Chapter 18: finally come

Chapter 18: finally come

  Chapter 18 is finally here

  For Deng, it is impossible to say that there is no sadness, but perhaps due to the influence of her eldest daughter and husband, she has already accepted the reality frankly.

  As for Zhao Liya, she was thinking that when the weather got hotter, she would have to discuss it with Hu Ling. The two of them would each take one, and quietly take the two children into the water in a remote place, so that they could learn to swim.

  Hu Ling had already seen the place, and took them three times for about a quarter of an hour, until they came to a section of river with gentle current, and the water surface suddenly became almost twice as wide after turning a big bend.

  The blue and quiet river water is a little farther away, and the bottom cannot be seen.

  Zhao Liya glanced at the two children: "The river here is quite deep, you haven't learned how to swim yet, don't go into the water."

  The two younger ones didn't think they could go into the water, so they obediently agreed.

  Zhao Linpin had something between the lines, and looked up at her: "Sister, if we learn how to swim, can we go into the water?"

  Zhao Lixiang's eyes also lit up: "I want to learn to swim too!"

  Zhao Liya tapped their foreheads lightly, and said with a smile: "Learn, learn. But not now, I will arrange for you. Remember, don't tell your parents, you know?"

   "Yeah!" The two children were even happier, and they nodded vigorously.

  For children, doing something without telling their parents is particularly attractive.

   Hu Ling watched the audience, his eyes were so indescribable: "."

Zhao Liya didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "Brother, there are so many rivers and water here, it's not safe if you don't know how to swim! I think it's better for them to learn. But parents may get entangled, so there's no need to tell them Add to their troubles, don't you think?"

   Hu Ling was even more speechless: "."

   What can he say? He could only laugh or cry and nodded: "Well, you are right!"

  Zhao Liya laughed: "Come on, let's go fishing!"

  Hu led into the water, followed the current and spread the net little by little along the river surface, intercepting a large area of ​​water. Then use the long penny to slap the water surface upstream to drive the fish downstream.

  Zhao Liya led the two children to help, picked up stones from the bank, and threw them into the water.

  Watching the splash of stones thrown into the water, the two little ones were very happy, laughing and joking, you scrambled to pick up stones and smash them into the water.

  Yomo felt that it was almost done, Hu Ling stopped them with a smile, and began to collect the net from the water little by little.

  The natural environment of the original ecology is cool. The fishing net is gradually closed, and the two children scream in surprise.

   "Wow, caught a fish!"

   "Another one! Two, three! That's a lot!"

   "Ah! Look at how big this one is!"

"Really!"

  Let’s not talk about them, Zhao Liya couldn’t help showing a satisfied smile when she saw that she had gained a lot.

  The fishing nets were brought up, and everyone hurriedly untied the big fish that was more than three fingers wide and threw them into the wooden barrel.

  In addition to such big fish, there are also countless small fishes the size of two fingers.

  Hu Ling found a suitable place for the three fish cages and lowered them into the water, planning to collect them tomorrow morning.

   Some fish are difficult to catch with fishing nets, and fish cages are more suitable.

  Hu Ling was carrying a bucket, Zhao Liya was holding a fishing net full of small fishes, the two were bouncing around, and the four of them went home talking and laughing.

  Back home, Zhao Xiang and the others were also happy to see such an abundance of fish, "Hey, there are so many! There are so many fish in this river."

  Zhao Liya smiled, "Yes, we will have good luck in the future!"

  Although her cooking skills are not very good, she can still cook simple home-cooked dishes.

  In this era of poor information, everyone only knows how to eat fish in a few or two ways, but she is different.

  The seven big fish that are still alive and kicking are kept in the water tank in the backyard, and the rest don’t have to be dealt with.

  Zhao Liya took a look. There were crucian carp, carp, mandarin fish, yellow pepper, etc. in the bucket. There were sixteen of them, and there were some species she didn't know, but they looked delicious.

  My family definitely couldn’t finish it. After scraping off the scales and cleaning the gills, she gave four to Widow Qu.

  Widow Qu was very happy to accept it, and gave her a bowl of sauce made by herself in the twelfth lunar month last year, saying that it was especially delicious for stewing fish.

   Divided half of the beans, green peppers, and eggplants she had just picked from the vegetable field.

Qu widow, mother and daughter both like to eat fish, but they don't know how to fish, and a widow and a girl, fishing in the water is dangerous, and it's easy to embarrass and embarrass their clothes when the water gets wet. They want to eat fish only Can spend money to buy.

  However, the smell of fish is strong, so cooking wine, **** and spring onions are required to remove the fishy smell, and it also consumes oil. When you really want to buy it, think about it, and you will often change your mind and just buy pork. Because it is more cost-effective.

  So, this favorite thing, I really can’t eat it several times a year.

   Each of the four fish that Zhao Liya sent was about the size of a palm and about a foot long, and they were handled thoughtfully. Widow Qu was naturally happy.

  Zhao Liya is also happy, eating vegetables at home is a big problem now!

There are still 12 fish left, and I will eat 8 at home tonight. One big mandarin fish is steamed, and all the others are cut into fish pieces. eat.

  The fish head, fish tail and viscera are not wasted. Feed them to the chickens.

  The young fish were picked one by one from the fishing net, and there was almost a pot. Only then did everyone realize that there were still many thumb-sized prawns.

  The fish that are too small are also fed to the chicken, and the shrimp is not easy to keep, so they are simply boiled.

  Others are baked in a pot, and it is no problem to eat them for three days.

  Tomorrow, soak some soybeans. Stir-fried dried fish with soybeans is a famous home-cooked dish in the local area. Adding a little chili is even more delicious. Aunt Li Shiyi said it was delicious.

  In addition to fish, this dinner also has fresh wild mushrooms.

  Aunt Li Shiyi subconsciously felt fishy when she saw the steamed fish and boiled shrimp. Zhao Liya warmly invited her to taste it.

   "Of course, I won't lie to you!"

  Everyone laughed.

  Whether it is on the mountain or in the water, it is delicious, and the family is very happy to eat.

  Early the next morning, Hu Ling and Zhao Liya went to the river to collect fish cages.

  For this matter, both of them coincidentally got up much earlier than usual. They originally planned to go alone, but who knew it was such a coincidence, so they went together.

   It’s too late if you don’t go, who knows if the people in the village who went fishing and released fish cages yesterday know? If the Gu family finds out, they will secretly collect the fish cages put by others in advance.

  Widow Qu complained about it before, they do this kind of thing a lot.

   There are indeed a lot of fish in the river, and the three fish cages are full of harvests, including a dozen eels, seven or eight seven-star fish, five catfish, some prawns, and several crabs.
