The cold wave is coming, and once it comes, we will be completely unable to go out.
Liu Xiaojun prepared various things before this and spent a lot of money.
The more than 600 yuan from selling the wild boar was used to buy various tickets, rice, cotton, etc.
After giving 100 yuan to Liu Huizhen for household expenses, Liu Xiaojun still had more than 300 yuan left.
More than 300 yuan can feed the whole family for a long time, and I don’t have to rely on fishing to make money for the time being.
Liu Xiaojun had not planned to go fishing today, but he had no choice because he had promised Director Wang to deliver fish to the street office.
But he doesn't dig for earthworms.
Yesterday, I happened to kill a wild boar at home, so I indulged myself by using the chopped liver to fish.
Pork liver and chicken liver are similar, both are more attractive to catfish, so you might be able to catch a lot of catfish.
Liu Xiaojun opened the cabinet and just as he took the pig liver in his hand, Liu Huizhen appeared: "Xiaojun, what are you going to do with the pig liver? Are you going to eat it?"
"No, I'm using it to fish. Didn't I promise Director Wang that I would deliver fish to the neighborhood office?"
Liu Huizhen was distressed: "You can use earthworms for fishing. It's such a waste to use pig liver! If you don't want to dig earthworms, mom will dig them for you!"
As he said this, he was about to pick up the hoe in the corner.
"No, Mom, let me tell you, all I caught with earthworms were silver carp, and last time I caught with chicken liver, all I caught were catfish."
Liu Xiaojun said pitifully, "Director Wang and his family all like to eat catfish. If we don't catch any catfish with our earthworms, what if Director Wang thinks I'm not serious enough and doesn't recommend me to work at the steel mill?"
When Liu Huizhen heard this, she immediately retracted her hand.
I can't delay my son's work, so I can only look at the pig liver with distress: "Okay, then you should use less, oh, this is such a waste!"
"Okay." Liu Xiaojun couldn't help laughing.
I knew that as long as I said that doing these things would affect my future, Liu Huizhen would not stop me.
I don't want to use pig liver to fish, but earthworms are indeed not as easy to catch as pig liver.
It's several degrees below zero now. The cotton-padded jacket I'm wearing is too thin and I'll be cold if I go out.
If you can finish fishing and go home early, go home early!
We soon arrived at the fishing spot.
The ice on the river was so hard that it couldn't be shoveled away, and the fishermen had taken a break and didn't come.
Liu Xiaojun let out a breath.
Fortunately, this group of people didn't come, otherwise they would have to surround me to change things. The weather is so cold, and the cotton-padded jacket I am wearing is so thin. I am freezing to death and don't want to stay here any longer.
Liu Xiaojun felt that the ice in the river was getting thicker and thicker.
If it weren't for the ice-breaking skills provided by the system, Liu Xiaojun would have been unable to fish at all.
It took more than ten minutes to chip the ice, and finally it was broken. Liu Xiaojun replaced the fishing hook with a new one, strung it with pig liver, and prepared to fish.
The fishhook Liu Xiaojun used for fishing this time was bought at the grocery store last time he passed by. This kind of fishhook has barbs and is not easy to come off. If he encounters a big fish weighing more than ten pounds, it can also be caught.
If nothing else, winter fishing is still very good.
In a short while, Liu Xiaojun caught more than a dozen catfish, three of which were big catfish weighing more than ten kilograms!
Even a turtle was pulled up.
Liu Xiaojun took off the hook with a smile: "No, you little thing, why don't you hibernate in the fields and come here to join in the fun!"
It’s a pity that Wangba can’t speak and didn’t reply to him!
Turtle, also known as soft-shelled turtle, nourishes yin and strengthens the kidneys. In winter, stew a pot of spicy soft-shelled turtle soup and drink a sip to warm your whole body.
Sure enough, the newly bought fish hook works great!
Liu Xiaojun threw the catfish weighing more than ten kilograms, along with the turtle, into his backpack, and strung the other fish together with straw ropes through their gills and held them in his hand.
Then I packed up and went home.
The wind was so cold on the road that it blew directly into Liu Xiaojun's sleeves.
Liu Xiaojun felt the chill and wrapped his cotton jacket tighter.
This cotton-padded jacket was left by Liu Huizhen’s lover, who is probably older than him!
It's not warm at all when I wear it. I'll shiver with cold if there's a little wind.
I have just bought some new cotton, but I lack cloth. With the cloth, I can ask Liu Huizhen to make new cotton-padded jackets for the whole family. If we can wear the new cotton-padded jackets, the whole family won't have to suffer from the cold anymore!
Liu Xiaojun thought as he walked, and immediately decided to go to the pigeon market after delivering the fish to exchange some cloth coupons to make a cotton-padded jacket.
The kind that is thicker with cotton!
Liu Xiaojun's backpack was filled with big fish, which he wanted to keep for himself. It would be bad if the people from the street office saw them, so he went back to the courtyard first, prepared to put the big fish down and then go to the street office again.
Back home.
Liu Huizhen couldn't stop smiling when she saw so many catfish.
"Hurry, hurry, come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Looking at Liu Xiaojun's red hands from the cold, Liu Huizhen's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Mom, I'm fine. Just take care of the backpack." Liu Xiaojun handed the backpack to Liu Huizhen like he was presenting a treasure.
Liu Huizhen took it and looked at it: "Oh my god, there's a turtle in it!"
"In the early years, this turtle could only be seen in rice fields, and I had never heard of catching it by fishing!" Liu Huizhen was also amazed.
"But this thing has a lot of shells, it's not very tasty, and it wastes firewood." Liu Huizhen pouted.
Liu Xiaojun laughed and said, "Indeed, this thing is useless to us. I'll just sell it to the street office!"
But Mom, you can pickle this ten-pound catfish and eat it as salted fish for the New Year!
"Okay, I didn't expect there would be such a big catfish in this river!" Liu Huizhen took the big backpack in a daze, and was so happy that she couldn't calm down.
"Okay, Mom, leave a big catfish for Shazhu and Yushui to come over to our house and make pickled fish. He's a chef and his food tastes better."
