Chapter 8 Wang Ba looks at mung beans
Someone asked, the iron hook of the Song Dynasty was not so strong, and the rope was not so strong, would the big fish break and run away? The answer is no! Because this roller hook is floating on the sea surface by a large number of pontoons, after the fish bites the hook, it wants to pull the rope or the hook can not borrow strength, as soon as it struggles, the whole roller hook and the pontoon will follow it, and the hook next to it will also hook on it, and eventually it will be entangled alive. So, this kind of hook must be made big, it is specially used to deal with hundreds or even hundreds of catties of big fish, it is meaningless to be small, there are always small fish biting the hook, it is not enough to pick up the hook and work hard, the fish is not tired to death, people are tired to death first.
There is a way, but you have to ask for the consent of Bo Fu and Chen Mingen, and now there should be three. As soon as the morning dawned, three wooden boats of similar size approached, and this kind of boat was called a row boat, which generally did not go out to the sea, but only lived as a house. The three boats that came this time were all a family, and the head of the family was an old man about the same age as Bo Fu, surnamed Huang Minghai, who was Bo Fu's wife and brother. He was accompanied by his eldest son Huang Lang, second son Huang Tao, and youngest daughter Huang Sha, who are also Chen Mingen's prospective daughters-in-law, and these three families are relatives of the trap.
"This method is similar to the bamboo basket that catches cuttlefish, and the man who has read the book is clever, we can try it, the big deal is just a few fishing nets!" Huang Hai likes to talk a little more than Bo Fu, and his Chinese is also much more neat, and after listening to Hong Tao's method, he was the first to express his support.
"Let the Li family on the mountain help us weave a bamboo cage and exchange it for fish!" Bo Zhu has been staring at Hong Tao since she came, and her big eyes are staring at Hong Tao when she has nothing to do, and she is afraid that what she supports is not Hong Tao's method, but Hong Tao's person.
"Don't be busy first, let's try to make a ground cage first, if it's easy to use, it's not too late to find someone to weave a bamboo cage, so as not to waste." Although Hong Tao is very sure of these three methods, he has nothing but a set of clothes, and the money and goods have to be Bofu, Huang Hai, and Chen Mingen, so he doesn't want to make the scale too big all of a sudden. In case something goes wrong, a ground cage is not worth much, and a lot of bamboo cages are still on credit, which is a big burden for these poor Tan families.
"Tao Lingzi is right, don't be busy first, this is not Australia, one side of the water and soil to raise one person, his method may not work, try it safely first." Chen Mingen agrees with Hong Tao's opinion, now that Hong Tao is his godson, if something happens, he will have to be responsible.
"My family has a net!" The Yellow Sea is relatively neat, just do it.
"My family also has a net! Grandpa ...... "Before Bo Fu could speak, Bo Zhu came again, and after finishing speaking, he glared at Bo Fu, and Bo Fu could only nod and accept his fate."
"I only have one net in my house, and it's out!" Chen Mingen looked at his own son, gritted his teeth and let go, fortunately, Chen Qihong was whispering to his fiancée Huang Sha who had never been through the door in the distance, and he didn't know that his grandfather had donated his fishing nets.
"It's not early, let's catch the sea!" Bo Fu is more stubborn, he is not very optimistic about Hong Tao's idea, his ancestors have been casting nets to fish for generations, and he has never heard of making a cage to sit at home and wait for the fish to come on the boat. But with Chen Mingen and Huang Hai supporting Hong Tao, although they feel sorry for their own fishing nets, they can only endure it, and they have resentment in their hearts, and their faces are not very good-looking.
"I'll stay and weave the net!" At this time, Bozhu jumped out again.
"......%¥¥#" Bo Fu simply muttered in their Tanjia dialect this time, probably teaching his daughter a lesson, but unfortunately he didn't seem to be able to control this daughter, so he could only jump into the boat with his head down.
"Brother, don't be angry, it doesn't matter if this guy's method succeeds or not, your Azhu has taken a fancy to him, and he will use a few fishing nets to change you for a son-in-law, why are you still angry! That's a good thing, hehehe? Huang Hai and his two sons also jumped on the boat one after another, and then whispered to Bo Fu in Tanjia dialect, and also bowed to Bo Zhu on the big boat, and then pulled up the broken sail with a smile.
"Uncle is right, our sister also has a family!" As soon as Bo Xiaoer asked his uncle to say this, he immediately understood, and cracked his mouth and laughed.
"Grandpa is confused, or your uncle can see it clearly, junior, sing, let's go!" Bo Fu listened to Huang Hai's words, turned his head to look at the little girl on the big boat, and then reacted, and immediately laughed, and with three rubs, he pulled up the broken sail and roared.
"Heavy rain, flooded streets,
Brother Danchai is sold on the street.
Sister-in-law went out on the street with flower shoes,
Flower shoes, flower socks, flower belts. ”
Bo Xiaosan stood at the stern of the boat and rocked the oars with his brother, and sang in Tanjia dialect with his throat. The song was blown far away with the sea breeze, and under his influence, various songs also sounded on several small wooden boats of the Tan family that were going out to sea on the sea.
"What are they singing?" Hong Tao couldn't understand a word, so he could only ask others, who was the other person? Looking around, Chen Mingen didn't know when he slipped away, Chen Qihong and Huang Sha also rowed a boat and went out to sea, several women were busy washing and taking care of the children, and only Bo Zhu's big eyes were around.
"Brother is singing a saltwater song, our Tan's boat song, is it good? I'll sing too! "Bo Zhu is a very outgoing character, he can't hide anything in his heart, and what he thinks is all on his face and mouth.
"Sing when we catch a lot of fish, and now let's make fishing nets." Hong Tao knew her thoughts very well, for such a simple fisherman, he didn't even have the courage to tell nonsense, so he could only find an excuse that sounded pretty good.
It's not that the Tan family can't go ashore, it's just that the government doesn't let them buy real estate and build houses on the shore, and it's okay to chop firewood, exchange goods, and go into the city to buy and sell things. Bo Zhu was very capable, she and Hong Tao threw all three fishing nets into a small wooden boat, and then beckoned her two sisters-in-law and two cousins-in-law, rowed to the beach together, let Hong Tao look at the boat, a few of them barefoot, brandishing firewood knives into the woods on the shore, and after a while, they cut back two large piles of firewood, and lit a bonfire on the shore.
Next, the women began to cut a bamboo with a firewood knife, then cut the bamboo into pieces, scraped the bamboo knots and burrs, and according to Hong Tao's request, while smoking and roasting on the fire, the bamboo strips were braided, and finally made into bamboo braids that were arm thick and 5 or 6 meters long. This thing has exceeded Hong Tao's expectations, he originally planned to use bamboo as a support, but Bo Zhu said that the bamboo is not strong, so the woven bamboo strips are easy to use, after the sea water is wet, it is difficult to cut with a knife, as long as the place that needs to be bent is blackened with fire, it will not be deformed. Hong Tao took a baked bamboo braid and tried it, indeed, very tough, this is really the wisdom of life.
