In the blink of an eye, most of February has passed.

After a few yellow winds, the weather finally warmed up. Only a little bit of snow was left under the cliff, and the willow trees on the edge of the ditch at the head of the village were also glowing green.

In the Dongla River, the ice that had been condensed all winter began to melt, forming a spring news on a large scale.

In three or two days, the river was more than twice as wide as usual.

Rolling and cloudy.

When Wang Manyin was fetching water from the well by the river, he quietly put hundreds of fish into the river, weighing almost hundreds of catties.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to directly enlarge the carp, but chose the more common crucian carp, loach, wheat ears, green shrimp, etc......

Let's take a wave for the time being and see the effect.

Now that the space pond is full of fish, putting 100 catties of trash fish at a time, Wang Manyin will naturally not feel distressed.

The results are surprisingly good!

When he went to work the next day, he heard someone in the second team talking about it.

Yesterday, Wang Xiugang's mother-in-law and aunt went to the river to wash clothes, and accidentally found a lot of rare things in the water. With curiosity, the other party caught a few with a basin and went back.

Many idlers in the village came to see the excitement, but they immediately recognized that it was fish growing in the river.

What kind of fish exactly, no one knows.

It wasn't until Wang Shouchang saw it that he said in an extremely certain tone that it was crucian carp, which is a good thing and can be fried or stewed.

Before the liberation, he helped cook in the county restaurant, and he was also a well-informed and capable person, and the villagers naturally believed what he said.

In just one day, almost everyone knew that crucian carp had been found in the Dongla River. They came to Wang Xiugang's house one after another, and looked strange around the bucket.

Even Orchid was no exception, and when she got the news, she deliberately locked the door and ran to the village.

She had seen fish drawings in textbooks, but it was the first time that a real fish was live.

When Wang Manyin came home from work at noon, it was rare for orchids to talk about...... I seem to have seen something amazing.

As for the male intellectuals who got the news, they didn't even bother to eat lunch.

After confirming that there were really fish in the Dongla River, they were not afraid of the low water temperature, so they rolled up their trousers and carried wattle baskets down to the river to find out.

Although the Dongla River is more than twice as wide as it used to be, it is not deep in most places, barely knee-deep. Coupled with the murky water, most of the fish are constantly floating on the surface to breathe, so it is easy to catch.

The results are quite good.

In one noon day, the educated youths caught seven or eight large carp, more than a dozen loaches and a lot of small miscellaneous fish.

In order to catch more fish, several people simply took a group leave in the afternoon.

When it was almost dark, Liu Xiangyang and others returned to the village with most of the bucket of fish.

At this moment, the entire jar village was in a sensation.

For the first time, many villagers knew that there were so many fish in the Dongla River.

In previous discussions, it has been confirmed that many people have indeed seen fish swimming in the river. However, those fish are generally small and rarely seen.

Therefore, no one thought to catch and eat either.

Seeing such a great harvest from the educated youth, many villagers were of course moved.

At night, an enticing aroma wafts outside the cave where Liu Xiangyang and others live. With the night wind, it spreads almost to the entire village.

More than ten catties of fish were fried on top, and a large pot was filled. Incidentally, they almost used up a month's worth of cooking fuel.

The choking aroma almost made the broken babies in the village cry.

The educated youths were very generous and gave each child a piece of fried fish.

It's just that Liu Xiangyang and others didn't expect that they did bad things with good intentions...... Almost all broken babies are eating fish for the first time, and they don't know that there are spines.

In addition, the educated youths did not explain, so they took the fish pieces and devoured them, and they were pricked to their throats by fish bones.

One by one, they were so frightened that they cried wildly, and soon alarmed several adults living around the brigade headquarters.

In a few minutes, the whole village knew.

The villagers, who had never seen the world, were also frightened and panicked, and did not know what to do at all.

There are also people who whisper that the fish is poisonous, and it is the educated youths who want to harm the broken babies in the village.

The last group of emotional villagers rushed to the brigade headquarters to find Liu Xiangyang and others to ask for explanations.

For a time, there was chaos in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters, and even Wang Manchu was alarmed.

Such a result was not expected by the educated youth.

Even Wang Manyin, the initiator, was almost stupid...... I didn't think it through, and made the mistake of being empirically (not a typo), completely ignoring that most of the people in the village had never eaten fish.

In later generations, if you are stuck in your throat by a fish bone, most of them go to the hospital to have a doctor take it. The safest way now is, of course, to drive the donkey cart to take the broken babies to the commune health center.

Before he could say anything, Wang Shouchang, who rushed to hear the news, had already said to everyone: "It's okay, the educated youth didn't hurt the babies." Don't be afraid, everyone will bring the baby back. Drink some aged vinegar to soak the fish bones. If it doesn't work, gnaw on another nest, and you'll definitely be able to swallow it......"

Wang Manyin naturally knew about this local method, but he had read on the Internet that experts had said that "drinking vinegar is useless", so he was a little hesitant to stop it.

However, after hearing this, the adults of the families seemed to have a panacea, and they took their children home one after another.

Not to mention, it really works.

After some tossing, the children jumped and played with each other like no one. I also said that the fish was so fragrant, I ate it too fast just now, and I didn't taste it.

When the parents saw this, they were embarrassed to compensate the educated youth.

Why so many fish suddenly appeared in the Dongla River, no one in Jar Village can explain.

Many old people even whispered in private that the sky might change. After being reprimanded severely by Wang Manchu when he found out, they shut up.

Soon, the intellectuals had already given a "reasonable" explanation based on the map.

"The lower reaches of the Dongla River flow into the Wuding River, and the Wuding River connects to the Yellow River. It is now the spring flood of the Yellow River, and these fish should swim all the way down the Wuding River into the Dongla River. ”

There is nothing wrong with this explanation, but it saves Wang Manyin a lot of money.

Although they were pricked by fish bones, the taste of fried fish still made many broken babies unforgettable.

In the next two days, they continued to search for the river, and also learned from those educated youths to bring their own wattle baskets and dung baskets.

There seem to be a lot of fish in the river.

These children are busy for half a day, and they can catch a few.

However, after they took the fish back, the adults were reluctant to fry it in oil, and most of them were cooked directly under the stove when cooking.

With the previous experience, these broken babies are a lot more careful when eating fish. Even if it is pricked occasionally, it can be solved by drinking old vinegar.

There are fish in the Dongla River, and they can be eaten...... In just one week, the news has reached Shuangshui Village and Ishikawa Village.

At first, it was just a group of broken babies joining in the fun, and soon some villagers joined in the fishing ranks.

Anyway, these fish are also considered meat, which is much better than eating wild vegetables and gnawing on black nests. As for the thorns in the fish, just be careful when eating it.

Seeing that the people in the village went to catch fish on the river after work, Wang Manyin also followed the trend to "join in the fun". In order to be able to let Orchid eat a meal of fish openly, he also fought hard.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he quietly entered the space.

When he returned home, Wang Manyin caught seven or eight crucian carp and more than ten loaches.

"Full silver, so much?"

Seeing his man returning with a bucket full of water, Orchid was also very excited.

"Well, I didn't pay attention to it before, but there are really a lot of fish in the Dongla River. I was lucky enough to find a shallow puddle where the fish were outcropping. Let's make crucian carp soup at night, and in the afternoon you go back to your parents' house and call Shaoping and Lanxiang to try it. Wang Manyin admonished again.

As for the old father-in-law...... It's useless to shout, they definitely won't come.

Orchid has never made crucian carp soup, and Wang Manyin is naturally the chef himself in the evening.

Actually, there's nothing to pay attention to. Generally, crucian carp needs to be fishy to make soup, and these are produced in the space without any earthy smell.

Remove the scales and internal organs directly, fry them in a pan until golden brown, add water and green onion and ginger and simmer.

It happened that there were still jujubes at home, so he threw a few more into the pot, and the dark red floats were quite conspicuous.

As for those loaches, the method is simpler, fried in a pan and served with braised mushrooms.

When the meal was ready, Wang Manyin sent a bowl to Wang Qiusheng's family.

The news that there are fish in the Dongla River has long been reported to several nearby villages. Send some fish soup by yourself, and it doesn't seem abrupt.

Next, several people each scooped a large bowl of milky fish soup.

Afraid that Shaoping Lanxiang would be pricked in the throat, Wang Manyin repeatedly told him before eating.

"Full of silver, crucian carp soup is so fragrant, it's the first time I've eaten fish." Orchid tasted and couldn't help but praise.

Hearing her aunt's words, Wang Manyin comforted her with some sadness: "Don't worry, you will definitely eat fish often in the future, and you will be able to eat enough when the time comes." ”

The taste of the fish soup is really not said.

On the one hand, his craftsmanship has been practiced, and on the other hand, the quality of the ingredients is naturally good.

With Wang Manyin's explanation in advance, several people were careful when drinking fish soup, but there were no accidents.

A large pot of fish soup was drunk by four people.

"Sister, there are too many delicious things in your house, why don't I just stay." Lan Xiang, the little girl, was full of burps and didn't want to go back to Shuangshui Village.

"There is no place to live at home, let your sister call you over again in two days......"

Wang Manyin naturally did not agree.

There is one more little girl to disturb, how to live in a two-person world.
