Chapter 282

Li Long rode back to the county, first went around the free market, and found that Li Jianguo was not there, he should have sold the fish and gone home. In the team selling fish, Meng Zhiqiang was not there either, but another Zheng Dongsheng was still there, he had a wet urea bag in front of him, and a pile of fish on it—this one didn't even prepare a basin, carried a urea bag over, found a stall at the place, took out the fish and put it on the urea bag, and an enamel basin on the side to measure the fish.

Now there are more than two kilograms of fish, all crucian carp, still okay, not dead, estimated to be splashing some water from the ditch next to it from time to time.

Seeing Li Long, Zheng Dongsheng was not embarrassed, and greeted with a smile:

"Xiao Long, you went to Shicheng? I saw your big brother go back."

"You haven't finished selling yet?"

"Hmm, this is all that's left." Zheng Dongsheng was also quite satisfied: "It's okay to sell a few cents."

"Then you go busy, I'm leaving." Li Long didn't know what to say, others are different from him, satisfied and happy, in fact, he also thought about this, but he has seen too good scenery, eaten too good things, and that coarse bran can't be swallowed.

He went around, and didn't see the mother and daughter selling rice, guessed they should have finished selling and closed the work, so he rode the bicycle to the courtyard.

Gu Xiaoxia was not there, Li Long put the basin and scale away, checked the tires again, saw that there was no need to inflate, and then started preparing to cook.

Pinch some green onions and coriander from the vegetable plot for later use, first knead the dough, after the dough is kneaded, cover it with a cage cloth and put it away, then cut the vegetables.

Tomatoes and green chili on the vegetable rack are all available, pick a handful of celery from the vegetable plot, wash it, and pick the leaves and throw them into the trash can. This thing is said to lower blood pressure later, but usually it is not eaten at this time, mainly because it has a bitter taste.

Peel a few cloves of garlic, cut into slices and put in a small bowl, and put some ginger together.

Tomatoes, green chili, celery cut and put in a large plate for later use, scoop a spoonful of cooked oil and meat into the bowl with a spoon, and start to light the fire.

Familiar with the road, heat the pot and put oil, put garlic and ginger, stir a few times, pour vegetables, stir-fry almost, the fragrance comes out, put salt, stir a few times and get out of the pot.

Wash the pot, pour the water into the slop bucket next to it, then pour water and burn it, here start to roll the dough, use a knife to cut the dough into dough pieces, and then cover it with a wet cage cloth to moisturize. When the water boils, start to pinch the noodle pieces—try to pinch them thinner, no need to show technology, it's okay to be slow.

After the noodles are pinched, boil them, then pour the stir-fried vegetables in, stir with a spoon, scoop some soup out to taste, a bit light, put some salt, remove the fire.

Pour the cut coriander in, scoop out an enamel basin, let it cool slightly, Li Long couldn't wait to eat—really fragrant!

After eating a small basin of soup noodles, Li Long felt that life is like this, enough.

Too full, don't want to move. After a while, he slowed down, seeing that the time was still early, he washed his basin, and then poured the noodle soup noodles in the pot into the big basin. This thing can't be left in the pot for a long time.

The noodle soup noodles are in the kitchen, covered with a pot lid, Li Long cleaned up the kitchen, rested for a while, and pushed the bicycle out.

There are so many fish in the big sea, Li Long originally just wanted to try it, now it seems that he needs to operate it well.

Of course, now it is also preparing for things behind.

When riding back, Li Long also saw Wu Shufen at the gate of the township middle school, and the other party also saw him. Li Long didn't care, rode to the primary school. Middle school just finished school at this time, Li Long guessed that primary school should also have finished school. When he arrived at the primary school, he just caught up with Li Juan pulling Li Qiang's arm and walking out, counting while walking:

"School is over, homework is done, why don't you go back—you know how to play all day, when will you play until?"

"Why can't I play after I finish my homework? Several people are playing—!"

"Then didn't you see that most of them went back? People go home and know how to help the family work, what about you?" Li Juan was a bit hateful that iron didn't become steel, "You are very active when buying popsicles, I am a bit slow and you urge me, why are you not active when going home..."

"I wasn't thirsty then!" Li Qiang struggled while trying to defend himself.

Li Long wanted to laugh when he heard it from behind, he shouted:

"Juan, Qiangqiang, come, sit on the bicycle!"

Now there are few people in the whole township who can ride a bicycle, he is quite attractive at the school gate, this shout attracted many people's eyes.

Li Juan turned her head to see Li Long, smiled and let go of Li Qiang. Li Qiang hurriedly ran over, automatically got on the crossbar, and said to Li Long:

"Uncle, my sister is talking about me again!"

"That's your sister, she is talking about you for your own good."

Although many people in later generations complain about relatives oppressing themselves under the banner of "for your own good," to be honest, Li Long's words were quite useful at this time.

Li Juan also came over and sat on the back seat, Li Long pedaled the bicycle.

Asked two questions about the situation at school, Li Juan praised the handle and big broom that Li Long helped tie, because most of the handles in the class were broken, and their group's was still good, and the big broom was too.

"Tell me when you tie it next year." Li Long knew this was just a matter of hand, but it could bring a lot of spiritual benefits to Li Juan.

"Alright." Li Juan was very happy.

"Uncle, can we tell you when we tie big brooms and handles?" Li Qiang asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Li Long answered while pedaling with a smile.

Li Qiang was satisfied, grabbed the bicycle handle with both hands, looked forward with a smile, and greeted his classmates on the side of the road loudly.

"You have to be in the third grade to tie a broom—" Li Juan mercilessly dismantled the stage from behind, "Now you are so small, who dares to let you play with fire?"

"Oh..." Li Qiang's mood suddenly fell.

Fortunately, children's psychological adaptability is extremely strong, and after a while, he said to Li Long again:

"Uncle, my classmates in the class all think my gun is good, almost let someone grab it..."

"It was me who helped you grab it back." Li Juan continued to make up the knife from behind.

Li Long almost couldn't hold back. "Hmm, if it wasn't for my sister, it would really have been grabbed." This time Li Qiang said seriously, "My sister took a big broom and almost beat that person to cry..."

Li Long laughed directly, Li Juan had such a "violent" time!

"I... I will be in middle school in two years." Li Juan explained desperately, "At that time, no one will look after Qiangqiang, I just feel at this time... just feel..."

"Just feel that if you beat people into submission, no one will bully Qiangqiang then, right?" Li Long added understandingly.

"Hmm."

"Well done." Li Long praised, "You are a good sister, you should think so."

"Little Uncle, can you not tell my mom?" Li Juan was quite happy, but still exhorted Li Long.

"Why?"

"My mom will say I am a 'wild girl', only knowing how to fight..."

"Hahaha, no. Okay, I won't say it, actually you did it quite right, I think if your mom knows, she will also praise you."

"Still... don't say it." Li Juan was a bit uncertain.

!.

"Okay, then Qiangqiang, you don't say it either."

"I know!" Li Qiang promised loudly.

The bicycle rode over the reed ditch, the road here was leveled, and a simple bridge was built, but it was much better than before.

Returning to the Li family, there was no one in the courtyard. After the two children got off the car, they put down their schoolbags and went to drink water.

Li Long stood the bicycle well, thinking about setting nets later.

However, since Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei were not there, he planned to cook pig feed before leaving.

Now the wild grass has withered, and the sugar beet leaves have dried up, so boiling pork is mainly based on bran, sugar dregs and oil dregs. Li Long brought a bundle of sunflower stalks here, Li Juan had already started to pour water and put materials into the pot specially for boiling pig feed.

The fire had only been burning for a while, Li Jianguo came back from outside, he carried a large bundle of grass, this is for feeding horses today.

After a while, Tao Daqiang walked in from outside the courtyard.

Li Long got up and gave the position of burning fire to Li Juan, he said to Daqiang:

"Daqiang, go, set nets."

"Alright." Tao Daqiang was very happy, but he asked again: "Brother Long, how many nets to set today?"

"Eight, right." Li Long hesitated and said, "The situation in the morning might be that we hit a school of fish. It's hard to determine if there are really so many fish in the big sea, let's try it first, if there are still so many fish when we take the nets tomorrow, then we will set six nets tomorrow."

"Alright." Tao Daqiang also felt that it should be like this.

"Then you set the nets, and harness the horse-drawn carriage directly tomorrow morning. If there are many fish, it's just right, if there are few fish, then look at the situation later." Li Jianguo also suggested, "Avoid running an extra trip."

Li Long thought it was right, so he asked:

"Big Brother, how was the fish sold today?"

"It's okay, sell it cheaply, sold out in two hours. Mainly because I went late."

"Then set ten nets, harness the horse-drawn carriage tomorrow directly." Li Long said, "If there are many fish, follow today, go sell fish early. I see that people buying fish can accept this fish."

"What's unacceptable, it's just thinner than the little sea's fish, but we are cheap."

According to Li Jianguo's idea, it's good to have something to eat, and it's so cheap, where can you find it?

Out of the courtyard, Li Long took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it to Tao Daqiang:

"Daqiang, this time there are many fish, and a lot of money was sold, you run two more trips, give you five more yuan. Tomorrow it will still be five yuan."

"Alright." Tao Daqiang didn't pick either.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang carried the tires and brought the nets to the big sea, this matter soon spread in the residential point.

The little sea is defaulted to be the team's, but the big sea is not. So setting nets to catch fish in the big sea has actually been resisted by many people, which also led to many very good opportunities being missed.

Li Long doesn't want to miss it this year.

When passing through the East Village (the residential point on the east side), people greeted Li Long from time to time, and Li Long responded one by one.

Someone asked Li Long directly how much money he sold fish for today, Li Long laughed and said not much, the two walked all the way to the big sea, there was still no one here.

Both of them have good eyesight, and can see that there is no one on the north shore—in fact, because there is a dam on the north shore, it is very deep, so you must use a tire or a small boat to set nets, unlike the south side which is so convenient.

As usual, Li Long went into the water to set the nets. Li Long was experimenting this time, so he changed to a groove to set the nets, this groove is west of the original groove, almost running through the big sea from south to north, Li Long guessed that if the density of fish in the big sea is about the same, then there should be more fish in this groove.

After setting ten nets, the sun had reached the edge of the ground in the west, and began to descend slowly.

Next, it depends on tomorrow. (End of chapter)
