Chapter 8: Yellow Eel Cage

"Send this to Yu Lu. Su Xing handed over the next pig lungs and the remaining pig lungs to Su Hao.

"Hey, hey, hey. Su Hao took the pig's lung.

"What are you laughing at, this thing is lost and wasted, and it will stink tomorrow, so it's better to give it to people. "Wake up and stuff it into a snakeskin bag.

"I know, I know, you told me last time. Su Hao smiled and ran not far away with pig lungs, and the two sisters, Yu Lu and Yu Fang, also came to fish for lobsters every day.

Su Xing fastened the snakeskin bag that had been filled for a while, and together with the snakeskin bag containing the lobster, he lifted it on his shoulder, and glanced at Yu Lu.

It happened that Yu Lu also looked over, and Su Xing smiled at her: "Mouse, hurry up." ”

went back to the house, put down the things, woke up and took Su Hao to the pond, rolled down his trouser legs and dragged the yellow eel cage that sank in it a few days ago ashore.

After a few days of soaking, the original blue-yellow eel cage became black-brown, without the fragrance of bamboo, and precipitated the smell of mud.

That's what I want, and I'm very satisfied with the awakening.

"What can this thing be used for?" Su Hao helped get the yellow eel cage to the door of the awakening house, but he still didn't understand what the awakening wanted these things for.

"Catch the eel. Su Xing took a shovel from the house, shoveled it on the dung heap, the fertile soil and more than a dozen black earthworms looked particularly pleasant, Su Xing picked up a soy milk cup, pinched some crushed soil into it, and picked up all the black earthworms that had not had time to escape into the cup.

I dug up ten shovels and picked up a cup full of black earthworms.

It's a little red, but I didn't want to wake up.

"Learn from me, tie the earthworm to this, tie it tightly, it is best to kill the earthworm before tying, so as not to move it, and tie three or four earthworms to a bamboo clip. Su Xing came out with a plastic bag, which contained bamboo clips made of one-finger-long bamboo.

In fact, it is a piece of bamboo that splits a slit from the middle, leaves an inch behind it, and then ties a thin thread of about 20 centimeters.

Woke up and took three earthworms, fell on the ground a few times, the earthworms did not move, picked them up and stuffed them into the bamboo clip, and wrapped the earthworm around the bamboo clip with a thread: "With a little force, it is best to strangle the juice, so that the taste is strong, in order to attract the yellow eel." ”

After working for half an hour, his hands were sticky, and Su Xing and Su Hao finished tying up, and one by one they stuffed the earthworms tied to the bamboo pieces into the funnel-shaped inlet at the tail of the yellow eel cage, wrapped the front end of the exit with a thin thread, and packed the yellow eel cages with a large snakeskin bag, and Su Xing and Su Hao carried them to the outside of the village.

"Can this thing catch the yellow eel?" Su Hao was a little unconvinced.

"Absolutely. He paused and looked at a rice field on the side, the rice had been cut, but there was still water, and the weeds on the bank of the field were not in order. ”

Wake up and take a yellow eel cage, take off his shoes, roll up his trouser legs and go to the ridge behind the field, find a place with more weeds, first pick up some mud and build a mud frame according to the ridge, and then put the yellow eel cage on it.

There is a funnel-shaped inlet that sinks into the water, and the sides are slightly covered with mud, and the tied tail end is placed on the mud rack, exposing some of it on the surface of the water and in contact with the air.

Pull some aquatic weeds and put them on the yellow eel cage, pull twice in the water of the rice field, rub off the mud on your hands, and a yellow eel cage is ready.

"That's it?" asked Su Hao.

"Alright, I'll come and pick it up tomorrow morning. "Wake up with confidence.

There are few people in the village who fish for yellow eels, and even if there are, they are mostly yellow eel hooks made of umbrella bones, and a yellow eel hole is fished in a yellow eel hole.

Using the yellow eel cage is the way to wake up and see the people in the nearby village in the previous life to catch the yellow eel, it is very simple, put the bait yellow eel cage in the evening, sleep for a while, and take the second one in the morning, you can catch the yellow eel.

In the same way, two or three yellow eel cages are placed in a rice field, and the ditch where the water is not deep is also lowered, and the shallow water by the river is also placed under the yellow eel cage.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Lu carried a bag for a while, ready to go home, and when she saw Su Xing hanging down the yellow eel cage by the river, she mustered up the courage to ask, and her face was a little red.

"Yellow eel cage, used to catch yellow eels. Su Xing glanced up at her, pulled some aquatic weeds and put them on the yellow eel cage, put his feet in the river, and put on his shoes, "You can help me watch the lobster tomorrow, don't let others steal my yellow eel cage." ”

After saying that, he picked up the snakeskin bag with not many yellow eel cages left, and woke up and went to the next place.

When I got back, it was already dark.

"Do you want to fish for lobsters tomorrow?" asked Su Hao.

"Let's fish, you don't have to get up too early, get up at five o'clock, accompany me to take the yellow eel cage first, and then you go lobster fishing, anyway, the position in the river will definitely not be occupied, there must be a place in the lake, it doesn't matter if you go later." Su Xing said.

This day is really hot, I woke up and went home, I washed it with well water, and when I opened the door and entered the room, the house was full of smoke and the smell was tangy: "Mom, didn't I buy mosquito coils, why do you still use this, the smell is too rushing." ”

In summer, there are many mosquitoes, no mosquito incense smoked, no sleep at all, wake up the house has been using a square of gray and white mosquito coils, four or five pieces together, after the whole room is shrouded in smoke.

Within half an hour, the smoke could not dissipate, and the smell was still very strong.

"That's too expensive, keep it, don't buy it in the future, and spend it when you have money. Wang Chunlan muttered.

"Mosquito coils have an expiration date, and if you keep them, they will expire, and besides, now when there are more mosquitoes, you don't have to keep them for anything. Wake up a little speechless, "The mosquito coil tablets I use now smell too strong, maybe it's poisonous, don't use it in the future." ”

"Nonsense, after so many years, I haven't seen anything wrong with me, why is it poisonous?" Wang Chunlan couldn't listen to Su Xing and said this, "Don't scare people." ”

Su Xing sighed, Wang Chunlan didn't want to listen, he couldn't help it, he took the bamboo mat upstairs, and lay on the bamboo mat for a while, and the coolness of the shower was evaporated.

It was already dark, and I woke up and stared at the stars embedded in the night, and my thoughts were flying, and I couldn't sleep for a long time.

"Brother, where are you?" Su Ran also ran up, shouting at the staircase to wake up, a little afraid of the dark.

"Slow down. He woke up and walked over, "What are you running up for?"

"It's hot down there, I can't sleep. Su Ran said.

"Okay, then sleep upstairs. Su Xing nodded, letting Su Ran lie on one side of the mat, and he shrank on the other side, "I'll buy an electric fan tomorrow and come back." ”

There is a vertical electric fan at home, Longcheng brand in Liuzhou, China, which was bought by Su Changmin and Wang Chunlan when they got married, and it has been used for more than ten years, it is old, and it has broken once or twice, but it is still strong, and I remember that after he graduated from college and worked, this electric fan can still be used.

The alarm clock rang, woke up, pressed the alarm clock, carried Su Ran downstairs, and after hurriedly washing, Su Xing took the snakeskin bag and walked to Su Hao's house, preparing to take the yellow eel cage that he had ordered yesterday.
