Fang Mowei took a fishing net and a fishing fork, and observed the movement in the water with his grandfather.
They searched, searched, and finally found a few more yellow catfish in the mud puddle near the corner of the pond.
And at this moment, the yellow catfish seem to know that their end is coming, and they hide tightly next to the pit wall, and their bodies are still still, just like the branches of a jujube tree in a day, and they really can't find it if they don't look closely.
When it comes to guys like yellow catfish, they are also first-class masters in disguise, and their body color is yellowish, and their surroundings are also yellowish.
Fang Mowei gave his grandfather a look, and his grandfather nodded his understanding.
"Let's go." Fang Mowei said in a low voice, and the fish in his hand pounced quickly, and the water splashed, and the mud pit was chaotic.
Along the way, I passed by several neighbors and the same ancestors and relatives of the Gu family, and they were full of praise when they saw Fang Mowei accompanying his grandfather in fishing, boasting that his grandfather and grandmother were blessed, and Cheng Xiaorui was able to find such a good man, and they had such a good grandson-in-law.
After the tacit cooperation of my grandfather and Fang Mowei, in less than two hours, I caught a lot of fish, which can be said to have a lot of harvest, including herring, grass carp, carp, crucian carp, etc., more than 300 catties.
Looking at the bright smiles of his grandparents and grandmothers, Fang Mowei was very accomplished.
This is the power of conquest, never flinch when encountering difficulties, but muster up greater enthusiasm to conquer!
Fang Mowei remembered his previous idea again, to tidy up the dry pond, raise fish in the pond in the spring of the next year, and then plant lotus roots, so that he and Cheng Xiaorui would often come back to see it in the future. The scenery is more beautiful and pleasing to the eye, especially in summer, and there are elegant lotus flowers for a few miles.
Fang Mowei told his grandfather about his own ideas. In an instant, my grandfather was so happy that he liked Fang Mowei's ideas and ideas too much. So when it was not dark, he began to clean up the weeds, dead grass, and broken tiles and other messes in the pond outside the mud pit, and scooped them up little by little or hooked and threw them on the road against the field on the other side.
The pond has not stored water for a long time, but it is not completely dry and hard, after all, it often rains here, so there is still silt and water in some places, and the mud is soft. Clear, Fang Mowei's eyes suddenly lit up again.
Another view.
In one place, there are many, many small holes in the mud pool where two centimeters of clear water are stored.
"Eel, yellow eel!" Grandpa also shouted in surprise, and hurriedly asked grandma to vacate a new bucket.
The eel is about 20 cm long, scaleless or with very small scales, with very low dorsal and anal fins that are continuous around the tail end, and the gills usually have only one outer gill hole in the throat. The anterior segment is tubular, gradually flattened laterally to the tail, and the tail end is flattened. The whole body is bare and scaleless. The head is large, tapered, with a pointed snout.
The eel is a valuable food fish in the East. It is often stored in ponds or rice paddies. In shallow water, the front half of the body can be straightened, and the mouth can breathe to the surface of the water, storing air in the mouth and throat, so the larynx appears to be swollen. The eel has a slender and serpentine body, a round front and a flat back, a thin tail tip, and a long and round head, which looks a little intimidating.
During the day, eels like to burrow in humus silt or burrow in rocky crevices with water on the embankment, and are rarely active during the day. Coming out of the burrow at night to feed. The gills are underdeveloped, and the epidermis of the inner wall of the oral cavity and laryngeal cavity is used as an auxiliary organ for respiration. Able to breathe air directly. It can survive when the oxygen content in the water is very poor. After coming out of the water. As long as the skin is kept moist, it will not die within a few days.
Afterwards, Grandpa and Fang Mowei hurriedly worked hard to clean up the pond, and also put their hands into the mud and pulled out one yellow eel after another. In the end, there were at least thirty pounds.
However, in the evening, the handling of these yellow eels, several people made difficulties again, and their own family was only four people, and they couldn't finish eating.
After thinking about it for a long time, my grandfather finally decided to give it away, and the neighboring friends in the village all gave half a catty and a few taels.
Eel is not only a delicacy for eating, its meat, blood, head and skin also have certain medicinal value, and have the effects of blood tonic, qi, anti-inflammatory, disinfection, and rheumatism. Eel meat is sweet and warm, has the effect of nourishing and benefiting blood, treating deficiency, and is used by folk to use as medicine, which can treat symptoms such as fatigue cough, damp and warm body itching, hemorrhoidal fistula, intestinal wind hemorrhoids, and deafness.
I heard that the eel head is calcined and ashed, and it can be taken with warm wine on an empty stomach, and it can also treat women's hard pain in the breast core. Eel bones are used as medicine and treat eczema, and the effect is quite significant. Its blood can also treat crooked mouth and eyes, and people who have suffered from eye diseases in the past know that eating eel is beneficial.
In short, eating eel often has a strong tonic function, especially for people who are weak, sick and postpartum.
After finishing work, my grandfather helped my grandmother cook dinner. For dinner, the four of them naturally ate fried eel paste, and the snails were dried aside first.
Stir-fried eel paste, fresh and tender, fragrant taste, rich in nutrition, and the method is not complicated.
Cut the eel, wash it, cut it into small pieces of four or five centimeters, prepare the ginger, cut half into shreds, cut half into puree, and shred the ham. Then heat the pan, add oil, cook until five is ripe, simmer the eel for about three or four seconds, add soy sauce, salt, sugar, ginger, Shao wine and soup.
Wait until the eel shreds are colored, then thicken them with cornstarch water, stir-fry for a while, drizzle sesame oil, mix well and put them in the saucer, then put the eel paste in the middle of the concave, sprinkle pepper around it, put ginger shreds, ham shreds and green onions, etc., and then put it on the high heat of the pot, put in sesame oil and burn until it smokes.
When it comes to cutting eels, I have to say that it is actually a manual work, technical work, and a job that requires a little psychological knowledge.
At that meeting, Cheng Xiaorui and Fang Mowei watched their grandfather cut the eel.
The procedure is as follows: Grandpa first grabs a large eel from the bucket, chokes the eel's head with his hands, and turns it over so that the eel's belly is facing up. Then grab a pair of sharp scissors in your right hand and aim them at the eel's neck and click the scissors. In an instant, a large hole was broken between the eel's head and body, and bright red blood gushed out of the mouth.
The eel writhed vigorously in the last moments of its struggle. Grandpa tossed it into the bucket and pulled out the other eels to kill.
Today's dinner, my grandfather also had a rare drink of wine with Fang Mowei. The wine is plum blossom wine, which was made by my grandfather himself. The brewing method is also relatively easy, first collect plum blossoms in your own plum forest, dry them for a few days, wait for the water to dry out, remove the stamens, and then put the dried flowers into the wine jar, add koji, seal and bury them in the ground, and you can drink them in half a month.
The plum blossom wine has a very low degree, and there is a faint floral fragrance in the mouth, and its taste is even more fragrant, and the sugar content is higher, and it is also a treasure to warm the stomach and ward off the cold.
After dinner, Cheng Xiaorui and Fang Mowei took the little wolf dog for a walk nearby. My grandparents were busy at home, and there were a lot of fish caught today, and many people in the village went to their homes, watching, buying, and grandparents generally bought one get one free.
The two watched the little wolf dog staggering on the ground, while keeping sniffing the smell of the dead grass on the side of the road, black and fluffy so cute.
Cheng Xiaorui also smiled, looked at Fang Mowei beside her, and said, "Brother Mowei, should we give the dog a name?" ”
"Hmm......" Fang Mowei pursed her lips, put one hand in her jacket pocket, and reached out to pat the back of Cheng Xiaorui's head with the other, and said, "Yes, it's just that what is the right name, huh?" Did you think of it? ”
He doesn't know how to choose a name, he has all the cells in his brain, so he has no literary cells and no literary talent.
Suddenly, Cheng Xiaorui's face was even more smiling like a flower, and her expression was a little weird and cunning, and she said slowly: "It's called...... Ink...... Rare. ”
Fang Mowei was not angry at all, since he was with Cheng Xiaorui, his temper had really become much better, and he said calmly: "Then it's better to be called Xiaorui, it looks more like you." ”
"No, it's more like you, it's male!" Cheng Xiaorui put her hands behind her back and looked at the already dark sky with her head held high.
Her head was round, she had been moisturized recently, and her face was even more fleshy, Fang Mowei couldn't help but stop, took another step in front of her, solemnly faced her, and said, "Why don't you call it an equation?" Fang Mowei's Fang, Cheng Xiaorui's Cheng? ”
"Equations?" Cheng Xiaorui also looked at him peacefully, scratched his head, and felt that the name was weird, and after thinking about it, he shook his head decisively and continuously, saying: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's an equation, a mathematical equation!" ”
Fang Mowei's eyes showed a rare affection and tenderness, and said, "The mathematical equation is also very good, isn't it?" It's like the fate between us, there is a rule, it's doomed. ”
"Fate, the ...... between us" A few stars flashed in Cheng Xiaorui's head for a while, and after a little reaction, she realized that this was a heartwarming and beautiful love story.
She was overjoyed and very surprised, it turned out that Fang Mowei could also talk about love.
Yes, between them, it's really like an equation, as if there has been a pattern for a long time, and God has arranged it for them a long time ago. From their meeting, acquaintance, acquaintance, to the current love. As for whether they will be able to stay together in the end, it is unknown.
"It's an equation, it's called an equation." Cheng Xiaorui nodded and said, her body couldn't help but slowly lean forward, and her head hit his embrace.
Night, quiet and cool; People, very few; The heart is very warm.
Fang Mowei put his arm around her shoulders, just quietly and cautiously, Cheng Xiaorui was close to him, and his heartbeat was heard very clearly.
Fang Mowei said: "Then it's decided, our puppy is called Equation." ”
"Well, the equation." Cheng Xiaorui smiled while closing her eyes to enjoy this happiness.
The little wolfdog seemed to understand them, and had already gone far away, and when he saw them stop on the side of the road and come back, he circled around them, and his little tail was still cocked into the sky, and he kept wagging it.
Walking home, Fang Mowei and Cheng Xiaorui took a bath and washed their clothes again, and then sat on the fire bucket to bake the fire for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
There are no cars in the countryside, and the deeper the quieter. In addition, Fang Mowei's cleaning up the pond today is also considered hard work, so he also slept very soundly. (To be continued) R580
