Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 134 Returning Yang Fish (Part [-])
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Lu asked directly.

After being looked at by Zhou Fangjing with that weird look several times, Lu Lu felt uncomfortable all over.

"No...it's nothing!" Zhou Fangjing laughed dryly.

Nothing, you look at me with that look?

There was suspicion in those eyes.

Based on Lu Lu's understanding of him, he knew without thinking that Zhou Fangjing was looking for his wife, Guiping.

If I haven't seen it now, I might suspect what happened to Lu Lu and that woman, or have already guessed something, otherwise it wouldn't be this kind of look.

Since Zhou Fangjing said it was nothing, Lu Lu didn't care about him, he was aboveboard, and he didn't do anything wrong.

However, he suddenly felt that Zhou Fangjing was not a very good person.

Don't you have a spectrum because of your own conditions?

Offer up a big kang as an aunt...

Could it be that she is still expected to come over every day for dinner?
What a fool!
Lu Lu didn't want to talk to him, instead he asked Wang Dalong and others who were washing their hands and faces by the river to have dinner together.

Wang Yan quickly took the bowls and chopsticks, and refilled the meal for others. The others were straightforward, brought big bowls, shoveled vegetables into the iron pot, and each found a place to sit, talking nonsense while eating.

Wang Yan added some herself, and ate quietly by staying away from the side.

The little girl is very sensible, knowing that a bunch of old men gather together, and it is difficult for her to talk when she is alone.

Zhou Fangjing was holding the bowl, pawing it, looking at the forest outside, not saying much.

Until Wang Dalong asked: "Fang Jing, how is the wood cutting on your side...Fang Jing, Fang Jing..."

Wang Dalong yelled twice before he suddenly came back to his senses: "In another three to five days, we will be able to cut almost all the suitable and good logs on the half of the hillside."

There is no need to drag it back immediately, the three of them carry the chain saw, as long as they choose a good tree, they can knock down a tree in a few minutes, and then knock off the branches and break the top of the tree.

Dozens of trees can be brought down in a day, and the progress is very fast.

Lu Lu had seen the red pine forest, it was quite large.

At this rate, it would take about seven days, more than enough to cut enough wood to build a woodcut.

"You must be careful when cutting down trees."

Wang Dalong was very satisfied with this speed, and reminded him to pay attention to safety, so he didn't say anything more.

A large pot of stewed radish with badger meat is full of oil and water, and it is quite enjoyable to eat.

After the group of people had enough to eat and drink, and continued to go to work, Lu Lu found a sack and continued to make the beanbag he was playing with. After putting some bean cakes in it, he put a stone on it and used the beanbag The rope was tied and thrown into the water bubble.

Attracted by bean cakes, Lu Lu believes that he can get a lot of fish in them when he takes them out at night.

Suddenly remembering the yellow skin that was taken back last night, Lu Lu hurriedly took it out from the Immortal Pillar and peeled it.

The leather was stretched in a frame and placed in the fairy column to dry in the shade. Then he found a sack to carry it on his back, and went to gather wild vegetables among the trees on the nearby hillside.

The dozens of catties of wild vegetables I got last time were blanched and dried, and shrunk to a little bit, so I had to prepare more.

A few days later, under the sunshine, the temperature continued to rise, and the wild vegetables in the mountains and forests were growing wildly, and they only needed to be picked vigorously.

The place to go is not far away. In one afternoon, Lu Lu ran back and forth twice to pick cucumbers and monkey leg vegetables, weighing more than a hundred catties.

Lu Lu blanched and washed these wild vegetables and soaked them in cold water. When the matter was over, it was already dark.

Wang Dalong led people to do things, he was quite relieved, he didn't need to see or talk about it.

At this point, people have already gone back from work.

Lu Lu had been busy all afternoon, feeling more tired than hunting in the mountains, with back pain.

After moving my shoulders, I still have to continue to work on filling the temple.

He began to miss the beautiful days when Chen Xiuyu prepared the meals when he returned home.

Hmm... work hard!
After steaming the rice, Lu Lu went to the side of the water bubble, pulled the rope, and dragged the simple beard cage that had been placed in it all afternoon out of the water bubble.

Good guy, through the gap in the beard cage, you can see the lively miscellaneous fish inside, the number is considerable.

Uncovering the sack at the bottom of the beard cage, Lu Lu poured all the fish inside into a wooden basin, and filled a shallow basin, which weighed more than ten catties.

There are a lot of fish in the northeast mountains. In these days, it can be said that wherever there is water, there are fish.

I worked as an educated youth on the farm a few years ago, and when the farm couldn't get rid of the pot, a group of people on the farm would try to catch fish in various ways, and many difficult days depended on them to survive.

Although it is a bubble, it is not a pool of stagnant water.

There is a small fork in the creek, and a small stream of water pours into the bubble, and then flows out from the other end, returning to the river.

The water quality of this water bubble is clear. Standing on the edge, you can see the aquatic plants and moss below.

However, to Lu Lu's disappointment, half of the miscellaneous fish fished out of the beard cage were old man fish.

Old man fish is Lu Lu's least favorite fish, and it is very common in water bubbles and swamps.

This thing is strange. In winter, the water bubbles in which it lives are completely frozen, and it stays in the ice for several months. When it thaws, it can continue to be alive and kicking, so it is also called the Yangyang fish.

According to legend, the reason why the old man fish can't freeze to death is completely related to the parasites growing in its head.

People usually refer to this red parasite as the resurrection insect.

In this regard, there does not seem to be any authoritative statement.

Many people are also eating old man fish, and they haven't heard of any problems, but in Lu Lu's heart, he still instinctively rejects this stuff.

Of course, when eating old man fish, many people cut off their heads before using them for cooking.

The old man fish was picked up one by one by Lu Lu with another basin, and was about to throw it back into the river. After thinking about it, it couldn't be ruined like this. There are many animals that like to eat fish in this mountain. Anyway, I will go to see those traps later , just used as bait.

Except for this old man fish, the rest are all good things.

Willow root fish, crucian melon seeds, small white fish, boat dingzi... Most of them are miscellaneous fish the size of a finger.

This is something to eat!

He picked out the bellies of small fish, removed the internal organs, cleaned them and dried them to dry.

After the rice was steamed, he used a small portion to cook the fish soup, and fried the rest until it was crispy, and sprinkled some salt finely.

The fish soup is delicious, and the fish meat is fresh and tender; the deep-fried small fish, one in the mouth, chews crisply, and even the fish bones are crispy, which is delicious.

It was quite a comfortable meal.

Thinking of Wang Dalong and the others' lunch tomorrow, after eating and drinking enough, Lu Lu simply put some bean cakes in the whiskers again, put the whiskers into the water bubble, and at noon tomorrow, they just took them out for cooking.

After the work was done, Lu Lu stepped on the shotgun, carried the hunting bag, and led Yuan Baoniang and the four, walking towards the meadow as if taking a walk after dinner, inspecting the wooden clips.

It's just that after this trip, there is nothing to gain, and the wooden clips have not been moved much.

After replacing all the baits on the clip with old man fish, Lu Lu turned back and rested early after taking care of Chasing Wind.

For the next two days, Lu Lu's energy was devoted to picking wild vegetables.

The fried wild vegetables are dried in a large piece in front of the cellar in disassembled sacks or snakeskin bags.

These things are enough to eat for a while in winter.

However, on the third day, Zhou Fangjing, who went to cut down the red pine, had an accident.
