The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Moubai suddenly remembered that he wanted to eat fish during the Chinese New Year, which symbolizes abundance and good luck every year.
As a hawker all year round, a certain Jiao cannot ignore the customs related to money. As a hawker, of course, he hopes for good luck and good fortune every year. In fact, eating fish during the New Year is a custom in many places, each with its own characteristics, such as fish in some places. The placement is also particular.
The head of the fish is pointed towards the distinguished guests or elders to show respect. The belly is towards the scholar, praising him for having ink in his belly and full of articles. The spine is towards the general, praising him for his bravery and invincibility, which can be used as a backbone.
For Bai Yujun, the most useful thing about fish is that it is delicious and nutritious.
I took out the fishing rod and dug out a bunch of earthworms from the soil to use as bait. I took the bench fish basket and went out in a daze. I had no choice but to do it. It had been cold recently and I didn't use magic, which made me drowsy...
Going down the mountain and passing by a small earth cave, I didn't see the two little girls, but I saw glutinous rice balls and snacks hidden under the straw.
When I came to the river, I saw my sister fishing for snails in the water again. My sister squatted on the bank and put snails in small baskets made of weeds. Apparently she planned to store food for the winter.
We are small, have no strength and no one cares about us. The only thing we can find to eat is snails, at least we can survive.
The elder sister looked up at Bai Yujun and continued to touch the mud.
She is quite stubborn. The little girl made Bai Yujun look at her with admiration. She has a feeling that you are busy while I continue to touch the snails. She does not ask for help and works hard to survive. She is not like a Central Plains person but more like a small beast in the Southern Wilderness Mountains.
Take out the bench and sit down, hang the bait, swing the rod and wait for the fish to take the bait.
The picture is quite interesting. One is fishing in deep water and the other is digging for food in the mud in the shallows. Both parties are looking for food. They are silent as if they don't know each other at all. It's not bad. At least the little girl is not scared away by the monster.
Bai Yujun smiled...
Maybe it was because I often fished in the nearby water that there weren’t many snails in the shallow water. It took me a long time to fish out just a few.
The buoy is shaking and sinking!
Get up~! When you lift it hard, the slender fishing rod feels powerful and vibrating! There's drama!
Water splashed in all directions, and a three-pound carp was pulled out of the water. The silk spun out by the Southern Wilderness silkworm demon was extremely tough, and the fishhook was far superior to modern times. The bamboo fishing rod was pressed into a curved bow shape as the carp struggled. Trembling, the little hands skillfully pick off the hook and throw it into the fish basket and put it into the water to keep it alive and fresh. It is purely wild and natural green food.
On the other side, the girl who braved the cold water to touch the snails was stunned and was surprised by the big carp.
I went fishing again. There was no fishing net or electric fish device in the river. The fishing tools were simple and crude. It was not surprising to catch a big carp in the small river.
The girl was a little discouraged, and the smile on Bai Yujun's lips became more obvious.
Not long after, I caught a crucian carp. Eating crucian carp during the Chinese New Year symbolizes good luck. If paired with carp, it will bring good luck.
Then another carp...
My sister simply went ashore and watched in a daze, swallowing her saliva from time to time.
Feeling that it was almost done, he deliberately knocked over the jar filled with earthworms and spoke to the two girls.
"Come here and help me pack the earthworms."
The girl hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Okay~"
The elder sister led her younger sister to Bai Yujun, not forgetting to bring the few snails in the basket. She bent down and squatted on the ground to carefully catch the earthworms crawling around and put them back into the jar. Four little hands worked together and quickly packed them, two pairs. They stared at the carp flapping in the fish basket and swallowed their saliva. They knew the fish was delicious, but they didn't know how to cook it. Last time, they only smelled the aroma of stewed fish from afar.
When the fishhook was lifted, the bait was eaten by the fish without biting the hook.
"Give me an earthworm."
Bai Yujun handed over a piece with his little hand, which was a bit big. Bai Yujun pinched off a part of the hook and used it as bait, and threw the rest directly into the water to feed the fish.
Swinging the pole, waiting quietly, one big, two small, three pairs of eyes stared blankly at the buoy...
I didn't wait too long, the buoy moved, and the buoy suddenly went up and down, and finally sank into the water suddenly. The hook was definitely bitten!
"Fish! There is a fish!" my sister shouted.
Bai Yujun found the feeling again with a slight lift. He pulled up a big carp very easily and happily. The feeling of heavy tail swinging around was very wonderful, especially the resistance at the moment when it came out of the water. No wonder so many people like fishing.
The two children yelled and picked the carp and threw it into the fish basket. They were as happy as if they had caught a big carp.
I caught two more crucian carp, put away the fishing basket and stuffed the fishing rod into the girl's arms. She stretched out her hand and waved towards the shallows. Many big and fat snails flew out of the water and flew into the grass basket...
"You helped me. I want to treat you two to carp and bring the snails. You don't know how to make delicious snails."
Carry the fish basket and lead the way.
The elder sister stayed for a while and seemed to make up her mind. She grabbed the fishing rod with one hand and pulled her younger sister with the other to catch up with Bai Bai. As he walked, he looked up to see this mysterious and kind-hearted monster.
Bai Yujun raised the corners of his lips, thinking that this year and a half might be interesting.
I didn’t ask the two children where anyone else in the family was from. It was all nonsense. It didn’t look like they still had family at all. As for their hometown, it was even more meaningless. I guess the hometown in my memory was not as friendly as the cave on the hillside. Xiao An walked quietly and slowly.
From time to time, my sister looked up at the tall figure in front of her.
In her eyes, Bai Yujun was very tall, even taller than those bearded bad guys.
It is very fragrant. You can smell a special fragrance when you follow it. It is a bit like the fragrance of spring flowers and plants. It is fragrant and fragrant. What you feel more is a sense of security, which is very, very safe.
Rarely, the dark clouds in the sky parted to reveal the warm sunshine, which warmed my body and made my feet no longer cold when walking.
Push open the fence door and pour the fish into the wooden barrel to keep it fresh.
Entering the house, the two girls felt warm for the first time, as if the thatched house was another world. The big soft bed attracted big eyes to look at, the scent of the desserts left on the table beside the bed was tangy, and the thick cotton clothes on the hangers looked very warm, dazzling and seasoned. Tasting pots and pans, the house is small but looks like a place where gods live...
Cast a spell to fill the tub with water, heat it, prepare soap and a soft white towel.
"You must be hygienic when eating. The water is hot. You two go in and take a shower before eating. Eat this before taking a shower."
Put two pills into the little hand.
"What medicine..."
"It's a deworming medicine specially designed for children. Eating so many raw snails and unclean food is not good for your health. Take it and take a bath. I'll treat you two to pickled fish."
Take out the newly purchased coarse cloth.
I quickly took apart a set of cotton-padded clothes I was wearing and changed them into two small cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and sewed a new coat.
The girl took the pill after hesitating for a while, then took off her dirty and tattered clothes and got into the bathtub to take a bath. The warm water made the two children feel very comfortable. They soon let down their guard and while soaking in the bath, they lay on the edge of the bathtub and watched the monsters making clothes. .
Bai Yujun quickly prepared two sets of clothes and placed them beside the tub. Bai Yujun went to the stove to light a fire and chop the seasonings. When cooking, she took off the cloth on her head because it was troublesome, revealing two snow-white dragon horns.
"Why do you need to take a shower..."
"Because the meat tastes better after it's been washed, and it's easier to cook."
My sister was so frightened that she was completely stunned.
"Don't be afraid, just kidding. Hygiene is very important. Besides, taking a bath before the year can wash away bad luck will make things better in the coming year. Wipe your body with soap to make it cleaner. The round thing is the soap."
In the bathtub, the older sister picked up the soap and rubbed it hard on herself and her sister, as if she wanted to wash away the bad luck...
