Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After turning it over in his hand, Gu Siwei was not very interested in the specific personnel, but he was particularly concerned about the total number, because he had to take out a ticket from his pocket for each quota, although he could earn it back. Yes, but how can I put it, capitalists are used to it, and some things are definitely subconscious behaviors.

"What do these people do?"

Gu Siwei flipped through the pages and found that some of the people were neither performers nor members of the Taoist community, so he selected them and asked Xiao Shuping.

Xiao Shuping was a little embarrassed and said with a little trepidation: "This is a staff member accompanying the team. They are mainly responsible for everyone's organizational discipline when we are in Hong Kong...".

"Oh I see".

Gu Siwei didn't wait for Xiao Shuping to finish, but he knew what the people on the list were doing. He understood that he didn't say he didn't want these people to follow him, so he casually turned to the next page.

After spending about ten minutes, Gu Siwei looked at the document, closed it and handed it into Xiao Shuping's hands.

"I don't think there's any problem."

"Okay." Xiao Shuping put away the documents.

Then everyone started chatting again.

"Stay for lunch."

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Siwei decided to be polite.

Xiao Shuping thought for a moment and asked, "Would it be too much trouble?"

When Xiao Shuping said this, he glanced at the large wooden basin still placed at the door of the house, which was full of children's clothes.

"It's no trouble. They won't be back at noon. If you stay, the three of us will eat two dishes and have some drinks then," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Luo Yugang said: "What good foreign wine do you have here?"

"Is that good to drink? I don't drink that much, and the domestic liquor suits me better. But if you want to drink red wine, I do have red wine here. I'll open a bottle for you when the time comes," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Luo Yugang listened and said with a smile: "Why go for a walk? We will eat here for lunch. We are both poor, and Mr. Gu is a rich man."

Now Luo Yugang can make some little jokes with Gu Siwei. The relationship between Zhou Guangxian and Zhou Guangxian has suddenly brought the two closer. Even if it is just in feeling, it is an improvement, right?

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said cheerfully: "Yes, don't leave. I'll get a big fish later. Let's stew the fish, fry two side dishes, and have a few drinks."

"Okay, then I won't bother you." What else could Xiao Shuping say now, so he could only nod in agreement.

Since we decided to eat together at noon, Gu Siwei went out and took out the net bag.

Luo Yugang saw him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"We're not talking about fish stew. How can we stew it without fish?"

"Go to the river to fish now? Can you fish it?" Luo Yugang thought that Gu Siwei's family had it, but he didn't expect that he would directly go to the river to fish.

Gu Siwei said: "Good fishing!"

"Let's go, I'll go take a look with you." Luo Yugang immediately became interested.

Xiao Shuping glanced at Da Mao lying in the distance, thought for a moment and said, "I'll join in the fun too. Being so close to the bear will make some calves cramp up."

When Xiao Shuping said this, Gu Siwei didn't laugh at him, but felt that this man was more honest. Lao Gu liked people who said something and didn't like people who pretended to be deep.

"Walk!"

Gu Siwei carried the small bucket and the net bag, and the three of them went to the edge of the cliff together and got down to the boat. Gu Siwei once again called for flowers and cubes, and the boat immediately seemed to have a motor and ran directly upstream.

"How far is it?"

Luo Yugang saw that the boat had been pulled out for almost five or six miles, and Gu Siwei had no intention of stopping, so he opened his mouth and asked.

Gu Siwei said: "There is still more than a mile away. The water is cold above. The fish there have the best meat. It is the best for making fish stew."

"Is there any difference between hot and cold water in a river?" Xiao Shuping asked.

Gu Siwei said: "Yes, there may be some underground river connected there. Anyway, the water temperature is colder than other places. It is precisely because of the cold that the fish there grow slowly, and the fish grow slowly. It’s relatively firm. If you use this kind of fish for stew, it needs to be three to four years old. If it’s too small, the meat won’t taste good. If it’s too big, the meat will be a bit old. But fish that’s three or four years old is just right. ".

"I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable about this," Xiao Shuping said with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "What kind of research is there? I just have nothing to do at home alone, so I just wonder about it."

Xiao Shuping doesn't believe this. Is there nothing to do? There are so many companies that say you have nothing to do. Isn’t that nonsense?

"arrive!"

Just when Xiao Shuping was still thinking about what to say next, he heard Gu Siwei shouting.

Following Gu Siwei's shouts, the boat gradually slowed down and finally stopped on the water. Only then did Xiao Shuping realize that the current river water was far less turbulent than the section where Gu Siwei's house was, and was as smooth as a mirror without waves. generally.

"Hey, this water is amazing!"

At this time, Luo Yugang stretched his head to look outside the side of the ship, and was immediately shocked by what he saw.

When Xiao Shuping saw this, he stretched out his head and looked outside, and suddenly found that the entire lake was actually transparent. You could see the river bed at a glance. When the sun's rays shined into the water and then reflected from the water to the bottom of the river bed, the shadows of the fish were visible. Then it was projected.

"This water is so clear." Luo Yugang picked up a hand and put it in his hand.

"It's really a bit cold."

Xiao Shuping also imitated Luo Yugang's example and took a handful of water, and suddenly felt as if his hand was reaching into the ice water.

The weather has warmed up now, and with a few small rays of the sun, the temperature of the water surface is generally at least ten degrees, but the water here is probably only five or six degrees now, which is indeed higher than normal. The river surface is quite cold.

"It would be nice to swim here in the summer."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "You can come in the summer, and no one will stop you then. When the summer is the hottest, our whole village is almost soaking in the water. If you are more, you will not be more, and if you are less, Quite a few."

"That's settled," Luo Yugang said happily.

Gu Siwei hummed and went to get the net bag.

"That's it?"

Luo Yugang looked at Gu Siwei and found that except for the net bag, there were no other tools in the boat, oh, and the iron bucket he was carrying outside.

Gu Siwei said: "Why do you need so many things? I have two helpers."

As he said this, Gu Siwei pointed at the flowers and squares in the water.

Xiao Shuping said: "Then why don't you just let them catch you and still hold the net bag yourself?"

"They catch it? How do they catch it, swallow the fish in their mouths and then spit it out to me? How disgusting is that," Gu Siwei said.

"It's a normal thought. It's a bit disgusting to hear you say that, but have you ever thought that these two big fish might swallow small fish for fun in normal times?" Luo Yugang said.

"That's because I can't see it. Out of sight, out of mind, I still care about that."

After Gu Siwei laughed twice, he shouted to the grass flowers and cubes in the water: "Catch some fish here."

As soon as the grass flowers and cubes heard this, they quickly plunged into the water.

The water was transparent, so Luo Yugang and Xiao Shuping on the boat could see the two fish chasing each other. They saw two giant fish moving left and right in the water, twisting their huge bodies wantonly. At this time, they saw There is still no beauty in seeing two big fish, because they are too big. You can feel the swimming posture of a fish of a few dozen centimeters, but you have to worry about a fish weighing several hundred kilograms no matter how it wanders around your boat. Take a breath in your heart.

"Oh! They are trapping fish, trapping fish." Luo Yugang watched the two giant shadows flipping back and forth in the water for a while. Unknowingly, their tails brought up the water flow and began to trap some fish, and then twisted them He drove the fish towards the boat.

"This guy is so amazing!" Luo Yugang's eyes almost popped out of his head. He had heard of people training dogs and horses, but he had never seen anyone training fish.

Of course, dolphins don't count. Those things have very high IQs. Now two big river fish have also shown things beyond Luo Yugang's cognition. How can he not be surprised.

Seeing the school of fish being driven over by grass flowers and cubes, Gu Siwei picked up his net bag and set up a stance next to it.

As the fish came over, Gu Siwei suddenly picked up the net bag, causing a splash of water. When the net bag came out of the water, there was already a lively fish waiting in the net bag.

"You guys are in for a treat today. Did you see it? Golden thread carp."

Gu Siwei lifted the net bag out of the water and showed the fish to Luo Yugang and Xiao Shuping.

Luo Yugang and Xiao Shuping stretched their heads to the side of the iron bucket and took a look at the fish in the bucket that Gu Siwei was just relieved about.

"It's really carp. Many people I met in the south don't eat carp, but you eat it here too?" Xiao Shuping asked.

"We rarely eat carp here because we think the earthy smell of carp is too strong, but the golden thread carp is different. People here are usually reluctant to eat the golden thread carp after catching it, and they have to sell it to the factory. Such a piece can be sold for at least three yuan." Gu Siwei explained briefly to the two of them.

"Three yuan? That's really expensive." Xiao Shuping nodded.

Now the monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only so much. If you eat fish like this, you will probably eat up a month's salary in less than ten days.

"It tastes good, but it's so uncommon. I've lived here for a long time, and I've seen it no more than ten times so far. So, you are in for a treat today," Gu Siwei said to the two of them with a smile.

Xiao Shuping said: "Then you have to taste it."

Now that we have the fish, let's go back. So the three of us sat on the boat and were pulled by Caohua and Diangzi again until the current could carry the boat down the river. Only then did Gu Siwei let Caohua and Diangi play on their own. .

Back home, Gu Siwei took out the ingredients for today's lunch, mainly some mushrooms from the mountains, which are all dry goods and need to be soaked in warm water. There are also bacon and other things that need to be soaked in water. , otherwise it would be too salty to eat.

After doing this, Gu Siwei continued to step on the unfinished clothes in his basin.
