Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 4 Fishing
"Open today's sign-in."

"Ding, the sign-in was successful. Congratulations to the host for getting three yuan in cash and 8 fish." Looking at the result of the sign-in, Zhang Yu was quite satisfied. Each of the 8 fish weighed more than five catties.

Because I can only go to work on Monday, today is Tuesday, and there are still five days before work, Zhang Yu has the idea of ​​shopping around, just take this opportunity to learn about the prices, and prepare for the things he signed in later, so as not to miss anything Son.

After shopping around, I have to sigh, the prices in the 60s are really low.Eggs are 4 cents per catty, pork is 8 cents per catty, rice is 2 cents per catty, white flour is 5 cents per catty, and coarse grains are 0.1 cents per catty... The fluctuation range will not be too large, but because the current supply is small, many things cannot be bought. The price on the black market has risen, not to mention several times, and a catty of food stamps has even reached [-] cents, and it is estimated that it will be even higher this year.

After strolling around and getting a rough idea of ​​the prices, he walked to the butcher stall. There was not much meat on it, only two or three catties of lean meat left, but he stopped when he saw the long queue behind him. The idea of ​​buying a little meat instead of more meat.

After thinking about it, even if he bought it with the meat tickets in the space, he would not dare to take the meat home. My sister-in-law clearly knows how many tickets he has, let alone underestimate the sensitivity of ordinary people in this era, and they may be discovered if they are not careful. You have to know how many secret agents in this era were caught because of some small leaks.

However, although the meat cannot be taken out, but looking at the eight big fish in the space, he has a new idea. Now he lives not far from the moat to the west, and there are passing buses. He can go fishing in the name of fishing. Make a turn around the moat, then make an excuse to get the fish out.

Thinking of this, I did what I said. I found the fishhook that my elder brother used to fish, found the thread and bamboo, and picked up a bucket from home. Put in a lunch box ready to use for lunch.

He got on the bus and went straight to the west moat. Half an hour later, the pale Zhang Yu stumbled off the bus. He didn't expect the road to be so bad now.The next time I come to kill him, I won't take the bus anymore. It seems that I have to find a way to buy a bicycle.

"Xiaoyu, you're here to fish too." After a while, he finally came to his senses. As soon as he raised his head, someone greeted him.

"Teacher Yan, are you here to fish too?" Looking up, it was the one he was most familiar with in the courtyard next door. After all, the school where the third master attended was the nearest elementary school nearby, and he also attended the elementary school there when he was a child.

He has no specific contact with the other people in the Qingman courtyard, so he doesn't know how different it is from the description in the TV series.As far as Mr. Yan is concerned, he feels that there is nothing wrong with him other than being stingy and calculating.However, if you think about it, the salary of teachers is not high in this era. Teacher Yan has worked for more than ten years, and his current salary is only more than 30 yuan. A family of six depends on his salary alone.Moreover, half a child eats a poor father, and the basic necessities of four children are not a small expense.

"It's not like I don't have class this afternoon, so I'll go fishing." The third master said while helping the frame of his glasses.

"Then, Teacher Yan, you go first, I'll go dig some earthworms over there."

"Okay, let's go and do your work. Fishing is not an easy task. Would you like me to teach you." He said and looked at the lunch box in the bucket.

"No need, Mr. Yan, I just came out to play for a while." Zhang Yu hurriedly waved his hand and refused, making a joke, although he knew that the third master was not a bad person, he was just stingy and calculating.But he still thinks it's better to stay away. After all, he doesn't want to get involved in the right and wrong of the courtyard next door.

Furthermore, he came to fish not only to pass the time, but more importantly, to take out the fish obtained from the system check-in.

After digging a few earthworms, I found a place that I thought was not bad. I followed the video I watched before and learned how to make a nest. I tied the hook and line and hung up the fish.

It may be because of the good environment that he really caught a fish, because the fish was not big, and he was lifted up without slipping the fish.A crucian carp of about three or four taels made his mouth water.Good stuff, catch a few more and stew them with miso when you go back.

It may be the novice's law, or it may be that he was very lucky today and found a fish nest. After a while, he caught seventeen or eight crucian carp.

"Xiaoyu, master, you catch a lot." The third master, who has never caught any fish, wandered around and saw his small half bucket of crucian carp and the five-pound fish he took out from the system space. .His envious eyes were almost red, it would be great if he caught it, but after all, he is a teacher, and he still wants to save face in front of the students, so he didn't open his mouth to take advantage.

"Luck, luck, I'm fishing for the first time today, maybe it's good luck, Mr. Yan, I'll go back first, do you want to go back together?" Today's goal has been achieved, and someone has already testified to himself, The third master's mouth will definitely tell others.Establish a reputation for yourself as a master fisherman, and you will have an excuse to eat fish in the future.

"You go first, and I'll fish for a while." After Zhang Yu left, the third master picked up his fishing rod and bench, and moved to the place where Zhang Yu was sitting just now.

On the other hand, Zhang Yu returned home excitedly with half a bucket of fish. The excitement overwhelmed the discomfort of riding in the car, and he didn't get motion sickness.

"Gu, Gu, do you think I brought you something?" He shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the backyard.

"I'm back. I heard from Uncle Zhao that you went fishing. Did you catch it?" She came back from work today, but she didn't see Xiaoyu. It was Uncle Zhao, who was in charge of the courtyard, who told her that Xiaoyu went out with Tonghe fishing rod. up.It can be done from here, the hospital they live in is relatively harmonious, although his grandfather is more responsible.

"I caught it, look at it." He took the bucket and showed it to his aunt.

"Hey, there are still a lot of catches." Zhang Guifang burst out laughing looking at half a bucket of crucian carp and a big fish. "Go back and wash it. I will braise crucian carp with sauce for you tonight. It just so happens that your uncle brought a piece of tofu back from get off work, and then make crucian carp tofu soup. I think the big fish is still alive, so I will raise it for a day. It just so happens that your uncle Wang will come home tomorrow." As a guest, the main course is ready now."

When Zhang Guifang was cleaning crucian carp in the yard, she ran into a neighbor, "Guifang, where did you get the fish? It looks good."

"That kid Xiaoyu was fishing in the west, and he said he would add something to his uncle and me." Zhang Guifang said proudly with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yu, who came back to the house, heard his aunt's praise from the neighbors, saying that he didn't care, but in fact, the pride in the truth was almost flying, so he couldn't help laughing.He likes this kind of life, which is plain, with a little surprise, or a little food to make life more fulfilling and joyful.

Sure enough, at night, the family ate braised crucian carp in sauce and crucian carp tofu soup cooked by my sister-in-law.My stomach is rolling after eating, and the good words come out of my mouth one after another. "Little brother, you're not small! I'll go some other day too. Tell me how to fish?" As a fishing rod maker, Zhao Feng is a frequent player in the Air Force. Nine times I came back empty-handed, and once, I brought back a few small miscellaneous fish.In Gu's words, those few small fish are not fishy enough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing. "Brother, forget it. If I want to eat fish in the future, I will go fishing. Keep your fishing skills for yourself."

"Aren't you looking down on me? I've caught fish too, okay?" Zhao Feng threw himself at Zhang Yu, scratching his creaking nest.

"I can see it, I can see it, haha, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, aunt, help me, hahahaha..." Zhang Yu, who was unable to hide, trembling with laughter, began to beg for mercy.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Guifang couldn't help smiling when she saw the children making a fuss. What she hoped most was for the family to have a good relationship.

When the trouble was almost over, the sister-in-law rescued him from the hands of the elder brother.

Hiding in the arms of my sister-in-law, Zhang Yu had the courage to resist, "Brother, you don't have good fishing skills, so don't let people tell you."

"Come out if you have the ability, and see if I scratch you." Zhao Feng gritted his teeth looking at the younger brother who was being protected by his mother.

"No, I'm not going to be fooled by you. Come in if you have the ability." The children were chatting and laughing, and my sister-in-law and uncle were watching.
