Chapter 8: A Busy Beginning
Speechless all night, Wang Yi got up early before dawn the next day, because he had an important thing today, that is, to collect the yellow eel cage, but he didn't know how the harvest was. After getting dressed, I started to walk outside, and as for washing up or something, I will talk about it when I get back.
Deliberately carrying a flat pole on the shoulder, is to prevent those yellow eel cages from not coming back, after all, after passing through the water, the weight will definitely increase, with the flat pole, it will reduce some weight, and it is also much more convenient to carry.
Soon came to the place where the yellow eel cage was first placed yesterday, and peeled off the grass used for disguise, revealing half of the cage arm strand on it.
Wang Yi was still a little nervous at the moment, after all, this was the first time to go down to the yellow eel, and no one knew if he would be able to get it. And he also uses this as a way to earn the first pot of gold, if this method doesn't work and leads to ruin, then I really don't know how to make money in the near future, can I not be nervous.
"Wow"
Grabbing the yellow eel cage exposed on the surface of the water with his hand, Wang Yi dragged it up, and as soon as he left the water, he obviously felt a lot sinking. Although it has the weight of water, the yellow eel inside is not much lighter. If you shake your hand slightly, you can hear a lot of noise inside and smile with satisfaction.
This cage definitely has a lot of gains, and the weight of the water is removed, and it is estimated that it should weigh nearly a catty, which means that there are at least several yellow eels in it, and the corners of the mouth are filled with a faint smile.
With a joyful mood, he went to the next place, and then collected those yellow eel cages one by one, almost every one of them was filled with yellow eels, and each of them was not light, which made Wang Yi feel like eating honey.
The main reason is that there are relatively few people who go down to the yellow eel now, but there are a lot of yellow eels in the ditch, which gives him a chance. If in a few years, when everyone knows that yellow eels can make money, the market will change greatly, and there will be more people who go down to yellow eels.
Looking at the slowly rising sun, Wang Yi walked back with a flat shoulder, because of some heaviness, the young shoulders were a little painful. But this heart is beautiful, humming a little song and shaking forward.
Zhao Xia, who was walking around the door with her little sister in her arms, saw Wang Yi coming back, and immediately said, "Xiaoyi, come back, how did you get today?"
"Mom, it's a bumper harvest today. Wang Yi walked into the yard, put the yellow eel cage in the corner of the wall, and then quickly went back to the house to find a taller wooden basin and prepared it to hold the yellow eel.
"Really?" Zhao Xia also walked over curiously, after all, this was the first time she had seen a yellow eel go down, and she wanted to see what the situation was.
Wang Yi opened the pocket behind the arm of the yellow eel, and then poured it into the barrel in turn, and heard a loud noise.
"Ah, there are so many in one, and it's not small!" Zhao Xia was surprised when she saw the five or six yellow eels poured into the barrel, and then said loudly.
Wang Yi estimated the weight of these yellow eels, I am afraid that there is a pound of weight, but I didn't expect that a yellow eel cage will have a catty, I was so surprised, and said to Zhao Xia: "This cage is a lot, and there may not be so many others." ”
Pour all the yellow eels in these cages into the wooden basin, but I didn't expect that the ten yellow eel cages actually dropped nearly ten catties, that is to say, each contributed one catty, which is a lot. But Wang Yi knows that this is because no one has played it before, there will be so many, if it is cycled a few times, then the number will decrease rapidly.
Take an iron bucket again, and divide some of the big and small ones, after all, the big eel is worth a lot, and the small one is probably less than half of the big one, so the smaller one might as well stay at home and eat it yourself, although it takes a little effort to kill, but it is also meat, and the feeling of eating it will not be bad.
Zhao Xia saw that Wang Yi was done, and hurriedly said, "Xiaoyi, wash your body and prepare for breakfast." ”
"Got it, Mom. Wang Yi put the wooden basin and iron bucket in a cool place, then fetched some water and stood at the door and began to wash it, wiping off some of the dirt stuck to his body, and at the same time putting the dirty clothes in the basin and washing them later.
After breakfast, simply take the yellow eel cage to the well and rinse it, and wash off the silt on it, so that it looks much cleaner.
……
In the next few days, it can be said that every time it is a bumper harvest, you can get about ten catties of yellow eel. Of course, there aren't that many small ones removed, but it's almost seven pounds, and even then it's enough.
In addition to the daily harvest, Wang Yi is also calculating the date, after all, there is no calendar at home, and the time of the market is two, five, and eight, and if you miss it, you can only wait for the next time.
The last time I caught the market was on the 8th, so this time it was naturally the 2nd, and after taking back the yellow eel cage early, Wang Yi immediately took a bath, and then tied the iron bucket containing the yellow eel to the bicycle, ready to go to the market for the first sale.
"Xiaoyi, leave without breakfast. Zhao Xia came out of the house and shouted, and at the same time handed a five-cent piece in his hand to Wang Yi's hand, "When you are really hungry, you will buy some food on the street." ”
Wang Yi knows the situation at home, although he is basically self-sufficient now and does not need money, but how much money is still available at home, I am afraid that there are not ten yuan now, and a family's savings are not ten yuan, what a sad thing, and he shirked and said: "Mom, you don't need to give money, I will be able to have money when I sell the eel, and it will not be too late to buy it then." ”
Zhao Xia forcibly stuffed it into Wang Yi's hand and said: "I don't know if this yellow eel can be sold, if you can't sell it, won't you be hungry, and you get up so early in the morning, how can there be any food in your stomach, take it." ”
Wang Yi knows what her mother is worried about, it is nothing more than worrying that the yellow eel will not be sold, after all, she has never done business, how can she know the Tao, only know that the people in the village rarely eat this thing, and the simple common sense of life is destined to not look at the long term, otherwise the next rich person will have a share of you.
In the end, he took the money and said, "Mom, go back and look at my little sister, it won't take long for me to come back." ”
Zhao Xia nodded and said, "Then you pay attention to safety on the road, and there are bicycles that won't be pushed over, do you know?"
"Got it. Wang Yi wanted to laugh in his heart, although the bicycle has not been practiced in this life, but in the previous life, he had several years of experience, as long as he learned this thing, he could never forget it, and he could basically ride it by hand.
But now Wang Yike has never touched a bicycle, so in order to let his mother not worry, he deliberately pushed and walked a distance, and only rode when he turned slightly to the other side.
This may be the difference in thinking at different ages, just like now, Wang Yi is more willing to listen to his mother's words and let him do whatever he wants, rather than seeing his mother worry about it. Even if something is wrong and harmless, I am willing to listen.
When riding, because of the height, although I can barely ride, but when I step on the pedal, basically only one foot can step on it, and the other foot has to hang in the air, and I can continue to exert myself when the pedal turns, which may be the sadness of being short.
This feeling made him feel like he was back in the first year of junior high school, and this was the kind of experience at that time, and I still remember it vividly.
When Wang Yi came to the market, the first thing he did was to go to the place where the yellow eels were sold, and sell the yellow eels in the iron bucket to those yellow eel dealers.
