The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The big fish turned over, the fire illuminated it, and the surface of the water was silvery white.

The fish was in the water. Taking advantage of Zhou Jianjun's opportunity to pull the net, the fish turned sideways.

At this time, the fish's head and pectoral fins were not hung with the net, only the pelvic fins and anal fins were stuck to the net.

The fish turns over on its back in the water, arches and stretches its body, and its pelvic fins instantly leave the net.

Zhou Jianjun held one side of the float with his right hand and shook the net toward the ripples in the water, trying to use human power to cast the net to stick the fish.

But at this moment, the fishing net suddenly moved, and the anal fin and tail of the big fish were separated from the fishing net.

"Wow..." But the next second, the water surface broke open, and a large net rose into the sky. The cold river water splashed from the mesh, and only a fish tail was seen swaying from side to side above the mesh.

The dip net in Ma Dafu's hand is specially used for catching fish. The length of the net bag must be seventy or eighty centimeters. At this time, the fish tail is still exposed outside the mouth of the net, so the fish must be one meter from head to tail.

The big fish was flapping in the net bag. Ma Dafu shouted "Hey", then with both arms, he smashed the fish in the net bag onto the ice next to it.

"Big fish!" Ma Dafu shouted again. He held the larch pole with both hands and twisted it. The top of the net tilted sharply, and he used Ma Dafu's strength to twist the fish body on the ice.

Li Baoyu and Han Daming rushed over to hold down the net bag, pinched it tightly with both hands, and cooperated with Ma Dafu to use the net to carry the fish to the water basin.

Wang Qiang opened the net bag and caught the fish tail. As the big fish was put into the net bag, Zhao Jun took a torch and took a photo. Everyone saw a big fish with a gray-black body and dense black spots on the back and upper sides of the fish. , big head, broad back.

This is silver carp, commonly known as fat-headed fish, and Zhao Jun’s family calls it pāng-headed fish.

Due to the difference in body shape, this fat-headed fish is not as long as the previous carp, but it is much heavier than that carp.

Seeing the big fish entering the water in the net bag, everyone praised Ma Dafu. If it hadn't been for his quick hands and eyes, the big fish would have run away.

In fact, Zhao Jun had a share of the credit for this, but at this time, Zhao Jun stood behind and said nothing, allowing his father-in-law to be praised by everyone.

Ma Dafu laughed heartily. This big fish was enough for him to brag about for twenty years.

"Come on, come on! We're catching fish again." Zhou Jianjun shouted over there. Others had gone to watch the fun, but he stayed in place to pull the net.

Everyone hurriedly ran towards Zhou Jianjun, and when they went to the ground and took a look by the light of the fire, they saw another carp, weighing more than two kilograms.

While Ma Yang was untangling the net from the fish's fin, Zhou Jianjun raised his head toward the basin and asked, "Isn't that fish small?"

"It must be twenty-five or six pounds!" Ma Dafu said proudly.

"Uncle Ma, you are really good!" Zhou Jianjun grabbed the net with one hand and gave Ma Dafu a thumbs up with the other hand.

When Zhao Jun and others went to Zhang Yuanmin's house to get the net, Yang Yufeng said that even ten kilograms of fish could not escape with this net in winter.

The fish just now was too big. Even if it was affected by the severe cold, its body and arms were still strong.

Especially when it turned over, the front half of the fish was out of the net. It had a fat head, and all its body weight was on its big head, chest, and front. As it fell into the water, its back half was also out of the net.

Ma Dafu laughed again, pointed to the water and said: "I just said there are big fish in here, right?"

"Yeah!" As Zhou Jianjun nodded, another fish came ashore.

The body of carp is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides. The fat head is wide in front and narrow in back. However, this fish is almost straight from front to back.

This is a grass carp, and the Zhao Jun family calls it grass root.

"Brother Ma!" Wang Qiang walked to Ma Dafu and said side by side: "Are there any fish here?"

"Then don't you know?" Ma Dafu asked Wang Qiang in return, then he raised his hand and pointed up the mountain, saying: "That year they put it up there to hold the reservoir, and released fish fry of all ages. Later, the flood washed them down. What?"

"Ah..." Wang Qiang clicked twice and said, "Then I really don't remember."

"Huh?" At this time, Han Dachun waved to the two of them, then turned around and pointed at the grass carp caught by Ma Yang, and said, "How about taking this fish back and eating it raw?"

"Okay!" Ma Dafu nodded and said, "You can also cut a carp."

Not only the south has the habit of eating raw fish, but also the north.

The mountains and rivers near Zhao Jun's house are beautiful, and even thirty years later, there are still wild fish. Many people catch grass carp and carp, take them home, slice them up and eat them raw.

As for parasites, it can only be said that the soil and water support the people. Zhao Jun's family has no trouble eating raw fish.

Zhou Jianjun continued to raise the net, and as another crucian carp came ashore, the 245-meter sticky net was completely lifted up by Zhou Jianjun.

The moment the Internet came up, Zhou Jianjun asked everyone to get off the Internet.

Because when Zhou Jianjun raised the net, he used a float to put in a sinker, so when he lowered the net, he did not need to lay the net flat and lowered it directly into the water.

With more people and greater strength, the net was taken down in less than ten minutes. At this time, Jie Chen also drove back.

Everyone said that he came at the right time, and then packed up and prepared to leave.

Piles of small frozen fish were picked up with a shovel and put into sacks. More than 100 kilograms of small frozen fish were packed into two sacks.

There are also various tools and basins. The water is poured directly into the big basin, and the fish is carried in a net bag and thrown directly into the trunk.

Since there was a big fish weighing 24 to 5 kilograms, the fish caught in the net bag reached more than 30 kilograms. Including the carp sent back before, it would be nearly fifty kilograms.

After everything was packed up, everyone took the car back to the village and went directly to Zhao Jun's house.

Zhao Jun's house was even more lively tonight. When Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan saw that their in-laws and Han brothers were here, they hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed them into the house.

As the men entered the west room, Zhao Jun grabbed Wang Meilan who was lagging behind and whispered in her ear: "Mom, go ahead and summon Aunt Ma and Aunt Han."

Before in Dongdagou, Zhao Jun only told Ma Dafu to let him and Ma Yang come home for dinner, but did not mention Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling. That was because Zhao Jun knew that even if he said it, Ma Dafu would refuse, so why not let me Come and invite me.

"Okay!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she didn't feel any trouble and immediately responded: "Then I'll call them."

"Mom, take a flashlight." Zhao Jun warned again. It is safe no matter how late it is in the village. Besides, it's not too late now, it's just after six o'clock.

Wang Meilan responded and handed over the house to Yang Yufeng and Xie Sun and Liu Lanying who came out to help.

Originally, I planned to have fried fish paste and rice dumplings tonight, but the rice dumplings are mainly meant to be eaten with rice, so there is no need for any side dishes. Fried fish and fried peanuts would be good.

Unexpectedly, before the small fish was fried, Jiechen sent back another big fish.

Fish has many beautiful meanings in China, such as having more than enough every year, and New Year pictures also feature a boy holding a fish.

Seeing such a big fish, Wang Meilan asked Jin Xiaomei and the others to kill and stew the fish on a whim. But she didn't know that Zhao Jun had invited Ma Dafu and the Han brothers to his home for dinner.

But this is no big deal to Wang Meilan. She has a lot of canned luncheon meat and canned fish stored in her home, and she just takes them out and puts them on plates for the men to drink with.

"Jie Niang, please slow down." After Zhao Jun sent Wang Meilan out, he turned around and looked, but he was shocked.

Jie Sun was dragging the big fat fish out of the net bag. Zhao Jun guessed that she wanted to put the fish into a big basin, but with the big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms, Zhao Jun was afraid of stretching her arms. leg.

Facts have proved that none of Mrs. Xie Sun's meals was wasted. She easily threw a twenty-pound silver carp into the basin with a crisp sound. The children playing in the east room and the men joking in the west room were instantly stunned. It is quite now.

It happened that Li Baoyu and Jie Chen came back from fetching water. Jie Sun asked them to pour water into the basin. Liu Lanying said at the side: "Mom, this fish can't survive."

As she spoke, Liu Lanying stretched out her hand and pointed into the basin and said, "You can't even stop talking when you look at this fish."

Silver carp and white silver carp will die quickly if they come out of the water without oxygen. Low temperature will be slightly better, otherwise, this silver carp will not be able to survive and be thrown to death by Jie Sun.

"Then take it out quickly." Mr. Xie Sun bent down to catch the silver carp, picked at the gills on both sides, lifted the fish, and put it into a round basin aside.

The long and large basin was used to raise the carp, crucian carp and grass carp that Zhao Jun and the others caught.

"Brother." Liu Lanying took a look at Mrs. Sun and felt that her mother-in-law didn't need to take care of her, so she walked towards Zhao Jun and asked, "What do you think I can do to help?"

"Sister-in-law, I don't need you." Zhao Jun declined quickly and said, "You go in and sit down. We'll have dinner soon."

"It's okay, brother." Liu Lanying waved her hand and said, "Your sister-in-law is not an outsider. Hurry up. We have a visitor. My sister-in-law will help you with your work."

Zhao Jun had known Liu Lanying for two lifetimes, so he naturally knew what kind of person she was. He immediately stopped being polite to her and said directly: "Sister-in-law, they want to eat the carp and grass roots raw. You can cut them up for them." .”

"Okay, that's easy." Liu Lanying agreed, turned around and pointed at the three Jiesun family members who were putting fish into the big basin, and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, which one are you looking at?"

"Sister-in-law, I'll cut it with you two!" At this time, Yang Yufeng, who had sliced ​​the lunch meat and put it on the plate, also came over.

Zhao Jun went to the big basin, picked up a carp weighing more than two kilograms and the only grass carp, put them in the basin and brought them to the stove.

Yang Yufeng was familiar with Zhao Jun's family and knew where all the things in the house were. She found an old sack and spread it on the ground. After placing a piece of butter paper on it, she placed the fish that had been knocked unconscious on the butter paper.

Yang Yufeng skillfully scraped off the scales on both sides of the grass carp's body and lower abdomen, and then handed the fish directly to Liu Lanying's hands without eviscerating or picking out its gills.

Liu Lanying put the grass carp down on the basswood cutting board. Instead of grabbing the fish, she took the knife to the water tank. After lifting the sorghum stalk cover on the water tank, Liu Lanying placed the back of the knife across the mouth of the tank, rubbing the blade repeatedly with her pushing hand and backhand.

Just listening to the sound of swishing, Liu Lanying quickly put away the knife and covered the water jar after more than 20 times and returned to the cutting board.

Next, Liu Lanying no longer made any extra moves. She first broke the fish skin from under the gills and tore off the skin on this side from head to tail.

Then, Liu Lanying cut the fish directly from the tail with the kitchen knife, and cut the fish head with the horizontal knife.

Liu Lanying cuts the fish very thinly. Even if it reaches the belly of the fish, the fish meat is only as thick as her little finger.

As the blade reached under the gills of the fish, Liu Lanying raised the blade and successfully cut off a large piece of fish meat.

As for the fish on the cutting board, the ribs are clearly visible.

When Liu Lanying used the knife to cut the fish, she didn't cut it by sticking it to the fish bones. She used the knife to cut the fish's ribs and cut the flesh without bringing those big spines down.

This way, the belly of the fish is not damaged. When Liu Lanying turns the fish over in her hand, the fish is white and free of blood and dirt.

Then, like chopping vegetables, Liu Lanying pressed down on the fish to cut it, and heard constant "thumping, thumping" sounds. The thumping sound was the sound of the knife cutting the fish. The fish meat was crispy when she heard the sound, and the thumping sound was the knife falling on the cutting board. on the sound.

Liu Lanying cut the fish very thin. Zhao Jun didn't know what thin as a cicada's wings meant, but the fish cut by Liu Lanying was translucent.

After Liu Lanying finished cutting the grass carp, Yang Yufeng had already finished packing the carp. At this time, Yang Yufeng smiled and handed the carp to Liu Lanying and said, "Sister-in-law Jie, I think you should cut it. You can cut it better than me."

Liu Lanying smiled, and when she took the carp, she pointed to the remaining grass carp body on the chopping board and said to Yang Yufeng: "Brothers and sisters, what do you do with this? After you clean it up, just cut it and save it for soup or frying."

"Hey!" Yang Yufeng agreed, and stepped forward to take away the remaining grass carp remains and give Liu Lanying a place to display her knife skills.

When Liu Lanying cuts carp, she still cuts it in the same way, leaving out the spines on both sides of the carp. Although carp is different from crucian carp in that there are many small spines in the meat, Liu Lanying cuts it thin and the spines can be ignored.

This carp was indeed wild. When cut with a knife, the fish meat was white and yellow on the inside. As the platter of carp and grass carp slices was delivered to the back room, Zhao Jun discovered that Zhao Youcai and the others in the west room had already drank.

Zhao Jun put the fish on the table and asked Zhao Youcai, "Dad, can you add some dipping sauce to this thing?"

"No need to adjust anything." Zhao Youcai, who was about to drink the wine, raised his hand and said that there was no need to adjust anything, but said: "Just pour some vinegar and less salt."

"Jun." Ma Dafu added: "I have miso at home, make some for me."

Northeastern people are a bit heavy-mouthed, especially the older generation. They do a lot of strenuous work and think eating salt is refreshing, so their taste gradually becomes heavier and heavier. There is a group of people who dip everything they eat in miso.

"Okay, Uncle Ma." Zhao Jun responded, turned around and went out of the house to prepare dipping sauce and sauce for his father and father-in-law.

Arriving at the outhouse, Zhao Jun first invited Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to the table. The west room was full of men, and the elders had already drank. Now it was just the three of them plus Ma Yang and Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai was bedridden, and Ma Yang went to visit Li Ruhai who was bedridden.

Then, Zhao Jun asked Yang Yufeng to take Liu Lanying back to the east room to rest. Compared with the men's table, there were still a lot of women missing. Wang Meilan went out to pick up people but did not return. Jin Xiaomei, Xu Chunyan and Zhao Ling were stewing fish at Li's house in the west courtyard.

When Zhao Jun went to the bowl rack to get vinegar, Zhao Chun walked out of the house with her child in her arms. She slipped in front of Zhao Jun, raised her chin toward the west room, and asked in a low voice: "Has your brother-in-law drank it?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun nodded, lowered his voice and laughed: "I just entered the house and saw that most of the jar was gone."

At this point, Zhao Jun glanced back at the door of the west room, then whispered in Zhao Chun's ear: "My brother-in-law has heard that he wants to seize the net. I guess you can do it on New Year's Day." It would be nice to go back.”

If the first fish lands, whoever sees it will get rich (seeing it in a book counts)!
