The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 269 Fishing

"Haha, you have a preconceived notion. The few dishes I cooked were all taught to my aunt and her friends. You should give them more opportunities to practice. Their skills will definitely improve after a few more times, just like our writing skills."

"You're right, but you should do it next time."

Zhou Mingshu rolled his eyes and finally had to agree lovingly.

"Okay, if we catch a lot of fish, we can have a fish feast."

"That's a good feeling!"

As the sun set and dusk fell, everyone in the yard left.

Before the family had a chance to rest, they started busy preparing dinner.

But there were too many pig-killing dishes made for lunch, and there was still a lot left in the pot.

Put fire on the bottom of the pot, add hot water and vegetables into the pot, and stew it until you have a new dish.

Each person took a bowl and ate it casually.

As the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, Boss Zhou asked people to drill several large holes in the river.

Then he threw the fishing net prepared early in the morning into the water.

Whether you can catch fish depends on God's will.

It might be because these guys made too much noise.

All the men, young and old in the village came over with their arms folded to watch the fun.

The village chief also came over with welding smoke in his mouth.

"Shouren, what's the situation? Are there any fish in the water?"

"Uncle, there are probably fish. In the summer, I put a fish basket in the river and caught a few. This means there are fish fry in the river."

"Haha, well, if you catch enough fish, can you give us one too? Everyone who sees it should get a share, right?"

Wang Fugui was a shameless man. He would rather accept the free fish than refuse it. Since no one else mentioned it, he had no choice but to ask for it.

"Hahaha, okay. If there are a lot of nets, everyone can have a share. If there aren't many, then we brothers can share it!"

"Okay, okay, that's fine. You guys should not just sit there and help out. You can't just stand there and eat for free!"

As soon as the village chief shouted, the men on the shore rolled up their sleeves and helped.

The truth is true. If you are unwilling to sweat even a drop, how can you have the nerve to pick up fish that someone else caught from the net?

Old Mrs. Zhou and her children were watching from the side. She had no objection to the village chief's suggestion.

The fish are fish in the river, and the river belongs to everyone. During the New Year, if you eat alone, you will inevitably be criticized.

Score points when they are due, and you can also gain a good reputation.

After waiting for an hour and a half, several men began to pull up the underwater fishing nets.

"Ouch, give me a hand, it's quite heavy."

Boss Zhou called his brothers and pulled it up little by little.

"It's strong. You can feel there's a fish on the net with just one touch. Hurry up and use more strength."

Zhou Laosan's brothers all came and tried their best.

A net was pulled up, and all it contained were white fish bellies.

"Oh my goodness, so many fish, so many fish~"

The smoke in Wang Fugui's lungs almost came up, choking him and causing him to cough twice.

"Haha, it's not bad. It's not in vain."

Old Mrs. Zhou was having a good time on the side.

"Xiao Lian Cui Fen, children, quickly fillet the fish."

There are a row of buckets at your feet. No matter how big or small the fish is, you will first take them off the net.

The ice on the river was not very thick. Zhou Lao Da and his companions dragged the net to the ground and fished together with his wife and children.

No matter how many fish there are, there must be enough left for the family to eat.

"Brother Lin, don't just stand there. Hurry up and untie a few and send them home. Ask your aunts and uncles to bring basins over. You must keep enough for yourselves, and distribute the rest to the villagers." Boss Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's listen to Shouren. Let's get started quickly. Be careful. We'll need this net later."

Zhou Lin and his companions were still a little reserved, but after hearing what their brother said, they squatted down to unclog the fish.

These fish are about the same size, with the heaviest weighing only two or three pounds, but there are quite a lot of varieties.

Crucian carp, grass carp, carp, silver carp, black carp, etc...

Zhou Mingshu didn't think too much about it and was just cleaning the fish in front of him.

Fortunately, we scattered some fish fry in the summer, and I was thinking of catching them for everyone to eat.

Who would have thought that this opportunity would benefit the whole village.

Zhou Lin and his friends, holding four fish in each hand, ran back home happily.

Each person carried at least nine or ten pieces, and no matter how many people there were in the family, it was enough for two or three meals.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at the fish in the bucket, picked out the ones she liked and asked her grandson to pour them into the water tank first.

"Pour it gently, don't choke to death, let's see if you can keep it alive for a few more days."

After instructing Zhou Mingzhi, she continued to pick up the next bucket.

Looking at the fish all over the ground, everyone in the village, young and old, became anxious.

Wow, it would be great if this could be accessed through our own network.

Wang Fuwen squeezed in from the crowd and howled, "Mrs. Zhou, didn't you say you would give some to the villagers as well? Why did you take all the money home?"

Wang Fuwen was very dissatisfied with her behavior. All the big and good fish were picked up by this old woman, so his family would not get any good fish.

He howled loudly, and the people around him looked at him sideways.

"Hey, brother Fu Wen, I heard that your house collapsed. How did you and your wife sleep these days? Did you sleep in the cowshed of the village chief?"

One of them must have disliked him and made a casual joke.

I don't know how, but it was as if a spark touched the barrel of a cannon and it ignited instantly.

Wang Fuwen was not happy when he heard this. "I sleep wherever I want. What's it to you? I can sleep on your floor or on your couch!"

The man didn't get angry after hearing this, and was still cheerful. "Hey, hey, why are you mad at me? I care about you, why don't you hear my good points? It's New Year's Day, let's not embarrass ourselves in front of everyone and make a fool of ourselves."

This was said cleverly and the bystanders did laugh, but the only one who laughed was Wang Fuwen.

Wang Fuwen's eyes narrowed and he was filled with anger.

Old Mrs. Zhou didn’t think about picking the big ones. These fish were all about the same size and it was hard to pick one out!

She just walked around and was actually choosing varieties.

Some fish have more bones, and children don’t like to eat fish with many bones, so she chose more crucian carp, grass carp and black carp.

She picked fewer species with many bones, such as carp and silver carp, but she didn't expect that this would cause some complaints.

Fortunately, someone spoke up for her, otherwise she would have gone up and started cursing.

But we can't let people misunderstand us no matter what.

"Don't get me wrong, the fish caught in the net are all about the same size. I can't tell which is which. My kids love fish soup, so I picked some extra crucian carp. All my fish has been taken away. Come and get whatever fish you want."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou spoke, men, women, old and young, carrying basins, gathered around her.

"Don't rush, don't rush. If you can't get a share, just wait for the next one."
