Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 68 The Temptation of Money (2)
If it is confirmed that there are fish in it, then quickly wade into the river and block the mouth of the bottle with the palm of your hand to prevent the fish from getting out.Then return to the shore, unplug the potato bottle, and pour the fish inside into the woven basket squeezed by stones on the edge of the river.This prevents the fish from drying out and preventing them from jumping out and running away.

Then put face again, cork the mouth of the bottle, and put the bottle back to its original place.Wait for the next fish to be released.

Don't underestimate this small canning bottle. If you put down one every ten meters along the river, you can put down [-], then you can cover eight or nine catties of fish in one afternoon.What is this concept?If two catties of fish can be stewed in one plate, an ordinary family can eat four or five meals.

Of course, if you eat fish all the time, you will get tired. If you leave a meal, the rest of the fish will be salted and dried into dried fish. When there are few vegetables in winter, take out some and fry them in oil. When it turns golden yellow, eat it with porridge, which is very fragrant.

Li Yan especially likes to cover the fish, especially at the moment of picking up the fish, the joy and satisfaction cannot be expressed in words.

She doesn't like this kind of small river fish very much, but Li Dazhong likes it very much. If she can't eat it for a while, she will feel that there is something missing.

In addition to this way of covering fish, there is another kind that is also very common.Every time when the river surges, the men in the bunker will take the single-use fishing nets, and catch the fish with the nets when the water is muddy and the fish are washed to the bank.

At this time, Li Yan became a little follower, carrying a plastic bucket and a small ladle, wearing a raincoat, following Li Dazhong's rhythm along the bank, scooping river fish and crayfish from the fishing net he pocketed from time to time .

Crayfish, an aquatic creature, are a bit like crayfish, except that the front pair of chelicerae are not that big.The shell is blue-brown, and it turns bright red when cooked, and the taste is also very delicious.

When Li Yan was a child, she liked to fish for fish, shrimp and crayfish with her father when the water was high.Because that would mean a delicious meal of cricket tofu.After peeling the shells and threading the tails of the barreled crayfish one by one, use a grinder or put them on a cutting board to chop into finely minced meat, and then filter and discard the coarse residue with a cold cloth.Put the leftover gravy into the pot, add salt, monosodium glutamate, chopped green onion, bring to a boil over high heat, and it’s good to see the meat floating up.

Crayfish Tofu is delicious and unforgettable.It is also a unique hometown dish.Li Yan can often recall the scene of rolling up her trouser legs, bending over a stone slab in the river, and catching crayfish from a hole in the sand.

Later, when I was in middle school, I once saw two planes flying towards each other in the sky, with long white money drawn from their tails.Did you still think it was an aerial show?It wasn't until the next morning that layers of crickets died along the riverside that the scene was spectacular.Only then did I know that the previous plane was spraying medicine in order to exterminate the crayfish.

It was also at that time that Li Yan heard the word 'paragonimia'.Cricket crickets carry this kind of parasite, and if people eat them without cooking, they are prone to paragonimiasis.

At that time, she didn't quite understand it, and felt that this kind of behavior was too domineering, such delicious things would be killed just like that, and those who didn't give up would often rummage in the river.Facts have proved that the power of science is quite powerful. As far as this spraying is concerned, as far as she knows around Lingshui Town, there has never been a single crayfish in the larger river.Some people only occasionally find a few of them in small river ditches in the mountains.

Being able to taste this delicacy again, Li Yan was happy, but also anxious. She checked the situation in the pot from time to time, and repeatedly told her mother to cook it.This kind of behavior caused Cui Yufeng and Wu Zhilan to stare blankly, and they were driven out of the kitchen.

This kind of worry and being unable to control her greed made Li Yan think of another delicious local species.toad.

The toad mentioned here does not refer to the kind of toad whose skin is covered with venomous bumps, the scientific name is toad.It refers to a kind of forest frog that can be made into toad oil. People here are called toads.

Toad is a good thing. Not only is it delicious, but its oil has both cosmetic and medicinal value.More than 3000 years later, a catty of toad oil can usually be sold for two to three thousand yuan, and it is not cheap to live. It can be raised to three or four hundred yuan per catty before and after the winter festival, and it is usually one or two hundred yuan. .

Li Yan has a deeper impression of toads than crickets, and eats them more frequently.Compared with the booming market later, it is still in its infancy, and most people only know that there are people from the south who come to buy toad oil, and there are very few people who really use their brains in this regard.

From the perspective of market prospects alone, breeding toads is a way to make money. Although Li Yan has plans in mind, she still feels that they are not mature enough.This idea suddenly came to mind and was temporarily shelved.

With more than a week left in the summer vacation, something big happened to Lao Li's house.

Everyone in Zhoujiabaozi knew that Li Dacheng's wife, Dai Guizhen, had run away with a wild man.

According to insiders, Dai Guizhen met this wild man at a movie theater.The two of them hooked up after watching two movies together, and they didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup this man gave her, so cruelly they even left their two children behind, took the family's money and ran away with him.

When Li Dacheng found out about this, he crouched on the ground and cried with his mouth in disregard of his behavior. His nose burst into tears, tearing Wu Zhilan's mother's heart from crying.

Of the two children, Li Yanming has a cowardly personality, more like Li Dacheng, but he only knows how to cry and doesn't make a sound.Li Dan is more like Dai Guizhen, he likes to pick words and is very tricky. Hearing Wu Zhilan's scolding words, he immediately reacted: "The old lady won't let you scold my mother, so she didn't run away with anyone, just I went out to visit, and I will be back in two days."

Wu Zhilan was also angry, so she slapped her back and said, "You are a big or small girl, just like your bitch mother, no matter how old you are, who would dare to want you when you grow up? "

When looking for a partner in rural areas, you pay more attention to the situation of the other party's family members.People of the older generation pay attention to the view of "what is the root and what is the root". If the elders in the family, especially the parents, have misbehavior, it will greatly affect the marriage of the children.

An act like that of Dai Guizhen will soon be known to everyone in the world.At that time, Li Dan will find her in-law's family in a few years. When the man's family hears that she has such a mother, they will wonder whether she will be affected by heredity.When you come to the castle and ask someone, if she has this kind of personality, then the other party must have ten or nine of them, and the remaining one will not be a good dry food.

Of course Li Dacheng knew what his mother Wu Zhilan said was right, grinning and crying but he didn't forget to turn around and teach Li Dan: "Did you hear what your grandma said? If you dare to imitate your mother in the future, get out of here. Don't leave this family alone." wait."
