The cute educated youth accidentally flirted with the black-bellied vixen

"It's actually the same as making bricks. You just need to build a kiln. But if we want to smoke fish, we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can just make a simple kiln."

"Last time I saw everyone cooking a big pot, the stove they built was actually fine!

It is in the shape of an inverted semicircle with a hole on top which was originally used to place the pot. You can take a large bamboo strip and weave it into a simple sieve, hang the fish on it, or put the cut fish pieces on it, and then put the large iron pot upside down on it.

Use pine needles to ignite the fire, preferably wet ones, so that the smoke is very large and the fish can be easily smoked in a closed environment!"

Several people's eyes lit up, as they had never used such a method before.

Lin Jianguo and Fang Haisheng looked at each other and said:

"Let's try it. I think this will work. It'll take a while to catch the fish anyway, so let's try catching a fish first. We can use the clay stove built in the square. If it works, we'll build another one then!"

His idea was recognized by many people at the scene, so Lin Jianguo arranged for someone to find Wu the bamboo craftsman to weave a rough and thick sieve-like thing with bamboo strips, large enough to cover the stove opening.

We also arranged for people to collect pine needles. There are a lot of pine needles. There may not be any dry ones for the time being, but there are a lot of wet ones.

Those who were looking for pine needles went to look for pine needles, and then Liu Xie'e picked a medium-sized fish weighing nearly 20 kilograms and a small fish weighing five or six kilograms and walked towards the brigade headquarters.

They need to cut the big fish into pieces, process the small fish, and then put them in together to see the effect.

Since it was an experiment, they could use bigger fireworks. In order to make this go smoothly, the captain dragged Gu Wan to watch.

The purpose is to conduct the experiment as soon as possible to see if the fish can really be smoked well.

When Gu Wan arrived, Liu Xie'e and the others had already processed the fish and placed it on a rough sieve made of bamboo strips.

The original earthen stove had also been thoroughly cleaned and a fire had been lit underneath. Seeing that the fire was burning very brightly, Gu Wan asked someone to throw all the pine needles and pine branches in.

The moment the pine needles were thrown in, a thick white smoke floated towards us. Everyone quickly put a fish sieve to cover it, and then turned the frying pan upside down on top.

Close to the ground, there is a relatively small fire hole.

There is also a hole on the back of this opening, which is specially designed to allow air circulation so that the fire will not be extinguished.

Although a hole is left, since the smoke goes upwards, there is no need to worry about the smoke escaping from the hole.

After everything was ready, a group of people gathered around the wide bottom and narrow top earthen stove, staring at it intently, not daring to even blink.

They made Gu Wan feel embarrassed. "It's okay to leave it here. If you want to see the effect, make the fire below bigger and keep an eye on the pine needles. If they are all burned, add more. The fish will probably start to dry up in two or three hours, and turn yellow and dry. Wait for five or six hours, and it will be half dry by the afternoon."

When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited. However, what Gu Wan said was actually quite conservative. If they really increased the fire and smoke, it would take five or six hours for the cut fish pieces to be almost smoked.

"Okay, we have to go fishing today, and the fish will be sorted out in the afternoon, so we can sort the fish later today. If this method works, we can start this afternoon, and I'll approve the request tomorrow."

Everyone present was very excited. But it was almost time for dinner, and Gu Wan had nothing to do standing here, so she went back first.

However, several village cadres were obviously reluctant to leave and wanted to watch the whole process.

After Gu Wan returned home, she simply cooked some noodles and washed the dishes after eating. Seeing that the tea had been almost finished, she put another pot on the stove.

Water and herbs were put in it for making herbal tea. After working for half an hour, Gu Wan was ready to take a nap.

Gu Wan didn’t know how long she had slept before she heard someone knocking on the door. She thought she was dreaming.

I opened my eyes and was in a daze for a long time before I realized that it seemed like someone was knocking on the door.

I hurriedly put on my shoes and went to open the door. My hair was a mess like a bird's nest and I didn't have time to tidy it up. The knock on the door was loud and urgent.

Anxious Gu Wan was too embarrassed to delay.

"Here it comes. Here it comes!" Will this door be broken?

The person outside must have heard Gu Wan's voice, so he stopped knocking on the door.

"Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, are you awake? It's me, your Aunt Liu!"

Gu Wan felt the voice outside sounded very familiar, and she knew who was speaking as soon as the voice opened.

Gu Wan opened the door and asked, "Aunt Liu, is there something urgent you want to talk to me about?"

Liu Xie'e smiled a little embarrassedly, especially when she saw Gu Wan was still wearing slippers and her hair was very messy.

"Hey, I'm just too excited. You see, it's almost time to open the fish, can we?"

Gu Wan exclaimed: "You guys haven't opened it yet?"

Liu Xie'e tucked her hair behind her head a little embarrassedly and said with a wry smile:

"We are afraid that if we make a wrong step, it will be bad!"

Gu Wan slapped her forehead and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly before. Just open it directly!" After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Liu Xie'e:

"Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and go with you to take a look!"

This was naturally the best. Liu Xie'e nodded and waited at the door. Soon Gu Wan came out after changing her clothes and shoes.

When she came out, she took a rubber band and didn't have time to braid her hair, so she just gathered it all behind her head and combed it into a bun with her hands, which made her look particularly playful and cute.

Liu Xie'e took a quick glance and then looked away. After Gu Wan closed the door, the two of them walked quickly towards the brigade headquarters.

Neither of them spoke along the way, and soon they arrived at the brigade headquarters, where a lot of people had already gathered.

Liu Xie'e and Gu Wan squeezed to the middle. When the team leader and others saw Gu Wan coming, they quickly stood up and greeted her happily.

"Gu Zhiqing, you're here!"

"Gu Zhiqing, come and see what's going on!"

"Yes, there's a fire with pine needles underneath. Come and see what's going on!"

The villagers who had gathered to watch the fun also looked at Gu Wan. After experiencing the tension in the morning, Gu Wan was not so nervous at this moment.

He nodded to the team leader and the branch secretary before saying:

"Just move the iron pot away and it's almost done." Gu Wan looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon, which meant it had been smoking for about four or five hours.

Moreover, there was a strong fire underneath and so many pine needles were placed there, so I guess the cut fish were almost smoked.
