Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 90 Fried Fish
At the beginning of March in the lunar calendar, it seems that suddenly there is a lot of greenery on the edge of the cliff, mixed with yellow flowers blooming from Huanghualang.

Huanghualang is another name for dandelion, and it is also a life-saving vegetable for people in the Loess Plateau.

In addition, there are white wormwood, bitter cabbage, shepherd's purse... as long as they can be eaten, people will be looking for them all over the mountains and plains this season.

People living in later generations can never imagine how eager farmers in this era are to fill their stomachs.

In order not to make her home look so special, even Lanhua often digs wild vegetables with the village mothers and aunts.Naturally, Wang Manyin's family was not short of food, and he would get some food from the "bazaar" almost every ten days and a half months.

Of course, this is what he said to Lanhua.

In fact, since the beginning of spring, Wang Manyin didn't dare to go to the market again.Now the management of the market is getting stricter and stricter. I don’t know how many people who run small businesses have problems.

Some of those grains were bought from Mijia Town last year, and more belonged to the output in the space, just to prepare for this day.

In more than a month, when the second crop of wheat in the space is harvested, his family will be completely self-sufficient.

However, his family opened a consignment point, and people came and went every day.

Afraid of attracting attention, Wang Manyin did not dare to take out more, at most [-] to [-] catties at a time, and he would think of a way after eating.

Stored in the space, it is far a hundred times safer than the outside world.

In addition, Wang Manyin's diet has also changed now. He eats black meat twice a day, which makes him feel nauseous.There is no way, many people in Guanzi Village are on the verge of breaking down, and they can no longer specialize.

Only when it was dark at night, the two of them would quietly have a good meal.

My family lives outside the village, and usually no one comes at night, and with rhubarb guarding it, it is relatively safe.

Wang Manyin is probably the first traveler who has the space to live so well.

Apart from my own family, life is not easy for my old father-in-law.

Every now and then, he would send Lanhua back to deliver food.

I don’t give too much every time, usually three to five catties, and it’s not eye-catching even if people see it.

There are also three broken children from the neighbor Wang Qiusheng's family... Whenever they come, Wang Manyin will divide each of them into half a black nest every time.

Do your best.

As for other families in the village, there is no other way.

But this year, Guanzi Village is a little bit better, and the broken children in the village can find a few loaches and small fish in the river to fight their teeth every now and then.

Not only the broken children, but now even the adults often hang around the river after work.

In the end, it's all about eating.

Naturally, Wang Manyin was no exception... In order to let the orchids drink the fish soup brightly, he took advantage of the warmth at noon and wandered around the Dongla River with his own twig basket.

As a result, as soon as he got off the cliff, he saw Mr. Wang Mancang standing upright by a shallow beach, holding a fish basket woven with thorns in his hand.

Beside him, there are also two broken children, who are his grandchildren.

Fish Basket is also a new thing in Guanzi Village.There was no one in the village to catch fish before, so of course there was no way to prepare any professional tools.

Some time ago, people had little experience, and most of them, like Wang Manyin, used wattle baskets to catch fish.However, the twig basket is too big and heavy to put in the water, and there are holes in the bottom of the basket, which makes it easy for fish to escape.

Later, the villagers began to make various lightweight and convenient fishing tools according to the descriptions of the educated youths.In addition to fish baskets, there are also fish baskets, fishing nets...

"Brother Mancang, where are you fishing?"

"Well, the kids are clamoring for fish, so I'll come to the river to have a look."

Wang Manyin walked closer and saw a wooden barrel beside him, so he couldn't help turning his head to take a look.

"Hey, you caught quite a few..."

In addition to three loaches, there is also a big crucian carp.Get it back and add half a pot of water, add some wild vegetables, enough for the family to have a delicious fish soup.

Immediately, he tentatively asked again: "Brother Mancang, did you see so many fish in the Dongla River when you were young?"

Although it is separated by space, it is theoretically impossible for people to detect abnormalities.But after letting go of the fish a few times, Wang Manyin felt somewhat uneasy.

"I've never seen it before, Xiemen! There have been fish in the Dongla River before, and there have never been so many fish like this year. I also heard that there are more fish in the Dongla River. Someone in Lijiapo caught more than three catties at a time..."

Hearing what the old man said, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

This rambunctious person is indeed a bit of a loser.

The entire Dongla River flows day and night, and he puts fish in the waters of Guanzi Village, but it doesn't mean that the fish stay in place all the time.Due to the turbidity of the river, many fish will be dragged downstream.Of course, there are also many people who go against the current.They will only settle down if they find the right waters.

It is normal to disperse in dozens of miles of water overnight.

Even if someone really doubted it, they couldn't doubt it at the head of Guanzi Village.

After chatting with the old man, Wang Manyin was going to go upstream for a while, to find a hidden place and enter the space to catch some crucian carp.

But before he left, he saw a few more people walking towards this side with buckets.Wang Yanqiang took the lead, followed by Wang Lianshun and a few educated youths.

Now everyone in the village has experience in catching fish and knows that fish like clearer water.The water surface near Guanzi Village is relatively clear in this shoal.

"Uncle Yanqiang, are you catching fish too?" Seeing other people coming, Wang Manyin couldn't leave for a while.

"That's right, Man Yin, we brought something new this time. Let you learn a lot..." While speaking, Wang Yanqiang suddenly threw something over.

Subconsciously, Wang Manyin reached out to take it, and then his face changed drastically, and he almost threw it out.

"Fuck, Uncle Yanqiang, you want to blow me up!"

As he spoke, he carefully placed it on the ground.

What the opponent threw over were several cylindrical detonators bundled together.

Seeing this, Wang Yanqiang laughed loudly: "Man Yin, I usually see that you are very courageous, but you are frightened by a few thunderbolts. Don't worry, this thing is actually very safe. You can smash it with a big hammer. It doesn't necessarily explode, unless you hit the thunder inside. When I was a soldier, I used this thing as a firecracker during the Spring Festival, and the sound was loud, which was very festive!"

Is this festive?

Hearing this, Wang Manyin was speechless, and replied embarrassingly: "It's better to be careful."

But looking at the plain looks of the others, he felt that he had overreacted a bit.

There is no way, the safety education of later generations is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people are scared to retreat five meters away when they set off fireworks.

In this era, people's security awareness is relatively weak, and they are all stupid and bold.Especially the group of broken children, they were even more crazy when picking up firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as many people lit the firecrackers, they rushed to loot them.If you encounter smoke, just stomp it with your foot.

And the detonator is not as safe as Wang Yanqiang said.

When Wang Manyin was a child, he once saw a young man without a right hand who broke his hand by blowing fish with a detonator.Judging by Wang Yanqiang's appearance, it is obvious that he also intends to come to the river to fry fish.

He wanted to stop it aloud, but stopped when the words came to his lips.On this occasion, it is inappropriate to say some disappointing words by yourself.

Under the expectant eyes of a group of people, Wang Yanqiang lit a cigarette and ignited it.

zizi...

With sparks flying, the detonator was thrown into the puddle.

Pass, a loud bang.

A turbid column of water appeared on the surface of the water, followed by the churning of the waves.

After the water surface calmed down again, everyone ran towards the puddle.On the surface of the turbid water, crucian carp and loach floated with belly...

In ten minutes or so, everyone picked up thirty or forty loach, more than a dozen beautiful crucian carp, and some freshwater shrimp.

Even Wang Manyin didn't expect that there are so many fish hidden in this seemingly inconspicuous puddle?More importantly, it also verified my guess.

As long as there is a pond around the Dongla River, fish and shrimp can be raised.

After such a toss, Wang Manyin completely gave up the idea of ​​catching fish. Seeing that it was not early, he followed everyone back to the village.

On the way back to the village, he asked about the check dam again.

Now that the detonators have been brought in, it's time to officially start work.Because of Director Zhao, it has been delayed for more than ten days.

If we continue to dawdle, it is estimated that the work may not be completed before the wheat harvest.

Hearing this, Wang Lianshun slowed down.

After distanced himself from the crowd, he whispered, "I've asked someone to make a secret calculation. The day after tomorrow will be a good day. Let's officially start work."

Although these years are turbulent, the common people still believe in the old tradition.When it comes to building a house or doing some big things, I will quietly find someone to do the math and ask for peace of mind.

It can be said that there are very few people who directly dig new caves like Wang Manyin.

"If I start work the day after tomorrow, I will take two days off to collect firewood in the mountains!" Wang Manyin thought for a while.

The firewood at home was cut by him in Langwo Mountain last winter, and he also stored a lot in the space at that time.But so far, there is not much left.

Once the check dam started, Wang Manyin, as a labor force of the second team, was embarrassed to ask for leave.He didn't want to let Lanhua collect firewood, so he could only take advantage of this spare time to go to the mountains twice by himself.

"It's great that you go to collect firewood. Take Liu Xiangyang and the others with you tomorrow." Wang Lianshun immediately nodded and agreed.

"What are you doing with them? Isn't the team supplying firewood?" Wang Manyin asked strangely.

As far as he knows, these educated youths are living a good life.There are 36 catties of food per month, plus half a catty of soybean oil, a catty of pork tickets, and seven yuan of living expenses.

As for the firewood, the brigade will help supply it.

Therefore, their living standards are definitely much better than most ordinary people in Guanzi Village.Usually the educated youths went to work in the team, except for Liu Xiangyang who performed better, most of the rest were lazy, and some asked for more leave than Wang Manyin.

Why did such a group of people suddenly want to go into the mountains to collect firewood and suffer?Do you really think that the twenty-mile mountain road back and forth is a joke?

"Hey, isn't it that the brigade can't afford enough supplies? At the beginning of spring, the educated youths didn't have any firewood, so they kept secretly using wood from the brigade to burn... They originally planned to expand the barn after autumn, but they burned more than half of it. It’s not that Mantun discovered it early, and half of the cave’s wood has been burned out.”

Hearing this, Wang Manyin really didn't know what to say.The educated youths have no idea what wood means to the people of the Loess Plateau.

If any villager does this, he must not be lightly spared.

When Wang Manyin originally planned to go to the mountains to collect firewood, he was busy entering the space for a long time.

But since Wang Lianshun explained, he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, let them come with me tomorrow."
