Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Chapter 386 Returning with a Full Load

The women also returned with a lot of goods, including wild onions, ginger, garlic, chicken greens, water spinach, some wild peppers and mushrooms, which were more or less enough as side dishes for lunch. They also picked up a lot of firewood.

He Daqing and Shazhu did not hesitate to kill the fish and prepare. This time, they focused on using local materials. Everyone brought some coarse grain steamed bread, and the street office contributed a pot of oil, a bottle of soy sauce, and a few bags of salt. This was the most they could give now. After all, the street office also managed the elderly, children, orphans, and martyrs' families in an area, as well as the welfare home they jointly ran. Their supplies were not enough to cover their expenses.

A kettle of oil, a bottle of soy sauce and a few packets of salt are the maximum authority Director Wang can give. If there are more, the accounts cannot be balanced.

That's all. I'll have to give her a few more fish when I go back to settle the account.

Xu Damao did not go fishing, just kidding, but contributed 10 kilograms of "Xu's secret fish feed". This is no joke, the cost is very high!

Not to mention it cost a point.

Xu Damao only has 57 points left, and he dares not use them carelessly.

I estimate that a few kilograms of the 10 kilograms of fish feed will be used today, and the rest will be divided up. Let's see if these anglers can achieve more success after they go back and go to Beihai Park to catch some fish.

As usual, Xu Damao gave out fish feed, so there was no need to go fishing. He could also prioritize distributing some fish when he returned later and see how many fish would be left in the end.

In a short while, He Daqing and his friends prepared wild pepper fish hot pot, boiled fish fillet, wild pepper fish head, mushroom stewed fish, braised fish cubes...

It’s a whole fish feast!

The smell here attracted cadres from the nearby villages and reservoir managers. The people over there didn't want to take advantage of it, so they brought a few bottles of white wine, steamed bread, some potatoes, and homemade tofu skin and yuba and added them to the pot. Sixty or seventy people ate their fill next to the reservoir!

He Daqing and Sha Zhu's cooking skills are beyond compare and everyone praised them for what they ate.

In the afternoon, a group of villagers and reservoir management personnel also came to fish nearby, but after more than two hours of fishing, they caught nothing!

Finally they realized it was because of the bait, so the reservoir manager made up his mind and gave up half of the fish as originally planned, and instead gave half of the bait.

Xu Damao said it didn't matter, since there were still more than 6 kilograms left and he wouldn't need so much in a day of fishing.

Finally, the two parties reached a friendly agreement. Xu Damao also helped them find places with many fish. They could use the bait sparingly and did not dare to make such a large nest. After all, Xu Damao and his men would leave in the afternoon. It would be no problem for them to use the bait sparingly for a few days as the temperature is also low now.

The whole afternoon passed, until the sun was about to set, when everyone reluctantly put away their poles.

In the end, the people led by Director Wang still had more than 120 fish left, estimated to be around 200 kilograms, while the villagers and reservoir managers also caught more than 40 fish in the afternoon. Anyway, everyone had a great time fishing today.

But because of the comparison, I also understand that these are all thanks to the bait.

If they came here in this cold weather to fish with red worms, even if there were fish in the reservoir, they would be considered lucky if they could catch two or three fish a day, weighing about one kilogram.

In the evening, everyone had a meal with the leftovers from lunch, some fish, potatoes and wild vegetables, and then set off back to Sijiu City.

It was not until around 9 o'clock in the evening that everyone returned to Nanluoguxiang.

Today we had a great harvest. Apart from the 10 kilograms of fish to settle the account with the street office, the gas money for the two truck drivers (each person shared) and 5 kilograms of fish each, Xu Damao got 20 kilograms of fish for the bait. Each person got nearly 3 kilograms of fish. Although it is not much, they were full for the two meals today. Then each person got some wild vegetables and bait, which was enough for them to go fishing for a few more days. Overall, it was not a loss.

It can be said that today everyone is having more fun eating and playing than during the Chinese New Year.

A few days later, in mid-February, the first batch of vertically planted vegetables had grown out. Although not as well and in large quantities as those grown in the fields, at least if you pay a little attention, it is not a problem to add a few pots of vegetables a week.

And the most important thing is that you no longer have to go to the hills in the suburbs to dig wild vegetables. Now more and more people are digging wild vegetables, and in some places even the bark of the trees is peeled off.

Seeing the effectiveness of three-dimensional planting in Nanluoguxiang, they began to gradually promote it, at least giving residents more vegetable leaves on their dinner tables.

Director Wang was commended by his superiors for this incident. He originally wanted to push Xu Damao out, but he said that he had no worries about food and drink, and if he "exposed" himself at this time, it might have the opposite effect, which would not be worth the loss.

The remaining secret baits allowed Yan Bugui and others to run wild in Beihai Park for a whole week. Not to mention much, it was not a problem to catch three or four kilograms of fish every day.

This made the surrounding anglers who had caught nothing very envious, but when they heard that the bait also required sesame oil, white wine and cornmeal, they all kept silent.

The cost is too high.

Yan Bugui did ask about the formula and so on, but Xu Damao emphasized that the most important thing is to make a nest. The cost of the bait itself is so high, so why is it necessary to make a nest?

Therefore, Yan Bugui did not prepare the bait himself, as he was really reluctant to do so.

In the end, the matter of the bait was left unresolved.

The days in February were relatively ordinary. The best news for Xu Damao was that after Xiao Dangji could say "Auntie", he could also call "Dad". Xu Damao was very happy.

In this life, without the education of Jia Zhangshi, Xiaodang lived a rich and happy life since childhood, so naturally he would not become like in the original drama.

Compared with sons, Xu Damao still likes daughters. Daughters should be raised in wealth.

Anyway, Xiaodang is now a chubby little kid with a rosy face. He is very cute and quirky.

On weekdays, when Qin Huairu went to work, she was taken care of by Widow Zhang. There were many people in the courtyard. When it was night, Qin Huairu got off work, Qin Jingru also came back from school, and with Hu Zi, the courtyard was very lively.

Xu Damao would still go over from time to time - to improve his life. After all, back home, Lou Xiao'e, his mother, was always busy taking care of her four kids all day long. Even if he wanted to be intimate with Lou Xiao'e, he didn't have the time.

In addition, He Yushui was still living in the back house next door, studying non-stop every day, Yu Haitang would come over from time to time to do homework together with them, and eat something good to supplement nutrition, and He Daqing was still occupying the kitchen...

It can be said that there are too many people and it is too noisy in the Xu family’s courtyard now, making it inconvenient to do anything.

After all, Li Mingmei's place is an embassy, ​​and Xu Damao cannot visit often. Liu Lan now has three children, and Liu Lan's mother-in-law also takes care of the children every day.

Therefore, the only place Xu Damao could come to was the courtyard on Heizhima Hutong.

Today, no one knows what happened to Qin Huairu and Widow Zhang, but the two of them went to bed together, shared the same bed, and served Xu Damao very well.

When their love reached its peak, Qin Huairu brought up the matter of having a child again. Widow Zhang lay in Xu Damao's arms, looking at him with sparkling eyes - she wanted one too.

Xu Damao made up his mind and thought, it’s just a child, I can afford to raise it!

Come on then!

I don’t need this bag that will end my family lineage!
