Hello 1983

  Chapter 196 A Laugh from the Sea

  Hai Dagui stayed in Jiapigou for one night, then left two villagers who were studying technology, and hurried back.

  Now is the peak season for picking wild vegetables, and it can last until mid-May at most. After passing this village, the shop will really disappear.

  When he left, he was still holding a catalog of wild vegetable purchases in his hand. The prices on it were really enviable.

  They can't get those pickled wild vegetables, but they can still recite dried vegetables such as dried weeds from the mountains.

   A catty of dried welts costs more than 20 yuan.

  Even if you are tired and vomiting blood, you must recite it!

  After sending Hai Dagui away, Liu Qingshan followed everyone up the mountain and continued to pick wild vegetables. After two days of hard work, he was forced to stop working.

   There is no way, the spring rain is falling, the rain is not too heavy, it is lingering, looking at this posture, it will not be clear for three or two days.

   It is not good to rely on the weather to eat. The wild vegetables picked the day before have no time to dry, and if they are put down, they will all rot.

   Those that can be marinated with salt should be marinated first, and the rest should be dried on the hot kang at home.

  There are too many wild vegetables to fit on the kang, so I can only pick up the valuable ones, and finally throw away the rest.

  The hard-picked wild vegetables were finally thrown into the gutter. Of course, everyone's mood became similar to the weather these days, and their faces were a little gloomy.

  Liu Qingshan was lying on the table, writing vigorously, occasionally raising his head to look at the strings of raindrops under the eaves.

  In addition to reviewing textbook knowledge, he also drafted two reports: one is about morels, and the other is to be handed over to the county to establish a wild vegetable processing factory.

  It is imperative to establish a wild vegetable processing factory, which is an industry that matches with picking wild vegetables.

   It can ensure that the picked wild vegetables are processed and stored in the first time, so as to avoid losses to the greatest extent.

  I have been busy all morning and finished the two proposals. The rest of the time is just reviewing my homework. On rainy days, the farm work has stopped, and I can’t do it even if I want to.

  Even if you go to the commune, you can’t drive a jeep, but the Great Liberation can. Liu Qingshan went to the boss’s uncle’s house.

  Give the plan to Zhang Liandi and ask her to deliver it to Secretary Sun of the commune when she goes to deliver the milk tomorrow morning.

  When I came out of the boss's uncle's house, I happened to meet Zhang Jizi head-on, and when I saw Liu Qingshan, I said angrily:

   "Qingshan, I'm looking for you. I've been free for the past two days. I'm bringing back all the langoustine from Jiangchazi. I dreamed last night that those treasures were being dragged home and set on fire!"

  Liu Qingshan kicked the mud twice with the boots on his feet, making a puffing sound:

   "I can't walk this road at all. It's more than 20 miles away. Are you going to carry it back?"

  The matter of road construction seems to have to be put on the agenda. It will turn into muddy soup when it rains, which is really too late.

  Zhang Jizi obviously had a plan, he said a few times:

   "A car is definitely not good, but we can go by boat. There is a motor boat on the other side of the reservoir. I wonder if I can borrow it?"

  Yes, forget about this.

  Liu Qingshan gave Zhang Shuzi a thumbs-up, called Datou, Erbiaozi, and the four younger brothers, and went straight to the reservoir.

  Jiapigou and the reservoir already had a good cooperative relationship, especially during the Chinese New Year last year, the fresh eggs and vegetables sent over were called reservoir workers, and they never forgot.

   Things like borrowing a boat are of course no problem. With a big wave of his head, Yu approved it directly.

   Liu Qingshan originally wanted to give some gas money, but he almost got kicked in the head by Yu:

   "I'll pay for this bit of gas money, who do you look down on, kid, get out!"

   Well, you are an elder and you are right.

  Liu Qingshan and the others boarded the boat, and Yu Laoqi, the youngest son of Yu Batou, sailed the boat from the reservoir into the Xiaosong River, and then went upstream.

  The misty rain on both sides of the strait, the fishing boats brave the wind and waves, but it is also a bit poetic.

  Liu Qingshan chatted with Yu Laoqi: "Seventh brother, there are three heroes of the Ruan family in Water Margin. When will you call your third brother and fifth brother, and there will also be three heroes of the Yu family here in Songjiang."

  Yu Lao Qishilang was old, he just got married last year, and he didn’t change his temper as a young man. He laughed out loud when he heard this:

   "You have to find a place for the green mountain. When the water is mooring Liangshan, let's gather a group of heroes."

   "Stop, if you continue, the police will arrest us all."

  Liu Qingshan hurriedly called a stop, and Yu Laoqi's big eyeballs slammed a few times: "Then we are recruiting security?"

  Haha, everyone laughed.

  The boat was full of young men, and they couldn't stay idle. Er Biaozi raised his voice and began to sing first.

  Singing, you can sing well, and you still hold your throat to imitate a female voice: "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows rice and flowers on both banks..."

  Zhang Baozi hugged his arms and shuddered a few times: "Stop quickly, I have goose bumps all over my body."

  The light rain in the sky has been rushing down. Although I am wearing a raincoat, I still feel a little cool.

  The big head hugged his belly even more: "Seventh brother, is there a urinal on the boat, I want to pee?"

  I hate Er Biaozi so much, I really want to kick this guy into the water: This guy is so wilted, he speaks irritatingly, he is a wilted carrot, and he is hot-hearted.

   "If you want a urinal on the boat, urinate in the water." Yu Lao Qi replied.

  The big head moved to the stern of the boat, and the sound of rushing water sounded immediately. He really didn't deliberately bury Er Biaozi, but the main reason was that when the weather was cold, he would urinate more.

  After sprinkling the water, Datou was really afraid that Er Biaozi would sing again, so he said to Liu Qingshan: "Sanfeng, you sing a song, you sing very well."

  Er Biaozi was depressed again: Did I sing badly just now?

  Liu Qingshan is also idle and free, and opens his mouth to come: "The sea laughs, the tides on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs follow the waves and only remember the present... Jiangshan laughs, the mist and rain are far away, the waves wash away how many beauties in the world of mortals..."

  The other people on the boat, who have never heard this kind of song, just feel the pride in their chests, and just want to howl a few times.

  After listening to Liu Qingshan sing once, they also started to sing along, and for a while, ghosts and wolves on the fishing boat howled.

   "This is the man's song, so exciting!"

  Yu Lao Qi feels extremely comfortable now. This feeling is even better than finishing things with his wife at night.

   "Sanfeng, where did you learn the song?" Er Biaozi was also completely convinced.

   "On the other side of Hong Kong Island, Uncle Zhan's song." Liu Qingshan doesn't like to plagiarize, to tell the truth, although Uncle Zhan hasn't created this song yet.

  The big head suddenly patted the side of the boat: "It would be great if there was wine, this kind of song should be sung while drinking, it must be enjoyable."

  Liu Qingshan chuckled twice: "wow, there is really wine."

   After speaking, he pulled out the yellow schoolbag in the cabin, and took out two bottles of Bishui Daqu.

  I didn’t have lunch when I came here, and the weather was cold, so Liu Qingshan brought two bottles of wine.

   "There's wine, that's great, let me have some appetizers!" Yu Lao Qi's eyes lit up.

  There is a small trawl net and a large fishing net on the boat, but casting a net is a technical job. Except for him, the remaining four people really can't come.

  Then trawl the net first, and when the fishing boat reaches Jiangchazi, Yu Laoqi stops the boat on the shore and starts casting the net.

   With a bang, the fishing net forms a standard circle and enters the water. This hand is enough for ordinary people to practice for three to five years.

   "It's not as good as my father. My father can judge the fish under the water according to the current of the river."

  Yu Laoqi was muttering while pulling in the net, and when he pulled the fishing net back, there were several big bright white fish in it, struggling non-stop.

   "Haha, the harvest is good, and there are a few cocked mouths in the net." Yu Laoqi sorted out the fish in the net, and threw two of them back into the river.

  He still explained in his mouth: "These two are female fish."

  Liu Qingshan gave him a thumbs up: This is the real fisherman.

  Then they opened up the remaining three cocked-mouthed fish and removed their gills. The cocked-mouthed fish was their local name, and the official name was "Songjiang White Fish". In ancient times, they were all specially paid for tribute.

  It's cold here, and the fish grow slowly. A 67-year-old white fish only weighs more than three catties.

  White fish has a slender body and the front end of the mouth is upturned, so it is called cocked mouth.

  Yu Lao Qi also picked up the prickly-mouthed fish while muttering: "In March, the peach blossoms bloom in the river, and the white fish come out fresh and plump."

  Kaijiang fish, of course, is the most delicious.

  On the other side, Er Biaozi and the others also collected the small trawl net, which was full of small fish and shrimps, and there were also a few large crucian carp and melon seeds, most of which fell out of the basin.

  There is a kerosene stove on the fishing boat, and some river water is directly scooped up, and the Songjiang white fish is stewed. There is no seasoning on the boat, so I put some salt.

   This is called stewed river fish in river water. It is eaten in a purely original way. The stewed fish is the freshest.

  Picked out the prawns separately and fried them on a large plate. Liu Qingshan found a few shallots and some willow sprouts by the river.

   Stir-fried shrimp with shallots and stewed fish with willow wormwood sprouts, just two dishes, although simple, but full of mountain flavor.

  In the misty rain, five people sat down on the beach by the river, picked up a few pieces of driftwood.

  One shrimp, one sip of wine.

  A wild vegetable, and another sip of wine.

   I don’t know who it is, and sang first with a broken voice: "Canghai laughs..."

   Sing a few lines, and take a full sip with the wine bottle.

  The misty and rainy riverside reverberates with the pride and passion of young people.

  In the past two days, the depression caused by the rain has completely drifted away with the singing.

  I ate enough food, but I didn’t drink enough wine. I’m in a good mood, and I seem to be able to drink better than usual.

  At the end of the meal, I even drank up the fish soup. I have to say that the stewed river fish in river water is delicious.

  Then it's time to work. According to Zhang Shuzi's proposal, these waves need to be carefully selected, and the favorite ones should be transported back.

  But Liu Qingshan waved his hand very simply: "Take them all back. As for the carvings, I will think about it later."

   This kind of free resources, even in this era, can still be encountered. If it is put in decades, will it still be your turn?

   On the Jiangwan side, I don’t know that it has been alluvial for decades, and there are hundreds of pieces of driftwood gathered at least. It seems that a boat will definitely not be able to transport it back.

  After the cabin was full, Liu Qingshan led Er Biaozi and Datou to collect the driftwood here, and Yu Laoqi and Zhang Shuzi first transported it back to the boat.

   It will be unloaded to the shore of Xiaosong River near Jiapigou. If you have time, it will be slowly transported to the village, anyway, it will only be more than two miles away.

  Liu Qingshan and his younger brothers were left to move all the waves in the distance to the riverside, so that it would be convenient for loading at that time.

   Liu Qingshan has the strongest strength, so he can carry it by himself.

  Big Tou and Er Biaozi worked together to lift some larger waves.

   Seeing these grotesque waves, the two younger brothers also exclaimed again and again. Er Biaozi pointed to the river not far away and shouted:

   "Look at the big head, that tree root is fun, does it look like a woman, maybe it can carve a mermaid from a fairy tale?"

  Datou was a little dizzy from drinking, and nodded his head vigorously: "Well, it really looks alike, look at that chest, it's bigger than my partner's..."

   Speaking of this, he quickly stopped and patted his head with his hands: "Hey, I drank too much, talking nonsense."

   "You boy, you are dishonest."

  Er Biaozi was walking, thinking: Do I have to torture this guy?

  Liu Qingshan was struggling to walk towards the riverside with a big tree root in his arms, and then he heard Er Biaozi's exclamation, which was sent along the river wind:

   "Sanfeng, hurry up... come here quickly, someone is drowning here!"

  ———

  Work hard to break out, I hope everyone can support it, there is still more than a hundred more to add, if you have a monthly pass, please give it to me!

  One thousand is not far away, one thousand and two should be no problem, right?
