Come on!Foodie!

The gloomy sky couldn't stop Xiaoyang's joyful mood.However, being wrapped in a cotton coat by Zhu Hai, the whole person looked bloated, and it was not so convenient to move around, which naturally hindered his range of activities on the donkey cart.

The weather has been getting colder every day lately, but it doesn't seem to be as strong in the village as it is outside.Zhu Hai said that this is because Niuzhuang should be counted as surrounded by mountains, and the roads leading to the county town, the upper reaches and Haichazi are not outlets, so the winter in the village is not so difficult.Sometimes it is even warmer than the county seat, but it is not so obvious.

"It's the climate in the basin~" Xiao Yang whispered after listening.Then he asked again: "Brother Zhu, can you swim?" He was a little worried when he thought that the ice on the river would not be so firm.After all, he can't swim, and even dogs can't compare.So this question still has to be asked.

Zhu Hai nodded: "Yes. Will Xiaoyang know?"

Xiao Yang shook his head: "No. I didn't have the opportunity to learn it before. But I don't want to learn it either. It's fine just soaking in the water. Swimming around is still not suitable for me."

Zhu Hai smiled: "Actually, swimming is very easy to learn. I didn't have anyone to teach me when I was young. Fortunately, our village is close to the river, so I hang out with Erbao and the others. With me here, you want to swim in the river?" Soak in the river, if you want to go to the sea, go to the sea. It’s okay, you’re safe!”

Xiao Yang also grinned: "That's what you said! I put my life in your hands!" After speaking, he realized that his words were really ambiguous, and immediately blushed.Well, in fact, his face was also very red, but it was from the cold.

"Hey hey hey hey." Dazhuang children's shoes put the whip on the car with a smile, then took Xiaoyang's face with both hands, and kissed him heavily on the forehead, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, you are my lifeblood, How can I be willing to let you have trouble. That is my life!"

Covering his cheeks with his big warm hands, the sweet love words in his ears, and the hot kiss on his forehead, Zhu Dazhuang seemed more and more overwhelmed by himself. "You, you drive well... don't move your hands, you move your feet!"

Zhu Hai smiled and helped Xiaoyang tuck the collar of his clothes, pressed his hat again, and then picked up the whip again: "After a while, the wind will be stronger when you leave the mountain pass. Cover your hat so that you don't get blown away." Wan Wan raised his whip and made a crisp sound in the air.The Wang family yelled at the donkey and heard the sound of the whip, and immediately accelerated the pace of marching forward!

Looking at the vast river with a width of 60 meters, Xiaoyang's excitement cannot be expressed in words.The mountain peaks in the distance are not high, and it can be seen that all the trees on the mountain except the pine trees have lost their leaves, revealing the black and yellow color of the mountain.Slightly depressed, but not desolate.

There are people on the wide river, but not many, they are all busy in twos and threes, and they are all quite far apart.Zhu Hai said that those were all people who came to smash holes in the ice to catch fish.Some are from nearby villages, and some are city dwellers who love to play.People come here every year at this time of year.

Xiaoyang asked: "People came to catch fish every year, wouldn't they kill all the fish?" As a modern person, he knows very well that ecological balance is very important.If the biological chain is broken in the middle, it may not be just one or two species that perish.

Zhu Hai replied: "How can I catch them? Every winter, 20 days before the beginning of the year, you can come to smash fish. Otherwise, even fishermen are not allowed to enter the east. Besides, not everyone knows where to fish. Come. So not so many people come to play."

It seems that these ancient people are still amazing!Thinking so, Xiao Yang followed Zhu Hai out of the donkey cart. "I'm going to put the ice cart!"

This one-person sled was made by Wang Erbao and Zhu Hai together.However, in previous years, these two people used to push the buckets filled with fish. This year, Zhu Hai took two extra thick mats in order to be able to push his own lamb on the ice for two laps.Everyone understands Xiaoyang's excitement.He is very curious about this sled!Don’t look at the northerner who originally lived in the northeast, but the city he lives in does not have a big river. If the rainfall in the rainy season is insufficient, the two small rivers will stop flowing in winter.Where is there such a fun thing.Besides, with Xiaoyang's conditions, there is no chance to play around at all.

Just by looking at the people on the ice, one can be sure that the river surface is already solid.So Zhu Hai didn't go over to see the situation like in previous years.However, he still didn't dare to pull the donkey cart casually. Once Wanli had an accident, it was not easy to save this big guy.So he first tied the donkey cart to the big rock by the river, then put the ice chisel and wooden bucket on the sled, and pushed it to his desired destination.

In fact, when he saw Zhu Hai walking on the river, even though he knew there was no danger, he was still very worried.So I couldn't help asking loudly: "Is the ice very thick?"

Zhu Hai turned his head and smiled at Xiaoyang: "It's okay. It's okay, don't follow me. I'll push you over in a while. It's fun!" After speaking, he continued walking until he was more than three feet away from the shore. He stopped, then put the bucket and chisel on the ice, and turned back to pick up Xiaoyang.

Sitting on the soft cushion and being pushed by Zhu Hai to slide on the ice, Xiao Yang was very happy.It wasn't much fun at first, but it was very fresh for the first time, and because the person pushing me was Zhu Hai, I was very happy. "Brother Zhu, sit down, I'll push you, I'll push you!"

Zhu Hai didn't refuse, he stood still and passed his hand to catch Xiao Yang's, pulling him up.Then he sat very aggrieved on the sleigh.It doesn't look very comfortable on the senses, but in fact, this half-squatting posture is also very difficult.But Comrade Da Zhuang is beautiful in his heart.

Seeing the ugly posture of Dazhuang's children's shoes, Xiaoyang couldn't help laughing: "Tomorrow, let's build a big ice cart that can seat two people, and then raise a few big dogs to pull us on the ice. That's a lot of money." Vigorous, still pulling the wind!"

Zhu Hai asked with a smile: "What is pulling the wind?"

Xiao Yang thought for a while, and replied: "It's just amazing!" Well, he actually explained it completely unreliably.But it doesn't seem necessary to go any further.

An ice chisel is a combination of a wooden handle and an iron point.It is 1.5 meters tall and short, which means it is ten centimeters shorter than Xiaoyang's now condensed figure. In addition, the wooden part in his hand is as thick as an adult man's arm, so it is not a thing for Xiaoyang. Take it to smash the ice.Just moving is a difficult task for him.

Fortunately, this thing is very comfortable to use in Zhu Hai's hands.He let Xiaoyang sit on the ice cart to skate by himself, and reminded him not to leave him too far.Then he started to draw ice and smash it!

The word "smash" does not have any technical content.But it depends on luck and experience to find fish in where to smash.The water Zhu Hai chose is relatively deep, so there will be fish below.In previous years, when he came with Erbao and other villagers, he also smashed in this place, and his grades were still good.Of course, there are more good fish nests in the middle of the river, but he usually doesn't go there, let alone taking his own wife with him now, so he has to find a safe place.

Seeing Zhu Hai pounding on the ice, Xiao Yang thought: These ices should be edible, right?It seems that there is nothing dirty, and there is no need to worry about pollution.Thinking about it, he acted subconsciously, slid near Zhu Hai, picked up a piece of smashed ice, put it in his mouth and chewed it. "It's so cold!" I just hope that I won't have diarrhea after eating.

Zhu Hai also picked up a piece of ice from the river with a smile and put it in his mouth, chewing while continuing to smash it: "After a while, I will break the hole open, and the fish will float up in a short time. Just fish it. Maybe there will be big fish!"

Xiao Yang raised his hands high: "I'll fish! I'll fish!!"

Zhu Hai smiled: "Okay. You come to fish. But be careful, don't get too close to the hole."

Because only Zhu Hai did it alone, it was not easy to smash the ice hole.It took more than 40 minutes to smash it.Of course, this time is just Xiaoyang's estimate, maybe it may be longer or not.

Xiao Yang raised his arm and wiped the sweat on Zhu Hai's forehead with his cuff, muttering in his heart: Although it is not elegant, I definitely don't want to have a handkerchief in my arms! "Brother Zhu, hurry up and take a rest in the car. How long do we have to wait before we see the fish?"

Grabbing Xiaoyang's two hands and putting them on his face, he then covered his daughter-in-law's small hands with his two big hands: "It's not necessarily true, it will happen after a while with good luck."

On cloudy days, Xiaoyang can't tell the exact time, but being hungry is still a good reminder.I made pies at home for less than half an hour, then drove here, and then played with the ice cart twice, smashing ice holes for a long time, and my stomach is really not ashamed, it should be the time to be hungry up. "Then let's eat and wait!" After speaking, he turned around and slipped while laughing. "I'm going to get the pie!"

Seeing Xiaoyang walking and slipping all the way, sometimes standing unsteadily, Zhu Hai wanted to laugh but held back.My little daughter-in-law is so interesting. She always says that she is almost nineteen, but sometimes she has the same temperament as a child.

Carrying a cotton bag, Xiao Yang sneaked all the way to Zhu Hai's side. The first thing he did was to look into the ice hole: "Ah! There are fish!!!" Although there are not many, only five or six, but the size is enough. It's as long as a slap.This amount is enough to make soup at night! "You eat first, I'll go get it!!"

As a result, after Xiaoyang's net was cast down, no fish came up for a while.This made him a little anxious and a little depressed. "Did I surprise them by getting off the net just now?" Xiao Yang asked while biting into a pie filled with cabbage.

Zhu Hai replied: "It's okay, they can't help it." After speaking, he handed the cowhide wine bag to Xiaoyang's mouth, "Drink a small sip to keep out the cold."

Xiaoyang has tasted the baijiu here, it is quite spicy, but very mellow, the feeling of aftertaste is more obvious, but the aftertaste is great.He doesn't like to drink, and Zhu Hai won't drink if there are no guests, so he uses all the wine at home for cooking.But now, after taking a sip and swallowing it, it really warmed up from the inside out. "How does this filling taste?" Knowing that no matter how thick it is wrapped, the pie will be cold outside, so today Xiaoyang made a pie with plain filling.The filling is made of cabbage and dried tofu with a spicy taste, and it will never taste greasy.

Zhu Hai nodded: "It's delicious! Daughter-in-law, you didn't use meat as stuffing, how can you still taste meat?"

Xiao Yang replied with a smile: "Because I put the spice powder in the stew, so you think there is meat... ah ah!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yang was shocked by the situation in front of him fall down. "What a big fish!!"

At this time, Zhu Hai also saw the situation in front of him. It turned out that a carp about the length of his half arm jumped out of the ice hole and fell directly onto the ice.
