Chapter 12： Harvest

Chapter 12 Great Harvest

After taking a rest, Li Xiaoyu excitedly said to Father Li.

"Old man, do you know there are a lot of fish?"

"how many?"

"About five or six thousand catties, let's take another wave.

I want to fill up the small river in the space so we can go and sell a lot of fish! "

"Do you feel bad? Can you do it?"

After Li Xiaoyu's repeated assurances that it would not be uncomfortable, Li's father agreed to continue catching fish.

Li Xiaoyu scatters another wave of space well water into the river, one after another, until he is too tired to lift his hands.

Li Xiaoyu took a deep look at the space, and the fish in the small river were densely packed.

Grass carp, silver carp, carp, crucian carp, silver carp, river shrimp, bearded silver carp, and a family of two big and three small old turtles.

Posted! Posted! It's all old money.

Li Xiaoyu didn't care if his hands were dry, so he put his hands into his mouth and poured a belly of well water to relieve fatigue.

"Old man, there will be no shortage of fish for our family in the future. It's full, so I can sell it!"

"Okay, take out a big fish and ten five-pound fish."

On the way home, I met the Li brothers who came looking for someone.

The two brothers exclaimed in surprise when they saw the big fish. The two of them happily carried the fish and walked in front, majestic.

On the way, I met villagers from the same village, and when they saw such a big fish, they were all very envious and asked again and again.

"Doctor Li, where did you fix this? Did you cast the net? It's so big!"

"Luck! Luck! Just good luck!" Father Li said modestly.

The villagers chased and asked where did you get it? Father Li told them the place, and a few people turned around and ran away.

"Doctor Li, do you sell any fish in your family?"

"Okay, kill this big fish and sell it in pieces.

This big silver carp is very fat. My family keeps the belly of the fish and sells the rest.

Two cents a pound can be exchanged for rice or money. "

"It's cheaper! The folks in the big hometown."

Villager A wants to buy some fish to eat at home, but does not want to pay extra.

"That's right, you don't spend any money." Someone followed suit.

"This is cheap enough, pork is 60 cents a pound, and I still need a ticket. I only have 20 cents and I don't need a ticket.

If you want cheap, everything in the river is cheap, as long as you can get it, you don’t need money. "

A few villagers were embarrassed, but still crowded in front, staring at the fish.

Soon the east family had a piece of fish, and the west family had a piece of fish. The villagers all took the fish and went home to cook. Tonight, the whole village was filled with the smell of fish.

All that's left is a fish head and tail, as well as a large piece of fish belly left by Li's father.

A big fish is exchanged for 50 catties of rice, and there is a gross receipt of one or two cents.

After a period of time, people in the village went to the river every day to fish nets and fish.

Occasional gains, but not much.

"Second child, bring a silver carp for your second father's house, and the third one will bring you a silver carp for everyone, go and get back!"

The two brothers went out with the fish, Li Chengji came back with a handful of garlic sprouts in his hand, and Li Chengyi came back empty-handed.

Father Li first fry the fish head and tail with lard, put it in a pot, and use it to stew the fish soup.

Remove the fish bones, cut the thick meat into tofu cubes, and prepare to make braised fish cubes.

Marinate with salt and a little white wine, put a bottom oil in the pot, and then coat the fish with a layer of red glutinous starch.

Put the oil into the wok, fry until golden brown on both sides, put the chopped ginger, onion and garlic into the wok to sauté until fragrant, then add the watercress and stir fry.

Pour in the fish pieces and stir fry gently, finally add a little boiling water and bring to a boil.

Slowly simmer over low heat and wait for the soup to dry up, sprinkle some chives, and the "Old Father" brand braised fish is out of the pot.

Simmer the fish head and fish tail soup in the pot and drink the soup after the meal.

The fat and fragrant "Old Father" brand braised silver carp is full of happiness in the mouth, and the delicious taste has won the praise of the whole family.

After dinner, there was a bowl of fish soup, and the family ate again, slumped on the stool and chatted about their daily routines.

"There will be a big fair in town tomorrow. You have to arrive before dawn, remember to get up early! I won't be exercising tomorrow." Father Li said to the three children.

After a break, Li Chengji cleaned up and washed the dishes, and Li Ma fed the pigs.

Li Xiaoyu whispered to Li's father: "Old man, there are five silver carp weighing more than 20 kilograms.

I want to eat other fish in it, sell them all, and a few old turtles. "

"It's enough to sell four, keep one inside, otherwise there will be more and more fish, so I'll see if I can sell it."

In the evening, the family still studied for a while, and went back to the house to rest after the hour.

Li Xiaoyu dodged into the space, wanting to see how much he gained today.

The fish in the small river have difficulty even turning around. How many are there!

The fish in the big river will not be caught by her, there are tens of thousands of catties!

Now the big fish eat the small fish, and you don't even need to feed the fish food, save trouble!

Li Xiaoyu was dazed to see if the seeds in the ground had sprouted, and all the light green ones had sprouted.

It is about two centimeters long, and it has only sprouted for a few days.

Just don’t know how long it will take to mature! Everything is still being explored.

She floated into the small building and pulled out a palace secret recipe from the bookshelf.

Although I don't quite understand what it means, let's memorize it first, as it will be used in the future.

may be the reason for drinking well water, or maybe the reason for rebirth.

The memory is actually much better than in the previous life. It can be said that it is unforgettable. This is also a great benefit.

The three secret recipes were recited several times and recalled in his mind to ensure that he would not forget them before Li Xiaoyu flashed out of the space to sleep.

I was called up at four in the morning and didn't even eat breakfast.

While everyone was not paying attention, Li Xiaoyu secretly put away the big wooden basin at home, and then another big wooden barrel, and also threw the fishing net into it.

Li's father carried a load of wheat, Li's mother was carrying a wooden barrel, and the two brothers lit torches, leading the way.

The family was walking on the small road to the town, passing by the field, the frogs croaking suddenly stopped, and they left and resumed singing.

Li Xiaoyu was very excited to walk on the road with the kettle on his back.

After coming back for so many days, she was finally able to leave the village, it was too difficult for her!

When he was halfway there, he lost his strength, and Li Xiaoyu sat on the ground still.

"Old man, take a break, I can't walk anymore."

Everyone was tired, sweaty and empty stomach.

Li Xiaoyu hurriedly handed over a military water bottle with peeling paint on his back, and asked them to drink water.

"Little girl, this water is delicious and a little sweet."

Li Chengyi smacking his lips, sweet.

"That's with sugar. Stop talking and drink quickly."

Li Chengji disliked his little brother for talking too much, and urged him dissatisfiedly.

After drinking water, rest for a while before continuing on the road.

When we arrived at the town market, the sky was already a little bright and we could see some shadows.

Some people have set up stalls in the market, and Li Xiaoyu's family is not the first to come.

There are only two streets in the town, in the shape of a cross. The market is placed on both sides of the street, and there are old brick buildings on both sides.

After searching for a while, I found a few fish sellers. Li Xiaoyu's house was just around the corner, occupying a spot.

There is no shop door behind it, and there is a wall blocking it on the left side, which is good!

Arrange the fish and let Ma Li and the two brothers guard.

"You stay here, I'll go buy you something to eat." Father Li said to Mother Li and his two sons.

Father Li took Li Xiaoyu to the restaurant in town to buy breakfast and went directly to the back door of the kitchen.

Father Li looked around, no one was there.

Let Li Xiaoyu come out with a big silver carp and a five-pound grass carp.

Li Xiaoyu put the fish in the bucket, and then put an old turtle.

Seeing the door was open, there was an old lady washing dishes.

Father Li knocked on the door: "Eldest sister, call Chef Huang for me, and said that Dr. Li is looking for him, thank you!"

"Wait."
