59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang

On the way back, Chen Feng separated from them on the pretext of going around.

"Brother, wait for me."

Chen Hao followed him shamelessly.

"Why are you following me? Go back."

Chen Feng drove him away unceremoniously.

"Brother, I'll go play with you."

Chen Hao felt a little aggrieved.

Brother doesn't love me anymore!

"I'm going to see the wild ducks above the creek. What are you going to do? Go back and play."

Chen Hao went back disappointed.

Walking up along Zhoujiagou, he found a place where no one was, and Chen Feng took out the 26 duck eggs of the two mallards in the space.

The mallard duck placed in the space is a female duck, and it lays an egg almost every hour.

After the two ducks lay eggs, they either go to the field to drink well water or eat rice straw powder, bran, etc. in the fish pond, and then they lay eggs.

Chen Feng felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, there are two ducks, and they are female.

If a male duck is put in, the eggs will probably pile up into a mountain in a few days.

They can't eat them all!

There are also mallard ducks in Zhoujiagou, but there are none at the entrance of the village. They are always upstream of the stream, far away from human habitation.

Just on the bank of the stream, several villagers are holding a handful of bran and sprinkling it on the bank, using sticks to erect a bamboo chicken coop, and are trying to hunt wild ducks.

This kind of chicken coop is generally used to raise chickens, all made of thin, fingernail-wide, one or two meters long bamboo.

It is semi-spherical in shape, similar to an inverted bowl.

The bottom is a hollow circle with a diameter of more than one meter. The top is hollowed out, and a palm-sized round hole is exposed at the top, which is specially convenient for chicken farmers to spread rice for the chickens and watch the chickens.

If necessary, you can also directly reach in with a hand and grab the chickens inside.

The chicken cage covers the chickens inside, so the chickens can't run around and can only live obediently in the cage.

It is very difficult to catch wild ducks with this kind of chicken cage.

Wild ducks can easily overturn the cage, so they also tie stones around the cage with ropes.

Once the stick supporting the cage is pulled open, the stone presses on the cage, increasing the gravity.

When I came back, I saw skinny, malnourished children squatting at the entrance of the village playing in the mud.

They were all two or three-year-old little puddings. The older ones basically looked for food on the beach and in the fields.

When Chen Feng saw them, he met them and shared one of the duck eggs that he had originally planned to leave for his grandparents.

Anyway, we can't finish them all!

"Come here, one for each person."

Seeing the wild duck eggs in his hand, a group of children immediately surrounded him.

A pair of small eyes stared at the duck eggs in his hand.

"Take it, go back and ask your father to cook it for you."

"This is a wild duck egg, take it back and eat it."

"Thank you, brother."

Several old people watched this scene and watched Chen Feng take out duck eggs from his pocket one by one, and they were a little shocked.

Duck eggs are not cheap, even wild duck eggs.

Someone said: "Whose child is this? Where did so many eggs come from?"

"You are old and confused. You didn't hear that it was a wild duck egg. It should be a mallard. There were many mallards in the fields the day before yesterday. Xiaowu and his friends set up a trap and caught a few."

"This child doesn't seem to be from our village."

"It must be Zhou Qing's son. He came yesterday."

"The child is kind."

Twenty-four wild duck eggs, eighteen were distributed, and only six were left.

Just after the distribution, several adults were seen pulling children out.

"Tell me, who gave you the duck eggs?"

"Big brother, mother, I didn't steal the eggs."

The child felt wronged and almost cried.

Chen Feng walked over and said, "Auntie, I'm Chen Feng, my mother is Zhou Qing, I picked up wild duck eggs in the wild, and saw that my younger brothers were lacking in nutrition, so I wanted to supplement them, and I gave them these duck eggs."

"How can this be?" The visitor said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, I'm also half of Zhoujiagou, a wild duck egg is nothing, it's not laid by a chicken, picked up from outside, it's a business without capital."

Chen Feng said it several times before he explained it clearly to the adults who came one after another.

He didn't know until he went back that stealing, especially stealing food, in a village with the same surname like Zhoujiagou, it's easy for people to hold knives and stones to curse their ancestors.

Once discovered, the whole family will lose face and be very embarrassed.

So, these parents will take their children to confirm it again.

Go home and take out the six duck eggs.

The adults were surprised again.

"Just turn around.

After a round, he picked up a dozen duck eggs, and then gave them away at the entrance of the village? "

Chen Jianjun asked again.

"Dad, I'll say it one last time, yes!"

Chen Feng picked up the little girl to save her from climbing the stool again and again to see the fried leeks and duck eggs.

"Big pot, sugar."

The little girl wanted to eat sweets again.

"We'll eat later, no sugar water."

Dinner was exchanged for millet porridge, with rich dishes, including fried leeks and duck eggs, steamed bream, boiled saury and a plate of pork belly.

The pork belly was also exchanged by Chen Jianjun from the Yingbin Building in the city in the morning. It weighed three pounds, but only half a pound was cut.

"Dad, is our family so poor because you gave them all the money? "

Chen Hao held the bowl, sat at the table, and ate salted fish porridge.

He didn't understand his own father's behavior. It was obviously his own money, and he could live as well as other families, so why did he give it to others?

"You are still young, and you will know when you grow up."

Chen Jianjun added a piece of fish meat to his son.

The little girl was the happiest. Others ate knife fish, but she ate real sea bream without fish bones.

Fortunately, the little girl was sensible and did not forget the fisherman.

Took a spoon and gave the half-bitten fish meat to Chen Feng.

"Big pot, eat meat."

Chen Feng pushed it away unhappily.

"Eat it yourself."

"Thank you, big pot! "

The little girl ate it all in one gulp without hesitation.

The next day, my aunt continued to work on the fishing boat, and Zhou Jing fished in the deep ditch.

The fish caught on the job belonged to the commune, and the fish caught on the job belonged to his family.

It was not difficult to choose.

Because it was a collective fishing, and the fish caught had to be handed over to the commune to make up for the deficit of eating and drinking in previous years, the enthusiasm of the fishermen was very low.

If it were not for the work points involved, many people would not want to go at all.

Today, I was much luckier. I caught a lot of fish in the morning. Red snapper, black fish and hairtail are very popular in restaurants.

Because they are delicious, they are in short supply.

In the afternoon, Chen Jianjun and Zhou Jing took a detour and went to the Yingbin Building in the city from another small bridge to sell more than 100 kilograms of red snapper, black fish, etc.

The price of live fish is two levels higher than that of dead fish. The price of fish that have just died and fish that have been dead for more than an hour is much different.

Fresh fish like red snapper must be kept fresh in time and sold as soon as possible.

"Master Cao, there will be no problem selling so many?"

Chen Jianjun was a little worried.

The fat chef in the kitchen was very calm.

"Don't worry, we have to collect hundreds of kilograms of fish from various fishing villages every day. Your amount is nothing."

"Besides, not all of these unplanned fish are taken to the restaurant."

Master Cao whispered: "A lot of them are for some special customers. "

He pointed to the sky.

Chen Jianjun understood immediately.

Seafood is good, but there is not enough. The fish collected by the purchasing station are not only supplied to Tianjin, but also to nearby cities, such as Sijiucheng.

There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below.

Just because they can't get a share of the fish from the purchasing station doesn't mean they don't have channels to buy it.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, and not all fishermen are willing to hand it in or sell it to the purchasing station.

"Old rules, 80% in cash and 20% in grain?"

The logistics manager of Yingbin Road asked with a bag.

"Yes!"

Zhou Jing replied with a smile.

After settling the money and grain bills, the two of them walked back with two kilograms of third-grade pork ribs and more than ten kilograms of cornmeal.
