Chapter 42: Fishing for Yellow Eel and Catching a Snake

Everyone drank a few sips and felt that their teeth were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless. Even Xiao Lingling asked for a cup, and she looked like an adult, squatting in front of the door and slowly tasting tea.

If it weren't for a phone call, everyone would probably have to stay at Kuangdejun's house for a few more hours. It was just before one o'clock in the afternoon, and the construction personnel of Hongyuan Building Materials Company arrived at the entrance of the village, and Kuang Dejun instructed Li Jian to pick them up at the entrance of the village, and then take them to the construction site.

In the morning, a pond of rice stalks was carried to Qishan, with other tools, as well as mycelium strains purchased from the seed farm. plastic film, rushed to Qishan.

Zeng Xiangyuan looked at the noodles made by everyone in the morning, and said to Kuang Dejun: "Pay attention to drainage, low-lying places should not accumulate water, the spacing between furrows is best 30~50 cm, and the depth of furrows is 8~10 cm." ”

"I can't imagine that Director Zeng is not only an expert in mushroom making, but also an expert in cultivating straw mushrooms. Kuang Dejun sincerely invited him to be the technical adviser of his own straw mushroom base.

He said: "If you don't dislike it, I want to ask you to join the planting base, and I will pay you twice as much as your brother's salary." ”

Zeng Xiangyuan said: "If you give me a monthly salary of 3,000, I will do it for you." It's always a little uncomfortable to work in the second child, money is another thing, the key is to feel a little uncomfortable. Besides, mushroom making is my old profession for decades, and I am not familiar with the rest, only growing these mushrooms is my specialty. ”

Zeng Xiangyuan told Kuang Dejun that the commonly used edible mushrooms are: shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, mushrooms, fungus, white fungus, monkey head, bamboo sunflower, matsutake mushroom, mouth mushroom, red mushroom, ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps, truffle, white spirit mushroom and porcini mushroom. Of course, Kuang Dejun knew this, and he was happy to have a professional master like Zeng Xiangyuan join his edible mushroom base. With professional technology and space spring water, it seems that the edible fungus base is not prosperous and cannot cope with the Shennong system.

Kuang Dejun also took Zeng Xiangyuan to visit the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, and in just a few days, a batch of thriving Ganoderma lucidum grew into thick rhizomes and crowns.

This time, he absorbed the experience of the previous time, covered the culture medium with plastic film, and set up a simple shed. In the future, if Ganoderma lucidum has robe powder, it can be harvested in time.

Zeng Xiangyuan found that the foundation of the shed was unstable, and the weather of this shed was good, but if it encountered a violent storm, it would not last long. A heavy rain will destroy all the Ganoderma lucidum, so it is imperative to strengthen the construction of the shed in time.

Zeng Xiangyuan jumped off halfway, but fortunately, Qiu Guangyun was in charge of the work of erecting barbed wire and building temporary sheds.

Kuang Defu ran over and said to Kuang Dejun: "Junzi, these chickens you bought are really full of vitality, you see that they are put in this grass and forest, only one morning, they will look for insects everywhere to eat, and the big grasshoppers can peck to death, it is really a god." ”

Kuang Dejun also saw those energetic chicken cubs, who had not been seen for a few hours, as if they had suddenly grown into a circle, the size of an adult's fist. And the speed of running is not afraid of growing chickens. The few white geese weighing more than ten catties that Defu brought from home didn't seem to dare to provoke them, and only wandered around the periphery.

These chickens from the space do have a terrifying growth rate, and at this production rate, can they be sold in a week?

Kuang Dejun said to Kuang Defu: "Brother Defu, I already have vegetables for dinner, or you go home and catch two ducks, I will calculate the amount of money for you, let Dexi make a few pots of duck meat, and everyone will have a meal at night." ”

If only a few bamboo rats had been dug up in the bamboo bushes, as they had done last time. But when he looked around, there was no trace of the bamboo rat hiding. Perhaps the owl had cleaned up all the rats, snakes, and rabbits in the area, and there was not even a drop of wild animal droppings.

"Junzi, I'll take you to catch the yellow eel. Li Jian's cousin Li Mingtang came over at this time and said to him.

He said that the place where there were yellow eels was in a puddle in his family's mountain next door to the base. The puddle is dozens of meters long, covered with dense small holes, and some yellow eels are still swimming leisurely in the muddy water, but when they hear the footsteps, they immediately slip into the mud paddle again.

The stream below is a bit deep, and if you drill directly into it, you are in danger of being bitten by other snakes and insects. It is more than two meters high from the shore to the bottom of the stream, and the wall of the stream is overgrown with weeds.

"We're going to have to fish for eels. Li Mingtang found two fishing hooks from his sweet potato field and handed them to Kuang Dejun.

"You kid, you have two brushes. Is there a fishing hook hidden here at any time?" Kuang Dejun said. It seems that this is not the first time he has done this.

Li Mingtang said modestly: "Your black dog goes up the mountain to catch hares and ranks first in Qianqian Village, but when it comes to fishing for yellow eels, there is indeed no one in Qianqian Village who can compare to me." All villages have puddles in eel fields, I know almost all of them. My family can't eat all the yellow eels all year round, and my family has no money to use, so I carry some dried yellow eels to the market to sell. ”

Kuang Dejun has long heard that there are three capable people in Qianqian Village: Li Mingtang is an expert in catching yellow eels and loaches, Kuang Defan is an expert in catching snakes, and Xie Chunhua is an expert in stealing chickens. Of the three, only Xie Chunhua is notorious, he is lazy and hardworking, and his family has no money to buy vegetables, so he goes to steal chickens and ducks raised by neighbors and villagers, and never misses.

Kuang Dejun learned from Li Mingtang, put half of the earthworm on the barbed iron wire, put down the bait, and gently shook it on the surface of the water at the mouth of the yellow eel hole.

Soon, a light yellow spiky beak emerged, slowly approached the earthworm bait, and took a sharp bite, and retreated into the back hole.

Kuang Dejun jerked, and the hooked yellow eel broke away and burrowed into the hole. Li Mingtang, who was not far away, had already hooked a few yellow eels, and he taught him softly: "You pull the hook so hard, you have to pull it lightly, and then let it go, let the yellow eel swallow the earthworm in the belly, and if you pull the hook again, it will not be able to escape." ”

Experience in everything you do. According to the experience he taught, Kuang Dejun waited for a stout yellow eel to swallow the bait, and then took the yellow eel out, opened the basket, and put a large yellow eel with half a catty into the basket.

"It's on the road, that's it, continue!" Li Mingtang reminded him, don't make a big deal of movement, otherwise you will frighten the other yellow eels and they will not come out if they get into the mud and kill them.

In a dense aquatic weed, Kuang Dejun slowly put in the fishing hook line and shook it gently. After a while, he felt the hook and thread shake slightly, and the old god of Kuang Dejun gently tugged at it, and then relaxed. When the hook line is tightened, he lifts the rod upwards with all his might.

The hook bar has been bent downward, and the weight on the hand has increased a lot.

"Mingtang, this is a super large yellow eel, estimated to weigh several pounds. Kuang Dejun shouted excitedly to Li Mingtang.

"Steady, steady, don't panic, take your time!" Li Mingtang also came over to help.

However, when the Kuang German army pulled the pole and line ashore, the two of them were horrified to find that where the hook came up was a yellow eel, which was clearly a black snake more than two meters long. Swinging its huge body, the snake bites the hook line in its mouth.
