76 Unexpected harvest after the rain
The big tree and the wooden wind looked at the pouring rain, thinking that it was raining heavily, and there was no need to do anything, so they squeezed into the cave and slept for a while.
A torrential rain rained for an hour, and by dawn the rain had subsided, and the weather had become very cool.
Thinking of the heavy rain in the early morning, Yao Xiaoqing was worried about the flash flood and said to Yao Hu; "Father, I'll go down the mountain to see if the water in the ditch has spilled into the clearing."
Yaohu stopped her, "It's still raining, you wait at home, Father and Uncle Dashi will take a look." ”
"Okay!." Yao Xiaoqing watched a few people rush into the rain and fog, and then thought of forgetting to get a few straw hats to protect them from the sun and rain.
Yaohu took the big stone and they went down the mountain, and went to the inlet under the wall at the foot of the mountain to take a look, the water potential was indeed much larger, and the water that came up was still some distance from the bottom of the wall.
Further down, I found that the water in several ponds had overflowed to the outside, and there were large fish swimming around in the ditch.
When they walked to the fence under the wall near the river, they heard the fish rattling the water in the ditch.
Yaohu looked at the big fish in the ditch and said, "It seems that those small fish have drilled out of the gap in the fence, and the big fish are blocked by the fence." ”
Dashi pointed to a group of big cyan fish four or five feet long and laughed, "Haha! Look at that big fish, I'll go down and catch it, get it back and chop the fish balls and eat it. ”
The bull shouted, "Hold on first, and I'll go back and get the net." ”
Yaohu smiled and waved, "Go!" By the way, take a basket down. ”
The bull nodded and ran up the hill, and the big stone and the spear jumped into the ditch with a smile, and the two of them saw the target, opened their five claws, and grabbed a big blue fish with a fierce blow.
The big herring struggled desperately in the water, splashing everywhere, splashing all over the faces of the two of them, and the two laughed, grabbed and threw them to the shore.
After a while, he caught a few big fish and threw them on the shore.
Yaohu saw that they were catching lively, and he also jumped down, and three big men fluttered in the ditch.
Yao Xiaoqing, the bull, the bull, and the wooden wind carried the basket and took the net and the fish cage to the ditch. She looked at the big fish on the shore and felt that the big ones weighed at least ten or twenty pounds.
This fish is not the same species as the one caught in the pond a few days ago, so let's say it looks like grass carp, and the color is a little different.
Let's say it's like a big herring in the river! Looking closely, she felt that it was still a little different, and she thought that maybe the time for evolution was not enough, and it would be different to look at it.
Mu Feng and Yu put the fish cage down at the water outlet, went ashore and grabbed a big herring four or five feet long, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, the largest pond must be very deep, and these big fish must be hiding under the water, so we haven't caught them." ”
"It should be, this fish must taste good when you get it back and chop fish balls."
Yao Xiaoqing said, suddenly thought of sauerkraut fish, and thought of going back to pickle a jar of sauerkraut with the kind of wild vegetables that Shan Eminem and the others had just found, which was a little similar to Xiaoqingcai, and when the peppers were red, they could cook sauerkraut fish.
There are also taro, taro stalks in the field, so much, go and cut some taro stalks later, dry some, pickle some, and add vegetables when there are no vegetables in winter.
Mu Feng and the bull also jumped into the ditch and began to catch fish, and after about an hour, they caught all the big fish in the ditch.
After counting, there were twenty or thirty, the small ones were more than ten catties, and the big ones were at least more than twenty catties. Loaded into two baskets respectively, several people carried them back.
The rain stopped, and the sun came out through the clouds. Mu Feng pointed to the sky and shouted, "Xiaoqing, look." ”
Yao Xiaoqing looked up and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky, "What a beautiful rainbow." ”
Dashi said to Yaohu: "Chief, set off tomorrow, the Colorful Long Bridge is a good sign." ”
Yaohu smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's a good sign." ”
Everyone put down the basket and looked at the rainbow quietly, making a sound of admiration from time to time, until the rainbow dispersed, and then lifted the basket and walked back.
The people on the hill laughed happily when they saw the two big baskets of fish they had brought back.
Worm Bo smiled: "There are also two fish cages, and they will be released into the river later." ”
Yun Amu smiled after hearing this: "Three fish cages can get a lot of food, and the sun-dried river shrimp are filled with two large cans, and those dried fish, the shelves are full. ”
Leopard Eminem laughed after hearing this, "Ah Yun, you still have too much food in store!" ”
"Both bamboo huts are full of food, and I'm worried that there won't be a place to put it." Yun Emu felt that there were too many things and there was no place to put them, which was also a sweet burden.
Yaohu waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, when we move down the mountain, no matter how much food we have, there will be a place to put it." ”
"Breakfast is ready, everyone hurry up and eat." Shan Eminem and they have already made breakfast, deer bone and wild vegetable soup, leek and kudzu root powder.
I couldn't go out to hunt on a rainy day, and I unexpectedly caught two baskets of big fish, and a group of people happily sat around and had breakfast.
Mu Ya and Big Eminem hide in the cave and are nowhere to be seen. No one told them to eat food, so the three of Muba evened out a piece of their cake for the two of them.
Mu Ya took the cake without saying a word and took a bite of it.
Muba shoved the bread into their hands, turned and walked out.
When the men had eaten their fill, they wiped their mouths, took their tools, and went down to work.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan Amu: "Eminem, you wash the vegetables you picked back yesterday at home and hang them on the fence to dry. ”
"Do I plant some in the ground and wash the rest?" Shanami said.
"That's right, Eminem, don't pick all the good wild vegetables you find in the future, leave some and wait for it to bear fruit, collect it and plant it yourself."
Everyone nodded, "We got it." ”
Yao Xiaoqing told Hua a few words, took a few taro and a few Su, and went down the mountain to cut the taro pole with a bamboo knife and a basket.
Hua and Shan Eminem went into the cave to fetch rattan, and saw Mu Ya and Big Eminem sitting there eating cakes.
The two came out with rattans, and Shan Amu sneered: "I'm not from the Yaoshan tribe anymore, and I'm embarrassed to eat the food of the Yaoshan tribe." ”
Hua persuaded: "Eminem, Xiaoqing knows, she said that for the sake of Muba's face, don't pay attention to them." Let's take care of the things in the yard and don't let them go down. ”
Leopard Eminem smiled and said, "Let me tell you, when they regret it in the future, I don't know about the Great Witch Tribe?" My grandmother is from the Dawu tribe, and like Yaoshan, she has to go out to collect food every day, and if she is not careful, she will be beaten. ”
Hua smiled, "Whatever!" It's all self-inflicted, and I can't blame anyone! ”
Mu Ya stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to the women washing dishes by the sink talking about her, and was so angry that she almost rushed over to reason with them.
Big Eminem hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her back, and scolded in a low voice: "You are still going to provoke them, do you want to have no food to eat all day today?" ”
Mu Ya remembered how hungry she felt last night, so she had to bow her head and follow her back.
They killed the fish, and the fat of the fish was punctured and skewered to dry. Fish intestines and fish livers are filled with a full basin.
Leave one large fish to chop into puree and set aside, while the rest is salted in a wooden barrel.
