Chapter 122: Catch a fish in the rising water
Gao Mingcheng has been in a good mood these days, not only eating the tender tofu of his little daughter-in-law, but also eating real water tofu.
Many beauties know how to make tofu, to be precise, the women in their entire village basically make tofu.
Not only tofu, but also boiling brown sugar, fried rice, making rice candy, wrapping zongzi, making rice crackers, etc., are all crafts that women know, and during the New Year's holidays, whether the children in the family have enough snacks to eat depends on the housewife's skill.
A lot of beauty is made of gypsum-dotted tofu, and the tofu is more tender. She squeezes the finished tofu dry and divides it into five portions of different sizes.
They haven't purchased a stone mill at home, so they borrowed the soybeans from the stone mill of Grandma's house, and after this was done, they sent two large pieces of tofu to Grandma's house, and then sent one to their second sister, and then to Gao Mingcheng's parents, and finally had to send one to her master Dong Feixia, and the rest was kept for their own food.
At this time, the vegetables in the field have not yet grown, and it is the time when there is a shortage of vegetables to eat.
A lot of fried tofu on a plate, and then add some dried chili peppers and garlic leaves, not to mention how delicious!
"The water in this well is good, and the tofu is really delicious! Mingcheng, you eat more! Many beauties smiled and gave Gao Mingcheng a dish.
Gao Mingcheng gulped and praised a person's good cooking skills, that is, to eat fragrant in front of her!
I had just finished eating a bowl of rice when I suddenly heard a voice outside the courtyard.
"Gao Mingcheng! There's a fish in the reservoir, are you going to catch it? "Outside the door, there are Gao Liang and Gao Zhuang.
The two wore hats, a cloak of strange shape, and carried a bucket in their hands.
"Brother Mingcheng, you live here, the closest to the big reservoir, why didn't you be the first to catch fish? We just saw that Gao Dacai's family got a big bucket of fish back to the village, so we quickly got the bucket, let's go together! Gao Zhuang urged Gao Mingcheng, for fear that it would be too late and the fish would be caught by others.
In the spring, when the rain and water rise, there will be a lot of fish in large reservoirs and small ditches, and under normal circumstances, it is better to catch some on rainy days.
It's raining today, so Gao Mingcheng hasn't gone out yet.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the strange cloaks on the two of them and couldn't help but want to laugh.
It was a simple poncho by cutting the fertilizer bag, sewing the two bags together, and sewing a rope into the top.
Before there were no fertilizer bags, some people in their village would use the bark of palm trees to weave a coat or straw, but straw is not as strong and easy to use as brown bark.
It's just that today's young people want to be convenient and lightweight, and they directly make fertilizer bags into ponchos.
But Gao Mingcheng doesn't have this kind of simple poncho, he doesn't have a coat, and he only has an umbrella and a hat at home.
He lifted a bucket in one hand, removed the hat hanging from the wall with the other, and put it on his head before heading out.
Gao Zhuang couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother Mingcheng, you will still get wet in the rain if you wait like this." ”
To catch fish, you have to bend down and go to the water to catch it, and if it rains, if you don't need a poncho to protect yourself from the rain, your clothes will be completely wet.
Many beauties didn't want Gao Mingcheng to get wet, so they said, "You go find someone to borrow a robe!" It's still cold, and you're going to get sick if you get wet. ”
Gao Mingcheng didn't agree to borrow the clothes.
When the water rises in the spring, it is the time when the people in the village are reveling, and it is estimated that after a while, everyone will go to the water to catch fish.
At this time, I went to borrow the clothes, I am afraid that I will not be able to borrow them.
Gao Mingcheng is in good health, and he is not afraid of this little rain.
He didn't say anything to many Meiduo, and walked directly to the big reservoir with Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang.
Many beauties stood under the eaves, their little faces flushed.
In addition to being angry that Gao Mingcheng refused to listen to herself, and angry that she didn't prepare things for Gao Mingcheng in advance, she cleaned up the kitchen, boiled a large pot full of hot water, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, trying to find materials that could make ponchos.
But there weren't many things at home, and I really couldn't find something suitable, so many beauties held umbrellas and went to her master Dong Feixia's house.
Dong Feixia's house has a whole room full of fabrics, leathers and leftovers, etc., and if you look for it at her house, you will definitely be able to find it.
At this time, Gao Mingcheng and the three of them had already walked to the side of the big reservoir.
As the spring rain falls one after another, the water surface of the reservoir is already about 123 acres, and when it rains a few more times, it will rise to 17 acres wide.
There are fish in the reservoir and in the ditch connected to it.
These fish are wild species, most of them are not large, and crucian carp are the majority.
By the time the three of them arrived, there were already other people in the reservoir, all wearing hats, robes or fertilizer bags, bending over to catch fish.
From time to time, there was a conversation, some people were surprised to say that they had caught a lot of fish, and some people went to look for them elsewhere because there were not many fish.
Gao Mingcheng and the three of them did not speak, but began to disperse in tacit understanding, and each caught fish.
This season is the best time to catch fish in the four seasons of the year, but if you are not lazy, everyone can catch a few catties or dozens of catties of fish.
There are those who are hardworking and willing to work, and there are hundreds of catties that have been caught.
With so many fish, it is natural that you will not be able to eat them for a while, but the crucian carp is easy to raise, can live for a while, and can also slaughter the fresh fish, put it into a large iron pot, and slowly dry it over low heat.
Once the dried fish has been baked, you can put it away and eat it slowly.
Gao Mingcheng is a good fish catcher and has a lot of experience, so he quickly found a place with a lot of fish and began to bend down to catch them.
As soon as he bent over, his back was completely soaked by the rain, and when his clothes gradually became soaked, his body felt clammy and cold.
But this level of clammy cold, he can still tolerate it.
He ignored his physical discomfort and put all his attention on catching fish, only to see that his two hands kept making the action of catching fish, and every time he did not pounce on the air, one by one the fish were transferred from the wide reservoir to the narrow bucket, and the living space became more and more narrow, because Gao Mingcheng soon harvested a large bucket full of fish.
He straightened up and walked home with a bucket of water.
When passing by Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang's side, he said, "I'll go back first." ”
Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang both knew that he was good at catching fish, but they still never expected him to catch so fast!
The two glanced at each other and said "" in unison.
Gao Mingcheng carried a large bucket full of fish and walked quickly towards home.
At this time, he has an advantage over others, because his house is the closest to the big reservoir!
After returning home, he didn't see a lot of beauty, and Gao Mingcheng didn't care, he took out a big bathtub by himself, then poured all the fish into the bathtub, and then poured a bucket of water into it.
Immediately afterward, he simply went out with two buckets.
Seeing that he returned quickly, and was still carrying two buckets, Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang couldn't help but sink down again.
Feeling a sense of urgency in their hearts, the two of them bowed their heads and tried their best to catch the fish.
However, although there are many fish, it is not something that you can catch if you reach out to catch it, and the weather is still a little cold, and it is raining, and the body will not be able to stand it if you catch fish outdoors for a long time.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't have this worry, he caught the fish happily, and even had the mood to pick and choose the fish, if the fish was too small, he didn't bother to catch it!
I just happened to have tofu at home, and I just happened to make a crucian carp stewed tofu to eat at night!
Well, you'll have to pick a few big crucian carp!
