Chapter 104 Fishing
The honest man Jiang Feng launched a desperate counterattack against his three cousins after the meal.
He ran to the kitchen and shouted: "Grandpa, let me help!"
After being scolded by the old man, he still stayed there shamelessly, so he was sent to marinate the meat.
With Mr. Jiang as a natural barrier, the two cousins did not dare to go to Jiang Feng for tutoring, and began to defeat the other three cousins one by one. Soon the three of them retreated, surrendered, resigned to their fate, and went to help the two cousins. My sister helps me with my homework.
Everyone has experienced the feeling of making friends at a distance and attacking at close range.
It was not until late in the evening that the five brothers Jiang Jianguo returned home one after another with full loads of food. They were all cold and the taste was not as good as before.
Jiang Jiankang has a sweet tooth. After eating his own moment, he was still unsatisfied and asked the same death-defying words as Jiang Junqing: "Dad, will you make this tomorrow night?"
The old man ignored him and asked him to wash the pig intestines.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The ingredients for a New Year's Eve dinner are basically ready, except for the extra-large fat-headed fish in the pond in Jiang Jiankang and Jiang Jiandang's mouth.
Early the next morning, every household in the village went to the fish pond and released water to catch fish. One person from each family goes down with a net to catch fish.
This fish pond has not been taken care of for at least seven or eight years, and there are probably many big fish living in it.
On New Year's Eve, there is more than enough every year. If you can catch a big fish, it is also a good sign. Every household sends the strongest male in the family.
When we arrived at the Jiang family, it was a bit difficult to choose someone.
In terms of body shape, figure, appearance, and burliness, I'm afraid no one can compare with Jiang Jianguo. But Jiang Jiandang and Jiang Jiankang stayed by the fish pond for more than half a month in order to catch the fat-headed fish, but they couldn't catch it. At this time, they really wanted to find the fat-headed fish with their own hands.
However, these two people have been fishing for fish for half a month, which is enough to show how poor their fishing skills are.
In the end, the choice was Jiang Jianguo.
Fishing in the pond in the middle of winter is also laborious. Although the water in the pond is almost empty, it still feels bitingly cold when you step in with your rain boots on. Jiang Jianguo changed his clothes. Before going down, Jiang Jianguo warned him again and again.
"The big brother's fat-headed fish weighs at least 30 kilograms, maybe 40 kilograms, but it's so big! My third brother and I encountered it several times, but he avoided it every time. I felt like I was about to become a sperm. You must find it!" Jiang Jiandang said.
"If it weighs 40 kilograms, it is too big. If the meat is old, the fish head with chopped peppers will not taste good." Jiang Jianguo's concerns are also very realistic.
"That's an ordinary fat-headed fish, but this one is different." Jiang Jiankang analyzed, "I feel like that one almost recognizes me and my second brother. Maybe it's actually become sperm. It must taste good!"
Jiang Jianguo:? ? ?
Are his two younger brothers out of their minds fishing for fish?
With the entrustment and hope of his two younger brothers, Jiang Jianguo went down to the pond.
The fish pond that has not been cleaned in seven or eight years has very complicated fish species. The main reason is that everyone is very casual. You throw in some fry and I throw in some fry. It doesn't matter whether you can keep them alive or not.
Crucian carp and grass carp are naturally the most numerous, and there are also many silver carp, also known as fat-headed fish, and some small miscellaneous fish. Jiang Feng also saw people fishing out shrimps, yellow catfish, loaches and eels, and even soft-shell turtles and river crabs hidden in the holes. They were all found.
Jiang Jianguo has been looking for the fat-headed fish in the pond that his two brothers talked about. Logically speaking, the pond water has been almost drained, and such a big fish should be very conspicuous, but Jiang Jianguo searched around and couldn't find it. No one else found it either.
There are big fish, but they are grass carp and not as big as the two brothers said.
"Brother, why haven't you found it yet?" Jiang Jiandang was waiting a little impatiently on the shore.
"It shouldn't be. With such a big body, you should be able to see it at a glance!" Jiang Jiankang also wondered, "Did he really become a spirit and dig a hole and get in?"
Suddenly, the crowd watching on the shore burst out with a cry of surprise.
Master Xiao Wang, who was butchering the pig, caught a very large black fish, weighing seven or eight kilograms, but it was injured somehow. Otherwise, even if the pond was drained, he would have to fight hard to catch it.
"Good boy, what a big snakeheaded fish." Jiang Jiankang sighed. Wild snakeheaded fish want to grow to seven or eight kilograms, but they are not allowed to eat hundreds of kilograms of fish in the pond.
"Wait a minute, second brother's fat-headed fish won't be eaten by him, right?" Jiang Jiankang was shocked.
"No, no, that big guy should be able to beat this black fish." Jiang Jiandang comforted himself.
The two brothers stood on the shore and analyzed it. They only looked at the black fish that Master Xiao Wang caught and didn't pay much attention to Jiang Jianguo in the fish pond.
Suddenly the crowd burst into loud cheers.
"Awesome, Jianguo!"
"Good boy, you caught such a big fish!"
"My dear, how much does this fish weigh?"
"Only Jianguo Zhuangzhuang can catch such a big fish!"
……
Jiang Jiankang and Jiang Jiandang turned their heads quickly. Jiang Jianguo's whole body, from head to toe, including the hair on his face, was covered with mud from the bottom of the pond. He had a basket with fish in his left hand and a net bag with fish in his right hand. The basket on his back was not full, but he could clearly see inside. There was a tortoise trying to crawl out, and in its net bag was the fat-headed fish that the two brothers dreamed of.
The fish didn't move, and it looked like it was fainted.
The two brothers quickly took the things and pulled Jiang Jianguo up. He was suffering from having to step in the water for so long. With a fat-headed fish on his back, he estimated that it really weighed 40 kilograms.
"Second and third brothers, don't tell me. This fish may have become a spirit. It actually made a hole at the bottom of the pond to hide. If I hadn't seen the fish tail, I really wouldn't have been able to find it." Jiang Jianguo sighed, "It's so strong. If my eyesight and hands hadn't been so sharp that I almost found a stone and knocked it out, I would have been run away by it."
"Burn it when you get back. I'll send it to Third Uncle first." Jiang Jiankang happily hugged the fish and ran away.
Jiang Feng, who witnessed the whole process:...
As smart as you are, what will happen if you are almost a genius?
Will it become a dish on the Jiang family’s New Year’s Eve dinner?
"Jianguo, aren't you going to get it?" someone else asked.
"No more fishing, no more fishing." Jiang Jianguo raised his hand, "Go back and wash up, and I caught a big one. That's enough for just a tortoise!"
"Xiao Feng, please go back and help uncle put down the water first. It will take a while to wait for the hot water to come out today." Jiang Jianguo must have gone back to take a shower.
"Okay." Jiang Feng ran home.
*Are you devils?
I specially picked the questions without pictures and you actually solved them very happily.
I originally wanted to write about the Jiang family's New Year's Eve, but...hey, my hydrology skills are not good enough, and the water can't come out. T^T
