Chapter 56 Fishing



I was so hungry in the middle of the night that I got up to drink Laba porridge.

It has been cooked for a long time and is about to melt. Fortunately, I added enough water.

Zhou Yian tasted it in a daze.

She thought about Ge Jun again, "What crime did Ge Jun commit? How many years will he be sentenced to?"

This was the first time Zhou Yian witnessed the malice of this era, and he couldn't let this scum go.

"Don't worry." Song Songbai watched her sip the porridge mouthful by mouthful, his heart softened, and he touched her head, "Stealing things from the factory, it will take at least twenty years."

"That's great." Twenty years, Zhou Yi thought to herself. It would be irrelevant whether she and Song Songbai would be here or not by then, and she wouldn't be afraid that he would come out and disgust them.

"How did you do it?" Zhou Yian asked again.

"Didn't we go to the county every day for the past few days? It was to handle this matter. Fang Lai and I were there every day." Song Songbai spoke lightly, "We were just waiting for Qing to sell the stolen goods, and we caught him red-handed.

Zhou Yian was silent. She knew that he had been there several times, and sometimes he would bring her food when he came back. It was not easy to catch the criminal red-handed after working so hard outside. He had to keep an eye on him the whole time. It must be hard to be outside in such weather.

"Thank you for your hard work, husband." Zhou Yian said sweetly, putting her mind at ease.

Song Songbai saw that she was happy and thought that there was no need to explain the specific process to her in detail.

As for how Ge Jun, a small clerk, got in touch with people in the black market and stole so much coal, he had the evil intention of reselling state assets.

He felt that Zhou Yian would not think of it, nor did he need to think of it.

Ge Jun should have gone in anyway.

Laba Festival passed quickly.

The next day, we had to deal with the pig's head. The hair on it could just be burned with fire.

Neither of them had ever roasted a pig's head. This was the first time in history, and they didn't know how to roast it to make it taste better.

Finally, they decided to cook it first. Zhou Yian thought that boiled pork was also delicious.

After it was cooked, the aroma was fragrant. Zhou Yian decided to eat the boiled pig tongue, pig ears and pig head first, and stir-fry the rest with peppers and green onions later.

It's really delicious and can be paired with two bowls of rice.

Now her simplest compliment is that this dish can be paired with several bowls of rice.

So much so that Zhou Yian was already thinking about how to buy two more pig heads before he finished eating this one. Although it didn't look good and was difficult to cook, it was fine as long as it tasted good.

This matter still depends on Ge Qiuze, the middleman. We can't buy it in a big way. We can secretly buy two and give them to you. Even if there is no space, there is no need to worry about them going bad in the winter.

Anyway, Song Songbai had assembled several radios. There were two that were difficult to assemble, and Zhou Yian watched him solder them together, feeling that he was quite professional.

With new income, he had to ask Ge Qiuze to buy more things, so he went back and forth. Although the money was not as much as the radio, Ge Qiuze still made a lot of money from Zhou Yian.

In short, thanks to Ge Qiuze's efforts, Zhou Yian can often eat fresh food this winter. I don't know where Ge Qiuze finds the food to sell in the middle of winter.

Of course, she didn't dare tell this to Song Songbai. If she did, he would definitely get jealous, and she would be the one who got hurt.

So when she found out that the fish she bought was caught by Ge Qiuze himself by the river, she realized that it is possible to dig ice holes and fish here in winter.

Zhou Yian suddenly became excited. There was really nothing fun to watch and he was tired of listening to the radio over and over again.

As soon as I heard about fishing, I wanted to run outside happily, no longer caring about the cold.

Of course, fishing requires a fishing rod, and fortunately there is a middleman near my house.

It’s so convenient! Zhou Yian thought, holding the fishing rod and fishing net, and it can be delivered to your door for free.

However, I didn't expect that when I looked at the river, I found that almost everyone who came here from Gejiazhuang had a fishing rod, and you could tell at a glance that they were all made of the simplest wood and fishing line hooks.

It's easy to do with some tools. No wonder Ge Qiuze looked at her as if she was a fool when he saw her asking for a good fishing rod.

It turns out that everyone does it themselves now.

Some families also brought fishing nets, but Zhou Yian couldn’t tell whether they made them themselves.

She had to greet people awkwardly, and saw them enthusiastically praising her fishing rod, saying it looked very fine and was sure to catch fish.

But Zhou Yian did not get lost in the flattery. The more he calculated the money, the more he regretted it. He wondered how much it would cost to make this thing himself. It was indeed not cheap to buy it.

But at this point, I can only say, it's okay, it's okay, no loss at all.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.

She has a good fishing rod and is sure to catch some good fish.

No! Still angry, she looked at Song Songbai, "Why didn't you remind me that I could do it myself."

Song Songbai squinted at her and said, "You didn't ask."

Don't tell if you don't ask.

She was so angry with him. Was he still holding a grudge against her for taking away all the money she earned from the radio?

Indeed, Song Songbai thought to himself, every penny earned is a penny earned.

Zhou Yian's mind was wandering, but he could still think of the important things from time to time. "Quick, quick, look for places with more fish, and we'll dig holes there."

Song Songbai has always been good at seeking benefits and avoiding risks when it comes to things he is not proficient in. He doesn't have the ability to find where there are more fish, and if she fails to catch any, based on Song Songbai's understanding of her, she might try to pass the blame on to him.

So he simply shook his head and said, "As long as it's the land you picked, it must be a treasure."

"Hmph," Zhou Yian snorted with a smile, not expecting him to be avoiding risks, "Now you know how to talk."

Song Songbai sighed in his heart, it was all the result of training.
