Chapter 27 Fish Flipped Over
Chapter 27 Fish Flipped Over
"I'm not talking about you. It's her eyes that light up every time she sees you." Chen Yongwei said with a smile, "If I were a woman, I wouldn't like that shorty Wang Mazi. I'd like someone like you!"
"Get lost!" Li Changle crossed his arms and looked at him defensively, "You haven't been single for too long, and you saw that I'm good-looking, so you did something to me, right?"
"…Isn't that disgusting?" Chen Yongwei looked like he had eaten shit. "You're not a female!"
Li Changle said happily: "That's good, otherwise I'll have to stay away from you!"
Chen Yongwei rolled his eyes. "If you're the same as before, refusing to listen to the truth, I'll be the same as before and stay away from you! It's frustrating just thinking about it. Who the hell is Wang Mazi? Why do you have to team up with them?"
The ignorant Li Changle who wanted to achieve success overnight has matured.
Li Changle thought so and reached out to hold A Wei's arm. "Don't worry, I won't do that again!"
Chen Yongwei nodded and smiled! "Brother, I see."
As they were talking, the two had already left the village, listening to the chirping of cicadas and frogs, and walked eastward along the long pond.
Li Changle then realized that the moon at this time was shining brightly on the ground, and there was no need to turn on the headlight or flashlight.
He looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was filled with stars as if it was spread out right above his head. Even the moon of that year was brighter than that of later generations. Even Wu Gang, who was holding an axe and chopping down an osmanthus tree, seemed to come alive.
Chen Yongwei turned his head and looked at him, "Brother, that thing you wear on your forehead is a mining lamp, right?"
"This is what Ah Huan brought back from the army. It's better than a mining lamp and can be used underwater!"
Li Changle suddenly remembered something. When he got home, he would write a letter to Ah Huan and ask him to help buy a diving suit in the army. With that, he would be able to dive into deeper seas to fish.
"Ah Huan, are you going to be discharged soon?" Chen Yongwei said enviously, "I wanted to join the navy before, but my grandma wouldn't agree. She said Taiwan hadn't been recovered yet and the two sides would have to fight sooner or later. If anything happened to me, our family would be extinct."
Li Changle thought about the time when he died, and the two sides were still arguing with each other every day without any action, "You are the only son, even if you want to go, they won't want you!"
He felt that Grandma Chen was also responsible for Ah Wei's life. She treated him like an eyeball, but she had no sense and didn't allow this or that... She only knew how to tie him up at home...
"I can't bear to leave grandma alone at home." Chen Yongwei pointed to the rice fields in front and said, "Brother, the field near the saline-alkali land is yours, and the field next to it is mine. It would be great if we could grow rice on such saline-alkali land."
Li Changle turned on the headlights and looked at his own rice, and found that it was growing well. He remembered that in the 1990s, someone in the village bought several hundred acres of saline-alkali land and used it to grow Kyoho grapes and watermelons, making a lot of money. He also made a fortune when developing the land. This time he had to act first, but he had to have money first!
"Brother, my grandma said that soybeans can be grown in saline-alkali land. How about we open up two acres of land and give it a try?"
"It's good to grow watermelons. Let's try it next year!" Before Li Changle finished speaking, there was a "splash" of water from the long pond. He turned his head and looked into the pond. "Are there fish?"
Chen Yongwei quickly turned on the flashlight and saw a large perch weighing two or three pounds floating on the bank of the pond. "Holy crap! There's really a fish!" He then pointed to the side and said, "Oh my god! There's more!"
"Hurry up and get the scoop net!" Li Changle quickly took out the scoop net from Awei's backpack, reached into the long pond and scooped up the fish. "Awei, quickly get the net bag out to put the fish in."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei quickly pulled open the net bag and caught the big bass. He shone the flashlight on the bighead carp in front of him and smiled. "Brother, there are more here. The bottom of the water is too stuffy, and the fish have come out to breathe."
Li Changle was overjoyed and started fishing immediately, "I said, the water chestnuts grow so densely and the weather is so hot, the fish in the pond will turn over sooner or later!" "Brother, I'm glad I listened to you and went to the pond bank to set the traps. Damn, there are too many fish. There is no time to put them in the net bag, and they fell directly into the saline-alkali land!" Chen Yongwei is strong and works efficiently. While he was talking, the scoop net was full.
Li Changle picked up an eel and said, "No, no, put the valuable perch and eels in a net bag, tie them up and keep them in the pond. If they die, they will be hard to sell."
Crucian carp and grass carp are only a few cents per pound. If you can sell them, sell them. If you can’t, dry them and sell them.
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei took the net bag and poured the fish into it. He lay on the bank of the pond and scooped up the water chestnuts in the pond. As soon as he put the net bag into the pond, fish floated up to breathe. He quickly picked up the scoop net and started working.
"Brother, please ask Ah Huan to buy me a headlamp next time. Flashlights are too inconvenient."
"Okay! I'll give you my father's stuff when we get back."
Li Changle walked down along the bank of the pond and put the valuable ones into the net bag. He caught bighead carp, carp, black carp, grass carp, crucian carp, etc., which cost only a few cents per pound. He then scooped them up and dumped them into the saline-alkali land on the right. Soon the saline-alkali land was filled with fish.
When his headlamp illuminated a large fish over two feet long, he shouted excitedly, "Fuck! Fuck! There's a big mullet here, hurry up and catch it..."
Mullet can live in both freshwater and seawater. Adult fish are long and strong, with a nearly cylindrical front and flat back. The head and back of the body are dark blue, and the belly is white. There are 7 black vertical stripes on the upper half of both sides of the body, and the dorsal fin, pectoral fin and caudal fin are light gray.
Mullet is also called blackfish in some places, and the salty, fragrant and dense blackfish roe is obtained from it.
Autumn and winter are the best seasons to eat mullet. At this time, the mullet has no fishy smell. It can be killed, split, marinated with light salt, and then dried into fish. A small steamed dish can be eaten with two large bowls of rice.
Chen Yongwei happily held up the scoop net to show him, "Brother, look, I caught two eels with one net!"
Li Changle nodded excitedly, "Point to the expensive ones!"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yongwei shouted again, "Haha, a golden fish..."
Golden Drum Fish, also known as Golden Drum Fish, belongs to the class of bony fish, order of Perciformes, family of Golden Drum Fish. This fish has an orange-red body and is covered with black round spots. It is said to contain rich nutrients and has the effects of nourishing blood and qi, clearing heat and moistening the lungs.
"I caught one too!" The fish they caught were all euryhaline fish that can survive in rivers as well as in the sea.
At this time, someone in front came over with a flashlight. Seeing the two people standing on the bank of the pond, he thought they were stealing water chestnuts. "What are you doing? You come to steal the water chestnuts before they are ripe. How can you waste things like this?"
"Which eye of yours saw me stealing water chestnuts? You're talking nonsense, I'll dig out your eyeballs so you can see clearly!" Li Changle was busy catching fish and retorted without even turning his head.
"Ah Le, it's you!" Before he could finish his words, the man pointed at the edge of the pond and shouted, "Fuck! You guys have been fishing for fish for quite some time. Are the fish in the pond turning over due to lack of oxygen?"
Li Changle turned around and grinned, "Ah Kuan, it's you, the monkey, who is responsible for all this!"
Thank you for your support! Thank you!
