59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang

The old man was very happy.

"Xiao Feng, ride your bike tomorrow and sell these cabbages to the Yingbin Building."

Seeing him coming with the rabbit, grandpa hurried over and said, "Take this rabbit to the market and sell it. You can keep the money, but remember not to eat it! We just ate two rabbits two days ago. As a human being, you must learn to cherish your blessings and not be greedy!"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment.

Is eating rabbit a blessing?

I haven't mentioned the extremely delicious barbecued rabbit meat yet!

It would be even more perfect if it were paired with a glass of iced beer or refreshing juice~

"Grandpa, what about the rabbit skin?"

The old man hesitated. There were several clothes at home, all sent by Chen Jianjun.

However, if the rabbit is big, it can be made into a hat and gloves for Zhou Jing to facilitate going out to sea in winter.

The Bohai Sea will freeze over a large area in winter, but this year there is a shortage of food, so it is definitely necessary to break ice and catch fish near the coast.

If there is a set of rabbit skin gloves, hats, etc., it will be much more comfortable.

"Okay, sell the rabbit and keep the skin."

Chen Feng: "..."

"Grandpa, have you and grandma ever tried to make fish skin clothes before? I heard that clothes made of fish skin are both warm and durable. If you wear such clothes, you will definitely feel very special."

"And fish skin clothes are also waterproof, which can keep the body dry in rainy days or humid environments."

"How can fish skin be made into clothes? It will rot if you pull it." The old man smiled and shook his head.

Chen Feng sighed in his heart. A piece of fish skin clothing would cost thousands of yuan in the future, but no one knows about it now.

The Hezhe people in Northeast China have been using fish skin to make clothes for more than 2,000 years. It is said that fish skin clothing is light, warm, wear-resistant and waterproof, and is a good companion for the Hezhe people's fishing and hunting life.

Relying on fish skin clothing, the Hezhe people have survived in the Northeast at minus 30 degrees for 2,000 years.

"Grandma, it can be made."

Coincidentally, Chen Feng first learned about fish skin clothing in his previous life.

At that time, Northeast China was developing tourism, and a group of children in Guangxi became Internet celebrities and started an adventure tour in Northeast China.

Stimulated by the "small sugar oranges" in Guangxi, he and his girlfriend went to Northeast China for a trip.

Then, under the brainwashing of the tour guide, his girlfriend bought several pieces of fish skin clothing and prepared to take them back to school to show off. He knew the general production craftsmanship of this kind of clothing.

Peel off the fish skin, air dry for ten days, remove the fish scales, scrape the oil with flour, beat with a wooden mallet, and sew the fish skin.

"I have seen the production method in Beihai Library, which is to make leather clothes with fish skin, suitable for keeping warm in winter."

This is a true story.

The original body did see a travel note in Beihai Library.

This is a diary written by a scholar who entered the Northeast during the late Qing Dynasty and could not stand the severe cold and re-entered the border. It talks about the detailed production process.

Seeing his serious look, Grandpa asked in confusion, "Is it really possible?"

Chen Feng was not sure either, and said, "The book says that there is a nation in the Northeast that has used fish skin clothing for thousands of years, but the Hezhe people mainly use salmon."

"Every year from July to November, salmon in Heilongjiang will swim upstream into rivers to spawn, becoming the main food source for ethnic minorities in the Northeast."

"Adult salmon are relatively large, with a body length of 50-100 cm, so the peeled fish skin is also relatively large and does not need to be sewn many times."

Grandpa's eyes lit up and he said happily, "Fish from the Northeast can be made, and fish from our Bohai Sea can definitely be made too. Salmon is long, and our knife fish is not bad either!"

The current Bohai knife fish is not the 20-40 cm that will be farmed in the future. Wild adult knife fish are generally around 60 cm (nearshore, not young fish caught in shallow waters).

The only question is whether the knife fish skin is tough enough to be made into outerwear. If not, can it be made into underwear?

Thinking of this, he wanted to catch hundreds of adult knife fish immediately.

"Xiao Feng, do you know how to make it?"

Chen Feng nodded and gave the rabbit to Zhou Dinghai.

"I'll go to the room to write it down tonight."

"No, write it now. When you're done, I'll go to the clan leader." Grandpa couldn't wait to say. "This is very important!"

Chen Feng had no choice but to go into the room and write down every detail according to his memory, and also drew a few pictures.

Zhou Dinghai put the rabbit in the duck cage.

"Grandpa, do you want to kill the rabbit?"

"Of course not, keep it with some vegetable leaves and sell it tomorrow." Grandpa dug

He picked up a big cabbage and said distressedly: "Cut the leaves and feed them to the rabbits."

"Well, take some small yellow croakers and clams to feed the ducks first."

Feeding ducks with small yellow croakers and clams can only be done now.

Low grain prices hurt farmers, and low fish prices hurt fishermen.

For fishermen, these small fish that cannot be sold are better eaten by themselves and fed to ducks.

Chen Feng took out straw paper and handed it to the old man.

"You stay at home, I will go to the clan leader."

"Cousin, can fish skin clothes really be made?" Zhou Dinghai held a small dustpan with dried small yellow croakers and clams in it.

"I don't know, I hope it can be done."

Chen Feng chuckled.

If the fish skin clothes are successfully made, according to the current powerful official power, it will be easy to promote them along the coast.

However, he remembered that the tour guide said that carp skin and striped fish can be made into clothes and pants.

If carp can be made, there is no reason why knife fish can't!

Not to mention making a tough outer garment, it can always be made into underwear to keep warm.

After dark, grandpa came back. Seeing his happy look, he seemed to be very sure about this matter.

"Where is your father?"

Zhou Dinghai was lying in front of the kerosene lamp, flipping through the picture book brought by Chen Feng for the Nth time.

"He is still riding a bicycle outside."

"Let him come back. It's so dark. What if he breaks the bicycle?"

The old man cursed angrily: "You are so old, but you are not as good as a child."

After a while, Zhou Jing came back on a bicycle with Zhou Fubo.

"Why are you sweating?"

"Don't mention it. Your eldest son is too heavy!"

"My son is not your son?"

Aunt retorted, looked at the happy Zhou Fubo, and said: "Don't play, get water to wash your feet and go to bed."

After dark in the evening, someone from the village came, knocked on the door, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then my uncle went out.

Chen Feng opened the door, and grandpa and aunt were standing at the door.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"To catch knife fish, one person from the whole village has to go."

Grandpa said, "If your method works, our village can make hundreds of fish skin clothes before December, and no one will get sick or frostbitten this winter."

What a great execution.

Chen Feng was surprised.

Of course, this is also thanks to the large number of wild knife fish in the Bohai Sea.

And knife fish cannot be sold at a high price on the shore because of its many thorns.

At midnight, there was silence all around, only one or two dog barks occasionally broke the silence.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the door, and then the door was slowly pushed open, and a figure appeared at the door - it turned out to be Zhou Jing's return!

He was carrying a sack on his back and holding a heavy fish bucket in his hand, which was filled with more than ten kilograms of prawns.

These prawns were large, plump, and crystal clear, swimming in the fish bucket.

"Where did all these shrimps come from?" asked my aunt.

Zhou Jing's face was filled with a smile of pride and satisfaction, and he said with a hint of excitement: "Everyone thanks Xiaofeng for this great idea! Someone asked me what he liked to eat the most, and I just casually said 'shrimp', and they didn't say anything and asked me to bring these shrimps back for him to taste!"

As he spoke, he gently shook the wooden barrel full of fresh shrimps in his hand, as if it contained not only food, but also a heavy gratitude.

Perhaps this was just a small move, but it made Chen Feng, who was not asleep yet, feel the gratitude and kindness of the village.

"Hehe, if the fish skin jacket can be made, our family can walk sideways in the commune in the future."

"The fishermen of the entire Tianjin Port should thank Xiaofeng!"
