Chapter 156

After a pause, the patriarch said, "but Li Tong got this fish by accident. If he didn't catch the fish, we didn't know there were fish under it, so this fish is not included, and it belongs to Li Tong himself."

Holding the barrel, Li Tong happily said, "chief Xie!"

Everyone had no opinion about this, but Xu didn't agree. She asked anxiously, "patriarch, there are 160 people. Isn't my son included? How can he be regarded as an outsider? "

The patriarch looked at her: "your son is not an outsider, but since he did not participate in digging holes and did not protect the village, he has no right to enjoy the same treatment as other people for the time being."

Old lady Xu asked, "when can I..."

Xu Niang's voice became weaker and weaker. Everyone was too lazy to talk to her. They asked the patriarch how to divide the fish.

After all, if the fish is cooked with one chopstick and comes up in large pieces, some people will be greedy and others will suffer.

After thinking about it, the clan leader finally turned to Xu Qing and asked him, "ah Qing, you are the master. What can you do?"

Xu qinglue was speechless. Before the fish was seen, everyone began to quarrel about "uneven distribution of stolen goods".

"To be fair, let's make the fish into fish balls and divide them equally according to the quantity. I think the fish ball soup is good, delicious and nourishing."

"Good fish balls!"

Xu Qing's proposal won everyone's approval, because there is no fairer way than fish balls.

After solving the problem of distribution, we discussed how to fish.

It's definitely not good to go down to fish. If you fall so high, you'll be half disabled even if you don't die. Now we all cherish our lives.

Finally, we come up with two ways, one is fishing net, the other is long-term fishing, both ways, do not believe that can not get fish!

The wisdom of the masses is infinite. Before Xu Qing said anything, he found that everyone had thought very carefully.

The fish is so strong that it can't be covered by ordinary fishing nets. The women rubbed the straw rope hard and made a three meter wide fishing net.

Cao Laoliu is skillful, and his wooden fish hook is sharp and strong.

On the other hand, several men spent a lot of effort to dig a few earthworms from the outside, but also picked some shoots to do bait.

The patriarch let these people toss, told them to pay attention to safety, then went to inspect the work of digging the cave opposite.

After digging these days, they have almost finished digging the cave where they grow grain. And we soon found that there are people high in the cave. It's a waste of space to only put bamboo baskets on the ground. They can also nail a row of wooden frames on which bamboo baskets can be put! In this way, they can grow twice as much grain in bamboo baskets!

Xu Qing turned around and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he went back.

At noon, she stewed a pot of braised potatoes, without meat, but thick oil and red sauce, which tasted better than meat.

Duan Muxiang and Li Changting both ate with restraint. They stopped eating two bowls of rice. They seemed to eat as much as others, but only Xu Qing knew that they were just half full.

When he got back to his cave, Xu Qing took them into the space.

The two men prepare what they want to eat. The vegetable fields and cellars are full of food. Xu Qing is responsible for frying the dishes out of the pot, and they brush the dishes and chopsticks.

After dinner, the three sat under the eaves drinking tea. After the cave was dug out, the two men had nothing to do.

Li Changting is going to finish reading that pile of letters.

Duanmu Xiang went to collect the herbs that Xu Qing had planted, collected them, dried them in the sun, put them in the medicine cabinet for storage, and added some commonly used herbs for standby.

Xu Qing is busy drying vegetables, such as dried pumpkin, dried radish, dried eggplant and so on. She also tries to make all kinds of vegetable biscuits.

As for these things, it will be said that they were taken back from the cave where she hid grain, and Li Jinmei and her family will not be suspicious.

Duanmu sound from the top floor sun good herbs down, see Xu Qing is boiling tomato sauce, next to the base of four dry fruit plate.

"What's delicious?" Duanmu ring curiously walked over, opened the dried fruit tray and looked in.

Fried peanuts, sweet potato, spicy radish, sugar pumpkin slices, biscuits and newly made vegetable biscuits, full of six squares.

"Do you have my share?" Duanmu asked, swallowing.

"Well, whatever you choose, it's the same." Xu Qing didn't lift his head.

Duanmu Xiang sat at the table and began to eat. Suddenly he exclaimed: "this! This dried radish is excellent

Xu Qing wiped his hand: "you help me stare at the ignition. Don't burn it. I'll go out for a while."

Duanmu ring bit the radish stem: "Oh, you go."

Xu Qing holds the remaining three fruit boxes out of the space. She puts two boxes in Huier and xiaomeizi's cave for everyone to eat together, and gives another box to Yu Xiaoqian and Li Qinshu.

Li Qinshu was the first to have nothing to do, so he came to give lectures to hui'er and Xiao Meizi. Xu Ying and Hao Wei, two semi literate people who knew at most a few words, also listened in and thought they benefited a lot.Xu Qing was most worried that the two children would get sick when they were in the cave. Now they have business to do every day, and they are much more lively and cheerful than when they first came in.

How can Xu Qing not express that? She wants to take Li Qinshu and Yu Xiaoqian to dinner together, but she also knows that Li Qinshu's character will not be happy. Since she doesn't come to dinner, she has to accept it.

After moving into the cave, Li Qinshu returned the extra tuition fees he had previously collected to the parents of the children. Although he didn't have much money, at this difficult time, every penny was precious. Everyone didn't mention it, but Li Qinshu didn't hesitate to do so. This shows his style of dealing with people.

Let such a person teach hui'er and Xiao Meizi, Xu Qing has nothing to worry about.

"Ah Qing, there you are. I didn't answer your several calls just now. I thought you were sleeping." Li Jinmei came in.

"Well, have a sleep." Xu Qingxiao.

"So much good food?" When Li Jinmei saw the two dry fruit boxes on the short table, her eyes lit up. She grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and said, "well, it's delicious!"

"What do you call me for?" Asked Xu Qing.

"Oh, I want to tell you they've caught fish." Li Jinmei said with a smile, "there are seven or eight big fish, and some small fish. Do you want to have a look?"

"Go."

It's so busy in the cave.

Everyone around the crack, every time a pull net or fishing line up, see the fish are happy to howl.

When Xu Qing went to have a look, he found that the fish in the barrel was almost double-digit, but it was not enough for everyone to have a bite of meat.

It's getting late. Everyone has to get water to cook and take a bath. The patriarch comes to announce that the fishing activity will be suspended and will continue tomorrow.

The men put the 17 fish they caught in a wooden bucket. The big fish and the small fish were packed separately. A thick net was tied on the bucket to prevent the fish from jumping out and dying.
