Chapter 147 Crispy Fish
"I think this is the way to go. You go quickly. I'll get some of the small fish out and put them in a bucket, and then bring another bucket." Wang Ronghua said.
"Okay, got it." Zhao Guocheng had already put on the backpack while speaking.
This time I didn't carry a bucket, so I went faster.
Although he met people on the road, he just said hello. He didn't have time to ask Zhao Guocheng what he was carrying because Zhao Guocheng had already walked a long way away.
Then some villagers discovered that Zhao Guocheng was returning with a backpack and a bucket in his hand. It was not until they saw Zhao Guocheng walking towards the river that some people reacted.
It turned out that what Zhao Laoer was carrying on his back was a fish.
This was a big deal, and the villagers rushed to the river with fishing nets, buckets, basins, and backpacks.
When they saw Zhao Guocheng actually fishing and there were so many fish in the fishing net, they were all shocked.
"Zhao Laoer, how did you catch so many fish?" someone asked enviously.
"I don't know. There weren't any fish in the past. I don't know why there were so many fish today. Why don't you try casting a net?" Zhao Guocheng suggested.
That makes sense, I'll try it out online.
Then many people behind him started to cast their nets and fish with small fish nets on the river bank.
Suddenly, there were many more people on the riverside.
When everyone saw Zhao Laoer’s harvest, they were so envious that they wished all the fish would fall into their nets.
"Oh, there really is a fish. It's a very big one, probably more than three kilograms." Suddenly a villager said with a laugh.
Sure enough, there was a fish in the net, struggling violently.
"You kid, you're so lucky. You caught a fish as soon as you got here." The man said as he let go of the net.
Can't let the fish escape.
"But how did such a big fish come from? I have never seen such a big fish before."
"Could it be that someone is raising fish upstream?" someone speculated.
"I guess so. Otherwise, how could there be so many fish in the river?"
After hearing this, some people who were about to cast the net immediately stopped and walked a little further to cast the net upstream.
After Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua caught the fish, they hurried home with their children.
Even if there were fish, they would not catch them. With so many people, they could only catch a few. Besides, the big water tanks at home could not hold all the fish.
Fortunately, there was a large water tank in the kitchen at home, and there was still half a tank of water in the tank, which was just right, and I could use it all to raise fish.
"You two should change your clothes quickly." Wang Ronghua instructed Zhao Shimin to help Zhao Shiying change her clothes first.
"Oh my God, there are so many, Ah Cheng. This is too much fish. We can't finish it all. How about you send it to the town and ask Manager Peng and Steward Chen if they want it?" Wang Ronghua was shocked.
This tank is already half full of fish.
What's more, there is a basket of big fish. The fishing net can at least catch half a basket of big fish, and there are also many small fish.
"Okay, I won't pour all these in. I'll go and hitch a bullock cart, cover it with oilcloth, fill it with water, and put all the fish on the cart," said Zhao Guocheng.
"I think it's okay." Wang Ronghua said and went to prepare the oilcloth.
When Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shiying changed their clothes and came out, they saw that their parents had actually put all the fish into the ox cart.
Both of them looked at the ox cart curiously.
"Mom, why do you put the fish here?" Zhao Shiying asked puzzledly.
"We have too many fish at home. We can't eat them all. It would be a pity to waste them. We might as well give some away to sell." Wang Ronghua explained as he poured a bucket of water onto the oilcloth.
"Oh, then it can definitely be sold for a lot of money. Our fish are all fat." Zhao Shiying clapped her hands in applause. She could make money again.
You should know that the smallest of these grass carps weigh more than two kilograms, the largest weighs five or six kilograms, and the most weigh three or four kilograms.
These are the most popular fish for cooking in restaurants or wedding banquets.
Two children watched.
Zhao Guocheng poured all the fish in the basket into the ox cart.
I also used a backpack to go directly to the big tank to catch fish, and then I would just carry out half of the backpack.
They didn't stop until the ox cart was almost full.
"There are some left for our family to eat. I'm going to the town now." Zhao Guocheng hung the backpack on the side of the ox cart and got on it immediately.
"How can you go alone? You have to keep an eye on the fish behind you," Wang Ronghua said.
This fish is alive. If it were brought to the town like this, it would probably jump out of the water.
This fish is really lively.
"Shimin, go to town with dad. Remember to watch the fish on the ox cart. If any fish jump out, tell your dad, okay?" Wang Ronghua said.
"I understand, mother." Zhao Shimin nodded.
So Zhao Guocheng and Zhao Shimin went to the town to sell fish.
"Mom, fish! Fish! I want to eat crispy fish." Zhao Shiying said, pointing at the small fish.
"Okay, wait until mother changes her clothes, then I'll prepare the fish. I'll fry a lot of crispy fish for you in the evening so you can eat as much as you want." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
"Yeah, mom is the best." Zhao Shiying said with a smile.
Wang Ronghua did what she said. She immediately changed her clothes and came out. She also gave Zhao Shiying three pieces of cakes and started to deal with the small fish in the fishing net.
"Oh, I didn't expect there would be such a big crucian carp among these small fish." Wang Ronghua took a bucket and took out five crucian carps weighing about half a pound, which were not small.
"This crucian carp stewed with tofu soup is the best." After Wang Ronghua said this, Zhao Shiying almost drooled.
It took Wang Ronghua an hour just to process these small fish, and he hasn't finished yet. Most of them are still put into buckets and will be dealt with tomorrow. Now he has to make dinner.
Cook rice and grill crispy fish.
The crispy fish is mixed with salt and flour and then fried in hot oil.
And you need to fry it repeatedly for a while, then it will become crispy and fragrant.
Zhao Guocheng didn't come back until dinner time.
"Wow, I can smell the crispy fish from far away." Zhao Guocheng felt hungry just by smelling the smell.
"Change your clothes quickly and come for dinner," Wang Ronghua instructed.
"Hey, right away." Zhao Guocheng grinned.
Zhao Shimin washed her hands and immediately went to get the crispy fish to eat.
Zhao Guocheng came over soon.
"Erbazi came over after work just now and said that the building in the workshop will be almost finished tomorrow, and then the wall will be built. He wanted you to go and have a look so that he can make corrections in time. You didn't go today, and he was worried." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
"Hahaha... I think it's almost finished. Come and tell us. I'll go check it out tomorrow morning. It's too late now. I'm hungry and need to eat." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
"It's just ready, let's eat," Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
"Wow, so many fried fish?" Zhao Guocheng was surprised, there were two full basins.
"That's right. We have only processed a small half of it. We will process the rest when we have time, or dry it into dried fish. Just now when I was frying the crispy fish, Erbazi came over, so I asked him to take a pot back." Wang Ronghua said.
