Chapter 266 Flying Spearfish
Autumn has entered, and one thing that is better than summer is that although the weather is still relatively hot, at least there is wind.
When the autumn wind blows, the sky turns blue and is covered with fish-scale clouds.
The car was walking on the mountain road. Everyone opened the windows and enjoyed the cool mountain breeze. They looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the car window, talking and laughing, and felt relaxed and happy.
They had a lot of fun today. Although they had lunch at a restaurant in the village, it was just an ordinary meal.
After eating, he happily set up a stall to sell eggs.
Not to mention, although the price is not as good as in the county town, it is not slow at all in selling at the big market.
Nothing else. Zhao Dahai and Shan Mao helped Chen Ling sell eggs. They drove their cars to the archway in the countryside and set up stalls.
This guy drives a car and sells eggs at a stall.
In this day and age, in the countryside, how could simple people have ever seen this.
It immediately attracted many people to watch.
Zhao Dahai saw that there were many people coming, so he discussed with Chen Ling and cooked the eggs in various ways on the spot, including steaming the eggs, boiling the eggs, and boiling the eggs with boiling water, so that the market goers could taste them.
And every time I cracked the eggs, I handed the egg shells to them and let them see the difference from the shells of ordinary eggs.
Is it bigger and stronger?
After that, he said that the price of eggs in the county was much higher than this, but now they are sold cheaper.
After all this hard work, the effect turned out to be surprisingly good.
Anyone who didn’t have enough money would try to buy some.
More and more people came over later, and people with a little wealth also came to watch the fun, including those from the township government, those who opened factories in the township, and those who lived in small western-style houses.
But no matter what, no matter how rich they are in the countryside, they can't drive a car.
Now I see two car drivers selling eggs here, and the eggs are not bad. That guy buys many more eggs than ordinary people.
After all, such a thing has never happened in the countryside.
In the future, I can brag to others. We also ate eggs from the car.
It was so lively that all the eggs and duck eggs that had been accumulated for many days were wiped out.
Everyone took advantage of this energy and prepared to have a great time outside today.
We went back to the farm together, picked up fishing rods and other tools, packed the little wild boar cubs in sacks, and headed straight for the county town.
In addition to the Nansha River in the south of the county, there is also a river in the north of the city called the Yaba River.
It is said that the toads in this river cannot sing, hence its name.
Yuba River is outside the city, far away.
On the tributary of this river, there is also a large lake called Dumb Lake.
Although the name is indeed not very pleasant, the scenery is very beautiful and the water is very clear.
When the water is not big, you can swim in the river and play on the river beach. On weekdays, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and watch water birds. The environment is quite good and relatively quiet, much better than Nansha River.
After they arrived here, they got out of the car and walked around the Yaba Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
At the same time, Du Juan took out the camera to take pictures for everyone.
Special emphasis was placed on taking care of Chen Ling and Wang Susu, a family of three, by letting them take turns holding their son for the whole shoot.
Today, the little guy ran around with them and didn’t feel tired. He is still very energetic. When taking pictures, he looked around with his eyes open and made babbling sounds. My mouth is watering.
Seeing this, Wang Susu wiped her son's saliva with a handkerchief and said happily: "Ruirui is two months old. Let's take a few more photos when it's a hundred days."
"Yes, this It’s been two months, and the hundredth day is almost here.”
Chen Ling teased his son, and now he understood what his mother-in-law said. He really didn’t feel anything after having a son, and it was already two months in a daze. Big.
"Well, the little doll grows up very fast and looks different every day. It's a pity that we can't come to Ruirui for a hundred days. Otherwise, we can come and play again. We haven't been here to play in winter. "
"Hey, it's okay if you can't come. Let's wait until the baby turns one year old before coming. Shanmao and Dujuan, please hurry up. We'll spend time with Ruirui, the rich family, and we also want to drink your baby's full moon wine next year. .”
"Hahaha, brother Yue Min is so impatient. He didn't even drink the wedding wine, so he wanted to drink the full moon wine."
After taking pictures and joking, the gay men took out the fishing rods from the car and dug a few The earthworms each found a place by the lake to start fishing.
Although the scenery of Dumb Lake is very good, there are relatively few people here. That is to say, in the summer, some bears come to secretly play in the water and bathe.
After all, this place is far away from the county seat and away from the living area. The water flow is much clearer than the Nansha River in the city, and the water quality is also quite good.
Therefore, there are many fish and shrimps in the lake. As soon as I sat down and started fishing, fish kept biting the hook, and the size of the fish was not small.
"My dear, there are so many big fish here. They are all trying to bite me on the hook, and I can't even catch them."
Zhao Dahai exclaimed repeatedly.
Not only him, but also Liang Yuemin and Shan Mao, big fish came one after another.
Slightly smaller fish are not rare.
Chen Ling said: "There are not many people here. Do you see any farmland around here? It is very barren here. The grass on the road is very tall. There are many big fish in this kind of wild lake."
They were fishing, and the three of them, Wang Zhenzhen, were running back and forth, chasing the mountain raccoons hiding in the reeds, and throwing stones at the waterfowl by the water. They were having a great time.
The women cleared a clean space next to them and prepared to make a fire here for cooking later.
Gradually, the sun sets in the west and falls under the mountains in the west.
The sky was filled with red light, dyeing most of the lake surface like red silk.
Slowly, the afterglow of the setting sun became thicker and thicker, and the lake surface showed a beautiful scene of half fiery red and half green.
Just like what the poem said, half rustling and half red.
It’s so beautiful and intoxicating.
At this time, there was sudden unusual movement on the water.
First, a few small fish jumped out of the water with splashes, and then gradually more and more small fish jumped out of the water in groups of three or five and kept jumping on the water.
In the end, a water vortex larger than a grinding plate was formed. Within the scope of the water vortex, countless small fish jumped wildly on the water surface, as if their nest had exploded.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and stood up hurriedly, for fear that something strange would come out of the water.
"What's going on? There are water monsters in the lake here, right?"
Zhao Dahai nervously clenched the fishing rod, and the blush of the setting sun shone on his face. , making his face turn blue and red.
The lynx also frowned, "I can't tell if it's a water monster or not. I think the little fish is blowing up its nest, just like when there's an earthquake. This place is a bit scary. No wonder no one comes. ”
“Fugui, Fugui, what’s going on? Have you met anyone here?”
At this time, women and children also noticed the movement here, and everyone looked at Chen Ling with a little fear.
Chen Ling was still in a daze at this time.
He was not frightened, but kept staring at the water vortex.
The noise was a bit loud, and he wondered if it was another water monster.
Just stared blankly at the water vortex.
His eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people.
His performance is not obvious on weekdays, but at critical moments, when his body becomes tense, his physical qualities will greatly increase, and his vision, hearing, etc. will also be raised to a new level.
So after staring like this for a while, the things in front of him gradually became clearer, and he could see clearly what was under the eddy.
Immediately he took a deep breath and smiled at everyone: "Don't be afraid. I have seen this situation before. It's just a big fish driving away small fish, just like the jackals, tigers and leopards hunting in the mountains. The movement is a bit louder. "
"No, I see these small fish jumping on the water, they are so densely packed, they must be dozens of kilograms. What kind of fish is so powerful?"
Liang Yuemin still didn't believe it, and was afraid that Chen Ling would admit his mistake, so he said: "Why don't we leave and stop playing here with our children."
Wang Susu also said: "That's right, Aling , let’s listen to Brother Yuemin, let’s move to another place, this noise is a bit weird, don’t think it’s something that was washed away by the flood last year.”
“Hey, don’t worry, it’s not something weird, it’s just big. The fish are making noise underwater. However, there is not one big fish here, but a group of fish chasing them, so the noise is just a bit loud."
Chen Ling smiled at them, "Wait, I'll do it right now. I’ll catch two for you and take a look.”
“Huh?”
Seeing his vow, everyone looked at the wonderful scene on the water and wondered, "Could it be that this is really a big fish making trouble?" Wang Zhenzhen was very courageous. He looked at the layer of small fish still jumping on the water and couldn't wait to run over. Question: "Brother-in-law, you said there is a big fish under the water. What kind of big fish is it? It looks weird and fierce."
"Shhh."
Chen Ling raised a finger to her sister-in-law to signal her not to speak.
Then he took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, lifted up the steel fork, and walked slowly into the lake.
When the water in the lake got deeper and the eddy where the little fish was jumping was getting closer and closer, he stretched out his hand and the steel fork suddenly flew out. With a splash, it plunged into the water hard. The water surface seemed to be knocked open by a huge force, causing splashes of water.
At this time, Chen Ling took another step and pulled the tail of the steel fork, and a big bright white fish was taken out of the water with its body swinging wildly.
“I’ll be a good boy and stab the fish with a flying spear.”
Zhao Dahai’s eyes suddenly widened, “Fugui, you are so amazing, you still have this unique skill hidden away?”
At this time, Chen Ling had already taken off the fish and threw it on the shore. Without talking to anyone, he flicked his wrist again, and another steel fork flew out and pierced into the water.
Not surprisingly, a big white fish was caught again.
“There are really a bunch of big fish under the water.”
Liang Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone relaxed.
As long as it’s not something weird, otherwise it would be a bit scary in Yehu where no one comes.
“I know, this is a white fish, it can actually grow so big. This one weighs about ten pounds.”
The lynx looked blankly at the fish thrown by Chen Ling, "Zhen Zhen, Xiao Ming, don't touch it, you'll see if you bite it."
"Ah? What is a white fish? This fish is quite fierce, look. It’s quite scary.” The women are still a little confused.
"Well, this fish is quite vicious, but the meat is delicious."
The lynx explained to them what was going on with the white fish.
White fish is actually a type of "cocked mouth".
This fish is very ferocious and is a carnivorous fish.
However, unlike ferocious fish such as water tigers and fireheads, it mainly eats small fish.
And it is very fast in the water. If it grows to a certain level and catches small fish in groups, it will drive the small fish from the water to the surface, causing the situation just now.
This is because they are so fast and fierce underwater that small fish cannot escape. In panic, they can only jump to the surface.
However, this situation is not common.
Only in this inaccessible wild lake can you encounter it once or twice.
Moreover, there are different types of cocked beaks, including red, green and white. Among them, the white cocked beak is the easiest to catch big fish, and can grow up to thirty kilograms.
Today this is a medium size, only about seven or eight pounds, or about ten pounds.
The other two kinds are only three to five pounds at most, and they can't make such a fuss.
Chen Ling forked two, put away the steel fork, walked slowly back to the shore, and changed to a place with clean water to wash his feet.
"Hey, Fugui, go ahead and spear the fish, why don't you spear it?"
"What else are you spearing? There are two such big fish, isn't that enough?"
Chen Ling waved her hand. After getting into the water, he stood up and said: "This thing will die out of water. It is not easy to preserve. Any more is a waste."
"Our two big fish add up to almost twenty kilograms. I also brought two small wild boars, which are enough for a group of us to make at night.”
“Yes, too”
"We saw that this fish is quite big, and we also saw how powerful you are at spearing fish. We want to see it a few more times, hahaha."
Everyone smiled and nodded, and at this time the strange sight in the water disappeared. After we went, everyone gathered around the two big bright white fish and looked at them happily.
Zhao Dahai also stretched out his hand to make "one stroke, two strokes, three strokes" gestures on the fish.
“Good guy, this big one is as long as five or six pounds, including head and tail. It’s definitely more than ten pounds.”
Zhao Dahai has fat hands and presses ten pounds with one stroke. At about two or three centimeters, this big fish must be sixty or seventy centimeters long.
Bobcat also came over and measured the small one. It was also four or five inches long.
“What a great harvest. Even if these two big fish burst their bellies, we won’t be able to finish them all.”
The adults and children had a lot of fun around the two big fish, talking and laughing. , praising Chen Ling's ability to spear fish.
Soon, it got dark.
Chen Ling took them, took out knives and chopping boards and started killing fish and pigs. The women gathered firewood and made a fire, and everyone got busy together.
Since the fish were relatively large, two large bonfires were made.
After gutting the fish and removing the head and tail, Chen Ling took out the bamboo tube containing the seasoning and oil, brushed a layer of oil on the fish, then sprinkled a thick layer of seasoning on it, and finally Spread the whole fish on both sides into a fan shape and smoke it over the fire with wooden sticks.
The little wild boar does the same thing.
When the aroma of grilled fish and suckling pig comes out, Chen Ling brushes them with oil, sprinkles them with seasonings, and turns them over at the same time.
“Well, it’s so fragrant. Just smelling this fragrant smell makes me feel like I can eat two big steamed buns.”
The fish was roasted first, and when they smelled the aroma, everyone didn't care about burning their mouths, so they tore off two pieces of fish and distributed them to everyone to taste.
“It’s delicious. It’s so delicious. I still have to follow Fugui’s meal. Haha, if Jusheng doesn’t follow us, he will have no luck today.”
The men are happy. The women no longer care about their image, holding the fish in their hands and eating so much that their mouths are full of oil.
The adults and children divided one fish among themselves, but they didn’t eat the remaining one and took it home.
At this time, the roasted suckling pig was ready, and everyone turned their attention to the top of the fire.
The two roasted suckling pigs were now a shiny golden color, sizzling with oil, and the fragrance was constantly wafting in the night wind, which was extremely tempting.
Everyone was swallowing like crazy. Their stomachs, which were almost full after eating fish, suddenly felt hungry again.
The little baby also licked his lips like a greedy cat and shouted around Chen Ling, urging him to take it down.
Chen Ling smiled and chopped the two roast suckling pigs into several pieces with a knife. One piece was just right for each of the adults and children.
This is because the little wild boar is too small.
No matter what the size, everyone didn't care so much now. They lowered their heads and feasted for a while, finishing the crispy, tender and fragrant roasted suckling pork in big mouthfuls.
After the last bite of meat was eaten, everyone let out a sigh of satisfaction. They took out the grapes at noon, washed them, and ate and drank them with the low-alcohol fruit wine brought by the farm.
After eating and drinking, we played by the lake for a while, put out the fire, and then drove back to the county town.
Chen Ling and his family will not return to the village. They will stay in a small courtyard in the south of the city tonight.
But the things inside were not complete, and it was just enough for their family to live in. Zhao Dahai and the others had no choice but to go to Liang Yuemin's new home, where the things were more complete.
After everyone dispersed, Chen Ling and his wife made some tea and watched their son watch the stars in the courtyard.
"Zhenzhen, did you have fun today?"
Wang Susu asked while feeding her son.
"Hey, I'm happy, I'm so happy."
"Just be happy. School starts tomorrow. When you get to school, listen to the teacher and study hard. Do you understand?"
"I know, sister, I'm so sleepy."
Before Wang Susu finished speaking, Wang Zhenzhen yawned, rubbed his eyes, pulled on his shoes and walked upstairs step by step, "It's already past nine o'clock I have to go to bed quickly."
Wang Susu couldn't help but look at Chen Ling, "Look at what this girl is like now..."
