Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 159

Among the boys, Zhang Lu doesn't know how to do this, and he doesn't have much interest in it, so he keeps the housekeeper, and Zhou Mu and Yang Su are left to go out together.

Because they are not catching live eels for sale, the actions of the four-member group are relatively rough.

With a torch and a spear in hand, the main attack is not the ditches, but the rice fields with only rice piles left.

The eels in Jiachuan began to come out in March, and in April, the fields began to store water, plow the fields, dam the fields, and plant rice seedlings. There will be a peak period for eels to come out.

In May, the seedlings begin to grow, which is called "Fengtian" in the countryside, which means that the seedlings are so lush that the water can no longer be seen. At this time, the eels are no longer easy to catch. In addition, the eels will start to lay eggs, and the nutrition is given to the fish. The egg itself is thin and skinned. Although the eel at this time is expensive, gourmets will not choose it.

After the millet has been harvested, the eel market will enter a peak period again. At this time, the eels start to eat crazily in order to hibernate. There will be fewer and fewer, and the eels in the city will become more and more expensive.

Now is a good time.

There are also many ways to catch eels, such as getting into a cage, fishing with a wire, catching with your hands... Zhou Zhi and the others played with torches and spears this time.

It is best to use a torch to illuminate the eel. Because the light beams of the flashlight are clustered, the irradiation area is not large, and a considerable part of the light will be reflected by the water surface, making it difficult to see the bottom of the water.

Replaced with a torch, there is no such problem.

There are four or five steel needles on the head of the spear. Such a tool cannot be used in ditches made of stones, but it can be called a big killer in fields full of mud.

The four of them were all familiar hands, Yang He and Mu Ruyun were in a group, Zhou Zhi was in a group with Su Datou, and they went out of the field with their trousers on their legs.

At night, rice field eels come out more to look for food. Under the light of the fire, rice field eels lie quietly at the mouth of the water hole and don’t like to move. You just need to stretch the spear over slowly, and then stab it hard and sharply. An eel The fish is pierced on the spear.

Because the steel wire is very thin, the eel cannot die in a short time, just scrape it into the fence pocket.

There are eel caves everywhere in the clear and shallow paddy fields, and not every cave has eels exposing their bodies at the mouth of the cave. In this case, use your middle finger to insert along the mouth of the cave. Pinch the ring finger with the index finger.

Some eels have two holes, and they can be caught from one hole, but the eels escape from the other hole. At this time, two people need to cooperate, one digs the hole and the other fills the gun.

After four people walked from one end of the field ridge to the other, five or six eels had already entered the padou.

"Yeah, this whole method, I'm afraid I'm going to eat big skin tonight!" Yang He was so happy that he uttered local words: "It's only taken a few steps."

"Shut up!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly stopped her, and then murmured, "Grandma Land doesn't mind, Grandpa Tunkou doesn't mind, children's words are free, children's words are free, come as you should, don't go if you want. "

"Elbow, what are you doing?" Su Datou couldn't help being amused.

"It's all the monk's fault!" Zhou Zhi was a little annoyed, "At times like this, we have to keep our voices muffled, and we can wait until we've had enough to eat before we say anything, otherwise it won't work!"

"Oh." Su Datou said he understood, and he also prayed: "Don't care, don't care..."

I don't know if the superstitious begging activities have had an effect. It seems that the land mother and grandpa Tunkou really don't care. The biggest possibility is that there are many eels in the fields that have not yet reached the mountains. Yang He and Zhou Zhi The big bag is almost installed.

"Monk, how much do you think you have in your pocket?"

Yang He shook his body: "Seven or eight catties."

"It's about the same here, about ten catties." Zhou Zhi also trembled, "Why don't you go back?"

"Let's go back then, there's still a lot of work to do when we go back."

Most of the eels in the padou have been pricked by needles, and they will not last until tomorrow morning, so they need to be drawn out overnight while they are fresh.

That's good too, so that the girls won't be able to eat the bloody scene tomorrow.

Even so, it was already twelve o'clock when the four returned to the open dam. Yang He's dog was incomparable to the Mu family's two barbarians and three barbarians. They were sleeping soundly under the eaves, without any spiritual energy. .

Take two plastic pots and put them on the beams and columns, find two wooden boards, put one end in the pots and the other end on the pillars to get a slope, and then take two long and thin nails to nail the eels, after that Yang and He used For the eel knife, Zhou Zhi used an electrician's knife to scratch the eel.

The eel that had been stabbed had already lost some activity, so there was no need to stir it on the edge of the bucket, and there was no need to struggle.

Nail the eel on a slope, hold the tail of the eel with your left hand, take a knife with your right hand and cut across the throat, then cut from the back of the spine to the tip of the tail, shave off the internal organs of the spine, and cut several sections obliquely If it is not cut off, and then cut horizontally from the bottom of the head, an eel will be processed.

The average eel is two or three, and there are twenty catties or seventy or eighty eels here, which must be a big job.

When the pavement is done, it is almost one o'clock. Put the eel meat in the enamel basin, put a stone slab at one end of the water tank, then put the enamel basin in the water tank, push it under the slate to hide it, and cool it with cold water. .

The old Yang family's dog is unreliable in hiding, afraid that the eel meat will be stolen by something that smells from the back mountain.

The cold water is naturally used to keep fresh.

After doing all this, there was still a stench all over the body. Fortunately, everyone changed into old clothes before departure, and now they took them off and threw them next to the water tank. After carefully washing their hands, feet and faces with soap, a few people went to sleep in the wing.

None of them are particular about people, but there is a legend in Jiachuan that if the fishy mucus sticks to any part of the body and is not washed off, "Xiuzi" will grow on that place, which is also called "common wart" scientifically. thing.

So the main reason is to be afraid of this, even so the smell is still there, but several people feel that it does not affect sleep.

When the rooster started to crow, Guan Tingting sneaked into the side room where the boys were sleeping, carefully identified who Zhou Zhi was among the four boys sleeping on the bed, and then put her cold little hand on Zhou Zhi's hot neck.

Zhou Zhi trembled with fright in his daze, woke up with a shake, and saw a pair of big eyes flickering above him, and stretched out his hand to push her forehead: "Tingting, don't make trouble, she's sleepy..."

As a result, Guan Tingting held onto her hand when she stretched it out, and even pulled Zhou Zhi back hard to sit up: "You promised to practice vocals with me."

"Do you need to practice voice so early?" When Zhou Zhi said this, his eyes were closed, and he was about to fall to one side as he spoke.

Guan Tingting would not be used to Zhou Zhi, she directly grabbed Zhou Zhi's right hand with both hands, sat on Zhou Zhi's calf with her buttocks, and raised her foot to kick Zhou Zhi's armpit: "You don't want to lie down! You promised!"

Zhou Zhi shook his body a few times and found that he couldn't lie down, so he finally shook his head and woke up: "Eh? Tingting, what are you doing?"

"Wake you up!"

"Keep your voice down, aha—" After yawning, Zhou Zhi asked, "What time is it?"

"Five forty."

"It's still dark today..."

"But the rooster has already crowed!"

"Okay, okay... I'll come back to clean it up later..."
