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

"Oh, big brother, that's amazing, another big fish!"

In the reef area two miles away from Zhoujiagou, a little girl put down her fishing rod and jumped and chattered excitedly beside Chen Feng.

“What a big redeye fish (pike)!”

Chen Feng is now fishing at the beach with his two cousins.

Oh, there was also Zhou Xiaoya who became his follower after helping wash the dishes after lunch.

The two cousins ​​are skipping school!

The courage given by Chen Feng!

The main thing is that this fishing is different from the previous ones.

In the past, once the fish were caught, the two cousins ​​would quickly send them back home to have their grandparents deal with them, so there was no need to worry about the fish meat going bad or turning sour.

There is no one at home today, and Chen Feng is too lazy to move. It is very annoying to kill and bleed the fish one by one!

He had no choice but to let Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubao skip classes.

Of course the two cousins ​​said, “Cousin, you are so wise and brave. We have wanted to do this for a long time and have been waiting for you to say this!”

Chen Feng brought the sack specially for fishing. He would fill it up soon and take it back with him.

So the two cousins, Zhou Dinghai caught the cutlassfish, and Zhou Fubo took the small Shenfeng, and they processed the cutlassfish on the spot.

Zhou Xiaoya is not very old, but she is more skillful than Zhou Fubo in killing fish.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Chen Feng gave her a bag of candies.

"Calm down, little girl, it's just a barracuda."

"But it's really big!" Zhou Xiaoya said excitedly, "Big brother, you are really awesome, even more awesome than my grandfather."

Zhou Xiaoya's flattery made Chen Feng very comfortable. No wonder his grandma and grandpa liked her so much.

Who doesn’t like a smiling little round face who can flatter people!

"No, no, the old patriarch must have caught bigger ones."

Barracudas are generally 20 centimeters long. A 60-centimeter-long one like Chen Feng's is indeed a big fish.

The breeding season for pike is usually from late April to early June every year in China's Bohai Bay. They will spawn in groups in estuaries, mudflats and other waters.

This barracuda was part of the first wave that arrived too early.

Chen Feng pulled the pike up directly without worrying about the fishing line breaking.

Two cousins ​​and a little girl came over and cut open the belly of the quiet pike and drained its blood on the spot.

Bleeding is also necessary for pike, which helps to remove the fishy smell and ensure the quality and taste of the fish meat.

Bleeding involves separating the shoulder girdle and cutting the spine, and if necessary, cleaning to ensure the quality of the fish meat.

The three little guys happily handled the big fish.

Chen Feng hung a razor clam on the hook and threw it back into the sea, glancing at the three of them.

Unlike the big military caps, the two cousins ​​and a little girl wore fish-skin hats and clothes, which were quite warm and had a bit of the most flashy ethnic style.

It's almost comparable to the LV3000 million who went shopping in Chengdu in later generations.

'How ugly!'

However, Zhou Xiaoya had previously boasted that her hat was the most beautiful in the village.

'Is this the way poverty limits my imagination?'

Chen Feng glanced at Zhou Xiaoya's outfit, and always felt that it was a bit embarrassing to show it off.

'It must be because they are too poor, and their aesthetics are in urgent need of money to improve.'

After processing the barracuda, they threw it directly into a large sack. The three boys and girls excitedly held their fishing rods and looked at the buoy under the reef.

They also caught a lot of fish this afternoon.

What made Zhou Xiaoya happiest was that Chen Feng promised that she could take the fish she caught back home.

This was the first time she caught so many fish from the shore.

Even many fish that can only be caught on a boat were caught in the reef area.

In the past, only small fish the size of a palm could be caught here.

But today it magically exploded!

The little girl couldn't understand it.

How could she know that Chen Feng did not use well water this time, but directly dismembered a yellow sheep and threw it into the water one by one to make a nest.

A yellow sheep!

If he doesn’t catch several times the harvest, wouldn’t it be a waste?

In just three hours, the two cousins ​​and Zhou Xiaoya filled most of the three fish buckets, and the two large sacks were also bulging.

"Cousin, prawns!"

"Good stuff, put it in a small sack." Chen Feng said with a smile: "Lily is particularly greedy for this."

"Then let's fish some more."

In less than three minutes, Chen Feng caught a half-meter-long cutlassfish.

The cutlassfish accepted its fate and did not struggle, but the two cousins ​​were very worried that the fishing line would be broken.

But they overestimated it.

Chen Feng had already swapped the fishing rod and the space fishing rod before he went out.

"Dinghai, hold on tight, I'm going to bleed you!"

When processing hairtail, you need to remove the head, tail and internal organs, and it is best to bleed the fish to allow the blood to flow more cleanly.

The blood and internal organs of hairtail have a strong fishy smell, so Chen Feng asked them to stay away.

"Dinghai, Fubo, put it in the sack, don't put it in the barrel, it won't fit."

The two silly cousins, Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubo, wanted to put the half-meter-long hairtail into the bucket, which was already filled with a lot of pike, skinned fish (green-fin pufferfish), stonehead fish, red sea bream, etc. that they had caught.

Can't let it go at all.

Seeing that the bucket is almost full, we will all go back later.

"Cousin, will my mother really not beat me?" Zhou Dinghai was always a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's one afternoon, two classes, I'll make up for it for you in the evening. When we go back later, you can bring a garfish to your Chinese teacher. I promise it'll be fine."

My two cousins, one is in the first grade and the other in the third grade, are both late starters.

The commune’s primary school has only three grades, three classes, and three teachers.

When they grow up and want to continue their studies, they have to go to town.

After half an hour, the sack was full.

The two cousins ​​were breathless but very excited.

During this period, Zhou Dinghai, Zhou Fubo and Zhou Xiaoya also caught several large pike.

Twenty to thirty centimeters, and it weighs several kilograms.

"Hey, Dinghai, Fubo, why aren't you in school?"

A girl wearing a fish-skin coat passed by carrying a fish bucket and a fishing rod. She saw two brothers fishing and asked curiously.

"My cousin is here, please take some time off to go fishing with him."

The girl took one look at the two fish barrels and her eyes widened.

“You caught so many?”

"Hehe, there are a lot of fish here." Zhou Fubo said embarrassedly.

"I'll go call my sister."

When the girl heard this, she ran away happily.

Rural girls also want to study, but their families generally do not allow them to do so, so they can only work at home, go fishing, etc.

"Cousin, what should we do now?" Zhou Dinghai asked.

"That's enough, let's get out of here!" Chen Feng picked up two large sacks and a small sack, which were filled with a lot of big fish.

The other three people carried the fish bucket back with great difficulty.

"Xiao Ya. What do you think? I'll tell you, my cousin has a good relationship with the Dragon King. As long as he comes, the Dragon King will send fish." Zhou Dinghai spoke nonsense seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is feudal superstition and will be criticized." Chen Feng warned.

"Whee!"

The three boys and girls were grinning.
