Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Lin Gang, how many fish have you caught?"

Lin Gang didn't expect Lin Shu to ask him suddenly, and scratched his nose: "One."

Zhuangzhuang added gloatingly: "Aunt, my third uncle just caught a small crucian carp. My uncle said it was a crucian carp three fingers wide."

"Aunt, what does three fingers wide mean?"

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Gang who was pursing his lips, and smiled as he stretched out his three fingers: "Look, this is three fingers wide. The width of three fingers means that the fish your third uncle caught is probably this big, and it's not enough for Zhuang Zhuang to eat."

Zhuangzhuang measured the size of the fish that Gu Jiu had caught and said disdainfully, "The fish that Third Uncle caught is too small, not even enough for me to fill my teeth."

"Haha..." Lin Shu burst out laughing. This little guy really didn't give his third uncle any face.

Lin Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Deng Zhuangzhuang, if you have the guts, don't eat the fish I caught tonight!"

Zhuangzhuang snorted and said proudly: "Your small fish is not enough for me to eat, I will eat Uncle Gu's big fish."

Gu Jiu: "Well, eat what I caught. I'll let you eat enough tonight."

As he finished speaking, the simple buoy in the water moved again. Gu Jiu picked up the bamboo pole and saw a big black carp struggling in the water.

"This black carp is not small. How much does it weigh?" Lin Shu could see that the fish in the water was very big, but he couldn't estimate how many pounds it weighed.

Lin Gang's eyes were full of envy, and his tone was sour, "It weighs about four or five kilograms."

"Hiss, it's really big. You're awesome." Lin Shu gave Gu Jiu a thumbs up.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Actually, there is no skill involved in fishing. The main thing is that the fish in this reservoir are greedy."

Lin Gang, who started by talking about some techniques and had only caught a small crucian carp so far, said: "......"

The big bluefish slid in the water for a long time and was pulled up when it was exhausted.

After they took out the fishing hooks and re-baited, Lin Shu took the medicine hoe and went to the barren hill next to the reservoir.

The two children wanted to go play with her, but Lin Shu did not agree. The barren hill was overgrown with weeds, and she was afraid that the two children would scare away snakes. If they were bitten by a snake, she really could not take the responsibility.

As soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I found a field of peach blossoms.

The ground peach blossom belongs to the Malvaceae order, and the Brahma flower belongs to the upright subshrubby herbaceous plant. It is also known as the field Brahma flower and the triangular wind. Because the red flowers look like peach blossoms, it is also called the false peach blossom. Because the fruits like to stick to people's clothes or animal fur after ripening, it is also called the sticky spirit and the flea head.

The whole plant of the ground peach blossom can be used as medicine all year round, chopped and dried, and the root slices are dried. It has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, clearing away heat and detoxifying.

The system purchase price is 0.5 yuan per catty for the surface part, 1 yuan per catty for the root part, and 0.8 yuan per catty for the whole plant.

It was the first time that Lin Shu saw medicinal herbs priced according to their parts.

The ground peach blossoms are very tenacious and are often cut down as weeds in rural areas. Lin Shu naturally had no pressure digging them up.

Its trunk is thick but its root system is not well developed, so it is not difficult to dig it up. You can pull it up with the roots by just digging a little mud, so it is not too troublesome to harvest.

The ground peach blossoms grow in clusters, and it is very relaxing to pick them. In less than an hour, I picked more than 86 kilograms of them. I sold all the picked ground peach blossoms to the system in exchange for yuan.

During this period, I picked some herbs from time to time, and with the 86 yuan this time, the system balance now has 2605.3 yuan.

It is still a long way from the ten thousand dollars required for system upgrade.

As the sun sets, groups of small black dots will continue to dance in the wild sky. In fact, these small black bugs are mosquitoes.

There are flocks of them flying in the wild and outside the homes in rural areas in the evening.

This insect feeds on blood just like mosquitoes. Although the amount of blood it sucks is not much, your bite will be extremely itchy.

A few of them packed up and rushed home with the two children.

Gu Jiu, who was carrying five big fish in a scoop net, was very cool and the most eye-catching person.

Many people saw him carrying so many fish, and when they asked, they learned that they were caught in a wild reservoir. Although they were envious and jealous, they were really tempted and thought of going to the reservoir to try their luck during their rest days.

When they were almost at the village, they met Qi Xiaoyun, Wei Miao and Kong Handong who were returning home from work on a path in the field.

"Comrade Lin, this is your target." Kong Handong's eyes swept across the scoop net and finally fell on Gu Jiu who was carrying the scoop net.

Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu with a smile.

Gu Jiu held the fishing net with his left hand and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Gu Jiu, Lin Shu's girlfriend."

Kong Handong smiled and extended his hand back to shake hands: "Hello, Comrade Gu, my name is Kong Handong, an educated youth from Xiaohe Production Team, nice to meet you."

Then, he pointed to the two female educated youths beside him and said, "Her name is Qi Xiaoyun, and the other one is Wei Miao. Like me, they are educated youths who went to the countryside to build the countryside."

Gu Jiu nodded to them politely.

Qi Xiaoyun and Wei Miao suppressed their shock and smiled politely in response.

Qi Xiaoyun pulled Lin Shu over and said, "He should be from the city, how did you get to know him?"

Lin Shu: “I met him through a friend.”

Qi Xiaoyun found it unbelievable that they fell in love after being introduced by a friend? The boy's parents wanted their son to marry a rural woman?

"You have friends in the city? Why haven't I heard you mention that before?"

Lin Shu: “You didn’t ask.”

Qi Xiaoyun: “…”

Kong Handong didn't pay attention to what the girls were doing. He stared at the fish in the net and asked Gu Jiu, "You caught so many fish today, can you give me another one?"

Gu Jiu shook his head: "No."

"......" Kong Handong never expected to be rejected. "You can't eat five or six big fish in one or two meals. It's easy to get smelly in the hot weather. Why don't you change one for us as a snack?"

Gu Jiu ignored Kong Handong's expectant look and said, "If you don't want to change it, we can stew it or roast it. If we can't finish it, we can pickle it and dry it."

Kong Handong: “…” He is really ungrateful. He is not afraid of eating so many fish to death.

Lin Gang rubbed his nose and tried hard to suppress his laughter.

The group returned home with their two children, and Liu Xiao'e was sitting under the porch chopping grass for pigs.

"You're back. Wow, you've gained a lot." Liu Xiao'e stood up and poured Gu Jiu a large cup of herbal tea.

"Mom, I'll do it myself. You sit down and rest for a while." Gu Jiu didn't dare to let his future mother-in-law pour water.

Liu Xiaoe realized that she had not washed her hands yet after chopping pig grass, so she picked up the tea and drank it herself, "Okay, pour as much as you want."

Lin Gang took the scoop net from Gu Jiu's shoulder and poured it into the large wooden basin.

Lin Shu poured two glasses of water for the two children, drank one himself, and said to Lin Gang, "Pour some water into the basin first, and I'll cut the fish later."

Gu Jiu drank some water and said, "You take a rest, I'll do the cesarean section."

"No, I want to fillet a fish and use it for boiled fish."

There are not many requirements for making braised fish fillets, just chop it into pieces.

After drinking the water, Lin Shu sat under the porch with a chopping board and a kitchen knife and began to cut the fish. Her movements were smooth and extremely smooth. She removed the fish head and bones, and finally sliced ​​the fish meat into thin slices and put them in large bowls.

Gu Jiu handed the bowl to the side and silently memorized the steps of cutting the fish.

When the other people in the family came back from work and the children came back from school, the house suddenly became lively and Lin Shu went into the kitchen to cook.
