The boat carried Uncle Liu, Yan Xiao, and Zhao Zhonggang, and drifted out staggeringly. Here, Zhou Zhi and Jiang Hongxing began to squat down and collect fish from the net.

The only trouble with wire mesh is to take it out, and you often have to break it when you take it out, and repairing it afterwards is also a lot of work.

Most of the fish on the Internet are small fish under one kilogram, and most of them are small earth-yellow fish. The largest one is only half a kilogram smaller. It has a pointed head and a wide tail, a fat and round belly, and fine scales all over its body. This is the famous fish in the Yangtze River.

The wild aquatic product - water honey seed.

The scientific name of the water honey tree is round-mouthed copperfish. It is still relatively common today. It usually lives on reefs with fast currents. It has extremely high requirements for dissolved oxygen in the water, so it almost dies when it comes out of the water.

It is also because of this characteristic that it is very difficult to breed artificially. It was not until thirty years later, after these guys were eaten by people and became national second-level protected animals for many years, that they were successfully bred.

Obviously, the bottom of the river in this area is full of large rocky beaches, which are the favorite habitats of several species of fish such as yellow pepper, rock carp, and water honey. The "water honey nest" mentioned by Uncle Liu is basically correct.

Su Shi once recorded a kind of "pigeon fish" in his notes. Zhou Zhi thought that the description was very similar to the water honey seed. However, it appeared in the north. Whether it was the water honey seed or not, we have to have time to study it carefully.

In addition to honey seeds, there are also many small fish such as white strips, boat nails, crucian carp, twists, and yellow spicy diced fish online.

Except for crucian carp and yellow pepper diced, the rest of the small fish could not survive, so Zhou Zhi kept them all, then threw away all the crucian carp less than three taels and yellow pepper diced less than 2 taels, and put away the remaining live crucian carp and yellow pepper diced.

Keep it in a large aluminum pot.

Fortunately, the speed of collecting the string hook is faster than picking the fish from the silk net. After a while, the boat slowly came in from a hundred meters away and rolled up a few rusty fish in the dustpan on the bow of the ship twice.

The coil of the long-handled crooked mouth string hook.

Four string hooks, each one hundred meters long, and one hook half a meter long, here are two hundred fishhooks.

The fish in the rapids are very aggressive in swallowing hooks. The entrance of the hook is very deep, and many of them will even be swallowed into their stomachs. In that case, you usually have to cut the rope.

But it didn't exist today. Even though they had just met for the first time, Uncle Six had already regarded him as an "acquaintance" with his thoughtful words, so he no longer worried about keeping the fish alive and forcefully removed the hook to avoid the trouble of retying it later.

.

It doesn't matter if the fish is injured, it will be killed in two hours anyway.

After collecting the fish, Uncle Liu hung the earthworm segments on the string hook again and lowered it back into the river little by little.

In fact, this action is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, your fingers may be caught on rusty hooks and may be stretched by fishing lines. Not only is this painful, but you can also easily get tetanus.

Therefore, even if Yan Xiao and Zhao Zhonggang wanted to take the initiative to help, Uncle Six refused, and rushed the two of them to the big boat to help. They paddled with one hand and used the current to control the boat and lower the hook. This unique skill amazed Zhou Zhi.

If Liu Shu could read "The Oil Seller" by Liu Yi layman, it would be his turn to say calmly: "No one else, only the hands and ears."

In the end, the fish caught were counted. One rock carp weighed three kilograms, water honey seeds eight kilograms, and the remaining white-striped peach blossom boat dings and other "not serious fish" in Uncle Liu's mouth also weighed four or five kilograms. Uncle Liu gave them away directly, and also took two

A pound of small river shrimp.

Yes, this is also a strange phenomenon. Nowadays, river shrimps are not worth much in the area from Manzhou to Yuzhou.

Especially in the summer when the water rises along the river, children can catch several kilograms of small fish and shrimps in a day using only a skip and a shrimp chop.

But the taste... Zhou Zhi took a sip of saliva, it was really good.

Twelve yuan for the rock carp, sixteen yuan for the water honey, and the rest were given away for free. Zhou Zhi was so ashamed that he didn't dare to give more, so he only gave thirty yuan to make up for the total amount of the rock carp from five yuan to one.

The difference between the price and the price dropped to four yuan is still a yuan difference.

Uncle Liu was very happy. He made thirty yuan today without leaving home. Such a gain was rare.

A large aluminum basin was borrowed, and all the fish and shrimps, large and small, were poured into the basin. After saying goodbye to Uncle Six, everyone carried the basin back together.

Buying fish is a temporary pleasure, but it saves you a lot of trouble. Jiang Hongxing looked at this big basin of small fish and felt that one was as big as two. If he only relied on his own customers, he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi had no such plan after carrying the fish back outside the manor.

The winner has been decided, and a bunch of girls stood behind Su Datou, smiling and gnawing on the cut sugar cane.

There were a lot of trophies placed on the low stool next to Jiang Shuyi.

On the other hand, Lao Mu's side was a bit miserable. Zhang Lu and Fang Wenyu each held a few sugarcane shoots in their hands, and Yang He even had empty hands.

Sugarcane tips are not very sweet, so Zhang Lu and Fang Wenyu didn't eat them. When Zhou Zhi came over, Fang Wenyu didn't even care about Mu Ruyun who was still standing on the bench and cheered: "The event is over. The event is over! Happy!"

Give me two sweet ones."

Ye Xin had already grabbed the two best halves in her hands and handed them to Fang Wenyu immediately: "Well, here they are!"

Zhou Zhi laughed so hard that the bowl almost dropped: "Old Mu, who boasted about being the number one sugarcane swordsman in Fubao Town? Is he actually at this level?"

Mu Ruyun raised his knife and drew two circles in the air, and then chopped the sugar cane with one strike. He also jumped down from the stool. He used the sugar cane knife from top to bottom, and finally played "splitting firewood" once, and said angrily: "Yes

Isn’t my level good enough?! Look, is it my level that’s not good enough?! Besides, I didn’t lose much, right?!”

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi quickly handed the edge of the basin to Yang He who came up to take over: "Old Mu, let me tell you, you are like Xiang Yu, and Datou is like Han Xin. You are still playing tactics, and he is already playing strategy.

Already."

"You don't seem to have lost much, but why are you so unsweetened? How come such a smart person hasn't figured it out yet?"

"Depend on!"

"Hurry up and eat. After you've eaten, let's all help out. There's a lot of work here."

Small fish need to have their gills picked out and their internal organs removed. Watermelons don’t need to scrape their scales, but other scales need to be removed.

This is a big project. Zhou Zhi arranged it. More than a dozen people worked together. Those who could use knives and scissors were responsible for cutting open the fish and removing its internal organs.

After the water washing and the assembly line were set up, the speed was quite fast.

There are two ways to eat small miscellaneous fish, white strips and green shoots. For the slightly larger ones, put the charcoal fire inside the "roasted fish", put an iron pot on top, simmer and dry-roast.

The smaller ones are coated in flour and fried.

There are two ways to make water honey seeds. The first one is the most classic southern Sichuan style, dry roasting;

The second one is the flavor of watercress fish with juice.

The way to make rock carp is to make tuotuo fish, cut it into pieces, coat it in flour and fry it, then stew it in the prepared sauce. This method is called "ruandu" in Jiachuan dialect.

The small river shrimps are also fried when frying the small fishes. The small river shrimps are sprinkled with salt, pepper and chili powder. Half of the fried small fishes are treated like this, and the remaining half are fried with raw green peppers.
