He closed the door.
Aunt Wang stormed into the courtyard and hit Jiang Shunwang, who was smoking in the rattan chair.
"Why did you hit me?"
Jiang Shunwang, who was happily smoking a pack of cigarettes, was dumbfounded.
"Tomorrow, you go fishing in the river too!”
"Fishing? What fish? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Shunwang was confused by these words.
"You! You only know how to plant the crops in the fields every day. You can't even eat pork for half a month.”
Jiang Shunwang was speechless." Why don't farmers plant crops? Are you out of your mind?!"”
"Li Xia next door doesn't grow crops. Even though he's a street thug, he's also very capable. Now, he catches the fish in the river and sells them in the county town. He makes much more money than you do by planting crops!”
"What? Fishing? Selling in the county? Really?"
"How can that be fake? He said it himself. Think about how many fish there are to sell with a cart!”
Jiang Shunwang was dumbfounded and stopped smoking.
After a long time, he said," Which one of Shangrong Village hasn't gone fishing before? Live fish cost 70 to 80 cents per catty!"”
"But the problem is that the fish in the river are like monkeys who have become intelligent. It's difficult to catch them. If we can catch fish, you don't have to say!”
Aunt Wang snorted,"Why can you catch it from that street?"”
"How would I know!"
"I think you're useless! No ability! Humph! Following you will only make me suffer!"
"You unreasonable woman, I can't be bothered to talk to you!”
……
Jiang Shunwang was filled with anger. He stopped washing his feet and went back to his room to lie on the bed, ignoring the unreasonable woman.
……
Li Xia carried the fishing rod to the river and started fishing at night.
After fishing for two days, Li Xia was gradually exploring the river and understanding the fish in the river.
Only by constantly analyzing and accumulating experience could one more accurately grasp the habits and patterns of fish, and fishing would be more convenient.
Li Xia's title of fishing expert was not for nothing. The reed marsh fishing spot he had found at the beginning was indeed a rare good fishing spot.
There were many aquatic plants here, and the water was turbid. Fish were willing to stay in such a place.
At this fishing spot, the distribution range and number of wild Crucian Carps were much higher than other fish species.
He could fish for a few more days. When the stock decreased, he would change fishing spots.
The temperature at night was suitable, and the effect of night fishing was better than that of daytime.
Therefore, Li Xia chose to fish at night.
During the day, he could use his time to think about other ways to earn money.
After three hours of hard work, they had collected 810 catties.
The bamboo basket was just full, and it wouldn't be able to fit another one.
When he came out, Li Xia was carrying two bamboo baskets.
There was also a bamboo basket, which naturally contained the goods from the underground cage.
There were a total of ten cages.
Li Xia untied the ropes and pulled them up one by one. He felt like he was opening a blind box and was filled with excitement.
After a day and a night of accumulation, the shrimp, crab, eel, and loach in the underground cage were already saturated.
"Whoa! It's really heavy!"
Li Xia weighed the cage in his hand. It weighed seven to eight pounds.
Most of them are river shrimps.
However, there were a large number of river snails and small fish, which occupied a certain proportion of the weight.
Some cages even had turtles.
Li Xia poured everything into the bamboo basket.
A rough estimate was that the value of ten cages would not be less than thirty dollars.
It was also a considerable income.
With two large bamboo baskets, Li Xia carried one and carried the other back home.
At home, Chu Mengxi and the two milk dumplings had not gone to bed yet.
She had eaten too much for dinner and couldn't sleep too early.
Chu Mengxi was sewing clothes by the oil lamp.
Other than the two little fellows 'clothes, there was also Li Xia's.
Li Xia put down the bamboo basket, pushed the door open, and turned on the lights.
"There are electric lights at home. Don't use kerosene lamps.”
Li Xia said gently.
"The electricity bill is quite expensive."
Chu Mengxi extinguished the oil lamp. She was used to being thrifty.
Li Xia was speechless. Was his eyes more important than the electricity bill?
"Be careful next time."
"Oh."
The two kids were playing rock-paper-scissors at the side. When they saw Li Xia return, they ran over and rubbed their heads against his pants.
"Daddy, play with us!”
"Papa, Nuannuan wants to ride a big horse!”
Chu Mengxi frowned." Daddy has been busy all day. I'm tired. Don't torment Daddy."”
"I'm not tired. We're only at this point. Come, Duoduo and Nuannuan, let's play a game.”
"Oh! Daddy is so good!"
Li Xia played with the two kids for more than half an hour.
"Alright, it's about time. Duo Duo and Nuan Nuan, it's time to sleep.”
After Chu Mengxi finished mending her clothes, she noticed that it was getting late.
Gulp ~!
Gulp ~!
Suddenly, her stomach rumbled in the room.
Chu Mengxi was speechless. The two little fellows were actually hungry from playing.
" Duoduo is hungry!"
"Nuannuan too!"
Chu Mengxi was speechless.
She glared at Li Xia and said,""Why are you playing so crazily with the two little ones?”
Li Xia shrugged and smiled." The children are just hungry. They eat when they're hungry. It's fine. I'll go get them something to eat."”
Chu Mengxi said,"You've raised their appetites.”
"It's good that they're grown up. They can only get fat if they eat more. Look at the two little fellows. They're so thin, like bean sprouts.”
Chu Mengxi stopped talking. She couldn't win against Li Xia.
It was troublesome to start a fire on the stove and cook. Li Xia remembered that he had not taken out the malted milk that he had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just nice, I'll make a cup of it before going to bed. It's nutritious and healthy.
Li Xia was holding a red and white iron can in his hand. The two milk dumplings ran over curiously.
" Daddy, what is this?!"
"Papa! What's that good stuff in your hand?"
"Malt Milk Essence, it's delicious to drink with water.”Li Xia said with a smile.
Chu Mengxi looked at the jar of malted milk and opened her mouth but did not say anything.
Malt Milk Essence was quite expensive and was a high-end product.
Usually, during festivals and important human relationships, he would only buy malted milk essence as a gift.
How could an ordinary family bear to drink it?
The children were hungry, so Chu Mengxi wanted to heat up two sweet potatoes for them to eat.
However, she suddenly remembered Li Xia's words. The two milk dumplings were too thin and indeed needed nutrition.
Then I'll drink malted milk…
The shape of the malted milk essence was very similar to the chicken essence of the later generations.
It was made by germinating, baking, and then adding butter, milk powder, condensed milk, glucose, and other raw materials according to the proportion.
Li Xia took three bowls and soaked them in warm water.
In an instant, a thick milk fragrance spread out.
"Wow! It smells so good!"
The two little ones were about to drool.
Because it was brewed with warm water, it was not hot.
One bowl for each of them and distributed to the two little fellows.
"Honey, have a bowl too."
Li Xia passed the third bowl to Chu Mengxi.
"Ah? I won't drink it. Let the little ones drink it. They need nutrition.”
Chu Mengxi shook her head. She could not bear to drink it.
"Daren also needs nutrition." Li Xia stuffed the bowl into Chu Mengxi's hands.
Chu Mengxi was speechless.
Actually, Chu Mengxi had never drunk this malted milk before, so she took a sip.
It had the fragrance of wheat sprout and tasted like milk powder.
It was indeed quite delicious.
Chu Mengxi drank half of it while Li Xia drank the other half.
Li Xia only made three bowls of malted milk. He had no intention of making it for himself.
How could Chu Mengxi not know?
The two milk dumplings finished their drinks happily, and their lips were stained with a layer of white.
Chu Mengxi wiped the mouths of the two milk dumplings while Li Xia took out the peach cakes he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The four of them each ate a piece of sweet and crispy peach cake before falling asleep in satisfaction.
