Chapter 13: Fish Hunting
Just when Zhang Zichen was worried, Wang Bao came back like a gust of wind, carrying an empty bucket and a sieve with a sieve surface. Looking at his appearance, he didn't even change his shorts that were already wet, and just put down the fish in the bucket and came back.
Looking at Wang Bao running back and forth, Zhang Zichen inexplicably felt a burst of warmth, very dramatic!
This small ditch is about a meter wide and four or five meters long. One end of the ditch is connected to the pond and the other end is extended into the ground. When Wang Bao fell into it just now, he probably waded to the bottom, and the ditch could be more than half a meter deep.
When Wang Bao came back, he first put the empty bucket and sieve on the shore, then picked up a shovel and began to dig earth and build a dam at the end of the ditch and pond. He was to build a dam and separate the ditch from the pond, and then he would use buckets to scoop all the water from the small ditch into the pond.
This is called in their hometown (on Earth) - Fish!
When Wang Bao was a child, because his family was poor, he often couldn't eat meat, and it was difficult to catch fish when he went down to the river, so they used this method of damming and panning for water to catch fish.
Of course, this method is only suitable for very small ponds, or ditches or something, if it is too large, it will not be able to dry the water manually, and can only use a pump.
Zhang Zichen felt very strange when he saw Wang Bao's behavior, so he asked him, "What are you doing here? Why do you want to block the water?"
"I can't explain it clearly to you, just look at it, and you'll understand later. ”
Wang Bao spoke, but the work in his hands did not stop, and it did not take long to build a small embankment to completely separate the pond from the small ditch.
He stuck his shovel in the soil next to him, then went ashore to bring a bucket of water, and began to dig bucket by bucket from the small ditch into the pond.
Wang Bao hadn't fished for many years, so he was very energetic now, and suddenly found the joy of fishing when he was a child.
When I was a child, my family was poor, and I could eat a bite of meat all year round, that is, during the New Year's Festival. Children are greedy, but the family doesn't have much money to buy meat to eat, so they can only find their own way. Fishing in the river, digging birds in the trees, and even digging voles in the ground are all sources of meat for the friends.
Every autumn, which is also the fattest time for fish and shrimp, the friends will start to sweep in groups in the small river ditch in the village. Basically, every small ditch will not be let go, a small ditch two or three meters long, after the water is drained, you can basically get half a bucket of small fish and shrimp.
When the fish and shrimp are taken home and cleaned up, they are fried in sauce and served with steamed buns, which can make people forget what their last name is.
It smells so good!
Thinking about it, Wang Bao involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which made him more motivated.
Zhang Zichen looked at Wang Bao as if he was playing with his life, scooping buckets of water into the pond, and it was visible to the naked eye that the water in the small ditch was decreasing. Although I don't know much about what he's doing, seeing that he is doing a good job, he still shouts and cheers on the shore with a lot of face.
"Come on, come on, ......"
"Wang Bao, you are the best, you are the most capable!"
When Wang Bao heard the word 'capable', his feet slipped and he almost fell again. He secretly glanced at Zhang Zichen and found that she was raising her fists without much sincerity, shouting cheers one after another, and didn't notice his small movements at all.
It took about an hour, and the small ditch was dried up by Wang Bao's crazy mode.
After Wang Bao had dried the water, he came up and rested for a while, then he picked up the sieve and went down again into the small ditch full of silt.
After Wang Baoxie's time for a while, some water seeped out of the small ditch, and it was obvious that there were fish and shrimp moving in the mud that seeped water.
Wang Bao took the sieve and slowly slid forward in the silt, and after a while, he saw that the sieve was full of small fish and shrimp. Some fish and shrimp will pop out of the sieve from time to time and escape back into the mud.
Feeling that it was almost over, Wang Bao picked up the sieve, and then washed the silt in the sieve in the pond. This is a technical job, not only to wash the silt in the sieve, but also to ensure that the fish and shrimp inside do not escape. But for a veteran like Wang Bao, these are trivial meanings, so Zhang Zichen saw that Wang Bao easily got the small fish and shrimp in a half-sieve.
"Ah, so there are so many small fish and shrimp in here, how do you know?" Zhang Zichen looked at the fish and shrimp in the bucket and asked Wang Bao in surprise.
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" Wang Bao wanted to pretend to be a master, but he was covered in mud, and he didn't look like a master at all, but like a standard "mud leg".
"Don't talk about pulling down!
After Zhang Zichen finished speaking, he ignored Wang Bao, and began to squat happily next to the bucket alone, teasing the fish and shrimp inside with his hands.
Wang Bao had already put the fish and shrimp in the bucket before getting half a bucket of water to ensure that the fish and shrimp were alive in it. These small fish and shrimp can't be eaten today, so after they go back, they will be raised in clean water overnight to let them vomit the dirty things in their stomachs. After all, these fish and shrimp are too small to clean up one by one, and this is the only way to clean up. Another trick is to put a little salt in the water, so that the fish and shrimp can better spit out the dirt in their stomachs.
In this way, it took Wang Bao more than half an hour to go through the entire ditch through the sieve. When he was done, he dug up the embankment and refilled the ditch. Then he washed the mud from his legs, feet, and arms, and washed the sieve, and then went ashore to see the fruits of his labor.
Looking at most of the fish and shrimp in the bucket, there are small white stripes, wheat ears, eye lamps, huangguo roads, small gayu and loaches, and some small river shrimp. Wang Bao is really happy, these are all memories from childhood, how many years have I not seen them, and I have eaten these.
He picked up the bucket, put the shovel and hoe on his shoulder, and beckoned Zhang Zichen to go home. And Zhang Zichen followed behind him, holding fishing gear, a sieve, and from time to time probing to look at the fish and shrimp in the bucket.
At sunset, two people walked in the field, and it was really a bit of a male farmer and a female weaver, and the husband and wife both returned home. Of course, their photographers will not miss this warm picture, and they will not miss a single frame into the lens.
Laughing all the way home, the two put their things back in the storage room, and went in with a bucket of water, ready to put the fish in the kitchen.
When they entered the door, they saw that the two teachers, Huang He, were already standing on the carpet in the living room. It seems that their work of catching chickens is not very easy!
Wang Bao carried the bucket to the kitchen, then found two large basins, divided the fish and shrimp in the buckets into two parts, poured them into the large basins, and connected the basins with clean water and put salt on them.
When he was done, he took a shower, changed his clothes and went to the living room.
The two teachers, Huang Miao and He Ling, had already gotten up, drinking tea beautifully, listening to Zhang Zichen boasting about what she had done today.
"Noble, come and rest. He Ling beckoned Wang Bao to sit down, and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"I heard Zi Chen say, you guys are very hard today, are you tired?" Huang Miao asked with a smile after seeing that he was ready.
"It's okay, fishing is nothing, it's just a little tiring to fish hunting. It's been a long time since I've done such heavy physical work, and my body is a little unbearable. "Wang Baoke won't stand up, if he's tired, he's tired, he's not an idol star, and he has no idol baggage at all.
"Although the young man is not afraid of being tired, he still has to pay attention, after all, we don't really work hard, don't work too hard, I really hurt myself. He Ling said thoughtfully.
He Ling is such a person, he is gentle with everyone, making people feel cared for at the same time, and there will be no burden, much like the feeling of the big brother next door.
"Well, thank you, Mr. He, I'll pay attention. Wang Bao really felt He Ling's concern, so he also expressed his attitude sincerely.
Huang Miao took a sip of tea, then said with a smile: "Xiaobao, how did I hear that you didn't farm today? Didn't you give you two tasks? Why don't you just fish and stop planting?"
"Teacher Huang, if you don't mention this, I'll say it. We can't plant that land! I roughly estimated that the land to be planted would definitely be more than two acres, and it would not be possible for the two of us to plant it at all, right? And we had to fish, even if we worked until midnight, it would be impossible to finish it. Wang Bao felt that he was also very aggrieved, obviously he was cheated by these two old foxes.
"Hahaha...... Are you stupid?"
After Huang Miao heard what Wang Bao said, she couldn't help laughing, and then scolded Wang Bao with a smile.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Bao was a little confused, and said that he asked blankly.
"That big piece of land is the land that all the guests will plant after we come to the whole show this season. You've planted it all by yourself, how can you plant it when the guests come?" Huang Miao looked at Wang Bao funny, he felt that this kid was too sincere.
At this time, He Ling was also on the side, while Zhang Zichen and Wang Bao both had big mouths and demented expressions.
"Ahh
"I thought that the program team could be so ruthless, this is to let me live here? It turns out that it's not all land that I want to plant!" Zhang Zichen also reacted at this time, lightly afraid of his chest, and let out a long breath.
"Of course, this is the life I yearn for, not the life of labor reform. Every guest comes, and when they leave, just plant a small ridge, how can you really let you plant two acres of land at once!"
Huang Miao glanced at He Ling, and also felt that these two children were a little naïve...... Well, it's cute!
"Well, then I'll plant it again tomorrow morning, it should be fine. ”
Zhang Zichen looked at Wang Bao and found that he was also looking at him, so he winked at him, which seemed to mean that you will accompany me to farm tomorrow.
Wang Bao knew that as long as he planted a ridge of land, of course he would not be afraid, so when he saw Zhang Zichen's signal, he nodded very happily and agreed.
After chatting for a while, Wang Bao realized that these two people had been busy for a long time and only caught one chicken. In their words, these chickens are free-range chickens, which are difficult to catch in the mountains and forests behind.
Wang Bao despised them a lot in his heart, but he still complimented them, saying that if he went, he might not be able to catch any of them.
After chatting for a while, Wang Bao began to cook, and because he was tired today, he simply made some pimple noodle soup, which was sticky and slimy, and ate it to warm his stomach and relieve fatigue.
Everyone was tired today, so everyone went back to bed early.
