Chapter 182 This fish has become a spirit!

Tao Daqiang came over in the afternoon to prepare for launching the net. Because Li Long entered the mountain, the big tire was deflated beforehand, and then inflated again. After being tied up, he took the water paddle and net to Xiaohaizi.

Tao Daqiang once again witnessed Li Long's "stunt" of stirring water with both hands and placing a net with his mouth, and he was very envious.

Eight nets were caught this time. Li Long mainly thought that he and Tao Daqiang would sell fish separately tomorrow and catch more.

After setting the net, it was still early to check the time. Li Long once again found a suitable place and began to practice casting the net.

Don't be hasty when casting the net. Shake it out first, spread the net in a small circle in front of you like feeding rice to chickens, and then start to collect the rope.

Seeing Li Long closing the net in an orderly manner, Tao Daqiang was very envious.

He suddenly said:

"Brother Long, do you think I can get a casting net? I will practice casting the net this day, and I can also cast some fish."
< br>"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it." Li Long nodded, "It's not expensive to cast a net. Buy one... Wait until I sell the water rat's skin and buy one for you."

"No, no, no, I thought, if I can make money selling fish tomorrow, I can buy a cast net after selling it for a few days." Tao Daqiang was not greedy at all. He hurriedly explained, "I don't want it tomorrow either. If there are many fish, ten kilograms will do..."

Li Long glanced at him and shook his head with a smile:

"How can we get six or seven nets from eight nets tomorrow? Ten kilograms of fish. You set up a stall... I have to get twenty or thirty kilograms."

"No, I know what I am like," Tao Daqiang said seriously, "If there are too many fish, I can still take care of them. If you can't take care of it, you will lose too much, and that won't work."

Tao Daqiang said this, and Li Long stopped arguing. The net was already sorted. He took the net in both hands and rotated his waist, casting the net with skill. Got out.

This time, it felt very good. Li Long looked up and saw that the net spread out in the air one after another, eventually forming an imperfect circle, and fell into the water with a "swipe" sound.

"Brother Long, you cast the net well!"

Li Long smiled, knowing that there was a high probability that this was the best cast today, and the next one may not be the same.

After waiting for more than ten seconds and feeling that the net had completely sunk to the bottom, Li Long slowly closed the rope.

Feeling something moving in the net, it must be a fish. At this time, Li Long thought of the bloggers who saw in the short video in the last life that the net exploded at every turn. Today It seems that he may also explode.

As more and more parts of the net come out of the water, fish can be seen jumping around in the net, bumping the net from time to time. The main thing that catches the eye is crucian carp, both large and small. Occasionally, small grooves can be seen mixed in. The fish, the smaller channel fish, squeezed out directly from the mesh and escaped into the small sea.

With one last effort, Li Long lifted the entire net out of the water and threw it on the grass beside him.

“There are not many big fish, but there are a lot of fish!” Tao Daqiang followed and squatted down to start picking up fish. “This crucian carp is so beautiful—a big crucian carp, it must be at least half a kilogram!”

Li Long took a look and saw that there were nearly twenty crucian carp alone, large and small. While he was sorting the net, he said to Tao Daqiang:

"Throw the crucian carp back if it is too small. You can't eat it."

Tao Daqiang responded and picked up the fish and put them into the urea bag that was used to hold the net. Li Long glanced at it and saw that the largest one was a silver carp, weighing more than one kilogram and less than two kilograms.

When Li Long was about to cast the net again, Tao Daqiang had already picked up the fish and poured some water into it. Although the urea bag leaks, it leaks slowly. Most of the crucian carp in the bag can survive for a while with a little water.

The next net was indeed not as round as the last time. Although Li Long changed his position, this net only released more than one kilogram of crucian carp, most of which were small.

"Daqiang, come on." Li Long untied the net rope and handed it over, "Try another place."

Tao Daqiang took the net rope excitedly and followed Li Long's example Start organizing the network.

He was very powerful and could spread farther than Li Long, but the net only opened like a crescent in the air, and then he hit the water hard.

When the net came up, there were only two small crucian carp, and Tao Daqiang looked confused and disappointed.

Li Long smiled and stepped forward to correct his movements and showed him a net.

When Tao Daqiang came to net again, Li Long said:

"When the wheat field is cleared in two days and the wheat has not entered the field, you can practice on the field. The main thing is It’s better to use skillful strength on the waist and the speed of release in the hands, don’t throw it all away at once..."

The sun hadn't set yet, so the two men walked back carrying the tires and the fish bags.

Li Long glanced back. He could already see where the net was lowered. There were quite big ripples, which must have been fish.

Back home, Li Long began to divide the fish. Five or six kilograms of fish were thrown out of the net. Li Long asked Tao Daqiang to take two kilograms away. Tao Daqiang waved his hand hurriedly:

"My dad and I, seven or eight crucian carps are enough, and we can't finish any more." After saying that, he went to the yard to pull a thin reed, came to the basin and pierced seven or eight palm-sized crucian carp, picked it up and said to Li Long and left.

Li Juan and Li Qiang have come back, looking at the fish in the basin, they are very happy.

They haven't eaten fish for a long time, and now their eyes are full of excitement when they see so many fish.

Li Long was a little worried looking at such a basin of fish. He thought for a while, went to get an enamel basin, and poured some crucian carp, ditch fish and a carp into it.

"Juan, Qiangqiang, look at some fish, I'll come back and pinch them." Li Long said to Li Juan and walked out with the basin.

Li Qiang asked Li Juan in a low voice:

“Sister, who do you think my uncle will serve this fish to?”

"It must be Uncle Gu's house." Li Juan said, "Didn't our brother-in-law and Teacher Gu have a date? I heard from my mother that Teacher Gu also made shoes for my uncle."

"Then Gu The teacher is about to become our aunt?" Li Qiang looked like a gossip, "Should we change our words later?"

"Don't scream!" Li Juan has finished cooking the pig food. kitchen He brought scissors and a clean small basin, moved a small stool in front of the basin, and while preparing to pinch the fish, he threatened Li Qiang:

"Then we have to wait until my uncle marries her before we can call her. You call her now , She’s going to be embarrassed. She won’t marry her brother-in-law anymore, and I won’t beat you!”

Li Juan’s threat was still very effective, Li Qiang said immediately:

"If you don't call me, I won't call you. I'll call you Teacher Gu...Sister, you pick your cheeks and I'll pick my scales."

"Okay, don't touch the scissors."

"I know. .”

… …

Li Long carried the fish basin to Gu's house. Gu Boyuan had just returned from the fields. He put down his shovel and was changing shoes at the door. He heard the noise, turned around and saw Li Long, and said with a smile:

"Xiaolong, what is this?"

"I just cast a net in Xiaohaizi and caught some fish. I can't eat them all at home, so I brought some to you."

With Li Jianguo The habit that Liang Yuemei has developed is that although the things are specially delivered, she always talks about the extra things at home. If she can't eat them all or use them, she is afraid to refuse them.

"Then I'm in for a treat." Gu Boyuan didn't refuse and went to the kitchen to get a basin. After Li Long poured the fish into it, he said with a smile:

"It will be returned tomorrow. "Selling fish?" "Yeah." Li Long revealed his shortcomings, "I don't want to work in the fields. I can make a lot of money selling fish, and there are other things to do all year round. Idle.”

"That's okay. Now the policy should not change back to giving," Gu Boyuan grabbed a crucian carp and said with a smile, "Although it's not stable, depending on your brain, there should be no problem. You In the supply and marketing cooperative..."

"It's just a name, but it's very useful." Li Long said to Gu Boyuan. There is no concealment here, "I plan to ask them to help me get a forest ranger status, so that it will be easier to enter the mountains in the future. There are many good things in the mountains, and if I do it, I can earn as much as a year here..."

“But there are dangers in the mountains, so be careful.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Back home, Li Long saw Li Juan and Li Qiang peeling the fish while listening to the small speaker on the radio. They had almost finished processing the fish.

Li Long said with a smile:

"You guys are fast, let's stew the fish and eat it. Don't peel the remaining fish, Qiangqiang, give the rest to Uncle Luo, the horse number, sent it over."

"Okay, okay!" Li Qiang was very happy. He ran to the kitchen to get a basin, put the remaining fish on it, and carried it carefully. Got the horse number.

The fish should be eaten fresh, so Li Long went to the well to press a bucket of water, washed the fish after peeling it twice, soaked some dried chili peppers, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick some. Wild amaranth and green onions have just emerged.

While I was washing myself in the pressurized water well, I heard footsteps at the door of the courtyard.

Li Long turned around and saw Mrs. Lu coming over with a bucket.

"Xiaolong is back. As soon as you come back, the food at home will be improved." Sister-in-law Lu looked at the fish and said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, take some back to eat." Li Long pointed at the basin and said, "It has just been peeled."

"No, no, no." Sister-in-law Lu said, "Tietou's father is here When I came back from watering for two days, I picked up a pot under the gate of Toucan. I ate three times in a row and didn't want to eat it. I picked up two buckets of water and went back - don't tell me, the water in the well is worse than the water in the well. The water in that well is clean, clear and sweet!”

"That's it. It's sealed on all sides and there's no pollution. The wells my eldest brother and Brother Lu dug are deep and have a layer of sand and gravel, so the water quality is good. The water that people in the city drink is not this good."
< br>"Really? That's great!" Mrs. Lu smiled and went to press the water, while Li Long began to prepare the fish stew. Before stewing the fish, he went to make some noodles and planned to stick some dough pancakes on the fish pot.

Li Qiang ran back from outside the courtyard happily. He put the basin on the well killing platform and said loudly to Li Long:

"Uncle, Mr. Luo said that he wanted to eat fish. Yeah. He also said that the little wild boar and the deer are fine. You can come over and take a look when you have time. "

" Li Long nodded and continued to work.

Li Juan brought a bundle of corn poles, and when Li Long was ready, she started to light the fire. There is always a box of matches on the stove, but this time there is no need for them.

Li Qiang already had a tacit understanding here. He had already pulled out a handful of dry reed cherry seeds and handed them to Li Juan. Li Juan took it and stuffed it under the stove, then used a fire hook to lift up the corn pole, lowered her head and blew into the stove. The remaining fire left from cooking the pig food directly ignited the reeds and cherry blossoms, and a burst of fire He jumped out directly.

Li Juan has rich experience. At this time, she had leaned back to avoid the fire, and then slowly lowered the fire hook, letting the fire ignite the corn pole, and the fire started.

“It’s delicious!”

Heat the pan with oil, Li Long puts in the ingredients, pulls them around a few times, then puts in the fish, briefly fry both sides of the fish, and then pours boiling water directly into the kettle. Fish stew.

"Xiaolong, you did a good job with the fish!" Smelling the permeating fragrance, Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "Xiao Gu will be lucky in the future."

"I'll take flax right now "Tang Luan Stew." Li Long said modestly.

By the time he put the dead dough pancake on the pot, covered the pot and turned to low heat to simmer, Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei had also returned.

The family happily ate fish and nibbled on the fried pot stickers and pancakes. Li Qiang picked the most charred and yellow one. What Li Long didn't expect was that Li Qiang actually handed this to his sister Li Juan.

"You can eat, there is more." Li Juan didn't expect it, her face turned slightly red, she pushed over and said, "You can eat."

"Qiangqiang is sensible." Li Long praised, Li Qiang blushed and felt very proud.

"Eat the fish slowly, it tastes better when dipped in the soup." Liang Yuemei warned uneasily, "There are little thorns."

"I know." Li Juan and Li Qiang said together Qi nodded.

Li Long got up early the next morning, put on his clothes and went out, and saw Tao Daqiang already standing outside the courtyard.

“Why don’t you come in?” Li Long was a little surprised. How could this kid get up so early every day? There is no alarm clock in his house.

"I've just arrived here a while ago." Tao Daqiang smiled naively, "Brother Long, shall I get the net today?"

"Okay." Li Long didn't care. Fishing couldn't be done by one person. He was from the same village in his previous life. There are several fish sellers all year round, and everyone works together, taking care of each other if anything happens. If he could train Tao Daqiang, it would be good for the two of them to have a companion.

The other "fishermen" in the team will have to wait at least two or three years before they can come to this road.

Carrying tires and several urea bags, we came to Xiaohaizi.

Because the water surface is quite large and the moisture is heavy, it is obviously cooler than the actual place.

When he arrived at the water's edge, Tao Daqiang put the tire in the water, took the water paddle and sat down.

Li Long saw that he was wearing a pair of tattered old cloth shoes, so he did not remind him. There are reeds and rotten wood underwater, so you definitely can't go down there barefoot.

Tao Daqiang paddled awkwardly to the net head, put away the water-draining board, tied two of the three urea bags behind him, took one in front of him, bent down to untie the net head, and pulled it Started to put it away.

One fish is hanging on the net, some have stopped moving, and some are still jumping when they leave the water, unwilling to accept their next fate.

Li Long could see a fish jumping directly from the net from a distance, jumping into the water and swimming away. This should be hanging loosely, so it's easy to break free.

It’s no shame, because there are a lot of fish online, really a lot.

“Big fish!”

Tao Daqiang suddenly shouted excitedly, and then accelerated the speed of pulling the net.

“Be careful!”

Li Long hurriedly reminded, if Tao Daqiang can call a big fish, it must be at least three kilograms, right?

Then he saw Tao Daqiang pulling him to a stop two or three meters forward, stuffing the extra net at hand into the urea bag, his movements a little panicked.

How big a fish can make him so excited?

While Li Long was still confused, Tao Daqiang had already bent down and reached into the water. Was he planning to hold the fish?

"Pa!"

Li Long saw a white shadow coming out of the water with a large splash of water, and hit Tao Daqiang hard on the face and head. Tao Daqiang said "Ah" With a sound, he was suddenly hit into the water!

"Da Qiang!" Li Long shouted. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing!
