Chapter 154: Out of the Fish

Lin He heard Erniu say that there was a situation of fish here, and said that if he wanted to produce fish, he would first release the water in the pond, and when the water was almost released, he would go to the pond to catch fish, and when he went to catch fish in the pond, Dasheng and Dajiang would all come, plus Erniu and Father Qin had four people.

Lin He didn't know how to catch fish in the pond that Er Niu said at first, but after asking clearly, he realized that he had to take off his shoes and go into the water. Lin He thought that there should be no rubber shoes at this time, and jumping into the pond to catch fish in such a cold weather is not something that can be done in a few minutes, I am afraid that when the fish is caught, people will also get sick, but Erniu said that there is no way, the fish in winter is like this, if there is no fish at this time, there will be no other fish when the spring comes, and the fish will be the best to sell at this time.

Lin He felt that it was definitely not a good way to catch fish in the pond, and it was better to think of a way to come out by himself, of course, it would be best if he could make rubber shoes and the kind of gelatinous clothes that he wore when he went to the pond to catch fish in his previous life, but at this time, there was no gelatinous thing, so he could think of other ways.

Lin He remembered that in his previous life, when he was a child, he also saw someone who came out of the fish when the New Year was about to come out, and the fish was also drained first, and the water in the pond was dried until it was almost a layer of shallow water, and when the silt in the pond was seen, there were people standing on both sides of the pond, and a long net was used in the middle of the pond, and when it was pulled to the end, basically most of the fish would be in the net pocket, and people would not wet their whole body, but they would stain some shoes. Presumably, this method can be used.

The material of this net pocket is here, and his father can knit it, Lin He told Erniu about this idea. Erniu thinks this method is too good, and the pond at home is also that kind of slender type, which is convenient and fast, and there are not so many people, so that the fish will not hurt the fish.

decided to follow Lin He's method to catch fish, and when the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Erniu called Dasheng Dajiang. It was said that the pond had been made and was ready to come out with fish, and the family got up early in the morning. Because the fish has to be sold in a hurry, of course, it is necessary to catch it early, and when the time comes, some will be sold in the village, and the rest will be sent to the town to be sold. If the fish wants to be fresh. It's about timing.

Dasheng and Dajiang also came early in the morning, and even Lin He's grandfather came over early in the morning, saying that this fish is a big thing, and the people in the village have never succeeded in raising fish, and now that the fish in Erniu's family has survived, it must take a lot of people to get out of the fish, and Daddy Qin thought about it and got up early in the morning to help.

Lin He looked at the cold weather, although he used a net bag. I was afraid that someone would always have to get wet or mud, so Lin He used a somewhat waterproof material at this time to make that kind of tall boots. I brought it to the pond, and I will always use it when the time comes.

When I got to the pond, because the water was pumped out, there was not much water in the pond, and the group did not delay the effort to directly pick up the net pocket and pull it up directly, but the two cows wore the tall boots on the pond, where they needed help, they went there, several people pulled in one direction at the same time, from the dawn of the day to the time of breakfast before the net was closed, but a lot of fish came out, these people looked at the fish in the net pocket and were very surprised, the largest fish was about four catties, and the other medium was more than three catties, The most common ones are grass carp, and there are also carp and crucian carp, but the number is smaller.

Erniu and Dasheng are happy, this is the result of their hard work every day for more than half a year, there is no bottom in their hearts, no one has succeeded in this matter, but this is indeed happy to see the fish. I'm afraid that these fatty fish can be sold for a lot of money at this time, the fish at this time can be sold for almost 30 wen a catty, a 4 kg fish can be sold for more than 100 wen, and there are almost 300 fish caught at a time.

There is not much food at home to raise fish, mainly to ask for artificial money, and the net income is almost twenty taels, which is very good for ordinary people at this time, but Lin He feels that although the money is not much, but the results are satisfactory, it seems that the next time you put more fish fry, if there are a few more ponds at home, it is not a matter of effort to earn one or two hundred taels of silver a year, and it is also worth doing.

After the fish was caught, many people in the village came to the pond to see, and many people came to buy, and the people in the village came to buy, and the price of Erniu was lowered, and it could have been sold for thirty wen a catty, and it was sold to the people in the village for twenty-five wen a catty, although everyone felt that the price of the fish was a little expensive compared to the meat, but it was rare that there was only one time a year, and it was nothing to be extravagant.

When the village came to buy fish, they bought about two catties of relatively small fish, and a fish was almost fifty yuan. After the people in the village bought it, there was still more than half of the fish left, all of which were relatively large, and Lin He urged Erniu and Dajiang to send them to the town to sell them quickly, presumably it should also be easy to sell.

The Huang family left a lot of fish out, and the fish in his own house must be sent some fish as a favor, and the mother-in-law's family and mother-in-law must be sent over, Dasheng and Dajiang are all helping, and they also want to send one to the past, and Aunt Xu's family wants to send it, plus Father Qin wants to keep one, and leave a few in his own house, and the rest will be sent to the town by Erniu.

Erniu they transported the fish to the street and sold it out quickly, the price was 30 wen a catty, many people were a few to buy, some people did not buy, and asked if there was tomorrow, Erniu said that this is good, I didn't expect this fish to be so easy to sell.

When I arrived at home in the evening, I counted the money from selling fish today, and left some out of my own home, plus the ones sold in the village, and sold them for twenty-eight taels, and Erniu said that there were few people who sold fish on the street, and some of the fish sold were small and all turned over in the pot, and the fish at home was very fresh, even if it was more expensive, there would be many people to buy it.

Erniu said happily that next year, if you can, it is best to open a few more ponds to come out, and then it is enough for so many people to take care of them, and there is not too much capital left and right, and the pond is about the same size as this, and the fish can be put a little more, and you can make a lot of money twice a year.

Lin He felt that if Erniu liked it, let them do it, anyway, there were long-term workers to take care of the family's fields. The eight acres of land that they originally added to their home were also handed over to the long-term workers to take care of, so they had nothing to do, and it was a good idea to open a few fish ponds.
