Xu Tongdao moved all the bamboo poles he found out of the kitchen, put them all in the open space outside the kitchen, and then went to find an axe.

Then, he began to cut the bamboo poles.

Cutting each bamboo pole into four pieces is not a skilled job, but it is just a little slower.

The movement of his bamboo cutting here quickly attracted his sister and younger brother.

Ge Yuzhu: "Big brother, what are you doing? What are you doing with all the good bamboo?"

Xu Tonglu frowned and looked at it, but didn't ask anything.

He's still angry with Xu Tongdao!

"Make some shrimp bandages. ”

Xu Tongdao replied casually, and the work in his hands did not stop.

Shrimp bandage is a tool for catching shrimp, and their brothers and sisters know this thing.

Ge Yuzhu was very surprised, "Make shrimp bandages, big brother, are you going to put shrimp bandages?"

Xu Tongdao hummed.

"Then do you have gauze?" Ge Yuzhu wondered.

"I'm going to cut the mosquito net on your bed, and I'll buy you a new one later, anyway, your mosquito net is very old!"

"This ...... ...... my mosquito net still works."

Ge Yuzhu was obviously a little reluctant.

Xu Tongdao glanced at her and said casually: "The fish money sold today, you can buy a new one when you go back, and it is too wasteful to buy new gauze to make shrimp bandages, not cost-effective!"

Gauze is one of the necessary materials for making shrimp bandages.

"Oh, okay, okay......!

Ge Yuzhu was still a little reluctant, but since the eldest brother said it, she still agreed.

Xu Tonglu, who had never spoken, suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that you would go out to find a job in two days?

"I changed my mind, I plan to do a small business, but I still have a little capital, so I will make river shrimp for a few days and sell it for some money. ”

Xu Tongdao continued to cut the bamboo and explained casually.

Xu Tonglu listened and didn't ask anything more.

After a moment of silence, he went into the kitchen and took an old kitchen knife out, picked up a freshly cut piece of bamboo on the ground, lowered his head and silently began to thin the bamboo piece with a kitchen knife.

In fact, the shrimp bandage, the two brothers made a few of them a few years ago, so they both have experience.

The bamboo slices for shrimp bandages need good elasticity, which requires the bamboo slices to be thinned a little, which is a meticulous work and very labor-intensive.

Originally, after Xu Tongdao cut the bamboo, he had to cut it himself little by little.

Now with more Xu Tonglu helping, the efficiency has naturally improved a lot.

"Big brother, that ...... Shall I bring you the mosquito net?"

Ge Yuzhu saw that the second brother had started to help, and after thinking about it, Mao recommended himself and was ready to help.

Xu Tongdao hummed, and she immediately turned around and went back to the house to get the mosquito net.

When she brought the mosquito net, she even brought the scissors to cut the mosquito net.

"Big brother, how big is the cut? I'll cut it for you!"

Ge Yuzhu took the scissors and gestured at the mosquito net, ready to cut it.

Xu Tongdao looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "Don't panic to cut the mosquito net, you first go to Xiaolinzi's house and ask if anyone in his house wants to go to Wei today, if so, you can ask his family to help bring a message to our mother!"

Ge Yuzhu was puzzled, "What do you bring?"

Xu Tongdao: "Tell our mother, I went to replace her after dinner today, and I have something to do during the day, so I won't go." ”

"Oh, yes, I know, I'll go!"

Ge Yuzhu agreed, immediately put down the scissors, and trotted away.

When she left, outside the kitchen door, only Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu were left.

The two of them did not speak for a long time, and they went about their own things in silence.

After a long while, Xu Tonglu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"What business are you going to do?"

When Xu Tongdao heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, seeing that this kid was still expressionless, and it was estimated that the anger in his heart had not completely disappeared.

But if this kid can take the initiative to help him cut bamboo chips, and take the initiative to talk to him, it means that the anger in this kid's heart has almost disappeared.

Xu Tongdao is not a character who loves to explain, but it is rare for his younger brother to take the initiative to speak, he thought about it, and told Xu Tonglu about his idea of making skewers.

After he finished speaking, Xu Tonglu was silent for a while before he said: "Do you want to set up a stall in the county seat, and after the stall is closed at night, where will the things be placed? You need to rent a house, right? That will cost a lot of money, how many days do you have to sell river shrimp to save enough money? Shrimp bandages can't get many river shrimp in a day!"

"I know!"

Xu Tongdao's expression did not change, because he had thought about this question for a long time.

Xu Tonglu raised his eyes and looked at him, his brows furrowed slightly, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xu Tongdao: "You don't need to worry about this, I will solve it." ”

Xu Tonglu looked at him again, pouted, and really didn't ask again.

In fact, the two brothers have the same personality of few words.

Not long after, Ge Yuzhu trotted back and reported to Xu Tongdao - she had already told Xu Tonglin's mother, and Xu Tonglin's mother promised to help bring a message to their mother.

Then the brother and sister worked together to make shrimp bandages.

The structure of the shrimp bandage is actually very simple, the two thinned bamboo pieces "ten" shape are crossed and tied together, and then according to the length of the bamboo piece, a square piece of gauze is cut, and the four corners of the gauze are tied to the four ends of the two bamboo pieces.

Finally, use another rope...... One end is tied to the intersection of two bamboo pieces, and the other end is tied to a bamboo pole or stick, and it is OK.

The length of the bamboo pole or wooden stick does not need to be very long, one meter long, two meters long is OK, three or four meters long is OK, do not be too particular.

It took the brothers and sisters a morning to make more than a dozen shrimp bandages.

"Do you still have rice bran at home?"

When the shrimp bandage was ready, Xu Tongdao straightened his waist and asked his sister Ge Yuzhu while moving his waist and neck.

Ge Yuzhu: "Yes, didn't we have two pigs in our house before, the pigs were taken away a few days ago, the rice bran is not valuable, those people didn't ask for it, they are still at home!"

Xu Tongdao chuckled, "That's good! You go cook! Let's have lunch, and then go out to put shrimp bandages in the afternoon!"

Ge Yuzhu: "Hey, I'll go now!"

Ge Yuzhu went to cook, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglu packed up the shrimp bandages together, put them in the hall, and after putting them away, Xu Tonglu spoke again, "I'll go with you in the afternoon!"

"No, you stay at home and read!"

Xu Tongdao refused, turned around and went out of the hall, went to the eaves behind the house, began to pick up broken tiles, and went to put shrimp bandages in the afternoon, and needed some broken tiles to add weight to the fluttering shrimp bandages, otherwise the shrimp bandages would be put in the water, and they would not sink to the bottom of the water for half a day, and if they wanted to catch river shrimp, it was a dream.

After picking up some broken tiles, Xu Tongdao went to find an old plastic basin, brought half a basin of rice bran, added a few handfuls of rice, brought it to the kitchen, and poured some rapeseed oil into the rice bran and rice.

After mixing these things well, it is time to go to catch river shrimp bait in the afternoon.

I just don't know what the harvest will be this afternoon......
