Chapter 8 A New Life Pulled Out in One Net
The second update, Xiaobai needs to recommend and collect!
Compared with the lack of rules, the fish pond of the old Zhang family is obviously much cleaner, surrounded by gravel roads, and a dam nearly six meters wide leads from the loess road at the entrance of the village to the center of Baihu Bay, surrounded by solid poplars and willow trees.
Around the roadbed where the river mud is piled up, there are grid boxes of different sizes separated by rubber wire mesh, which are intended to be used to hold different kinds of adult fish.
Although I don't know if there is any Chen Yu from previous years, but in view of the fact that sooner or later it will need to be used, Zhang Wenlin also pulled it up with his son's idea, but only later did he know that this thing played a big role.
After the rain, it was sunny for a few days in November, the mud on the dam was dry, the wind could kick up dust, and the weather forecaster on the radio was saying that it might take half a month to dry.
There are several small boats in the water, which are no more than three or four meters wide, and can be pulled back and forth from the boat trough excavated in the dam to different ponds.
It seems that after experiencing the fire, Zhang Chen, a half-old ten-year-old child, suddenly has a lot of right to speak, not to mention others, even Zhang Wenming and his wife must have listened to him, who let the family save their own family's life.
"Dad, Uncle Wenming, the net is too shallow, and if it is deeper, it is best to dig up the mud."
People who have never raised fish actually don't know that big fish sink to the bottom of the water, especially in this kind of large water lake, and at about this time they all swim leisurely on the silt surface, and drill into the mud when it is a little cold.
Zhang Wenlin was too lazy to take care of that kid at first, whose net pulled fish to dig up the mud, that was not pulling fish, that was pulling mud and hate, but a net went down, and when it was pulled up, there was really no material, just a few silver carp weighing two or three catties, a few river shrimp, mussel shells and river snails are a lot, this is still lucky, the net is big.
"Forget it, there's probably nothing in here!"
"Dad, you're right to listen to me, press the net deeper."
"Brother Wenlin, if you don't listen to Chenzi's net again, it won't take much trouble, at most, you should have enough food and no strength to sprinkle."
Shi Xiuhong also nodded on the side.
"Then Lao Tzu will pull it as you say, and if you can't pull the fish, I won't smoke you to death."
After Zhang Wenlin finished speaking, he propped the boat back to the middle of the pond and lowered the net again, this time adding nearly one-third of the pebble presser feet to the net, the fishing net suddenly became very heavy, and before it was thrown away, it slipped into the water in a row, and the two boats cast the net separately, and Shi Xiuhong pressed the net feet in the middle.
When it almost covered the entire pond nearly 100 meters wide, the boat was rowed ashore, which was originally the work of five or six men, but now the two people pulling the net are really full of strength and have nowhere to scatter, Shi Xiuhong took a small boat to hit a pole in the middle of the water to prevent the net from turning over.
The two of them pulled the net for nearly an hour before they pulled out half of it, ordinary people can't do this job, at this time Zhang Chen was also a little nervous, if there are no fish in this net, then it will be a loss, this large pond may not even have a fish because of his small wings.
But obviously he was wrong, just when the two of them were about to run out of strength, suddenly the water covered by the fishing net suddenly jumped up a wavy line, although it did not jump out, but everyone who eats this bite of food knows that this is definitely a big fish weighing more than ten catties.
This kind of paddling, not a big fish can never shoot, sure enough, before I pulled up the net rope in my hand, bang, the water is like a flower, the fish in the water is extremely powerful, sometimes people can't control it.
Looking at the splashes and fish white rolling in the net, Zhang Chen smiled, after all, he still guessed correctly, and the Zhang family also bet correctly.
When the two people who were about to fall apart saw the situation in the water, they suddenly became energetic again, and felt that the net rope in their hands was shaken by the fish, and they were excited in their hearts, and the speed of pulling the net couldn't help but be a little faster.
"Wow, so many fish, so big!"
"Brother Wenlin, Chenzi is right, this fish is really sinking underneath!"
"Hmm!"
Zhang Wenlin didn't speak, just hummed, but his heart blossomed, he knew that his mutant son really guessed correctly, there are really a lot of stocks hidden in this Baihu Bay, according to the situation of this net, I am afraid that there can be a lot of such a large lake.
Thirty-six packs for three years is worth the fuck.
"Hurry up, don't worry, don't let the fish run!"
"Xiuhong, quickly pull up the net!"
In the water, Shi Xiuhong supported the boat and followed the net, and when she heard the man shouting, she hurriedly used the rope in her hand to pull up the net and tie it to the boat.
Pull the net to the flat place on the shore with all your might, form a big circle in the water, and several people tie the net and go into the water to catch fish, and catch all the big fish ashore while collecting the net, Zhang Chen and Hailin are not idle, they pull up their trouser legs and go into the water.
"Good guy, I'm afraid this fish doesn't have twenty pounds!"
Pulling a yellow carp with a round belly ashore, looking at the huge size of this fish, Zhang Chen couldn't help but spit out secretly, the lake water was polluted in the future, where could I see such a big guy.
Because it is a net to pull the fish, but it is not dead, so after a simple weighing, it was poured into the pre-prepared grid to raise, and the net was pulled for three days in a row Two ponds, Zhang Wenlin roughly calculated, all kinds of fish add up to more than 5,000 catties, and there are not clean, it is estimated that there are hundreds of catties.
Nearly 20 ponds, 100,000 catties are said to be small, plus their own raised, this piece of water can raise at least 150,000 catties of adult fish, not including shrimp and crabs.
After resting for a few days, Zhang Wenming and his wife also built a shed near the fish pond, and the couple discussed not going back to work, and the pigs raised at home were also sold, and the chickens and ducks were all caught here to raise, and there was nothing in the new house, so it was better to raise fish here.
The main reason is that Zhang Wenlin did not treat them badly, in addition to the 5,000 yuan given, he also promised at least one person a bonus of 1,000 yuan at the end of the year, in fact, according to Zhang Chen, 2,000 is less.
According to a few dollars a pound of pork in 96, the price level of a four-room two-story building plus decoration is only a little more than 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan is not a small number, compared with the price after 20 years, it is 20 times equal to 100,000, which is also less.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather, I pulled a few nets, and sure enough, there were fish in each net, if it wasn't for the grids that were pulled at the beginning, the fish now have nowhere to stock, and then expanded several times, until the end of November, the two ponds were enough to raise tens of thousands of catties of various fish.
At the beginning of December, there was a kind of leaflet in Batou Township and several neighboring townships, which was nothing more than the information that Zhangwan's old Zhangjia opened a pond to sell fish, and the price of all kinds of fish was clearly marked without counteroffering, which was lower than that on the market, and it was calculated in batches, the more you bought, the more discounts, the only requirement was to book in advance, pay on the spot to pull the goods.
Batches of fresh fish are still a novelty, at the beginning thousands of leaflets were sent out and there was no movement, and by the middle of December, the red and white ceremonies of some people's families in ten miles and eight towns slowly began to come to Zhangwan to book, and the reputation gradually spread.
By January 96 of the solar calendar, as it was approaching the end of the year, there were more and more people buying fish, and there were so many people queuing up to buy fish every day.
The advantage of buying fish in Zhangwan is that as long as you book the quantity and type, you will definitely have the goods according to the agreed date, no need to wait, a fixed number of waves of people will be arranged a day, and there will be a rest on Saturdays and Sundays.
At the end of the year, when the nearby river froze, Zhang Wenlin was no longer the same as half a year ago, that kind of self-confidence was restored to speak loudly, and his daughter-in-law Aiping had been sent to her mother's house to give birth, and no one in the village knew about it, but it was not a way to go for a long time, so she could only drag it back, and it would be easy to say when she gave birth.
Half of the fish in the pond have been pulled in the 20 or so, and the number is unexpectedly large, which seems to have been underestimated earlier, until mid-January, nearly 80,000 catties of various adult fish have been sold, and nearly 30 million yuan of cash is still stored in the zĂ i cooperative.
The most important thing is that excluding the remaining ponds, there are still nearly 20,000 catties of fish left in the cage alone, as well as thousands of catties of fish and shrimp and Wang Ba.
As for how much money the Zhang family earned, except for Zhang Wenlin's father and son and Zhang Wenming, no one knows, but it is estimated that there is 100,000 yuan, although there is no action in the township, but a fire trigger has been buried, maybe it will break out one day.
At the end of January, Zhang Wenlin hired all the men and young women of the entire Zhangwan Brigade who could work hard to go to the fish pond for three days at a wage of 100 a day, and pulled the remaining fish pond to only three mouths, and pulled up nearly 50,000 catties of fish and stocked them in cages.
Because the price of the Zhang family is fair, it is also convenient to sell fish, and the fame has risen for a while, as far as the township, as far as Baichong County, there are not a few people who come to buy fish.
