After dinner, Liu Chen went to find Liu Hu. Anyway, the two of them didn't go to work today, so they went to take a bath in the river and get some fish and shrimp by the way.

Thinking that Cao Cao was about to arrive, he was about to open the door and leave when he saw Liu Hu walking leisurely to Liu Chen's house with a piece of grass in his mouth.

"It's nice not to go to work today."

"It's cool, let's go swimming."

"Remember, no one can say anything. It will be troublesome if you are reported."

"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth."

Soon he came to the river, Liu Hu jumped down and started swimming.

Liu Chen also took off his clothes and jumped down.

Liu Chen watched the fish swimming around him. He tried to catch it several times, but his hand speed was too slow and the fish slipped from his hand.

"Huzi, look, what a big bastard."

"I'm here."

Liu Hu grabbed hard and a big tortoise was caught.

The four legs are kicking around, look, you see how beautiful the patterns on the tortoise are.

Liu Chen took a look and realized that it was true. The pattern on the tortoise's body looked like the word "longevity", which had a good meaning. He was afraid that the tortoise would run away, so he quickly put it in the bucket.

Wang Ruoji's third uncle gave him a deposit, so he must not forget about catching the wild bastard.

He thought that he could discuss with Captain Liu when he had time to harvest the fish in the river, but he didn't know if Captain Liu would agree. After all, it is not so open now, and the Huaihe River belongs to a collective, so he was afraid of being reported, which would be very troublesome.

.

Anyway, everyone was at work at this time, and there were fewer militia patrols recently. He ran to the shore, secretly took out the fishing rod and fishing net, let Liu Hu take a peek, and caught the tortoise himself.

He threw out the fishing rod, put on the bait, and mixed the fragrant bait with water. Liu Hu smelled the aroma and wondered what this was. Not to mention that the tortoise and the fish liked to eat it, even he wanted to take a bite.

"We can't catch too many, just a few. We'll catch them again in the evening."

"Okay, it's better to pay more attention anyway."

After a while, a tortoise was caught. Liu Chen smiled from ear to ear. This was so satisfying.

Liu Hu was nothing, just a bastard. He had no meat, was very fishy, ​​and was not as delicious as white flour steamed buns.

Not many people eat tortoise these days. On the one hand, there are few ingredients, and this thing is too fishy. Also, everyone is superstitious that tortoise is more ferocious, and this thing will eat anything. The girls who were thrown away in the village in those years are not safe.

He was also eaten by this thing.

Throw the rod again, catch a few more fish, and fish again in the evening.

"Liu Chen, look, is it big?"

Liu Hu was seen holding a sea bass in his arms. This guy was very capable and was really good at catching fish.

The season fish caught last time was sold for a lot of money, and this time I caught this big bass again.

The seabass meat was delicious and tender. When Liu Chen saw this fish, he first thought of steamed seabass or braised seabass. He couldn't help but smash his mouth and swallowed his saliva.

Putting the fish into the bucket, Liu Hu jumped into the river again and continued to catch fish.

"Huzi, catch it well. I'll pay you for all the fish you catch. I'll give you fifty cents for the bass just now."

Thinking of Liu Chen giving him money, it was not easy. There was no need to catch fish by himself. It was too easy to make money.

"I don't want your money, I want your lighter."

It's a good thing that this guy still has demands.

Who says Liu Hu is stupid? I don’t think he is stupid at all.

"No problem, if you catch another bass, I'll give you a lighter."

Anyway, I carry a lot of lighters, so it doesn't hurt to give him one.

Two people, one fishing for tortoise and the other catching fish, have a clear division of labor.

After a while, Liu Hu came up again holding the bass.

"You kid can do it. You can fish faster than me."

"Hey, don't worry about catching fish. If you weren't afraid of being reported, I could catch fish for you every day."

"Awesome, awesome, really awesome."

After being praised, Liu Hu became even more motivated. Haha, he got the lighter. Captain Liu didn't even have the lighter, so his face was big enough.

After fishing for a long time, Liu Chen caught another tortoise, but it was not as big as the one just now.

Looking at the time, it's almost time to get off work, but I can't fish any more. Being reported is no small matter.

Liu Chen put away his fishing rod and hid in the grass again.

Look at the trophies in the bucket, three tortoises and two bass.

Go back and make steamed seabass first, perfect.

"Liu Chen, do you want this? You don't want me to throw it away."

Liu Hu was seen holding a large three-cornered sail clam, holding it up for Liu Chen to see.

Seeing the big river mussel, Liu Chen smiled and said, "I want it, I want it all, but I can't throw it away."

Hearing that Liu Chen wanted it, Liu Hu carried it ashore.

"Liu Chen, this is not easy to overcome, and the meat cannot be chewed."

"If you can't bite it, it means you haven't cooked it properly."

Put it in the bucket quickly.

Liu Hu didn't want the mussel meat. It smelled fishy and was difficult to cook. It was a waste of firewood.

It's a lot of trouble to collect firewood, so he usually doesn't eat it.

Liu Hu knows nothing. This clam meat is rich in nutritional value.

The iron contained in mussel meat can effectively prevent anemia.

Promote the growth, development and metabolism of the human body. Mussel meat is also rich in phosphorus, which can promote the development of bones and teeth, promote the repair of body tissues and organs, and it can effectively regulate acid-base balance.

There are so many benefits, but you can't throw them away. I cooked them when I got home.

The two people put all the loot into the bucket and walked home.

Today's harvest is quite good. Anyway, I won't go digging out manure tonight, no matter how many work points I'm given. I'll catch a few tortoises tonight and I'll see if I can go back in the next few days and bring the things back.

The two of them quickly went home and put their things away.

Liu Chen took a smaller seabass, gutted it and had a steamed seabass tonight.

Liu Hu also brought some wild onions and garlic. These ingredients are very good. Liu Chen likes to eat fish. Fortunately, he brought a bottle of steamed fish with black beans when he came.

The bastard still doesn't want to eat it. It's better to take this thing back to Wang Ruoji's third uncle. If you take people's money, you have to do things for them.

I gave the lighter to Liu Hu and gave him half a pack of Dujiang cigarettes. The boy was as happy as if he had won a lottery.

Liu Hu brought river mussels, took a knife, and started killing.

"Liu Chen, come and see, what do you think this is?"

"Ah, this is a pearl, it's really a pearl."

Regarding pearls, Liu Chen still knows a little bit about it, because his ex-girlfriend’s mother particularly likes pearls, so Liu Chen also knows a little about Aiwujiwu.

"Aren't pearls round? What shape is this?"

Liu Chen remembered the video he posted some time ago, saying that the most expensive Danshui pearl in the world is a Danshui pearl called "Sleeping Lion", which has a history of 200 years. In 2018, it was sold for 2.4 million yuan. .

This pearl of mine does not look like a sleeping lion, but looks like a waking tiger. No, it looks a bit like a leopard. Liu Chen's imagination is not good, so he doesn't know what it looks like.

Anyway, forget it, keep it, let alone sell it for millions, just tens of thousands of dollars.

Liu Hu looked left and right, wondering if it looked like a pearl, so forget it, Liu Chen said it was fine.

Just when Liu Chen was happy, he saw people arriving one after another.

"Uncle, look at the hare, do you want it?"

Gou Sheng picked up the hare's ears and came stumbling over.

"I want one dollar for the hare."

"Okay, uncle, one dollar, haha."

Gou Shengzi has grown up to be ten years old. When has he ever seen such a big amount of money? One dollar can buy so many candies and peaches. If you want to catch a hare, you must catch it.

"Don't spend your money carelessly. Go home and give it to your mother."

One dollar is a lot of money. This kid has such a big sum of money and is afraid that he will spend it carelessly, so it is better to give him instructions.

"I know, I don't spend it randomly, I save it."

"Yes, I'll save it to get a wife when the time comes."

Gou Sheng said, feeling embarrassed.

Put the hare in the cage and prepare to cook.

"Liu Chen, do you accept this?"

Captain Liu's youngest son Liu Jiangang was seen holding a pheasant in his left hand and a Wong Tai Sin in his right hand.

Looking at the beautiful pheasants and weasels, Liu Chen was surprised at first. Didn't he go to work today? He could do this.

"Take it, take it all. One piece for pheasants, one piece for five weasels."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Liu Jiangang, who was smiling from ear to ear, kicked the money in his pocket, looked at the labor protection shoes on Liu Chen's feet, and asked: "Brother Chen, when will you get me a pair too?"

"Okay, then just put on some more clothes and I'll put them on for you."

"Five pheasants and three Wong Tai Sin will do?"

"OK."

Liu Jiangang was so happy that he could buy a pair of protective shoes with such a small amount of money. Wearing these shoes, he can go meet his partner when the time comes.

Liu Jiangang left, and the widow Li Qiaozhen came.
