After a while, a fish was caught, and it turned out to be a big fish weighing two or three pounds!

Wow, it turns out that the fish in the reservoir have changed their taste. Now they don’t like bait, but like earthworms.

Okay, he will try digging some earthworms some other day.

Xu Qingzhi and Xu Dongru were carrying the fish back when they met Wang Yanmei who had returned from playing cards.

Wang Yanmei took a look and saw that the bucket was full of fish. "Oh, so many fish! How many did you catch?"

"Grandpa caught sixteen and I caught eight."

"The fish in this reservoir are so easy to catch? I heard someone say a few days ago that the fish in this reservoir are the hardest to catch." Wang Yanmei looked at the fish in the reservoir, "Wow, there are big fish here, let's cook them tonight!"

"Mom, we have a crucian carp that can be used to make soup, and I want to eat grass carp and chili fish." Xu Qingzhi even planned the menu.

"Okay, no problem." Wang Yanmei wanted to take the bucket, and said angrily: "You are ignorant, asking your grandfather to carry such a heavy bucket. Dad, I will carry it, and you can eat here tonight."

In the past, when it was time to eat, the children would often ask Xu Dongru to stay for dinner, but Xu Dongru would not eat. He was a stubborn person, and he would not eat at the children's house unless they invited him to dinner during festivals or other special occasions.

Now the old man thought about the taste of the dish, it was so delicious, plus he was happy to go fishing today, he also agreed: "Okay, I'll go back after I finish eating, Yanmei, you worked hard to cook today."

As for the fish bucket, he didn't let Wang Yanmei take it. He dodged and said, "I'll carry this bucket. It's only a few steps away. Qingzhi's little arms can't lift it. I'm strong enough to do it every day. Don't blame the child."

Wang Yanmei stopped arguing and said, "Okay, Fuqiang should be back soon. Let him kill the fish."

Turn from the main road and go straight and you will reach your home.

Xu Fuqiang happened to come back. When he saw his father and daughter caught more than 20 fish, he felt itchy inside and thought about going fishing as soon as he finished building the chicken coop.

It was impossible to go fishing tonight, so he went to kill the fish.

The big grass carp and crucian carp were killed and eaten tonight. There was also a crucian carp weighing more than one kilogram for Xu Dongru to take home and eat for himself. The other small crucian carps were easier to deal with.

Wang Yanmei was originally thinking of waiting until the market to buy some and make fried fish, which was just right.

Wipe dry the processed small crucian carp, put it into a frying pan and fry it on low heat until golden brown and crispy.

Add garlic, chili pepper and ginger slices and stir-fry to let the garlic aroma and spicy flavor blend into the crispy fish meat.

Pour in half a bowl of water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar and other ingredients, especially rice vinegar, which can make the fish more crispy and stew it for a while.

The spicy fried fish that is delicious and goes well with rice is ready.

Another big crucian carp was stewed into a milky white crucian carp tofu soup, and the grass carp was chopped into pieces and served with Meicheng-style sour chili to make sour chili fish.

The preparation methods of sour chili fish and sauerkraut fish are similar, but the taste is completely different. It tastes sour, spicy and refreshing, without any fishy smell from the fish.

Fortunately, there are a few plates of fresh and crispy vegetables to relieve the spiciness.

Xu Qingzhi enjoyed the meal very much, and Xu Dongru also ate a bowl and a half of rice, which was rare for him.

In the next few days, Xu Dong went fishing as planned.

Xu Qingzhi also went fishing.

Xu Dongru had a very pleasant conversation with the old man who was fishing.

Xu Fuqiang built the chicken coop and joined the fishing army.

The three of them went fishing every day and caught a lot of fish.

For several days in a row, the only dish served at home was fish. Finally, the whole family got tired of it and Xu Dongru even said that he couldn't eat anymore.

But he still insisted on going fishing, saying that he had made an appointment with the fisherman to meet at 10 o'clock the next morning. Later, their fishing appointment was interrupted by heavy rain.

The leftover small fish at home were stewed and added to the chicken feed for the chickens in the back mountain. The chickens laid eggs very well for several days.

Xu Qingzhi went to the back mountain to pick eggs. He picked eight at a time and put them in the basin he brought with him. He also picked some bayberries to taste.

She picked some extra and took them home.

"Qingzhi, how many eggs did you pick up today?" Wang Yanmei asked.

"Eight."

"Since the chickens have eaten the fish, they have laid more eggs. We can't finish them all." Wang Yanmei said, and then she remembered, "Oh, your third aunt sent me something to the courier point in town. Can you help mom pick it up and send some eggs to your third aunt at the same time?"

"Yeah, okay." Xu Qingzhi nodded, picked out the bayberries separately and washed them with water, "Mom, I picked some bayberries and brought them back. I tasted them and they tasted better than last time."

"Is it better than last time?" Wang Yanmei's eyes lit up. She reached out to pick one and put it in her mouth. Fresh bayberry juice flowed into her mouth. The bayberry pulp was rich in fragrance and the sweetness was purer. There was no sour aftertaste at all, but it was not greasy. It tasted much better than last time!

"Our bayberries are really delicious. Last time your dad went to ask about the purchase price of bayberries, they offered four yuan a pound. Your dad thought our bayberries tasted good and wanted to sell them for eight yuan a pound, but they disagreed. Your dad has been very worried. I helped you build a chicken coop a few days ago, so I didn't care about it anymore. I thought about asking a few more fruit vendors."

When Xu Qingzhi heard eight yuan? Disagree? She could almost imagine her father begging the fruit vendor in a humble manner in order to get a few more yuan per pound.

She said, "If you don't agree, forget it. Just keep it for yourself."

"How can we eat so much? We can sell it at a lower price, but it's not worth it." Wang Yanmei refused to do that. Even if it was four yuan per pound, she could still make some money. "I thought there were only a few dozen bayberry trees bearing fruit, but the day before yesterday I went to the back mountain and saw that 200 bayberry trees were bearing fruit. It's really strange."

Xu Qingzhi ate bayberries and said, "The weather this year is quite strange. Many places have encountered droughts that have not been seen in decades. Maybe the plants were affected and matured late."

"That's right." Wang Yanmei was speaking when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone, her face changed, and she responded twice hurriedly.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yanmei said anxiously, "The father-in-law of your grandmother's sister's son passed away in Sanli'ao. Your father and I are going to help. You can cook for yourself at home at noon today."

"Okay." Xu Qingzhi responded.

Usually, when someone dies in the village, it's like this. Those who live nearby will be called to help, not to mention those who are relatives.

"By the way, since you are sending eggs, why not send some bayberries to your third aunt as well? We have plenty of bayberries at home anyway."

Xu Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, Mom, I understand."

Wang Yanmei then hurriedly called Xu Fuqiang and told him something, and the two of them drove away.

At that moment, Xu Qingzhi felt that he was very much like a left-behind child, so pitiful.

Since her parents are not around, she might as well do some easy work.

She first put the eggs into the pearl cotton egg tray and went to the back mountain.

She smuggled out one hundred chickens and one hundred ducks from the spiritual space, and left half of the chickens and ducks in the space as snacks for the two little ones.

Then she went to the field on the hillside.

It rained a few days ago, so my parents removed the weeds and loosened the soil.

She sensed that there was no one around, so she waved her hand and moved the seedlings out of the spiritual space and planted them.

Two little ones jumped out from the space.

"Ga~" Master, don't you like to dig holes and grow vegetables by yourself?

Xu Qingzhi: "I only like to dig a hole myself when I want to, but not now."

"Haha~" If you want to be lazy, just be lazy. And you can say it so fresh and refined.

Xu Qingzhi flicked its little head, causing it to burst.
