Chapter 72 [New Nets]

After so many days of hard work, although the aphid plague in the field has been basically controlled, and the brick licking has resumed production, Li Qingshan is still a little busy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Recently, the fish harvest of the fishing scouts in the village has been declining, and after careful questioning, I learned that after these days of fishing, the damaged area of the fishing nets is too large, and they have been sent for major repairs, but the speed of repair is far from keeping up with the speed of damage.

So there are fewer nets in use these days than usual, and this is the reason for the low fish harvest. After listening to the complaints of the hairy boys, Li Qingshan made a promise, saying that he would think of a way to see if he could solve this problem.

After sending them away, Li Qingshan went back to the room alone to get a pen and paper, and couldn't wait to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard and start drawing.

The twine used to repair the net also costs money, and if you repair it, you have to count the labor costs, although the money is not much, but it is also a lot of money over time.

As long as it is related to money, Li Qingshan attaches great importance to it, because he now has a goal, to save money and build a big house to live in.

It's best to build a big villa and live comfortably, the house in the future generations is so expensive that it will be too expensive, and now you can't treat yourself badly, how can you do it in this small farm yard.

Make a big warehouse again, fill a warehouse full of garlic, and let Daddy Yang live a happy second half of his life in the garlic pile, and it is best to recruit a mother-in-law for him to continue the winding.

Of course, I also have to think about the future, it's best to marry a third wife and four concubines, and then desperately have a baby, haha...... Li Qingshan couldn't help but look forward to it.

So, you have to refuel to make money, refuel to save money.

Yang Daxuan finished selling the fishy smell, changed his clothes and came out of the room, and was about to go out, when he walked to the yard and saw that he was painting, so he came over curiously.

"Aoyama, what are you drawing?"

Li Qingshan whispered something.

Yang Daxuan was taken aback, and looked at him in disbelief: "Open ...... Are you kidding? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ma Blacksmith's Ma family iron shop is diagonally opposite the north and south wine shops.

Yang Daxuan, a kid and a blacksmith, is often seen, scurrying in and out of the blacksmith all day long, Uncle Ma is long and Uncle Ma is short, and his mouth seems to be smeared with honey every day. Recently, because he often goes to the market to sell fish, he has been even more diligent, and every time he comes, he brings him several big fat fish.

Li Qingshan has also been here a few times recently, this baby is studious, every time he comes back to the blacksmith, he pesters him to ask this and that, and occasionally one or two questions that sound quite professional burst out of his mouth, and some of them can't even be answered by the blacksmith.

Ah Xing, the junior apprentice in the iron shop, didn't like him the most, because he always doubted whether Li Qingshan also wanted to be an apprentice in the iron shop and grab this job with him.

At this time, Li Qingshan didn't know where to find an iron bar, held it in his hand and played with the fire in the stove, and after a while, he screamed at the heat, and said with a smile Uncle Ma, it's really not easy to strike iron, it's hot.

Ah Xing next to him hurriedly said, "What do you think, this business is not something you can do if you want to." ”

The horse blacksmith couldn't help but turn around and scolded Ah Xing: "Ah Xing, your brain is hot, right?" What are you thinking, the young baby can't count the money now, can you still look at our business? ”

He is in his early forties, of medium height, although he is not burly, but he hammers and hammers iron all day long, and his body is strong, and the palms of his two hands are thick with calluses, and he looks like a pragmatic man.

Ah Xing was not convinced, his thin little body stiffened, and he asked in surprise: "Is it him?" ”

The blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand, and his voice was louder than just now: "What's wrong with him, he not only earns money himself, but also helps our whole village earn money!" You kid hasn't been back to the village for a long time, and no one has told you, right? People can sell a brick for a big price, and a bunch of people rush to buy it from other places, do you have this ability? ”

Ma blacksmith scolded Ah Xing in a thick voice, Ah Xing touched his head, his mouth opened wide, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Li Qingshan stabbed the fire again, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, if you help me brag indiscriminately, be careful that Ah Xing will run away tomorrow and learn to burn bricks instead." ”

Ah Xing turned his head at this time, and said angrily: "Why don't you go to other places to burn bricks, Master has taught me a long time ago, that thing is easier than striking iron." ”

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, the horse blacksmith could even burn bricks, and he couldn't see it.

"Uncle Ma knows a lot!" Yang Daxuan patted Li Qingshan's shoulder and signaled him not to patronize and play, "...... Aoyama, don't you want to get down to business? ”

The blacksmith Ma let out a "huh", then stopped what he was doing, looked around, moved a strange-looking iron bench, wiped it with a little black cloth, and the stool suddenly seemed to be even dirtier.

"What's wrong with you two? Come, green baby, sit, Xuanwazi, stand. ”

Li Qingshan threw the iron bar in his hand next to the stove, walked over and sat down with a smile, took out a drawing from his arms, and said, "Uncle Ma, come today, I have something to trouble you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Li Qingshan talked about the recent major repair of the fishing net, and finally explained his intentions: "...... Uncle Ma, it's not a way to go on like this, I thought about it, I have to get a better net, it's best not to tinker with it, it's best to repair it once in a few months, so as to save worry. Well, I've got all the drawings. ”

"What do you mean by not tinkering?" The horse blacksmith was a little incomprehensible.

Yang Daxuan interjected: "Uncle Ma, Qingshan said that if you use his cage to fish, you basically don't need to repair it in the future, at most you will make up for it once a month, and once every six months." ”

"What?"

The blacksmith's eyes were straight.

His reaction was almost exactly the same as Yang Daxuan's at that time, but Yang Daxuan's sentence of "what are you kidding" almost didn't want to blurt out, Ma Blacksmith didn't say it so directly, but the look on his face already showed his attitude.

Fishing nets that don't need to be repaired?

Are you kidding? How is this possible?!

Therefore, when Li Qingshan handed him the design drawings of the ground cage, the blacksmith Ma did not hold out any hope at all, and took it and glanced at it.

But he only glanced at it, and his eyes were like being drawn to a magnet, and he couldn't leave the blueprint anymore.

The drawings are very detailed, from the front, from the side, from perspective, and even cross-sections, as long as you are not stupid, you can basically see it by a person, not to mention a craftsman like Ma Blacksmith, who knocks and beats every day.

Traditional fishing nets, if you want to catch fish, the price must be the damage of the fishing net, as the old saying goes, the fish die and the net is broken.

However, the cage in front of him, the horse blacksmith no longer knew what words to use to describe it.

To put it bluntly, this is a cage with iron bars as keel and ordinary fishing nets as the outer skin, and from the outside, it is an oblate cylinder.

But what makes it special is that there are strange holes on the left and right sides.

The outer opening of the hole is large, the hole is sloping, and as the hole deepens, the inside gets smaller and smaller. The final medial opening is small and leads to the inside of the cage.

It looks like the left and right sides of the cage have been forced into two conical funnels.

Blacksmith Ma is obviously a qualified craftsman, so he can see the principle of this thing at a glance, and he doesn't need Li Qingshan to explain it anymore.

Ah Xing, who came over to see the excitement, was confused, obviously the heat was still bad.

Blacksmith Ma changed his attitude just now, pointed to a place on the drawing and asked seriously: "Qingwazi, what is this small iron frame in the middle for?" ”

Li Qingshan thought that he would ask about the purpose of those two holes, but he didn't expect to ask this.

"Uncle Ma, when you really want to fish, put a bait in this small iron frame, pig offal or pig belly or something...... Anyway, whatever flavor is big, as long as you can successfully hook the fish. ”

At this time, he had an urge to tell the blacksmith that this was actually the place where UFOs were placed, and he didn't know what his expression would be after listening to it.

After putting the pork brisket, the cage is like a UFO exhibition hall for the fish, with the door open and free of charge, but only in and out.

Make dozens of such exhibition halls, throw them into the water, and you can shamelessly trap fish.

The horse blacksmith pointed to the drawings and muttered to himself: "I understand, in fact, the principle is simple, it is these two holes, too evil ......"

Ah Xing still didn't know what was going on: "Master, it's just two holes, why are they evil?" ”

"Out of breath, just your head, are you afraid that people and young babies will come to steal your job, can't you see it? These two holes can only be entered but not exited, and once the fish get in and into the cage, it will be difficult to get out again......"

"Why?"

The horse blacksmith glared at him, and looked like he hated that iron could not become steel: "Because the hole you go in is big, and the hole you come out is small, and the funnel, have you used it?" ”

"Yes, that's the truth, it's like a funnel." Li Qingshan nodded and said, "But this funnel is net-shaped, and it is even more difficult for the fish to get out." ”

Ah Xing now understands a little.

"And the bait is wrapped in this small iron frame, even if you get into it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it......"

Speaking of this, Blacksmith Ma finally looked up at Li Qingshan: "Qingwazi, you can figure it out, Uncle Ma!" ”

I didn't expect this kid to fiddle with ladybugs has a set, fiddling with the fish, it is also decent, this cage does not seem to need to be repaired in the later stage, because it is not like the traditional fishing net, the traditional fishing net is to use the net line to entangle the fish, and this is to trick the fish into the cage and lock it up.

No entanglement, no struggle, naturally there will be no damage.

In fact, there is another benefit of this cage Li Qingshan didn't say that when fishing with this cage, the fish generally don't die, and it is just used to train cormorants.

Recently, there is no money to buy live fish, there are many people, and the training is intensive, and the progress of the cormorants is very obvious. If this cage can be used again, the number of live fish can be raised to a higher level, and the size of cormorants can be expanded again.

"Uncle Ma, this is just a drawing, I have to trouble you to spend more time and get it out early, the fishing net is nervous now."

Blacksmith Ma folded the drawing and returned it to Li Qingshan, patted his chest and said, "Cheng, it's wrapped in Uncle Ma!" But I can tell you, Uncle Ma is only responsible for the skeleton, and you have to figure out how to wrap these hemp nets outside. ”

"The fishing nets are easy to get, there are ready-made ones in the market, I have already contacted them, and I am waiting for you." Li Qingshan pointed to the drawings in his hand and asked, "Uncle Ma, don't use the drawings?" ”

Ma blacksmith waved his hand and said: "I remember it at a glance, what other drawings do you use, do you think Uncle Ma doesn't have a brain like Ah Xing?" ”

Ah Xing, who was lying on the gun, did not speak, silently returned to the stove, silently picked up a pair of pliers and got to work.

“…… If it doesn't work, not only will you not be charged, but you will smash the signboard at Uncle Ma's door. ”

Blacksmith Ma paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Qingwazi, Uncle Ma doesn't know what method you use, but since you can catch so many fish every day, you have to save the cost of repairing, which is too picky." ”

Li Qingshan disagreed: "Uncle Ma, if you can save a penny, one penny is enough to buy two or three garlic now, enough for my father to chew for two whole days!" ”

Blacksmith Ma was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He also listened to the chatter of the people in the village. Ever since the ladybug story spread, the price of garlic has plummeted.

I have to take this baby, the time to sell garlic is really accurate, if you buy it two days later, you won't be able to sell it at that price.

The money from selling garlic was finally distributed to the villagers, and not only were they not blackmailed by Song Buren, but they also seemed to have blackmailed Song Buren.

I thought that Song Buren was more picky than the iron rooster on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of ladybugs this time, I heard that he had several warehouses of garlic, and he dreamed of taking advantage of this good opportunity of the insect plague to make a big profit, who knew that in the end he could only hold the tens of thousands of garlic, and he wanted to die crying.

Evil is rewarded.

"Qingwazi, garlic is really relieved. You don't know, that Song Ye has done his best to cheat the people's money on weekdays, and he is very cunning, he is all taking advantage of some government loopholes, so no one can take care of it. He hasn't planted a big heel in this area, and this large-scale bloodletting seems to be the first time he has suffered it! ”

However, the blacksmith Ma was relieved in his mouth, and he was worried about Li Qingshan in his heart, that Song Ye was not a master to be messed with, Qing Wazi's invention of the method of treating aphids with a scoop this time caused him to bleed, and the cart of garlic sold before the price of garlic was obviously placed on his side, this breath, I am afraid that the surname Song will not be so easy to swallow.

was thinking about how to wake up this baby, but Ah Xing suddenly stood up, rushed over in a panic, squeezed his eyebrows vigorously, and kept pouting outside.

The blacksmith looked out, and saw five or six ruffian-looking people walking towards him, looking into the shop with ill-intentioned eyes.

The horse blacksmith patted Ah Xing's head and asked urgently, "Ah Xing, have you forgotten to give them this month's filial piety money?" ”

Ah Xing shouted in his mouth: "Master, on the fifth day of the new year, didn't you give it in front of you?" Have you forgotten? ”

Ma Blacksmith thought about it, it seems that it is indeed given, this is a big deal, today is the tenth day of the first year, if you really forget, according to the temperament of these ancestors, I am afraid that it will be killed the next day, and it is impossible to delay it until now. The rules for paying money on the fifth day of the first day of each month were set by these ancestors, and if they pay two days late, they will have to charge a late fee.

The horse blacksmith muttered: "These gang of killers, all the money has been taken, why are you still here?" It's broken, it can't be ......"

Li Qingshan turned his head and glanced at the door, looked at the horse blacksmith, and then at Yang Daxuan, and saw that they all had similar expressions, and suddenly understood a little in his heart.

Dare to love at this time, there is a Gu Chao boy to collect protection money?

The Chinese people are too great, not to talk about the four major inventions, and even such a creative way of making a living as collecting protection fees is also walking in the prostate of the world.

No, to be at the forefront of the world.

No matter what they are trying to do, it looks like they are not good. Ma Blacksmith immediately made a decision, and asked Li Qingshan and Yang Daxuan to hurry up and flash first, this kind of dark side of the market, it is better for these two babies to have less contact.

The gangsters had already gotten closer, and when they saw the blacksmith Ma pushing the two brothers outside, one of the leaders was angry for no reason, kicked at the "Majia Iron Shop" signboard at the door, and shouted: "What do you mean, the fourth master will not swallow people, and when he sees the fourth master coming, he will run away, what do you think of the fourth master......?"

The sound stopped abruptly.

This kick was not just right, it happened to kick on the iron skeleton, the soles of this person's feet hurt for a while, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Fuck it!"

This guy was pretending to be angry just now, but now he was really angry, grabbed the signboard and smashed it to the ground.

The signboard skeleton was an iron bar, but the front was a wooden plank, which could not withstand such a heavy impact, and suddenly it was torn apart, and sawdust and wood chips were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing that the dream of the horse blacksmith being smashed by someone finally came true at this moment, Li Qingshan was also angry, but he did not lose his mind, these people were so unreasonable, it didn't seem that they were coming for the horse blacksmith.

It seems to be coming for him.
