Chapter 251: The Great Harvest
Fatty, throw the bamboo pole down. (->" Zhang Niu hugged the fishing net and shouted to the shore
There was a bundle of bamboo poles placed there in the evening, so that at night, after collecting the fishing nets, they were used to fix their positions.
In everyone's hands, more or less holding the fishing net, the fishing net forms a big concave bag, and the fork tail is concentrated on the fish bag.
The fat man threw down the whole bundle of bamboo poles, splashed the water all over the pond, and made Zhang Niu and their faces were full of pond water, which was only more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and the degree of pulling the net was not too slow.
The sinking net did not appear, and the net had already been closed, and no one knew that there was such a thing, looking at the forked tail struggling in the net bag, it was a lot, revealing a shining dorsal fin.
"Do you want the fish pond?"
"Wait a minute, we'll fix the net." Zhang Niu lowered his head and buried his head in untying the rope.
The embroidery rod is sharpened underneath, it is easier to enter the soil, with a little slope inserted into the pond low, the fishing net is tied around the embroidery rod, this hand is tied to the net, Zhang Niu will not.
This is the handiwork of pulling fish, which seems simple, but it is not easy to learn.
After inserting ten bamboo poles, Zhang Niu said to the shore, "Throw the fishing pond in the black bag." ”
After the fishing net is secured. Will start fishing. This is the tiring work of pulling fish. Picking fish depends on a lot of people. Fortunately, this pond is forked tail. There are no other fish. It's going to be fast.
The fat man walked down on his own. Actually, it's coming to pick fish. It's a lot of fun.
The nets are fastened there. Inside the fork tail. Quiet. Didn't stir the pond water wantonly. That's when it stopped. Whoever will pour the water over. Mesh bag interior fork tail. It's starting to make trouble again.
"Uncle Shengming. You say how many fish can there be in this net. There is no need to pull the second Internet café, how many fish are in this net, and there is a big question mark in his heart. I can only turn to Uncle Shengming for help.
Uncle Shengming just said that the fishing nets are fixed on the shore. Smoke a cigarette. This is just the end of the net. It's really hard. Pulling fish is the hardest summer, but it is easy to say. In winter, wear black rubber floor pants.
Standing in the pond. It was really cold, and it was a fish farm. All went out of town. The weather is warm, and the fish can survive the winter, and it doesn't have to be dry. So troublesome.
In Zhangjia Village, when the Chinese New Year was nearly a month away, many fish farmers began to get busy, pumping water and pulling fish, which was non-stop.
Slowly exhaled, "This net fish, there should be a lot of nets, and the stirring in it is estimated that it is no problem to reach thousands of catties, and you can make it clear by a few specific counts." ”
After smoking a cigarette, everyone started to get busy.
The seven people fixed the fishing pond on the edge of the net, forming a white mosquito net hanging at home, with six embroidered rods on each side.
"Yes, this fork tail is quite big." One of the guys said.
There is a street lamp outside, but under the water, the lights still have to be turned on, or you can't see clearly.
"Fatty, rice bucket, Liu Wei, you have to be careful later, this is not another fish." Zhang Niu kindly reminded.
"What's dangerous? This is not a fish, is it still capable of resisting? Liu Wei didn't understand, he was very puzzled, why was this fish dangerous.
"You're from the city. This is no ordinary grass carp. You see. "Saying that in the water, holding the lower abdomen of the forked tail" You take a closer look, there are bone spurs in front of the forktail's mouth and behind it, if this is stung, it is not very uncomfortable. And don't look at this bone spur growing outside, it's very hard, and you keep folding it with one hand. ”
"No, it's that powerful." Liu Wei didn't seem to believe it.
"Really, this fish grew up eating small fish, your teeth are simply a small shark, or how can you catch small fish, small shrimp, gnaw and eat, wait for you to see, don't catch it easily, even if you want to catch, then you have to hold the neck of the fish, other places are not slippery, you can't catch it at all." Zhang Niu said what he knew.
"Well, is this forktail big enough?" The fishmonger on the shore, shouted down.
Standing on it, I can only see the approximate shadow, the churning pond water, and I can't see how big the fork tail is.
"Yes, it's bigger than what we collect." The guy responded.
After hearing this, the fishmongers on the shore were relieved, I heard that this mountain village has forked tails, raised for nearly a year, and the forked tails they collected around the county town are basically very small, only about four to five catties, which is too small, if it is transported to their own side to sell, this is okay, very popular.
This trip is to be shipped elsewhere, but people want big ones, and small ones are not very satisfied.
This fork tail has to be fed well, in order to grow fast, it takes a year, and compared to other fish, it is difficult to take care of, like a lady's temper, the most afraid is the weather is fickle.
When I first heard that the mountain village had a forked tail, I was excited to hear it, but I was afraid that the weight was too light.
"And then." As soon as the words fell, a black shadow was thrown out.
The fishmonger ducked outside, and the black shadow fell to the ground, jumping, it turned out to be a forked tail, which was Zhang Niu let the rice bucket throw up.
The forktail landed on the ground, tossing up and down, trying to get back into the water.
The fishmonger stepped forward and gently pinched the neck of the fish, it was quite heavy, it was enough to have ** catties, thinking of this young man, there was a good way to raise this fork tail, and it would take less than a year to raise such a big one.
Elsewhere, I really hadn't seen it, so I threw the fork tail in my hand into the fish cart.
The fork tail has such a weight, sell it over there, don't be afraid of any difficulties, fish, as long as there are enough large ones, and the slightly smaller fork tails can be ignored
"Oops."
After only a while of picking fish, Liu Wei won the lottery, and a small hole in his hand flowed blood.
"Damn, what you just said is really right, I just wanted to hold my lower abdomen and throw it over, but I hit my hand, and it hurts." Put your finger in your mouth and suck it off.
This method is very common, if Zhang Niu himself has bleeding on his fingers, he will suck it back by himself, no matter how he says it's his own blood, it will be wasted in vain, it is better to make up for himself.
"Wait and go up, just wash it with fertilizer, you just caught, how can you learn to win Uncle Ming, he is an expert at catching fish, aren't you asking for hardship." Zhang Niu couldn't laugh or cry at this.
I didn't learn to catch fish, so I started first, and that's too much.
"This is still seeing the fork tail, I want to try it, but I don't know that this guy doesn't give face."
This is just a small episode of picking fish, and after a while, Zhang Niu and the fat man were hit a few times, and they just turned the fork tail at the bottom.
After nearly half an hour of confusion, several people leaned on the pond to rest, which was relatively fast for the fishmongers.
Fish at two to three o'clock in the middle of the night, that's the most normal.
"Estimate how many fish there can be." The fishmongers came and pulled out their cigarettes, one for each of them.
"How many fish do you want, just pulled the sinking net and this fork tail is relatively large, just counted it, it is estimated that there are four thousand catties of fork tails, one is counted as eight catties, there is this number, and many of them are more than this number, I don't believe you can ask your guys to catch the heart." Shengming said as he smoked his cigarette.
The two men then nodded, proving that they were right.
"If that's the case, this car is almost loaded, and it is estimated that there are a lot of forks and tails in the pond after sinking the net, so let's pull it next time." The forked tail of 4,000 catties was unexpected by the fishmongers.
I thought that if I got one to two thousand catties, I would be fine, but I didn't know that there could be four thousand, which was considered a full load.
This is still one of the sinking nets, and a lot of them have run away, otherwise there are more than that, and there are not many forked tails thrown outside.
"You rest here, I'll take this tilapia to the kitchen, and eat fish porridge together later." When picking fish, it was a surprise that there were two tilapia of more than two catties in the fork tail.
Zhang Niu estimated that this was the last time it rained, so run in.
I didn't think that I could eat a fish porridge feast in the middle of the night.
In addition to getting the fish to the kitchen, in fact, you have to take out the industrial salt you bought, scatter it into the pond, pull the fish in the middle of the night, stir the lake, and fear that it will float tomorrow.
After scattering into the pond, you don't have to worry so much.
"Liang Shan, I'm ready to make supper." Zhang Niu, who came in with the fish, shouted.
"Is it boiling noodles, or is it ......?"
Shook off the Luo Feiyu in his hand, "Let's make fish porridge at night, I didn't expect that there would be tilapia running in my pond." ”
"I'm worried about what to burn, it's the best now, it's the best to eat fish porridge at night." Took the fish from Zhang Niu's hand. "Then you go out and get busy, this fish porridge will be ready soon."
Zhang Niu, who was carrying a bag of industrial salt, had a black bucket in his hand.
Drop the bucket on the ground, untie the salt bag, pour the water into the pond, and start swaying.
Even the fish pond was sprinkled with a lot of salt water, so that the fork tail suddenly quieted down.
This fish pond was also taken by Uncle Shengming, Zhang Niu raised fish by himself, but he didn't buy anything, and he usually forgot about it.
After a while, Zhang Niu spilled the entire bag of salt water.
"You can pass the scales, and rest early." After all, it's going to be late, and for those nightlife, it's just the beginning.
"Rice bucket, you go to the two fish buckets next to you and bring them over." After the boss arrived, Zhang Niu proposed to use the fish bucket on his side and personally weigh it to the fishmonger.
A blue fish bucket weighs twenty weights, and these blue plastic buckets are used to hold compounds.
How much money can be bought back, the whole bucket is sealed, and after buying it, use a red-hot thin iron rod to scald out small round holes one by one, and you can put the fish bucket in the water.
Usually there are fish, you can keep them in it, put the fish bucket in the water, and then insert an embroidery rod.
The pond water is good for raising fish, and it will not die at night.
The scale is a large rod scale brought by Zhang Niu from home, which can weigh more than 200 catties at most.
The fork tails of buckets were lifted up and weighed one by one.
The fat man remembered the numbers on the side.
"Two hundred and thirty"
"Two hundred and fifty." ……
"One hundred and sixty-seven, this is the last barrel."
The fishmonger's buddy was already standing in the car, reversing the forktail into the car.
It was just 3,900 catties, and the fishmonger was easy to discuss, so he directly counted it as 4,000 catties, saying that it was good to wait for the banknotes.
Twelve pieces a pound. Forty-eight thousand yuan, Zhang Niu was afraid of making a mistake at night, so let the fat man and Shengming come over to liquidate, it was a little dark at night, and it was difficult to recognize real money and fake money.
After the liquidation was correct, the fishmongers hurried back and did not stay to eat fish porridge.
"Everyone is taking a shower and waiting to eat." Zhang Niu said with a smile.
Holding a bundle of banknotes in his hand, the red is shining, which is lucky, or usually, the price will fluctuate between eight and nine yuan.
That's the price it has now.
