Chapter 14: Fried Fish to Eat
This night, Du Lei slept soundly, until noon the next day, he woke up, when he opened his eyes, he found himself back in his room.
It's still the same bed two years ago, everything is the same as it was two years ago, there is no change in the slightest, the only thing that has changed is that Du Lei lying on the bed is no longer the mediocre Du Lei he once was.
The walls are covered with posters of the Beatles, Du Lei was a Beatles fan when he was in high school, and the whole class and even the whole school, he alone liked the Beatles, a band that swept the world in the sixties of the last century.
So in the eyes of many classmates, he is a wonder, and there is a log-colored guitar hanging on the wall, which is Du Lei's fifteenth birthday gift.
His mother bought it for him in a musical instrument store in the center of Rongcheng, Du Lei taught himself to play for several years, and only mastered a little basic knowledge, and later as he grew older, he realized that the guitar is not a weapon for picking up girls, and having a good-looking face is the king.
But he didn't, his facial features were very ordinary, his face shape was also ordinary, and he was even a little chubby, he just inherited his father's growth genes, but he didn't get his mother's beautiful genes.
But fortunately, the appearance of that girl gave Du Lei great confidence......
After getting dressed, Du Lei pushed open the door, and his mother and father sat on the sofa watching TV.
"Xiao Lei, you're awake, there's your favorite dandan noodles on the table, which Mom just made for you, and it's still hot. "In the past two years, my mother has also been obviously old.
Du Lei's mother's surname is Li, and her full name is Li Mei. When he was young, he was a well-known beauty, and there were countless people who asked for marriage, and he was born into a big family, that is, Du Lei's grandfather, in the nineties of the last century, he was a real estate tycoon, although he is now down, but he is also a famous family in this town.
"Mom. Although Du Lei hadn't called this word for two years, when he saw his mother, he couldn't help but shout.
Li Mei smiled and looked at her son, her expression was slightly haggard, but judging from the outline of her face, it could be vaguely seen that she was a beauty when she was young.
"Eat it while it's hot, Mom knows you've been suffering outside for the past two years. Li Mei smiled kindly.
"Yes. Du Lei buried his head and ate the dandan noodles made by his mother, he was very lucky, others said that he ate the taste of his mother from the meal, and he ate the taste of his parents.
Because his dad is also a very skilled chef.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but in fact, it's just that they haven't reached the sad place, Du Lei couldn't help but shed tears, before he got the inheritance of the tyrant, his life was really hard.
Not to mention that there is no half-penny deposit in the bank card, because the salary is too low and he still owes debts, he can't even afford a decent mobile phone.
On weekdays, they are extremely poor to live, and they rarely even drink drinks, and that Boss Xu is a very picky person, although his family property is tens of millions, but he treats the employees under his hands, except for squeezing, squeezing.
After eating a bowl of noodles and washing the dishes, he began to discuss with his parents about going to live in the city, but his parents refused.
He said solemnly: "Mom and Dad, I bought a villa in the most scenic location in Rongcheng City, which is specially for the two of you to live in." ”
"I'm not used to living, to be honest, the house at home is very good, warm in winter and cool in summer, there are no flowers and plants in the yard, and there is a peach tree, I can eat fresh peaches every year. ”
Lao Du shook his head and said, "Besides, our family's century-old brand can't be cut off from my Du Wentao, and you will also take over this store at that time." ”
"You see that our uncle also wants to open a hot pot restaurant, you might as well leave it to him to take care of it, maybe you can really make a name for yourself." ”
Du Lei thought of his uncle who was thirty years old and had not yet married a wife.
Lao Du sighed slightly and said: "You don't know, what about your uncle, the most unreliable, too rough to do things, don't understand the accident mellow, if I hand over the hot pot restaurant to him, maybe I will have to make some moths." ”
Li Mei was immediately unhappy, and said a little angrily: "Lao Du, how did you speak?" Although Zhiquan is not angry, he is also my brother no matter how he says it. ”
"How about Zhiquan, you don't know, it's just mud can't support the wall, you just talk about his marriage, I told him several times, every time he comes to see the girl, he disappears, what do you think about him? ”
Don't mention it, this mention of Li Zhiquan, Lao Du is angry in his heart, even in front of his son, he is extremely annoyed.
"Dad, in fact, I think that if it really doesn't work, uncle, it's still a piece of jade, if it really doesn't work, I'll let him follow me to do antiques, and he can definitely get ahead." ”
Du Lei swore that he now has the inheritance of hegemony, and when the time comes, he can go to the sea to hunt for treasures, and he is afraid that he will not be able to transfer money? You know, there are countless shipwrecks in the sea, and those ships have unimaginable wealth.
He believed that as long as the ability of the Domination had a quality that could be continuously strengthened, then he would conquer the entire sea, and sit on the wealth that would make the world jealous, and the antiques, antiques, etc., would not be easy to capture.
After all, Du Lei still persuaded his stubborn father, helped his mother do housework for a morning at home, took care of the yard, and then went to the store to help his father make hot pot ingredients.
Near the end of the evening, the little fat Li Can and Du Wei, the two little cousins, all coaxed and said that Du Lei wanted them to take them to the reservoir to fry fish.
This didn't scare Du Lei, thinking that the little kid now has no common sense at all, what years have it been, if the fried fish is caught, he will squat.
When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he often followed Lao Du to the reservoir in the middle of the night to fry fish, using the kind of "torpedo" that he made shoddyly, but not to mention, it was very powerful, and when there was a stunned blue fried fish in the town, he didn't have time to put the lit torpedo man into the water, and as a result, he broke an arm, was blind, and half of his face was disfigured.
However, Lao Du is a cattle man, and the torpedo he made is very famous in the town, commonly known as safety mines, but in fact, the lead is relatively long.
When Du Lei was in elementary school, basically two of them had to follow Lao Du to fry fish in three days, and each time the two of them were full of harvest, at least one percent of the fish in the wild reservoir in this area were blown up by Lao Du's torpedo, and if the people in the town wanted to eat fish, they would go directly to pick it up the next morning.
Many fish on the edge of the reservoir were blown up and became mentally retarded and were about to die. Du Lei has been exposed to it since he was a child, and naturally he has also learned Lao Du's skills, catching birds and fishing, going up trees and going into the water, all of which are good hands.
It's just that since he was in his second year of high school, he hasn't done this kind of thing again, and when he was reminded by the two little kids, he had an urge to taste childlike fun.
"Cousin, what are you afraid of, let me tell you, although there are not as many fish in the township as before, there are several reservoirs in the mountains that no one can see, and now people have gone to work in the city, and there are few fish to eat at home. ”
Li Can said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were yellowed due to smoking, he was the child of Du Lei's aunt's family, he had been close to Du Lei since he was a child, and when he was still in kindergarten, he often risked being smoked and followed Du Lei down to the reservoir to swim.
"Brother Lei, what the fat man said is reasonable, let me tell you, no one looks at the reservoirs in the mountains, it doesn't matter how we bomb them, and there are no residents over there, no one will go to play anywhere at night." Du Wei seems to be determined to fry fish and make it exciting.
Then he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I secretly saved some money, I bought an inflatable boat on the Internet a while ago, which can carry two tons, which is very awesome, and the materials for the production of torpedoes, I have already prepared, I was originally going to pick a time to fry fish and eat it with the fat man, but now that you are back, you must follow." ”
"Okay, don't tell my dad, or you'll have to scold me. Let's go in the evening, and when the store closes, go home and get ready, and meet at the entrance of the town at eleven o'clock. Du Lei said.
The two seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers immediately showed excited looks, they hadn't done such an exciting thing for many years, especially under the leadership of Du Lei, the child king.
The business of the hot pot restaurant at night is okay, but the customers come early, so the market closes early, and it closes at nine o'clock.
The family had a hot pot with a friendly atmosphere, Du Lei said that he was going to play with his classmates, maybe he would have to play some time back at night, took a bath, changed into light clothes, prepared a little, and went out.
Li Can and Du Wei drove the three-wheeled motorcycle used to buy vegetables in the store and waited at the entrance of the town for a long time, but there was no way, there were too many things, especially the inflatable boat that Du Wei bought on the Internet, which was inflated when it was brought up, it stands to reason that it should be very small, but it can be replenished, and the volume is quite large.
There are also all kinds of fishing tools, fishing nets, fish baskets on the motorcycle, and of course, the most important thing is that these two young men are too lazy to walk, after all, the reservoir is still a little away from the town.
If there is a bumper harvest, you can't use a car to pull fish; Du Lei's three-wheeled motorcycle has only been bought in recent years.
Speeding on the cement road in the countryside, the buzzing sound was unusually powerful, Du Lei gave the two young men a cigarette, and the two of them were immediately excited to take it.
Fat man Li Can is an old smoking gun, when he was in the sixth grade of primary school, he began to smoke secretly behind his back, and later found out to his parents, and he couldn't stop him, now he has six or seven years of smoking age, when he finished Du Lei's cigarettes, he couldn't help but praise him, and said: "Big cousin, what are you doing now? It's a luxury car, it's expensive cigarettes, this is a special for the best red panda, just this cigarette, it's worth four or five packs of me." ”
"Cut. Fatty, can you still read the goods with your sample? You smoke a pack of soft white sand for five yuan. Du Wei couldn't help but look disdainful.
Du Lei didn't know much about cigarettes, this red panda was given to him by He Ruyue. smiled and nodded: "I didn't do any big business, I just made antiques, picked up leaks, and made a little money." ”
"Well, where do you still lack two helpers? Do you think I and the fat man have become a success? I don't have any other plans now, I just don't want to be a useless waiter for the rest of my life. Du Wei grinned and asked shyly.
"Okay. No problem, when the time comes, I'll go up, and the two of you will follow me, and make sure you soar. Du Lei took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile.
Li Can drove the motorcycle and swore a promise: "Big cousin, don't worry, we will definitely follow you well, if you don't mix people, you will never go home." ”
Gradually, the motorcycles drove into the mountains, and now the reservoir has been repaired very well, at least the cement road has been built in the mountains.
The night breeze is blowing, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the three of them are talking and laughing on the motorcycle, as if they have returned to the innocent era when they were children.
"Let's go, let's get out of the car, we can't get in inside, I'm going to die, this cement road hasn't been repaired to the inside." It's really and doesn't even poop clean. ”
Li Can turned the motorcycle around, stopped on the side of the road, took out a big lock, and locked the wheels tightly. If this car is stolen, they will definitely have to scold Lao Du to death when they go back.
You must know that Lao Du rides this car to purchase all the year round, and he has long cultivated a deep feeling.
The two young men were responsible for towing the inflatable boat to the edge of the reservoir, and Du Lei had already started to use a flashlight to make a torpedo, in fact, the torpedo method was very simple, that is, the formula was evenly put into a fist-sized glass bottle, and then a long lead was put on it.
Seal the mouth of the bottle with waterproof glue, leaving only the lead exposed, like this simple explosive, the better the seal, the more powerful it will be, especially when the bottle sinks to the bottom.
That's called a sour.
"Big cousin, how is it? Is it done?" About half an hour later, Du Lei had already made more than a dozen, he nodded to Li Can, who asked him, and packed them in a black plastic bag.
"Remember, let's just fry it on the side, I'm afraid that if we go inside, we won't be able to bring back dozens of catties of big fish. And this broken ship is so big. After Du Lei saw the inflated boat, the whole person was not good, and it was only the size of three bathtubs, and he could barely squeeze three people in, not to mention how many fish he could hold.
"Haha, Brother Lei, do you think it's gloomy here?" Du Wei looked around, it was indeed quite desolate, it was pitch black all around, and the edge of the reservoir was full of garbage foam and drink bottles that had been blown ashore.
Du Lei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, it's the twenty-first century, where did the ghost come from." Besides, isn't this quiet environment exactly what our brothers want?"
"If there is a ghost, I will catch it, take it down and go home to the oil pot, and feed it to me Ah Huang. Li Can also grinned.
looks like if the ghost dares to come, the master will dare to eat.
In fact, not to mention, in the wilderness of this big night, just the three of them, it is strange and terrible to think about. And Du Lei has obtained the inheritance of his subordinates, so he naturally believes that there are gods three feet above his head, so it is like this.
But he is not afraid of these unwarranted things, until he sees or hears them with his own eyes, he will never believe in bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
"Well, I'm not afraid of ghosts. I think we should be cautious, don't wait for the fish to blow up and lose our lives. Du Wei said with a weak heart, in fact, he was quite bold, but the current environment was indeed a bit frightening, especially the quiet and terrible surroundings, and there was not even the sound of birds and beasts.
"Let's get on the boat and take a look around. Du Lei pushed the inflatable boat into the water, turned over and jumped in, and then jumped on it twice, and found that the boat was not generally reliable, it is estimated that even if it is to go to the sea, there is no problem, and the design of this gas boat is also exquisite, it is estimated that Du Wei's kid spent a lot of money.
If he knew that this thing was bought by Du Weihua for 500 yuan on Taobao, he would definitely go home immediately, which was a joke with his life.
But Du Wei didn't say it, and he didn't know either, so he didn't think much about it, and the three of them got on the boat with tools and began to float inside.
It is used to pick up the water is two wooden oars, very simple, but also very practical, three people in one person, carrying a flashlight, Du Wei also prepared an electric fish machine, a bit similar to a weighing stone, connected to a very thick wire, and then put a battery and transformer on the boat, Du Wei explained that it was bought on the Internet, used to open the road.
Throw the scale into the reservoir and turn on the power, and from time to time there will be a "clang" sound, and then a few bubbles will emerge from the bottom of the water.
"Are you sure you can get electricity to fish?" Du Lei didn't believe it, he was okay in physics when he was in high school, according to his visual measurements, this kind of voltage is not to mention the fish in the water, I'm afraid even mosquitoes can't die.
But a miracle happened, when the scale was put under the water for about ten minutes, a palm-sized catfish was corona and surfaced, Li Can hurriedly fished it up with a fishing net, the water in the reservoir was blue, bottomless, and a few people looked at it with a flashlight, which was strange and scary.
Although the three of them are all master swimmers, if they fall into the water on this big night, it is estimated that they will choke enough. Du Wei put this fish trap mainly to scare the fish away.
Approaching the center of the reservoir, the three of them put down the slurry in their hands and threw a lot of pre-prepared bait into the distance, and it looked like it had been about ten minutes.
Du Lei acted, he took out the lighter, ignited the torpedo in his hand, leaned back slightly, then bent down and threw the torpedo in his hand into the distance again.
After a few seconds, there was a rush under the water, followed by a muffled sound! The power of this torpedo was surprisingly large, and it was not on the same level as the kind that Lao Du had done a few years ago.
Du Lei pondered, it is estimated that this one, may be able to return with a full load, catch fish early, Du Wei and Li Can, the two young men, hurriedly rowed the boat to the position where Du Lei had just dropped the torpedo, and began to "pick up fish", only to see a large number of stunned or injured fish floating on the water.
Generally speaking, this fried fish, try to pick the stunned fish and take it back to eat, the injured ones are left to fate, as for those who are unlucky, they will directly be fried to the powder and broken bones, and a lot of raw fish pieces can be clearly seen on the water surface, and fish blood, the scene is a little tragic.
However, everyone has long been accustomed to it, they are all young men, and they understand very well that the truth of the law of the jungle, of course, is a bit exaggerated when placed here by the fish.
"Big cousin, I want to try it too. Li Can looked at the torpedo in Du Lei's hand with a fiery face, since he had come, he naturally wanted to blow it up.
So Du Lei divided five for each of the two young men, and after blowing them up, he collected the net and went home, so in the next hour, the reservoir sounded a series of muffled sounds.
It is estimated that tomorrow morning, if the people in the town are diligent and get up early to pick up fish, it is estimated that they will be able to pick up a basket and take it back to make dried preserved fish, and keep it for the New Year to eat.
"That's amazing,. Du Wei looked at the fish in the boat that looked like small hills, and smiled and blossomed, most of these fish were very strong.
And after being stunned, it still looks very energetic, it is simply very different from the fish that are raised in captivity and fed, and it is estimated that the meat quality must be excellent.
Li Can, the little fat man, looked at the harvest and squinted his eyes, as if he had thought of the scene of eating fish hot pot tomorrow, especially when they also fried a lot of fist-sized crayfish and crabs, this is a rare thing, like this kind of thing is usually kept under the water, and it was actually blown up and floated to the surface of the water to join in the fun, and Du Wei caught all of them.
