Return to the red age

Chapter 22 Fish Catch

Liu Hai originally thought that he was early, but he found that some farmers were earlier than him. The grass on the edge of Liangma River was very dewy and cold.

Turtle doves and other things could be seen in the farmland, and Liu Hai quickly picked up the slingshot.

puff!

One turtle dove was knocked to the ground, and the rest of the turtle doves flew up immediately. Turtle doves usually form a group.

Liu Hai took Turtle Dove with him and continued walking to the river.

By the time we got to the spot we were looking for yesterday, we had already shot two turtle doves and a sparrow.

When I came to the place where the fish cage was placed, I took out the fish cage, threw a piece of flour mixed with eggs into it, and put the fish cage in a hidden place.

"I'm fighting for a bite to eat." Liu Hai murmured in his heart. At this time, the supplies were still okay. Last year was a bumper harvest. In the next two years, these birds will probably suffer.

Liu Hai was waiting near the factory with five turtle doves and three sparrows. When he saw his master, he hurried forward.

"Master, this is for you." Liu Hai opened the sack and gave Yang Hehua a look and said.

"Ah, you left so early?" Yang Hehua asked, seeing that half of his bangs and pants were wet.

"Master, I'm leaving first. I'm in charge of the food over there. These are for you to eat." Liu Hai nodded, and then gave the sack to Yang Hehua.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight." Yang Hehua said quickly.

"We'll talk about it tonight. I'll take care of it later when I have time."

The main reason is that Liu Hai lives a bit far away, in Nanluogu Lane, and the factory is on Xiejie Street outside Dongzhimen, a few kilometers away.

By the Liangma River, a dozen young people were doing morning exercises. It was cold at first. It gets warm after practicing for a while.

Wait until the sun comes out, get in the water and continue practicing. The water is not cold. It's very cold, but there's nothing we can do about it, this is our mission.

My bangs performed very well in the morning, so the coach stopped staring at my bangs. At noon, I still had braised pork, steamed buns, and rice.

After everyone had a rest after eating, Liu Hai took out his slingshot and wandered around. There were people plowing the fields in the distant farmland. Although there were birds and other things in the plowed fields, there were also cats and dogs. Liu Hai saw with his own eyes a cat scratching caught a wild pigeon.

Sparrow bangs are not uncommon, they have less flesh and are much smaller.

At the end of the afternoon training, the coach praised Liu Hai: "You are a good young man. He is making rapid progress."

"Thank you, coach." Liu Hai replied while washing his swimsuit.

The coach rode away on his bicycle, and Liu Hai went to find his fish cage. The fish cage was under a water plant by the river. Although there were people fishing nearby, no one saw it.

Wow!

When Liu Hai picked up the cage, there was a roar inside, including crucian carp, loach, and two carp weighing more than a pound. The whole thing weighed at least several kilograms.

"The young man is pretty good."

"What is this, young man?"

"Young man, can you sell this fish?"

When several uncles saw the cage that Liu Hai had raised, they immediately came over and asked.

Liu Hai shook his head and said: "Uncle, I don't sell it, I eat it myself."

"You can eat so much, sell me one of these carp." An old man looked at these fish and said.

"Uncle, if not, I'll give you a carp, and you can give me a fishing rod with a fishing line or something." Liu Hai's heart moved. He really couldn't eat so much. The old man seemed to want to buy it, so he said.

"Okay, I'll bring you one tomorrow." When the uncle heard this, he immediately agreed.

Making a fishing rod is very troublesome, especially if it is made by hand. During the bamboo cutting season, you have to straighten it and dry it in the shade. Although it is not valuable, it takes a long time and is tedious. Of course, you can just find one.

The current fishing line is also difficult to make. Most of them use cotton thread, and nylon thread is not easy to make. This needs to be imported and will not be produced domestically until the end of this year.

Liu Hai chose a big carp for the old man, and the old man happily stuffed it into his fish basket.

"Young man, did you make this fish cage yourself?" Several other uncles looked at the fish cage carefully. The workmanship was very rough.

"Yes, sir."

"Yeah." The uncles looked at it carefully and understood that this thing can be shipped.

I’m not afraid of others looking at my bangs. The craftsmanship of this thing is not complicated, it can be said to be very simple.

Liu Hai took out two small fish, killed them and threw them into the fish cage. Then he placed the fish cage in front of everyone and placed it in another place on the shore.

"Uncle, let's go." Liu Hai put the fish into the cloth bag, said hello and left.

"Tsk, tsk, is this kid stupid, doing it in front of us?"

"Bah. I'm a gentleman." Several old men quickly went to get willow sticks and made fish traps while fishing.

At the entrance of the factory, Yang Hehua saw Liu Hai and quickly greeted: "Xiao Liu."

"Master, I won't go. The fish I caught, this big carp is for you." Liu Hai opened the bag and took out another carp. Freshwater carp in the north are more delicious than those in the south, so eating carp in the north is That's the right way, the rest are scum.

"This..." Yang Hehua was dumbfounded and looked at the carp in the net bag, which came with a lunch box.

"Master, I'm going back to cook the fish first." Liu Hai said without waiting for Yang Hehua to speak, and then left.

Yang Hehua looked at Liu Hai's hurried back and patted her thigh: "This child..."

Yang Hehua brought the carp home. Her husband had prepared the pigeons for the morning. The daughter and son at home were looking at the pigeon meat eagerly.

"Hey, where is your apprentice?"

"Fish, fish, fish." The two children with sharp eyes shouted immediately when they saw the carp in the net bag.

"Xiaohai went home. He caught fish himself and gave me one." Yang Hehua said.

"Oh, it's hard to buy fish at this time. Come on, let's leave it for now. We'll ask him to come with us tomorrow to eat." Yang Hehua's husband quickly put the fish in the water tank.

On the other side, the old man who got the bang fish swaggered into a certain compound carrying the carp. Several old men who were playing chess took a look: "Hey, did Lao Yang go out to try his luck today?"

"Is this carp bright?"

The old man snorted: "You don't even know who I am."

"Old lady, I'm back." The old man walked into a small courtyard arrogantly and started shouting before he even entered the door.

Liu Hai returned to the courtyard, took the iron bucket he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and poured the fish into it. There were eleven crucian carps and seven or eight large loaches. The small loaches probably all ran away, because the cages were not that neat.

"Yo!" Liu Hai carried the bucket to the middle courtyard. The aunt was washing vegetables. Looking at the fish in Liu Hai's bucket, she was so surprised that the vegetables in her hands fell.

"Where did Xiao Liu come from?" the aunt asked, looking at her bangs with a surprised look on her face.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door, waiting for her son to get off work, and supervising her daughter-in-law. When she heard this, she got up and came over to take a look. When she saw it, her little eyes widened.

"Caught by the river." Liu Hai was going to grill the fish in the evening, so he squatted down to clean it up.

"Hey, Third Master, I'm afraid there won't be any small two-jin fish. Is it okay to harvest today?" Silly Zhu's loud voice came from the outer courtyard.
