Chapter 26 Queuing to buy fish

Li Jinhua pointed to the tractor not far away, "The team will pull it there for us, just run a few times, there is no place to keep warm."

If they all walk there, the spring and autumn will be better. People in this winter will have to freeze into popsicles.

When the three arrived, the tractor was almost full.

Li Jinhua hurried up, "Zhuzi's family, give me a hand. Hey, you guys make room for my girl and the two of you, hurry up and squeeze together to be warmer!"

She went up and ordered the others to make room, and finally Shen Man and Gu Nan squeezed out. Fortunately, people are not fat at this time, otherwise how can they be squeezed?

The educated youths who had just sat down here from collective households came, and other members of the brigade arranged for them to sit down.

Looking at Shen Man in the car, the educated youths had different expressions.

Qiao Xin curled her lips and said, "If you go early, you will be frozen. Let's go in first and wait for the next trip."

As she said that, she went to the brigade first, and the room was warmer with a stove.

The tractor starts up here, and starts to move forward in a "chug chug".

Because there were so many people, Shen Man and the others sat behind, so they couldn't feel the wind at all.

"Sister-in-law, why did this educated youth come with you?" A curious woman poked at Li Jinhua.

Because very few people in the brigade get close to the educated youth, it means that no one pays attention to them.

The main thing is that the educated youths have their eyes above the top and don't like to talk to people. Even in this enthusiastic Northeast, no one is willing to put a hot face on it. What are you trying to do?

As if anyone could get them!

Hearing this, Li Jinhua replied with a smile: "This little girl plays well with my family Nan Nan, and they are all children playing together."

There is nothing wrong with this statement, what do little girls know, besides, they are all children, playing with whom is not playing.

The others didn't ask any more questions, they opened their mouths so coldly that their teeth froze.

Soon arrived at the place, everyone got out of the car one after another, Shen Man looked at the wide river, the endless white had already covered the ice.

At this time, there are already many people around five or six hundred meters away from the shore, as well as some tractors and machines.

Zhang Fenghai was also among these people. It was hard for him to dress like a penguin, but Shen Man could still tell that it was him.

"They're all here, wait for a while, the nets haven't been confiscated yet." The team leader rubbed his face, already frozen stiff.

The fishing nets were lowered the day before yesterday, and it takes two days to collect the nets. The ice holes on the ice are covered with snow, so as not to be too thick to break open.

Even if it is smashed open, it is easy to break the fishing net. When the time comes, let alone collect the net, there will be no hair left.

Shen Man watched from a distance. At this time, there was a tractor coming, not from the Shangjiang Brigade, but from the Lower River Brigade.

At this time, fishing is considered a major event, and many nearby brigades come here.

Of course, this commune only fishes in one place, because there are not so many people and not so many equipment.

There are also many people fishing secretly on the river, and they will inevitably be punished if they are found. What's more, every year people fall into the ice hole and can't find it.

So, now the commune is very strict, and no one else is allowed to go fishing on the river.

"The net is pulled!"

I don't know who shouted, the dark crowd went there, and Shen Man followed.

The fishing net is pulled here by the tractor, and someone directs the rear, and the tractor pulls the net in front.

The moment the fishing net was pulled up, a lot of fish started to jump around.

It was the first time for Shen Man to see such a scene. He had heard that the winter fishing in the Songhua River in the northeast was spectacular, but now he saw that the fishing in this small place was also very powerful.

The surrounding villagers were also cheering, with smiles on their happy faces.

Can you be unhappy? This is meat!

As the tractor pulled farther and farther away, the fish in the fishing net also began to jump out.

Shen Man visually observed that the fishing net was about two to three hundred meters long, and there were all big fish in it, the smallest was five or six catties, and the largest probably weighed more than twenty catties.

Oh my god, the fish is already this big at this time?

Yes, the ground was dry a few years ago but the water was not dry. In addition, the current fishing methods are so-so, except for winter fishing, no one comes to catch fish all year round.

So the fish here let go and grow up, no one cares, of course they grow big enough.

"Oh my god, this fish is really good!" Li Jinhua looked at the big river fish at his feet, her eyes lit up, and she wished she could catch it now and take it home.

But none of the people moved. If they moved at this time, it would be a mess.

After all the fishing nets were pulled out, some people began to pack fish in large wooden barrels, and there was a queue in front of them.

"Hurry up, hurry up, line up." Li Jinhua greeted, and pulled Shen Man to line up.

After she got in line, she remembered, and turned around and asked, "Xiaoman, do you also buy fish?"

At the beginning, I didn't ask people if they bought it, so I dragged and queued.

"Buy it!" Shen Man nodded and said, "This big fish is so good, you must buy it!"

It’s not that bad, the river fish in the later generations is not interesting, it’s rare to actually see the fishing scene, she has to buy it back to taste the saltiness.

Someone in front is loading the fish into buckets and then loading it into the truck, and there are still people who continue to line up to buy fish that have not been loaded into the truck.

Seeing this, Shen Man turned his head and asked, "Nan Nan, what are they doing with the fish in the car?"

If they are in the cheering squad, why are they bothering to come here?

Hearing the words, Gu Nan replied: "Isn't this the winter catch of the commune? It has to be taken back to the town to sell. After two days, it will be pulled to the provincial capital, and there will also be supply."

These fish are not only supplied to nearby brigades, but the most important thing is to send them to the provincial capital.

They belonged to the first batch, and the second and third batches were sent to other places.

It was the first time for Shen Man to know this, and she didn't know much about this era.

They came early and got in line quickly.

Li Jinhua pointed at the fish with a loud voice and said, "I want that, not this!"

"Yes, yes, this is it."

"Emma, ​​what about fifteen catties? All right, this is it."

Looking at Li Jinhua holding a thread with a fish on it, with a happy expression on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Man quickly made up for it. Looking at the fish that could no longer jump on the ground, she pointed to a fish that weighed about ten catties, and another fish that jumped about fifteen catties.

"I want these two!" She didn't know what kind of fish they were, but she could eat them anyway.

"A total of twenty-six catties, thirteen yuan!" The person on the opposite side weighed it, then quickly put on the hemp rope and handed it over.

Shen Man counted out the money and gave it to him, took the fish and carried it to the side.

There are still people queuing behind.

There are three teams lined up here. If there was only one team, it would have been a mess.

Gu Nan was following Li Jinhua to pick small fish, but when she saw that she had bought big fish for two days, she was surprised and speechless.

And Shen Man wants to eat slowly, after all, three months in one winter, she can't just hear about everyone eating meat, right?

It's only fifty cents a catty, and there's no ticket required. She thinks it's a good deal.

"Why did you buy this old one? Have you finished eating?" Gu Nan looked at the two big fish in a daze.

Only seven members of their family can buy one fish...
