Chapter 168: Shaved ice to catch fish
Looking at the Maotai that Li Aimin took out, Li Laogen said: "Isn't this also Maotai? It's the same as what my eldest grandson brought me."
“Dad, it’s true that this is Moutai, but it’s not the same as yours. Maotai is different."
Li Laogen curled his lips and said, "What's the difference?"
"Dad, this is for sale only." Li Aimin. He also deliberately revealed the words "exclusively for sale".
It's a pity that he found the wrong person, because Li Laogen didn't know how to read at all.
Soon Li Aimin also reacted, and quickly handed it to Li Aiguo and said, "Brother, can you take a look?"
Li Aiguo took it over, took a look, nodded and said, "Dad, this is okay. It’s really for sale only.”
“So what if it’s for sale only?”
“Ugh!”
No one refuted this, because he was right! No matter what kind of wine, in general, it is still drinkable.
“Oh, I didn’t know you didn’t know the goods, so I wouldn’t have brought this over. I would have just brought you a few bottles of ordinary Maotai.”
“What, your dad, I’ll give it back. Can’t you drink a few bottles of wine?”
“No, of course you can drink as much as you want, as long as I can buy it for your son.”
As for Li Jiayi, he was speechless when he heard his father's words.
There is no difference between this and not saying it. He can buy it. At his current level, if he wants to buy Moutai, he doesn’t know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
The first thing he couldn't do was to take out the Moutai liquor tickets. Without the tickets, no matter how much money he had, it was useless.
But grandpa doesn’t know! It’s still so delicious!
At this moment, grandma took out a few red envelopes and gave them to Li Jiayi and three siblings.
As for the two cousins and the younger sister, they should have already been given it. This can be seen from their reactions.
This meal lasted for more than an hour. After we were full of wine and food, we began to arrange a place to stay.
My parents and two sisters arranged to stay at my uncle’s house.
Uncle, my father lives in the same house with his two cousins.
Auntie, I live in the same house with my two sisters and my cousin.
As for Li Jiayi, of course he was kept by his grandma and lived in the same room with her and grandpa at night.
Li Jiayi didn't care, he had slept like this since he was a child, and he slept like this every time he came over.
Because I arrived late, of course I couldn’t have a meal, just sleep and leave the next day.
Li Aimin decided to stay here for a day. He had no choice but to start working in a few days after returning. He didn’t know when he would come over next time.
Don’t talk about staying one more day, even if it’s just a few more days, Li Jiayi will have no problem.
There is no need to go to other places to visit relatives. He has not gone to Master's house now. When he returns, he will go to Master's house. This year has basically passed.
No words for a night.
After dinner the next morning, Li Jiayi saw his cousin Li Chengqian waving to him outside.
Li Jiayi hurriedly went out and asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Jiayi, let's go catch fish, will you go?"
"Catch fish? Brother, where can we catch fish in this freezing and snowy world?"
Li Cheng looked around and saw no one and said, "Of course, go to the river!"
"Go to the river, I said, brother, how can you catch such thick ice? Huh?”
Li Chengqian looked at him and said, “Just dig a hole out and come out. Because the ice is thick, the fish are starved of oxygen. If you dig out a hole in the ice, the fish will come over by themselves.”
“Ugh!”
Li Jiayi didn't expect his cousin to be so courageous. You must know that the thicker the ice, the more dangerous it is.
If a person falls, there is no possibility of rescue because the ice is too thick.
Unless you have very good water skills and can swim back to the cave entrance by yourself, otherwise the fun will basically be over.
It’s so difficult to break ice above, let alone underwater.
"How about it? Are you going?"
"Okay, let's go! I'll also see what's going on in the river now."
"Yeah! Let's go."
My cousin and the others are not unprepared. They have fish scoops and some I prepared a pickaxe, this one is for shaving ice.
More than twenty minutes later, the three people arrived at the river.
Li Jiayi didn’t expect that there were so many people here. He originally thought it was just the three of them!
When I got here, I realized that it was not the case. At this time, there were already many people on the river.
The tools they bring are basically the same as them. Some people are still looking for a place, but some people have already started shaving ice.
“Let’s go, let’s find a place quickly and start shaving ice.” The cousin Li Chengqian said.
“Hmm!”
The ice on the river is very thick and full of potholes. It seems that someone caught fish here a long time ago.
"Brother, let's go here!" Li Jiayi pointed at a place and said.
"Okay, then here."
The place Li Jia pointed to is in the middle of the river. Although there are many traces of cave entrances nearby, they have all been refrozen.
It has no impact on catching fish at all, the main thing is whether there are fish below.
If there are no fish, it will be the same anywhere.
First, clear out the top layer of snow that has been trampled by people to expose the ice below.
Then the cousin started digging with a pickaxe.
The ice was too thick, and within a short time, my cousin started sweating on his forehead.
"Brother, let me do it!" Second cousin Li Chenghou said.
"Okay, you dig for a while." Li Jia took a look and found that the tank was just a small pit, and he didn't know how thick it was underneath.
Li Jiayi was even worried about whether he could dig it out at noon.
After another ten minutes, the second cousin was also exhausted.
Li Jiayi said at this time: "Second brother, let me dig for a while!"
Hearing what he said, the second cousin hesitated. Originally, they had no intention of letting him. Li Jiayi works.
But looking at the current situation, it's impossible not to do it. The ice is a little too thick today.
In terms of strength, the two cousins cannot compare with him, and they are not even comparable.
Although the two cousins work every day, when it comes to strength, it is estimated that the two of them together are not as good as Li Jiayi.
After digging for a long time, the pickaxe went down and the ice was cut through. The two cousins also heard the sound of digging through the ice and hurriedly came up to check.
"Jiayi, come on, leave it to me!" The cousin stretched out his hand and said.
"Okay." Li Jia handed over a pickaxe and asked the cousin to start digging.
The ice layer has been dug through, and the next step is much simpler. You only need to expand the hole bit by bit.
In less than half an hour, the three people worked together and finally expanded the hole to about sixty or seventy centimeters in diameter.
The next step is to wait. When I shaved the ice just now, I must have scared away the fish.
We still have to wait for the fish to come back. As long as the entrance of the cave is still there, the nearby fish will definitely come.
You must know that there is a serious lack of oxygen under the ice!
"Brother, give me the fish scoop." Li Jiayi said.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll fish a few times to see if there are any fish."
"Don't do it. If there is a fish, it will come out on its own. You This scooping probably scared away the fish.”
"Okay."
Seeing that nothing happened to him, Li Jiayi wandered around.
There must be a person watching next to the hole, not only to see if any fish come out, but also to prevent the hole from freezing.
Yes, the temperature is very low now. If you are not careful, the hole will freeze again.
People look at it, it is frozen and broken inside, and then scooped out with a fish scoop.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to noon. Not to mention, I actually caught a fish, and there were two of them. What was speechless was that the two fish added up to three or two.
At this time, Li Jiayi came from a distance, carrying two big fish weighing four to five kilograms.
"Jiayi, where did you get this fish?" Looking at the two fish, Li Chengqian hurriedly came up and asked.
I just saw someone else catching a fish, so I bought it.
“Ugh!”
The two of them were so helpless! It’s better to be a younger brother! If you have money, you don’t need to catch it yourself. If you want fish, you can just buy it with money.
In fact, I didn’t buy this from someone else! I don’t know if there are too many people catching fish, but there are no big fish in the river at all.
Li Jiayi turned around in a big circle and saw no one caught a big fish. He had no choice but to take two out of the space.
Of course, when he took out the fish, he found a place where there was no one.
Along the way, no matter who asked, I bought it, which made many people look envious!
You know, these two fish weigh more than ten kilograms! No matter who you are, you can improve your life.
Save some food, you can actually eat several meals.
"Brother, let's go back. Grandma will make some for us at noon."
"Well! Let's go back! There's no point in waiting. There aren't any big fish at all."
“Okay.”
Then the three brothers started walking home.
As soon as we got home, grandma came over and asked: "Grandson, where have you been?"
"Grandma, we went to catch fish." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
“Catch fish?”
“Yes! Go catch fish in the river.”
Li Jiayi is excited! I didn't see grandma's expression change at all.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiayi finished speaking, grandma started to get angry.
"You two brats actually took your brother to catch fish in the river. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said quickly : "Grandma, it's not dangerous, not dangerous at all."
Li Aimin didn't care, because he knew better than anyone else that if Li Jiayi went crazy, he would be much crazier than his two nephews.
What does it mean to catch a fish in the river?
"Son, did you catch these two fish?" Li Aimin looked at the two big fish Li Cheng was holding, then turned to ask Li Jiayi.
"No, there are no fish in the river at all. I bought them with money."
"The ones you bought are not bad. If you can buy fish with money, it means you are lucky. Not bad.
“I said Li Aimin, what’s wrong with you? Your son went to the river to make holes in the ice to catch fish! ”
"Mom, don't be excited. I've done even crazier things. What's this? You're just making too much fuss."
"You..." The old lady didn't know what to say.
Because she completely believed what Li Aimin said. He knew very well that her eldest grandson was not worried.
Li Jiayi and Li Aimin didn't take it seriously, and the two cousins also escaped grandma's scolding.
This also made the two people breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, the three of them went out all morning and added another dish to the family.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
