After planting the rice seedlings, Lin Dashan had been thinking about raising fish in the rice fields. As soon as he told Jiang Tao about it, Jiang Tao immediately agreed to raise fish with them.For Lin Dashan and his wife, Jiang Tao is very trustworthy.However, I had never heard of anyone raising fish, and it was hard to find fish fry. Lin Dashan went to Zhengli Jianghai's house to ask where he could buy fish fry.

They just got married a few days ago, but Gu Qiu didn't realize it. After a few days, he realized that he didn't have any chickens or pigs in his family.There is no farmer who doesn't raise chickens and pigs. Gu Qiu can't sit still when he thinks about it.

Thinking that there are chicken cubs in the village, and it can be cheaper, I asked Jin Yun, the widow Zhang's house in the village hatched chicken cubs two days ago, so Gu Qiu went to Zhang's house with some money.

This widow's name is Zhang Xiaoyun, and he was married from Zhangjiazhuang. His mother's family was very poor, and his father was a gambler. He was so poor that he couldn't solve the problem, so he gave his elder brother to Jiang Youfu in the village, and exchanged a few shillings for the dowry.

Jiang Youfu was an honest man, and the two of them had a good life at first, but it was a pity that they had been together for more than a year, and Jiang Youfu fell down from the mountain and died.Zhang Youfu also has no father or father, leaving Zhang Xiaoyun alone without a child.Zhang Xiaoyun also refused to go back to her natal family, so she raised some chickens and pigs, and did embroidery work to earn money for herself.

Gu Qiu arrived at Zhang Xiaoyun's house. The Zhang family's house was not small but very dilapidated, with a dozen or so chickens raised in the yard.Gu Qiu knocked on the door, but the people inside didn't open the door, they just asked, "Who is it?"

Gu Qiu thought that it is not easy for a widow to be a man, and strangers cannot open the door at will, so he reported his name.The people inside opened the door and greeted them warmly.Gu Qiu saw that he was a very handsome little brother with a very gentle appearance.

Gu Qiu told him why he came, and Zhang Xiaoyun immediately agreed with a smile, and picked out eight very lively chicks for Gu Qiu. Gu Qiu gave him the money according to the market price, but Zhang Xiaoyun still refused to accept it. Qiu insisted on keeping the money, and Zhang Xiaoyun forced him to stuff another egg.

Gu Qiu originally had some sympathy for Zhang Xiaoyun, but seeing that Zhang Xiaoyun's character and appearance are so good, he couldn't help feeling a little closer.Thinking that the two families are also neighbors, they need to help each other more in the future.

There was already a chicken coop at home, so Gu Qiu didn't need to bother, just put the chicks into the chicken coop, and chopped some vegetable leaves to feed them.

When Lin Dashan came back from Zhengli's house, he saw some bright yellow chickens suddenly appeared in his yard, so he asked about it.Gu Qiu told Lin Dashan about going to Zhang Xiaoyun's house to buy chicken cubs today, Lin Dashan nodded, "Brother Zhang is a good person, and we can help each other in the future."

"By the way, what happened to the fish fry?" Gu Qiu asked.

Lin Dashan showed a smile, "I have some clues. It is said that there are people in Dongtang Village who raise fish and there should be fry. The day after tomorrow, I will go there to see if I can buy them?"

"Is brother Taozi going with you?"

"I'm going alone, Jin Yun's brother is about to give birth, and Taozi probably won't be able to leave even a single step."

Gu Qiu nodded and said yes, and couldn't help telling: "Isn't that place quite far away, you have to be careful by yourself." Lin Dashan felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and smiled to hug Gu Qiu, Gu Qiu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he avoided it with a smile and cursing.

"By the way, I will go to Dongtang Village tomorrow. Dongtang Village is close to the city. If I come back early, I will go to the town and buy two piglets. I really need to raise some chickens and pigs at home."

"okay!"

"Remember to pick one male and one female back."

Lin Dashan was going to Dongtang Village the next day, and Gu Qiu thought about making some dry food for Lin Dashan at night, so as not to starve on the way.Generally, the dry food on the road is some pancakes, but the pancakes are already dry, and after cooling, they are dry and hard, and they are very unpalatable. The thought of eating these on Lin Dashan's road makes me feel distressed.Therefore, Gu Qiu decided not to make pancakes but to make some pies, anyway, it would be fine for this day.

Gu Qiu kneaded the dough with the cornmeal at home, and put it aside to wake up.The stuffing inside is shredded radish.

Cut the white radish into thin shreds, blanch it in hot water, add chopped green onion, add salt, sugar, chili oil, etc. to adjust the taste.Cut the awakened dough into small pieces, roll them into small pieces with a rolling pin, wrap the fillings well, press them flat and put them in the pan one by one and fry them slowly until both sides are golden brown.

Dashan has a big appetite, so Gu Qiu made ten of them at a time, and tomorrow's breakfast can also be taken care of.However, because the aroma was too enticing, the child Gu Dong hugged his brother's thigh for a long time, and finally ate a pancake.

Dongtang Village is a little far from Jiangjia Village, so Lin Dashan set off in a borrowed carriage before dawn, and walked for three or four hours before reaching Dongtang Village. After some inquiries, he found out that Zhang Dafu's family in the village had fish fry Sell.

But passers-by sighed when they heard Lin Dashan's intention, shook their heads, and said it was difficult.Lin Dashan guessed that this family might be difficult to deal with.

Following the instructions of passers-by, Lin Dashan came to the door of a relatively new green brick house. Lin Dashan tied the ox cart to a tree beside him and was about to knock on the door when a middle-aged man walked out of the door. , with prominent cheekbones, looking a little mean.

The brother looked at Lin Dashan warily and asked, "Who are you? Do you want to come to our house?"

"I'm Lin Dashan from Jiangjia Village. I want to raise some fish. We heard that your family has fish farming, so I came here to ask if I can buy some fry." Lin Dashan returned.

Hearing this, the brother moved away, led Lin Dashan into the room and sat down, poured him a cup of hot water, and called his head.

Zhang Dafu first exchanged some polite greetings with Lin Dashan, and then asked about fish farming, "Are you going to buy some fish fry and raise them in the pond you dug at home? It's not easy to raise fish."

Lin Dashan knew that Zhang Dafu had developed the ability to raise fish with his own hands, so he naturally had some taboos about other people raising fish.Lin Dashan shook his head and said, "I don't have that ability. I just thought that there is water in the rice fields, so I want to raise some fish in the fields."

Hearing this, Zhang Dafu thought to himself: You idiot, how can the fish be raised in the rice fields? Don’t the fish eat the rice?But he smiled and said, "Brother Lin really has an idea. I have fish fry here. Since Brother Lin was introduced by Jiang Zhengli, I won't earn you any money, eighty cents for a hundred fish. "

The price proposed by Zhang Dafu Dafu was naturally high, but he thought that only his family could sell the fish fry, so he was not worried that Lin Dashan would not buy it.

Lin Dashan frowned when he heard Zhang Dafu's lion's mouth, thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhang, the price is really affordable, but it's my first time raising fish, so I don't know if it will be successful. If I raise all of them If I die, I'm afraid I will suffer heavy losses. My family just married a younger brother, and I don't have much money in my hand, so it seems that I can't do fish farming."

Seeing that Lin Dashan seemed to be giving up, Zhang Dafu was worried that his business would be ruined, so he pondered for a while, pretending that he was going to suffer a big loss, and said with a frown, "Oh, brother Lin, since you have Come to me, brother, I can’t let you go back empty-handed, how about it, I’ll make it cheaper, seventy cash for a hundred fish fry, what do you think?”

Lin Dashan was not satisfied with the price, and still frowned, but Zhang Dafu's family couldn't hold back anymore, pushed Zhang Dafu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I think Brother Lin is destined for us, why don't we just let us buy it again?" Xili, how about sixty renminbi? Brother Lin, this can’t be cheaper, at the current price, we won’t be able to earn a penny.”

Lin Dashan originally calculated that it would be between 55 and 65, but Zhang Dafu's price was in line with his wishes. He pretended to be grateful and agreed. Lin Dashan ordered [-] fry and paid [-]. Wen deposit, make an appointment to come and pick it up in the future.

After Lin Dashan left Zhangjiazhuang, he went to the county seat.Remembering Gu Qiu's entrustment, Lin Dashan found two piggies, one male and one female spent [-] Wen.

Thinking of his family, Lin Dashan went to the butcher shop to buy a few catties of pork belly, a pig's ear, and bought some bones for a few pennies. Seeing that he bought a lot, the butcher sold some pigs Get him into the water.Pig offal is difficult to handle and has a strong smell. People here are generally unwilling to do it, and they can't do it well, but the butcher shop owner happily accepted it when he gave it to him.

It was getting late after finishing these things, Lin Dashan ate the leftover shredded radish pancakes, hurried back, and finally got home before the sky was completely dark.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Dashan saw Gu Dong standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, stretching his neck and looking towards the road. When he saw Lin Dashan's figure, he jumped up happily and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother...Brother... ...".

Lin Dashan drove over, picked up Gu Dong, and put him in the car, "It's windy at night, why are you standing here, you're not afraid of catching cold."

Gu Dong smiled grinningly: "Hey, brother saw that you didn't come back so late, I was a little worried, so I came out and waited. Bro, let's go back quickly, I'm starving to death."

"I haven't eaten yet at this time, you should eat first since I come back late." Lin Dashan felt distressed.

"That can't be done, my brother and my brother-in-law are a family, and we want to eat together." After hearing Gu Dong's childish words, Lin Dashan felt that his fatigue was gone, so he whipped his whip and hurried home go.

After returning home, he pushed open the firewood door, and the warm dim yellow light poured out. Lin Dashan saw Gu Qiu wearing an apron sitting at the dining table waiting for her, quiet and gentle.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Gu Qiu saw that it was Lin Dashan who came back, so he got up quickly to serve the meal.In the somewhat dim warm light, the family of three sat around to eat, Lin Dashan told Gu Qiu about buying fish fry in Dongtang Village today, and Gu Qiu felt that this big blessing was really not honest.

After Gu Qiu and Gu Dong put down their bowls and chopsticks, Lin Dashan swept everything on the table.It was already completely dark, and the family went to bed after washing up.
