Chapter 5: Winning the First Battle and Catching a Fish
Xue saw that she had already put on all the clothes she could wear, but she was still so cold that she couldn't help coughing a few times, and when she looked up and saw Zhou Bo frowning, she hurriedly said, "I'm not cold, it's just ...... Ahem, choked on the wind. ”
Half an hour later, the group easily walked around the ice behind Daqing Mountain.
Xue Jian asked Zhou Jinsheng to take out the ice file, find the freezing point and say, "Uncle Zhou, you are starting to look down in this position." ”
Zhou Dahu and Tuesday Tiger were in a group, learning from Zhou Jinsheng's example, and found another place to look down.
Zhou Bo and Rokuro are in charge of the hand.
Although everyone was clumsy, they safely smashed open the ice eye, took out two fishing nets borrowed from the neighbor's house from the basket and lowered them into the water, which took another hour of effort.
"Big brother, can you really do what you said?" Rokuro asked curiously.
Zhou Bo glanced at Xue Jian and said lightly, "Let's see it in the afternoon." ”
The second tiger also turned around the eyes he had just beaten, and turned around and asked, "Young Master, are we just waiting here?" ”
Zhou Bo only said two words, "Go up the mountain!" ”
After getting off the net, everyone left the ice, pulled the ice bed and followed Zhou Jinsheng up the mountain, and before halfway up the mountain, there was a dense forest, and the snow stopped.
"I can't walk." Yukimi gasped and said that he really couldn't walk.
"Erhu, you stay and take care of Yukimi." Zhou Bo said with a frown.
Futachi was reluctantly left behind to take care of Yukimi.
The others took the leopard and plunged into the woods.
"Big young master," Yukimi couldn't help but shout.
Hearing her scream, Zhou Bo returned, looked at her and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll go for two hours." ”
Zhou Bo went to the ice bed again and took the penny girl down and handed it to Xue Jian: "Take this." With that, he walked towards the two people who were waiting for him.
Xue Jian knew that they would not go deep into the woods, because there were wolves in winter, this was something that everyone on the earth knew, and Zhou Bo would definitely not stay too far away from them, so as not to take care of them.
For nearly two hours, Zhou Bo and they actually returned with a full load, really full (because Zhou Bo had never hit so many before), there was a pheasant and three hares, and Liulang's little face was so happy that he couldn't find the feeling of the north.
Xue saw that he looked at the pheasant and the hare, and his eyes narrowed with joy, "The third young master is really amazing!" I didn't hunt so much prey before, just because there was no third young master to follow, and the third young master was a lucky hunting star! ”
Saburo was praised by her and laughed, but still smiled and said, "This hare was caught by a leopard." ”
Tuesday Tiger was even more proud than them, pointing to the three bundles of firewood and saying, "Look, we didn't rest in vain, so we picked up so much firewood nearby." "There are many people who burn the fire to cook and burn the fire, and naturally use more firewood, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, in this winter, firewood is more important than rice.
At this time, the leopard jumped behind the pyre and took out a roe deer.
Seeing Zhou Bo's stunned appearance, the tiger rushed to say, "This is not caught by a leopard, this is when we were collecting firewood, I accidentally fell into a snow pit, and I was calling Xuejian to help, just so coincidentally, a stupid roe deer also fell in, it really scared me silly at the time, just when Xuejian arrived, he didn't say a word, he raised his stick with round eyes and killed the roe deer directly." I climbed up, and Xue saw that she was still beating there, do you think she is more stupid than a stupid roe deer? Haha......"
He said it with great interest, Zhou Bo's face turned white with fright, and he grabbed Xue Jian to look up and down, "You, are you okay......"
Xue saw that her face turned red, and she whispered: "They all say stupid roe deer, stupid roe deer, are you stupid too?" ”
The roe deer, rabbit and pheasant were put in the back basket, and the three bundles of firewood were placed in the "ice bed tail", and everyone happily went down the mountain to return to the Daqing River.
Yukimi let the leopard slip along the ice and sniff, and the leopard barked near where everyone had marked. Yukimi pointed to the location and said, "Look, this is the location of that float on the Internet." ”
Zhou Bo immediately instructed the big tiger and the two tigers to use ice files to file the ice surface from the mark to the middle of the float little by little, and everyone took the incompetent guy in their hands and shoveled the ice, so that after a while, a small crack in the ice was exposed.
"It's so heavy!" The big tiger tried to pull the net with one hand, but he didn't pull it up at all.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Erhu hurriedly stepped up to help: "Really? Ah, Dad, come on, it's really heavy! ”
Everyone worked together to pull up the fishing net, which was not very big, and when they saw the fish still jumping alive, everyone was stunned at first, and then cheered together. Good guy, it looks like it's about seven or eight pounds.
Zhou Bo also smiled happily, listening to Xue Jian's words, firstly, because the family really can't open the pot, it's always good to try your luck; Second, it's much better to take Yukimi out for a stroll and have fun than to be bored at home. The few small ones at home were afraid that their squeamish physique would not be able to stand it because the weather was too cold, so they didn't dare to bring them out. The skinniest people in the family are Wu Niang and Liulang, and they are not very gregarious with the children in the village, so they have long been suffocated.
Yukimi urged everyone, "Hurry, hurry, quickly pour the fish out of the net." Xue saw that he was in a hurry, and threw two or three catties of fish back into the water, and the fish that fell on the ice was frozen in less than a moment.
This time, I had experience, and I used the same method to get the second fishing net, and there were four or five big fish, two of which seemed to be more than ten catties.
I haven't eaten fish for a few months, and the young masters and ladies who used to eat and pick and choose are now all braised fish, steamed fish, boiled fish, and sauced fish, and their saliva is about to come down.
Tuesday Tiger asked, "Yukimi, why did you throw those fish back into the water just now?" It's hard to get it. ”
Yukimi smiled: "It's cold and the river is freezing, and the fish don't have anything to eat, most of them lie in the water and don't move, so the growth and development is slower than usual. ”
Tuesday Tiger didn't seem to understand, but Zhou Bo took a deep look at Xue Jian, but didn't say anything.
In a good mood and high spirits, when he came back, the leopard refused to sit on the ice bed, ran in front, and followed the ice road of the Daqing River, faster than when he came, and returned home.
In winter, the days are short, and although the back and forth is much faster than expected, the sky is still a little dark.
The family is eating, it is nothing more than three meals and two meals, the children are gulping thin soup, the tutor is good, and no one is silent.
Erniang sighed, wondering if she could find something to take away tomorrow. It's really like Yukimi said, when there is nothing to do, it's going to be the New Year, and the mood is really not beautiful.
Du Hai didn't follow him for dinner, and kept waiting at the gate.
Hearing the sound of the second door, Erniang didn't even put on her coat, so she ran out.
She understands her brother's thoughts, this is to take Yukimi and Rokuro out to let off steam, how can there really be anything to bring back, but it's just to coax the child.
She feels sorry for her younger brothers and sisters, and she also feels sorry for her brother, this is the eldest son of a serious young master, and now for the sake of more than a dozen people of this size, they are about to become countrymen.
At first glance, when she saw a few baskets full of things on the ice bed, Erniang was stunned: "This, this, all ......"
Several children also rushed out when they heard the sound, and the courtyard was very lively for a while.
"There are hares, three!" Qi Niang loves rabbit meat the most.
Over there, Hachiro and his younger siblings were counting fish: "One, two,...... Fifteen of a kind! ”
"Go, go, go back to the house, it's so cold, and you're running outside." Erniang wanted to put on a straight face, but she couldn't pretend to be like it, and the smile on the corner of her lips couldn't be hidden.
Although the sound was reduced as much as possible, when I returned to my house, the yard was big and there were no neighbors around, so I was inevitably happy.
On Tuesday, Tiger and Rokuro rushed to perform gong on her, and Du Hai helped them move their things.
Zhou's mother and Du's mother first froze all kinds of game and fish in the snowdrift in the corner of the courtyard, and then locked the courtyard door and entered the house to eat.
Thinking that tomorrow we will be able to eat meat and fish, no one can eat the gruel in the bowl.
I really couldn't bear the children's eyes, Xue saw that she picked out two fish with a minimum of about six catties with her hands and feet, first instructed Zhou's mother to cut the scales and marinate them with simple condiments, and then asked Du Ma to heat the oil, put in ginger slices and garlic to stir-fry, put the fish in and fry it slightly on both sides, and then cut half of the pork skin bought two days ago, add water and sauce and simmer. It's really inconvenient to have no soy sauce.
Half an hour later, everyone sat down at the long table again, and it was rare to see the meat, two big fish of five or six catties, divided into several plates, but after a while, the effort was finished, and even the people had a share, and the fish soup was eaten all the time.
The Zhou family has many rules, and no one speaks, but as soon as they finished eating, they couldn't help but be lively.
Zhou Dahu, who usually doesn't like to talk, told everyone about ice net fishing, Liulang immediately rushed to talk about forest hunting, and the tiger was even more proud, that big stupid roe deer was his and Xuemi's masterpiece.
Yukimi even joked, saying that the next time I see a pheasant, the best way is to throw my hat into the sky and catch the pheasant. Everyone laughed even more when they heard this.
The family laughed and laughed around the oil lamp, Zhou Bo saw this rare lively atmosphere, and then looked at Xuejian, who was in a strong spirit, and couldn't help but raise his face and say: "It's too late, there will be work tomorrow, let's disperse." "That's it.
