Chapter 15 Preparing for Fishing
Chun Tao turned around when she heard the sound, and Gong Yatou stood behind her, carrying a basket with kelp in it.
"Do you have a good idea?" Chun Tao asked.
"You are like this, first get the net wet, hold it smoothly, and then put the net rope on your hand, pay attention to my hands, whether it is sprinkled or cast, or the net will be entangled in the city, you are like this"
Gong Yatou personally demonstrated to Chun Tao, and when she went down this net, she really caught a fish half the size of a small one.
Chun Tao tried two more times under her guidance, but she didn't find any nets, but her movements were proficient.
"There are no big fish on the beach this time, and I caught the low tide, which is already considered lucky, my mother hasn't come to hang up for a long time. If you want to catch fish with this kind of net, you still have to go to sea, and after a while, you won't be able to catch fish during the fishing moratorium. ”
"Girl, thank you, you caught this fish, give it to you." Spring peach refers to the small fish on the beach.
She also figured it out, the second uncle deliberately asked his son to buy such a net so that she couldn't catch it, and the effect of hanging fish on the beach was better than fishing nets.
The fish only needs to be in the water, and the fish will hang on it when it touches it, and when the time is collected, people don't have to look at it, but the fishing net must be cast, from the time point of view, the fishing net is not suitable for offshore fishing, and the second uncle is bullying Chun Tao and doesn't understand anything.
"What's polite, I have a lot of dried small fish at home, you can take it back, what, do you eat kelp, let's pick up some kelp and take it back?"
"Yes." Anyway, I can't catch fish, so it's better to chat with her and talk to her.
This girl is real, she will say whatever she asks, listening to Chun Tao's intention to fish, and enthusiastically introducing her to the recent high tide and low tide time.
Gong Yatou often comes to hang fish, and understands the tide very clearly, this sea area is shallow, if you want to catch fish, it is best to catch the high tide, there are more fish.
She seems to like spring peaches very much, and the two of them look for the kelp floating up along the coastline, this sea is particularly clean, there is no pollution, and the kelp floating up can also be eaten, picking up the dark brown thick one, which is good, and the thin gray-green one is not growing well, don't have white spots, it is rotten.
Chun Tao thought that what she had seen at the beach before was the smell of industrial gasoline, and she couldn't eat it.
"Sister-in-law Yu-"
"You can just call me Chun Tao." This egg hurts to be called
"Chun Tao, get up early tomorrow, you can pick yellow clams when the tide is low, can you come? No one in our village likes to eat that, but I do. "I grew up by the sea, and I have eaten enough of these things, and many people are not uncommon to eat them.
"Okay, I like to eat too." Spicy fried yellow clams~
When Chun Tao brought back the small fish and a few pieces of seaweed, it was time to make dinner.
Lai Xinghua saw her come back with a small broken fish, a little unhappy.
"I can't finish the vegetables in the field, you are busy with this little thing this day, you might as well go to the field with me to plant in the autumn when you have that time."
"I don't have time." Chun Tao casually put the fish down, and then dried the fishing nets.
Saying that the fish was not caught, the net was contaminated with a fishy smell, she frowned in disgust, smelled her body, and it was time to take a bath.
How to get the smell off the body of the fisherman, and how to keep the face from being red by the sea breeze, is a very deep problem.
"How can you be so lazy, all day and night at the beach, one daughter-in-law in ten miles and eight villages is counted as one, I have never seen such a lazy person as you, you don't do anything at home, you just want to be lazy."
"You've seen it now."
Chun Tao's words didn't make Lai Xinghua angry.
"If you spread it like this, you're not afraid of making the villagers laugh to death! Whoever dares to contradict her mother-in-law will be laughed to death if she says it! ”
Lai Xinghua has taken care of her mother-in-law for many years under this strong belief, although she occasionally feels a little annoyed.
"Those who are afraid of being laughed at are people who are not confident enough, I tell you that you may not understand, but I have my own guidelines for doing things, don't look for me if I do what I should do or not, other people's opinions don't matter to me." She's just spending the night,
"You!" Lai Xinghua is going to be angry.
Chun Tao went to wash her hands to deal with the kelp, cut it into shreds after cooking, put some red rice pepper, the focus is on garlic, she doesn't like the taste of garlic very much, but it is not delicious to do this without garlic, mash it and soak it in water, and after a while, mix it with garlic water, and then put some sesame oil vinegar, it is very refreshing to eat in summer.
When she was cooking, Lai Xinghua stood at the door and looked into the distance, her eyes a little confused.
"Tomorrow's stew won't be eaten"
"If you are hungry, you will buy it, don't you take all the money given by your comrades in arms?" Chun Tao added firewood to the stove pit and said casually.
"You stupid peach!" Lai Xinghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, glared at her and entered the house.
What's going on?
When Xiao Miao came back, she was also sitting on the steps sullenly, and Chun Tao only found out when she asked.
If Yu Hai didn't have an accident, this should be the time for him to pay his salary, this man will mail money to his family every month, very punctual, and after taking the money, Lai Xinghua will cut some meat and buy some fish for the family, and there are always several times a month to improve the family's life.
It is said that this is also a mandatory rule for Yu Hai, for fear that his younger brother will be malnourished, which is considered to be an upper-average standard of living in the village.
A few days have passed since Yu Hai's death, and life seems to be going on, but the thoughts he left for his family cannot be quelled.
It's not a matter of eating some meat to improve their lives, and the family's hope for a good life is gone.
Chun Tao saw Xiao Miao's sadness in his eyes, it was time to use his own system, although there was no way to make up for the pain of losing his brother, but he could always comfort him
The next day, Chun Tao took the fishing net that seemed to have no eggs and met Gong Yatou at the entrance of the village.
It was only four o'clock, and the sky was only with a faint light, and Gong Yatou was a little puzzled when she saw that she was carrying a huge basket and fishing nets.
"Chun Tao, what are you doing with a net, you can't catch fish, let's pick some yellow clams at low tide."
"Try your luck."
Chun Tao's faint smile hides her confidence.
She twisted her waist and swung her hips to call the system last night while everyone was asleep, and this time she got something good.
A small fishing net for 1 Fish Coin and a Super Bait for 3 Fish Coins.
The effect of this bait is very good, as long as you sprinkle a little bit to attract the nearby fish, she does not have many fish coins in her hand, so she can only buy the least, it is said that it can attract 2000 catties of fish.
This bait can be used in batches, so Chun Tao only plans to use a little, as long as this net can get 200 catties, she will not lose money, because 100 catties of fish can be exchanged for huàn 1 fish coin, and then deduct the cost of bait, at least 70 catties of the remaining fish can be used to sell for money.
(Thank you Mu Ziyan 22 for the peace charm reward!) )
