I found a small corner and took out the tools, but there was no chair.
I just found a stone to sit on, mixed the cornmeal with water, and made it into small balls.
Throw these little balls into the water, wait about ten minutes, and throw the fishing rod at that location.
Believe it or not, there really was a fish and soon one of the fish took the bait. Zhang Weiguo quickly pulled the rod and the fish ran away.
No, that’s too anxious. It’s inevitable to be a little excited when catching a fish for the first time.
I put on the bait and continued fishing, but not so fast this time. I waited for the fish to bite for a while before lifting it up, watching the fish float up and down in the water.
When I felt it was about time, I started pulling the fish up. Once I had pulled the fish to the shore, I used my other hand to pick up the scoop net to catch the fish. Once the scoop net was down, the fish couldn't escape.
In this way, in two hours, Zhang Weiguo really caught six or seven fish, the small ones weighed half a catty, and the big ones weighed one catty.
Zhang Weiguo was very satisfied with the result, mainly because it was his first time fishing, and it must be because of the nesting. Otherwise, no fish would be caught.
The main reason was that these fish had not eaten for a long time, and now that there was something to eat, they came here from time to time. Zhang Weiguo was not afraid of food, and he would throw some small balls into the water from time to time.
Zhang Weiguo has too much cornmeal, so this is not a big deal.
I happily put away my fishing gear, picked up the bucket, and looked at the old man next to me, who was still concentrating on fishing, so I didn't disturb him.
Who knows if there are any big guys among these uncles? Your uncle is still your uncle.
This is not just talk. It seems that these uncles have no worries about food and clothing, and fishing is just a way for them to pass the time.
Zhang Weiguo had no intention of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation. Who knows whether the other person wants to talk to you or not? If you flatter them, wouldn't that make them dislike you?
Zhang Weiguo watched the old man fishing for a while, but he found that the fish were not as big as the one Zhang Weiguo caught. They were all very small fish. These fish could only be fried in oil. In that era, oil required tickets, and no one was willing to use oil to fry fish.
Zhang Weiguo rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the third uncle, who was guarding the gate again.
With this level, he is good enough to be a football goalkeeper and is guaranteed not to miss a single goal.
"Third uncle."
"Weiguo, are you going fishing?"
"Yes, I don't even think about fishing to improve my food."
"This is great fishing. I love fishing the most and I'm very good at it." said the third uncle.
Zhang Weiguo thought, with your level, it would be strange if you can catch any fish if you rely entirely on luck.
"That's great, Uncle, let's go fishing together next time?"
"It's settled then."
"Uncle, you are busy. I will go home first."
As he spoke, Zhang Weiguo pushed the cart into the courtyard.
Now, the courtyard was filled with middle-aged women sewing shoe soles, and they suddenly knew that Zhang Weiguo had caught a fish.
Especially Jia Zhang, her face turned black when she saw Zhang Weiguo.
When he saw the fish in Zhang Weiguo's bucket, he became even more unhappy and cursed.
Zhang Weiguo ignored them and went home directly.
Qin Huairu has just become pregnant with Xiao Huaihua, and she still longs for fish, but she doesn't have the courage to ask for it.
Qin Huairu is still very pretty before she turns evil, so Zhang Weiguo just looks at her but doesn't dare to provoke her.
Zhang Weiguo returned home and skillfully gutted the fish, removed the scales, and kept the rest. He would eat the one that weighed more than a pound today.
Six fish weighing more than half a pound were pickled with salt and hung on the beams to dry in the air so that they would not be stolen by rats.
The kitchen was ready for use. Zhang Weiguo cleaned the pot and lit the fire.
Pour oil into the pot, add ginger slices, then put the fish in, fry both sides until golden brown, then pour in water, use Lingquan water directly.
Then put the tofu into the pot.
Then stick a few corn tortillas on the edge of the pot.
Cover the pot and wait for it to boil.
After more than ten minutes, take out the fish and sprinkle chopped green onions on it.
The fragrance wafted out all at once, causing everyone to cheer.
Nowadays, people are reluctant to use oil when cooking, but Zhang Weiguo doesn’t care. The food won’t taste good without enough oil, so he uses more oil.
In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, the family sat around the table eating steamed corn bread.
"Dongxu, didn't we just get the ration this month? We've been eating steamed buns for a month, can't we eat something better?" said Jia Zhang.
"Give all the money to Qin Huairu, let Qin Huairu buy it." Jia Dongxu said.
"Dongxu only earns 22.5 yuan a month, and he has to give three yuan for his mother's pension and two yuan for medicine. How can he have money to eat meat?" Qin Huairu said.
"Old Yi, look Zhang Weiguo in the backyard is eating meat, should we buy some meat too?" said an aunt.
Yi Zhonghai said: "Tomorrow go to the market and buy a pound of pork, and we will make braised pork."
At the second uncle's house, the second uncle was eating scrambled eggs. Only the second uncle could eat this scrambled egg, and his two younger sons were not allowed to eat any at all.
The delicious scrambled eggs had no taste today, so I decided to ask my second aunt to buy a pound of meat tomorrow.
The third uncle's family ate steamed corn bread and a dish of pickles.
Smelling the aroma, he took a few deep breaths.
Uncle San didn't ask Aunt San to buy meat.
I could only think about catching a few fish to improve my food.
After eating, Zhang Weiguo harvested the wheat, and harvested another 1,134 kilograms of wheat.
I won’t plant wheat this time as there is enough wheat to eat. I plan to plant some cabbage instead.
Zhang Weiguo looked at the cabbage seeds. One pound of seeds cost 168 gold coins, and one pound of seeds could yield 374 pounds of cabbage.
It also takes 14 hours to mature, but only two kilograms of this cabbage can be planted per acre of land.
Cabbage was the main dish of that era, in addition to cabbage there were also potatoes.
Zhang Weiguo wants to grow these two kinds of dishes.
If the cabbage is mature this time, we can harvest 748 kilograms of cabbage.
These cabbages can be sold to the Red Star Steel Mill.
It will take another two days for the pigs to mature.
After cleaning up the space, Zhang Weiguo went to bed.
The next day, just after dinner, someone knocked on the door.
When I went out, I saw that it was the third uncle. I wondered why the third uncle was looking for Zhang Weiguo so early in the morning?
"Uncle, what's up?"
"Isn't it the weekend? I saw you fishing yesterday. Let's go fishing together today."
"Okay, Uncle San, please wait a moment. I'll get the tools and go right away."
The third uncle went home.
Zhang Weiguo washed the dishes.
Mix corn flour, flour, wheat bran, etc. together and stir with mountain spring water.
After finishing it, I pushed my bicycle to find the third uncle.
The third uncle's house is right near the door.
To enter the courtyard, you must pass through the third uncle's house.
There were some people washing things by the pool, but no one greeted Zhang Weiguo when they saw him.
Zhang Weiguo didn't even know him, so he didn't bother to say hello. He just decided to go fishing with the third uncle.
When I arrived at the third uncle's house, I saw that he had already prepared everything, all the tools were made by himself.
I was very envious when I saw Zhang Weiguo's professional tools.
The two of them rode their bicycles to Shichahai together.
