The happy daily life of crossing

Chapter 16 Preparing for Fishing
Chuntao turned her head when she heard the sound, and Gong Yatou was standing behind her, with a basket filled with kelp on her back.

"Do you have a good idea?" Chuntao asked.

"If you do this, first wet the net, hold it more smoothly, then put the net rope on your hands, pay attention to my hands, whether to cast or not, or the net will be entangled in the city, you do this"

Gong Yatou demonstrated to Chuntao in person that she caught a half-sized fish with this net.

Chuntao tried two more times under her guidance, but she didn't get any of them, but she was proficient in her movements.

"There are no big fish on the beach this time, and the tide is catching up. This is luck. My mother hasn't come here for a long time. If you want to catch fish, you still have to go to sea. After a while, the fishing moratorium will come. It can't be fished."

"Girl, thank you. You caught this fish, so I'll give it to you." Chuntao pointed to the small fish on the beach.

She also wanted to understand that the second uncle deliberately asked her son to buy such a net so that she would not be able to catch it. The effect of hanging fish on the beach is better than fishing nets.

The fish hanging only needs to be lowered into the water, and the fish will hang on it when it touches it. When the time comes, you don’t need to watch it, but the fishing net must be cast down. From the perspective of time, the fishing net is not suitable for offshore fishing. The uncle just bullies Chuntao and doesn't understand anything.

"You're welcome, my house has dried a lot of dried fish, you can take it back, then, do you eat kelp, let's pick some kelp and go back?"

"It's done." Anyway, you can't catch any fish, so it's better to chat with her and use clichés.

This girl is honest, she can say whatever you ask her. Hearing that Chuntao intends to go fishing, she enthusiastically introduces her to the latest high and low tide times.

Gong Yatou often comes to hang fish at home, and she knows the tides very well. This sea area is shallow. If you want to catch fish, it's best to go when the tide is high, and there are more fish.

She seems to like spring peaches very much. The two of them searched for kelp floating up along the coastline. The sea is very clean and free from pollution, and the kelp floating up can also be eaten. They picked dark brown thick ones, which are long-grown and thin gray. The green ones are not growing well, and if there are no white spots, they are rotten.

Chuntao thought that what she saw at the beach before was all smell of industrial gasoline, and she couldn't eat it.

"Sister Yu—"

"You can just call me Chuntao." This painful title.
"Chuntao, get up early tomorrow. When the tide goes out, you can pick yellow clams. Will you come? No one in our village likes to eat that stuff, but I really like it." They all grew up by the sea, these things I have eaten enough, and many people are not rare to eat.

"Okay, I like to eat too." Spicy fried yellow clams~
When Chuntao went back with the small fish and a few pieces of kelp, she would have to make dinner too.

Lai Xinghua saw her and came back with a small broken fish, a little unhappy.

"You can't finish all the vegetables in the field. You're busy with such a crap all day. If you have that time, you might as well go with me to plant in the field."

"I don't have time." Chuntao casually put down the fish, and then set up the net to dry.

Speaking of which, the fish was not caught, but the net was tainted with a fishy smell. She frowned in disgust, smelling her body, it was time to take a bath.

How to get rid of the smell on the fisherman's body and keep the red blood on his face from being blown by the sea wind is a very deep problem.

"How can you be so lazy? You spend time by the sea all day long. Every daughter-in-law in eight villages counts as one. I have never seen such a lazy person like you. You don't do anything at home, just want to be lazy."

"Then you've seen it now."

Chun Tao's words didn't anger Lai Xinghua to death.

"You are not afraid of making the villagers laugh to death if you spread the word like this! Any daughter-in-law who dares to contradict her mother-in-law will be laughed to death when she speaks out!"

Lai Xinghua is the mother-in-law who has taken care of her for many years under this strong belief, although occasionally she feels a little annoying.

"Those who are afraid of being laughed at are those who are not confident enough. Let me tell you that maybe you don't understand, but I have my own rules for doing things. If I should do what I should do, don't ask me what I should do. Other people's opinions. It’s not important to me.” She’s just staying overnight,

"You!" Lai Xinghua was about to die of anger.

Chuntao washed her hands and processed the kelp, boiled it, cut it into shreds, put some red pepper, the focus is on garlic, she doesn’t like the taste of garlic, but it’s not good to make this without garlic. I will mix it with garlic water and add some sesame oil and vinegar. It is very refreshing in summer.

When she was cooking, Lai Xinghua stood at the door and looked into the distance, her eyes were a little confused.

“I can’t eat the stew tomorrow”

"Buy it if you're gluttonous, don't you take all the money from friend Da Hai?" Chun Tao said casually as she added firewood to the stove pit.

"You stupid Chuntao!" Lai Xinghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, gave her a glare and entered the room.

God horse situation?

When Xiao Miao came back, she sat on the steps sullenly, and Chuntao found out after asking.

If nothing happened to Yu Hai, this should be the time for him to start his salary. This man will post money to his family every month, and he is very punctual. After taking the money, Lai Xinghua will cut some meat for his family and buy some fish. There are always several times a month. Improve life at home.

It is said that this is also rigidly stipulated by Yu Hai, fearing that his younger brother will not be well nourished when he grows up. This can be regarded as an upper-middle living standard in the village.

A few days have passed since the news of Yu Hai's death, and life seems to continue, but the longing he left for his family cannot be appeased.

It's not a matter of eating some meat to improve their lives, and the family's hope of a better life is gone.

Chuntao sees Xiao Miao's sadness in his eyes, it's time to use his own system, although there is no way to make up for the pain of losing his brother, but he can always comfort him.
The next day, Chuntao met Gong Yatou at the entrance of the village with a seemingly useless fishing net.

It was just before four o'clock, and the sky was only dimly lit. Gong Yatou saw that she was carrying a huge basket and fishing net, and she was a little puzzled.

"Chuntao, what are you doing with the net? If you can't catch fish, let's pick some yellow clams at low tide."

"Take a chance."

Chuntao's faint smile hides her confidence.

She twisted her hips and called the system last night while everyone was asleep, and this time she got something good in exchange.

A small fishing net for 1 fish coin, and a super bait for 3 fish coins.

This bait is very effective, as long as it is sprinkled a little, it can attract all the nearby fish. She doesn't have many fish coins in her hand, so she can only buy the least one. It is said that it can attract 2000 catties of fish.

This bait can be used in batches, so Chuntao only plans to use a little. As long as she can get 200 catties of this net, she will not lose money, because 100 catties of fish can be exchanged for 1 fish coin, and after deducting the cost of bait, the remaining fish will be at least There are 70 catties that can be sold for money.

(Thanks to Mu Ziyan 22 for the reward of the peace talisman!)
