Rebirth 1983

Chapter 20 Fishing Nets to Catch Lobsters

Thinking of this, Chen Song's mood suddenly became very hot, and he didn't even enjoy chewing the meat on the table anymore.

After hastily sweeping away the things on the table, wiped his mouth, and paid RMB [-] for the meal, Chen Song left in a hurry.

The proprietress looked at Chen Song's back and murmured to herself: "What's wrong with this young man? He looks like a starved ghost reincarnated. He didn't eat like this last time. Could it be that he eats once every few days?"

After the proprietress cleaned up the dishes on the table, she went back to the back kitchen and talked about it with her man, which made them laugh for a while.

Chen Song hurried back and found that he could still catch the bus back to Chenjia'ao, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The bus came soon, Chen Song stepped onto the bus one step at a time, and sat at the back of the bus thinking.

The lobsters in the country are not small, and one can cost more than three yuan. A catty is thirty or forty crayfish. Thirty or forty crayfish can already be stacked into a fairly high dish.

Thinking carefully about the matters related to the crayfish, the more Chen Song thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

But after all, it was still 83, and the outside market was not too popular with crayfish, so Chen Song planned to test the waters first.

When the car arrived at Chenjia'ao, Chen Song got out of the car and went straight to several ditches, planning to get a wave of crayfish for himself before it was dark.

Walking halfway, Chen Song remembered that he had nothing with him, only a bamboo basket containing dendrobium, how would he catch it later?
You can't really grab them one by one with your hands, can you?

The house at home was newly built, and I originally wanted to go to the county to get some furniture and come back. I came back early because of the crayfish. I didn’t even buy furniture and daily necessities. How could there be fishing nets and the like.

It's not good to borrow from my father.

If the father knew about it, the sister-in-law next door must know about it too, maybe there would be some gossip.For the time being, Chen Song doesn't want his family to know what he wants to do, at least he has to get things on the right track before he can tell them.

"Hey, I seem to have seen an open fishing net at Wang Yao's house last time, which can be used to catch shrimp." Chen Song recalled the last time he stayed at Wang Yao's house, couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up to take a shower, and saw the fishing net in the corner of the yard.

"Then go to Wang Yao's house to borrow a net to try."

Just doing what he said, Chen Song turned around and went straight to Wang Yao's house.

Walking into her yard, Chen Song saw Xiao Yaoyao playing with mud in the corner of the yard, making her face covered in mud, but she was still playing with a smile on her face, without any scruples about her image as a little fairy.

When Xiao Yaoyao saw someone entered the house, she quickly got up, and when she saw that it was Chen Song, she jumped up happily and shouted: "Mom, mom, uncle is here."

While shouting, he had already run towards Chen Song.

Chen Song hugged Xiao Yaoyao, picked her up and twirled around, which made Xiao Yaoyao giggle, so happy.

"Yaoyao, come down, uncle just came back from the county, don't make uncle exhausted." Wang Yao came out, she was cooking, when she heard Yaotiao's shout, she hurried out.

Yaotiao struggled to get down, but Chen Song protected her and let her fall to the ground.

"Uncle, do you want to bring something delicious for Yaoyao? How about something delicious?"

Yaoyao stretched out her hand in embarrassment, looked at Chen Song, and looked at Chen Song's empty bamboo basket, pouted her mouth, as if she was about to cry.

Chen Song was embarrassed.

Oops, forgot!

Just because I wanted to come back early to try the crayfish, I actually forgot the delicious food promised to Xiao Yaotiao.

This is a promise that was pulled on the hook, and it must not be counted.

Seeing Chen Song's distressed look, Wang Yao immediately knew that he might have forgotten, so she came over and pulled Xiao Yaoyao: "Okay, Yaoyao, Mom has told you several times, you are not allowed to take other people's things."

"Oh."

Xiaoyao pouted even higher, and the whole little person exuded an aura that called me unhappy.

Chen Song thought about it, and quickly thought of a countermeasure: "Xiao Yaoyao, uncle didn't forget to bring you something. Uncle saw a delicious food in the city, so he came back and thought about making it for Xiao Yaoyao."

"Really, the delicious ones in the city!"

Xiao Yaotiao broke away from her mother's hand, approached Chen Song in a bouncing manner, and looked at Chen Song with wide eyes.

"Of course it's true, but uncle has to find something first, so that little Yaotiao can make something delicious." Chen Song comforted the little girl.

"Don't be so busy, you've been tired all day, how can she have so many demands as a child." Wang Yao didn't want to bother Chen Song, so she immediately interrupted Chen Song.

"Don't worry, I just want to try it. Sister Wang Yao, lend me your fishing net, and I'll be right back." Chen Song pointed to the triangular open fishing net in the yard that had been placed for a long time: "Don't eat dinner, I'll be fine soon. The child's promise must be fulfilled, otherwise she won't trust adults in the future."

Wang Yao nodded, and pulled out the fishing net placed in the corner.

The fishing net is still in good condition, and Wang Yao hasn't used it in the past few years, so she just left it like this.

"Little Yaotiao is waiting for uncle." Chen Song took the fishing net, touched Yaotiao's head, turned around and walked towards the ditch.

The ditch in Chenjia'ao is not too deep, it probably submerges to the thigh, but it is relatively wide, about two meters wide, like a small river rather than a ditch.

There are not many people here, at most, some naughty children come here to play in the water. The adults will not allow the children to go to the nearby rivers and reservoirs, so the children will only come here, and the adults will go to the river to wash clothes. The water there is clearer, unlike the ditch, where there are many algae.

There are a lot of aquatic plants growing on both sides of the ditch. Chen Song looked at the aquatic plants and found a lot of crayfish in them. They were hidden in the aquatic plants, not to mention densely packed, but definitely a lot of them.

Chen Song was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered the fishing net from the middle of the ditch, and slowly moved to the water plants on the shore. When the fish net covered the water plants, Chen Song quickly pulled up and lowered the fishing net several times, forcing the crayfish hidden in the water plants to escape.

But how could these crayfish escape, this piece of aquatic plants has long been covered by fishing nets.

Chen Song lifted the fishing net, and in an instant, dense red crayfish were picked up by the fishing net, and Chen Song poured them all into the bamboo basket.

Preliminary weighing by hand showed that Chen Song's net contained at least two catties of crayfish.

Chen Song suddenly burst into laughter.

Prepared in this way, the fishing net picked up a lot of crayfish one after another, and soon, there were more than ten catties of lobsters in the bamboo basket.

Not only that, Chen Song also harvested more than a catty of snails and a few small fish.

"These lobsters are too overflowing." Chen Song got so many in a short time, feeling a little emotional.

That is to say, in this era, lobsters have not been sought after. Otherwise, there are so many lobsters that the villagers would have sold them for money. Usually, the villagers themselves would not eat this kind of food.

"Let's do this first, Xiao Yaoyao is still waiting for me."

Chen Song played a ditty, and walked happily to Wang Yao's house with a dozen catties of lobster and other aquatic products.

What he didn't see was that the villagers who saw him all pointed and whispered something.

Chen Song didn't see it, and Egg Tart probably wouldn't care if he saw it. Thinking about it, he knew what these people were talking about. It was nothing more than a mess with Wang Yao. Wang Yao himself said that he would not be affected, so Chen Song didn't bother to talk to them.

Right now, food is the most important thing.
