Chapter 204: This fishing artifact is awesome!
Du Chunfang was also worried that Li Long would be unhappy when Li Long came back because he had steamed steamed buns and cooked braised pork. Unexpectedly, Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei showed no surprised expressions when they came back.
She kind of understood that Li Long didn't work and cooked occasionally, which should be the norm at home.
Du Chunfang is a little confused.
This is different from my hometown.
Although eating braised pork at night is very greasy and puts a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines, to be honest, in this era where eating meat is happiness, even if the Li family often eats meat, this braised pork, which is very rotten, is also a rare delicacy.
Everyone had a great time eating, and no one thought about whether they would accumulate food or something.
The next day Li Long and Tao Daqiang got up early and came over to get the tires and prepare to take out the net. Li Qingxia walked out of the door wearing clothes and asked:
"Leave now?"
“Let’s go now.” Li Long said, “Dad, please wear more clothes. It’s cold here in the morning.”
"It's cooler than home." Li Qingxia sneezed, went back and changed into a thick coat obediently, then came out and followed Li Long to Xiaohaizi.
Du Chunfang couldn't sleep, so she got up. After tidying up, she went out, looked in the yard, went to the firewood pile, and slowly carried a bundle of corn stalks to the stove.
Although she doesn’t work much at home, she is really not used to eating here every day without working.
The daughters and sons in the family have also gotten married and separated. The old couple eat and live by themselves. Occasionally I go to the home of my second son or eldest daughter. When I went to my daughter's house, I was a guest. I stayed for a long time and then left. When I went to my son's house, my daughter-in-law was a bit powerful and she couldn't stay.
Staying here, the eldest son and daughter-in-law are very nice, and they don't look down on her, and the food is good, but she can't stay idle.
If you don't know what to do, you will always make a fire.
Li Juan and Li Qiang also got up early.
The child is strange in this way. He usually cannot wake up and has to wake up every day to go to school. It happened to be the weekend, so I got up early and felt very energetic.
"Mom, Mom! My grandma is holding firewood to light the fire!" Li Qiang was in the house and saw Du Chunfang coming to the stove through the window, and hurriedly went to tell Liang Yuemei.
After hearing this, Liang Yuemei hurriedly opened the door and went out. Seeing Du Chunfang preparing to boil water, she said:
"Mom, just rest, I'll do it!"
"It's okay, I'm just boiling water. I can't cook your food, but boiling water is okay." Du Chunfang said with a smile, "I'm busy with you. Yes, two children, and a lot of land, so busy enough..."
Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Liang Yuemei's nose felt sore, and she felt that her years of hard work were at least not in vain.
Rural women in this era have worked hard for many years and don’t ask for anything else. They really just need affirmation.
Arrived at Xiaohaizi, Li Long was still pushing the tire into the water. At this time, Tao Daqiang said:
"Brother Long, let me go down. Don't worry, even if I encounter a big fish this time, I won't be so anxious."
"Okay, you try." Li Long handed the tire to Tao Daqiang.
"Then I'll go take a look at my basin." Li Qingxia was a little anxious, "Don't worry about me..."
"Dad, the water is cold at this time, you wait until Daqiang closes the net When I came back, I took the basin easily."
"It's okay," Li Qingxia bent down and touched the water and said with a smile:
"The water is not very cold. I am very good at water. When I was young, I could step on water up to my waist. Now that I am old, I can step on water up to my chest. Just watch."
As he spoke, Li Qingxia took off his coat, put on his shoes and jumped into the water.
What surprised Li Long was that Li Qingxia floated up quickly after entering the water, without seeing any movement on his hands. The water went directly to his abdomen, and then turned around to go to the reeds that tied the basin. Went.
Absolutely awesome!
Li Long asked himself that he didn’t have this ability. It would be great if he could swim freestyle. After all, at least half of the people in the entire team can’t swim, and most of the remaining ones who can swim can only drink water and drink. Piaoyang (backstroke), he is pretty good at this.
I didn’t expect the old man to be so good at water!
Li Qingxia proudly carried the basin and swam back, but when he swam back, his body had obviously sunk, and only his head and shoulders were exposed.
Li Long immediately realized that there was a lot in this pot!
Afraid of affecting his father’s swimming, Li Long didn’t dare to ask. It wasn’t until Li Qingxia swam back to the shallow shore and stepped on solid ground that Li Long asked:
“Dad , are there many fish?”
"Too much, too much! It's all going to explode!"
When Li Qingxia showed it to Li Long with the basin, Li Long really understood what "explosion" meant!
The fish in the basin is so full that the cage cloth has been stretched out!
If the rope hadn’t tied the cage cloth tightly, it might have burst!
This is called "explosion"!
Compared with this, those who posted videos about "explosion protection" in the previous life were really weak!
Li Long hurriedly took the fish in the basin and felt his hand heavy. This basin must weigh at least ten kilograms!
Li Long reached out and took out a handful. It was slippery, and most of them were ditch fish!
It’s the alpine flower loach!
This is good stuff! Even if you sell it on the street, as long as there are people who know the goods, it can be sold very quickly - after all, there are no loaches breeding in northern Xinjiang. Some old gourmets, like the old horse that ran away, just want this one!
The three of them, Tao Daqiang carrying two bags of fish, Li Long carrying the tire, and Li Qingxia holding the large basin of fish, walked home quickly talking and laughing together.
“Hey, you caught so many fish again today?” Wang Caimi, who met Wang Caimi who was picking up feces on the road, looked at this posture and said with a smile, “The fish in Xiaohaizi is named Li, what do you really want to catch? How come..."
"No." Li Long knew that Wang Caimi was a little bit sour, but he wasn't. Maliciously, he said, "The fish are wild, and whoever catches them gets the blame. The problem is, if you don't catch them, then let them go, right? Just like this dung, I can't say that all the dung on the team are named Wang, right?" "
Li Long's response made Wang Caimi choke, and he went to pick up the dung with a dry smile.
Back at Li's house, Liang Yuemei was cooking on the stove, Du Chunfang was lighting the fire, the two were chatting, Li Jianguo was feeding the horses in the stable, and Li Juan and Li Qiang were playing in the yard.
Seeing the three people coming back, Li Juan quickly spread the plastic sheet on the wall, and then went to drag the big laundry basin over. Li Qiang also came over to help, and then looked curiously at the bulging baby Li Qingxia was holding. basin.
"Master, what is in here?"
"What? Fish!" Li Qingxia's voice was loud, proud, and proud, "Here, pour it into the basin and show it to you!"
As he spoke, he untied the rope. The rope was tied extremely tightly and took a while to untied. By this time, Tao Daqiang had poured the two bags of nets onto the plastic sheet. Li Long also put down the tires and came over to take a look. .
“Wow!”
The fish poured into the big pot like running water, filling one-third of the big pot, and many fish immediately began to jump.
Li Long took a look and found that there were mainly ditch fish, small crucian carp, and a few white stripes in the basin. "This fish is beautiful!" Li Jianguo came over to take a look, "There is such a big ditch fish - long chopsticks, which is rare!"
"Juan, Qiangqiang, you guys do it I'll go over at one o'clock. I've finished peeling it off. I'll give you some bread wrapped in oil today. Eat it fried!" Li Long said with a smile, "This small crucian carp and ditch fish are the most delicious when fried."
"It's not a waste of oil, fried fish..." Du Chunfang said habitually. She said something, but before she could finish her words, she already realized that this was her eldest son's home.
"What's the cost!" Li Long smiled, "I'm going to sell fish today, and I'll buy some oil when I come back! We have oil sunflowers growing in our fields. When we plant sunflower seeds in autumn, we won't be short of oil in the future!" ”
“Okay! "When he heard that he could eat fried fish, Li Qiang yelled, "I'm going to get the scissors now!"
"I'm going to get the chicken food bowl!" Li Juan was also happy, and she took the chicken food bowl. Put fish offal, chickens especially like to eat this stuff.
"Just spoil them two!" Liang Yuemei seemed to be complaining, but there was a smile on her face. Her brother-in-law doted on her children so much that she, the mother-in-law, had nothing to say.
Li Jianguo chuckled, then squatted down to choose fish with Tao Daqiang, who was silently choosing fish.
Tao Daqiang was envious, and he also hoped to treat his nephew like Li Long treated Li Juan and Li Qiang.
But can his brother-in-law treat him like Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei?
“This fish is still a bit small.” Li Qingxia was not very satisfied, “Can it be sold?”
“Dad, don’t worry, I know how to eat fish, but I like to eat this "It's just a fish." Li Long said with a smile while choosing the fish, "This is just one fish." It has a single thorn and does not have as many fine thorns as other fish. Although it is small, it is very delicious when stewed. It is also delicious when fried. It will definitely be sold! ”
If it weren't for the fact that it would be difficult to catch fish in ditches if they stick to the net, Li Long would also like to sell some fish like this.
There is a reason why loaches are nearly twice as expensive as ordinary fish even if they are farmed in later generations. Not only is it delicious and has fewer thorns, but it is also for nutritional reasons.
When the fish was selected, Li Long pushed out the bicycle. He thought for a while and said:
"Dad, your legs are long and it is inconvenient to ride a bicycle. How about we ride a carriage?" ”
“That’s not possible, right? Seeing that you are so late selling fish every day and your bicycle is fast, when will the carriage arrive?" Li Qingxia said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as you can lead me, I will just sit sideways."
That's all. You can sit sideways, and you still have to put the fish bag after all.
Neither of them had eaten, so Li Long and Li Qingxia rode bicycles quickly towards the county town.
On the way, Li Qingxia said:
"Xiaolong, you can teach me when you are free. I also have to learn how to ride a bicycle. This thing is so easy to use. It can run on two wheels. What a way to do it." Hurry!"
"Okay, we can practice when we get back." Li Long said while riding. The current traffic environment, apart from the poor road conditions, is really suitable for driving practice. There are few people, and there are almost no cars. There are no worries about accidents. People are also resistant to falling. It feels like nothing will happen if they fall. Unlike in later generations, bones can be broken or broken by a slight touch.
Li Long took the old man to the big yard, opened the door and took the basin and scale. The old man asked with a surprised look:
"Xiaolong, who owns this yard?"
"It belongs to an old man named Ma. I sold fish to him. He went to Shanghai to see his son. Now I am looking after this yard."
“This courtyard is really nice!” Li Qingxia sighed, “Landlords like us in Chengguan only live in courtyards like this. ..."
"In two days, I will bring you and my wife here to stay for a few days? After I left, I said that I can live here, and it doesn't matter what you want."
"That won't work," Li Qingxia immediately shook his head, "It's not suitable for us to live in other people's yards. We can't live in them."
Li Long didn't force himself, took the things and pushed the car towards the free market.
Li Qingxia followed Li Long and looked around curiously, and said as he walked:
"There are only a few people in this county in northern Xinjiang. If you look at your hometown, there are quite a few in this county. There are many people. There are few houses in this county, and there are also few old houses..."
Li Long took Li Qingxia to the market, and there were more people here.
Li Qingxia turned slowly, still quite new to the things here.
Li Long found a place on the edge, propped up his bicycle, put down the basin, and poured in the small crucian carps that were ditch fish first, and then poured the two bags of fish he brought in, divided into small and large fish.
As soon as three pots were placed, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
That is to say, Lao Ma doesn’t have many basins in the kitchen, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to place them.
"I'm selling fish! Fresh alpine loach, fresh wild big crucian carp, big carp and silver carp, all at a cheap price!"
Li Long looked at the cart all the way When I came here, there were four or five fish sellers, and there were more fish sellers. There were also many kinds of fish, including crucian carp, carp, silver carp, and there was a bit of competition.
Fortunately, those fish are not as beautiful as him, and he also has the channel fish, the flower loach, which attracts everyone's attention, so it is not false at all.
Li Long's shout not only attracted many people shopping, but also called Li Qingxia over.
He immediately came to Li Long and began to greet the guests.
It was agreed in advance that the small crucian carp was eighty cents per kilogram, the carp had five black stripes and one kilogram, the big silver carp was ninety cents, and the flower loach was also eighty cents, and all the money for the sale belonged to Li Qingxia.
Li Qingxia is also a little uncomfortable with the matter of kilograms, but Li Long has already agreed that he will take care of the weighing matter. Li Qingxia only needs to watch the fish in the basin to prevent others from causing trouble.
Li Qingxia squatted in front of the basin, listening to his son shouting loudly, greeting people, weighing people, collecting money, and giving some discounts by the way.
What surprised Li Qingxia even more was that many of the people buying fish here actually knew Li Long. Although they couldn't call Li Long by name, they kept saying "Young man, I just like your fish", " "Young man, you have the most authentic fish taste" and so on, which still made him understand that his youngest son was no longer the idle boy who didn't want to go to school.
Have grown up.
Li Qingxia is also quick with her hands. When she saw someone reaching into the fish basin, he immediately knocked that hand out - we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble! This was what Li Long told him on the way, and he believed it deeply.
Li Qingxia, who did small business when he was young, knows very well that as long as you show a little bit of weakness to some people, they will pounce on you, tear you apart, take away all your things, and leave before leaving. I'll step on you a few times!
So Li Qingxia is not worried at all if he hits these people's hands, no one will buy fish.
Li Long looked at his father's actions and smiled while weighing the fish and explaining loudly:
"Don't stretch your hands into the fish basin. This flower loach is what we often call the ditch." The fish is very delicate. I just caught it this morning and there are already a few of it. It’s dead. I’ll try to weigh it as fresh as possible for everyone, but if the fish dies, everyone will lose in the end, right?”
When Li Long said this, anyone who wants to buy ditch fish immediately He began to condemn those who stretched out their hands. Who doesn’t know that the fish you eat is fresh?
Listening to Li Long's words, Li Qingxia secretly sighed in her heart, her son can really stand alone!
