Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 286: A bumper harvest of fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles in Dayue River
As they were talking, Gu Qingzhi and his group arrived at the river bank, where servants were carrying water back and forth from the river to water the vegetable fields.
Gu Qingzhi looked into the river and found that the river bank was quite high.
This is good. At least during the flood season, the vegetable field is not easily flooded because it is so high.
But there is also a disadvantage, which is that it will be a bit harder for the servants to carry water up.
But it seems that these people are working happily and in good spirits.
She looked at Dayue River curiously and asked, "Uncle Gu, are there fish in this river?"
Uncle Gu shook his head, then nodded: "Madam, there are fish, but the river here is fast and deep, it is not easy to catch fish here."
He glanced at the servants here and said: "Madam, are you asking this? Could it be that you want to go down to the river to catch fish?
It's a pity that the few people who can catch fish today followed you up the mountain to hunt."
Gu Qingzhi's mind moved, but she smiled and said nothing: "Let's go down and take a look!"
She was very curious about what kind of fish there were in the river. It would be nice if she could catch some for everyone to eat; after all, it would be meat.
The people in the village had lived such a hard life before, and she was really afraid that they would not be able to survive the winter. Wouldn’t it be a loss for her to hire so many people?
Seeing that she insisted on going down, Uncle Gu had no choice but to go down with Madam Qin.
Uncle Gu glanced at the servants who were carrying water back and forth and reminded them, "Be careful and alert. Don't fall into the river!"
But what he was thinking about in his heart was the safety of the lady.
Don't be afraid if anything happens, there are so many people here, they will definitely protect the lady.
Gu Qingzhi was deeply moved when she saw Uncle Gu and Aunt Qin following her closely, one on each side.
I didn't expect that they would protect her so much after just a few days of getting along. It seems that one must treat others with sincerity.
Gu Qingzhi came to the river and after walking around it, she had a rough idea of what was going on.
The river here is indeed quite deep and the flow is indeed quite fast, but there are also some aquatic plants on the river bank.
She thought about it, walked to the river, squatted down and washed her hands.
Uncle Gu was very nervous, but Gu Qingzhi suddenly pointed at the water plants near her and said, "Uncle Gu, look, is there anything moving in the water plants?"
Uncle Gu quickly looked towards the water plants and saw a black shadow. It seemed that there was really something there!
Aunt Qin said with a sharp eye: "Oh, Lao Gu, it's a big fish, go over and catch it quickly!"
The two men saw a big fish, which was a rare sight, and their eyes lit up.
They were very excited when they finally caught the grass carp weighing four or five kilograms after struggling for a long time.
When he turned around and saw five or six fish behind Gu Qingzhi, he was stunned for a moment.
Gu Qingzhi was seen holding a large black fish weighing about seven or eight kilograms in her hand, and was about to throw it back.
Seeing the two people staring at her in amazement, her almond eyes dimmed slightly. She stood up as if nothing had happened and patted her clothes.
"These fish are not difficult to catch, they just scurried towards my hands.
Uncle Gu, find something to pack up these fish, I'll go check it out."
She just saw a shallow area in front of her with a lot of aquatic plants, and wondered if there would be small river shrimps or something.
"Auntie Qin, shall we go to the front and see if there are any river shrimps?"
Aunt Qin was about to say that there probably weren't any, but looking at the pile of big fish on the ground, she remained silent.
Sure enough, not long after, Gu Qingzhi found three or four nests of river shrimps.
Aunt Qin didn't believe it, so she went up and turned over the stones herself. She turned over four or five stones in a row, but of course she didn't find anything.
Gu Qingzhi pretended not to see it, but looked at the water plants thoughtfully: "If there are fish baskets, the terrain here can place some fish baskets."
Aunt Qin's attention was immediately drawn away. "Madam, what is a fish basket?"
"A fish basket, as the name suggests, is a basket for catching fish.
It has a small basket in its mouth, and big fish and shrimps can hardly get out once they get in.
I see there are a lot of aquatic plants here, it's a good place to put the fish basket."
They walked forward together again.
"Wow! So many fish!" Gu Qingzhi shouted excitedly as she looked at the fish swimming in the water.
"Yes, the river water is crystal clear, and there must be a lot of delicious fish and shrimp in it." Aunt Qin also said happily.
Gu Qingzhi quickly reached her hand into the water and soon pulled out a lively green carp and a few small shrimps.
"Haha, these fish and shrimps look so plump!" she laughed happily.
Just then, a big crab crawled out from between the rocks.
Gu Qingzhi's eyes lit up and she quickly reached out to grab it.
"Oh my, I didn't expect there are crabs here!" She exclaimed in surprise, "It's just right for me to cook a pot of delicious crab porridge tonight."
Aunt Qin smiled and responded, "Okay!"
When Uncle Gu came over with the wooden barrel, Gu Qingzhi had already caught many fish and shrimps.
Although the sun was shining, the river water was still freezing cold in winter.
Uncle Gu put the fish and shrimp into the bucket and exclaimed, "Madam, you are really amazing!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone catch so many fish and shrimp in such a short time!”
Gu Qingzhi smiled modestly: "It's just good luck."
She thought to herself that if she had a fishing net, she should be able to catch more fish.
After all, her brother had taught her how to cast the net, and with her good luck, there shouldn't be any big problems.
This river is so wide and deep, and few people fish here on weekdays, so there must be a lot of fish in the river.
"Uncle Gu, do we have fishing nets in our village?"
Uncle Gu thought for a moment and replied, “There should be a fishing net.
Madam, do you want to catch fish with a net?"
"Yes, can you go and get one? And ask a few people who know how to swim to help." Gu Qingzhi said.
Uncle Gu nodded without hesitation: "Okay, madam, please wait a moment. I will go back to the farm to get the fishing nets."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Gu Qingzhi continued to walk and stop along the river bank, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, looking for prey hidden in the water or on the shore.
Her movements were light and agile, and every time she caught a fat crab, she accurately caught it.
These crabs are in their plump season now, their shells are hard and smooth, and their meat is delicious.
Not only that, Gu Qingzhi also accidentally picked up an old turtle among the dense aquatic plants.
When Aunt Qin saw this, she immediately became excited, her face filled with joy, she was even happier than if she had picked up the money herself.
She exclaimed: "This old turtle must have lived for hundreds of years!"
Gu Qingzhi clicked his tongue twice to show his agreement.
She thought that such a big turtle would surely fetch a considerable sum of money, which she could then invest in the farm and use to build houses, so that everyone would not have to live together in such a crowded way.
Thinking of this, she felt even happier.
