The big rock that Meng Tao squatted on was in a deep water area, and she deliberately did it.

Yesterday in the drying field, Zhou Cuiling said, "Why did the wild boar go to you", which reminded Meng Tao and pondered carefully: The wild boar may not have come specifically at her, but it may have appeared because of her.

The problem lies in the boiling water brought by Meng Tao, which is mixed with space pine needle dewdrops, the day before yesterday when Meng Tao and the others drank it, they were very careful and did not let the boiling water drip to the ground, but yesterday under the pear tree, Yu Xiaomin and Zhou Cuimei took the kettle to drink water, and each splashed some.

When they saw the boar, the boar was messing up the wood and dirt under the pear tree, and was still chewing on weeds, and the same place where they stood when they drank water.

So, the wild boar is actually attracted by the dew drops of space pine needles, right?

In order to confirm this speculation, Meng Tao decided to do an experiment today.

Last night's bamboo basket containing cabbage and greens, there were three or two vegetable stems and leaves at the bottom, Meng Tao soaked it with pine needles and dewdrops, and still put it back at the bottom of the basket, at this time, the basket slowly sank to a stone at the bottom of the water, the new bamboo basket is very heavy, the draft, the water flow is not urgent, it will not float generally, Meng Tao paid attention to it while washing clothes, and watched for a while There was no movement, and the big and small fish did not come.

She ignored it for the time being, carefully brushed her shoes, and looked at the two shoes again, her eyes widened: a bamboo basket of big fish and small fish, competing for the vegetable stalks at the bottom of the basket!

Meng Tao gently put down his shoes, leaned over and grabbed the handle of the basket with both hands, and lifted it vigorously - the fish were so elf-most of them ran away, and in the end there were six or seven left, jumping around at the bottom of the basket.

Meng Tao shouted to Qian Xiaoyun: "Come on, I have caught a fish!" ”

Qian Xiaoyun hurriedly ran over on tiptoe, and was stunned: "Oh my God, big fish!" How did you get it? ”

Meng Tao said with a smile: "I put the basket down and soaked it, there were broken vegetable stalks at the bottom of the basket, these fish ran in to eat, I quickly picked it up with my hand, and I caught it without thinking about it." ”

Qian Xiaoyun counted the fish in the basket: "Two big grass carp, each weighing three catties, these small ones are crucian carp, and there are small white fish...... Gee! Peach Blossom, you're so lucky! Make fresh fish soup at night, and give me a bowl too, right? ”

"Of course, those who see it have a share, and everyone eats together."

"Ahh Meat again! Qian Xiaoyun smiled from ear to ear.

Meng Tao ran to the shore and folded two thin soft tree sticks, skewered the fish into large and small sizes, and then put them in the shallow water nest to raise.

When he turned around, he saw Qian Xiaoyun put the bamboo basket into the water again, and made a silent gesture towards Meng Tao, and said in a low voice: "There are also vegetable stalks, let me try it too!" ”

After speaking, she went to move her clothes over, and washed them on the side, Meng Tao said: "You are too close, the shadows are thrown into the water, how dare the fish come?" When you get here, glance at it from time to time, and then go over if there are any fish. ”

Qian Xiaoyun obeyed, the two of them were scrubbing on the other side of the big stone, their movements were as light as possible, and suddenly, Qian Xiaoyun leaned over there suddenly, lifted the basket hard, and shouted excitedly: "Caught it, caught it!" I caught a fish too! ”

Meng Tao looked at it, good guy, she caught a big fish and a lot of small fish, and the big fish was as big as the one she caught just now, weighing about three or four catties.

The vegetable stalk was swallowed by the big fish, and Qian Xiaoyun was also satisfied and did not continue, but Meng Tao was a little worried that she would use the vegetable stalk and leaves to trap the fish in the future, which would be disappointing.

Meng Tao ran to the shore again and folded the soft branches, and skewered the fish with Qian Xiaoyun, saying, "I didn't expect to be able to catch fish like this, I have never tried it before." ”

Qian Xiaoyun chuckled: "It's useless to try, how can it be so easy?" I know why I was so lucky today, because yesterday this basket was taken by Xu Guoliang and them to fill the meat, and then the vegetable stalk fell into it and smelled of wild boar, so the fish came! ”

Meng Tao: "......"

She only learned today that the fish also had a hunger for wild boar.

"You said earlier, this basket has been filled with meat, and it smells fishy, so how can you pack clothes?"

"It's not to the river, just brush it with a brush...... Eh, let's put our clothes together, and we'll use this basket for fish later! ”

Meng Tao was speechless, okay, you have the final say on everything.

Qian Xiaoyun was in a good mood, vigorously brushed the laundry, Leng was one step ahead of Meng Tao to wash the clothes, and then regardless of the hamstring sprain, he walked to the shore to pull some branches and weeds back and put them in the basket, and then put the fish in it, and covered it with a layer of grass blades to prevent being seen.

After Meng Tao finished washing, he picked up two baskets and went home.

Halfway through, Meng Tao told Qian Xiaoyun that she was going to take a big fish to Zhou's house later, and Aunt Yang would make bacon for her, she always had to thank her, Qian Xiaoyun nodded and said that this was as it should be, and Meng Tao said that she would enter the city tomorrow and might come back in a few days.

Qian Xiaoyun asked in surprise: "Didn't you just come back from the city not long ago, what are you going to do?" ”

Meng Tao said the reason, and Qian Xiaoyun was envious: "You're fine, you can often go out to play for a few days, but it's a pity that I don't have such good things." ”

After returning home to dry their clothes, the two closed the courtyard door, scooped up a basin of water to deal with the fish together, first picked a big fish and waited for Meng Tao to take it to Zhou's house, and then cut the other two big fish into pieces, pickled them with salt, and then made braised fish at night, and everyone came back and had a good meal.

After the other small fish are cleaned, they are placed on the dustpan to dry, and there is an ember in the stove after cooking at night, and then slowly bake and dry, so that they can stay for a long time.

At noon, the two cooked two bowls of fresh fish soup with three Xiaoqing fish, and then spread two corn tortillas for lunch, and Meng Tao went to Zhou's house with the basket.

Aunt Yang was not at home, Zhou Cuiling took her three younger brothers to lunch, the four sisters and brothers beckoned Meng Tao to sit down and eat together, Meng Tao replied that she had eaten, and went to the hall to pour boiling water to drink, Qian Xiaoyun put a little too much salt in the fish soup, and it was salty.

When Zhou Cuiling came over after eating, and her three younger brothers also went out, Meng Tao took out the fish from the basket and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the three of them will see it, and they will always want to go to the river to catch fish in the future, and it will be dangerous when the weather is cold." To cook fish at night, you just say that you bought it from the commune food store. ”

Zhou Cuiling was surprised: "Could it be that this fish or did you catch it from the river?" ”

"Of course, if you don't believe it, ask Qian Xiaoyun, this is what we fished this morning, we washed clothes by the river, and sank the basket into the water, there were some broken vegetable leaves in the basket, and the fish got into it to eat, and we caught it, big fish and small fish, and caught several."

"Oh my God! You're amazing, too, but I think it's your luck. Really peach blossom, you are starting to have good luck, my mother said: some people are like this, bad luck comes to the end, suddenly good luck is coming to an end, and the days are getting better and better! ”

"Thank you for your auspicious words, you little superstition." Meng Tao said with a smile.

"It's not superstition, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Cuiling giggled, and took the grass carp: "Such a big one is for our family, what about you?" ”

"Also, this is specially used to thank Aunt Yang, she helped me make bacon."

"Okay, then we'll touch your Aunt Yang's light, and there will be fish to eat at night!"

Zhou Cuiling was happy to take the fish into the cupboard, Meng Tao told her that she was going to the regional city tomorrow, Zhou Cuiling looked at her: "Look at you, you will go when you say you, and you don't wait for me!" ”

"I don't know if I have this free time, Uncle Bao doesn't want me to follow me up the mountain, let me rest at home, I think I'm idle anyway, Uncle Liu in Pingjiang City once asked me to help him do something, then take advantage of this time, otherwise it will snow in a few days, and it will be too cold to go out."

Zhou Cuiling sighed helplessly, she wanted to go into the city with Meng Tao, but she still had to go to work, and at the end of the year, it was difficult to ask for leave.
