Chapter 56 Catching Loaches 1 (Second update) (Happy New Year’s Eve!)

Xiao Siquan looked at the large group of children surrounding the pond, and his heart began to stir.

He said to Xiao Jinli, "Sister, let's go take a look too!"

Xiao Jinli raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly and said, "Okay then."

It's not cold in summer anyway.

Walking to the pond, Xiao Siquan took a look and asked, "How big is this pond?"

Xiao Jinli said, "It seems to be one and a half acres, which is very big."

Is it big? Xiao Siquan muttered in his heart, it seems not as big as the pond at his home.

The pond at his home is half the size of this one, and it also raises fish, but only those very precious ornamental fish.

There are some weeds on the edge of this pond, and a shelf is built at one end of the pond, with pumpkin vine leaves and winter melon vine leaves coiled on it. The shelf is densely packed, and from a distance, it looks like a small house.

There are also some wild rice and lotus planted in the pond.

However, Xiao Siquan knew lotus flowers, but not wild rice plants.

He asked directly, "What are those clumps of reed-like things? They look like reeds, but the leaves are bigger and greener than reeds."

Xiao Jinli said, "That's water bamboo!"

"Water bamboo shoots? What is wild rice noodles?" Xiao Siquan asked curiously, "Can it be eaten?"

"Yes, wild rice is edible." Xiao Jinli nodded and said, "You can eat it raw, or you can cook it and stir-fry it! If you eat it raw, it is tender, crispy, and sweet. If you stir-fry it, especially the stir-fried beef, it tastes really delicious."

When Xiao Siquan heard what she said, he almost aroused slanderous insects and wanted to eat them.

Xiao Jinli glanced at him and said with a smile, "Now is the season when wild rice is edible. If you want to try it, I'll ask Uncle Dachun to pick some for us later."

Xiao Siquan did not refuse.

A group of children were very happy to see Xiao Jinli appear, but when they saw that they were covered in mud and sludge, they did not dare to approach.

Everyone in the village, young and old, knows that Xiao Jinli loves to be clean.

She doesn't like people who are not hygienic.

Everyone wants to be liked by Xiao Jinli, so if you want to see Xiao Jinli or play with Xiao Jinli, your whole body must be clean.

"Little koi!"

"Sister Koi!"

The older children are called Little Koi, and the younger children are called Sister Koi.

"Sister Koi, why are you here? Are you here to catch fish too?" asked a seven or eight-year-old child.

Xiao Jinli nodded and said, "Well, I'm here to catch loach today. I want to eat loach drill tofu."

"The little koi wants to eat a loach. I'll catch the loach for you later."

"Sister Koi, I'll catch loaches for you too!"

Children, big and small, rushed to express their desire to catch loaches for the Xiao Jin carp.

Xiao Jinli waved his little hand and said loudly, "Okay, after you catch the loach, I will buy it directly."

Anyway, live loaches can be kept and eaten.

"It's free of charge. We'll catch it for you directly. If your parents know that I charge you money, they will definitely get scolded when you go back."

"Yes, yes, I don't know if this loach is easy to catch anyway, and I don't know how many can be caught."

"Don't worry about being scolded by your parents, just say it was me, Xiao Jinli, who said it."

"Oh yeah!"

The children were very happy.

Xiao Jinli bought their loach, which gave them some pocket money.

With this little pocket money, you can buy spicy sticks or other small snacks.

A group of adults suddenly felt funny when they heard the children's laughter.

An adult said in a funny way, "Haha, when the little koi buys your loach, it's just a disguised attempt to give you some pocket money. However, the amount of money you can get depends on your ability and how much you can catch."

It’s a loach.”

"Haha, once the little koi comes here, the atmosphere becomes much more joyful."

At this time, Xiao Dachun said, "Little koi, you love to eat fish, how many fish do you want, what kind of fish do you want, I will give them to you!"

Before Xiao Jinli could say anything, Xiao Wanshan, who was helping to pour the water, said with a smile, "There is no need to give it away. All your fish eat grass, so you can sell me as many fish as you want. Of course, this fish is also

I didn’t buy it for everyone in my family, but others must leave enough if they want to buy it!”

Xiao Dachun said, "Don't worry about that. The restaurant has reserved two hundred grass carps weighing about three kilograms and carp weighing more than half a kilogram. There are still many left in the pond. I have raised more than a thousand in this pond.

Woolen cloth."

Xiao Wanshan said with a smile, "But these more than a thousand fish of yours have been booked earlier. Okay, just give me ten grass carp, ten carp, and three bighead fish."

These three kinds are what Xiao Jin carp likes to eat.

Xiao Koi likes to eat grass carp chopped into pieces and deep-fried with black bean paste and chili, carp is braised in braise, and bullhead fish heads are used in fish soup.

Xiao Dachun smiled and said, "Okay, you can take it back later."

Xiao Wanshan did not refuse.

Once the water in the pond is so low that you can see the exposed mud, you can start catching fish.

However, because Xiao Jin carp wants to eat loach and tofu, the water needs to be drained out a little more so that the loach can be easily found and caught.

After the water was released for a while, only the small mud puddles with water were left in the pond, and it was no longer released.

At this time, Xiao Dachun waved his hand and said loudly, "Children, you can come down and catch loaches. How many loaches you can catch will determine how much pocket money you can have. You know, such opportunities are rare!"

When the children heard Xiao Dachun's words, they were all excited. They immediately rolled up their trousers and went into the pond one after another. Some even didn't even roll up their trousers and stepped directly into the mud.

The adults in the family saw it and laughed and scolded, "You bastard, you made your clothes so dirty, go home and wash them off yourself."

When Xiao Siquan saw the children going to the ground, he rolled up his trousers and went into the pond.

Xiao Jinli looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xiaoquan, do you know how to find loaches?"

Xiao Siquan, "..." He really didn't know.

He just wants to have fun now.

Xiao Siquan looked around at the children groping excitedly in the pond and said, "I'll see how they catch them first, and then I'll learn from them."

Xiao Jinli nodded and said, "Okay."

Actually, well, she can't catch loaches either.

However, she also watched people catch loaches.

After a while, a child said excitedly, "I heard it, I caught it."

"I caught it too."

Everyone is looking for loaches more energetically.

"Ah, this loach is so slippery that it will slide away as soon as you catch it."

"I...I found a turtle. This turtle is so big."

"Really? Let me see!"

So a group of children ran to see the turtles.

"This turtle is so big. Does it weigh more than a pound?"

"There should be."

"Xiaoqiang, you've made it. This turtle is so expensive. Can you sell this turtle for more than 100 yuan?"

"I don't know either. I'll go home and ask my dad."

"Then put the turtle away first, and don't let it slip away. Otherwise, you will have no money."
