Looking at those thick and strong astragalus roots, they knew without even looking that they had made a great harvest this time.
Cheng Fangyuan took them to the stream and washed the astragalus. When he saw the harvest in the basket, he knew without a doubt that Song Tangzi would definitely earn hundreds of yuan this time.
The last time he helped Xu Qi collect herbs, they cost more than one yuan and one tael, but they were dried.
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to praise me. This is very simple. However, the astragalus has to be dried to be valuable, and the surface skins have to be rubbed against each other to be clean." Song Tangzi thought of the knowledge he had read in medical books and explained it to the two of them one by one.
Both of them listened very carefully. Cheng Fangyuan stopped hunting and was about to help them carry their things back, but he found that there were fish in the stream?
"You can teach me how to do it when we get back. There are fish here. Let's catch some and take them back to have a snack tonight."
"Okay, okay, uncle, I just saw it and was just about to remind you." Xiaohu just noticed that there were fish in the water and was eager to try. He wanted to go down and catch them immediately, but the two were chatting all the time and he didn't want to interrupt.
The water in this mountain stream was very clear, and you could see at a glance how many stones there were at the bottom, except for the downstream where they had just washed the astragalus and made it turbid.
They can now look up, find a suitable place, roll up their trouser legs and prepare to go down to the river to catch fish.
Cheng Fangyuan asked the two younger ones to hold the backpack and catch the fish, while he himself reached out and touched the fish.
In the Red Star Brigade, the fish ponds are drained every year for children to go fishing. Even Xiaohu started fishing in the river when he was 6 years old, so fishing is very experienced for country children.
Only Song Tangzi, a child from the city, participated in this kind of activity for the first time. He stood in the water with a backpack and didn't know what to do.
In the end, watching the two of them catching fish non-stop, I became a tool for them to watch fish.
However, Song Tangzi was very happy to see this and reminded them from time to time where the fish were.
Because few people come to this stream, there are many fish here.
In less than an hour, they caught five or six big fish. Cheng Fangyuan looked at their harvest and asked Xiaohu to stop. He thought of raising these fish and catching them again when he wanted to eat them. Anyway, few people came to this mountain.
"Let's go back. These are enough. If they are too small, just put them away. When you want to eat them, I will bring you back."
After hearing what his uncle said, Xiaohu looked at the big fish in the basket and could only reluctantly release all the small fish in his basket.
"All right!"
"Xiao Hu, these fish are enough for us to eat. We can catch them next time anyway. We don't have a bucket to take them back now, and they will die if we take them back."
Song Tangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and comforted the disappointed tiger, "We can wait until next time and bring a bucket to catch more."
"That's fine. Uncle Zi, I know a place with a lot of fruit trees. I'll take you there to pick some fruits tomorrow." Xiaohu thought of his secret base and planned to take Song Tangzi to pick more fruits.
"Okay, okay."
Cheng Fangyuan saw that the two little guys were in better spirits, so he called them up, took out the six fish, and cleaned them right there. Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying a dagger with him when he went up the mountain.
Now clean the fish before taking it back, so you don’t have to waste time and make the place smell fishy.
After cleaning everything up, Cheng Fangyuan only took two larger fish and put the remaining four in Xiaohu's backpack, asking him to carry it back as a snack for his family.
Xiaohu was very happy to see the cleaned fish, but he didn't say much.
