiaoyun probably went to persuade her, but was slapped by Wangfu. Xiaoyun went back to her room and cried."
"Grandma Xiaoyun hugged the quilt and went to the woodshed to sleep. Wangfu was alone in the yard cursing for a while, fearing that he was too drunk, he went back to his room to sleep," Baozhu's wife said.
After hearing all this, Yang Ruoqing looked thoughtful.
It is common for people in the countryside to quarrel and fight.
However, Brother Daping was not at home, and Granny Xiaoyun went to sleep in the woodshed, which was a good opportunity to deal with Wangfu.
Well, call Xiao Yaxue and Na Risong over. She, a big-bellied woman, is responsible for planning and letting these two masters take action, hehe.
Yang Ruoqing and Baozhu's wife stopped talking about the Wangfu family because more and more villagers came to watch the excitement, making it inconvenient to discuss this topic.
Furthermore, in the fish pond in front, the first wave of nets was cast down. At this moment, Yang Huazhong and other men were pulling a large horizontal net from both sides of the fish pond to the shore.
At this time, the sun was three poles high.
The sun shines down on the fish, big and small, caught in the fishing net.
The scales of the fish glowed with a dazzling golden light under the sunlight.
There are a lot of them, all caught in the middle of the fishing net, jumping happily and swaying their fish tails.
Some smaller fish are stuck in the mesh of the fishing net. The first time the net is pulled down, there are many fruits.
Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo were very happy, and everyone watching on the shore was also very excited.
The children jumped up and cheered.
"Wow, there are so many big bastards, Qing'er, I have to go over there to grab the first wave. There are many people, so just stand here and don't move, so as not to turn around and bump into each other."
Baozhu Before her daughter-in-law left, she did not forget to warn Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing smiled happily: "Okay, sister-in-law, go and do your work, I will stand here and watch."
Baozhu's wife bumped on her butt and ran towards the end of the net, Yang Ruoqing saw Xiaoyun on the opposite side and rushed over there.
Over there, Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo were surrounded by a crowd. Everyone was shouting and shouting, wanting to pick fish quickly.
Blacksmith Luo raised his hands and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, everyone, come one by one. Those who have made reservations with me will be given priority. Those who have not made reservations, please wait a while, everyone will have a share."
On the side, Yang Huazhong He also smiled and said: "This is just the first wave. There will be several more waves later. The real big fish is behind!"
Everyone laughed.
Tiejiang Luo and a few people were busy weighing and buying fish. This was really the freshest fish.
Just out of the water!
The villagers who bought the fish went home happily.
I didn’t find the right one, so I kept waiting. There were still many people watching.
On Yang Huazhong's side, he began to cast the net again.
Cast the net in waves, close the net, and bring the fish in the pond into the net in waves.
The model of fishing net used at the beginning was obviously different from the one used later.
The big fish were picked up first, and none of the small fish or shrimps behind them could escape.
When men do it, people around them also see it.
Yang Ruoqing was also one of the onlookers, watching with great interest.
This reminded her of hot pot and Haidilao.
In the end, everything in the bottom of the pot will be fished out and eaten, hahaha... As it approaches noon, almost all the fish in the fish pond have been caught.
The last few small fish and shrimps were too small to be caught.
There may be some fish hidden in the areas with accumulated water at the bottom of the pond, as well as in some mud pits.
Blacksmith Luo said to the onlookers: "Anyone who is not afraid of the cold can go and touch the rest. If you touch it, it will be yours, hahaha..."
< br>The word "profit" comes first, and we are all brave men.
What's more, they were waiting for this sentence!
Immediately, several men and young men took off their shoes and socks and entered the pond. They bent over and poked their buttocks and groped in the mud.
Soon, a man caught a crucian carp as long as chopsticks, and he seemed so excited.
The man threw the big crucian carp to his wife, who was already waiting on the shore. The people around him were inspired and started to throw another batch.
Then, mullet weighing more than a pound, crucian carp weighing half a pound, as well as some small yellow croaker, fat-headed fish, white silver carp, and small carp were all groped out from every blind corner.
After a thorough search, almost all the creatures in the fish pond were extinct.
Many women and children gathered around the shallows on the shore to pick up small fish smaller than their little fingers.
Pick up these small fishes, wrap them in wheat flour and fry them in an oil pan, then sprinkle some salt and pepper and stir them.
Hey, let’s prepare some food!
Or chop it with pickled red pepper, ginger, and garlic, and put it in a jar for storage.
Hey, that’s the homemade dried fish chili sauce made by the farmer.
In the twelfth lunar month, roast radish and take a spoonful of it to enhance the flavor.
In the first month of the year, guests come and make a small bowl to cheer them up, and the hot days go by in a prosperous manner.
Year after year, I don’t ask for great wealth, I just ask for abundant food and clothing, and a harmonious and beautiful family.
When Yang Ruoqing returned to her parents' home, there were about ten loads of barrels placed in the yard of Yang Huazhong's house.
Inside the barrel are all fish.
Put them in different buckets according to the variety and weight.
These fish are waiting to be sent away.
Where to send it?
Qingshui Town and the two restaurants in Huguang County must send some to them.
The restaurant only closed on the 24th. Today is 20, so it can still be open for three more days.
In addition, the fishmongers from Qingshui Town and nearby towns should be coming over soon.
To dig fish ponds and raise fish, the market must be found in advance.
"Qing'er, come and see, these fish here are intended for the restaurant."
"The ones over there are reserved for the fishmongers who come over in the afternoon. .”
"According to your arrangement, there are still two barrels left. What do you think?"
Blacksmith Luo called Yang Ruoqing over, introduced them in detail, and then asked Yang Ruoqing for her opinion.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the two buckets of fish left behind and said with a smile: "The fish pond has a good harvest this year. In the two buckets of fish, our family has enough for the New Year."
"The rest, give them to relatives and friends, and share them with everyone."
Blacksmith Luo nodded repeatedly, and Yang Huazhong beside him was also very happy.
And those who came to help, Yang Huazhou, Chang Geng and others, were also very satisfied.
After dividing these two large buckets of fish, I almost don’t need to buy any fish for the Chinese New Year.
