16 Songhua River mandarin fish
By the sparkling creek.
Under the gaze of his cousin Wang Meng, there was an uproar~ Wang Yuan quickly caught a big fish.
"Mandarin fish! It's a mandarin fish!! ”
When Wang Meng saw the black back and the black spots on the fish, he immediately shouted with joy.
The big mandarin fish weighed 5 catties, which was indeed extremely rare, and Wang Yuan was also very happy when he saw it.
Tie up the big fish with the bowfish method, spread some grass in the bamboo basket, put the big fish in it, cover it with a layer of grass, sprinkle some water, and then Wang Yuan and his cousin Wang Meng continue fishing.
Another cousin, Wang Hu, is not at home, otherwise the three of them would be fishing faster.
Some villagers came to the river with clothes to wash, Wang Yuan and Wang Meng also said hello, and the two caught more than 30 big fish in one morning, including 5 mandarin fish in the Songhua River.
The two left the river with bamboo baskets on their backs, but instead of going home, they walked to the north of the village and soon came to three new houses.
The new houses are also thatched houses, and there is a yard outside, and the soil in the yard is relatively new.
Squeak~
Wang Yuan opened a fence gate and walked to the large water tank in the courtyard: "Keep all the mandarin fish, and put the other carp, grass carp, etc. into the water tank."
"Good, good."
Untie the rope and put the wild big fish into the water tank, and the water splashed for a while.
"Brother, your small courtyard is really good, when will we marry a sister-in-law back?" Wang Meng said with a grin.
"Yo he~ You still dare to joke with me? Hey, don't dare. "Wang Meng is usually a little boring, but occasionally he talks a little too much, especially when Wang Hu is not there.
Wang Hu is just a broken mouth, and when he is there, no one else has the opportunity to talk much.
"My father can say it, this year he will ask someone to tell me his daughter-in-law, brother, don't catch up behind me, otherwise your child will be younger than my child in the future."
"Go, go~"
This small courtyard is Wang Yuan's, there is no one living now, and I will live here with my wife when I get married in the future, 3 thatched houses and a huge courtyard, all kinds of vegetables, raising chickens and ducks are very convenient.
On the left of this thatched house is Wang Meng's house, on the right is Wang Hu's house, and the three houses were built last year.
Wang Jiawa's side, after the boy gets married, he will go out to live alone, one is that the original house is small and cannot accommodate so many people, especially after having children, it will be very crowded, and the other is that he cooks by himself, and he can also reduce a lot of contradictions - living together every day is especially prone to contradictions.
After putting away the other fish, the two left the small courtyard with bamboo baskets on their backs, clicked ~ After plugging in the fence door, the two walked home side by side.
Towards noon, the sun warmed up.
Some villagers came back from the fields outside the village with shovels or hoes, and Wang Yuan also greeted them with a smile.
In the countryside, diligent people really have endless farm work, such as weeding - it takes nearly a month to weed all the fields, and after the weeding, weeds grow on the land that was weed at the beginning.
Especially after the rain, the seedlings grow very slowly, but the weeds grow quickly.
"5 Songhua River mandarin fish, 1 for each family, and I will take the remaining two to the city to sell for money, and I will give you the money when the time comes."
"Cents? Someone in the city buys this thing. Wang Meng said curiously.
"Well, I met a wealthy family who wanted to buy mandarin fish to eat."
Although Wang Hu didn't come to fish, Wang Yuan still brought a mandarin fish to his family, the third aunt was very happy, and the little girl Xiaohua called out "brother" sweetly.
Wang Yuan touched the little girl, said goodbye to the third aunt and returned to his house.
At noon, Wang Yuan's family also stewed a big mandarin fish, goo-goo-goo~ The fish in the pot was stewed, sprinkled with coriander (yansui), green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., and the fragrance became stronger in an instant.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, drooling greedily.
Mother Wang carefully turned the fish over with a shovel and shouted, "Xiaoyuan will go and bring some firewood in."
"Okay, I'll go and hug it."
Wang Yuan rolled up his sleeves and walked out, perhaps because of his rebirth, his strength became greater and greater, but he also became more and more hungry.
Smelling the aroma of fish, saliva can't help but speed up the secretion.
The little girl stood by the pot and said curiously: "Ma Ma, is the fish cooked?"
"Almost, I'll give you a piece to taste."
Mother Wang sandwiched a piece of fish, dipped it in the soy sauce-colored soup, and then cooled it a little, and then put it in the little girl's mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Wang's mother looked forward to it.
"Uh-huh, delicious!"
The little girl's eyes lit up, and her fleshy little face was full of smiles.
Suddenly, there was a shouting and scolding from Wang Yuan outside, and Wang's mother hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"There's a big scorpion hidden under the firewood that almost stung me." Wang Yuan held some small firewood in both hands and looked at the big scorpion on the ground and said.
The large scorpion is probably 7~8 cm long, the back is grayish-brown, and the curved tail and legs are yellow.
Looking at his sharp tail needle Wang Yuan shuddered, if he was stung suddenly, I am afraid that he would be in pain for several days and would not be able to sleep.
"Go get a bottle and go to the bar."
"Okay, I'll get it." The little girl volunteered.
Using two wooden sticks as chopsticks, he grabbed the big scorpion and stuffed it into a wine bottle, watching the latter swim in the liquor.
Carrying the wine bottle back to the house and putting it in the corner, maybe it will be useful in the future, Wang Yuan doesn't understand it very well.
After a while, Wang's father and eldest sister Wang Qing came back, and the family washed their hands and ate, and the eldest sister Wang Qing brought back a lot of wild vegetable leaves, which were intended to be fed to the rabbits.
In the northwest corner of the yard circled a small nest, the rabbit that Wang Yuan caught back last time was put in it to raise, recently the bear meat has not been eaten, do not rush to eat the rabbit.
The fish is very fragrant and tender, a bite of steamed buns, a bite of fish, and a bite of bear meat, full of happiness!
There is a big difference between mandarin fish and carp, carp has a lot of small spines and fine spines, and it is easy to get stuck in the throat if you eat too quickly, and it is likely that soaking in vinegar and swallowing with steamed buns will probably not help.
Mandarin fish, on the other hand, has only one main spine and some large spines around it, which can be eaten with the meat between them, which is very good.
After eating, Wang Yuan cleaned up the table with his mother and sister Wang Qing, and then left the house with a shotgun.
The little girl was squatting in the yard feeding the rabbits, and watching the rabbit's three-petal mouth chew on the leaves, she felt very interesting.
Seeing that Wang Yuan seemed to be going up the mountain, the little girl hurriedly followed out with her little short legs.
"Second brother, are you going hunting? Take me with you. ”
"What am I taking you for? Go go, go back and take a nap. ”
"Oh~ good second brother, you just take me with you, let's go pick wildflowers."
……
In the end, Wang Yuan still didn't resist the little girl, put her on his shoulder, and then walked towards the mountain with a shotgun, he wanted to see if the previous clip had caught the prey.
