Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 23 Harvest
Most of Yu Liangzi does not go with the current, but some highly skilled people can also catch a lot of fish without going against the current.

Sheng Xiping is a master of Bieyu Liangzi, he can go with the current and against the current, and he can catch many fish at a time.

However, business is not allowed this year, and if there are too many caught, they can only be given away.

Moreover, Qianchuan Forest Farm is too far away from the town, and you have to take a small train to go out. Even if the fish can be sold, it is not worth the trip.

So although Sheng Xiping has this skill, he doesn't use it often.

I only catch a few fish occasionally, distribute them to the neighbors in the neighborhood, and keep some for myself.

The three brothers, with tin flashlights on, worked until almost eight o'clock, finally pinned Yu Liangzi, and then went home.

By the time they come in, the house is all tidied up, so it's time to go to sleep.

I have to go to work and school tomorrow, so what if I can’t get up late?
Before going to bed, Zhang Shuzhen didn't forget to scare her old son, telling him to call again tomorrow morning.

If he doesn't get up, he will cook something delicious tomorrow night, and Sheng Xitai won't eat anything.

When Sheng Xitai heard this, he got into bed in fright and quickly closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Sheng Xiping got up early in the morning, worked and went to the mountains during the day, was very tired, and fell asleep soon after lying down.

The next day it was still the big cock that woke Sheng Xiping up.

He carried the bucket to the river, filled the water tank at home first, and then went to the place where Yu Liangzi was not last night to see if there was any harvest.

As soon as I got to the river, I saw a fish, and jumped into the fish basket under the wicker curtain.

Sheng Xiping was overjoyed, and hurriedly rolled up his trousers and went into the water, walking to the middle of the river to check the harvest in Yu Liangzi.

The river in Qianchuan Forest Farm is the upper reaches of the Sandao Songhua River. Despite the hot weather in June, the river water is still very cold.

Especially early in the morning, not to mention the biting cold, it can make people shiver from the cold anyway.

It was cold when I first entered the water, and I got used to it after walking a few steps, so I quickly came to the middle of the river.

On the wicker curtains, fish, big and small, kept writhing and jumping.

The faint morning light reflected on the scales of the fish, reflecting silver light.

Sheng Xiping was not polite either, and picked up all the fish into the bucket, and then pulled half of the bucket of small miscellaneous fish.

Then, the bottom fixed fish basket was lifted out again.

The moment the fish basket came out of the water, Sheng Xiping took a look inside, hey, there are a lot of fish, it seems they are not small.

What kind of fish are there, but I can't see clearly.

In any case, the harvest was full, and Sheng Xiping was satisfied.

So they carried the fish baskets and buckets to the shore, and then turned around to close up the wicker curtains, and the stone walls were destroyed.

Then, with the bucket in one hand and the fish basket in the other, with the bundle of wicker curtains under his arm, he hurried home.

When Sheng Xiping walked into the house, he happened to see Zhang Shuzhen washing rice.

Sheng Xiping wanted to say, he quickly picked out the fish, squeezed some willow roots and so on, squeezed the belly and washed it clean.

Or stew it with miso, or go to the tofu shop to pick up a few pieces of tofu and stew together.

Put some pancakes on the side of the pot, and I can have a good meal again this morning.

But after thinking about it, forget it, that brat Sheng Xitai was late for the chicken stew yesterday.

If there is another fish in the sauce this morning, it is estimated that the bear thing will still be late.

For the sake of Sheng Xitai's teacher's health, let's deal with it with some porridge, don't be angry with the teacher.

So Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, just found a big basin and poured out all the fish in the fish basket.

In fact, the vitality of the fish is quite tenacious. Although it has been out of the water for a while, it is still alive and kicking when poured into a big basin.

There were all kinds of fish, big and small, in the basin. What surprised Sheng Xiping the most was that there were a few thin scales inside.

It's not too big, and it looks like it weighs more than a catty.

This is a good thing, a very precious cold-water fish with few spines, delicate meat and delicious taste.

It doesn't matter whether it's steamed or braised, even if it's simply marinated with salt and eaten on a tree branch, it's extra delicious.

In the past, when they were naughty, they caught fish and roasted them in the wild. One time they ate fish with thin scales.

That kind of white and delicate garlic clove meat is old and fragrant.

In addition to thin scales, there are also many willow roots, boat nails, white drifts and so on.

The willow roots are not small, and some are almost as thick as fingers.

Put some homemade miso on this stuff, stew it in a pot, it tastes great.

Other small miscellaneous fish can’t be eaten temporarily, you can squeeze your stomach, add a little less salt, and dry the fish in the sun.

Take it out in winter, fry it with less oil, and then cook it with some chili and vinegar, it will be crispy and ready to eat.

"Mom, let's cook a willow root in the afternoon and stew a thin scale. You can arrange the rest."

Sheng Xiping knows how to cook, but at present the mother is in charge of the house, so we still have to discuss with her what to eat.

Zhang Shuzhen just put the millet into the pot, and put the Gastrodia elata that was washed last night into it.

Hearing her son's words, she looked back at the fish in the big basin.

"Oh, this is a lot of arrests. Okay, I will do whatever you say, I can't lose face for you." Zhang Shuzhen smiled.

The son is capable, and she will cook the food all day long, so what's the problem?No one else wants to eat it yet.

"Aren't you sleepy after getting up so early? Otherwise, you can go back to the house and sleep in the cage. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Zhang Shuzhen felt sorry for Da'er's work, so she asked him to go back to the house and sleep.

"No need, Mom, I'll go to Uncle Hu's house and ask what the team is doing today."

Sheng Xiping looked at his watch, it was past 05:30, why would he go back to sleep at this time.

"Then catch some fish and bring it to your old Uncle Hu. Anyway, there are so many of them, and our family can't finish them."

Zhang Shuzhen glanced at the fish in the big basin and reminded her son.

Sheng Xiping was right when he thought about it. He is an educated youth now, working in the family team and under the supervision of others.

Although there is nothing wrong with others, but usually this relationship has to be maintained to be useful.

"Sure, then I'll grab some and send them to Uncle Hu."

As Sheng Xiping said, he found an enamel basin, fished some miscellaneous fish from the big basin, filled most of the basin and left.

Lao Hu, the captain of the family team, used to be a worker in the forest farm.

Forestry enterprises, especially forest farms, deal with wood all day long in front-line production.

Moreover, the wood felled from the virgin forest is not light, and it is normal to be injured.

When Lao Hu was working, he was accidentally hit by a piece of wood and hurt his little toe.

At that time, I was catching up with the production conference, and I was slightly injured, so I didn't care much, and continued to work after a simple treatment.

Unexpectedly, the affected area was accidentally infected, which eventually led to complications such as vasculitis and tetanus.

At first, the little toe was amputated, but the infection was still uncontrollable, and there was no way to amputate the other foot.

I still couldn't control it, and finally went to the provincial capital and had another operation, but at least it was controlled below the calf.

After Lao Hu was discharged from the hospital to recover, he went to Shanghai to have a prosthetic installed, and after training he was able to walk as usual.

It's just that he can't work on the front line anymore, so he was assigned to the family team in the field to lead people to work, and he was still paid according to the treatment of front-line workers.
