Chapter 628: Whole Fish Banquet and Gift Package

Those who were the first to follow Mushan River knew that there had been no large-scale fishing from the farm to the reservoir. In the past, although nets were occasionally pulled to round up the fish, most of them caught some carp and gave them to some close friends as New Year gifts.

This year, Mushanhe decided to fish in winter, but planned to catch more at once. Because the reservoir has not been fished for many years, farm workers and family members are curious about how many fish can be caught in this large reservoir.

As the first net fishing was over, many regular farm workers who joined in the fun also began to help unpack the fish. These fish, which are pulled onto the ice and will soon be frozen, are also transported and quickly piled up on the cleared ground in the reservoir.

The family members of the employees who were watching the excitement looked at the frozen fish in the fish and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the first net caught so many fish. It seems that after a while, each family will share a big fish." There are enough fish!”

"Yes! Many of these fish seem to weigh thirty or forty pounds. Such a fish may be enough to feed a family for a long time."

"Hmm! Such a big fish, if sold in the market, I'm afraid it could fetch a lot of money!"

"Such a delicious fish can be sold casually. If it's too expensive, people won't want to buy it. But if it's too cheap, it's a pity."

Compared with people outside the farm, they only know that the fish raised in the farm reservoir are delicious, but they rarely have the opportunity to taste it. Everyone knows that Matiling Farm is not short of money, so there is no need to catch fish from the reservoir in exchange for money.

So if you want to eat fish from the reservoir, you have to see whether Mu Shanhe is willing or not!

"Well, it's winter now. It shouldn't take much time to transport it to the capital. The taste of these fish is indeed very different. Let me send some back so that the old man and the others can have a try."

"Even if you don't say anything about this, Shanhe will do it if you think about it. However, we'll talk about this later!"

"There must be! These fish are so big that they are almost piled up into a hill now."

For Xu Siwen and others who participated in this kind of winter fishing for the first time, they were shocked to see the fish caught in the winter piled up in a hill. Thinking of the deliciousness of these fish, he suddenly said: "Honey, let's get a few more later!"

"Wow, I really didn't expect that there are so many fish in the reservoir. They are almost several thousand kilograms, right?"

"What? You want to send some back to the capital?"

Lin Nianjia, who knew Mu Shanhe's style of conduct, felt that in addition to providing benefits to the farm workers, those who were close to him would probably arrange for fish to be sent as New Year gifts to his cousin!
As for catching more fish in exchange for money, she felt it was impossible for Mu Shanhe to do that. Even if these fish are sold for tens of yuan per catty, how much does it cost? The most important thing is that it is impossible for him to sell it at such a sky-high price!
Giving it away as a gift seems to be the most appropriate way to deal with it!
When Mu Shanhe took Zhao Zhicheng and others, they continued to lower the net along the selected location. Each time the fishing net is pulled up, thousands of kilograms of fish can be caught. Every time a fish comes out of the water, onlookers cheer.

Amid the discussion among the onlookers, Mu Shanhe also instructed the farm workers to send some fish directly to the canteen to be used as meat in the lunch canteen. Regarding this arrangement, the family members of the surrounding employees all felt that they had to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Although these employees and their families are now allocated their own houses and yards on the farm. But many times, they choose to eat in the cafeteria. But during the holidays, I would choose to cook at home to improve the food.

Even though the food in the canteen is quite good, they will occasionally start cooking by themselves after eating for a long time. Anyway, eating at home and eating in the cafeteria definitely feel different sometimes! When Mu Shanhe discovered that the number of big fish in the reservoir had dropped sharply after this winter fishing, he said: "Old Zhao, okay, this is the end of this year's winter fishing! I estimate that the number of fish in the reservoir will We should catch a third of them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhicheng was shocked and said: "Mr. Mu, we caught almost 20,000 to 30,000 catties of fish!"

"I guess it should be about the same! What's wrong? Do you think it's missing?"

"No! I think, given the size of our reservoir, can't there be 100,000 catties of fish in this reservoir?"

"If we really want to open the reservoir to fishing, I guess there will definitely be. Otherwise, how can I say that there are too many fish in the reservoir and a large-scale fishing is necessary! There are too many big fish, which is not good for the small fish in the reservoir. grow.”

Most of the fish caught this time were mainly big fish. But even so, some valuable cold-water fish were still caught. For smaller fish, throw them directly back into the reservoir when untying the net.

In the words of Mu Shanhe, there is no need to catch fish weighing less than ten pounds. Most of the big fish caught this time were bullheads, carp and grass carp, with a large proportion of bullheads among them.

And similar to other relatively rare fish, a lot of them were also caught. For these fish, Mushanhe also asked Zhao Zhicheng and others to put them together separately. These rare and excellent cold-water fish are undoubtedly a good choice for gift giving.

When the winter fishing was over, Mu Shanhe also instructed Zhao Zhicheng to distribute one big fish and one carp to each farm employee according to the list of farm employees. If it is a family with two formal workers, these four fish alone may be able to receive nearly a hundred catties.

Faced with such benefits, these employees and their families are naturally happy. Even Mu Youda, who came to join in the fun, directly moved a few fish and put them on the car, and then transported them back to his home, intending to enjoy them slowly with his family.

Of course, in addition to the big fish and grass carp, he also got a few rare fish. Regarding such distribution results, farm workers will not say much. Everyone knows that the relationship between the Mu family and Mu Shanhe is unusual!

When night fell, Mu Shanhe also cooked a sumptuous fish feast for the people who were celebrating the New Year together at his home. Everyone was very surprised when they saw the fish head with chopped pepper steamed in a large plate.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a big pepper fish head.”

After hearing this, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "That's natural! Fortunately, the steamer at home is big enough, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to steam such a big fish head. This fish head is very fresh, you can all try it later, This dish is usually rare!”

At Mu Shanhe's invitation, everyone also began to taste these delicacies made with various fish. Even children like the fish balls stewed with fish meat and the steamed rare fish.

Accordingly, after dinner, Mu Shanhe also clearly informed Xu Siwen that without his special instructions, he had already arranged for someone to transport several thousand kilograms of fish to the capital. At that time, these fish will be sent to those people who have made good friends.

The Xu family and Liu family are naturally among them. Even Su Hong and other families as far away as Xiangcheng received a gift package of whole fish specially frozen and airlifted from Mushanhe before the New Year's Eve dinner. After hearing the news, both old men Su Hong felt very sorry.

In their view, if they could be on the farm right now, they would have the opportunity to participate in winter fishing. After living on the farm for a long time, they don't know that the fish raised in the reservoir are no less than the top-quality seafood they often eat!
