"Everyone is hungry, everyone is hungry."

I saw a few women carrying buckets and coarse-grain steamed buns coming. They were the food deliverers.

Liu Chen took two cornmeal buns, filled a bowl of porridge with some pickles, and leaned against the wheat straw pile to eat.

Liu Hu also sat next to Liu Chen with food in his hands.

The wind picked up, and the rancid smell from Liu Hu's body floated up. Liu Chen wrinkled his nose and held his breath.

I don’t know if this kid hasn’t taken a shower in a few days. His body smells so bad that he really can’t eat anymore.

He wanted to stay away from Liu Hu, but he was afraid of hurting Liu Hu's self-esteem.

He gently turned sideways and asked Liu Hu: "How many days have you not taken a bath? I will take you to the river to take a bath after work."

When Liu Hu heard about bathing in the river, he became excited and nodded with a smile.

He said he was taking Liu Hu down to the river to take a bath, but in fact he was just a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. He wanted to take Hu Zi down to the river to fish. He walked to the river several times and saw many fish in it, and he wanted to catch fish. Eat. All because of some of his concerns.

Soon Huzi finished eating the steamed buns, but his stomach was still growling. Liu Chen broke off half of his steamed buns and gave it to Liu Hu. He had eaten enough of the cornmeal steamed buns. If he hadn't been afraid of starving to death, he wouldn't have wanted to take a bite. When eaten, it is dry, hard, irritating the throat, and most importantly, choking. After one bite, he has to drink a lot of water to wash it down.

After eating quickly, everyone started to work again.

Liu Chen was still doing a job that others envied, leading a mule to press a stone wheel.

A few hours later, the sun put away its dazzling light and turned golden. The towering mountains in the distance, shrouded in the sunset, were covered with a golden coat. From a distance, they looked particularly colorful. It was really impressive. It reminds me of the sentence "The sunset is infinitely beautiful".

Liu Chen watched the sunset slowly set, waiting for the bell to ring for the end of work.

The waiting was the longest. He really didn’t want to lead the mule around anymore. After walking around for a day, the sky was dizzy and the earth was spinning. He had been drawing circles on the ground for a whole day. He even wanted to draw circles while walking.

"Dong~dong~"

The end of work bell rang.

"Let's go, Huzi." Liu Chen made a leaving gesture to Liu Hu.

Liu Hu followed closely.

"This kid is as slow as an ox when he gets to work, and when he gets off work, he runs away quickly." Liu Fugui took the mule and shook his head.

The two quickly arrived at the Huaihe River, which was the river that "brought" them here, and it was here that Wang Mudan and the others fished themselves out.

The cool wind blew on his face, and Liu Chen felt that his mood suddenly felt much better and more relaxed. The fatigue of working just now was half gone. Looking down at the water of the Huaihe River at his feet, the water near him was yellow, but in the distance it was The blue breeze blew, causing ripples on the river surface, which seemed to disperse in the distance.

As the saying goes, "If you travel thousands of miles, you will never be as good as the two banks of the Huaihe River." The Huaihe River is rich in aquatic products, has beautiful scenery, and is a land of fish and rice.

But in the past few days since I came here, I haven’t eaten a single fish or shrimp. I’ve only been eating pickles and steamed buns all day long. This is different from the later generations. What about mandarin fish, fat head, herring, and silver carp?

No, he no longer wants to eat pickles or vegetables, he wants to eat fish.

He said he brought Liu Hu to take a bath, but in fact Liu Chen had another goal. He wanted to take Liu Hu to catch fish. He didn't dare to catch it. The Huaihe River was a collective, and it was for cutting off the tail. He might as well forget it. But if you are a stupid person, no one will say anything.

The fish smells bad, and it is very unpalatable without condiments. In this era, we can’t even afford food, so we still need to buy condiments. Not everyone can afford oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

Liu Hu took off his pants and dove into the river.

Living near a river, everyone can basically swim. No matter how bad it is, the dog will always crawl.

Liu Chen also took off his clothes, threw them on the shore, and suddenly fell down.

The water in the river was cool and comfortable. Liu Chen split his arms and moved forward, rolling up and down, left and right, rising to the surface and sinking again. He got up and down like a fish, playing happily in the water. Then Liu Chen

Then he kicked his legs back, moved his hands outward, and swam outward like a frog.

Cool!

It’s so cool!

Watching the fish swimming freely around him, he tried to catch it several times, but he couldn't catch it. Sometimes the fish would run away after he caught it. It would be great if there was a fishing net. These are all wild fish.

, what a supplement.

He knew that this was the Huaihe River. In later generations, the aquatic products in the Huaihe River were very rich, with many fish, shrimps, crabs and mussels. There were dozens of species of fish alone. In this era, everyone was working and very few people ate fish.

The fish in the river have not been overfished, and they reproduce quickly and in large numbers. Nowadays, everyone only thinks about eating enough, and they don’t think about the nutrition of the food at all. Although the nutritional value of this fish is very high, there are still very few people catching it.

Liu Chen wanted to catch fish several times. On the one hand, he suffered from the lack of tools. Catching fish with bare hands was not his strong point and he didn't know how to do it. Also, he still didn't dare to catch fish blatantly. The Huaihe River belonged to the public, so this was a big deal.

Cutting off the tail. This is not a joke. If someone reports you and the criticism is small, you might lose your head. You can't just give back the life you finally saved.

"Liu Chen, do you see what I caught?"

I saw Huzi standing in the shallow water near the shore, holding a very big fish, weighing more than ten kilograms.

Liu Chen swam over quickly and saw Huzi holding a yellow-green fish with a gray-white belly and dark brown sides in his arms. At this glance, he knew it was Jihuayu.

"Wow, such a big fish."

Liu Chen said as he prepared to catch the fish. The fish quickly turned over. Liu Chen's hand slipped and the big fish fell into the water again.

"The fish is running, the fish is running."

Hearing Liu Chen shouting, Huzi stepped up and kicked, causing water to splash everywhere. He quickly bent down and grabbed it with his hands, but it was empty. The river water that was clear just now was now muddy.

Such a big fish disappeared in just a blink of an eye. Liu Chen became upset because the "duck" that reached his mouth flew away because he had not caught it just now.

This fish is very powerful in the water. It is impossible to catch such a big fish in such deep water. He looked gloomy and felt very discouraged.

Liu Hu suddenly swam down.

The river water became more turbid and rippled randomly. The tiger was still missing, and Liu Chen was a little confused. It would be okay if he couldn't catch the fish, but nothing could happen to him.

"Come up quickly, forget it if you can't catch it."

Not long after, I saw Liu Hu slowly swimming out of the water, holding the big fish in his arms.

I don’t know how Liu Hu was caught. He was really capable, so Liu Chenmeng surrounded him.

"We can't let him run away now, it's going to be hard to catch."

Liu Chen was very excited when he saw the big fish in Liu Hu's arms.

When it comes to seasoned fish, Liu Chen eats it all the time. The nutritional value of seasoned fish is very high. It is sold in restaurants at home, but they are all farmed. This is wild and has extremely high nutritional value. Seasoned fish is omnivorous.

It has strong adaptability, tender meat, and delicious taste. It has the effect of replenishing deficiency and fatigue, and replenishing the spleen and stomach. Its tail can cure fire boils in children, and fish gallbladder can cure fish bones stuck in the throat.

Liu Chen smiled and said: "Huzi, you are so awesome, you can also catch this fish."

For Liu Hu, what does this mean? He has grown up by the river since he was a child, and his ability to catch fish is not to mention.

Although he eats Baijia rice, Baijia rice is not that delicious. There are no shortage of eye rolls, cynicism, and sarcasm. Every household does not have enough to eat, so it would be nice to give him something to eat. He is so

The older boy naturally has a bigger appetite and is sure to be hungry all the time, so he would go to the river to catch fish to eat. Because he was not very smart, everyone turned a blind eye.

Besides, not many people eat fish these days. The main reason is that it requires condiments. Without condiments, the fish smells bad, so people eat less.

Liu Chen thought, this fish must be taken home to eat, steamed, braised, sliced, or made into soup, any method would be perfect. Thinking about it makes his mouth water. He doesn’t want to eat the corn buns that irritate his throat anymore, he wants

Eat fish.

"Huzi, hold on, don't let it run away."

"Okay, it can't run away. I'm experienced in catching this kind of fish."

This fish has delicious meat, few spines, and is easy to eat, so Liu Hu likes to catch this kind of fish. But usually the fish he catches are small ones of three to two kilograms. Today, it was the first time he caught such a big one.

The two people worked together to get the fish to the shore, and the two people looked at each other.

The big fish weighing more than ten kilograms was rolling and flopping on the shore.

Liu Chen gave Liu Hu a thumbs up and said, "Good job."

Liu Hu knew that he had made a contribution and said with a smile: "This fish is for you to eat. I usually eat less, so you can eat this."

Liu Chen was very moved when he heard that Liu Hu was going to give the fish to him. He had never eaten fish since he came here, and he rarely ate meat. He only had whole grains and porridge all day long. Although in later generations, people would buy them specially.

Eating whole grains, at that time it was finely processed, but in later generations it was roughly processed. Cornmeal and steamed buns made my throat sore, and these days it was difficult to eat and go to the toilet.

Liu Chen was not a person who took advantage. He couldn't let Liu Hu's efforts go to waste, so he took out 20 cents and gave it to Liu Hu.

When Liu Hu saw the two cents, his eyes straightened.

When did Liu Hu see so much money? This was a huge amount of money for him. The most he usually took was just a few cents, and this was only twenty cents. He didn’t understand, so he just grabbed it casually.

How can a fish be worth so much money?

Huzi took the money, smiled, looked at the big fish and said: "I will catch whatever fish you want to eat in the future."

He has been catching fish for so many years, but he really didn't expect that the fish could be exchanged for money, and that it could be exchanged for so much money.

Liu Chen saw Huzi so happy, and he was also very happy. If this fish were left in future generations, it would be worth hundreds of dollars.

In his previous life, he followed his father and fished Jihuayu several times. He knew that the current market price of Jihuayu for breeding was more than forty yuan per catty. A fish of five kilograms cost two hundred yuan, not to mention that this fish was ten yuan.
