Chapter 36: Murano Fish Fun (2)
To catch the big black fish, you must have your equipment ready. Chen Ze had been optimistic about a wild pond in the next village before, the area of the pond was about one acre, and during this time, people pumped water to farm, and there may not be much water in the wild pond. He hadn't been over there for a few days, and he was going to take his friends over to have a look.
Chen Ze divided the money he had just obtained from selling the fish into six equal parts, kept two for himself, distributed the other three to the three teenagers, and handed the last one to Wang Chao, who also went into the water to fish.
Wang Chao didn't answer, and refused: "I came to play with Liangzi today, you don't have to give it to me!"
Seeing that Wang Chao didn't want it, Chen Ze divided the money into five equal parts, gave three of them to the three teenagers, and told them to go home and prepare buckets and shovels and other items, and meet at the entrance of the village ten minutes later. The three teenagers took the money, answered happily, and dispersed.
Chen Ze asked Chen Tao to lead Li Liang and Wang Chao to cool off under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village, and he went back to get two buckets. The pond is quite large, and if you don't bring a few more buckets over, it may not be enough to hold fish.
"Taotao, do you have any crayfish here?" Li Liang asked, he also touched the fish with Taotao once last time, and witnessed it again today, he didn't seem to see the crayfish, so he asked.
"Yes, there are a lot of crayfish in the ditch pond in the east end of the village, but we don't like to catch them, and it hurts to pick up people!" Tao Tao said.
China was introduced from RB in the 30s and 40s of the 20th century, and RB was introduced from Eagle Sauce Country in an earlier period, mainly used as food and pets. Crayfish are often polycultured in crops such as rice paddies. There is no need for artificial incubation, and once the pond is stocked with seeds, it is self-sustaining, and there is no need to restocke the seeds after harvest. Crayfish was not very popular with the public in the 80s and 90s, mainly because crayfish needed heavy oil and heavy spicy stir-fry to be delicious, and in this era when the materials were not very rich, people were generally used to putting very little oil in stir-frying, so that they could not naturally make delicious crayfish.
Therefore, crayfish, the darling of various night food stalls and food stalls in the 21st century, is not popular in this era.
As he was talking, Chen Ze came back with two buckets, and several other friends also rushed back one after another to gather, and seven teenagers walked towards the wild pond in the neighboring village under the leadership of Chen Ze.
When we came to the pond, we were a little disappointed, the pond that was not expected to have much water, the surface of the pond was rippling, and it was covered with thorny water lily plants, the leaves of this water lily plant were the size of a bath tub, and they were spread on the water surface, and they were full of pimple protrusions. Next to the leaves, there are some chicken head fruit playfully raised their heads, the fruit of this chicken head fruit is the gourd, which has the effect of benefiting the kidney and strengthening essence, tonifying the spleen and stopping diarrhea, removing humidity and stopping the band. It's just that it's only July, and the seeds aren't ripe yet, and the flesh inside won't be ripe until around September, and then it's delicious.
Since the water in the pond is so large, it is definitely impossible for a few of them to drain the pond water with buckets. Everyone was a little disappointed, they thought they could catch a few big black fish, but now they can only return empty-handed.
"Why don't we go crayfishing?" Li Liang proposed.
"Fishing for crayfish, Brother Liang, no one eats that thing, and it can only be used to feed chickens and ducks!" Chen Ze said in surprise.
"Who said you can't eat it, I know a method, the crayfish made is very delicious, better than the braised pork you love to eat!" Li Liang knew that Chen Ze and Chen Tao both liked to eat fatty braised pork, so he compared it to braised pork.
"Brother Liang, is what you said true?" Chen Tao was a snack and was immediately interested, "Brother Liang, but how to catch this crayfish?"
Crayfish are a great thing to catch, and their favorite bait can be found everywhere in the countryside. For example, go to the ditch to pick up a few large snails, smash the hard snails with stones, and then take a few straws to tie the meat of the snails to the sticks, and it becomes a good bamboo pole for lobster fishing. Or catch a few frogs in the field and tie them to straw, which is also a good bait for lobster fishing.
Under Li Liang's guidance, everyone made a small fishing rod. A group of people, led by the Chen Ze brothers, walked to the east of the village where there were more crayfish. When I arrived at the place, it was a low-lying land, and the villagers planted some cocoons in it, Li Liang put the end of the bait tied into the water, and after only a few seconds, he saw something walking around with the straw, and he quickly lifted it up, ho, what a big crayfish. Its two large pincers clung to the delicacy in front of it, and it did not let go until it was lifted to the shore by Li Liang. Such a big crayfish, in the previous life in the food stall, at least 98 yuan a piece.
Although the teenagers were skeptical of Li Liang's statement that the crayfish were delicious, the crayfish fishing itself was indeed a very fun thing, and everyone had a lot of fun. The funniest thing is Wang Chao, who caught two crayfish and is holding them down on their carapaces, preparing for them to have a ring match. When Chen Tao saw it, he also did the same, and he also caught a few crayfish to play.
The crayfish in this water area seem to be as if they don't need money, and they are as much as rice, and soon Li Liang caught most of the buckets, and he looked at the buckets of several other people, and they all gained a lot.
"Let's go, let's go back to the store, I'll make you a plate of spicy crayfish, and you'll know the deliciousness of this thing when you eat it!" Li Liang saw that the harvest was full and was ready to go home.
The teenagers carried the buckets and returned to the Wangkelai restaurant, which was already more than 11 o'clock in the morning, and the store began to have customers one after another. When Zhang Meng saw them coming back, he thought he had caught a big black fish, and ran out of the lobby to see that it was a crayfish eaten by everyone, he shook his head, just thinking that the teenagers were messing around.
Li Liang commanded several teenagers to clean the crayfish with a brush, and removed the shrimp head and shrimp tail line, leaving only the most delicious shrimp tail of the crayfish. He carried a bucket full of packed crayfish to the back kitchen. Chen Ze and Chen Tao helped in the store, and seeing that there were many people in the store, they took the initiative to help Zhang Meng prepare ice water. Several other teenagers and Wang Chao were very sensible, and instead of staying in the store and grabbing seats with the guests who came to eat, they found a tree not far from the house and rested and chatted under the tree.
Li Liang came to the back kitchen, Chen Chunhua was stir-frying, and it was Chen Li who was burning the fire in the stove.
There were two stir-fry pots in the kitchen, and Chen Chunhua was too busy to use one of them. Li Liang greeted Chen Chunhua and prepared to make a spicy crayfish.
Chen Chunhua is just a child, she has grown so big, she has eaten crayfish a few times when she was difficult to live before she got married, but the boiled crayfish is not delicious.
