Chapter 66: The Yellow River Carp

"The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet me. The water of the waves is turbid, and it can wet my feet. ”

There was a faint chanting sound in my ears.

"Xiao Jie, what do you mean?" Zhiwen asked pitifully, with his poor knowledge of ancient literature, he didn't understand the meaning of these two poems at all.

"It means that no matter whether the river is muddy or clear, you can take a bath and wash your clothes." Xiao Jie laughed, it seemed that he was very happy to take a bath, "Xiao Zhi, won't you leave today?" ”

Zhiwen nodded dumbly, he originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to clean, although he didn't want to wash it now when he looked at the muddy water, but he could "fish", otherwise how to eat fish at night.

"Mother, while there is no one, you take Xiaoying and the others to the river bay over there to take a bath, and we will take the wind." Xiao Jie began to arrange.

"Can you wash it in such muddy water, Xiao Jie?" Zhiwen looked at the back of Xiao Yingniang and the others who turned to leave, and hesitated a little.

Xiao Jie pulled him and Dazhu to the river, and picked up a handful of water with both hands, "It's just some mud and sand, it's not a big deal." ”

The turbid river water was still in Xiao Jie's hands, and the sediment quickly sank to the bottom, and the river water above was quite clear.

"You really don't wash?" The corners of Xiao Jie's mouth hooked up, "Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." ”

"Wash!" Zhiwen gritted his teeth, he really couldn't stand it, he had been a human being for two lifetimes, and it was the first time he hadn't taken a bath for so long, so he didn't talk about the smell, and the lice and fleas on his body should also be cleared.

"Huh? We're not going to wind it! Zhiwen asked, Xiao Jie and Da Zhu had already taken off their clothes.

"What are you afraid of, we are all men, give them wind while washing, and it will be difficult to wash when there are many people later." Xiao Jie was talking, and he had already gotten into the water with Dazhu.

"Poof!" A handful of water fell from the sky, drenching most of Zhiwen's head.

"Hurry up, Xiaozhi, don't grind!" Xiao Jie and Da Zhu shouted as they slapped the water in the river.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhiwen promised, okay, he could get the fish out of the warehouse while bathing in the river, and said that he caught it, and if it was fishing, how to get the fish on the hook was still a problem.

By the time Zhiwen, Xiao Jie and Da Zhu were about to come up from the water, Xiao Yingniang and the girls had already washed and returned, and were washing the dirty clothes they had changed not far away, and there were several other families on the river beach, and one of them had also begun to wash.

Just right, let others have a testimony.

Zhiwen thought in his heart, there was an instant addition to a big fish in his right hand that was still in the river, he buckled the gills of the fish, and with a slight force in his hand, he threw the fish to the shore.

"Whoa!" With a bang, the fish landed on the bank of the river, and it was still jumping around, and Zhiwen only saw clearly now that it was indeed a carp, with a long whisker on the side of its mouth.

Surprisingly large, according to the standards of later generations, Zhiwen is estimated to be one meter long.

"Aunt Song!" Zhiwen shouted, and someone else next to him had already seen it, "The fish I just caught!" ”

"It's really yours, Xiaozhi!" Xiao Jie and Da Zhu, who were still in the water, exclaimed, "Such a big fish! ”

Footsteps sounded, and Nannan, Xiaoying, and Niuniu took the lead in running over, holding down the fish and declaring sovereignty.

Xiao Jie and Da Zhu were stimulated and stopped going ashore, and they were walking around in the water, trying to catch a fish.

Zhiwen went ashore first, changed into a set of clothes that were not so dirty, inhaled in his mouth, and his body was still in pain, there was no soap or soap, and there were no pig pancreas or soaphorns, but he rubbed hard with muddy water, and his whole body was red, and his skin was broken in a few places.

The body is fairly clean, but the hair is mixed with some mud and sand, and it feels like a hand when I scratch it, and it is slightly yellow.

"Brother, how do you get such a big fish?" Nan Nan squatted on the ground and looked at the fish, looked up and asked Zhiwen, this fish has tenacious vitality and is still struggling.

Zhiwen didn't say a word, picked up a stone casually, and looked at the head of the fish, so that the three of them could be freed.

"Scrape the scales first, from the tail to the head." , Zhiwen demonstrated that in northern Shaanxi, everyone rarely eats fish and is not very good at it.

"Cut open the stomach again, don't take out the internal organs, be careful not to break its bitter gall." Zhiwen confessed again, "Wait for the big pillar and they come ashore, ask everyone how they want to eat?" ”

Then he turned and left.

"Where are you going? Elder brother! Nan Nan asked behind her back.

"Dig wild vegetables!" Although ten kilograms of fish is enough for everyone to eat, everyone has not been exposed to meat for a long time, and the stomach can't stand just eating fish, so you have to make some wild vegetable cakes to cushion your stomach, and you still have to go out and pretend to run.

When Zhiwen returned with a basket of yams and alfalfa, he was taken aback by the sight on the river beach.

The river was filled with a crowd of black, busy bathing.

When I got closer, I took a closer look, and bent down from time to time to touch the water with my hands while washing, obviously the fish that Zhiwen caught from the water just now stimulated everyone, and they all wanted to catch a fish up.

Sporadicly, some people really catch a few fish, but it is impossible for Zhiwen to catch such a big one, most of them are palm-slap-sized.

The number is also small, and the few families who caught it are really lucky, the water is so muddy, it is really not easy to catch fish.

But it's good if someone catches it, so the Zhiwen family won't be too obvious.

They moved very fast, and in just a while, the carp, which weighed ten kilograms and was one meter long, was scraped by them, cleaned up the internal organs, and waited to do it.

"Have you thought about it? How to eat? Zhiwen asked, pouring out the contents of the basket.

"Grill and eat!" The crowd replied in unison.

"Okay, listen to you!" Zhiwen nodded, such a big fish, it is not impossible to use other methods, but Zhiwen thought about it, they don't seem to have such a big pot to make this fish, and grilling it is really the best choice at present.

"Eat half a cake for each person first, and then eat the fish!" Zhiwen made a special confession.

"Oh!" Everyone nodded, after a few months of getting along, Zhiwen had already established authority in recuperating his body.

......

At the beginning of night, large and small fires were lit on the river beach on the banks of the Wuding River.

Dazhu found a thick branch, sharpened one end, skewered it from the mouth to the tail, and set it on the fire to roast.

Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product, although it lacks the necessary condiments, only some salt is smeared on the fish, but the rich aroma can't help but spread, and the Zhiwen family who are close at hand can't stand the temptation, and all eyes are staring at the grilled fish, as if the fish will fly in the blink of an eye.

The wild vegetable cake that was prepared earlier was not paid attention to at all at first, but Zhiwen forced it, and everyone barely ate half of it.

From time to time, there was a "grunt" sound around, which was the sound of the Zhiwen family and others swallowing saliva.

"Poof!" A drop of grease made a soft sound on the fire, and the burnt smell overflowed, and everyone couldn't help it anymore.

"Okay?"

"Okay?"

In the constant urging around him, Zhiwen turned over the fish with chopsticks and took a closer look, well, the fish was tender and white.

"Cooked!" As soon as Zhiwen nodded, everyone cheered in unison, and they gathered around to share the food.

"Wait a minute!" Zhiwen quickly opened everyone's hands one by one, took the kitchen knife on the side into his hand, and distributed fish and meat to everyone.

No way, there is no knife, only a kitchen knife.

"I can only eat as much as I share." Zhiwen confessed one by one, "No one can eat more, and there is no medicine if the stomach is bad." ”

Dazhu has the largest amount of rice, and the fish and meat are also the largest, Zhiwen estimates that there are seven or eight taels, and a few little girls only give three or four taels, Xiao Yingniang, Xiao Jie and Zhiwen themselves, can eat five taels.
