Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

As the fishing line was pulled up, Zhao Yeqing saw a fish bigger than the first bass she caught.

The body of the fish is golden brown, the belly is snow-white, and there are no scales on the whole body.

Mu Xi grabbed the fish's mouth and took off the hook. The fishhook made of sewing needles was almost straight.

"If we struggle for a while longer, we will probably be detached."

The golden color of the fish's body looked very dazzling in the sunlight. Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but sigh,

“What a beautiful fish, but I’ve never seen it before.”

Mu Xi also shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."

Their knowledge of cold-water fish that can live in plateau lakes is indeed relatively scarce.

Generally speaking, similar to the common tilapia and freshwater white pomfret, these are hot water fish. The water temperature is below 12 degrees and they can hardly survive.

In addition to groundwater, the water in plateau lakes also contains melted snow water from snow-capped mountains. The temperature is low all year round and the fish species are also relatively unique.

Zhao Yeqing looked across the lake and saw the towering peaks in the distance. If the weather had not been abnormal, the mountains would have been covered with snow on weekdays.

Mu Xi put the fish into the bucket and put away the rod, "That's enough to eat."

Zhao Yeqing caught three fish, a large one weighing more than a kilogram of bass, and two small ones that were the same kind of scaleless carp he caught last time, about six to seven taels each.

Mu Xi, an unknown fish, is more than thirty centimeters long and weighs three kilograms when lifted.

It's enough for two people.

Zhao Yeqing put the fish in a bucket and raised it with water brought back from the lake.

Mu Xi began to deal with the grass that was cut in the morning.

There are about 40 bags of silage left, each bag weighing 80 pounds. The mixed hay can last the sheep two months.

Recently I have made a few packages sporadically.

Mu Xi lowered his head and looked at the temperature display on his watch. The high temperature, which was originally over 40 degrees, was now only 31 or 2 degrees.

At this rate, it will probably only take a short time for the weather to completely cool down.

The reserve of pasture needs to be accelerated.

Zhao Yeqing took out the seeds and showed him,

"I plan to make two more grass circles and plant more forage. Corn grass is also a high-yielding forage. It is not drought-tolerant but cold-tolerant. It is a good time to plant it now."

After saying that, she opened another bag and said, "There is also this large-leaved fast-growing locust tree. I want to plant some, although I don't know if I can plant it successfully... I originally wanted to take it home and plant it next to the bayberry tree. On the lowland meadows..."

Mu Xi took the root system of the large-leaf fast-growing Sophora japonica and said, "Try planting it first. Once you have experience, you can take back the fresh roots that have been successfully planted. It won't take long."

Zhao Yeqing adjusted her emotions and smiled. She just missed her grandparents a little.

It was still early now, only around three o'clock in the afternoon, so Mu Xi said something and went out to cut the grass.

Zhao Yeqing took out the wooden plow from the tool room, took Xiao Hong and went out.

The original owner's planting land was in the direction of the lake and near a creek that converged into the lake.

When Zhao Yeqing arrived at the place, the planting area was already covered with lush green grass buds.

It's better to dig deeper.

Zhao Yeqing put the wooden plow on Xiao Hong, leaving the reins very long. She stood behind and supported the wooden plow, shook the reins gently, and Xiao Hong started to move forward.

A wooden plow has an iron shovel attached to the bottom. The shovel is inserted into the soil and carried forward, and the flat land is turned over.

This was her first time actually operating this plow. The plow was not very stable and a little crooked. She gradually gained experience and gradually straightened it out in the second half of the journey.

There were almost no stones at the bottom, and the plow was very fast. Xiaohong was also very obedient, and she knew she had to turn around just by tugging on the reins.

But after turning around, he was unwilling to move.

Zhao Yeqing let go of the plow, walked to the front and touched its head, "What's wrong?"

Xiaohong's head turned to the side.

Zhao Yeqing walked over with understanding, picked up a handful of grass and came over and handed it to its mouth.

Xiao Hong moved her nose and rolled the grass into her mouth.

This time Zhao Yeqing went back to hold the rope, and Xiao Hong was willing to leave.

She had previously envisioned expanding some wheat planting land so that both wheat and highland barley land could reach half an acre.

One acre of land is more than 600 square meters, and half an acre is nearly 300 square meters.

The width of the plow is only two palms wide. According to her speed, it would take a day to plow half an acre of land.

After only plowing a few times, it was already dark. Zhao Yeqing untied the plow and led Xiaohong home.

When I got home, the aroma of food was already coming from the kitchen.

Mu Xi poked his head out and saw dust on her clothes. He wiped his hands and walked out.

He took the wooden plow from Zhao Yeqing's hand and took it to the well behind the house. He washed the soil off with water before returning to the kitchen.

After Zhao Yeqing tied up Xiaohong, he washed his face and walked into the kitchen.

The meal is ready.

Mu Xi opened the lid of the pot, and there were two plates inside. On the plates were two steamed fish.

One is the scaleless carp that Zhao Yeqing talked about before and the golden brown fish that Mu Xi caught today.

Mu Xi took out both plates and started seasoning.

Sprinkle some soy sauce on the scaleless carp, shred the green onion, place it on the fish, pour hot oil on it, and make a sizzling sound.

Mu Xi took another small pot with boiled scallion oil in it and put it on the fire to heat it.

Another piece of golden brown fish is sprinkled with a large amount of shredded green onion, and the hot green onion oil is poured on top.

The two steamed fish are ready.

Zhao Yeqing picked up the scaleless carp first. She couldn't wait to try it to see if the steamed one was better than the braised one.

The fish meat is so tender that it falls apart with just a light poke.

Pick it up and put it in your mouth. It is indeed more delicious than the braised one. The meat is extremely fresh and sweet. With the saltiness of soy sauce, the sweetness is amplified exponentially.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't wait to reach out his chopsticks to another fish.

The first reaction is tenderness.

The fish is even more tender than the one just now.

When you poke a piece of the fish from the previous fish, you can see that the meat inside is like a small garlic clove.

The meat of this fish is so delicate that it is almost not organized. The fish skin is full of gelatin. When you poke it open with chopsticks, you can still see the jelly-like belly.

Zhao Yeqing carefully picked up the fish meat, and the meat trembled 'duang~duang' on the chopsticks.

Put it gently into your mouth, and as soon as you feel the fish meat on your tongue, the fish meat has already melted in your mouth.

The scallion oil prepared by Mu Xi is the taste of Shanghai Province. It is fresh and sweet, and is extremely harmonious with the fresh and sweet fish.

Zhao Yeqing felt that he had spent half his life in vain.

Such a delicious fish, why not breed it?

Zhao Yeqing was almost crying.

It is so delicious that it may be a technical problem not to breed it, but it does not get caught and sold in the market. There is only one reason.

This thing is probably some kind of protected animal.
