"Brother Xiaoyun, why don't you ask the excavator master to clean the mud in this fish pond again?
This fish pond has been abandoned for several years. There are few fish in it and there is probably a bit too much silt. "Chen Xiaohu suggested while looking at the fish pond.
After taking a look at this five- to six-acre fish pond, I found that it had indeed been abandoned for a long time, and there were no fish or fish in it.
"Okay, let's release the water, clean the mud, and rebuild it again." Chen Xiaoyun nodded.
Then the two of them went to the drainage outlet and opened the drainage outlet to let out water.
There were probably not many fish in the fish pond, so Chen Xiaoyun didn't care about it. They were probably mostly miscellaneous fish, so he just opened the drain and let it drain out slowly.
Today was so busy that the two of them did not go fishing, but helped build a chicken coop.
It took a whole afternoon of work to build the foundation, and this was with the help of an excavator.
Because we are building a chicken coop, there are not as many quality requirements as building a house.
Chen Xiaoyun chose to build a chicken coop with a brick and tile structure. If it was not built more firmly near the sea, it would be blown down by a typhoon in the summer.
The brick wall is two meters high, and the remaining meter is installed with wire mesh for ventilation and to prevent wild cats and eagles.
Second Mistress also invited several elderly people from the village to help make dinner.
A total of two large tables of dishes were cooked, which cannot be said to be very rich.
But it’s not bad either, fried pork, mushroom stewed chicken, pork ribs, steamed freshwater bass, fried water spinach, lettuce, beer duck...
"Xiao Yun, this young boy, has grown so big in the blink of an eye."
"I must have made a lot of money outside these years."
"Are you talking about your wife?"
At the dinner table, the old people in the village pulled Chen Xiaoyun around to ask questions.
Chen Xiaoyun had to deal with them one by one. After all, they were all his uncles and grandparents.
After dinner, everyone enjoyed the cool air and chatted in the yard of Grandpa Er’s house.
"Hey, there are not many young people left in the village now. They have all run away." An old man sighed.
His grandson and son have both found jobs outside and said they would take him to the city to enjoy the blessings, but it was difficult to leave his homeland.
Old people generally don't want to leave their hometown, so they stay.
The old people are talking about the past and recalling the glory of the past.
Chen Xiaohu is now asking Chen Xiaoyun to watch the video he took last night.
"Brother Xiaoyun, look, the video I took of you cooking food last night has more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of thousands of views."
"And this, the video of you catching sea bass now has nearly one million views and tens of thousands of likes." Chen Xiaohu was very happy.
In the past few days, his number of fans has exceeded 3,000, and he is heading towards the 4,000 mark.
And these changes all come from Chen Xiaoyun, his eldest cousin.
"Not bad!" Chen Xiaoyun looked at it and nodded.
"How about, Brother Xiaoyun, you can also make a video. Anyway, just post it casually. If it becomes popular, you can earn money if the video is played a lot." Chen Xiaohu suggested.
He felt that his cousin was somewhat lucky. What if the video he posted became popular?
"Okay!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiaoyun nodded. Anyway, to make videos, just shoot some videos and post them.
He doesn't like live broadcasts, so he can take some videos for fun.
"Then you go to my Kuaiyin first and repost these two videos. I see that you don't have any works in your Kuaiyin." Chen Xiaohu said quickly.
"Okay, I'll forward it to your Kuaiyin." Chen Xiaoyun opened Kuaiyin and changed his name to Xiaoyao Fisherman.
Then I retweeted these two videos, one was a video of cooking delicious food last night, frying eels and frogs.
One is a video of him fishing for sea bass that day.
After forwarding it, I didn’t bother to check it again. It was just for fun anyway.
Before going to bed, Chen Xiaoyun took a look at the drainage situation in the fish pond.
About one-third of the water in the fish pond has been filled, and it looks like it will be drained tomorrow.
"There is indeed a lot of mud."
There is too much silt in the fish pond, so it cannot hold much water.
In order to save materials and equipment, Chen Xiaoyun set up a simple tent under the lychee tree in the yard and slept in it at night.
…
The next day, I woke up at six in the morning and drank spiritual spring water to practice.
Regardless of whether he could achieve anything through cultivation, Chen Xiaoyun persisted.
After seven o'clock, the decoration team arrived and started working.
Chen Xiaoyun came to the second grandfather's house and had pork stewed with rice noodles for breakfast.
After everyone had breakfast, they started working on building a chicken coop.
"Brother Xiaoyun, it looks like the water in the fish pond will be almost empty around noon."
Chen Xiaohu said while looking at two-thirds of the fish pond below the water.
Some freshwater river prawns as big as a little finger can already be seen on the shore.
From time to time, you can also see fish diving into the water.
"Don't worry about it for now. Come and help pass the bricks. I'll go down and catch some shrimps and fry them later."
Chen Xiaohu also helped by mixing cement and sand.
With more people and greater strength, less than half of a chicken coop was built in one morning.
…
Around ten o'clock, the sun was getting very hot, so Chen Xiaoyun asked the second grandfather to stop doing it, go back and rest, and come back in the afternoon.
They are all elderly people in their 40s, 50s, 50s and 60s. If they show off their good deeds, they won't be able to live with them.
"Go get a bucket and catch some shrimps to eat." Chen Xiaoyun shouted to Chen Xiaohu.
There are quite a lot of wild river shrimps the size of little fingers in the fish pond. Many river shrimps are crawling on the edge of the water, motionless.
Chen Xiaohu ran back, took the net, and came with the bucket.
Now the water in the fish pond has almost bottomed out, and a few big fish can be vaguely seen swimming.
There are quite a few tilapias, after all, tilapias are rampant in Nanguang Province.
"Bring me the net!"
Chen Xiaoyun took the fishing net and went to the river shrimp net next to it.
Chen Xiaohu had already started the live broadcast: "Family, this is the fish pond rented by my brother. Now the water is released to clear out the silt. The water is almost empty. Let's go down and catch some wild river shrimps to eat."
In the live broadcast room, there are hundreds of water friends watching the live broadcast.
Once the net went down, a dozen river shrimps as big as little thumbs were caught.
Chen Xiaoyun shouted: "Bring me the bucket!"
Chen Xiaohu handed the bucket to Chen Xiaoyun and also got into the water.
"Family members, look, there are a lot of these wild river shrimps, the size of a little finger. They are deep-fried until golden brown, crispy and delicious. The kids next door are crying with envy."
"This is really a wild pond. In addition to more river shrimps, there are also more wild tilapias." A water friend said in the live broadcast room.
"Hey, this tilapia is big. I caught it and braised it for lunch today." Chen Xiaohu saw a large tilapia swimming through the water and excitedly stepped forward to catch it.
It's a pity that this tilapia is ferocious and full of energy. With a strong impact, it swam to Chen Xiaoyun's feet.
Then he was scooped up by Chen Xiaoyun.
"Beautiful, such a big wild tilapia, it is estimated to be nearly two kilograms. Look at the scales, they are very good." Chen Xiaohu hurriedly came over and pointed the camera at the tilapia.
"Anchor 666, the photographer is so useless, he can't even catch a fish."
"Not to mention, this kind of wild river shrimp is really good, fried and very fragrant."
"When I was young, there was a fish pond in the village. Every time the fish pond was released to catch fish, I would go to the fish pond to catch small fish and shrimps. I miss that time very much."
"Brother Xiaoyun, you can also catch some of these wild fish and fry them."
Looking at the water, there are many wild fish like wheat fish, all as big as a little finger.
The longest one is only as long as the middle finger, and they are densely packed on the water.
The meat of this kind of miscellaneous fish is tender, fried and crispy, very fragrant and delicious.
"Okay, take some back!" Chen Xiaoyun nodded.
After a while, Chen Xiaoyun used a fishing net to catch half a bucket of wild river shrimp and wild fish.
Then I caught another tilapia weighing about two kilograms, and then I went ashore and left.
"There are probably a lot of tilapias in there. You can catch them and sell them in the town." Chen Xiaohu said to Chen Xiaoyun.
"I'll ask after lunch. Contact the fish store that collects freshwater tilapia and ask them to collect it. Tilapia is not very valuable, so why waste time selling it." Chen Xiaoyun didn't care.
Anyway, the tilapia in it weighs hundreds or even thousands of kilograms at most.
If sold at wholesale price, it would probably be only five or six yuan per pound.
Chen Xiaoyun also took a look and estimated that there were some silver carp and bighead carp inside.
There are also many other small miscellaneous fish, and there are also many field snails.
After all, it is a wild pond that no one has managed. It has been there for several years. It is already very good to still have so many fish in it.
Now the water in the fish pond is only as deep as the knees and cannot be drained out.
When the fish harvester comes in the afternoon, he borrows a trawl net and catches them all in one net.
Today I added three dishes for lunch, braised tilapia, fried wild river shrimp, and fried small fish.
Tilapia has few bones, tender meat, and is affordable, so it is actually very popular.
And the big wild tilapia like this one is even better. Braised in braised sauce, it’s very flavorful and delicious.
"Yes, this kind of wild river shrimp is delicious when fried." Chen Xiaohu gushed.
