Chapter 5 Fishing
In a blink of an eye, Liu Feiyun has settled in the mountain village for more than a month, and her body has almost recovered. The weather has started to cool down and the leaves have turned yellow. What will the winter in this world be like?
These days, Liu Feiyun has given the children a holiday. Because of the autumn harvest, the busy farming needs manpower, so he harvested and dried the crops when the cold rain came.
Liu Feiyun was originally planning to experience this kind of life, but since he arrived in junior high school, he gradually forgot about this feeling.
Seeing that Liu Feiyun was going down the field, Li San blocked his way: "Feiyun, what's this for? Go back, don't come down, don't come down."
"Why is this? Uncle Li, we can harvest all the crops faster," Liu Feiyun was puzzled.
"You are a scholar, how can you do such dirty work? You must not be able to get out. Just watch your uncle do it."
"It's better not to come when you fuck me." Liu Feiyun glanced blankly, and then continued: "Uncle Li, I can be considered as training myself, and it's okay to just cut rice."
"no."
No matter how much Liu Feiyun was persuading, Li Sanchuang refused to give in, and even walked up and pulled Liu Feiyun to his house, muttering: "Feiyun, you have to remember your identity. Doing farm work is the business of us farmers. You are responsible for teaching your children well. You can also review the books and get a good fortune in the next year. You won't have to worry about this life."
"Remember uncle's words, when you get home, you can go in and have a good rest."
Seeing Li San leaving, Liu Feiyun was speechless, what about it?
This is not possible, so let’s try it in other places. During the busy farming season, people are most needed. He believes that some villagers will definitely be happy to be like this.
Unfortunately, no one was willing to let him go down the field. In order not to let him go down the field, many farmers even went ashore to chat with him, allowing him to eat and drink for nothing.
"You..." Liu Feiyun sighed: "This really won't be like this."
Liu Feiyun wanted to pester her, but the villagers were not stupid. They sent someone to call Li Geng. When he stood there, Liu Feiyun felt relieved when he looked at this very senior old man.
Then he was taken home by Li Geng himself, and he kept nagging on the road, giving him a great advice.
"Feiyun, you are a scholar and a scholar. Remember that your task is to study. In the future, you will have to govern the country. How can you be so ignorant of the importance?"
"Feiyun, the fields are dirty. If you get something in contact with it, how can you make us worthy of you?"
"Feiyun, the children still need you to teach them well. You have worked very hard during this period. You have a good rest at this time. I feel distressed when I am tired."
"Feiyun..."
Liu Feiyun was defeated and shook his face, as if he was really guilty at this moment. He sat in the room blankly, his mouth twitching, and his face was so dark.
"You really are, don't you just do some farm work? As for what I say, it seems like I am guilty. Looking back at the time, people in this city were rushing to experience farm work."
There was no choice but to wander around the mountains to see if he could find a replacement for chalk, but he still had no results, which made him discover a few wild camellia trees.
He doesn't have many hobbies. In the past, he had only studied wine and tea. After experimenting, he drank a cup of tea to wake up his mind. He once asked tea farmers about the technique of stir-frying tea, but he didn't have time to study it carefully. But now if you study it, there is still no problem with stir-frying tea.
Transplant a few tea trees into your own yard. Now is not the best season to pick, so keep them first.
The autumn harvest was processed in the shortest time, and the villagers were not idle after that because there was really not much food, they also needed to prepare some mountain goods and fish to store, or sell them for food.
There are also fish ponds in the village, which are opened once every autumn harvest. However, their way to raise fish is to release them directly, without feeding any feed, and the fish grows small and reproduce slowly.
There was a ceremony before the pond opened, thanking nature for its gifts and praying for a better harvest in the coming year.
After that, we caught fish, and we basically rely on our hands to catch them, and each one depends on our abilities. However, afterwards, everyone will still help each other and everyone can get some fish.
"Okay, everyone, the next step is to start fishing. It takes two hours. No matter how many you catch, you must stop."
The ceremony was presided over by the most respected Li Geng, and the reason why the time was set was for sustainable development.
"Get moving, kids."
"roar."
The villagers were already eager to try. After Li Geng gave the order that he could, everyone jumped into the water.
Liu Feiyun was also preparing to jump down with everyone, but at some point, Li Geng had already walked to him and pressed his shoulder directly and said, "Feiyun, these young men are really energetic. Those little guys are very good. You have your contributions here. Thank you for your teachings these days."
"It should, it should." Liu Feiyun said perfunctorily. His eyes were always staring at the fish pond and the passionate villagers. He wanted to go down and go with them immediately. Catch fish. What a scene he missed, these are all memories of his childhood.
But Li Geng didn't want him to go into the water, and he didn't know where the old man got so much strength. He pressed Liu Feiyun's shoulder and made him almost unable to move. He continued, "Flying Fish, don't wade into the muddy water. Just watch with me. Then I will make the decision and give you the biggest one."
What are I going to do with fish? I was tired of eating it when I was a child, and he didn't like these freshwater fish with small burrs.
Looking at Li Geng with a bitter face, Li Geng didn't know what he was thinking, but he just refused to let go. How could Liu Feiyun, as an intellectual, do such a vulgar thing?
Seeing that the ground was drying hot, a big fish was thrown ashore from time to time, and the small fish would be released again.
It has to be said that the ancients' hands-on ability seemed to be not difficult to fish in the water that was halfway high.
"This old man is really. As for it, if I don't let me do this, I won't let me do it." Liu Feiyun secretly complained in his heart. They are all human beings, don't treat them differently.
The time for fishing passes in joy, two hours, according to modern calculations, four hours, and it will pass soon.
The fish were strung by everyone with straw ropes and divided according to their efforts. Some of them would be divided into the elderly and widowed people in the village, or even poorer people.
Everyone took these fish home to pickle and store them. The reason why they didn't sell them for money is that these fish could not be sold alive in the city and were not worth much money.
Liu Feiyun may have a solution to this, but he will not take it out easily. The last tiger skin incident made him understand that if he does not have the ability to protect himself, he may easily get into trouble and even endanger his life.
Li Geng did not break his promise and really gave Liu Feiyun the largest grass carp, weighing about ten pounds. The villagers were not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction, and even wanted to give more.
Liu Feiyun quickly declined and said, "No, this one is enough. I can't finish it alone, and it will break if too much." He doesn't like to eat stale fish.
In the evening, the smoke from the cooking stove was curling. Liu Feiyun was preparing to deal with the big grass carp he had just obtained. He had planned to eat one fish and three, fish head soup, pickled fish and fried fish cubes.
There is no shortage of materials, and other ones can be replaced by others. The main thing is salt, which is very thick, with a little dark yellow color, and is not as fine as modern as snow-white, which is not easy to taste.
He also understood that it was nothing more than some physical applications, such as dissolution and adsorption, and then filtering and crystallization.
This is also a secret that cannot be leaked, at least now, cannot be known to everyone. After secretly making it, Liu Feiyun started cooking after spending a lot of time to get the salt he was satisfied with.
In ancient times, there was nothing but sauerkraut. It was very common to pickle in ancient times because there was no effective storage method, and the excess food must be basically pickled.
After cooking and frying, three plates of dishes were finally prepared, and another pot of vegetables was made. When they smelled the fragrance, Liu Feiyun's appetite increased sharply.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong." Just as I was about to move my chopsticks, the door was suddenly knocked, and Li Geng's voice came from outside quickly: "Feiyun, open the door."
"Grandpa Li, why are you here?" He should be having dinner at this point. Liu Feiyun was very surprised why he came at this time.
Li Geng said: "I'll take a look. You will definitely not be able to finish eating a fish so big. Moreover, you are a scholar and should not know how to pickle it. I'll teach you."
Li Geng said this to Liu Feiyun, because the whole fish had been cooked in the pot. After looking at the dishes on the table, he said, "That, Grandpa Li, you don't need to pickle it, because I've cooked all of this fish."
"It's all boiled?" Li Geng was stunned at first, but soon smelled the fragrance and turned his eyes to the table. He sniffed his nose: "It's quite fragrant, don't you mind eating it together?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind." The pickled fish is a big pot, how much can an old man eat?
Li Geng didn't say much about these dishes made by Liu Feiyun. Although he had eaten in restaurants, he could not have tasted countless dishes in the world. He thought that this should be the dish that Liu Feiyun had eaten in the family before, so he knew how to make it. He deserved to be a knowledgeable person.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious." After taking the first bite, the spicy and fresh fragrance exploded in his mouth, which was a wonderful taste. This was the first time he had such a delicious thing, and then Li Geng's hands never stopped.
He didn't say anything. At first, Liu Feiyun didn't care. He slowly ate his own rice with dishes. This pure natural ingredients were indeed not comparable to that of modern fertilizers. But soon he realized something was wrong. Why didn't the dishes on this plate be so fast?
"I'll just go, this is the appetite that an elderly man should have!" Liu Feiyun was stunned, but he ignored one thing. He walked like a young man at this age, and there might be nothing strange about eating too much.
"Okay, I'm full, I'll leave first." After eating, I wiped it clean and left. Li Geng didn't feel any shame at all. He had already walked out, but as soon as he got out, he immediately shrank back and said, "I'll bring fish again tomorrow."
The meaning is very obvious, I will come and have a free meal tomorrow.
