Chapter 2061: Spring

"Not only that, but in the morning, these Xiangjiang bosses also caught a fish of nearly 100 catties, and they didn't finish it. I also bought a pheasant and a hare and it was all good stuff for the evening!"

Zhang Chu's brother-in-law saw the big wild boar that was decomposed and greeted Zhang Chu with a smile. What he didn't know was that Zhang Chu's family not only got a big wild boar today, but also caught a big fish of nearly 100 catties in the morning, and he didn't finish it.

Zhang Chu's mother and Aunt Zhang Chu didn't pay much attention to it, and after listening to Zhang Chu's aunt's words, she couldn't help but smile and said, this dinner at her own house is even grander than the wine banquet.

"So many good things? It's even grander than a wine feast. ”

Zhang Chu's cousin also came over, this sister is now on summer vacation, and she happened to come to Zhang Chu for dinner. However, this girl doesn't like to talk much, so after arriving at Zhang Chu's house, she sat aside and watched TV quietly.

Aunt Zhang Chu went to the kitchen to help Zhang Chu's mother prepare meals, while chatting with Zhang Chu's mother. Zhang Chu's brother-in-law and Zhang Chu accompanied Lao Li and they chatted casually, drinking tea by the way.

Zhang Chu's brother-in-law is now very satisfied with his nephew, helped him expand his business, helped his son find a job, and helped his wife find the necklace back today, can he be dissatisfied?

After Lao Li and the three of them got the wild boar back, they were in a state of semi-excitement. It's just that Zhang Chu said that the truth of the matter can't be said, so they haven't said it.

First took a photo with the wild boar, and then when the butcher was sorting out the wild boar, Chen Sheng took a few photos with his camera from time to time.

This is not the Internet era in the future, eating wild meat and posting it in the circle of friends is easy to be reported and criticized. At this time, there is no circle of friends, and even that communication program has not yet been fully popularized, so naturally there is no need to worry about those.

"Shall we go fishing again tomorrow?" or do we go somewhere else?"

After dinner, Lao Li touched his stomach and burped and asked, I still didn't control my mouth for dinner, I was a little full, and it was difficult to digest without rubbing.

The idea of deciding to come over here to play this time is really too wise, and even Zheng Sheng, who has never shown his emotions very much, has a comfortable look.

It's the first day, and it's a big surprise for them. First, I caught a fish of nearly 100 catties, and then I got a wild boar of more than 200 catties, which was a bit big.

So the three of them began to look forward to the days here, and they began to ask Zhang Chu about tomorrow's arrangements in advance, maybe there will be unexpected gains tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, how about we continue to catch fish tomorrow? The spring from which we drank tea, because the spring water flowed relatively well, formed a small stream, which flowed just past the gates of several villages on our side. The fish in there tastes different, and there are rice shrimp. ”

Zhang Chu said that this water spring is very special, whether it is drought or rainy season, the water that comes out is a quantity, not more, not less, it seems that the outside environment has no impact at all.

The most famous is the three years of natural disasters, the surrounding areas were very dry, and the paddy fields were cracked, but Zhang Chu and their neighborhood were not affected by drought.

The water used in the paddy fields of several villages in the radius was taken from the springs, which lasted for a few years, so the surrounding villagers had special feelings for this water spring. This is their life-saving spring, you must know that in those years there were disasters everywhere, and many people were starved to death.

The spring is backed by a mountain on one side, a swamp on both sides, and a dirt road in the village on the other. There is nothing special about the spring water, just like ordinary spring water.

In addition to the magic of the water output, everything else has always been warm in winter and cool in summer. I guess this is a common feature of underground springs, and the water is very clear.

There are often fish and shrimp running out of this water spring, and there are usually more crucian carp in deep water. There is also a long fish, and Zhang Chu can't tell what kind of fish it is.

Although these two kinds of fish are not the same kind of fish, they have a common characteristic, that is, the taste is particularly delicious, better than the ordinary wild fish, Zhang Chu and the people near them call these fish spring fish.

The fish in the spring are delicious, but the fish in this spring are not easy to catch. If people in the neighborhood want to catch it, they usually wait for the fish to run a little further away from the spring, and then use a net to catch it, but the harvest is not too much.

As for the spring water, there is no need to worry about contamination, and most of the time the water here is used for irrigation. The surrounding villagers drink water from the well in front of their village, and the water they drink does not come from this spring.

"Go and catch fish in the spring, can you catch them?"

After listening to Zhang Chu's words, the three of them asked a little curiously, they didn't know what the spring water looked like here, so they didn't know how to catch fish.

"Yes, the fish there tastes better than the fish we caught today, and it is very good for stewed soups. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chu replied with a smile, these places are all places where he has caught fish, so he naturally knows whether these places can catch fish.

"Okay, we'll follow you tomorrow to catch fish." ”

The brook along the road in front of the village is the location of the spring, which is surrounded by mountains on one side, roads on one side, and a large marshland on the other side.

Originally, the silt in the swamp was very deep, and people could not be trapped when they stepped on it, but when they were engaged in the collective, the cadres from the countryside and the surrounding villagers cut down the big trees from the mountains to fill them in, and then reclaimed them into rice fields.

The yield of this type of rice field is very low, and it is not easy to cultivate. Because there is water in the fields all year round, it is still cold water, and it cannot be dried, and people are prone to rheumatism after staying in the paddy fields for a long time.

After the heading period, the rice needs to be sunned, but it cannot be dried here. In addition, it was a muddy field, so I couldn't use machines yet, so I had to rely on manual labor to cultivate it, and it was very hard to work in that kind of land.

In the past, it was because there was not enough food to eat, so I thought about turning this wasteland into a rice field. At this time, there were still many people planting this kind of field, and after a few years, there would be no one to plant it here after the public grain was exempted.

It's hard, it's not worth it, it's not cost-effective. Instead of planting this kind of cultivated land and harvesting a little bit, it is better to go out and work for others to earn money, which is easier than this, and the harvest is more.

At this time, there were still people planting this kind of cultivated land, and when Zhang Chu and they came over with fishing nets, many of them were harvesting rice on the roadside. There are familiar people, and they will say hello after seeing Zhang Chu.

When a few people approached the water spring, the first thing that caught their eye was a small lotus flower. Because of the springs, there is a small uncultivated swamp around it, which is overgrown with lotus flowers.

At this time, the flowers are blooming brightly, and the green leaves and red flowers are particularly eye-catching in this summer. The lotus flowers here are wild lotus flowers, which only bloom and form lotus flowers, and do not grow too long lotus roots.

It is precisely because they do not grow lotus roots and grow in swamps that they can survive all the time. has been here since Zhang Chu had a memory, otherwise he would have been dug up a long time ago.

Lao Li's eyes lit up as soon as they saw this small piece of lotus, red flowers and green leaves, plus green mountain spring water, it looked particularly eye-catching, and it also made people feel very relaxed.
