Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 62 Fishing in a Bamboo Basket
The big rock Meng Tao squatted on was in a deep water area, she did it on purpose.

Yesterday on the drying field, Zhou Cuiling said, "Why the wild boar is going to rush to you specially", which reminded Meng Tao, thinking carefully: the wild boar may not come specifically for her, but it may be because of her.

The problem was that the boiled water brought by Meng Tao was mixed with space pine needle dewdrops. When Meng Tao and the others drank it the day before yesterday, they were very careful not to let the boiled water drip to the ground. Zhou Cuimei took a water bottle and drank some water.

When they saw the wild boar, the wild boar made a mess of the weeds and soil under the pear tree, and was still chewing weeds, and that place was where they stood when they were drinking water.

So, the wild boar is actually attracted by the space pine needle dewdrops, right?
In order to confirm this speculation, Meng Tao decided to do an experiment today.

Last night, the bamboo basket containing cabbage and green vegetables had three or two cabbage leaves on the bottom. Meng Tao had soaked it in water mixed with pine needle dewdrops and put it back at the bottom of the basket. At this time, the basket was slowly sunk onto a stone at the bottom of the water. , The Hsinchu basket is quite heavy, the draft water, and the water flow is not urgent, and it will not float. Meng Tao watched carefully while washing clothes.

She ignored it for a while, and carefully washed the shoes. After brushing the two shoes, she looked at them again, her eyes widened: the big fish and the small fish in a bamboo basket are fighting for the vegetable stems at the bottom of the basket!
Meng Tao gently put down her shoes, leaned over, grabbed the handle of the basket with both hands, and lifted it vigorously—the fish were so clever, they ran away more than half of them, and there were only six or seven left, jumping around at the bottom of the basket.

Meng Tao called out to Qian Xiaoyun: "Come on, I caught the fish!"

Qian Xiaoyun hurriedly tiptoed over and was stunned: "Oh my God, big fish! How did you catch it?"

Meng Tao smiled and said, "I put the basket down and soaked it in water. There were broken vegetable stems at the bottom of the basket. These fish ran in to eat. I quickly brought them up and caught them without thinking."

Qian Xiaoyun counted the fish in the basket: "Two large grass carp, each weighing three pounds, these small ones are crucian carp, and small white carp... Tsk tsk! Peach Blossom, you are so lucky! Tonight! Make fresh fish soup, and give me a bowl, too?"

"Of course, everyone who sees has a share, and everyone eats together."

"Ah! There's meat to eat again!" Qian Xiaoyun laughed hard.

Meng Tao ran to the shore and broke two thin soft tree stalks, strung the fish into different sizes, and raised them in a shallow water nest.

Looking back, he saw that Qian Xiaoyun put the bamboo basket into the water again, and made a silent gesture to Meng Tao, and said in a low voice: "There are vegetable stems, let me try it too!"

After she finished speaking, she walked over to bring her clothes over and washed them by the side. Meng Tao said, "You are too close, and your shadows are thrown into the water. You move, how can the fish dare to come? Come here and take a look every now and then. , if there is any fish, go over there."

According to Qian Xiaoyun, the two of them were scrubbing on the other side of the big boulder, and their movements were as light as possible. Suddenly, Qian Xiaoyun suddenly leaned over there, lifted the basket forcefully, and shouted in excitement, "I caught it, I got it! I caught fish too!"

Meng Tao saw it, good guy, she caught a big fish and a lot of small fish. The big fish was the same size as the one she caught just now, weighing about three or four pounds.

The vegetable stem was swallowed by the big fish, and Qian Xiaoyun was satisfied and did not continue, but Meng Tao was a little worried that she would use the vegetable stem and leaves to lure fish in the future, but she would be disappointed.

Meng Tao ran to the shore and broke the soft branches again, skewered fish with Qian Xiaoyun, and said, "I didn't expect that I could catch fish like this. I've never tried it before."

Qian Xiaoyun giggled and laughed: "It's useless to try, how can it be so easy? I know why I am so lucky today, because yesterday this basket was taken by Xu Guoliang and the others to pack meat, and then the stalks fell into it, and it smelled of wild boar. , that's why the fish came!"

Meng Tao: "..."

She only learned today that it turns out that fish are also greedy for wild boar.

"You said earlier that this basket has been filled with meat and has a fishy smell, so how can you put clothes on?"

"It's not near the river, just use a brush to clean it... Hey, let's put our clothes together, and we'll use this basket for fish later!"

Meng Tao was speechless, okay, you have the final say.

Qian Xiaoyun was in a good mood and vigorously washed his clothes, but he was surprised that he finished washing his clothes one step ahead of Meng Tao. Then, regardless of the sprained hamstrings, he walked to the shore to grab some branches and weeds and put them in the basket. Then put the fish in, and cover it with a layer of grass to prevent it from being seen. Today, I caught three big fish and a dozen small and medium fish, which is quite a lot. If the production team let it go to the public, it would be a big loss.

After Meng Tao finished washing, she picked up two baskets and went home.

On the way, Meng Tao told Qian Xiaoyun that she was going to take a big fish to Zhou's house later, and Aunt Yang made bacon for her. She had to thank her. Qian Xiaoyun nodded and said that it was right, Meng Tao added. I will go to the city tomorrow, and I may go back for a few days.

Qian Xiaoyun asked in amazement, "It's not long since you came back from the city, what are you doing?"

Meng Tao explained the reason, and Qian Xiaoyun envied: "You'll be fine, you can often go out to play for a few days, but unfortunately I don't have such a good thing."

When they got home to dry their clothes, the two closed the courtyard door and scooped up a basin of water to deal with the fish together. First, they picked a big fish and waited for Meng Tao to take it to Zhou’s house. Then they chopped the other two big fish into pieces and marinated them with salt. , When I make braised fish in the evening, everyone will have a good meal when they come back.

After the other small fish are cleaned, they are placed on a dustpan to dry one by one. After cooking at night, there is residual fire in the stove, and they are slowly roasted to dry, so that they can be kept for a long time. One day, they are greedy and take out to stew soybeans, but they are eaten together. Good dish.

At noon, the two cooked two bowls of fresh fish soup with three Xiaoqing fish, spread out two more corn cakes and finished lunch, Meng Tao went to Zhou's house with a basket in hand.

Aunt Yang was not at home, Zhou Cuiling took her three younger brothers to lunch, and the four siblings greeted Meng Tao to sit down and eat together. Meng Tao replied that she had eaten it, so she went to the main room to pour boiled water, and Qian Xiaoyun put it in the fish soup. Put a little too much salt, too salty.

When Zhou Cuiling came over after dinner, her three younger brothers also went out, Meng Tao took out the fish from the basket and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the three of them will see it, and they will always want to go to the river to fish for fish in the future, the weather is cold. It’s also dangerous. To make fish at night, you can just say you bought it from the commune food store.”

Zhou Cuiling was surprised: "Could it be that you caught this fish from the river?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, go and ask Qian Xiaoyun. We caught this this morning. We were washing clothes by the river. We just sank the basket into the water. There were some broken leaves in the basket, and the fish got into it to eat it. We caught it, big fish and small fish, and we caught several."

"Oh my god! You guys are too good, but I think it's your luck. Really peach blossom, you're starting to get lucky, my mother said: someone is like this, bad luck is over, and suddenly good luck comes again and again, life The better it is!"

"Thank you Ji Yan, you little superstition." Meng Tao said with a smile.

"It's not superstition, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Cuiling giggled happily and took the grass carp: "This big one is for our family, what about you?"

"Also, this is specially used to thank Aunt Yang. She helped me make bacon."

"Okay, then we'll take your Aunt Yang's light and have some fish to eat at night!"

Zhou Cuiling happily put the fish in the cupboard. Meng Tao told her that she was going to a regional city tomorrow. Zhou Cuiling angrily said, "Look at you, go as soon as you say it, and don't wait for me!"

"I didn't know I had this free time. Uncle Bao didn't want me to follow me up the mountain. He asked me to rest at home. I thought that I would be idle anyway. Uncle Liu from Pingjiang City once told me to help him with things, so take advantage of this. It's time to go, otherwise it will snow in a few days, and it will be too cold to go out."

Zhou Cuiling sighed helplessly. She wanted to go to the city with Meng Tao, but she still had to go to work. It was not easy to ask for leave at the end of the year.

　Here comes the update.Thanks to the little cuties for their enthusiastic support, and thanks to the little fairies for their rewards!It will be more violent in two days.
