My 1978 Hotel

"Go get in line."

When they arrived under the big tree at the intersection, Li Feng waved to Li Ran and asked him to line up.

"cousin."

"Are you leaving now?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Muchen asked Li Feng, "Wait a minute, I'll find a teacher to take care of these little guys."

"teacher?"

Li Muchen, Liu Wen, Wu Jing and Chen Long were confused. What teacher? After a while they saw the teacher, or to be more precise, the little teacher.

"It's him."

Liu Wen is too familiar with the naughty kid who almost scared her to death, Han Mingliang.

"Don't underestimate him, he's a skilled fisherman and bird snatcher. With him leading the way, we don't have to worry about these little guys not being able to catch any fish. And he knows the reservoir better than anyone else. With him leading the way, we don't have to worry about them falling into a mud pit and not being able to get out." Li Feng smiled and waved. "Mingliang, wait a minute, you have to keep an eye on them."

"Don't worry, uncle."

Han Mingliang patted his chest. It was only one dollar a day. Of course, Han Mingliang was happy to be a teacher. Besides, it would not interfere with his fishing. He could sell the fish he caught to Uncle Feng, which was another fortune. When he thought about making more than one dollar a day, Han Mingliang was very proud. Not to mention their class, the whole school, even the adults in Hanjiaba could not make more money than him.

"Okay, all of you wait for Mingliang. Mingliang will teach you how to catch fish."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Whether or not you can eat the stewed fish depends on your performance today."

"what?"

Chen Jingyi was originally very happy, as there was another delicious meal today, stewed fish. Although she didn't particularly like fish in the past, and didn't like even the expensive sea fish, let alone the river fish with many bones, but now, after only two or three days here, she has changed her picky eating habits, and now she feels happy as long as she has steamed buns and rice to eat.

When she heard that we were having stewed fish today, she was so happy as if it was Chinese New Year. But now Li Feng said she wanted to catch fish herself. How could she have ever caught fish?

"It's okay, Jingyi, we'll catch some fish for you."

Chen Zian, her brother, and Zhang Xiaole, her cousin, both promised to give her some fish if they caught any. "But none of you have ever caught a fish before," Chen Jingyi said with a bitter face. Not only had she never caught a fish, but her brother and his cousin had never caught a fish either.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've caught fish before," Wu Xiaotian said proudly. "I'll catch a big fish and stew it, and we'll eat it together."

"Really, Xiaotian, have you ever caught a fish?"

Li Ran was a little surprised. You know, his hometown is in the countryside and he has never caught a fish.

"Of course. I caught big fish when I was traveling with my parents."

Wu Xiaotian gestured proudly, "It's almost that big." Everyone else looked surprised and a little adoring. "That's incredible!" Even Li Feng was a little surprised. After asking, they realized it was a scenic spot promotion. Well, this wasn't the same as fishing in the reservoir.

"Really, Wu Xiaotian, why didn't you tell me this was a scenic spot earlier? If I had done what you said, I don't know how many times I would have been caught." Brothers Zheng Guanwen and Zheng Guanwu were speechless. Li Ran looked at Wu Xiaotian and sighed.

“I’ve caught that too.”

Wu Xiaotian was unconvinced. "Let me tell you, I'm very capable."

"You're awesome, okay?"

The few people were speechless. Li Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to catch fish. I've found a teacher for you. He'll teach you when the time comes. As long as you listen to him, catching enough for you shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes."

Han Mingliang said confidently, "Follow me and listen to my instructions. I'm sure I'll catch enough for you to eat. Maybe there will even be some left over."

"Really?"

Li Ran and the others didn't quite believe it, as Han Mingliang didn't look even older than them.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Teacher Liu."

"Ah."

Liu Wen nodded. She knew that Han Mingliang and his group of kids were very good at catching snakes and fish. She had seen them several times in the past few days.

"Let's go. Today you just follow Mingliang. The reservoir is full of thick silt. It will be very troublesome if they get stuck in the mud. Mingliang, you take care of them. This is their first time to go fishing in the river." Li Feng instructed Han Mingliang again.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely keep an eye on them."

Han Mingliang is not alone. He plans to hire Ming Fan and Ming Liang for ten cents, and use a cookie to find Han Mingchang and a few others. With so many people looking after him, there will be no problem.

"That's alright, I'll leave it to you."

"Well, let's go."

Han Mingliang called out to Li Ran and the others. Li Feng smiled and nodded when he saw them looking at him. "You guys go ahead, we'll be there soon."

"Oh."

Li Ran and the others followed Han Mingliang away, but Liu Wen and the others were still a little worried. "Is it really okay to let a child take care of it?"

"Don't worry, no matter who has problems, this kid won't have any problems."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Okay, you guys want to go play in the water too?"

"Of course. It's rare to encounter such fun things."

"Yes, we have been miserable these past two days. Let's relax for a while." Chen Long said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go ask if there are any fishing clothes."

Fishing clothes are usually made of used inner tubes. Inner tubes are rare in Hanjiaba, and only large trucks use these tires. When I asked, I found out there were none at all. Wow, inner tubes are usually repaired, and it is impossible to replace them. It's too extravagant.

However, there were a few harpoons, and Li Feng borrowed two. As for rubber boots, let alone rubber boots, he could go into the water barefoot. Glass was a good thing these days, and broken glass could be exchanged for sugar. There was no need to worry about these things in the reservoir.

"Let's go, let's go take a look first, Anmin and the others will have to wait for a while."

Li Feng took Li Muchen, Liu Wen, Wu Jing, Chen Long and others, carrying baskets, and walked along the path along the ridge of the field. After stopping and starting for more than 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the reservoir.

"This reservoir is quite large."

Wu Jing, Chen Long and others thought the reservoir was very small, but when they arrived they found it was quite large.

"It's not small."

Li Feng said with a smile, "Almost 150 acres."

"It was a big project a few years ago."

The reservoir is crescent-shaped. There is no water on both sides, only a part of the water surface in the center, and the silt near the edge has dried up.

"Boss Li, they are there."

Li Muchen pointed to a position slightly below the middle of the crescent moon, where there was a puddle of several dozen square meters. Han Mingliang and Li Ran and a group of children were scooping water.

"Go and have a look."

Now they didn't know where to start, so they might as well go and see what Han Mingliang was doing. There were still a few puddles like this, so they might as well give it a try.

Several people walked along the dry area of the reservoir to a puddle. This guy really knew how to choose. There seemed to be very little silt in this area. You have to know that the reservoir has not been cleaned for many years and some places have about one meter of silt. If you fall into it, you will be in trouble.

"uncle."

When Han Mingliang saw Li Feng and his group coming over, he wiped the mud off his face. Compared with Li Ran and the others, Han Mingliang was considered to be the quickest.

"Any fish?"

"Yes, there are many."

Han Mingliang said happily, "I even saw a big fish head."

"is it?"

“Really, we saw that too.”

Li Ran said excitedly, "We almost caught him."

"Really? What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, just a fall."

Li Ran wiped the mud off his face. He looked quite disheveled, his whole body soaked in mud, and his hair was covered in mud. The others, with the exception of Chen Jingyi, were all in similar condition. However, they all looked quite cheerful and excited.

"Work hard, and if you catch any fish, I'll stew it for you."

"If you can't catch it, you can only drink soup."

"Look down on people."

Li Ran snorted, and several others also expressed their opinions.

"Uncle, just watch and see, we will definitely catch some fish."

Wu Xiaotian scooped water with great effort. Although he was a little tired, the thought of eating stewed fish made him full of energy. He must have been starving these past two days. "Okay, I'll wait."

"Uncle, aren't you guys coming down?" "I don't think there are any big fish in this puddle. Let's go down to the big pond and catch some big fish later."

Li Feng raised the harpoon in his hand.

"boast."

Li Ran curled his lips. His dad was not as good at catching fish as his third uncle. When he went back to his hometown, it was either his grandfather, second uncle or third uncle who caught fish with a net or a battery. He had never seen his dad catch fish, but he had seen him fishing.

Anyway, Li Ran felt that his father's fishing skills were just average.

"Hee hee hee."

Wu Xiaotian and the others didn't dare to say anything about Li Feng, but they were quite happy to hear Li Ran scolding Li Feng, regardless of Wu Xiaotian and the others. Liu Wen and the others couldn't help laughing, and even Li Muchen smiled and shook his head.

Boss Li brought his son here, which was really asking for trouble. He was scolded from time to time, but there was nothing he could do. He had to choose not to be harsh to his son. When he went back, he didn't know who to complain to.

"This kid."

Li Feng was speechless. "You have to believe in my strength."

"cut."

Li Ran curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you at all. You tricked me into coming here and I have to eat black steamed bread every day. Humph, just wait, sooner or later I will pull out your oxygen tube." But his father is so awesome that he can travel through time and space. This is just like the protagonist in a novel.

Don't let him pull out the oxygen tube from himself. Thinking of this, Li Ran was a little hesitant. Should he confront him again? No matter what, if he doesn't confront him, he will be furious. Never mind, I don't believe that he can give good things to outsiders instead of himself.

I don't know about others, but it seems possible for his dad. He treats his two godsisters much better than himself.

"Whatever this kid is thinking, the dam is about to collapse."

Li Ran smiled and pointed at the water dams that Li Ran had built.

"knew."

A few people quickly dug out some more silt and shoveled it up, and then reinforced the surrounding area with silt. Fortunately, the surrounding area was quite dry, and as long as the water scooped was not too much, it would generally not flow back.

“There really are fish.”

Li Feng was delighted because there was actually a piece of meat in the water scooped out by this guy.

"I'm afraid the fish is choking."

The puddle was muddy after being played by these little kids, and many small fish and shrimps floated to the surface.

“So many fish?”

Wu Jing, Liu Wen and others were just watching the fun. As the water in the puddle became less and less, more and more fish and shrimps floated to the surface. Some small fish and shrimps were stranded in the mud that was exposed above the water surface.

"Look, what kind of fish is that? It has a pretty big head."

"It looks like a carp, and it's quite big."

Li Feng took a glance and saw that the fish's mouth was quite big, weighing almost one or two kilograms.

"Big fish."

As the only girl, Chen Jingyi didn't participate in scooping water. She only helped reinforce the dam and observed the water surface. When she saw the big fish coming out, she quickly called her brother and cousin Zhang Xiaole to catch it.

"I'm coming."

As soon as the big fish showed its head, Chen Zian, Zhang Xiaole, Wu Xiaotian, Li Ran and other little brats from the future all came over to feed it. However, Han Mingliang and Han Mingfan didn't pay much attention to it because there was still a lot of water at that time.

The fish was not easy to catch, so we had to scoop out some water before it would be easier to catch. Sure enough, the big fish swung its tail suddenly, and everyone was left empty-handed.

"Ouch, it ran away."

"What a pity."

Wu Jing said with regret.

"That's normal. There's still plenty of water."

When Li Feng was a child, he also caught fish in canals and ditches. At this time, there was still a lot of water, so it was not easy to catch fish. Later, the water became less and more turbid. After a round of swimming, the fish and shrimps would have been short of oxygen. That was the best time to catch fish.

However, Li Feng had a harpoon. He was quite skilled at using it, and with one thrust, the carp was killed. It was so fast that no one could react.

"what."

Liu Wen was startled, but Wu Jing and Chen Long looked at Li Feng in amazement. "Amazing."

"Okay."

Li Feng held up the harpoon and smiled at Li Ran and the others. "This fish is not yours."

"This is robbery."

Li Ran was furious. His father was too shameless to steal their fish. The other children looked at Li Feng with pouting mouths, and Chen Jingyi was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's just a carp, it's not tasty."

Han Mingliang waved at Li Ran and the others. "This puddle isn't far from the central deep water. There must be some big fish there."

"Really?"

Li Ran looked at Han Mingliang.

"real."

Han Mingliang nodded. "Hurry up and scoop up some water. Don't try to catch any fish yet."

"Oh."

Li Feng took the carp off the harpoon and weighed it. It was a little over two pounds. It was okay. Although carp is not delicious, it is still a big fish and much larger than the smaller fish. "I'll make some sweet and sour carp later."

Li Feng casually put the carp into the basket and looked at the group of unconvinced little brats with a sense of pride, thinking that all their hard work had been in vain.

"Humph."

Li Ran snorted, and Li Feng laughed out loud when he saw it.

"Boss Li, you really are..."

Liu Wen didn’t know what to say. Why was she making a fuss with a few kids?

"Play with them."

As he spoke, Li Feng looked up at Han Anmin and others on the dam. What were they doing? Why did they bring a big wooden basin?

"My dad and the others are here."

Han Mingliang looked at Li Feng. "Uncle, please don't tell us about that."

"got it."

This kid never told his family about making money. I'm afraid he was saving some money to buy something. Li Feng didn't ask much. Now the kid didn't save much money. He would ask him when he saved more. If he needed to buy something then, Li Feng could give it to him as well.

It was just right to earn the money saved by this kid. Li Feng thought so and would never tell Han Anmin and the others.

"Fengzi, you guys came so early."

"A few kids wanted to catch fish, so we came here first. Anmin, why did you bring the wooden basin over here?"

Li Feng was curious. This wooden basin was quite heavy.

"The mud in the middle of the reservoir is quite deep, so it's hard to walk. It's easier to walk if you lie down in the wooden basin," Han Anmin said with a smile. "Besides, we have to release the fish we catch, and the wooden basin is a good place to put them."

"Oh I see."

"Mingliang, why are you here too?"

"Dad, Uncle Feng asked me to teach them how to catch fish."

Han Mingliang blinked at Li Feng, and Li Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, your uncle always keeps his word." Han Mingliang felt relieved.

"Then you should teach them well, and don't go to places where the water is deep and the mud is deep."

"I understand. I won't go."

Han Mingliang quickly assured.

Han Anmin ignored the boys and told everyone to prepare to go fishing in the center of the central crescent. "Try to catch all the big ones. If Wangjiazhai and Zhangjiazhuang find out in a couple of days, they won't be polite and will probably take all the small fish."

"Don't worry, Brother Anmin. You don't even know how we catch fish. We will definitely not leave a single fish for those two farms."

"Okay, get in the water."

Wow, when Li Feng heard what kind of person this guy was, he didn't plan to keep any fish for him. However, he liked it so that he could bring more knife loaches back. It was a pity that the small fish could not survive for a few days, otherwise he would have brought more back.

Seeing everyone enter the water, Li Feng told Wu Jing and the others to prepare. They weren't going to the central area to catch some water-sucking fish. They just didn't know how many razorfish they could get, so they hoped to give themselves a surprise. (End of this chapter)
