Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 285 It’s bad luck for a dog
After making the slingshot, Wang An poured the forest frogs and croakers into a large basin, and then soaked them in water.

This is the simplest and fastest way to defrost.

Seeing these things, Wang Dazhu asked: "Are these fish and toads exchanged for meat?"

Wang An didn't think much about it and said smoothly: "It can be regarded as an exchange. I bought it with the money from selling meat."

Wang Dazhu sucked his teeth and said:
"What does it cost to eat this thing? Be diligent, won't you get hit by digging a hole in the ice?"

Only then did Wang An realize that his father was worried about money.

People in this era are like this. Absolutely no one will spend money to buy things that can be obtained without spending money.

But in this day and age, if rural people want to eat fish, no one will really spend money to buy it.

Because in the Black Province, wherever there is water, there are basically fish.

When there is no ice in the river, you can find a place with many fish and cast a net to catch a lot of fish.

When the fish that should jump out have finished jumping out by themselves, then use a dip net or a large fence (zhao li) to fish them out and the job is done.

Wang An looked at Wang Dazhu and said with a smile:

While waiting for the fish and forest frogs to thaw, Wang An went to Westinghouse's cotton coat pocket to take out the money.

Wang Dazhu glanced sideways at Wang An and muttered in a low voice: "Prodigal thing."

At this time, the wood frog will swim towards the ice hole just like the fish.

Although Wang An heard it, he had to pretend that he didn't hear it.

After patting his thigh, Wang An gritted his teeth and said one word:

The same goes for wood frogs. A sudden hole in the ice will awaken the wood frogs in hibernation.

However, when Wang An took out the money, he also touched the apples and oranges. Seeing the apples and oranges in his hand, Wang An slapped his thigh hard.

However, although there are many fish, there are all kinds of fish, and ordinary fish, that is, miscellaneous fish, account for the vast majority.

"grass!"

All I can think about every day is talking nonsense with Fang Xiu'e.

Of course, you can put a cage on the ground or something like that, but in short, there are definitely plenty of fish.

He actually completely forgot about such a serious matter as the dogs being injured.

Because Wang An forgot something important, buying medicine for the dogs.

"Isn't this a lack of time? Besides, there are a lot of trash fish that are not tasty. It takes a lot of time to catch some delicious fish."

All this is actually just because of the influx of air after the ice cave was dug, which made the water near the ice cave relatively rich in oxygen.

The more expensive and delicious fish such as "Three Flowers, Five Luo and Eighteen Seeds" are mixed in, and they only occupy a small part.

In winter, if you just dig a hole in the ice, fish will jump out on their own.

Or just find a wider river surface and throw in half a bowl of leftover rice or cornmeal or something.

Then wait for a while, the fish will gather here, and finally cast a net, and the fish will be serious.

It’s really a “basic bully” that’s delaying things!
After a while, Wang An sighed, took the money, oranges and apples, and walked to the east room.

I have already forgotten, what else can I do? No move.

It can only be considered that the dog is unlucky to have an owner like himself.

When Wang An put money on the kang, his family didn't take it seriously because they were completely used to it.

Everyone knows apples, but looking at yellow oranges, the whole family is very curious.

Wang Xiaoli pointed at the orange and asked: "Cauldron, what is this?"

Just as Wang An was about to speak, Liu Guilan asked hesitantly: "What is this? Orange?"

In the rural areas of Northeast China in this era, there were only a few kinds of fruits, and they were basically found in the mountains.

Fruits like oranges grown in the south are extremely rare.

You must know that transportation in this era was quite underdeveloped. It was not ordinary to move things from the south to the north, or transport things from the north to the south.

Because in this era of long-distance transportation like this, the only means of transportation is the train.

The capacity and speed of trains are nothing compared to China's population of more than one billion. It's better in big cities, and county towns may also have a share. If it's in rural areas, don't even think about it, it won't happen at all.

So it's not surprising that none of his family members know him, because he hasn't even had a chance to meet him.

Of course, the specialties of the north are also not available in the rural areas of the south.

Wang An said with a smile: "Well, this is an orange. Mom, you still know about oranges, okay!"

Liu Guilan looked at the orange, turned her head and rolled her eyes at Wang An and said:

"I just heard your uncle say it a few years ago, but I've never seen it."

Then, Liu Guilan asked with a smile: "Where did you make this rare thing?"

Wang An said in a very calm tone:

"Oh, I used to have a buddy. We met in the county town, and he gave it to me."

Liu Guilan picked up an orange, looked at it and said, "Isn't this thing very expensive?"

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, and pretended to be casual and said:

"I don't know. He didn't spend any money on what he gave me."

But Wang An continued: "Don't look at it, just eat all these things."

After Wang An finished speaking, both Wang Yi and the two little sisters just watched with joy but did not take action.

Because any rare thing, when the quantity is small, Liu Guilan's education for her children is that they are not allowed to take it by themselves, and they must wait for adults to share it.

Therefore, Wang Yi and his two little sisters absolutely did not dare to move and would not move.

Before Liu Guilan could study the solution, Wang An took action directly.

The whole family felt even more novel watching Wang An peeling oranges.

I saw Wang An peel an orange three times, then break it in half and give it to Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan.

In this era, filial piety is very important. No matter what you give, you must give it to your parents first.

Of course, parents will definitely not compete with their children for food.

Therefore, both Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan just broke off a piece of orange and put it into their mouths, and then continued to divide it.

How could Wang An agree, so he stretched out his hand to block his parents' movements.

They also said at the same time: "Oh, you can even eat it in your mouth, you guys just eat yours quickly."

Immediately afterwards, Wang An peeled off the peel of an orange in twos and twos, then broke it in half and gave it to the two little sisters who were watching.

Although the two little sisters are young, they are very sensible in this regard.

Therefore, the two little sisters also learned from the elder brother's operations.

He broke open the half-stretched orange in his hand and wanted to share it with Wang Yi and Mu Xueqing.

After Wang An saw it, he smiled and ignored it.

Naturally, Wang Yi and Mu Xueqing didn't want them. Wang An continued to peel the oranges and then gave them to Wang Yi and Mu Xueqing.

At this point, except Wang An, the whole family has eaten oranges.

Wang An only took one tooth of the last orange after peeling it, and then continued to share it with his family.

In fact, when Wang An took a bite, he just wanted to know what oranges tasted like in this era.

To be honest, it's sour and sweet, that's the taste, nothing special.

Although before Wang An was reborn, he had always stayed in the fence without any freedom.

But what I have to say is that before rebirth, fruits were shared among the people on the fence.

Oranges are still the most common and common type.

Wang An's decision to share the oranges naturally met with resistance from his family, but Wang An said, "I've eaten several of them," and gave up the family's opposition.

As for apples, although they are relatively rare in the winter in the Northeast, they are considered a rarity.

But as long as you are in the north, apples can be found everywhere, especially in autumn, when they are not uncommon.
