Chapter 28 Catfish
Lying on the bed, Xu Ruoruo looked around the whole new home, feeling more and more satisfied.

This bed was much bigger than Lu Xing's bed in Lu's house, and it was still a Ba Bu bed.

The two low cabinets at the end of the bed look very well made and can hold a lot of clothes.

Xu Ruoruo got off the bed: "I'll go to the next door to see."

A plank bed was placed in the adjoining utility room, along with a four-tier shelf.

Seeing Xu Ruoruo approaching, Tuesday the dog put down the things in his hand: "I think the inside of this room is not bad."

"I think too." Xu Ruoruo nodded, "Just replace the outside with new tiles."

"Vac is not cheap," said the dog on Tuesday.

Xu Ruoruo asked: "If there is no tile, won't it leak when it rains?"

The dog on Tuesday teased: "It seems that you still don't understand the life of a farmer."

Xu Ruoruo took the initiative to ask: "How to say?"

She wouldn't be complacent just because she came from a more technologically prosperous apocalypse. People here have accumulated simple wisdom through generations of survival and development.

"At that time, go to the back mountain to pick some soil, and collect some unnecessary wheat straw. After the reconciliation, the roof can be repaired. Many tiles can be used less, and the roof can also be repaired so that it does not leak."

Xu Ruoruo raised his eyebrows: "So it can be done like this."

"Learn more," said the dog on Tuesday.

Xu Ruoruo thanked: "Thank you Brother Zhou."

On Tuesday, the dog waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, I didn't do anything."

Xu Ruoruo said: "You taught me a new knowledge."

On Tuesday, the dog didn't dare to look directly into Xu Ruoruo's almond eyes, he was afraid that he would be attracted by the light inside and sink into it.

"It's getting late, we'll clean up the weeds outside tomorrow."

Xu Ruoruo said: "Brother Zhou, you can stay and eat."

On Tuesday, the dog agreed that he lived alone, and he didn't bother to cook when he got home, so he might as well eat here.

Xu Ruoruo asked again: "Brother Zhou, are there any fish in that stream outside?"

"Yes," said the dog on Tuesday, "but the fish swim fast. If there is no fishing net, you can't catch it. However, fishing nets are not allowed in the village. If you have to cast fishing nets, you have to go to the mountains."

"As long as there are fish."

Xu Ruoruo turned around and picked a wooden stick of suitable thickness from the pile of firewood, picked up the hatchet, sat on the ground, and prepared to sharpen a harpoon.

The dog looked at it for a long time on Tuesday and couldn't understand what Xu Ruoruo was doing: "You, what are you doing?"

Xu Ruoruo replied without raising his head: "Make a harpoon."

"I didn't say that there is no fishing net that cannot catch fish."

Xu Ruoruo said flatly, "That's you."

Tuesday Dog: "." Okay, you are different, you are amazing.

Xu Ruoruo's movements were swift, and he quickly cut out a harpoon.

"Will you follow me to the river?"

Dog first out on Tuesday: "Let's go."

He wanted to see if Xu Ruoruo was exaggerating.

Lu Xing followed behind, carrying a small bucket.

The river was really close, and it took a few minutes to walk there.

It is closer to the mountains and the river is narrower, which is suitable for catching fish.

Xu Ruoruo observed by the river and found a relatively flat place suitable for squatting.

The water in the river is very clear, and one or two fish swim by from time to time.

Xu Ruoruo reminded: "Be careful."

Tuesday the dog stared intently.

But he watched so seriously that he didn't see Xu Ruoruo's movements clearly.

It seemed that Xu Ruoruo casually threw a fork into the river and picked up a fish.

But Xu Ruoruo didn't seem to be interested in these small fish, so he gave Tuesday Dog a look on the fork and put them back again.

The dog asked on Tuesday: "Why did you put it back?"

How can I put the food at hand?

Xu Ruoruo said slowly: "These fish are too small, and they are exhausted, and I don't need so many fish, I can't finish them."

Fish are different from loaches, they will die soon if they are kept in buckets.

Xu Ruoruo is not interested in stale dead fish at all.

Tuesday Dog: ".Okay."

Xu Ruoruo kept squatting for a quarter of an hour, and finally made her wait for a big fish.

There was a cold look in her eyes, and she forked quickly with her eyes and hands, and forked a catfish more than a foot long.

Catfish is not an expensive item, and it is incomparable with mandarin fish, carp, bream, and perch. There is a poem saying that it is "the most stubborn and stupid" and cannot be considered elegant.

But Xu Ruoruo is not particular about it, as long as he can eat it.

Catfish is a carnivorous fish with strong vitality. It was still fluttering when out of the water for a while, and the tail of the fish patted Xu Ruoruo's hand, causing pain.

Not to mention, this temperament is indeed a bit "stubborn".

Xu Ruoruo said viciously to the catfish: "If you move again, I will shoot you to death right now."

Lu Xing smiled, and stretched out the barrel: "Put it in."

He had just filled the barrel with water.

After catching the catfish, Xu Ruoruo and others will head home.

On the way back, I met a young couple who came down from the mountain with baskets on their backs.

The folk customs of Hongyan Village are simple and simple. Although it is a mixed village, the villagers will greet each other.

On Tuesday, the dog yelled at those two people: "Brother Li, Sister Li, you are back from the mountains."

Li Cheng asked: "It's Ergou, you are in the village today, aren't you working in the town?"

On Tuesday, the dog patted his head: "I will send two people back to the village."

After seeing the catfish in the wooden bucket in Lu Xing's hand, Mrs. Li asked very familiarly: "This catfish is really fat! It's just that I'm afraid it smells like earth!"

"Why don't you catch a grass carp, it's not fishy."

Xu Ruoruo smiled: "It's what you catch, and the catfish doesn't smell bad after handling it."

Mrs. Li quickly asked: "What tricks do you have, little lady?"

Xu Ruoruo taught her: "When cooking, put some wine and ginger to remove the smell."

After listening to Xu Ruoruo's words, Mrs. Li quickly asked, "What kind of wine to put? How much?"

Xu Ruoruo explained the secret to cooking fish in detail: "When slicing the fish, you should tear off the black film in the belly of the fish. Ginger and wine should be put in. Ordinary wine will do."

"You can also add some vinegar to remove the fishy smell, and it will be cooked faster."

Mrs. Li kept nodding, but it was a pity that she was illiterate, otherwise she would definitely have to take a small notebook to write it down.

"Thank you little lady, I'll try it later."

Mrs. Li said belatedly: "The little lady looks a little embarrassed, I don't know where she lives?"

Hearing Li Cheng and Zhou Zhougou straight up laughing, Mrs. Li's familiar temperament is really true.

Xu Ruoruo pointed at the distance: "I will live there."

Living in a village, interpersonal communication among neighbors is essential.

Mrs. Li exclaimed: "This house is actually occupied by people."

"My husband and I just moved here today."

Li Cheng came to a sudden: "Ergou, you just said to pick up people, did you just pick up these two?"

"Yes," Tuesday Dog nodded, "They are my master's nephews, and they are back to the village now."

Hearing this, Li Cheng immediately cupped his hands: "I'm sorry, my name is Li Cheng. This is my wife. We live in the front. If you need any help, you can come to us."
