    Since two people brought it here, of course they need to clean it up themselves.

    Jiang Tian first found an iron basin and a few plastic buckets, and then brought a few plastic baskets from the kitchen. Dong Shihao painted the three large water tanks placed under the eaves.

    First, put all kinds of fish in the iron basin, pour in clean water, change the water for them, pick out the half-dead fish, and put the rest into the water tank, and process them later.

    Then I threw the slippery things such as loaches and eels into the plastic bucket. I also changed the water, but kept them here for the time being.

    Then, Jiang Tian poured two large nets of river mussels into the iron basin. The clear water was instantly dyed black and mixed with a lot of grass roots.

    I changed the water back and forth several times. When the water was clear, I stopped and let the clam vomit the sediment in the iron basin.

    After finishing these tasks, it was already more than half an hour later, and Jiang Tian was so tired that he could not stand up straight. This was not a light job.

    He rubbed his sore waist and sat on a chair to rest before working again.

    Grandpa came out of the kitchen, knocked on the fish and shrimp in the large and small pots in the yard, and said with a smile: "Are you ready to think about how to eat it?"

    Jiang Tian shook his head, "There are too many. Now I regret that I just followed this guy to catch fish and shrimp in a hurry, and I brought back so much that I couldn't finish it."

    "You got four-fifths of this, so take it all with you when you leave."

    Dong Shihao thought, "It's not impossible to take it away, but even after taking it back, I don't know how to eat it. After all, I am going back to the company directly, and there is no aunt there to cook for me."

    "Don't you cook for yourself?" Grandpa asked.

    Dong Shihao was a little embarrassed, "I'm too busy, so I usually order takeout. When I'm at home, the food cooked by my aunt is delicious, so I often eat what she cooks."

    Jiang Tian silently added: In fact, he just doesn¡¯t know how to cook and is too lazy to learn.

    Grandpa shook his head, "That's not okay. I saw it on TV. You can't see how those takeaways are made or what materials are used. The news also said that some small shops are black workshops and use  It¡¯s waste oil.¡±

    "It's not good to eat takeout honestly. Let's do this. I'll drown all these crucian carp and dry them in the sun. It's easier to carry and you can eat it for a long time. If you eat carp, it will be fresh. If you keep it for a long time, the taste will change.  That¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll fry some carp pieces for you, and then you can eat it directly or put some sauce on it.¡±

    "There aren't too many crabs and shrimps. I'll steam them for you later."

    "As for river mussels, forget it, spit out the muddy water first, Jiang Tian, ??you and I can clean up these crucian carp."

    "Ah!" Jiang Tian screamed, those are crucian carp in two tanks, how long will it take to deal with them?

    "Who asked you to get so many." Grandpa went to the kitchen.

    On the side, Dong Shihao said sheepishly: "Let me help too."

    Jiang Tian hit him mercilessly: "You'd better rest, otherwise you won't be able to clean it properly, and what if your internal organs come out when you eat."

    "I'm willing to eat!" Even so, Dong Shihao came over with a chair and looked at them instead of working.

    Grandpa came out of the kitchen with two scissors.

    Jiang Tianze took a plastic basket and fished it out in the water tank. It was full of fish.

    Finding a clean iron basin, Jiang Tian grabbed a crucian carp, cut off the fins, cut open the belly, took out the internal organs, rinsed it with clean water, and placed it in the iron basin.

    There is no need to throw away these internal organs. They can be eaten by chickens and ducks and buried in the ground to increase fertility.

    The two of them were very fast and both were experienced. Even so, it was already an hour after finishing the fish in the tank.

    Grandpa stood up and stretched his body and went to the kitchen. Jiang Tianze took the money and went to the small shop in the village to buy three bags of salt.

    Pour the salt into the iron basin and apply it evenly on the inside and outside of the crucian carp with your hands.

    When it was time to dry the fish at the end, Dong Shihao finally found something he knew how to do. He asked for wool, strung the crucian carp together, and hung it on the wall. The salt water was dripping. He estimated that it would take a few days to dry it.

    "You two come here and eat something first. You must be hungry after catching fish all day." Grandpa's voice came from the kitchen. He made dumplings and fried bamboo shoots and bacon.

    Jiang Tian moved the table out of the house.A plate of dumplings is placed in front of each person, and the dish is fried bacon with bamboo shoots.

    "I just made one dish first. You guys can fill your stomachs first, and you can eat the others later."

    With a piece of bacon, it tastes quite good, especially when paired with refreshing bamboo shoots. The flavors of the two blend together. It¡¯s so good that you can eat one piece with a big bowl of white rice.

    The two of them devoured their food, and their stomachs were indeed already growling.

    Grandpa ate dumplings and smiled happily. It would be great if his daughter came back too.

    After dinner, Jiang Tian didn't want to continue collecting the crucian carp and looked at the iron basin. After a while, the originally clear water turned black again. He changed the water for the clams, thought about it, and prepared to go to the pond behind the yard.  have a look.

    They came to the pond. Because it had not been cleaned for a long time, there was already a lot of silt in it. After being washed away by the rain, it was turbid inside. Next to it was the lotus root pond.

    When Jiang Tian came over, he found something good.

    There was a white lotus root in the mud. He went down with his slippers on and felt it to the bottom. When he pulled it out, he found that there were three segments.

    "Grandpa said this place has been abandoned. I didn't expect there are lotus roots. Let's get some and eat them back."

    Jiang Tian looked around and found two more.

    They returned to the yard with three lotus roots. When grandpa saw it, he was surprised and said: "There is still this in the lotus pond. I haven't gone down to look at it. Just in time, I will fry some lotus roots for you later, and I will give them to you when the carp is fried."  You guys get coupled up."

    As he said that, he looked at the sky. The sun was strong and the sky was clear. "The weather should be good these days, but the weather in the mountains has become severe. Let's take care of all those fish while there is still sun."

    Jiang Tian nodded, although he was tired, but who told them to catch it themselves.

    One person cleans up the crucian carp, while Dong Shihao changes the water for the mussels. He changes the water whenever he sees the basin is dirty.

    After doing this five times, it is estimated that the sediment in the river mussels has almost been spit out. After all, they grow in clean rivers.

    I gave Dong Shihao a kitchen knife and an ax and asked him to get a little tired and open some river clams.

    Jiang Tian strung the collected crucian carp with wool, and the walls were already covered with them.

    Dong Shihao turned around and said with a smile: "We are all otakus sharing a wall and an apartment in the imperial capital. You can live with this wall for more than half a year." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
