Mrs. Chen and Liu Chunhua were not hypocritical, and continued their work just now.

This glutinous rice wine should be separated from the sake lees, the wine should be packed into the wine urn, the mouth of the wine urn should be sealed, and the wine urn should be slowly simmered with fire, and the wine in the wine urn should be simmered open, so that it can be placed for a long time.

Doing this is not complicated, but it takes time.

There was more than half a jar of wine in the large wine vat, and Mrs. Chen took a bucket made of thin bamboo branches and pressed it into the large wine vat, and the wine slowly seeped into the bamboo bucket.

Liu Chunhua took half of the old gourd scoop, scooped up the wine that had seeped into the bamboo bucket and poured it into the wine urn, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated very well.

Qiuqiu and Xiaomei said goodbye and left, and Mrs. Chen instructed Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, tell your father and aunt that tomorrow there will be fish in the fish pond at grandma's house." ”

"Okay." Qiuqiu looked back at the small fish pond.

A third of the water in the fish pond has been discharged, revealing a wet stone pond.

It turned out that Xiao Qiuqiu drowned in this fish pond, and then Qiuqiu's soul was able to enter it.

The next day, the weather warmed up, Huang Meixiang and Yao Dabao came over early to help, and Qiuqiu and the fifth sister also came over.

Today, the fish nets in the fish pond should be brought up, the water in the fish pond should be drained, and the pond mud in the fish pond should be dug clean, so as to keep the fish pond from being hoarded by the pond mud, and the fish stocked in the next year will have more space to move.

On the edge of the gap in the fish pond, a rickshaw has been erected since yesterday afternoon, this kind of water wheel is called a keel car, about six meters long, one end is placed in the water, and the other end is erected at the gap in the fish pond.

Twist the handle on the head of the waterwheel to drive the movable wooden plank on the waterwheel chain belt to bring the water from the fish pond up.

This kind of rickshaw was the most advanced pumping tool at that time, and there was only one in the entire Yaojia Village, which was newly made.

In fact, aunts Liu Chunhua and Huang Meixiang have been twisting the waterwheel to pump water since yesterday afternoon, and now most of the water in the fish pond has gone.

Huang Meixiang and Yao Donglan are twisting the waterwheel to pump water, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to twist the waterwheel, but it can't be stopped, and it must be persevered.

Once the waterwheel stops, the water in the waterwheel will leak out, and it will take a long time to idle before the water can be brought up again, wasting time and manpower.

Yao Dabao and Yao Tianbao raised their trousers and went to the fish pond, and one of them pulled a long fishing net and fish, netting over and over again, and did not let go of large and small fish, and asked for five or six times back and forth.

Liu Chunhua and Liu Qunxiang picked up the big fish into a big wooden barrel, which was the kind of big wooden barrel used for bathing, and there was half a bucket of water in the wooden barrel to ensure that the big fish would not die all at once.

The small fish are placed in regular wooden barrels.

Villagers came to buy fish one after another.

Qiuqiu is responsible for the scales, and the big Anhui fish costs ten cents a catty, and the flat fish costs eight cents a catty, which is about the same as the price of chickens and ducks.

Qiuqiu's second uncle, Yao Erbao, sat on a stool with a small table in front of him, responsible for collecting money, and he also registered a very small number of people who wanted to pay on credit.

After a busy morning, the fish nets in the fish pond are almost finished, at least you can ensure that there are no big fish that have missed the net, because the water in the fish pond is getting shallower and shallower, and you can know if there are any big fish to see the movement.

The fish from the net were almost sold, and the remaining fish was enough for three families.

Mrs. Chen cooked the rice, fried fish, stewed fish, radish fish head soup, set up a table, and a few plates of green vegetables and pickles, and the three families had a simple lunch together.

At lunchtime, Liu Chunhua relieved the onlookers and agreed to let them go down to the fish pond to catch some small fish that had slipped through the net.
