Chapter 7

Xiaojuan, go play with your brother Aqiang and sister Zhaodi. Brother needs to be quiet when fishing here. You just spoke loudly and the fish were scared away.

When the little guy heard that he had just gotten into trouble and scared the fish away, Nuonuo said, "Well, I'm going to mow the grass. Brother, you must catch more fish."

"Go on, don't play in the water, or my brother won't take you with me next time," Li Wen said, looking at the little guy who was reluctant to leave.

After the little guy left, Li Wen's mind completely relaxed. The little guy was full of energy and chattering non-stop.

I took out the bait and threw it into the reservoir. After a while, the frightened fish came back. The fish in the reservoir seemed to have not been arranged by the hook, and it didn't take long for the fish to take the bait.

Hey, he's not young yet! He's quite powerful.

Seeing that the fishing rod with the thickness of an egg was slightly bent, Li Wen guessed that the fish caught by this one must be quite big, and he did not dare to use too much force. After all, the fishing rod is made of wood with limited toughness and is easy to break. He slowly let out the fishing line and walked the fish for nearly ten minutes.

Time fish finally ran out of energy.

Li Wen slowly pulled out the fish, and a large herring nearly half a meter appeared. He took off the hook and lifted it with both hands. The good guy must have weighed nearly twenty kilograms, and his body was a bit heavy now when he lifted it.

Put the fish into the small fish pond in the warehouse. When he was fishing just now, he blocked a room at the front door and collected some river water into the room. It is half a meter deep. A room of more than 20 square meters can be used as a small fish pond.

, anyway, the warehouse is an independent space and there will be no leakage.

In less than an hour, more than a dozen large and small fish had been caught in the small fish pond in space. Li Wen was not going to release them into the fish pond in space. It was getting late and the sun had already come out.

There are many fish in the reservoir, which are relatively easy to catch. Li Yong took out the fishing line and made a string hook. Due to physical reasons, he only hung three fishhooks on the fishing line.

After casting the rod, he waited quietly. Within a few minutes, the fishing rod started to move. This was the fish testing the bait. When he saw the float sinking to the bottom, Li Wen quickly picked up the fishing rod. After a few minutes, two fish weighed more than two kilograms.

carp was pulled ashore.

Yes, yes, you can make a fortune by secretly fishing and selling fish in the future.

In fact, the fish in the river are not very easy to catch, but they are Li Wen's high-cost bait. Who would be willing to use cornmeal, corn and liquor as bait for fishing? It only weighs more than two kilograms for personal use.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the water temperature had already risen. Most of the fish had swam to deep water to escape the heat. Fishing was no longer very easy, so Li Wen simply stopped fishing and took a rest.

Fishing looks like sitting down, but in fact it is not an easy job. Using the fishing rod in your hand to compete with the big fish in the water is actually a test of one's patience and strength. Li Wen's arms are now sore.

Quietly taking out his mobile phone to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the reservoir, Li Wen lay on the grass on the shore and quietly rested his mind.

Brother, have you caught any big fish? We have finished mowing the pigweed. In the distance, the little girl Li Juan and a few children ran towards Li Wen, shouting.

"Run slowly, it's by the reservoir," Li Wen looked at the little guy running very fast on his short legs and scolded him softly.

Brother Awen, your backpack has been filled up for you. How about it? I can do my job well, said Li Qiang, the little guy!

Li Wen touched the little guy's head and said, "Okay, you did a good job, and there will be a reward. I'll give you two fish," as he said, he took out two large crucian carps tied with water plants from the water.

How about it? They are quite big. The two fish together weigh almost two kilograms. Go back and ask your aunt to make fish soup for you.

"Wow! Brother Wenzi is so awesome. These two fish are so big, much bigger than the little white stripes I caught." Brother Wenzi, you are so kind to me. I will mow the grass for you later.

Then Li Wen distributed a fish weighing more than half a catty to each of the other children, and asked the little ones to take them home quickly.

After the little guys had gone away, Li Yong took the basket and took out the remaining fish in the water.

Good guy, seven or eight carp and large crucian carp weigh more than 20 kilograms in total, and each one weighs more than a kilogram. It can be said to be a great harvest!

Little Li Juan was stunned. She opened her mouth and pointed at the fish, and was stunned for a moment!

Li Wen buried most of the fish in the pigweed, leaving only three crucian carps that weighed about four kilograms in total. He picked up the basket on his back and held the little guy's hand and walked back.

"Brother, why are you so awesome? Why didn't I notice it before?" The little guy tilted his head and looked at Li Wen and sighed.

Li Wen touched the little guy's head and said with a smile: "Isn't it nothing in the past? Now that I have a fishing line, brother will often fish for you, okay?"

"Okay, okay! Fish is delicious. Li Juan should eat meat more often," the little guy clapped his hands.

"Well, someone will ask on the way back later. Just say that you caught three fish, and the rest will be divided among Li Qiang and the others. Otherwise, if people know that we caught so many fish, they will come and snatch them away. Do you understand?"

"Yeah! Got it, brother! We only have three fish."

It was almost eleven o'clock when they returned to the village from the reservoir. The two of them didn't waste any more time and hurried home. Otherwise, it would be bad if the adults in the village saw them when they finished work at noon.

At this time, children in the village had already returned from cutting pigweed. There were a lot more playful and noisy children in the village. Occasionally they saw an old man enjoying the shade under a tree. Li and Wen also stayed away from each other. If they encountered each other, they would just deal with it.

.

"Po, we're back," Xiao Li Juan shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard gate!

Oh, it’s coming out, it’s coming, grandma Guo Xiuyun came out of the backyard.

I am cooking pig food. The pigs have been gaining weight recently and are eating a lot. Xiaoyong and the others have eaten away all the pig grass they shot.

"Ah! Where did the fish come from? It's not very small. It's a treat today," grandma Guo Xiuyun said in surprise when she saw the fish catch in Li Wen's hand.

"Po! This is what my brother and I went fishing in the reservoir today. We caught a lot, and we even gave a lot of it to A Qiang and the others," said little Li Juan proudly.

"You are not allowed to go into the water. What will you do if you fall into the water? Why are you disobedient, Awen?" the old lady said with a straight face.

"Po, I didn't go into the water. I caught this with a fishing line." Li Wen shook his head and took out the fishing line and fishhook in his pocket. This is the fishing gear given to me by my classmates when I was giving them homework at school.

"

"My classmate's father brought this back from Shanghai, which is a big city. This piece of fishing gear is worth about one yuan," Li Wen said with a smile, pretending to be proud.

"Hey, this is a rare item. It's not cheap. The fishing line is so tough, and the hook is so exquisite," the old lady said after taking the fishing gear and looking at it!

We still have pigweed in it. As she spoke, little Li Juan pulled Li Wen to put down the pigweed basket. Li Wen opened the pigweed that was still on top. Five huge fish were lying in the basket, each weighing three to four kilograms.

Heavy.

Good guys, you two little guys have entered the Dragon King's Palace. There are so many big fish, the old lady is shocked."

"Haha! Mom, we are really good, my brother and I caught this together," the little guy said excitedly.

Li Wen squinted and nodded with a smile, not wanting to expose the little guy's bragging.

"Po, let's boil these fish for lunch this afternoon, and then use the crucian carp to make fish soup, okay?" Li Wen raised the fish in his hand and said relaxedly.

"What is boiled fish? I can't cook it! How can you cook all these fish?" the old lady said in shock.

"Po, let me teach you. I've seen it in a bookstore. It's a delicacy eaten by Sichuan people. It's very delicious. And these fish are already dead. The weather is hot now, and fish tend to stink.

, Let’s cook everything this noon and have two meals.”

Okay, I want to see what's different about your little guy's menu today.

"Po, I'm going to take care of the fish, and you can steam some steamed buns, and we'll eat the fish and steamed buns."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you at noon today!"

Li Wen placed the pigweed in the backyard and took out a pair of scissors from the room to process the fish.

At this time, many people have a love-hate relationship with fish. The "love" is because it is meat, and the "hate" is that fish tastes very earthy when cooked. This is the reason why many people rarely eat fish and cannot handle it.

The bigger the fish, the stronger the earthy smell. Li Wen gently patted the fish body to pull out the fishy thread, and then hung up the black film. In less than half an hour, more than ten kilograms of fish meat lay neatly in the pottery pot, and the people squatting aside watched.

Little Li Juan swallowed hard.

Li Wen did not throw away the fish scales and some inedible things on the fish. He put them away and prepared to roast them, dry them and grind them into fish meal to feed the pigs. It is a very good protein and rich in nutrients.

Grandma, can you get four eggs? I want to marinate the fish. Li Wen looked at the busy grandma and hesitated.

We also have four old hens at home, and the old lady saves all the eggs she usually lays. When she waits for more, she takes them to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for salt, soy sauce, etc. to subsidize the household, or to visit relatives and friends. She rarely eats them by herself. In the past two days, she has eaten them by herself.

He was weak, so the old lady secretly gave him a boiled egg in the morning.

What's the point of eating? It's so expensive to pickle eggs early. The old lady said, without stopping, she took out four eggs from the room and handed them to Li Wen. She muttered that this meal at noon today was a waste of money.

.

Xiaojuan, go to Aunt Hua's house next door and borrow some ginger. Their family should have planted ginger on their private plot this year. Li Juan was playing in the yard when she heard the words and ran out of the yard.

After a while, the little guy ran home in a hurry, and I gave you some ginger.

"I just went to Aqiang's house. Aqiang and his mother-in-law were also killing fish. They praised me and your ability, and gave me a big piece of ginger," the little guy said proudly with his face flushed.

"Hehe, you little guy, go to the field and inform everyone that you will eat fish for lunch, and ask everyone to come back to eat it. Take it to the field to eat it and stir up hatred. You have to say it quietly!"

After hearing this, the little guy ran out of the yard in a hurry.

Grandma, let me tell you, you can make it, but the pot is too deep and Li Wen can't reach it with his arms while standing.

During the steelmaking process, all the iron pots at home were taken away. The current pots at home are aluminum pots that my second uncle got from the county hardware factory through connections earlier this year. The pot behind the stove is still a clay pot.

"Yeah! Come on, bring in more oil. We're going to eat it for a dozen people. Then put in some of the home chili sauce, green onions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then stir-fry this pot of green vegetables. Let's have some of my dad's.

wine, then add water, wait five minutes for the fish to boil," Li Wen said with a smile when he saw his grandma adding water.

"My dear! It's almost two taels of lard. Awen, this is too wasteful. Our family has been out of oil for a week. The old lady grinned in distress."

Haha, grandma, this is quite a small amount. Originally, it had to be poured with hot oil when it was cooked. We have saved many steps, but you can rest assured that the taste will not be worse than the ones in restaurants in the city. In fact, Li Wen just stole it
