353 A school of crucian carp
After a morning of fishing, the harvest is not small, most of the barrels of fish, although most of them are crucian carp, but there are still two carp and a silver carp, not big, but enough to eat.
Cuigu went back soon after washing her clothes, I don't know if she saw Li Changhui here, and when Cuigu went back, she deliberately took a detour.
Lin He also suddenly saw that Cuigu was gone, and she didn't pass by the path behind her, so she guessed like this.
Lin He didn't pay much attention to it, but when they were about to go back, they found that the water level had risen a lot, not as high as last time, but at least it was as high as chopsticks.
The small stone that Cuigu pointed out to her before that where she washed her clothes on weekdays had been submerged.
Looking up into the distance, there were still dark clouds in the sky over there, but there was no sign of coming this way.
"It's a little scary, the sky hasn't changed at all on our side, and the water level has risen so much unconsciously."
I had always known that this would happen, but after all, I had not seen it with my own eyes, and the sun was still shining above their heads, but the river was quietly rising.
If there were children in the river, they might be carried away by the water if they weren't careful.
And it happened quietly without even realizing it.
It's no wonder that every summer, there are always some people who are carried away by the river if they are not careful.
Li Changhui held a bucket in one hand and two fishing rods in the other: "Don't look at it, it's not early, let's go back first." ”
Lin He nodded and followed: "Leave a few big crucian carp in the kitchen, boil the fish pond at noon, and pour all the remaining small fish into the field, the sun is bright today, see if you can live." ”
As for the remaining three carp and silver carp, I burned a spicy boiled fish at night, and I haven't eaten it for a few days, so I'm a little greedy.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll take it."
It was almost noon at this time, and it was very cool under the shade of the trees and the river wind, but it was very cool, and now I came to the sun to know what it means to be hot.
It's only a few days away from June, and by July and August, it's going to be even hotter.
Li Changhui wanted Lin He to go back first, so as not to bask in the sun, but Lin He obviously didn't think so, so he had to follow Li Changhui, especially to go to the paddy field to release the fish in person.
Li Changhui said that he couldn't move her, so he had to speed up his pace, and he could avoid being exposed to the sun for a while.
Lin He was worried about the rice field fish, even if he put the fish in it now, he wouldn't see any effect for a while, but in his heart, he just couldn't help it.
Fortunately, although it is hot, it can also cover some of it with a straw hat.
The two went to the kitchen first, Liu Qingyu was helping to cook together, and now there are more people working, and they are still the same as before, working all day, solving it themselves at noon, and subsidizing the food expenses of three cents.
But there are always people who can't go home, so there are about 30 people who have dinner today.
One aunt, plus one Liu Qingyu to start, is completely enough.
Lin He selected more than a dozen large crucian carp, asked his aunt to clean them up, used more meat oil, cooked a big pot of fish soup, and then one person had a bowl of fish pond, and then one person ate half a fish.
Crucian carp soup, fried in lard until golden brown on both sides, then boiled directly with water, and finally put some green onion and salt, no need for anything else at all, it is a milky white fish soup, and it is fresh and fragrant.
This method Lin He had taught the aunt who cooked rice before, but she didn't need to say more.
After Lin He left, Liu Qingyu looked at the fish in the basin, happy and worried.
A large pot of meat oil is placed in the kitchen, and I don't worry about whether they will waste it at all, and yesterday I also sent a bowl of fresh and clean oil residue over, so that they can add more when cooking, so as not to spoil it.
In the past, when she was at home, the oil residue was not as good as her and her brother's, and Mrs. Li was better than her grandparents and father.
Aunt Liu is the one who stayed to cook, and the remaining two aunts have been dismissed by Li Changhui, and now they are more serious about their work.
Because the two brothers and sisters of Qingsong and Qingyu have the same surname as her, and Lin He probably mentioned it, knowing that the brothers and sisters are homeless, they have a little more love for them.
Liu Qingsong is still working with everyone in the field, Liu Qingyu will come back to help cook when the time comes, the brothers and sisters are never lazy in their work, and they are serious, which makes people even more distressed.
Seeing Liu Qingyu squatting on the surface of the wooden basin with a worried face, Aunt Liu walked over and touched her head: "Don't you know how to kill fish?" ”
Liu Qingyu raised his head, his palm-sized face was very confused, pointed to his mouth, and waved his hand.
Aunt Liu has also been with Liu Qingyu for a few days, and she can probably understand what she means: "Haven't you eaten before?" ”
Liu Qingyu nodded vigorously.
"Then you have to eat more today, the method of cooking fish soup taught by Mrs. Li is very good, and the fish soup is very fragrant."
Saying that, Aunt Liu took a kitchen knife and picked up the wooden basin: "Let's go to the edge of the drain to clean up, so as not to make the kitchen everywhere, and it stinks very much when the sun shines." ”
Liu Qingyu hurriedly trotted to follow, her eyes were shining, she had never eaten, she had never killed fish, and her cooking was just cooked, but it was not delicious.
Recently, I have been working with Aunt Liu every day, and I feel that my cooking skills have improved a lot.
There are a lot of small jumping shrimp in the canal, and the ones that Lin He poured into the canal casually before are now scattered throughout the canal, occasionally washing their hands in the canal, and they can still be seen swimming in the water.
Fortunately, everyone is conscious and knows that this canal is raised by the owner, and even if someone gets out of the cage, they will only go to the river and will not come to the canal to catch shrimp.
On the other side, Lin He and Li Changhui took the rest of the fish, went back to their homes first, changed the three big ones into buckets, and ran to the paddy fields despite the hot weather.
The weeders have changed places, the muddy water has been cleared, and you can even see the small pits left in the fields, which are footprints.
"This feeling is good, the water is a little deeper where there are footprints, and the small fish can go down to hide in the shade."
Lin He ran too fast, Li Changhui was still a few steps behind, and said with a smile: "In the morning, I said that I would wait for the seedlings to grow up a little more, but it was only a long time, and in less than two hours, I was in a hurry to raise fish." ”
"It's all small fish, and crucian carp don't die easily, so it should be fine."
After speaking, he didn't forget to urge: "Brother Hui, take two steps faster." ”
It's almost there, and I'm still urging.
By the time Lin He finished speaking, Li Changhui had already arrived in front of her, and he raised his hand to pour the fish in the bucket into it, but Lin He held him down.
"I'll come."
As he spoke, he took the bucket and slowly poured the water and fish from the bucket down the edge of the field.
As soon as the fish came into the spacious water, they swung their tails and fled out and hid in the middle of the rice fields.
"A group of small fish, more than thirty of them, how can there be about two catties?"
More than 30 small fish were put into more than an acre of paddy fields, and none of them made a splash, so they were invisible.
