Domestic water in the county only passes under the Zaoling Bridge. In this area, the riverside is not polluted.

There is also an irrigation station by the lake, but Zhou Zhi has rarely seen it being used.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhi knew that under the small barge where the machines were placed was a good place to ship goods.

The ground at the junction of the sandy area and the pebble area is very hard, and there is dense wire grass on the ground, which is like a big net clinging to the ground, and it has just sprouted some buds.

It is convenient to set up the stove here. Zhou Zhi and He Dayong put down their backpacks and set up two stoves.

He Dayong was asked to boil water and search for vegetables, while Zhou Zhi dug out an inverted umbrella-shaped fishing net, thinned a piece of bait cake into the net, and placed it next to the barge.

You don’t need to wait too long. After five minutes, you pick it up and there are more than a dozen small river shrimps at the bottom of the net.

There are also a few wheat ear fish in the middle.

The white clouds are reflected in the clear lake, and the slightly raised areas of the surrounding sand are all occupied by reeds, which are very beautiful.

Some water birds chirped and searched for food on the algae ground near the water, moving quickly.

Other than that, it's very quiet.

The water in the small lake is very clean. When the peach blossoms bloom in March every year, swarms of small jellyfish will appear here, attracting many children from Jiachuan to come here to catch jellyfish and tadpoles.

But it's still quiet now.

There was a chattering sound from under the barge, and Zhou Zhi was moved. He gently returned to the shore, went to get a small cart pole from his backpack, took off the hook hanging on the Bagua wheel, and put on a grass shrimp.

, quietly put it down along the side of the barge.

This is Jiachuan's traditional "car pan pole", but it has been modified by Zhou Zhi. A thin and soft glass fiber skewer is added to the front. A small smooth copper wire ring is tied to the skewer. The skewer is also made of red.

The paint is applied section by section, which is very eye-catching.

This is actually a multi-purpose rod. If you remove the fiberglass skewer, it becomes a fishing pole. If you add the fiberglass skewer, it becomes a raft fishing rod.

There is no need to float the raft fishing rod. Generally, the fishing is off the ground, the fishing line is stretched straight in the water, and the fiberglass skewer will fall out of an arc by the pendant.

The signal after the fish takes the bait will be transmitted to this stick, and the timing of lifting the pole can be determined by the shaking of the stick.

The water depth Zhou Zhi fishes in is very shallow, which is one foot below the bottom of the barge and almost one meter underwater.

While slowly lifting the raft fishing rod up and down, paying attention to the slow and regular relaxation of the fiberglass rod with the movement, sprinkle some shrimp-luring loose bait at intervals.

After a few minutes of fun like this, the previous "puff" sound came out again, and then the pole suddenly sank, and Zhou Zhi raised his hand: "hit!"

The cart immediately started spinning faster than the prey, and the fishing line shot out towards the center of the pond, then turned around and rushed towards the bottom of the barge.

"Holy shit!" Zhou Zhi didn't care that there was still shrimp bait in his left hand, and quickly turned the wheel to reel in the line. Once the line was fed, it was easy for the fish to escape.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi's Bagua Wheel rotates very flexibly, and it starts to turn with just a slight flick of the wheel. The fish underwater did not get the chance to spit out the hook, but instead lost the first move. Zhou Zhi took up a lot of the line, and the struggling area became

Even smaller.

The fishing line was whining in the water, but Zhou Zhi had already stood up, standing on the corner of the barge and pulling it to prevent it from getting into the underwater obstacles.

After a few rounds, a grass carp-like figure was pulled out of the water by Zhou Zhi, and fell back again when he saw the light.

But the strength of this fish was much greater than that of grass carp of the same size. Zhou Zhi slowly controlled it, and little by little he got off the pontoon to the lake, and then led it away from the area and came to a place where rainwater flows into the lake.

The location of the water outlet.

The slope here is gentle, which is convenient for towing fish carefully without fish protection.

The fish finally exhausted its strength and rolled over on its side on the water. Zhou Zhi dragged it to the shore along the mouth of the water and caught it.

This is a very healthy and beautiful aquatic treasure. It is called "Qingbo" locally in Jiachuan. Its scientific name should actually be "Chinese Barbel".

This kind of fish is generally difficult for fishermen to catch because they live in rapids or under water with rocks or obstructions, making it very difficult to set the net in those places.

They are usually caught by fishing, or by using a huge net bag that is stretched along the bottom of the big ship to scoop it out.

But if you understand the habits of this fish, it is not difficult to find and catch them. The long algae growing under the old barge, as well as the grass shrimp living in those algae, are Qingbo's favorite food.

Nowadays, there seem to be very few people in Jiachuan who know this, and not many people know how to fish with pendants. As a result, Qingbo has become an easy-to-harvest species under special fishing methods, making it cheaper for Zhou Zhi.

The popping sound just now was the sound of shrimp hunting on clear waves. When Zhou Zhi heard it, he knew that he could add vegetables today.

This clear wave weighs two pounds, which is not too big under a barge at Chishui River Pier, but it is definitely not small in Jingshui Lake or mountain stream.

"Brother Dayong——" Zhou Zhi shouted.

"What are you doing? How long did you prepare the fish?"

"Don't waste the soy sauce! There are also ginger and fatty bacon, leave some -" Zhou Zhi shouted from across the small lake.

"got it--"

The fish was cut open and cleaned immediately by the lake, and Zhou Zhi brought the fish to the picnic spot on the other side of the lake. Brother Dayong had already set up a small table and small chairs.

"Oh, it's still Qingbo! I'm so lucky today!" Brother Dayong grinned. This kid grew up working near the water, so he is certainly no stranger to aquatic products: "I thought it was grass carp just now!"

"Let me taste the fish first, and make some scallion oil before making the broad beans." Zhou Zhi said: "Brother Dayong, put your basket on your back and go to the river to pick up your godfather and godmother. I don't know if you picked it up today."

Nothing good."

Brother Dayong couldn't understand this stupid behavior of running to the riverside to carry no stones into the city, but he still went there obediently.

Zhou Zhi first used the wild onions brought by Brother Dayong and shredded the ginger brought from home, added some salt and water and kneaded it into onion-ginger water to add flavor to the fish, then cut off a piece of fat bacon and cut it into small dices.

First add oil in the pot, then add the diced fat pork to stir-fry the fat. Remove the diced pork and add the wild onions. Fry the wild onions until brown, then pour the onions and oil into a small enamel bowl and set aside.

Then we started making broad beans.

This is very simple. Add the same oil, add diced bacon, diced bamboo shoots, and ginger slices. Stir-fry the tender broad beans until fragrant. Stir-fry for a while. Pour in two bowls of water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and simmer.

After ten minutes, the broad beans are simmered. Open the lid and add salt to reduce the juice. When the juice is almost done, add chopped green onions and stir well.

A very simple, but very delicious dish.

After cooking, transfer the vegetables into a stainless steel basin, use three small stones to surround a small fire pit, put a few pieces of hot coal in it, place the vegetable basin on top, and cover it with a banana leaf to keep it warm.

The pot is too small and the fish cannot be steamed, so there is no need to steam it. Bring another pot of water to a boil, then remove the heat, put the fish segments in, and slowly blanch them.

Making the fish toppings here is actually very simple. Add some soy sauce to the fish soup, add shredded ginger and white sugar, and simmer over low heat.

By the time he took out a bottle of Wuliangye from his backpack and put it on the table, Brother Dayong was already carrying a basket of stones on his back, escorted by his godfather and stepmother.

"Elbow!" The godmother, wearing her thick-rimmed glasses, looked more like a private teacher than a deputy county magistrate: "It seems like she has grown taller again!"

The godfather sniffed: "Don't tell me, I'm really hungry..."
