Gao Mingcheng was in a good mood these days. Not only did he eat his wife's tender tofu, but he also ate real water tofu.
Many beauties can make tofu. To be precise, all the women in their village can basically make tofu.
Not only tofu, but also boiling brown sugar, frying rice crackers, making rice candy, making rice dumplings, making rice crackers, etc. are all skills that women can do. During the holidays, do the children at home have enough snacks to eat? It just depends on whether the housewife in that house is clever or not.
Many beauties are tofu dotted with gypsum, which makes the tofu tender. She squeezed out the water from the tofu and divided it into five portions of different sizes.
They didn't have a stone mill at home yet, so they borrowed the stone mill from Grandma Xi's house to grind the soybeans. After finishing the grinding, they gave two large pieces of tofu to Grandma Xi's house, another piece to their second sister, and another to Grandma Xi's house. Gao Mingcheng's parents gave one portion, and finally she had to give one portion to her master Dong Feixia, and the rest was kept for herself.
The vegetables in the fields have not grown yet, so it is the time when there is a shortage of vegetables.
Duomei fried a plate of tofu and added some dried chili peppers and garlic leaves. The taste was so delicious!
"The water in this well is good, and the tofu is really delicious! Mingcheng, eat more!" Many beauties smiled and served Gao Mingcheng some food.
Gao Mingcheng ate with big mouthfuls, appreciating someone's good cooking skills, that is, eating delicious food in front of her!
I had just finished a bowl of rice when I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the yard.
"Gao Mingcheng! There are fish in the reservoir, are you going to catch them?" Outside the door, there were Gao Liang and Gao Zhuang.
The two of them were wearing bamboo hats and a strange-shaped cloak, and they were holding a bucket in their hands.
"Brother Mingcheng, you live here, closest to the big reservoir. Why aren't you the first to catch fish? We just saw Gao Dacai's family bring a big bucket of fish back to the village, and you quickly got the bucket. Let’s go together!” Gao Zhuang urged Gao Mingcheng, fearing that if he went late, the fish would be caught by others.
When it rains and the water rises in spring, there will be a lot of fish in large reservoirs and small ditches. Under normal circumstances, it is better to catch them on rainy days.
It's raining today, so Gao Mingcheng hasn't gone out yet.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the strange cloaks on the two of them and couldn't help but want to laugh.
That is to cut the fertilizer bag, then sew the two bags together, and then sew a rope on the top to make a simple poncho.
Before there were fertilizer bags, some people in their village would weave coir raincoats from palm bark. They could also weave straw, but straw was not as strong and easy to use as brown bark.
It's just that, for the sake of convenience and portability, today's young people just turn fertilizer bags into ponchos.
But Gao Mingcheng did not have such a simple poncho, nor did he have a raincoat. He only had an umbrella and a bamboo hat at home.
He lifted a bucket with one hand, took off the bamboo hat hanging on the wall with the other, put it on his head and went out.
Gao Zhuang couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Mingcheng, you will still get wet from the rain if you wait like this."
To catch fish, you have to bend down and go into the water to catch it. It's raining, and if you don't need a poncho to protect you from the rain, your clothes will get completely wet.
Many beauties didn't want Gao Mingcheng to get his clothes wet, so he said, "Go find someone to borrow a raincoat! It's still very cold now, and you will definitely get sick if you get wet."
Gao Mingcheng did not agree to borrow the coir raincoat.
When the water rises in spring, it is the time for people in the village to revel. It is estimated that after a while, people from every household will go to the water to catch fish.
I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow a coir raincoat at this time.
Gao Mingcheng is in good health and is not afraid of the rain.
He didn't say anything to Duo Meiduo, and walked directly towards the large reservoir with Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang.
Many beauties stood under the eaves, their faces flushed with anger.
In addition to being angry with Gao Mingcheng for not listening to her, she was also angry with herself for not preparing anything for Gao Mingcheng in advance. She cleaned up the kitchen, heated up a large pot of hot water, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, trying to find something that could be used. Materials for making ponchos.
But there were not many things at home, and she really couldn't find anything suitable, so Duomei held an umbrella and went to her master Dong Feixia's house.
Dong Feixia's house has a whole room full of fabrics, leathers and leftover materials. If you go to her house and look for them, you will definitely be able to find them.
By this time, Gao Mingcheng and the others had already arrived at the large reservoir.
As the spring rain falls one after another, the water surface of the reservoir is already about 12 to 13 acres wide. After a few more rains, it will rise to 17 acres wide.
There are fish in the reservoir and the ditch connected to the reservoir.
These fish are wild species, and most of them do not grow very large, mostly crucian carp.
When the three of them arrived, there were already other people in the reservoir, all wearing bamboo hats, raincoats or fertilizer bags, bending over to catch fish.
There were conversations from time to time. Some people expressed surprise that they had caught a lot of fish, while others went to look for them elsewhere because there were not many fish.
Gao Mingcheng and the other three did not speak, but began to disperse in a tacit understanding, each catching fish.
This season is the best time of the year to catch fish. As long as you are not lazy, everyone can catch fish weighing several kilograms or dozens of kilograms.
Those who are hardworking and willing to work can catch hundreds of catties.
Naturally, there are so many fish that you can't finish them all in a while, but crucian carp is easy to raise and can live for a while. You can also slaughter the fresh fish, put it into a large iron pot, and slowly dry it over low heat.
The dried fish can be put away and eaten slowly.
Gao Mingcheng is a good fish catcher and has rich experience. He quickly found a place with many fish and started to bend down to catch them.
As soon as he bent over, his back was completely soaked by the rain. As his clothes gradually got soaked, his body felt cold and wet.
But he could tolerate this level of cold and wet.
He ignored his physical discomfort and focused all his attention on catching fish. He kept making fish-catching movements with both hands. Every time he failed to catch fish, one fish came out of the wide reservoir. , moved to a small bucket, and the living space became increasingly narrow, because Gao Mingcheng quickly harvested a large bucket full of fish.
He straightened up and walked home with the bucket in hand.
When passing by Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang, he said, "I'll go back first."
Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang both knew that he was good at catching fish, but they never expected that he could catch fish so fast!
The two looked at each other and said "fuck" in unison.
Gao Mingcheng carried a bucket full of fish and walked quickly towards his home.
At this time, he has an advantage over others because his home is closest to the big reservoir!
After returning home, he didn't see much beauty, and Gao Mingcheng didn't care. He took out a big bathtub, poured all the fish into the bathtub, and poured a bucket of water into it.
Immediately afterwards, he simply went out carrying two buckets.
Seeing that he returned quickly and was carrying two buckets, Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Feeling a sense of urgency in their hearts, the two lowered their heads and tried their best to catch the fish.
However, although there are many fish, it is not something you can catch just by reaching out and catching them. Moreover, the weather is still a bit cold and rainy. If you catch fish outdoors for a long time, your body will not be able to bear it.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't have this worry. He happily caught the fish and was even in the mood to pick and choose the fish. If the fish was too small, he wouldn't bother to catch it!
I happen to have tofu at home, so I decided to make a crucian carp stewed with tofu for dinner!
Well, I have to pick some bigger crucian carp!
