Chapter 19

When returning home, the second mother's voice was heard coaxing the child, Jiang Hu shouted, and hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Putting the biggest big fish directly into the tank, today's harvest is not bad, except for the big silver carp that is longer than his forearm, there are also two carp that is bigger than a palm, and a group of finger-thick carp. small fish.

Put the chub and carp in the tank, then dump the remaining small fish into the stone tank outside.

The stone jars are filled with small fish, and the biggest ones are only the size of a woman's palm. The bigger ones are all kept in the kitchen water tank.

Jiang Hu first went to the courtyard to see if Erni, the big baby, was back, and saw that both brothers and sisters were walking home, and then went to the house.

"Er Niang, I caught a big fish!" Jiang Hu excitedly gave Er Niang the size of the silver carp: "It's so big, I'll take it to the town tomorrow, and I'll definitely be able to buy it for a good price!"

"It's so big!" Erniang exclaimed, and Xiaomi next to him waved and called a few times, and Erniang released her hand and patted her.

Jiang Hu nodded: "Well, let me tell you, I'll go to fetch water first, and I'll come back to cook right away, you wait a while."

Erniang said quickly, "Brother Hu, slow down, it's getting dark."

Jiang Hu had already gone out, and there was only one sound that came from outside.

The water tank is filled with fish, and the water they use for cooking is picked from the village. There are only three wells in Fu'an Village, and every household has to come here to fetch water for their meals.

In the past, Jiang Hu just filled a tank with water. Even if he had to wash diapers, he could use it for two or three days. Now he only picks it when he needs water every day. After all, there are only two buckets at home.

A bucket of water to cook rice to eat, today is still fish soup, but also boiled wild vegetable porridge, although it is all soup, but at least it is meaty, and it will not be so hungry.

After dinner, the eldest child went to wash the dishes, and Jiang Hu washed the diapers that he had saved today, and put them on the small bed behind the stove.

The charcoal fire for cooking has not been completely extinguished, and it is very warm here. After baking overnight, it will be completely dry tomorrow morning, and it can be used again. It was like this when it rained before, and it was more convenient.

When sleeping at night, Erni, the big baby, kept telling Erniang about the big fish. The two little guys were very excited, thinking that they could catch more and bigger fish in the future.

Xiaomi also listened with gusto, and wanted to get up immediately and go catch fish with his elder brother and second sister.

This excited mood lasted until sleep, and even in my dreams, I was dreaming of drinking fish soup.

Being able to eat fish soup every day is like a day like a fairy!

Early the next morning, before dawn, Jiang Hu got up to cook, cooked the rice, and washed the diaper he had changed last night.

This time he splashed water in a place where no vegetables were grown.

While there was still time, the vegetable seedlings that were pulled out yesterday were replanted in the vegetable garden.

It's amazing to say that the vegetable seedlings that were pulled out yesterday morning have not yet wilted.

After eating, he told the eldest child not to go anywhere today, and to take care of his younger siblings and mother at home. Jiang Hu carried a wooden bucket with fish and headed to the town.

In the town closest to Fu'an Village, it takes more than an hour to walk, carrying things on your back, and resting on the road, which will only take longer.

And at this moment, the genius just dawned.

From the end of the village to the entrance of the village, there were many people on the road, and everyone exclaimed with envy when they saw the big fish on Jiang Hu's back.

Jiang Hu was in a hurry to go to the town to sell the fish. He didn't have time to chat with everyone, so he just said hello and left in a hurry.

However, with Jiang Hu's lessons learned, everyone is full of expectations and enthusiasm for catching fish and birds.

Anyway, there is nothing to do during this period of time. Why not take this opportunity to get something to eat. Even if you can't sell it and bake it into dried fish, you can keep it and eat it later, right?
As a result, a craze for catching fish quickly emerged in Fu'an Village. Everyone does not have such good bait, but who said that bait must be used to catch fish?

The way is always figured out by people. Some people found that there are many small fish under the stone crevice by the river, but those small fish swim very fast, and when they touch the water a little, they quickly escape.

However, it is not difficult for people who want to eat fish to directly find a stone, stand a little further away, and smash the big stone by the river with force.

With the loud bang, the fish in the stone crevices were stunned. At this time, if the big stone was lifted again, the small fish could be picked up directly.

In this way, let alone an adult man, even a child with a little more strength can catch a lot of them in a day.

However, catching fish in this way also has a disadvantage, that is, these small fish will not live for long, and they will turn their stomachs in half an hour at most.

But everyone didn't care. After taking it home, they squeezed a little bit with two fingers to squeeze out the dirty things in the fish's stomach. Then, the small fish were skewered with ropes and grilled directly by the fire into dried fish.

Such small dried fish, keep it well and don't get wet, it can be stored for several months!
However, Jiang Hu still doesn't know about these things. When he left Fu'an Village, he used the memory of when he came to find the direction to the town.

They fled from the other direction to the county seat, and were then arranged by the magistrate to go to this village, and he only walked through the road from the town to Fu'an Village once.

Fortunately, the time is not long, the traces on the road are also obvious, so that you will not get lost.

Xiangma Town, the closest town to Fu'an Village.

Seeing the town from a distance, Jiang Hu breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived.

After resting, Jiang Hu strode in again, and when he entered the town, he also saw marks of swords being cut on the nearby walls, proving that not long ago, this place also suffered the disaster of war.

Fortunately, all these have passed, the town is full of people, and it has resumed the lively early.

Jiang Hu didn't rush to sell fish, but walked around the town and determined that there were only three restaurants in the town, and then went to one of them.

"Hello, do you want fish here? The big fish I caught yesterday is still alive."

"Go, go, where are the country bumpkins, do you know that all the dishes in our restaurant are specially delivered by someone? Where do you come from and where do you go back?"

Before he could go in, he was blasted out by Xiao Er like a fly.

Jiang Hu's face flushed, and he was suddenly a little discouraged.

But when he thought of the expectant eyes of his wives and children when he left, Jiang Hu regained his energy and turned to the second restaurant.

As a result, the second family was chased away by Xiao Er before he could finish speaking.

There is only the last restaurant left. If you don't want it here, you can only go to the market, and the chances of selling it are even smaller.

Jiang Hu took a deep breath outside the door, then showed what he thought was the biggest smile, and walked into the last restaurant.

"Hello, shopkeeper, I have a big big fish here, do you want it in your restaurant?"

The shopkeeper was in the process of reckoning, and was a little unhappy when his thoughts were interrupted, but he still looked up at Jiang Hu, and then looked at the big bucket he was carrying.

"How big is the big fish? Put it down and let me see."

As soon as Jiang Hu heard there was a play, he quickly put down the basket and brought out the bucket.
