    Grandpa pinched the eel¡¯s head like a snake and threw it into the iron bucket, and then poured the crucian carp into the plastic basin one by one.

    "I'll take care of the fish, and you go get the stove out."

    Jiang Tian responded, jumped into the kitchen, took out the coal stove, took two more carbon balls, found some dry bean sprouts, broke them into pieces, and sprinkled them into the stove.

    After getting some corn cobs ready, Jiang Tian returned to the kitchen. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a lighter, so he had no choice but to use matches.

    When I was a child, this kind of match was a good thing. It could light up with just a stroke. There was a time when Jiang Tian especially liked to play with fire. He always wanted something to play with. His grandfather scared him and said that children who play with fire are more likely to fall asleep.  Bedwetting.

    It was just this sentence that stopped him from playing anymore. Later, when he grew up, he naturally realized that this was just a trick to bluff people.

    The match lit the bean pods and put them into the stove. When they were burning vigorously, Jiang Tian broke the corn cobs into three sections and threw them in.

    The flame burned slowly, and Jiang Tian put a few more corn cobs into it. When the fire reached its hottest, he used fire shears to clamp the briquettes and press them on top.

    The small wind blew slowly, blowing the corn cobs through the vents and burning the briquettes.

    After completing the task of applying for fire, Jiang Tian came to his grandfather. He was handling crucian carp. Without raising his head, he said with a smile: "You have built a crucian carp nest. You have brought so many crucian carp back.  If it has been left for a long time, it will definitely be broken.

    Today I will make you a crucian carp soup, make sure it is very fresh. The remaining crucian carp will be marinated with salt and dried. If you want to eat it, you can either fry it or stir-fry it.  "

    Grandpa skillfully removed the internal organs of the crucian carp and threw it into the small pond next to it. There were ducks quacking in the water, and the food was delicious.

    Grandpa smiled and said, "It just so happens that we don't have to let these ducks out today. You should look for duck eggs in the nest."

    Jiang Tian quickly went to the duck nest and found five duck eggs inside.

    "There are really five of them!" Jiang Tian shouted.

    "Exactly, these are fresh duck eggs. Usually these ducks eat small fish and vegetables, which are natural and pollution-free. I will cut some leeks for you later and make fried duck eggs and leeks. That stuff is a great supplement."

    Jiang Tian put the duck eggs in the basket hanging on the beam in the kitchen, and took the bag of salt.

    After a while, grandpa had already cleaned the crucian carp, put part of the crucian carp in a basin, poured salt on it, spread it evenly, went to the kitchen to find a hemp rope, stretched it from the fish's mouth, and strung it into a string.  , and then hung under the eaves to dry.

    Then, grandpa stood in front of the big carp, with his hands on his hips, still feeling amazing, "This fish is a bit too big. I have never seen it in most of my life. I just want to make braised carp for you today."  , it¡¯s broken, the soy sauce may not be enough, you can go to the store and buy some.¡±

    "Okay! If there's anything else you're missing, I'll buy it back together."

    Grandpa went to the kitchen and took a look, "Buy some sugar and cooking wine. You don't need the rest if you already have the rest."

    After receiving the order, Jiang Tian walked out of the small courtyard and walked towards the small shop in front of the village.

    The road is no different from the last time we came here. When it rains, it becomes muddy. Some villagers have paved it with bluestones. Even so, you still need to be careful, otherwise you will step into a mud pit, which will be troublesome.

    Some villagers also proposed to repair the road. After all, this is a main road in the village. However, most of the people left behind are elderly people who are not willing to bother. They just don¡¯t want to spend money, so they have been delayed like this.

    Normally it¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s raining and it¡¯s hard to walk.

    There was an old man chatting at the door of the house. When he saw Jiang Tian, ??even though he didn't know him, he became a topic of conversation. I guess he will not be forgotten for a long time.

    Who does this handsome young man belong to? Is he in a relationship?

    ¡°That¡¯s how it is in the village. It¡¯s okay to talk, as long as it doesn¡¯t go too far.

    There is a wooden sign hanging on the wall of the house in front, with the word "small shop" written on it.

    The wooden sign has been around for a few years. It has been exposed to wind and rain, and the handwriting has faded a lot.

    The small shops in the village build two rooms at the entrance of their own yard and open them up. One is used for sales and the other is used for storage. However, generally speaking, small shops with a relatively small population like Taoshan Village,  There are not many goods coming in.

      "Mom, bring me a bottle of soy sauce, cooking wine, and a bag of white sugar."

    Jiang Tian looked at the products placed on the simple shelves. Compared with those in the city, the variety was pitiful. There were only three or two kinds of instant noodles and bread.

    He asked for a plastic bag and put some Mi San Dao in it. This stuff is very sweet and he loved to eat it when he was a child. Later, he never saw it in big cities. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t exist in big cities, but  There is no such feeling as when I was a child.

    Now that I see it, it seems a bit friendly.

    The shop lady weighed the Mi Sandao and said, "The total is ten yuan and fifty cents. I'll give you the change."

    "Thank you, auntie!" Jiang Tian paid ten yuan. This is a mountain village, and the signal is very poor, let alone mobile payment.

    He was walking on the road carrying a plastic bag, and an old man was holding a cow to prepare for a trip to the plowed fields.

    Jiang Tian saw a lot of people standing in front of his grandfather's house from a distance. It was noisy and he laughed. It must be people in the village who heard that he had caught such a long carp. They wanted to see it as a surprise, so they came to watch the fun.  .

    After walking in, I heard these people talking non-stop.

    "Old Mingtou actually caught such a big fish, no wonder Er Laizi took a fancy to it."

    "He is not easy to mess with. It looks like this big carp is about to change hands."

    Jiang Tian quickly pushed aside the villagers watching the excitement and squeezed in.

    I saw three people standing in the yard. Grandpa was holding a kitchen knife with fish scales on it. He was obviously preparing to handle the big carp.

    Opposite him were two men, one as thin as a bamboo pole and the other with a stooped waist.

    Grandpa said angrily, "You two bastards, what are you doing? This is a fish caught by my grandson, not yours. Get out of here."

    The second laizi was hunched over, with a weathered face, looking like a rogue, "Who said that, my son and I finally caught this big carp from the reservoir. It was a waste of the efforts of nine cattle and two tigers.  Just thinking about it, it was stolen by your thief grandson."

    The three cripples pointed at the big carp, "That's right, look at the scales on this fish. I even took off a piece of it. Of course we have to take it away."

    "Ah!" Grandpa spat out, "You two are so lazy that you are so lazy that you have even laid waste the farmland at home, and you still go to the reservoir to catch fish? You dare to say that my grandson is a thief, don't you think I won't cut it anymore?  You guys!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
