59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

This group of children were lured here by the candy in Zhou Dinghai's mouth.

Naturally, the little cousin was reluctant to share the candy with them, even though they were his cousins, uncles, and grandfathers.

You can give gifts, but you can’t share candy.

Chen Feng didn't want them to stare at him, so he said, "You want some candy, right?"

"miss you!"

"How about this, my uncle is short of some firewood, you guys go collect some firewood, the more firewood you have, the more sugar you will have."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Can you pick up firewood?"

"meeting!"

A group of children said happily.

"Well, I'll give you a piece of candy first, and then you go collect firewood."

Chen Feng gave each of them a candy as a deposit and tricked them all away with a few words.

Rural areas cannot afford coal, let alone natural gas or biogas.

Children aged five or six basically have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

There is a small pine forest behind Zhoujiagou. The fallen leaves in the forest are the best firewood.

In addition, dry straw, shrubs, and wild grass on the seashore are all used as fuel in the fishing village.

"Cousin, we have firewood at home." Zhou Dinghai said with concern.

Chen Feng said disdainfully: "Stupid, aren't you? Let me ask you, if you don't let them collect firewood, who will be responsible for your family's firewood?"

Zhou Dinghai said stupidly: "My brother and I, grandma is taking us with her now."

This fool hasn't come to his senses yet.

Chen Feng shook his head. His little cousin’s IQ was not high enough. He was even more stupid than Chen Hao.

Patted him on the shoulder.

"So, you'd like to collect firewood?"

Zhou Dinghai thought about it and said firmly: "I think sugar is more important."

"Because at home, even if there is enough firewood, grandma won't let me sit idle, so I might as well go collect firewood and eat candy at the same time."

That seems to be the truth!

Chen Feng was speechless.

"Cousin, it's not easy for you!"

Zhou Dinghai nodded and said flatteringly: "Cousin, how much candy do you have? Give it to me."

"roll!"

With only Zhou Dinghai around, Chen Feng was too lazy to waste the water from the Solar Well, even though it recovered very quickly.

Ever since he acted as a good guy last time and saved many people, it seems that his good luck has greatly improved, and his fortune and romantic luck are particularly prosperous. Every time he goes out, he can pick up a few cents and meet a few beautiful women.

You said that Zhang Xiaohua was a coincidence, but on the road of hundreds of kilometers, Pang Hongmei had no choice but to choose the place where he roasted pheasant.

How clever it is!

Lifting the rod, a small yellow croaker was hanging on the hook.

Chen Feng secretly cursed his bad luck.

To him, the small yellow croaker tasted good but was too small.

A wild small yellow croaker usually weighs only about one or two hundred grams, or about three or four taels, and is about twelve or thirteen centimeters long. It is much smaller than the farmed small yellow croaker in later generations, and its color is much lighter.

In an era when there was no shortage of food, small yellow croakers were generally used by fishermen to feed chickens and ducks.

There is no way. No one likes to eat small yellow croaker, the price is not high and there is not much meat.

Wouldn’t it be more delicious to eat yellow croaker, red sea bream, etc. that are full of meat in one bite?

If it weren't for the Great Famine, few people would eat this thing.

He removed the fishhook, threw the small yellow croaker into Zhou Dinghai's fish bucket, and lowered the hook again. In less than ten seconds, another fish was caught.

"Another yellow croaker?"

"Will it attract a school of small yellow croakers?"

Small yellow croaker is a warm-temperate bottom-dwelling schooling migratory fish that generally lives in soft mud or silty sea areas. It can sometimes be encountered near the Bohai Sea.

The premise is good luck!

When Zhou Dinghai saw movement on his fishing rod, he quickly lifted the rod and found another small yellow croaker about ten centimeters long.

"Haha, cousin, as expected, now that you are here, I can catch fish."

Seeing how happy he was, Chen Feng was also happy.

When you encounter a school of small yellow croakers, you basically have to lift the rod every ten seconds.

With the help of my little cousin, in just an hour, the buckets they were carrying were all full.

Most of them were small yellow croakers. Chen Feng also caught a dozen prawns, two red sea breams and a black fish.

There is no way. There are not many shallow water aquatic animals in the Bohai Sea, unlike the Zhoushan fishing grounds, which are very rich.

"walk home!"

He hung two wooden barrels, one large and one small, on the bicycle with ropes, and Zhou Dinghai followed behind him, holding two fishing rods and holding a candy in his mouth.

When I came back, I saw piles of firewood in the small yard in front of my house.

Seven or eight children, aged three or four, sat in front of their own firewood.

Seeing Chen Feng and Zhou Dinghai approaching, each of them was holding firewood.

"It's my house. My brother said you are not allowed to come over."

"Haha, it will be mine soon!" Zhou Dinghai said proudly.

Chen Feng stopped his bicycle and looked at the children who were guarding firewood like their lives. He took out small yellow croakers that were beginning to change color and teased them, "Really? Whoever is willing to give me firewood, I'll exchange it for candy."

"I will not eat!"

A little kid said, swallowing his saliva.

"I want to eat!"

The other children were interested.

"Haha, let's change it later." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Look, cousin, the fish has changed color again."

Zhou Dinghai boasted: "Cousin, my father said that this kind of fish that turns white is called small yellow croaker."

Yellow croaker itself can be yellowish or whitish, and some are naturally very yellow, golden and very beautiful.

Some are white, and their color is not much different from that of whitebait.

However, overall, the color of large yellow croaker is darker, while the color of most small yellow croaker is not very obvious.

In addition, the color of the fish is related to the time of fishing.

Because yellow croaker contains a yellow pigment that will be decomposed when exposed to light, if it is caught during the day when there is plenty of light, the yellow croaker will be exposed to the sunlight after being taken out of the water, and its body will turn white.

When fishing at night, when the light is weak, they will die immediately from dehydration, and their color will be well preserved, and the yellow croaker will turn a beautiful golden color.

Therefore, in order to highlight its golden color and increase its price, it is caught at night.

Farmed small yellow croaker is cheap, not so particular, and the color is not that good looking.

In order to increase prices, many vendors in later generations deliberately used various special substances to dye the small yellow croaker yellow so that they could sell it at a high price.

Of course, many small yellow croakers are fake.

How can ordinary people tell whether the small yellow croaker sold at a barbecue stall is real or fake?

"Did you encounter a school of small yellow croakers?"

When grandma saw the fish that Chen Feng poured into the wooden basin, she said happily, "The small yellow croaker is not bad either."

Chen Feng smiled bitterly.

Small yellow croaker does not have much meat and is too small, so it is usually braised or grilled, but this requires a lot of oil.

"Grandma, I'll go to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy some oil later. I'll cook dinner tonight."

The old man smiled and agreed.

"Okay, do whatever you like."

After more than ten minutes, a large group of children came to Zhou's house carrying firewood.

Chen Feng came out and gave two or three candies to each person based on the amount of firewood they estimated.

"Will you need more firewood tomorrow?"

A group of carefree and happy children immediately looked at him.

"You are quite clever."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue exchanging tomorrow until my grandma's house has enough firewood."

"Oh, great."

They happily took the candy and went home.
