Chapter 139 Fish Fun
After seeing off Liang Hongyu’s family, the young couple returned home and fed the little white cow some water, let it rest for a while, and then continued to grind flour.
Chen Ling sifted the noodles, Wang Susu swept the grinder, and ground two buckets of wheat. After mixing it evenly, he took it to the west room where the grain was stored, poured it into a flat bamboo basket and spread it out to dry. The flour has not been dried and must not be packed directly. The new flour will not taste good once it is covered.
But it’s getting dark soon, so if you can’t get any sunshine, leave it open for now. The yellow skins often run around at night, so there is no need to worry about mice in the house.
I couldn’t eat the fish at noon. After grinding the noodles, Chen Ling ran to the reservoir to catch a few fish. In the evening, he had steamed white rice with fish soup, and the next morning he ate steamed rice with new noodles. For steamed buns, although the flour ground by farmers is not as white as that grinded by machines, the noodles produced are very chewy.
It is full of "grain flavor" when you eat it. The more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes. The flavor lingers on your lips and teeth and has a long aftertaste. It is a kind of enjoyment.
Wang Zhenzhen ate half a piece more, and brought steamed buns with new noodles to school for lunch.
It can be seen that it is really delicious.
......
The sun is hanging high in the early autumn, the sky is clear and light blue, and the idle clouds are floating calmly and leisurely. In the late August of the lunar calendar, the charm of autumn It is also becoming more and more intense.
"Wow."
A bright red mullet fish suddenly jumped out of the water and bit into the small flying insect that was resting on the lotus pod.
However, just when it was about to bite, two sparrows were chattering and fighting together, flapping their wings from the branch to the ground. The small flying insect was frightened and flew away, and the fish suddenly The bite was empty, and he swung his tail unwillingly on the surface of the water, turned around and swam into the water, wagging his tail and bringing up a splash of water.
Chen Ling walked to the pond and pinched off some of the dense lotus leaves to prevent them from being too dense.
Due to the water, the two lotus roots grew extremely strong, and the lotus leaves were all over the pond, which was very annoying. It is indeed beautiful when it blooms, but over time it is not very friendly to the fish in the pond, because the water surface is crowded with lotus leaves, and larger fish can easily have their scales scratched by the thorns on the lotus stem.
Therefore, when Chen Ling has free time, he will pull down some lotus leaf connecting rods to leave some space in the water surface so that the fish can have space to move.
Today is August 20th.
The couple ground another thirty kilograms of flour in the morning, packed it up and dried it in the yard together with the piece they ground yesterday. After finishing their work, they took advantage of the lotus leaves to peel off the already grown pieces. The fluffy and mature lotus pods were picked.
Peel open a plump one and taste it with Wang Susu.
Lotus seeds are sweet, tender, and delicious.
"These lotus seeds are delicious. I'll cook some red dates and lotus seeds porridge tonight."
Wang Susu smiled sweetly and glanced at Chen Ling. She still remembered the first breakfast Chen Ling made for her. , it was lotus seed porridge. She remembered the taste of the porridge particularly deeply.
Perhaps I will never forget it in this life.
Because to Susu, it is not just a bowl of porridge, it also represents something more important.
“Okay, you will cook dinner.”
"When Zhenzhen comes to the house, I am always the brother-in-law cooking, why should I let my sister show off her skills?"
"Are you right?"
Chen Ling mixes the wheat with water Fu, who was mixing fish food, replied without raising his head when he heard this.
As a result, I didn’t hear Wang Susu speak for a long time. I looked up and saw my daughter-in-law slightly puffing out her white cheeks and pouting her bright red mouth. She looked at him with a hint of resentment: "You still want to cook? I want to eat scrambled eggs and peanuts..."
Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this.
Then he immediately realized what was going on.
He smiled knowingly, stood up, reached out and touched his wife's little nose.
Slowly he came closer, took a gentle bite on her delicate and smooth face, and said softly.
The voice was too low and I don’t know what he said.
In an instant, Wang Susu blushed to the roots of her ears. She was so shy that she glanced at Chen Ling with her big, bright and moist eyes, turned around and hurried back to the house.
...
This batch of wheat was grown by Chen Ling in Dongtian.
After grinding the flour, the fresh wheat bran tastes really good. When mixed with fish food, the fish in the pond are rushing to eat it.
The more these fish grow, the more ferocious they become, and they are extremely strong. They swim very fast and grab food, causing water to splash on the water.
Some even jumped out of the water to grab the fish food before he dropped it.
But most of them use too much force. After jumping out of the pool, they often fall to the edge of the pool, slapping their tails on the ground, trying to jump back into the pool again.
Unfortunately, after the new courtyard was completed, various stones were used to raise the surrounding area of the pool. They were just covered in mud and could not be returned to the pool.
Chen Ling shook his head when he saw this, thinking that the pond was still too small and the fish was a bit thin.
No roe has been produced.
Otherwise, there is no need to put back the two mullet fish that escaped, just in time for another meal of fish.
Think so.
He was indeed interested.
Bent down, picked up the fish, put it in the water, washed his hands hastily, and then walked out the door with the fishing rod and the fish basket.
He was going to go fishing for a while.
This fishing rod cost him forty yuan, and he has only used it a few times after buying it.
If you have nothing to do, it would be nice to go to the reservoir to catch a few fish.
He was fishing not for food, but mainly because he had not fished for a long time and wanted to enjoy fishing.
On the other hand, he wanted to taste the taste of red eel in Dongtian, so he made a plan to grab it and cook two dishes when his wife was not paying attention to satisfy their craving. .
Although this thing is a rare thing, after it is sold out once, it is difficult to sell it a second time. It is better to eat it and get it.
In fact, I have been eating fish from Dongtian.
Especially when there are no outsiders and only the young couple are at home, Chen Ling will get two fish out under the guise of fishing outside when he has free time. The big one and the small one are all gone.
Although you enjoy the delicious food and nourish your body, it loses the fun of fishing in person.
After finishing grinding the noodles, there was nothing to do at home, so I naturally started thinking about it.
Go fishing during the day and go on patrol with a shotgun at night.
Anyway, just for fun.
It was a coincidence that I went out today.
Wang Jusheng worked the night shift last weekend, and it happened to be two days off, so he and Zhang Qiaoling took advantage of this time to go to Baomi Field to work for a long time.
Now that he had just returned from the fields, Chen Ling walked halfway and met up with his family.
Wang Jusheng didn't know what to do when he saw his posture. He didn't even care about his mother-in-law and baby, so he hurried home, threw down his hoe, picked up a bamboo fishing rod and followed him.
Take advantage of the sunny day in early autumn and stand on the reservoir dam. The breeze is blowing. Looking around, the water is rippling under the sun, and your mind is broadened. After taking two simple deep breaths, you feel extremely refreshed. Feeling refreshed and feeling alive all over.
We rely on mountains to eat mountains, and we rely on water to eat water.
Chenwangzhuang is close to a large reservoir. The people in the village are very good at catching fish. Whether they like to eat fish or not is secondary, let’s not go into details.
Who has never been in the water when he was a baby? Never caught a fish? Especially boys, almost none.
Just like Wang Jusheng, the fishing rod in his hand can be considered an antique...
This was what he learned from his cousin when he was idle and bored at home before he was married. , in order to find good materials, I climbed several mountains before I found a suitable piece of hard bamboo.
Even though this fishing rod doesn’t look good, according to him, it’s no problem at all to catch a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
It’s just that after I got married, I no longer had the heart to have fun, and I haven’t done anything for a long time.
This year I also met a good brother, Chen Ling. I saw him having fun in different ways every day, which aroused my interest.
In front of Chen Ling, he talked quite a lot, talking about heaven and earth, talking about East and West, not tabooing meat and vegetables, and never closed his mouth.
It’s just that catching fish is not going well.
Chen Lingdu caught several small fish in a row. Although he released them all, at least he caught them. He didn't see a single fish tail.
It’s really frustrating.
"Damn it, how come all these fish got on your hook? I have to stay away from you."
Wang Jusheng shouted angrily, five or six meters away from Chen Ling Far.
“Haha, I’m lucky today.”
Chen Ling smiled, moved a few stones, and placed them under his buttocks.
He plans to fight a protracted war in this place and will not move easily.
Who knew that with just this little effort, the fishing line would just flicker.
What's going on?
He had quick eyes and quick hands and hurriedly lifted the pole.
There was a splash, and a large golden crucian carp emerged from the water.
What a face!
Chen Ling didn’t expect that a big seller would take the bait so quickly.
It’s true that luck can’t be stopped when it comes.
Wang Jusheng’s eyes turned green when he saw him, and he didn’t care to gossip with him anymore. He just stared at the position of the hook with bulging eyes, for fear of scaring away the fish.
On Chen Ling's side, he just put the crucian carp into the bamboo basket and threw the rod, less than two minutes later.
Another big crucian carp took the bait...
Is this a fish nest? !
Even with Chen Ling's increasingly Buddhist temperament, he couldn't help but get excited.
Everyone who fishes frequently knows that the natural water environment is complex and changeable, and fish in the water will also swim in groups according to terrain, flowing water and other conditions.
So...
Whether you can find fish nests and fish passages has a great impact on fishing.
And the locations where fish gather vary depending on the season.
Sometimes even if the difference is only two or three meters, using the same bait, some people can catch a small fry, while others cannot catch a single fry.
Just like he and Wang Jusheng are the same now.
Very metaphysical.
……
Since he was enjoying fishing, Chen Ling naturally did not cheat.
Both of them dug earthworms together as bait. As a result, Chen Ling was really lucky and found the fish nest as soon as he came up.
As expected, not long after the third rod was thrown out, another crucian carp took the bait.
Then the fourth, fifth... there were more than ten pieces on the pole, weighing three to four kilograms.
For him, fishing has never been so smooth.
The fish seemed to be in a hurry, biting as soon as the hook was released, and they were sent straight forward one after another. It was incredible.
Wang Jusheng was almost depressed.
After changing places two or three times, it still didn't work. In the end, I just gave up. I took all my own earthworms and stayed by Chen Ling's side to watch him fish.
Damn it, I’m not going to fish anymore.
After a while, someone came over from the dam...
"Fugui, Brother Jusheng, why did you two come to the reservoir to fish at noon?"
But It was Chen Ze who led his nephew over.
The little kid had a sweet mouth, so I bought him candy for free. When he saw Chen Ling, he called his uncle and came close to look at the fish in the fish basket.
Chen Ze was afraid that he was too close to the water, so he followed behind him.
But when I got closer, I was attracted by the fish in the fish basket.
"Hey, Fugui has caught a lot, it must be four or five pounds."
"Brother Jusheng, you also brought a pole over, why don't you catch fish? Stand. Where are the sweet potatoes sold here?”
When Wang Jusheng said this, he immediately scolded and scolded: "You are a bitch, how can you be more rude than a mother-in-law? I'm just willing to stand and not take the bait. It's none of your business."
It’s true that there is no pot that cannot be opened.
"Hey, if I look at it, you definitely can't catch any fish..."
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, deliberately teasing him.
"What's wrong with not being able to catch fish? Why don't you come here? I still don't believe it. I can't catch fish next to Fugui, but you can catch it instead."
Wang Jusheng pushed the fishing rod in front of him, feeling very angry.
"Come as soon as you come."
Chen Ze was also unambiguous and asked him to help look after his little nephew before hanging up the earthworms and throwing the pole.
Chen Ling watched with joy.
He had a great time fishing today.
He stretched out a hand and pinched the little kid's face: "Xiao Mao has stayed at your grandpa's house long enough this time. Why don't you leave? We have food and fun here. In two days, uncle We can also take you to shoot a gun."
"It's impossible not to leave, but we have to wait until the Chinese New Year before going back. My brother-in-law is coming tomorrow too..."
Chen Ze turned around. Face replied.
"Hey, the whole family is here. It's great and lively."
"I asked why you are all here with Brother Da Jiang today. It turns out that you are welcoming your son-in-law."< br>
Chen Ling didn't think too deeply about it. Chen Dajiang's family was guarding the reservoir. When he and Wang Jusheng came over, there were quite a lot of people in the yard.
“What’s the matter? Come and hide from family planning.”
Chen Ze twitched his lips: “In two years, if my wife gives birth to a second child, she will probably have to go to my sister’s place. There's nothing you can do about it if you live for a while. If you don't find a place to hide, you have to go home every day. It's very annoying."
I think this topic is a bit heavy. With a smile on his face, he said: "It just so happens that Anda's birthday is tomorrow, so I'll come over to my brother's house to clean up things today. My brother-in-law is already an old son-in-law, so why should we welcome him?"
"No, old son-in-law." It’s not worth anything anymore. You have to behave well when you bring your daughter-in-law back to your parents’ home this year. If you get beaten there, we can’t help you.”
Wang Jusheng immediately joked.
“Nonsense, I’m so honest now.”
Chen Ling shook his head: “Besides, if you really want to be unreasonable and hit me hard, I won’t be afraid of three or five.”
“Oh, if you really dare to fight with my uncle, I will write the character “王” upside down.” File a complaint with Susu.”
When the two heard this, they turned to look at Chen Ling with their eyes, which was very provocative.
"Haha, don't, don't, don't, I just said this, why do you two take it seriously?"
"No way, Fugui, now you are getting more and more afraid of your wife."< br>
"I won't tell you, you don't understand..."
"I don't understand anything, you are just afraid of your wife."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of my wife, do you think you're not afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. I beat her last night until she screamed."
" Damn it, are you sure you call it a beating? "
Man, how can you not brag about it? Say a few naughty words?
While joking, Chen Ling shook the fishing rod lightly in his hand, and immediately realized that something was wrong in his hand. It felt as if it was hanging on a stone and was very heavy.
However, if you see the fishing line shaking and cutting through the water, it is definitely not a stone.
It’s a big fish!
Crash... The water surface shook, making ripples, and a reddish and shiny fish tail was revealed.
It’s a carp.
Definitely not small.
Chen Ling quickly stood up and fished.
Wang Jusheng and Chen Ze immediately looked at each other.
Hurrying away the bamboo baskets and stones, let Chen Ling fish.
After a while, the carp came out of the water and splashed with waves.
Chen Ling mentioned it and estimated it to be about six or seven pounds.
There have been fewer big fish in the reservoir in the past two years, and this one is definitely a big one.
With this big carp, we can call it a day.
Even the kid Xiao Mao looked on with envy. He pinched two earthworms and handed them to Chen Ze. He raised his head and said, "Uncle fishes too."
"Okay, uncle also does it. I’ll catch a big fish for you.”
Chen Ze took the earthworm, rolled up his sleeves, and threw it again.
However...
A short while passed.
Chen Ze wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, and couldn't help but mutter: "Damn it, it's so evil, you can't even catch a small one."
Wang Jusheng immediately became excited when he saw this.
"What did I say? What did I say?"
"You were laughing at me just now, so you can't do it now."
"Brother Jusheng, please keep your voice down, I don't believe you yet."
Chen Ze frowned and switched to Chen Ling's side.
Another ten minutes passed...
Chen Ze pulled up the fishing rod and handed it to Wang Jusheng: "You are an old bitch, I won't fish anymore."
< br>
Wang Jusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed proudly.
One person’s food is food, but two people’s food is not food.
It's Fugui, the boy, who has good luck today.
"Let's go home. Let's have lunch and take a nap. We have to do night patrol tonight."
Chen Ze picked up his little nephew, got up and walked home: " Fugui, I’ll call you again at night.”
"Okay."
Chen Ling also put away his fishing rod and prepared to go home with Wang Jusheng.
......
"Don't leave yet, Fugui, I have to touch some fungus when I go back, otherwise your sister-in-law will talk about it."
Wang Jusheng handed him the bamboo fishing rod. , took his own bamboo basket and hurriedly walked aside.
"Agaric?"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment and then walked over.
“Yes, they grow on wolfberry trees.”
On the west side of the reservoir there are several wolfberry trees as thick as a basin. Their main trunks have long been drilled through by beetles, and they are basically semi-rotted. . Such trees are of little use except for burning fires, but another characteristic is that they easily produce fungus. It is close to the reservoir and has enough water vapor. If you don't look at it for a few days, large amounts of fungus will grow.
Chen Ling followed Wang Jusheng to some medlar peach trees, and sure enough he saw that the fallen tree trunks were densely covered with fungus. Wang Jusheng didn't catch any fish, and he didn't want Chen Ling's, so he just pretended A bamboo basket full of fungus.
This way, we won’t go back empty-handed, and we will have an explanation with my wife.
Although Zhang Qiaoling would not blame him for having fun with Chen Ling, but the mother-in-law is annoying enough to nag her.
“Oh, you told me earlier, can’t you just take two from my basket?”
“No, I didn’t catch it myself, and it won’t taste good.”
< br>“…”
Chen Ling was speechless. Where did he learn this bad habit?
