Chapter 36 Fishing
The weather is getting warmer.
Du Shaojie took out a little money from the food allowance and asked someone to buy seeds and chicks.
Qin Xiaomei opened up a few plots of land in the vacant land behind the canteen, planted some vegetables with fast growth cycles, and raised a flock of chickens. These things will eventually be subsidized into the food allowance, and no one can say anything as long as they are not taken home.
In the morning, Du Shaojie helped water the vegetable plots, Qin Xiaomei was feeding the chickens, and Li Guixiang came over.
"Master Du, the canteen's cooking oil is running out. Go talk to the director."
Du Shaojie has the final say in the canteen's work, but there is still a mechanism for mutual supervision in management.
For example, Li Guixiang is in charge of the canteen warehouse, and all kinds of materials must go through her hands. She just took inventory and found that the cooking oil was running out, so she came to Du Shaojie.
"I know about this. I have already made an agreement with Director Zhao to go to the next door regiment to buy some tomorrow morning."
Du Shaojie straightened up and responded with a smile.
Laolonghe Farm does not grow oil crops, while the regiment 20 kilometers away not only grows rapeseed all year round, but also has a large-scale oil mill.
They currently have a supply of clean oil, which can be sold to the farm. However, the quantity is limited, only enough for the daily consumption of the farm, and no more can be bought.
"Master Du, who will go to our canteen?"
Li Guixiang looked at Du Shaojie eagerly, with a look of expectation in her eyes.
Generally, when going to get clean oil, the farm will send one person, and the canteen will also send one person. When going to get oil, the regiment will allow the people who go to buy a little at their discretion, not much, about 10 kilograms per person.
The price can be cheaper than the market.
This is an unwritten rule, everyone knows it, and no one cares.
Li Guixiang has many children in her family, and there is not enough clean oil on weekdays, so she cares about this opportunity.
Qin Xiaomei doesn't care. Her man is capable, and there is no need to compete with the other party.
"Sister Li, please take the trouble to make the trip."
Du Shaojie was alone on the farm. Even if he bought some cooking oil,
he had to ask someone to bring it back to the city. It was very troublesome. So he gave this opportunity to Li Guixiang and waited for a chance in the future.
"Okay, thank you, Master Du."
Li Guixiang smiled brightly and turned to go into the house.
Du Shaojie continued to water the plants. After finishing his work, he washed his face and took the fishing net to the river to catch some fish.
"Master Du, can you catch fish?"
Qin Xiaomei happened to see this scene and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I can, but I'm not very skilled. But it doesn't matter, practice makes perfect, right?"
Du Shaojie was a little embarrassed. How could he catch fish? He couldn't even fish.
Qin Xiaomei laughed and didn't expose him. She said, "You go find my man. He's not busy recently. Let that guy accompany you."
Du Shaojie thought that this was also good, so he went directly to the farm office to find Chu Xiaowei.
When Chu Xiaowei heard that he was going to go fishing, he immediately laughed: "Master Du, you want to be a jack of all trades. No problem, I'll find someone first, and we'll go right away."
After that, he called a companion and went to the river with Du Shaojie.
There was a simple pier by the river. Chu Xiaowei pointed to a small wooden boat parked there and said, "There are not many fish by the river. Let's row the boat a little further away to see."
The three people got on the boat, and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore.
"Stop first, Lao San, you stabilize the boat."
The small wooden boat left the shore for a distance. Chu Xiaowei asked his companion to control the boat, and he took out the fishing net.
Du Shaojie watched the other person's movements carefully and saw that he threw the fishing net out smoothly and sank into the water.
Afterwards, Chu Xiaowei dragged the rope unhurriedly, and there was an obvious water line in the river, and then he picked up the fishing net.
There were indeed fish in the fishing net, but they were not big and there were not many.
"It's hard to catch big fish nowadays, so this is a good catch. Master Du, would you like to try the next one?"
After putting the fish into the big bucket, Chu Xiaowei sorted out the fishing net and handed it to Du Shaojie.
He had already heard the other party's instructions, so he took it and tried it. Fortunately, the fishing net was thrown out smoothly, but in the end, only a few small white stripers were caught.
This made him very happy. Anyway, he was in a playful attitude, as long as there was a harvest, it would be fine.
However, he still had to cook at noon, so he handed the fishing net to Chu Xiaowei after playing for a while. Chu Xiaowei caught some more fish and rowed back to the shore.
"Master Du, your fishing net is really good."
Chu Xiaowei and his companions helped Du Shaojie deliver a large bucket of fish to the cafeteria. Du Shaojie asked them to take some, but neither of them wanted it.
However, Chu Xiaowei took a fancy to his fishing net.
"You take it first, and I'll ask you for it when I need it."
Du Shaojie knew it well, and then lent the fishing net to the other party.
He didn't have time to go to the river to fish every day, but it was okay to play occasionally.
Besides, with his fishing skills, how much could he harvest? It is better to leave it to an expert like Chu Xiaowei.
"Thank you, Master Du."
Chu Xiaowei was not polite. He delivered the fish to the field, took the fishing net and left with his companions.
"Aunt Qin, go find a few people to help, such as Doctor Wang."
A large bucket of miscellaneous fish is not a small amount, so Du Shaojie asked Qin Xiaomei to find a few helpers. He specifically mentioned Wang Liwen's name, which was also a small favor to the other party.
Recently, Lin Zuo has been very crazy, and the workload has increased a lot. It is said that there is no care for female comrades.
Qin Xiaomei responded in a muffled voice and went out to find someone.
It is easy to say about the farmers and workers. There are many families of farmers and workers who have nothing to do. She can pull a group of people over with just a call.
However, she remembered Du Shaojie's instructions and went to find Lin Zuo first.
"Do you still need our help with the canteen? Don't you see that these people have to feed pigs and herd cattle, where are the idle people?"
Lin Zuo frowned when he heard it, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But Qin Xiaomei is not easy to mess with. She immediately replied, "You have more than 20 mouths to feed. Isn't it right to ask you to help? I don't want more. Just give me Wang Liwen."
Lin Zuo looked at the big and strong Qin Xiaomei, and thought that Wang Liwen couldn't do much work in a day, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Afterwards, Wang Liwen followed Qin Xiaomei to the cafeteria.
"Xiao Du. Master."
When Wang Liwen saw Du Shaojie again, their identities and status had quietly changed.
She wanted to call "Xiao Du" at first, but suddenly felt that it was not good, so she added the word "Master" at the end.
"Don't be so hesitant when talking. Call me Master Du like us from now on."
Qin Xiaomei slapped Wang Liwen casually, almost knocking her to the ground.
"Doctor Wang, the cafeteria brought back a large bucket of miscellaneous fish today, and it's really too busy. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do this job. I'll ask Aunt Qin to send you back."
Du Shaojie looked at Wang Liwen and thought she didn't want to do this.
Wang Liwen was anxious when she heard this, and immediately said, "I am willing, I am willing. Master Du, thank you."
"Oh, is that so? Then let's get started."
Du Shaojie smiled innocently. He and Wang Liwen didn't have much contact, and the reason why he wanted to take care of her was because she had saved him before.
There was another reason. It was a good thing that a doctor came to the farm, and it was worth taking good care of him.
