The one hundred and thirty-fifth octopus catches fish

After Liang Chuan and Brother Zhao went home, He Baozheng couldn't wait to come to the door. He Baozheng couldn't hide his joy on his face, but there was a faint trace of concern.

"He Baozheng, why is your face not right?"

"Today I told everyone in the village about your school, and everyone is very grateful for your kindness and is very happy, but..." He Baozheng was halfway through his words, and he couldn't speak.

"Say, how did you become as smelly and long as an old girl, and you have to say anything if you have any trouble!"

"It's a bit too much."

"How many?" Liang Chuan thought that someone was making trouble or blocking the school, but he didn't expect it to be this problem.

"More than twenty children."

Heh, Liang Chuan was startled, and thought it was a child. He remembered when he was in elementary school, a class full of more than 70 students, and he was tall and squeezed at the end, with his back against the wall at the back of the classroom. There are four classes in one grade, all of which are children from the village, which is called a sea of people, and these 20 or so children are not even a fraction of enough.

"Yo ho, so much?" Liang Chuan said with a smile.

He Baozheng's heart tightened, even this Liang Chuan felt that there were too many people, more than 20 children, paper, pen, ink, inkstone, tables and chairs, looking inconspicuous, but it was a big expense to laugh, no wonder this young man also felt that it was too much.

He Baozheng gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, I will let those babies who are still wearing open crotch pants with snot lanterns go back first, and come to the school next year, not bad for one or two years!" ”

Liang Chuan hurriedly stopped He Baozheng's words and said: "Don't, I mean the whole village is quiet on weekdays, I didn't expect that there are so many children, more than 20 children, not too many, all of them want to read and write, then arrange for them all to come over." ”

He Baozheng didn't know what to say, but he didn't expect Liang Chuan to feel sorry for the money at all, and he was worried about it for a long time, but he still couldn't help it. No one will have too much money, and no one will throw it out in vain without feeling distressed.

"By the way, did you tell the villagers about the requirements I said, since you want to study, you have to follow my rules, don't blame me for not saying it in advance."

He Baozheng patted his chest and said, "This is natural, and I have made it clear to the villagers." ”

"I've already asked the master to help make the sand table, and it takes more than twenty, and it seems that Master Zhao will have to suffer."

Liang Chuan counted the quantity, and the sand table had to make some tricks, design a lid, insert it in the middle of the compartment, and then pull it out and cover it on the sand surface, and it would become a table.

"Oh yes, are there a lot of fish in Nanxi?" Liang Chuan suddenly asked He Baozheng.

He Baozheng didn't have time or even think about fiddling with the fish in Nanxi, this kid asked why is this, do you want to fight the fish in the stream? There are many fish in Nanxi, but the stream is turbulent, and everyone can't fish, so I can't catch the fish in the stream, but it's not so easy to catch them.

"It's a lot, it's a lot and it's fat, but unfortunately I can't catch it." He Baozheng sighed, "The crucian carp, pond slippery, black and green, grass shrimp and old turtle in the stream, there are many of them, and it is also delicious to catch and drink, but just take a look, if you want to catch one, you may have to go to the river to feed the fish and shrimp." ”

He Baozheng estimated that Liang Chuan had already started the idea of the river fresh in the river, and persuaded: "San Lang, I know that you have a bright brain, but don't risk yourself to test the power of the river water, many people also want to go to the river to get some river fresh every day, and when they come back, they can eat river fresh, and when they come back, the whole village has to go to his house to eat!" ”

Liang Chuan reminisced about the pot of fish soup just now, the delicious taste kept lingering in his mind, and his mind was spinning quickly, "He Baozheng, you are waiting, please eat fresh fish." ”

Oh my God, you really want to catch fish in the river! He Baozheng grabbed Liang Chuan hard and persuaded bitterly: "San Lang, it's not that my brother is too talkative, you listen to my brother's advice, Nanxi is deep and urgent, don't go, if you don't agree today, I won't let go!" ”

Liang Chuan's heart warmed, He Baozheng's big hand was tightly cuffed, he was really afraid that he would run to the river to catch fish and lose his life.

"He Baozheng, I promise you, I haven't lived enough, how dare I joke with my own life, although I am also a strong swimmer, but outdoor swimming is not that daring." Liang Chuan's face was hip-hop, as if he was lying to his parents, I wouldn't touch the fish and dig out the eggs today.

Liang Chuan rushed to find Li Erhua, Li Erhua is always tepid. There are more and more semi-finished bamboo weaving products in the yard, one by one, almost half a wall high.

Li Erhua looked at Liang Chuan's rushing appearance, slowly fiddling with the bamboo strips in his hands, and asked unhurriedly, "Is there something wrong with the owner?" ”

Liang Chuan said: "Erhua, do you know how to make fish?" ”

"What kind of fish is just a basket, or do you want to make it into that kind of narrow-necked bamboo seed?" Li Erhua said as he pulled out a rough shape with his fingers on the ground.

Liang Chuan was overjoyed when he saw the shape that Li Erhua was drawing, Li Erhua really knew how to do it. "That's right, it's this kind of narrow-necked and fat-bellied bamboo seed, can you make it bigger, almost as big as an arm, and then change it slightly, don't want that neck, remove it, make it into the shape of a waist drum, and leave a plug."

Li Erhua said softly: "I'll try it, this kind of bamboo basket is rarely bought, so we used to make very little, and it may be a little loose when it is arm-length, it doesn't matter." ”

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Of course it doesn't matter, you do it slowly, make a finished product for me to see." ”

"What kind of ghost idea did you come up with, let's follow Erhua to learn bamboo weaving, don't you come to make trouble!" Yang Xiuyi protested to Liang Chuan solemnly.

Liang Chuan said mysteriously: "Don't dare, I'll take up a little bit of your time, Erhua will help me make a few bamboo seeds, and then I'll invite you to eat fish!" ”

As soon as he heard that he was eating, his ears pricked up, and he said, "Third brother, what kind of fish, where did the fish come from?" ”

"In Nanxi, the fresh and dancing fish, want to eat it, let me tell you, after the fish scrapes the scales and removes the belly, it is put on a bamboo pole, sprinkled with a few grains of coarse salt, and let the charcoal simmer for a while, the taste is simple. Gee! ”

Liang Chuan deliberately teased Brother Zhao, causing Brother Zhao to get angry in a hurry, and he didn't know how much he swallowed. Everyone sat in the yard weaving bamboo, looking at Brother Zhao's unproductive appearance, laughing one by one, Brother Zhao didn't feel ashamed, eating, people don't want to live this same thing.

The principle of the fish is very simple, the shape is like a waist drum, leaving a plug, this plug is like a leak, but the thin end of the funnel is the tip of the bamboo piece, just like the shape of a barb. If you sprinkle bait on the fish, it will attract a lot of fish when you put it in the water.

It is easy for the fish to get into the plug, because the funnel wall of the plug is relatively smooth, but once the fish is in, it is not so easy to come out again, because the upside-down funnel is full of barbs, and the fish can't get out, so they can only stay in the fish.

This kind of thing was taught by adults when I was a child, and the stream on the mountain was still very clear, and the fish and shrimp in the water could be seen with the naked eye. With this bamboo basket, I can get a lot of fish and shrimp every day, and go back to fry a dish for my parents. When I was a child, eating was not a key pursuit, the main thing was to have fun!

Li Erhua's hands are quite skillful, and now the bamboo strips are generally chopped and scraped by Li Chuyi, broken into small roots, and prepared for a few women. If you want to make up something, just take it and use it.

There are ready-made raw materials, and the rest is the handiwork, Li Erhua doesn't need to make it up and teach it, the progress is very fast, and a fish sprout will take shape after a while. Liang Chuan stood aside and watched carefully, giving Erhua a little advice from time to time, such as the thin end of the plug should be cut into bamboo pieces and so on.

If it were someone else, there was a person buzzing in her ears when she was doing things by herself, and she would have been unable to stand the seizure, but this person was Li Erhua, and when you were in a hurry with her, she also looked like she was smiling, you were in a hurry, and she did the work in her hands.

After half a day's effort, Li Erhua made this fish duck.

According to Liang Chuan's requirements, the plug of Yulang is made into an active funnel. Liang Chuan took the fish and looked at it carefully, and then pressed it with his hands, the quality of this bamboo basket is really excellent, and it is only slightly deformed under the hard squeezing of the two palms, and the nesting of the plug is also very compact, and there will be no signs of loosening at all.

Liang Chuan went into the house and took a hemp rope and tied it to the bamboo eye of Yu Yu. Wait a minute, this fish is going to be put in the river, there is no rope to tie it, and I don't know where to look for this fish when I turn around.

There were poultry offal left over from Yi Niang's kitchen in the kitchen, Liang Chuan took it out of the bucket again, and then asked Zhao Di to dig some earthworms in the field again, this thing is a panacea for fishing, and the fish in the river like earthworms the most.

Brother Zhao came back not long after running out of the gate with a pickaxe, and there was a large pile of earthworms in the door, and those earthworms were still wriggling in his palm. Women hate this long, wriggling creature, and they don't do it to catch fish, whether it's fishing or catching fish.

With the bait, Liang Chuan picked up the fish and ran to Nanxi with his younger brother.

The river under the Shima Bridge is the most stable, but this place is too far away, and after running such a distance, it will be dark before the fish are caught. Liang Chuan found a flat river beach near Zheng Ruoying's sugar cane field, carefully waded into the water, dug a small ditch in the mud at the bottom of the river, and placed the fish in the ditch.

The bait had been put into the fish, and after putting the fish, he returned to the shore and carefully fastened the rope that held the fish to the branch by the river.

The next thing is to wait. Nanxi is the mother river of Xinghua, but people actually guarded such a big river and did not ask for it, which really made Liang Chuan puzzled, looking at the fish jumping in the river, Liang Chuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
