Changping Village.

Although the Luo family's fish pond does not drain fish for sale on a large scale this year, the Chinese New Year is approaching every day. The fish that the family wants to celebrate the New Year and entertain relatives and friends during the first month still have to be fished in the fish pond.

If you have a fish pond at home, you definitely can’t waste money on buying fish from Wa Market. No matter how rich you are, it’s not such a good way to spend it, right?

Therefore, before having lunch, Luo Fengtang accompanied Blacksmith Luo to the fish pond. At home, Yang Ruoqing took care of the children, and Wang Cuilian went to the kitchen to prepare for lunch.

After a while, Luo Fengtang came back first, carrying a large wooden barrel in both hands.

He put the barrel in the small yard at the door of the bedroom, then quietly came to the door of the bedroom, but did not come in. He just stuck his head and took a look inside.

Yang Ruoqing immediately put down the embroidery in her hands, got up and tiptoed to the small hall outside.

"Do you want me to see the fish?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "They are all in the yard, come and take a look."

Yang Ruoqing immediately came to the yard and saw two wooden barrels on the ground, one barrel had water in it, and seven or eight large crucian carps were swimming in the water.

There was no water in the other wooden barrel, and a handful of hay was placed on it, with three grass carp and three fat-headed fish on it.

There are three big fish and one small one. The big one is nearly six or seven pounds, and the small one is conservatively estimated to be over three pounds.

"Ah, I didn't expect there to be such big fish in our fish pond. I thought they were just little ones. It's really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!" Yang Ruoqing held the wooden bucket and bent down to look at it.

The fish in your own fish pond are good, healthy, fresh and taste good.

Luo Fengtang also smiled and said: "My uncle and I never thought we would have such a harvest."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Didn't we just say we would catch two or three to keep for the New Year? Why did we catch so many at once?"

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Blacksmith Luo caught two grass carps weighing three to four kilograms, brought them home, smeared them with salt and hung them up to make pickled fish.

Although pickled food tastes good, it should be eaten in moderation.

Eating too much pickled food is not good for your health and may lead to high blood pressure and high blood sugar, so if conditions permit, it is better to eat as much fresh food as possible.

"When I saw it, I fished it out. Our family couldn't eat that much, so I sent two to Grandpa and I," Luo Fengtang said.

Ga Gong is naturally Lao Suntou, and Ye is Lao Yangtou.

If you carry out these two representative old people, even if there are not many fish, it will be hard for others to find fault if you don't send them to other relatives and friends.

This is a tribute to the two elderly people. Who has the nerve to fight over it?

"If you're kind enough, I'll send you a grass carp to my father-in-law's house later, and a big fat-headed fish to my grandpa's house. We'll keep the rest at home and eat them later," Yang Ruoqing said.

Suddenly something occurred to her, she patted her head and said: "By the way, Zhi'er and the others are going to be home in the next two days. I'll keep this smaller fat-headed fish. Then I will pull some white radish from the garden and stew it with the fat-headed fish.

.”

Luo Fengtang smiled, "When you say that, I feel hungry."

"What about noon? What should we eat at noon?" He asked again, "There are also crucian carp here."

Yang Ruoqing waved her hand: "Burn four crucian carps, and each of us four adults will have one later."

"Okay, then I'll go and clean it up right now. Once I'm done with it, I'll send it to the kitchen to cook for Auntie. Is it still too late?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing patted his arm: "It's just right to go now, if you delay any longer it will be too late!"

The couple quickly split up. Yang Ruoqing continued to go back to the house to watch over the children, while Luo Fengtang went to clean up the fish. After cleaning, he sent the fish to the kitchen and handed it over to Wang Cuilian.

He went back to the yard, prepared the fish for the Sun family and the Yang Huazhong family next door, and then sent them out.

When he got home after all this, Yang Ruoqing had already prepared hot water, handkerchiefs, scented soap, clean shoes, socks and coats for him.

After running around the fish pond for a long time, my body was somewhat stained with fish scales, water plants, silt and other things.

You can't hold a child in this outfit, so you have to wash it, wash it, and make it smell good.

After all the work was done and they had a delicious meal at noon, Luo Fengtang stayed in the bedroom to deal with official documents and take care of the children.

Yang Ruoqing took the time to visit her parents' house, mainly to deliver salt for pickling fish.

When Luo Fengtang sent the fish to Luo Fengtang earlier, Sun told him that he would deliver it later, but when he came home, Yang Ruoqing dragged him to take a bath and change clothes and forgot about it. No, Yang Ruoqing helped deliver it.

Come here, my parents must not be in a hurry.

As soon as she entered her mother's house, she found Ms. Liu sitting at the table eating a big meal.

Mrs. Sun sat on the edge, poured a bowl of tea for Ms. Liu, and told her to eat slowly and not to choke.

As for Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong, they were both sitting on stools against the wall. Both father and son were smoking dry cigarettes, so that the corner was filled with smoke, as if someone was about to practice and ascend.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes returned to the dinner table. In addition to a bowl of cabbage, there was also a bowl of fish.

Huh?

Yang Ruoqing looked at the fish pieces, and then at the salt in her hand, "Mom, don't you need this salt for some use?"

When Mrs. Sun saw Yang Ruoqing coming, she quickly got up and came over to take the salt. She smiled and said, "Why can't it be put to use? Yes, the fish Tang Yazi sent was too big. I cut it in half and burned it at noon, leaving some

I plan to pickle half of it and eat it, and the salt is just right!"

Mrs. Sun took the salt and went to the backyard kitchen, while Yang Ruoqing came and sat down near Mrs. Liu, not daring to get too close.

Why?

Because Mrs. Liu spits fish bones everywhere, and Mrs. Liu is over forty. When she eats rice, the rice grains stick to her chin and cheeks, like a pig burying its face in a bowl.

It's like eating food.

Sorry, please forgive her for over-describing it, but the facts are really similar.

"Fourth Aunt, I haven't seen you this whole day. Could it be that you went to another village to watch the fun?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Liu raised her head, her cheeks were stretched out, and when she opened her mouth to speak, everything in her mouth was exposed.

There is not only rice, fish but also vegetables.

Yang Ruoqing is really impressed. Others eat food one bite at a time, on a first-come, first-served basis. Liu's mouth is a magical processor. She can stuff everything into her mouth at once without fear of fish bones getting stuck.

"Qing'er, you guessed it right. I followed Huamao and his wife to Yang's husband's house early this morning, and met Dazhou's parents. Haha, luckily I went. It was so fun. I'll finish my meal later.

Let me tell you more in detail!"

Yang Ruoqing naturally nodded and said: "No hurry, no rush, Fourth Aunt, please eat slowly, it will be bad if the fish bones get stuck."

Ms. Liu waved her hand and did not respond, because her mouth had already re-entered the battle...
