Chapter 453 the only person in the The jiang family who can kill pigs
After a while, seeing the men on both sides of the reservoir listen to the command and shout, Duoduo immediately pulled her mother's clothes and asked, "Mom, dad, are they going to start?"
"Yes. A lot of people are taking part in the fishing activities today. There are a lot of people and a lot of strength. We can definitely catch a lot of fish later."
Zheng Wentao was also chatting with Li Fugui and the others. It was his first time to see the fishing scene in the south, and he was not sure about the freshwater fish species in the reservoir. Seeing the strong men in the village take the initiative to fish in the water, he was somewhat appreciative.
When the fishing net moved, the fish in the reservoir immediately became active, and many fish jumped out of the water.
"Wow, a lot of fish."
The children were the most excited, jumping up and down in excitement. An' an and Duoduo were no exception. They shouted at each other in small voices, "Dad, catch them. Don't let them go."
"These are small fish. We have to release them when we catch them. We catch big fish to eat. These small fish will be put back into the reservoir to keep them. They will be caught again next year when the new year comes. By then, they will grow into about ten kilograms of big fish." Li Haitang had just seen that the fish that jumped out of the net was two or three kilograms of grass carp. This kind of fish looked like a fry to the villagers. It was a pity that they would not catch it and eat it.
"Mom, let's buy that kind of fish..." An' an thought about it and couldn't remember the name of the fish in his memory. He had to show it to her with his hand. "The head of the fish is so big and the mouth of the fish is so big. Dad likes the kind of fish that is stewed into white fish soup. Let's buy this kind of fish and go home, okay?"
"Okay." Li Haitang squatted down and introduced him in detail, "This kind of fish is called bighead, one of the four big freshwater fish, also known as bighead. The fish head stew is the most delicious, and it can also be made into a delicious fish head chopped with pepper. This is a very famous dish in Hunan province."
"What are the other three freshwater fishes?" An' an continued to ask.
The other three are grass carp, silver carp and black carp. Last time we went for a picnic and caught a lot of grass fish, you know each other. Silver carp and black carp, there are also a lot of them in this reservoir. Later on, mom will teach you how to recognize them, and we will buy some each to eat at home."
"Mom, brother, look, there are a lot of fish jumping." Duoduo had been paying attention to the movement in the reservoir. Seeing that a lot of fish had started to run around, he excitedly called them mother and son to watch.
Li Haitang looked up and was shocked by the sight. "Wow, there are so many fish in the reservoir."
"This is only one net. At most, only one third of the net will be caught, and two more will be caught later." Li Fugui narrowed his eyes behind his back and saw that the people in the next village were going to pick up fish with woven bags. He said, "They must have divided this net. We have to wait."
Hearing that they were going to buy them all, Duoduo was anxious, "Mom, let's take a closer look, okay?"
"This position is the best. Dad and the others will drag the fishing net to us later. We'll just stand here and watch."
"Oh, okay." Duoduo had to squat down again to watch.
"There are at least 200 fish weighing more than eight kilograms in this net. I just saw more than ten kilograms of green fish. This is a good dish. I'll go down and take a look. If only I could buy two first." Li Fugui picked up the large basket beside his feet and said to the younger generation, "You guys keep looking here. I'll go and have a look first."
"Dad, the road is slippery. Slow down." Li Xiaoqin followed his advice and patted his son on the shoulder, signaling him to follow.
"Don't worry, lu shu."
Li Fugui was old, but he was very healthy, and he was more energetic living in the countryside. He liked to move his limbs around the reservoir in the mountains when he had nothing to do.
After the big net was dragged to the shore, the villagers on both sides of the reservoir crowded into a pile and cheered with joy. This was the fish that everyone had worked hard to raise all year round and the harvest was good all year round.
"Honey, at least 15 kilograms of black carp, do you want it?" Jiang Chuheng caught a big fish in the water. The black fish was longer than his arm and was struggling with its life.
"This fish is for our chairman li." Li Rong shouted loudly.
Li Yuanhua, the old captain, stood by with his notebook ready to register. He smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, this one belongs to haitang."
Li Haitang's smile was as bright as the melting winter snow not far away, and he thanked him politely, "Thank you for giving in."
"Ah, ah, this big fish belongs to our family." An' an and Duoduo were so excited that they jumped on the spot and shouted, "Dad, hurry up and catch us."
"All right, you two and auntie are standing here. Mom will fetch the bamboo basket for you to see." Li Haitang took the basket from Liu Fen's hand and strode towards the reservoir.
"Slow down." Jiang chuheng yelled at her and wrung the fish in the water to wash the mud off. Seeing that the fish was struggling so hard, he kept tossing his tail and splashing his shirt. He knocked on the hard head of the fish and threatened with joy, "Be honest, my wife will own you if you jump any more."
"Haha..." Li Rong and the others laughed. He also caught a mandarin fish the size of a palm on the fishing net. "Here, this fish is also your wife's favorite. It's a reward for your family."
Jiang Chuheng looked back and saw that it was indeed Li Haitang's favorite mandarin fish. He smiled and took it, "Thank you. If there is any mandarin fish later, keep it for my family."
An' an saw his father take a small fish and shouted on the shore, "Dad, no small fish. Let it go."
"This kind of fish doesn't grow very big. This one is quite good. Mom loves it. Cook it for her at night." Jiang chuheng returned to his voice and went ashore with a big fish and a small fish.
Their family picked the largest black carp, but the neighbors of other villages were not interested in black carp. They bought mostly grass carp and bighead carp, and many people bought big silver carp. Li Fugui bought two of the remaining big black carp, and the other two local tycoons, Li Yongchun and Li Rong, contracted to them.
The second net caught the same amount of fish. The Li Jianping brothers bought ten big grass carp each, and the other three big freshwater fish also bought a lot. They used all the food they could not finish during the new year and the spring festival to smoke them into cured fish, and then brought them back to the provincial capital for the spring festival.
The two large bamboo baskets that were brought over were full, and the women could not lift them together. They had to keep watching and wait for the men to finish their work before carrying them back.
"Mom, I like to spend the new year here. It's so lively and fun." An' an said, hugging her mother's leg.
Li Haitang fondled his little head and told him, "We have to kill the new year pig tomorrow. This morning, your father and mother said that he will kill the pig. Tomorrow, we will go to see him kill the pig and cheer him up."
"Really?" Not only An' an and Duoduo were surprised, but even Zheng Wentao and the others looked incredulous.
Li Haitang smiled and repeated what jiang chuheng had said this morning. She was actually a little skeptical of his skill. "Is it okay? We'll see tomorrow."
"Brother-in-law can kill pigs?" Zheng Mingfeng's expression was exaggerated, and he was still imagining Jiang Chuheng holding a butcher knife and huo huo facing the fat pig.
"My father knows everything. My father is the best. My father may have done it. He will definitely kill pigs. He is the only one in our The jiang family who will kill pigs. In the future, dad will set up a stall to sell pork." Duoduo was a die-hard fan of Jiang Chuheng. She thought it was great to kill a pig, and she spoke with a serious face.
Her voice was not loud, and all the villagers who were watching the bustle by the reservoir heard it. Qi qi laughed and Li Haitang covered his stomach and laughed incessantly.
