Chapter 169: Eel Hunting
Back at home, Bian Rui took a shower, sat on the floor and took two naps, then went to bed. Early the next morning, I was troubled by a group of children, and I forgot about the fact that there was a baby fish living in the space.
When Bian Rui remembered it, it was already ten days later.
"Hey, hey, little nineteen, what kind of fussy are you doing, dissatisfied with the progress of today's project?" Bian Seventeen, who was standing next to Bian Rui, saw that his cousin was stunned, so he opened his mouth and asked.
Bian Rui was thinking about the baby fish in the space now, and suddenly he didn't hear his cousin's words at all.
"Hey!"
"Ah, what?" asked Bian Rui, turning his head to Bian Seventeen.
"I said there was a big beautiful woman in red over there, standing naked and dancing there, shouting you look at it, don't you look at it, now everyone is gone," Bian Seventeen said angrily.
When Bian Rui heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "If you want to run over early in the morning, will you stay here and talk to me?" I don't believe it! Do you think you are Cao Zhi, and you can see Luo Shen when you pass by the water?"
Bian Qiqi smiled when he heard this: "You kid, I'm talking to you, why are you distracted, what are you thinking?"
Bian Rui said: "No, I'm thinking about what to do over there in Tangzi."
"Toss again?" Bian Seventeen asked in surprise.
Bian Rui said: "Don't toss." I don't toss, I just wonder if I don't add a few waterways, and I didn't draw accurately at first."
Bian Rui's so-called yellow eel pond has begun to show its eyebrows, a circle of wooden fences enclose the fertile mud, leaving a gap about a palm thick between the wood and the wood, which is used for the yellow eel to make holes, each waterway is about 80 centimeters wide, one meter and five deep. Several wooden plank bridges were erected over the waterway, on which people could walk and feed the eels after defecation.
Now that most of these projects have been completed, the progress really made Bian Rui stunned, Bian Rui felt that he had given these boys a drink of space water, otherwise how could this work be done so quickly.
Bian Rui is working fast here, and the craft of raising eels over there is also being targeted, and others are staring at it, wanting to wait to see the results, but Bian Seventeen is different, and he is going to start this project directly, and he is already talking about the swamp pond with the village.
Now Bian Seventeen has become a little fan brother of his cousin Bian Rui, and seeing that Bian Rui has made such a big determination to engage in this thing, he also wants to learn from Bian Rui's appearance and build an eel pond to do it himself. No, at the first opportunity, he came over and pestered Bian Rui to 'learn technology'.
Where did Bian Rui teach him the technique, so he could only take this cousin to catch eels if he had nothing to do, saying that it was for storing seedlings.
Bian Rui was not happy to buy seedlings from others, so he decided to catch dozens of yellow eels and put them in his own yellow eel pond to raise seedlings. To put it bluntly, I want to save money, it was originally like the goods, but now I have invested so much, it is already okay, if even the eel seedlings have to be bought from outside, Bian Rui feels that he can't face his wallet.
"Don't add more, if you add more, brother, when I do it in the future, I won't have so much money to invest in, you know I just bought a transport truck and hired two drivers, if you ...... here" Bian Seventeen said.
Bian Rui said: "Brother Seventeen, I didn't say you, shouldn't you be so good and ambitious, and do a good job in the vegetable business first?"
Bian Seventeen's vegetable business has started, and the response is not bad, Bian Seventeen must calm down and do things is quite thoughtful, not only selling vegetables, but also setting up a vegetable cleaning field in the town, picking all the vegetables collected neatly into a small basket, so that every basket of vegetables is neat and tidy when it is sent to Mingzhu.
Guan Jian is that this kid deliberately puts a little mud on the dishes, and with the blessing of mountain spring water, the dishes in the nearby villages will not change much for a day or two, so these dishes feel like they are so fine when they are in the hands of customers.
In short, now the business of those old customers of Bian Rui's shop, Bian Seventeen can be regarded as holding it, and these people have to consume almost two truckloads of vegetables in one day, which is almost the output of fresh vegetables in Bianjia Village and Xujia Village in a day.
"I am ready to play the brand here, our dishes here are according to organic vegetables, I want to try it and send it to the big supermarket to test the water, if it works, I can wrap all the dishes in our village" Bian Qiqi said with a smile.
"You can do it yourself, but I still have to nag, let's do business in a serious way, make the money we should earn and eat the food we deserve," Bian Rui said.
Bian Qiqi scolded with a smile: "In the end, I am my brother or you are my brother, I know what you said, I will not accept this dish, in the words on TV, we will only make high-end, if it is really bigger, I will package the depression land into the mountain to grow vegetables, how to say that there are more than 1,000 acres of land?......
"You can dream this slowly," Bian Rui said.
As they spoke, the two brothers came side by side to the edge of the lake, and a small wooden iron anchor was thrown into the grass on the shore.
The two brothers got on the boat and took the anchor, rowing the boat until the southwest edge of the lake, in the place where the water and grass were lush along the way, Bian Rui put some cages to catch eels last night, and went to watch it today, if there is one, raise it, and if not, come back tomorrow to take a look.
Rowed to the side of the first cage, Bian Seventeen copied his hand and said, "Good fellow, heavy."
As he spoke, he copied the cage, reached out and took off the plug on it, then pointed the cage at the red plastic bucket on the boat, and shook it lightly twice, and the yellow eel fell out of the cage.
"That's a lot, a total of twelve!" Bian Rui was very satisfied with the harvest of the first cage.
The first cage of eels is not large, most of them are only the thickness of adult fingers, only one is slightly larger, and the thickest part is about two centimeters.
"What kind of material are you with, so godly?" Bian Seventeen finished pouring the eel, stretched out his head and glanced into the cage.
Bian Rui said: "What kind of material, the earthworms dug directly, yesterday it happened that the seventh uncle's family killed sheep, I asked for some unused internal organs or something to put in it, except that this is gone, it is the bait that everyone commonly uses, and I can turn out flowers if I want to."
Bian Rui didn't do any strange bait, he directly used the bait used by everyone in the village, because Bian Rui was not in a hurry, and now his yellow eel pond has not been completely repaired, so what are you doing in a hurry to raise so many eels.
After speaking, Bian Rui took out a small box from his body and handed it to his cousin: "See if there is any bait, if not, add a little."
"Stingy, just such a small box? How many cages can be added to this, at most two or three cages are about the same" Bian Seventeen said as he opened the box, and saw that the box was indeed earthworms, so he picked four or five and threw them into the cage.
Replug the cage plug, place the cage horizontally in the water, and submerge the large head of the cage, which is the place where the yellow eel can get in, and expose the end with the plug out of the water.
The eel is not a fish, it cannot breathe with its gills, so every once in a while the eel has to rise to the surface to breathe, and if the whole cage is put under water, the eel in the cage will drown.
The brothers collected it all the way, and soon got a small half-barrel of eel, large and small, almost twenty catties, which was a very good harvest.
Bian Qiqi was a little stunned at the end: "How many eels are this year?"
"It's really" Bian Rui is also very strange, today's harvest is much more than he thought, the last cage was collected, the little red bucket was full, and there was no way to throw the caught eel directly into the cabin.
When he got to the shore, Bian Rui rode back to his parents' house and took two buckets to get all the eels home.
Along the way, everyone saw that Bian Rui had caught so many eels and asked, and Bian Rui didn't think about catching them by himself, not letting the villagers catch them, so he told everyone that they wanted to eat eels and put them in cages to catch them, and this year's eels seem to be a lot more than in previous years.
The brothers dumped buckets of eels into a small mud ditch dug next to the pond.
"Is this okay?" Bian Qiqi felt that his cousin was a bit nonsense, this little mud ditch could raise so many eels?
Bian Rui said: "I thought it would take four or five days to catch so many eels, but who knew that I would catch them in one day."
The two brothers were talking here, and a brain came over next to them: "Uncle Seventeen, Uncle Nineteen, what's so difficult about this, we can separate the eel pond here, you see this, let's block these two sides, then the repaired piece can be used, wait for the repair over there, let's dig up the middle road again, then it will be connected in two clicks, others are afraid of wasting materials, and you are afraid of wasting this little thing with more materials in your Nineteenth Uncle's house?"
When Bian Rui heard this, he observed the shape of his eel pond, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the kid's shoulder: "Good boy, you are still clever, it's a bit of a waste for such a clever brain not to go to college, I'll tell your father later, let you go to school to repeat."
"Hey, hey, Uncle Nineteen, I'm giving you ideas, don't fool me, if you say that I'm a material for reading, my father will have to send me to school even if he picks my skin, Uncle Nineteen, you're good, I'm really not reading material, I have a headache when I see a book, really! Besides, it's not one or two who are good at reading at home, right?"
As soon as he heard about reading, this kid's face instantly collapsed.
Bianjia Village attaches great importance to reading, but there are always some people in a large family who are 'not motivated' or who can't read, even if there are more role models for them, it is useless for them, just can't read what can be done.
"I think this kid's method is good, block this section first, and a closed pond will come out" Bian Seventeen reached out and grabbed the kid's neck and clamped it under the armpit.
This kid is also honest, and he is waiting for the two cousins with a smile on his face.
"Okay, then let's do it," Bian Rui said after a moment's thought.
There are so many harvests today, so come again tomorrow, the temporary pond prepared by yourself will definitely not work, and it is better to dig the pond than to block the built pond first and use it now.
By the afternoon, the pond had been sealed, and the original stream had been drained, and the water had reached his knees.
The yellow eel, which originally looked a little crowded in the temporary pond, was no longer visible when it was placed in the big pond.
Bian Rui's eel farming business can be regarded as officially begins.
