Chapter 31 Fishing

Chen Bing nodded in agreement, and Chen Xingzu opened the curtain at this time and entered the room, saying: "Meiniang, I have invited the Cowherd back."

Ye Meiniang hurriedly stepped aside, leaned down and said, "I feel sorry for bothering Niu Langzhong to make another trip, but Dalang's fever is very severe. I can't worry about it. I hope Niu Langzhong will take care of him."

Niu Langzhong glanced at Chen Bing, Chen Bing shook his head slightly at him, and then Niu Langzhong said: "It's just a small effort, so why bother saying thank you. My dear, don't be impatient for now. After I take my pulse, I will tell what Dalang is suffering from."

What a disease."

After checking his pulse, the Cowherd nodded and said: "Xingzu, go and change the water in this basin first. Remember to change it to something cooler. Does Meiniang have corn at home? If so, hurry up and give it to Dalang.

Boil some and eat it to nourish your stomach."

After both of them came out of the west room, Niu Langzhong asked Chen Bing in a low voice: "Second mother, you must have checked your brother's pulse. Okay, please tell me first what the pulse is? What is the disease? How should I prepare the medicine?"

Chen Bing said: "My brother's pulse is hot, fast and weak, but strong. It should be a floating tree vein. It should be that he caught the wind and cold when he was looking for me, which caused external evils to enter the body. I happened to pick some goosegrass today.

, mix it with honeysuckle, pound it into pieces and boil it in water, and you will be cured after drinking it for a few times.”

The Cowherd held out his thumb, said "good" three times, and praised: "What Er Niang said is very good, and it is very suitable for the disease. Since you have checked your brother's pulse, have you told your father and mother?"

Have you studied medicine with me?"

"My brother is sick, so I naturally have to check his pulse and treat him. Don't blame me among the cowherds. I only thought about curing my brother at that time. As for the promise to you, I have long forgotten it. But

My father and mother just don't believe that I have medical skills, and they also say that I shouldn't make trouble unreasonably. Oh, this makes me very troubled." Chen Bing said with some embarrassment.

Niu Langzhong responded: "This is the most normal thing. Who would have thought that a girl who is only thirteen years old knows medical skills? Don't take it to heart. It will all work out in the future."

The two of them had not spoken a few words. Chen Xingzu had already entered the house with a wooden basin filled with water. Niu Langzhong asked him to put a cool white cloth on Chen Tingyao's forehead again. Ye Meiniang also entered the house at this time. Niu Langzhong opened the prescription and said.

"Xingzu Meiniang, Da Lang just suffered from the cold, it's nothing serious. Don't worry. I'll prescribe a prescription, so there's no need to come to my place to get medicine. Today, Er Niang picked the cow's tendon grass."

Very good medicinal materials, mixed with honeysuckle decoction, Dalang will be fine after a few drinks. Okay, I'm going back now, Er Niang, take good care of your brother."

After Chen Bing said yes, he sent Cowherd out of the courtyard, then took out the cowherd that was still in the basket, and followed Ye Meiniang into the kitchen. Her mother and daughter were busy working in tandem, Ye Meiniang

Looking at the corn porridge cooking on the stove, Chen Bing had to fry the medicine from two bowls of water into one bowl of water. This was quite labor-intensive. Fortunately, both of them were prudent people, and after a little while

At that time, Ye Meiniang and Chen Bing entered the west room together carrying corn porridge and soup.

After serving Chen Tingyao to eat porridge and drink medicine, Chen Bing and Ye Meiniang also lay down on the bed respectively. Chen Bing had climbed the mountain for a day and was exhausted. In addition, he had run all the way down the mountain from Guzhu Mountain, and his legs were even more sore.

Unfortunately, just when she was about to fall asleep, Chen Xingzu was lying on the floor and said to Chen Bing: "Second mother, I think you should go fishing tomorrow."

When Chen Bing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He wanted me to go fishing? Then after thinking for a while, he understood Chen Xingzu's intention and said, "It's dad, I will go fishing tomorrow morning."

Chen Xingzu nodded and said, "Then Er Niang will have to work hard tomorrow. Dalang is ill and won't be able to plow the land tomorrow. Although the Chen family doesn't have much land, they still need to plant some beans. I'll just plow this land."

You are still young and may not be able to lift a big trawl net. Before you leave for Taihu Lake tomorrow, take the small net behind the woodshed with you. If you replace it with this net, you can lift it. Okay, it's all done

Go to sleep, I've been busy all day today. I'm really tired."

Before Chen Xingzu could finish what he said, Chen Bing had already met Duke Zhou. Early the next morning, Chen Bing still got up early. After doing Tai Chi, she went to the woodshed and turned out the card.

It was a very old small net. Chen Bing sighed in his heart: "It seems that this small net has not been used for a long time. I don't know if it can be used. Hey, I can't care about it now. Dad has gone out to the fields."

, I have to work hard to catch fish."

Chen Bing, who had never fished alone before, was very uneasy. He was afraid that he would not be able to do well. Originally, he came with his father when fishing, and he just helped him. Now he has to do it all by himself, and he feels very worried.

She was nervous. After Chen Bing got on the boat, somehow her mood suddenly calmed down. She rocked the oar, accompanied by the flying gulls and herons, and followed the exclusive secret method of finding fish taught by her father, and rowed towards the depths of Taihu Lake.

.

After paddling a short distance away, some fishermen who had set off earlier had already stopped the boat and started to lower their nets. Chen Bing did not follow the current, but still rowed in with the oar, thinking: "Look for the fish stars when looking for fish.

There is a level of fish in the fish star. The upper part is clear and the lower part is turbid, and there are fish. The big green fish lives here. According to dad's method of finding fish, we should go further in. How can these people catch big fish by casting their nets in this shallow place?

"

The rising sun was already halfway up in the sky, and the sunlight shining down fell on the vast Taihu Lake. The gulls and herons that were flying in the sky no longer followed Chen Bing, and she had already rowed the boat deep into the lake.

Fish Spot, there were no other fishing boats around. And she was sitting on the bow, rolling up the big net on the original boat, looking at the seemingly endless Taihu Lake in front of her, with infinite emotion in her heart, as if she was floating on the sea, catching a dragon in a boat, and again

It is said that the sky is floating in the sky and the sea is far away, and fishing is light in a small boat. The moon in the water is in Zen silence, and eyes thousands of miles away are clear.

After Chen Bing made all preparations, she took the small net and prayed secretly. Then she threw the fishing net out with her left hand, and pulled the other end of the fishing net with her right hand and pulled it back in a circle. The fishing net moved in the air.

It opened gracefully and fell into the lake like a big pot lid. After waiting for a few breaths, Chen Bing held the net rope tightly in his hand. Just after holding it in for a while, he suddenly felt that there was a strong force of the net rope in his hand.

Chen Bing had little strength, so she simply sat in the boat, kicking her feet on the side of the boat. With the power of her feet, she retracted the net in her hand bit by bit until it was all in the boat.

Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the fishing net, and it turned out that what she caught was a big carp and two big silver carp. The silver carp itself is not valuable, but the silver carp in Taihu Lake is different from the silver carp in other waters.

Taihu silver carp does not have an earthy smell, and the fish head is very suitable for making soup. However, the silver carp in other waters has a strong smell and is difficult to swallow if it is not cooked well. Therefore, Taihu silver carp is very popular in the market.

After the second net was thrown out, Chen Bing waited for five breaths before retrieving the net. As he was collecting it, Chen Bing suddenly felt something was wrong. The originally very light fishing net was suddenly dragged downwards by a strong force.

Bing was caught off guard and grabbed the net rope. Not to mention the impact of the fish in the net was very huge, and they all stabbed in one direction, making Chen Bing almost unable to grasp the net rope. She learned her lesson.

, wound the net rope around his wrist a few times, then pressed his feet hard against the side of the boat, and used both hands at the same time, but he could not pull up the fishing net. The fish in the water and Chen Bing had already formed a tug-of-war.

potential.

Chen Bing knew that this was a critical moment, and he must not let go. He thought to himself: "This fish is so strong, so it is definitely not a small fish. It will definitely fetch a good price if it is sent to the county. No matter how strong the fish is, it will definitely fetch a good price."

After all, he is inferior to others. As long as I hold on tight and don't let go, he will be caught by me eventually." After another half cup of tea, the fish's strength really decreased. Chen Bing was overjoyed and slowly exerted his strength.

Lifting up the net rope and putting all the fishing nets on board, Chen Bing couldn't wait to open the fishing net to see what kind of fish she had caught. She was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she caught an orange-red fish all over the body.

Red tail whitewater fish.

Looking at the big golden white water fish that was still jumping on the board and was longer than his own arm, Chen Bing felt a sense of unreality in his heart. He looked at the fish blankly and murmured to himself:

"This is the red-tailed whitewater fish that dad has always wanted to catch? Why am I so lucky that I caught it?" Chen Bing picked up the whitewater fish, weighed it in his hands, and then carefully

The fish was worth a lot of money, and I thought that I had to take the fish to the county town and sell it as soon as possible. If it died, it would be worthless. Thinking of this, I speeded up the oar in my hand and rowed towards the village.

Chen Bing was excited. She heard her father say that this red-tailed whitewater fish is rare. Fishermen on Taihu Lake all dream of catching this fish. It is said that its meat is more tender than ordinary whitewater fish. As for why it is more

It was delicious, but her father had never eaten it, so naturally he couldn't explain why, so she didn't know either. She only knew that this fish was extremely rare, extremely difficult to catch, and extremely valuable.

When Chen Bing rowed to the shallow water area, there were more fishing boats than when he came. Li Jia Silang was also a good fisherman in Huahu Village. When he saw that Er Niang had been gone for only an hour, he took the boat to the shallow water area.

The fishing boat rowed back, and he wanted to see her catch, so he rowed the boat next to Er Niang and asked: "Er Niang, why did you come back so soon? Did you catch something rare and good?"

As he spoke, he peeked at Haidou on Chen Bing's boat.

Chen Bing is a smart person. Originally, she did keep the white water fish in the sea bucket, but then she thought about how she would have to pass the fishermen in the shallow water area when she went back. This white water fish would definitely be discovered.

If a greedy person directly robs the fish openly, how can he survive because he is a girl and his skills and strength are vastly different? Then he puts the white water fish into the water tank under the ship's plank and covers it with a plank.

Nothing could be seen, except for the big carp and two big silver carp that were put into the sea bucket.

Chen Bing smiled at Li Jia Si Lang and said: "What are you talking about, Brother Si Lang? You don't know what kind of fish there are in Taihu Lake. Hehe, my fishing skills are far behind yours. Well, you

Look, there are only carp and silver carp in this sea bucket, they are ordinary things, nothing special."

Seeing that Li Jiashilang was quite disappointed, he asked: "There are only three fishes. They can't be sold for much money. How come the second mother is back?"

Chen Bing had already thought about his words and said: "My brother was ill yesterday and he couldn't plow the fields today. So my father went to plow the fields for him, and I went out to fish for him. I was anxious.

Due to my brother's condition, I didn't have much time to continue fishing, so I hurried back with these three fish so that I could go home and take care of my brother." Although Chen Bing's words were just rhetoric, they were also true, and she truly believed in her heart.

I was also worried about Chen Tingyao's health, so what I said was sincere.

Li Jiashilang said "Oh" and said: "Second mother, please go back quickly. It doesn't matter if you miss fishing for a day, but your brother's health is more important."

After Chen Bing thanked him, he rowed to the shore. Looking at Chen Bing's leaving figure, Li Jiasilang felt quite emotional in his heart. He shook his head and said to himself: "She is such a good little lady, but why don't she like Mei De?"

What a talent. Hey."
