i have a mountain

Chapter 219

Finally, when noon came, several people dug up three full boxes of shepherd's purse, which were still under compaction, and if they had to go back and pour it into the basin, at least half of the basin would have to be filled.

On the way back, I happened to meet the fishing couple collecting their nets. When the white sticky nets were lifted out of the water, fish sticking to them could be seen from time to time. Yu Fei handed over the basket in his hand to Shi Fang and took two An excited little girl ran down.

Ha~ Their harvest is good today. It is estimated that they have just sent it up. There are many golden crucian carps in a large basin half filled with water on the ground. The big ones are as big as the soles of adults. Plate crucian carp.

Luckily, there are still a few not-so-small pouty mouths, and one looks heavy.

"Father, let's take all these fish home and raise them." Guoguo's nature of raising small animals came out again at this time.

"Still raising?" Yu Fei asked: "The crucian carps were all raised by you last time."

She insisted on raising the crucian carp that she dug up when digging the fish pond last year, but one day her parents forgot to cover it up, and when she got up the next morning, there were only a few fish left in the pot. Many cat paw prints were found beside the basin.

Guoguo pouted and said, "It's all because Grandpa didn't like it, and let the cat eat it."

"What about the rest?" Yu Fei said, "Didn't you also eat the rest?"

"Then it's grandma's fault, who made her fried fish so delicious." After speaking, she sucked her lips.

"Greedy cat." Yu Fei scratched her nose and said.

Guoguo rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not a greedy cat."

After speaking, Xiaoyingzi grabbed one side and said, "This is the greedy cat."

"You are a greedy cat."

"You are the greedy cat."

The two little girls immediately started fighting, and after Yu Fei told them not to fall into the river, he said to the woman: "Put all these upturned mouths, and pick some bigger crucian carp." And put it on."

"That's good." The woman said, she found a bag from the carriage and started to pack the fish. The two little girls stopped arguing for a while, and quietly watched her pack the fish.

After putting all these things together, the woman didn't even need to weigh them, she just picked them up with her hands and said, "This must weigh at least fifteen catties, and I'll give you the current market price of eight yuan per catty, a total of one hundred and twenty catties." , you can give me 100 yuan."

Yu Fei simply took out 100 yuan from his pocket and gave it to her, took the fish and said, "If you catch any more pouts, send them to me later, that's the fish I just told you about." place."

The woman was even happier after receiving the money. After looking at the money, she put it in her pocket and said, "Well, as long as you catch it, I'll send it to you right away."

Yu Fei nodded, greeted the two little girls and walked back.

"Father, why are you eating fish for lunch today?" Guoguo asked.

"Didn't you say to eat shepherd's purse dumplings?" Xiaoyingzi asked the same.

"Shall we eat both?" Yu Fei asked the two of them.

"Okay!" The two little girls also raised their hands and cheered.

……

When he returned to the farm, Shi Fang was washing a pot of shepherd's purse, and old man Zhang was helping out. Yu Fei saw the truck parked at the farm and asked, "Where's Aowei?"

Old man Zhang looked up at him and said: "I was abducted by a bottle of wine from Young Marshal Lu. He said that there were not enough manpower at the trash collector, so I asked him to help."

While pouring the fish into the basin, Yu Fei said: "If you let Young Marshal Lu know that his plan for poverty alleviation is said to be collecting junk, I don't know how sad it will be."

"Tch~ Still sad?" Old man Zhang said disdainfully, "Why don't you collect the trash? With his little thought, he can deceive others, but how can he deceive me?"

"Then do you know what he's thinking?" Yu Fei said while pouring water into the basin, and pushed aside the two little girls who were stretching out their hands to catch fish.

Old man Zhang curled his lips and said: "Isn't it because I want to use the method of casting a net to get a few antiques. If I come across one or two, I will pay back my capital and even make money. If you are lucky, you can find it." Wouldn't it be sent out after two or three pieces?"

Yu Fei gave him a thumbs up and said, "If everyone thinks like you do, then Young Marshal Lu's poverty alleviation efforts will be considered a complete failure."

"It may not be all hits." Old man Zhang said thoughtfully: "At least if someone from the town government comes forward, it won't be a complete failure."

Yu Fei started to kill fish with a knife, and said: "You all think too much, in fact, Young Marshal Lu went there for the rags, and even helped the poor by the way, he just wanted to find some old things to fill the upcoming construction homestay."

Old man Zhang asked: "Then if you say so, can those cow jackets of my family be exchanged for money?"

"It's ok, as long as it's useless, it's fine if you have the old cow trough." Yu Fei said: "But you shouldn't be short of money now, if you need money for something Say it to me."

"Cough cough." Old man Zhang coughed twice and said, "I'm not short of money, but those things are useless at home. It can exchange some pocket money and free up some space. It's not killing two birds with one stone. "

Yu Fei looked at him seriously, and seeing that he didn't look reluctant, he withdrew his gaze and said: "It depends on your mood, if you feel that letting go is purely in the way, then take it over to Young Marshal Lu, but it's not necessary Worry, this activity is estimated to last at least for a long time."

"Well, I'll find time to bring the things over in two days." Old man Zhang nodded and said.

After speaking, he said to Shi Fang: "Go and make the noodles, I will take care of these shepherd's purses."

Shi Fang nodded, told the two little girls not to make trouble, and went to the kitchen. The two little girls nodded obediently, but when Shi Fang entered the kitchen, they ran away in an instant.

Yu Fei could vaguely hear the conversation between the two.

"...Do those two little rabbits really know how to eat strawberries..."

"...I'm sure I will, I won't lie to you..."

……

Yu Fei shook his head and didn't care about them, children should have children's games, he glanced at old man Zhang who was busy with a pile of shepherd's purse, and then turned his attention to the basin of fish in front of him.

Crucian carp is relatively big, so it would be a waste to stew it, and it would have too many thorns if it is braised in brown sauce. He suddenly remembered the fried fish that Guoguo said just now, and immediately thought of the scene when he was a child.

At that time, he was still relatively young, and he often followed a group of older children. When they went down the river to fish, he would help them pick up fish on the bank, and in the end he would always get a few big crucian carp.

After he happily took it home, his mother would marinate the fish and mix it with batter and fry it in a pan. When both sides were fried until browned, the fish inside would be cooked and could be placed on a plate layer by layer. Peel and eat.

Don't worry about being stuck by the fishbone. When the fish is finished eating, a relatively complete fish skeleton will be left on the plate.

He always thought that it was the most delicious fish in the world. Even if the living conditions improved later, the fish was fried in oil, and he didn't think it was as delicious as the fish fried by his mother.
