59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chapter 403 Encounter in the square

After Chen Feng and his friends finished their meal, they rode away on their tricycles.

During the three and a half hours that Chen Feng and his group spent fishing, barbecuing and eating, the schools of fish he released had already dispersed, some swimming upstream and some swimming downstream.

The wide river surface and rapid current dispersed the dense schools of fish.

On average, there is only one fish every dozens of square meters, so whether you can catch one really requires patience and luck.

It was precisely because of this realization that Chen Feng told the villagers casually that there were indeed fish in the river.

Ten minutes after they left, the first lucky person was born.

"Dad, I caught a fish, Dad, I caught a fish!"

The first person to catch a fish was a little boy of eight or nine years old. He caught a crucian carp the length of a palm, weighing about seven or eight taels.

“There really is a fish!”

“It must have come from other rivers.”

"That's what I was wondering. How come there are no fish in such a big river?"

It was just this small fish that aroused the enthusiasm of the villagers.

They are not eating the fish, but selling it for money!

A crucian carp costs more than 3 cents per pound!

Compared with Chen Hao and Chen Li who catch a fish every few minutes, the villagers catch fish much more slowly, maybe only every thirty to forty minutes.

The number is not large, but it is much better than the one or two small fish I could catch in a day before.

When a fish is sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, the purchase price ranges from 1 to 3 cents per pound. Crucian carp is the most expensive, which can earn several times more than work points.

It is the slack season for farmers now. The early rice has been planted and the winter wheat will not mature until next month, so everyone has time.

"Thank God!"

"Wrong, thank you Dragon King."

Several villagers laughed.

However, some elderly people are actually praying secretly, thanking God for his favor.

After eating a meal of grilled fish and roasted birds by the river, Chen Li felt a little drowsy and dozed off in Zhang Haixing's arms.

Chen Hao, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan really enjoy going out of town on weekends. Even if they do nothing, they think it is better than playing football in the yard.

Each of them held a slingshot and kept trying to shoot at bushes, scarecrows, etc. on the roadside.

Every time he hit the target, he would show off to Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing.

Instead of going home directly, I rode around the street and treated it as a shopping trip.

There are many people like him who ride bicycles to take their families out for fun.

Enter Zhengyang Gate and take a detour to the Guanshan family’s compound.

Guan Yushan was in the yard, playing chess with some old friends.

"Chen Hao, go down and give the second largest grass carp to the teacher."

"Oh."

The largest grass carp was caught by Chen Li. She wanted to leave it for her grandparents to see, and no one could touch it.

If she woke up and found that her trophy was gone, she would definitely howl for several minutes.

The second largest one was caught by Chen Feng. According to preliminary estimates, it weighed more than twelve kilograms.

Chen Hao carried the big grass carp over and said to Guan Shan respectfully, "Grandpa Guan, my eldest brother asked me to give it to you."

Since Guan Shan was Chen Feng's teacher and had real talent and knowledge, Chen Hao did not dare to show any disrespect to him.

It's okay for him to do whatever he wants at home, but he still knows the ways of the world when entertaining elders, especially in front of outsiders.

Guan Shan glanced at the grass carp, his face calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

"Well, take it back to Sha Zhu and ask him to make it into pickled fish for me, and then give me a bowl."

Several other old people were so envious.

Fresh fish is hard to come by!

Especially this big grass carp.

"Lao Guan, you only want one bowl for such a big fish?"

Guan Shan seemed calm, but he actually showed off: "My foul-mouthed nephew, I wish I could tear that mouth apart, but if I don't give him a word, this guy will probably send more than half of it over here."

"How can I, an old man, eat so much?"

Several elderly people showed contempt.

"Who scolded my stupid nephew in the first place, and now he is the one who is foul-mouthed?"

"Still stupid!" added Guan Shan.

"Be content!"

"that is!"

Several old men said unhappily.

Chen Hao had no choice but to carry the fish back.

"Brother, Grandpa Guan said to make pickled fish for Sha Zhu."

"Okay, got it, get in the car."

Chen Feng actually guessed it was almost the same. Guan Shan couldn't cook. He was content with poverty, but not pedantic.

If you can eat something good, why not let Sha Zhu do it for you?

However, as a student, Chen Feng always has to express his attitude, and at the same time, help to further strengthen the relationship between Lao Guan and Sha Zhu.

This fish can be considered as their interaction.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

Passing by the square, it was already past 1 p.m. Chen Hao spotted Ouyang Qing's family who were also flying kites in the square.

In May, the wind is strong and the sun is warm in the north, which is the best time for flying kites.

There are a lot of people in the square now, many of them are parents accompanying their children to play, and the children are scattered everywhere flying kites.

"Uncle Ouyang, Auntie, Sister Xiaoqing!"

Ouyang Jie was sitting with his wife in the distance. Hearing the voice, he waved to Chen Hao.

"Chen Feng, Chen Hao!"

Ouyang Qing was helping his younger brother Ouyang Feng fly a kite. When he saw Chen Feng and his group, he ignored his brother and trotted over.

Ouyang Feng came over pulling the kite.

"Where did you go to play?"

"Let's go fishing and grill fish by the river." Chen Hao said proudly, "We lost two buckets of fish, and there are still so many left."

Fatty Wang lifted up the fish bucket, revealing the big fish inside.

"Damn it, there is such an interesting thing, and you didn't even call me?" Ouyang Qing's eyes widened.

She likes outdoor sports the most, but her family is strict and wants her to be a lady.

This is difficult to do!

"Sister Xiaoqing, you can't blame us for this. It's your fault for not being in our yard!"

Chen Hao said with some gloating: "How about you tell your uncle to move to our yard."

Ouyang Qing rolled his eyes at him.

Their family had finally moved into an apartment with a bathroom. Only someone crazy would move into a courtyard house. The toilet is so smelly!

"Where did you go fishing? Not in the city, right? The fish in several lakes in the city are almost extinct."

"My dad told me that the Forestry Bureau released fish fry in March. The fish were as small as ants."

This statement is of course an exaggeration!

The small fish fry is still a little bigger than an ant.

The parks in Sijiucheng are under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Bureau, and the lakes in the parks are also under their jurisdiction.

Fish fry are released in March every spring and the big catch is in September every autumn.

"There really aren't any big fish in the city unless you're lucky, but there are still a lot of fish in the rivers outside the city. If you're lucky, you can catch several buckets in a morning."

Chen Feng casually said, "By the way, this is Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, and this is Sister Zhang Xiaohua."

"Hello, my name is Ouyang Qing. If anyone bullies you in school, just tell me my name and I will protect you." Ouyang Qing said proudly.

"Hello, Sister Qing!"

Fatty Wang had long heard of the fame of this big sister from the Red Star Affiliated School.

Many of the students from the big courtyards in the school had been beaten by her, except for the eldest brother Chen Feng, who had the face to avoid being beaten.

"Well, little fat boy, you are so cute!"

Ouyang Qing pinched Wang Kaixuan's fat face, then looked at Chen Li who was sleeping in Zhang Haixing's arms.

"Little Lily is getting prettier and prettier."

"Ah Feng, you have so many fish, give me one."

Ouyang Qing looked at the fish in the bucket and immediately looked at Chen Feng.

"Okay, you can pick whatever you want except the biggest one."

Chen Feng said indifferently.

Ouyang Qing is the original body's best friend. Not to mention the relationship between the elders, just based on the friendship between the two of them, it would be okay for him to just give her a bucket, let alone a fish.

“Why not the big one?”

She wants big ones!

"That was caught by Lily. If you ask for it, she will make you anxious." Chen Feng chuckled.
