The children were lured by the candy in Zhou Dinghai's mouth.

The younger cousin was naturally unwilling to share the candy with them, even if they were cousins, uncles, and grandfathers.

It's okay to pay respects, but it's not okay to share candy.

Chen Feng didn't want them to stare at him, so he said, "You want candy, right?"

"Yes!"

"How about this, my uncle is short of some firewood, you go pick up some firewood, the more firewood, the more candy."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Can you pick up firewood?"

"Yes!"

A group of children said happily.

"Well, I'll give you a candy first, and then you go collect firewood."

Chen Feng gave each of them a candy deposit, and fooled them all away with a few words.

The countryside can't afford coal, let alone natural gas and biogas.

Children aged five or six basically have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

There is a small pine forest behind Zhoujiagou, and the fallen leaves in the forest are the best firewood.

In addition, dry straw, shrubs, and wild grass on the seashore are all fuel for fishing villages.

"Cousin, we have firewood at home." Zhou Dinghai said distressedly.

Chen Feng said contemptuously: "Stupid, let me ask you, if you don't let them collect firewood, who will be responsible for your family's firewood?"

Zhou Dinghai said stupidly: "My brother and I, and now grandma is taking us with us."

This fool has not come to his senses yet.

Chen Feng shook his head. The little cousin's IQ is not enough, even more stupid than Chen Hao.

He patted his shoulder.

"So, you are willing to pick up firewood?"

Zhou Dinghai thought for a moment and said firmly: "I think sugar is more important."

"Because at home, even if there is enough firewood, grandma will not let me idle, I might as well go pick up firewood and eat sugar by the way."

It seems to be the truth!

Chen Feng was speechless.

"Cousin, you are not easy!"

Zhou Dinghai nodded and said flatteringly: "Cousin, how much sugar do you have left, give it to me."

"Get lost!"

Only Zhou Dinghai was there, Chen Feng was too lazy to waste the water of the Sun Well, although this thing recovers very quickly.

Since he was a good man last time and saved many people, it seems that his good luck has been greatly enhanced, and his wealth and peach blossoms are particularly prosperous. Every time he goes out, he can pick up a few cents and meet a few beauties.

You say Zhang Xiaohua is a coincidence, then Pang Hongmei chose the place where he roasted pheasants on the road of hundreds of kilometers.

How can it be described with just one word!

Lifting the pole, a small yellow croaker was hanging on the hook.

Chen Feng secretly cursed.

To him, the yellow croaker tasted good, but it was too small.

A wild yellow croaker usually weighed only about 100 to 200 grams, or about 30 to 40 grams, and was about 12 to 13 centimeters long. It was much smaller than the farmed yellow croaker of later generations, and its color was also much lighter.

In the era when there was no shortage of food, the yellow croaker was generally used by fishermen to feed chickens and ducks.

There was no way, no one liked to eat the yellow croaker, the price was not high, and there was not much meat.

Wouldn't it be more delicious to eat the yellow croaker, sea bream, etc. that were full of meat in one bite?

If it weren't for the famine, few people would eat this stuff.

Take off the fishhook, throw the yellow croaker into Zhou Dinghai's fish bucket, and cast the hook again. In less than ten seconds, another fish was caught.

"Another yellow croaker?"

"Will it attract a school of yellow croaker?"

Yellow croaker is a warm-temperate bottom-dwelling schooling migratory fish, generally inhabiting soft mud or muddy sea areas, and sometimes you can encounter it on the Bohai Sea now.

The premise is good luck!

Zhou Dinghai saw that his fishing rod had moved, and he quickly lifted the rod. Sure enough, it was another yellow croaker of about ten centimeters.

"Haha, cousin, as expected, you are here, I can catch fish."

Seeing his happy look, Chen Feng was also happy.

When encountering a school of yellow croaker, basically you have to lift the rod every ten seconds.

With the help of the little cousin, in just one hour, the buckets carried by the two were all full.

Most of them were yellow croakers, and Chen Feng also caught more than a dozen prawns, two sea breams and a black fish.

There is no way, there are not many shallow-water aquatic animals in the Bohai Sea, unlike the Zhoushan fishing grounds, which are so rich.

"Let's go home!"

Hanging two wooden barrels, one large and one small, on the bicycle with ropes, Zhou Dinghai followed behind him, holding two fishing rods and holding candy in his mouth.

When he came back, he saw piles of firewood in the small yard in front of his house.

Seven or eight children aged three or four were sitting in front of their own firewood.

Seeing Chen Feng and Zhou Dinghai approaching, they held firewood one by one.

"It's mine. My brother said you are not allowed to come over."

"Haha

, it will be mine soon!" Zhou Dinghai said proudly.

Chen Feng stopped his bicycle, looked at the group of children who were guarding firewood like their lives, took out the small yellow croakers that were beginning to change color, and teased them: "Really, who is willing to give me firewood, I will exchange it with sugar."

"I don't want to eat it!"

A child swallowed his saliva and said.

"I want to eat it!"

The other children were tempted.

"Haha, I'll change it later." Chen Feng laughed.

"Cousin, look, the fish has changed color again."

Zhou Dinghai showed off: "Cousin, my father said that this kind of fish that turns white is called small yellow croaker. ”

The yellow croaker itself has yellowish and whiteish colors. Some are naturally yellow, golden and very beautiful.

Some are white, and the color is not much different from that of the white croaker.

But overall, the color of the large yellow croaker is darker, and the small yellow croaker is not very obvious.

In addition, the color of the fish is related to the time of fishing.

Because the yellow croaker contains a yellow pigment that will be decomposed when exposed to light, if it is caught during the day, there is sufficient light. After the yellow croaker is exposed to the sun after being out of the water, the yellow croaker will fade to white all over.

If it is caught at night, the light is very weak, and they will be dehydrated. If the fish dies immediately, the color will be well preserved and the yellow croaker will turn into a beautiful golden color.

Therefore, in order to highlight its golden characteristics and increase the price, it is caught at night.

The farmed yellow croaker is cheap, so there are not so many requirements and the color is not so beautiful.

In order to increase the price, many vendors in later generations deliberately use various special substances to dye the yellow croaker yellow, so that it is convenient to sell it at a high price.

Of course, there are also many fake yellow croakers.

How can ordinary people tell whether the yellow croakers at the barbecue stalls are real or fake.

"Did you encounter a group of yellow croakers?"

Grandma saw the fish that Chen Feng poured into the wooden basin and said happily: "The yellow croaker is not bad."

Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

The yellow croaker does not have much meat and is too small. It is usually used for braised and barbecue, but this requires a lot of oil.

"Grandma, I will go to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy some oil later. I will cook today's dinner."

The old man smiled and agreed.

"Okay, do it as you like. "

After more than ten minutes, a large group of children came to Zhou's house with firewood.

Chen Feng came out and gave two or three candies to each child based on the amount of firewood.

"Do you need more firewood tomorrow?"

A group of carefree and happy children immediately looked at him.

"You are a little smart."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, continue to exchange tomorrow until my grandma's house has enough firewood."

"Oh, great."

They happily took the candies home.
