Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 123

Gao Mingcheng was in a good mood these days, not only did he eat the young wife's soft tofu, but also real water tofu.

Many beauty can make tofu. To be precise, the women in their entire village can basically make tofu.

Not only tofu, cooking brown sugar, frying rice crackers, making rice candy, making zongzi, making rice crackers, etc. are all crafts that women know. During the holidays, do the children at home have enough snacks? It depends on how clever the housewife is.

Many bean curds are made with gypsum, and the tofu is more tender.She drained the finished tofu and divided it into five portions of different sizes.

They didn't own a stone mill, so they borrowed the stone mill from Grandma Xi's house to grind the soybeans. After they were done, they sent two big pieces of tofu to Grandma Xi's house, another to their second sister, and another Gao Mingcheng's parents gave a copy, and finally she had to send a copy to her master Dong Feixia, and the rest was for her own food.

At this moment, the vegetables in the field have not grown well, and it is the time when there is a shortage of vegetables to eat.

A plate of fried tofu with a lot of beauty, and then put some dried chili and garlic leaves, it tastes so delicious!

"The water in this well is good, and the tofu it makes is really delicious! Mingcheng, eat more!" Duomei smiled and brought vegetables to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng ate with big mouthfuls, admiring a person's good cooking skills, that is to eat delicious food in front of her!
Just after eating a bowl of rice, I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the yard.

"Gao Mingcheng! There are fish in the reservoir, do you want to catch them?" Outside the door were Gao Liang and Gao Zhuang.

The two were wearing bamboo hats and a strangely shaped cloak, and they were holding a bucket in their hands.

"Brother Mingcheng, you live here, the closest to the big reservoir, why didn't you catch fish first? We just saw that Gao Dacai's family brought a big bucket of fish back to the village, and you hurried to get the bucket, Let's go together!" Gao Zhuang urged Gao Mingcheng, fearing that if he went late, all the fish would be caught by others.

When it rains and the water rises in spring, there will be a lot of fish in the large reservoirs and small ditches. Generally speaking, it is better to catch them on rainy days.

It's raining today, so Gao Mingcheng hasn't gone out yet.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the strange cloaks on the two of them.

That is to cut open the fertilizer bag, then sew the two bags together, and then sew a rope on the top, so that it becomes a simple rain cape.

Before there were no fertilizer bags, some people in their village would use the bark of palm trees to weave coir raincoats, or they could use straw, but the straw was not as strong and easy to use as the brown bark.

It's just that, for the sake of convenience and lightness, young people nowadays directly make ponchos from fertilizer bags.

But Gao Mingcheng did not have such a simple rain cape, nor did he have a coir raincoat. He only had an umbrella and a bamboo hat at home.

He lifted a bucket with one hand, took off the bamboo hat hanging on the wall with the other, put it on his head, and was about to go out.

Gao Zhuang couldn't help frowning and said: "Brother Mingcheng, you will still get wet in the rain if you wait like this."

To catch fish, you have to bend down to catch it in the water. It’s raining, and if you don’t use a poncho to keep the rain out, your clothes will be completely wet.

Duomei didn't want Gao Mingcheng to get wet, so she said, "Go find someone to borrow a coir raincoat! It's still cold, and you'll definitely get sick if you get wet."

Gao Mingcheng did not agree to borrow the coir raincoat.

When the water rises this spring, it is the time for the villagers to have a carnival. It is estimated that after a while, everyone in every household will go to the water to catch fish.

At this time, if I go to borrow a coir raincoat, I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow it.

Gao Mingcheng is in good health and is not afraid of the rain.

He didn't tell Duo Meiduo, and walked directly to the big reservoir with Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang.

Many beauty stood under the eaves, her little face flushed with anger.

In addition to being angry that Gao Mingcheng refused to listen to her, she was also angry that she hadn't prepared things for Gao Mingcheng in advance. She cleaned up the kitchen, boiled a large pot of hot water, and then began to rummage through, trying to find something that could The material to make the rain poncho.

But there were not many things at home, and she couldn't find something suitable, so Manymei went to her master Dong Feixia's house with an umbrella.

Dong Feixia's house has a whole room full of fabrics, leather materials and scraps, etc. If you go to her house to look for them, you will definitely be able to find them.

At this time, the three of Gao Mingcheng had already walked to the side of the big reservoir.

With the spring rain falling in bursts, the water surface of the reservoir is already about [-] to [-] mu, and after a few more rains, it will rise to [-] mu wide.

There are fish in the reservoir and the ditch connected to the reservoir.

These fish are wild species, most of them do not grow up, and most of them are crucian carp.

When the three of them arrived, there were already other people in the reservoir, all wearing bamboo hats, coir raincoats or fertilizer bags, bending over to catch fish.

From time to time there were conversations, and some expressed surprise that they had caught a lot of fish, while others went to other places to look for them because there were not many fish.

The three of Gao Mingcheng did not speak, but started to disperse tacitly, each catching fish.

This season is the best time to catch fish in all four seasons of the year. Anyone who is not lazy can catch a few or tens of catties of fish.

Those who are hardworking and willing to work can catch hundreds of catties.

With so many fish, it is natural that they will not be able to eat them all for a while, but crucian carp is easy to raise and can live for a while, and you can also kill fresh fish, put them in a large iron pot, and slowly dry them over low heat.

After the dried fish is baked, you can put it away and eat it slowly.

Gao Mingcheng is a good fish catcher with rich experience. He soon found a place with a lot of fish and started to bend down to catch it.

As soon as he bent down, his back was completely soaked by the rain. After his clothes gradually drenched, his body felt wet and cold.

But this degree of wetness and cold, he can still bear it.

He ignored his physical discomfort, and put all his attention on catching fish. He kept doing the catching movements with both hands, and every time he didn't catch the fish, one after another fish came out of the wide reservoir. , moved to a small bucket, and the living space became smaller and smaller, because Gao Mingcheng soon harvested a large bucket full of fish.

He straightened up and walked home with the bucket.

When passing by Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang, he said, "I'll go back first."

Both Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang knew that he was good at catching fish, but they never expected him to catch fish so fast!

The two looked at each other and said "Fuck" in unison.

Gao Mingcheng carried a bucket full of fish and walked quickly towards the house.

At this time, he has an advantage over others, because his home is the closest to the big reservoir!
After returning home, he didn't see much beauty, Gao Mingcheng didn't care, he took out a big bathtub, poured all the fish into the bathtub, and poured a bucket of water into it.

Immediately afterwards, he simply went out with two buckets.

Seeing that he returned soon, and carrying two buckets, Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang couldn't help but lie down again.

Feeling a sense of urgency in their hearts, the two lowered their heads and tried their best to catch the fish.

However, although there are many fish, they are not something you can catch just by reaching out, and the weather is still cold and rainy. If you catch fish outdoors for a long time, your body will not be able to bear it.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't have this worry. He happily caught the fish, and even had the mood to pick and choose the fish. If the fish was too small, he wouldn't bother to catch it!
It just so happened that there was tofu at home, so I just made a crucian carp stewed tofu to eat at night!

Well, I have to pick a few bigger crucian carp!
