My village can't be like this

Chapter 206 Snake fish for strawberries

"Hello, I heard they said that the strawberry next to you was grown by your family?"

At five or six o'clock in the evening, when Zhang An's family was preparing to cook, someone suddenly came to the door.

Hearing that he was here to ask Strawberry, Zhang An was not surprised, he was used to it.

Since the strawberries are ripe, many people have asked to buy them.

Although most of the strawberries in the nest have been sold to Ding Yi, there are still a small number of strawberries left in the field.

Of course, there are still many that were not ripe before, and those that just came out are gradually mature now.

"Yes, those are grown by our family."

Seeing someone coming to the door, Zhang An naturally stepped forward to greet him.

"That's right, I caught a few fish today."

The old man said and showed Zhang An the fish he was carrying in the bucket.

"My family has a daughter who likes eating strawberries very much. I want to exchange these few fish with you for a few catties of strawberries to take home. You can see if it's okay."

Yo, the person in front of him is actually a fishing brother.

Zhang An really didn't notice it at all. After all, he looked white and clean, but he didn't look like a regular fisherman at all.

In the past two years, there have been a lot of people fishing by the river, and Zhang An has taken a rough look at them all.

Generally, people who especially like fishing may be because they often go out.

Whether it is on the arms or the neck, it can be seen that it has been exposed to the sun.

You must know that there are no sunscreens and sunscreen equipment yet.

But it doesn't matter, whether people really come to fish has nothing to do with me.

"Okay, brother, I'm afraid you are not fishing for this kind of fish today, are you?"

Zhang An looked into the barrel, and couldn't help but look at the elder brother in front of him.

There aren't many fish in the bucket, but it's not a common fish, and it's not easy to catch.

Because there are exactly four snake fish in my brother's bucket.

And they are not small in size, the biggest one weighs five or six catties, and the smallest one is about two or three catties.

Zhang An has logged so many times before, but he has never gotten this kind of guy.

"Hey, brother has good eyesight. When I came with my friends last time, I was molested by the snake fish in the grass pond. This time I came here specially to clean them up."

The elder brother is quite familiar, and even showed Zhang An his equipment.

As expected, they came prepared, they were very well prepared, and the whole set was full of Lure poles.

Few people play this now, and many people come to Changqing to fish.

But as a lure player, this old man is definitely the first one Zhang An has seen.

"This fish is not bad. I traded it with you, brother. How do you plan to change it?"

Zhang An is going to get some fish fillets tonight, and he will cook them with Shi Pound later.

The fish at home is also suitable for mandarin fish, because other fish have many bones, so it is not suitable for cooking with sliced ​​fish.

It just so happened that this old man brought some snake fish, how could Zhang An have any reason to refuse.

"Then thank you brother, I'll just pick four or five catties."

When Zhang An heard that it was four or five catties, he took advantage of it.

"No, no, no..."

Before Zhang An finished speaking, my brother thought that Zhang An thought he wanted too much, so he hurriedly said.

"Actually, it's okay to pick a little less."

"No, brother, listen to me. I mean four or five catties is too little, so I'll give you a basket, and you can just fill it up."

These few fish together weighed more than ten catties.

Although the price of local fish has not been high, and the price of this snake fish is not too expensive, Zhang An didn't want to take advantage of others.

"Brother, you don't need so much, just four or five catties is enough, and you can't finish eating too much."

Zhang An gave him the basket, but he didn't want it, so he shook the plastic bag he brought over.

Seeing that the elder brother was sure, Zhang An didn't continue.

Find a basin to put the fish in first, and then take him to the nest.

Zhang An can't help but go, because at this moment, all the family's one, two, three, four, and fifty cents are guarding in the den.

Because some time ago, one night, someone came to steal melons.

That guy came here on a motorcycle and only stole a dozen or so melons at a time.

Zhang An felt that this person was out of his mind, how much is a dozen or so melons worth?

If you can ride a motorcycle, you will definitely not be too poor, so why steal melons?

In the end, Zhang An overtook him by car and escorted the melon thief back.

This person is not from the nearby village, and no one in the village knows him.

For this kind of petty thief, a few irascible uncles in the village would give him a hard pump first, and then hang them on the Dachao gate at the entrance of the village.

The melon thief, who was fearless at first, was scared to pee on the spot when he saw the thorn whips brought out by the uncles.

He kept begging for mercy, saying that he would never dare again.

He also expressed his willingness to lose money, and took out 200 yuan from his body, intending to pay it to Zhang An's family.

Zhang Anke didn't like the money, so he called the police station and asked them to come and take him away.

Since then, Wang Fang has arranged tasks for her family's dog.

There are also day shifts and evening shifts, and everyone takes turns going to Guadatian to watch the night.

"Brother, why do you want to exchange this fish for something? You can take this fish home to eat or sell it."

Zhang An could tell that the person in front of him was not someone who was short of money.

After all, the set of equipment just now must be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

People who are willing to spend so much money on equipment, how can they be short of money.

"We are from other places. The fishing road can't stand the toss, and we exchange the fruits of our own labor for something. The sense of accomplishment cannot be bought with money."

Zhang An could tell that the old man in front of him had some little hobbies.

It is estimated that he did a lot of things like this.

Walking into the nest, Zhang An called Da Mao and the others away, and led the people inside to pick strawberries.

"Hiss, is this strawberry so big?"

Looking at the strawberry that looks like a little lantern, my brother was a little stunned.

Just now, I couldn't see clearly from across the river, but now I realized that the strawberry is like a small lantern.

"Hey, try one. Our strawberries are not only big, but also delicious. You can eat them without any medicine."

Zhang An had seen this expression a lot, basically everyone who came to pick strawberries had this expression.

When Zhang An was talking to him, he picked two strawberries and handed them over, and he took one and ate it himself.

The old man was not polite either, he took the strawberry Zhang An gave him and started to eat it.

The fresh and tender flesh and the sweet juice instantly conquered my brother.

He kept saying that he would trade a few fish for it, which was a huge profit.

The bag that my brother brought over was not very big, and it took two people to pick it up before picking it up. It probably contained five or six catties.

When he walked out of the den, Zhang An called to stop him.

"Brother, wait a minute. You can take this melon home to eat. It's durable."

When Zhang An walked past the melon, he picked a melon and handed it over.

The elder brother originally wanted to refuse, but Zhang An's family stuffed it in his hands.

Back home, Zhang Jianguo had already started to skin Shi Pound.

If it is to make soup, the stone pound can be left unpeeled.

But Zhang An couldn't stand the raised skin on their bodies.

Although it's not as obvious as Maipibao, Zhang An still wants to peel it off.

And when used to cook hot pot, the white and tender frog meat inside must be the best.

Zhang An didn't stand and watch, he carried a kitchen knife and worked with his father.

Zhang An doesn't do this job, so Zhang An is very unfamiliar with it.

However, Zhang Jianguo followed suit, and he learned quickly.

Things like stone pounds and frogs, Zhang Jianguo and the others often ate when they were young.

Because my family was poor at that time, and there were no meat tickets to buy meat, so these were equivalent to meat.

It didn't take long for Zhang An and his father to kill ten stone pounds.

This has already filled a small half of the pot, and it is estimated that it will not be enough to finish a meal.

Knowing that Zhang An changed the fish pond in the old house into a frog pond, he wanted to raise the remaining ones.

So the remaining few didn't touch them, and continued to pack them in the bucket, and Zhang An would send them over later.

After Shi Pound had been processed, Zhang An took out the biggest snake fish from the basin and processed it.

When Zhang An stretched out his hand, it still wanted to bite Zhang An with its mouth open.

It seems that this guy has just been caught not long ago, and he is still very energetic.

The other few looked a little limp, so there was no spirit to bite.

Originally, Zhang An was still a little hesitant, whether to kill the big one or the small one.

But since this guy is so grumpy, it must taste delicious.

Zhang An chose it happily, and put the other ones in the space to keep them.

This snake fish is a good thing. If you are injured, use it to make soup to speed up your recovery.

Zhang An and the others call it Snake Fish here because this guy is very ferocious, and the head of the fish is very snake-like, so that's why it's called that.

Snake fish is also called black fish, and its big name is snakehead, which is also the legendary filial fish.

According to legend, the snake fish is a fish that knows how to be grateful.

Because the female fish will have a short-term vision loss after giving birth to the young snakefish.

The blindness of the eyes means that the female snakefish loses the ability to hunt.

At this time, the snakefish cubs will actively surround their mothers.

Then one after another, they run into the mouth of the female fish to serve as food for the female fish and maintain the life of the female fish.

But in fact, snakefish will not lose their eyesight after giving birth, so I don’t know how it came out.

And the small fish put them into the mouth of the female fish, Zhang An thinks this may be a habit of them to protect their young.

After all, in the animal world, there are not a few animals with such habits.

Of course, some sloppy females put their juveniles in their mouths.

If you didn't pay attention for a while, the possibility of putting your own child in your stomach is not out of the question.

Despite such a nice name, the snakefish is a real bad guy.

In the water, they prey on other fish unscrupulously, which can be described as a tyrant in the water.

Many people who raise fish hate them to the bone.

No other way, because in a fish pond, as long as there are a few snake fish, disasters will soon be over for you.

And snakefish can grow very large, as long as there is always a source of food, they can grow up to hundreds of catties.

People dare to eat such a guy in the water, let alone other fish.

Therefore, many people think that snake fish is a filial fish and should not be eaten.

Zhang An could only smile at this. They might not know how delicious this snake fish is for making sauerkraut fish.

Looking at the snake fish that opened its mouth to him, Zhang An couldn't bear it.

Immediately, he grabbed it and pressed it to the cutting board, aimed at it with a kitchen knife, and knocked it down hard with the back of the knife.

Maybe because of his larger size, this guy is more resistant to beating.

Zhang An knocked the back of the knife, but it has not been knocked unconscious.

So Zhang An then went down with a few more slaps, and finally knocked this guy out.

Although Zhang An has not killed fish in RT-Mart for ten years, his skills are not bad.

It didn't take much time to clean up this big guy.

But black fish is different from other fish, this guy has a layer of mucus on his body.

Zhang An poured some hot water and gave it a full body bath.

There are not many thorns on the black fish, so Zhang An removes the thorns before slicing.

After the province is cooked later, you have to pay attention to picking the small thorns.

Anyway, when Zhang An eats fish, the most annoying thing is to pick pricks.

When going to assassinate, Zhang An thought of Jiang Tuan.

When later Zhang An ate fish, Jiang Tuan was his favorite.

Because Jiang Tuan itself has no small thorns, only a few big thorns, it is very convenient to eat.

Now there are a lot of fish in Zhang An's pond, but there are no Jiang Tuan. When I have time another day, I will find some and raise them.

After the fish fillet is ready, it has to be fishy, ​​because this guy has a strong earthy smell.

After all, such a big snake fish has lived in the big river for an unknown amount of time, so the earthy smell on its body is naturally very pure.

It's a hot day now, and there is no stove at home, so Zhang An's idea of ​​cooking while eating fell through.

Moreover, the weather is relatively hot now, and it would be too hot to burn a fire just to eat hot pot.

So Wang Fang made the bottom of the pot, put the frog meat and fish directly into the pot and cooked it.

Anyway, I don’t have to pay so much attention to eating at home.

But when it's winter, you must eat a hot pot seriously.

Or the next time you go to the city, buy a gas stove and come back, so that it is convenient to eat hot pot.

Just now Zhang An and the others killed a lot of stone pounds. After cooking a pot, Wang Fang found that there were still some left.

Zhang An also didn't want to put it in the refrigerator and eat it tomorrow, because the taste would change.

So Zhang An poured some starch, beat an egg to adjust the seasoning, wrapped the rest of the frog meat, put it in the pan and fried it.

Not only can it be eaten now, Zhang An can bring it to the room as a snack later.

Wang Fang is experienced, and the cooking time for this frog meat is just right.

It just cooked out the fresh and tender characteristics of Shipeng meat, and it tastes refreshing and tender.

The bottom of the pot was originally made of chili peppers, but Zhang An still felt that it was not exciting enough.

So I cut some folded ears and made a bowl of chili water, and added some moldy tofu soup.

Zhang An dipped a large piece of frog meat and put it in his mouth. It tasted just like this, and it was very comfortable.

Just now he felt as if something was missing, and it turned out that the difference was this.

While Zhang An was still eating, the army of dolls from the village had already reported to their house.

When I came here at this time, I must have come to watch TV.

Every night at this time, they come over after eating, very punctual.

Zhang An saw them coming, and gave them the fried stone pounds on the plate.

Although they had already had dinner, Zhang An wouldn't let them watch him eat.
