Chapter 255: A Magical Companion
After dividing the eggs, the fat man still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he actively participated in the "belly project", everyone was in full swing at the construction site, and he also threw off his arms in terms of logistics support.
The next target, of course, is duck and goose eggs, which are best for pickling and serving as both pickles and vegetables. So, the fat man discussed with the car boss: go to the goose factory to pull duck eggs and goose eggs.
Unexpectedly, the car boss was about to go to Nanwazi to get some river fish. Although it can't be as large as winter fishing, a family with two big fish can also satisfy their cravings.
So he prepared three carts, together with the fat man and Qiqi, a total of five people, pulling fishing gear and two large carts of flower baskets, and went straight to Nanwazi.
Because it was Sunday, Qiqi also came, and she was mainly worried about Ah Zi's family and Honghong, that is, the flower-faced fox.
The fat man also felt that it was necessary, and it was still useful to have proper comfort, otherwise after a long time, the emotional bond would crack, and the sable and fox would run away from home.
When passing by the frog factory, the fat man saw that the old man had re-occupied the shack, all of them patrolling the frog factory with a big whip, and in the air, from time to time, there were waterfowl thieves flying by, and they were startled by the sound of whips.
Qiqi rolled his eyes wide, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Fat uncle, last year's egret must have returned!"
The fat man was not sure in his heart, after all, there were many swamps, and the process of migratory birds was also full of crises. However, seeing Qiqi's little face full of anticipation, the fat man nodded firmly.
After arriving at the goose factory, it was empty, only Li Liuye was alone in the courtyard, and the others must have let the goose go. The flower-faced fox was basking in the sun at the base of the wall, and when he saw Kiki, he slowly walked over, squinting and enjoying Kiki's caresses. Then, arch the fat man's thighs with his head. It seems that the last time he entered the mountain, his relationship with the fat man deepened.
Qiqi ran to the warehouse to see Ah Zi, but unexpectedly pounced, Li Liuye hurriedly said, "Ah Zi's family may have gone up the mountain again", which made the little girl a little stunned.
The fat man asked Li Liuye about the stocking situation, and learned that it was going well, and he also changed places every day according to the fat man's request.
Unloading the two baskets of eggs in the car, the fat man said happily: "Exchange eggs for goose eggs, one for another." β
"This is for us? Haha, Cheng, I'll give you all the goose eggs and duck eggs we used to have. As soon as Li Liuye saw this posture, he understood, and he was so happy to show his mouth full of open teeth.
Although duck eggs and goose eggs are picked every day, however, several people in the goose factory have not tasted any of them, at this point, the flower-faced fox is stronger than them, this guy has been beaten several times by the monkey, but he has not hit.
The other two car bosses and Li Liuye loaded duck eggs and goose eggs in the goose factory, and the fat man specially explained: leave 200 duck eggs and 100 goose eggs for a few people in the goose factory to pickle and eat.
Under normal circumstances, the fishy smell of goose eggs and duck eggs is slightly larger, which is related to their activities in the water, so, it is more fishy to eat when fried, it is best to marinate and salty and cook to eat, and must be boiled thoroughly, if it is the most suitable when boiling bud rice ballast, put it in the pot for an afternoon, take it out at night, the egg white is white, the egg yolk is purple and red, and the oil will rise when you pick it.
After the arrangement was completed, the car boss led the fat man and Qiqi to go fishing, and the fat man fished by the water's edge, even with a lazy hook and a bearded cage, and was busy working alone, eating all the sizes; the car boss took a penny and took Qiqi on a raft to cast a net in the big bubble.
At this time, the climate has warmed up, the water surface is sparkling, the figure of the old and the young is drifting farther and farther, quite a bit of the meaning of traveling far away in the rivers and lakes, even the fat man has seen it, and he is a little forgetful.
The fish in the spring are relatively hungry, so when fishing, use earthworms, and the hooks used by the fat people are all large, so they go to the big fish to get stubble. Every other day, I will collect the beard cage again, which is full of chubby willow roots, one or two inches long, slightly yellowish in color, like rolling meat, if you stew it with some sauce, it must be particularly fragrant.
Gradually, the fat man was a little too busy to work, only to see him lifting the fishing rod with one hand, and pulling the lazy hook back with the other, wishing that he could grow three heads and six arms.
The water splashed in the distance, revealing a long black back, and it seemed that the one on the lazy hook was a big one. The fat man used one arm to shake the fishing rod vigorously, and a catfish of more than a pound was directly picked up by him.
The hook fell out of the fish's mouth, and the fish swooped in the grass where it had just emerged. The fat man didn't care about it, pulled the lazy hook with all his might, and began to tug of war with the big fish in the water.
After being stuffy for nearly half an hour, the big fish ran out of strength and was pulled to the shallows by the fat man, which turned out to be a big carp, estimated to be seven or eight pounds, and its whiskers were two inches, like a small loach.
The fat man simply threw off the shoes on his feet, went down into the water, and carried the big fish to the shore. It was at this time that the fat man found that not far in front of him, there were two snow-white figures.
"Egretβ" The fat man quickly recognized the big angelic bird, but he was not sure that these two were not the ones who had caused trouble in the frog factory last year.
"Fish, my catfishβ" After looking at it for a long time, the fat man reacted that the two egrets had almost eaten up the catfish he had just caught.
The fat man was angry and laughed: "It must be you, you specially stole fish to eat last year!"
Well, I recognize it from this.
The fat man was reluctant to drive away the two big white birds, anyway, the other fish were in the net pocket, and he was not afraid that they would steal food again, so he continued to concentrate on fishing, and the two egrets did not go far, and they practiced the golden rooster behind the fat man**.
Turning back by chance, the fat man suddenly saw two loops of rope tied to the long legs of the two egrets. Although it has faded a little, it can still be distinguished as red.
"It's really them!" the fat man remembered the scene when Qiqi tied the red head rope of the little egret here last year, and his heart did not feel a wave, there was something called warmth, rippling with the water.
"Fat uncle, we're backβ" Kiki's voice drifted over, as if it had come from a paradise.
The two egrets suddenly fluttered their wings and flew like two white clouds, floating on the water, and then, together, folded their wings and landed on the raft.
Kiki holds an egret around its neck in one hand and puts its little face on its head. The two egrets' braid-like crown feathers lined with Qiqi's red face, which was extremely beautiful.
The owner of the car propped the raft to the shore, and then transported all the fish in the water tank to the shore, the smallest of which were more than two or three catties, and the harvest greatly exceeded that of the fat man.
However, when Qiqi jumped to the shore and saw the big carp that the fat man caught, he still praised the fat uncle, and then blinked his big eyes and said, "Can you give the egret a small fish?" β
The fat man was angry and threw two over: "One is enough to eat, give them two." β
Qiqi saw that the fat uncle threw over two willow roots.
Seeing that there were also two or three hundred catties of fish, the car boss also stopped: "It's better to fight as little as possible in spring, the fish can survive the harsh winter, and they will produce seeds soon." β
The fat man also nodded again and again, whether it is Wang Sanpao or the car boss, they will follow the simple rules of survival to act, which is most admired by the fat man.
Collect the whisker cage, there are more than ten catties of willow roots, which is a small harvest, get all kinds of household goods to the car, and the group will return to the goose factory.
Kiki sat in the carriage, and the two of them were in the air, never leaving each other. Qiqi tilted his little brain and said, "Uncle Fat, will you take them home too?"
The fat man shook his head again and again: "It's best not to raise migratory birds, and it's not bad to say this, you don't necessarily need to be together every day." β
Although Qiqi was a little reluctant, he also waved his hand: "I'll see you later." The two egrets circled a few times and then flew off into the distance.
After returning to the goose factory, Li Liuye had already put duck eggs and goose eggs into the flower basket, and also padded reeds layer by layer, which should be able to withstand the bumps.
The big fish are also packed into baskets and covered with damp cloths. The fat man took out a few and handed them to Li Liuye: "It will be stewed in a while, and it is estimated that the goose will come back soon." β
Just as the big fish had been stewed into the pot, Kiki came in and reported, "Uncle Fat, the geese are back." β
The fat man also hurriedly went out of the house, and a rattling sound was heard from afar. This is mainly made by the duck's small flat beak, and the goose is generally relatively calm and never barks.
"This is really a lot of momentum. The fat man looked around, and saw that the geese were so loud that they were overwhelming, like a white wave, rolling over the green grass.
During the period, there was also a sharp whistle, and then I saw the monkey puppeteer walking at the front of the line, holding his head high, a bit of a walking posture.
Behind him, there was a team of ducks, shaking to the left and to the right, in line with the pace of the monkeys.
"Commander Monkey has become Commander Duck. The fat man muttered, no matter what, he would never have thought that the monkey trickster who wielded the whip back then would become what he is now.
When the ducks and geese arrive in the yard, they begin to separate themselves and return to their respective homes. Several of the geese herds greeted the fat man affectionately, and then touched Kiki's little face.
The monkey player looked very excited: "Qiqi, I'll take you to see something new, just sure you haven't seen it." β
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly followed. The monkey led the big and the small to a goose shed, and pointed inside: "Look at the gray fellow." β
Next to a big white male goose, there is a big goose that is one size smaller than it, the feathers on its body are gray and bald, the wings and tail are inlaid with a circle of white edges, the red beak, and the paws of the feet exposed on the abdomen are also red, which is obviously different from the big goose.
The fat man scratched the back of his head: "It seems to be a wild goose?"
"It's the big gray goose. The monkey looked proud.
"What are the geese running here to make a fuss?" the fat man was also a little puzzled.
"Haha, I picked up this wild goose a few days ago, and I don't know if it was scratched by something. I wanted to stew it, but I didn't want to, so I gave it some medicine and threw it into the geese. And guess what, it's like the big white goose, and it's all day long, inseparable. Haha, interesting, right?"
The fat man slapped his thigh: "This wild goose must be a female goose!"
"I don't know if it's a male or a female. "The monkey is happy because the big white goose is attractive, and I really haven't thought about the gender of the wild goose.
The fat man rolled his eyes, and suddenly said a few times: "You pay attention to see if it lays eggs, if it lays eggs, it must be the mother." β
"It's up to you to say that. "The monkey is a little dissatisfied, I haven't heard of a boy laying eggs.
"If you lay eggs, you'll have to keep them alone, and I'd love to see what they can hatch. The fat man's little eyes shone brightly, full of anticipation.
