Chapter 40 Drainage Fishing
"Mother, hurry up, the second master said that he was going to catch fish today."
Yesterday Li Chen bought a water pump, and Dudu woke up early this morning, and didn't even eat breakfast, so he pulled his mother and ran outside the house.
There are more than ten families in the village, basically every family has someone to come, Li Chen is going to turn over the pond today, one person will definitely not be able to do it, everyone comes to join in the fun.
"Second uncle, there are no such long wires at home, can you use this pump?"
Dudu's father, Li Mingjie, carried a water pump and asked Li Chen, most of the wells in the village are still hung with hemp rope, and there are very few who can afford to use a rocker.
Li Mingjie saw the pumping machine at his eldest brother's house, and they were all installed with electricity and pumped to the roof water tank, Li Chen, the big guy, didn't see the wires, and Li Mingjie didn't know how to use it.
"Don't worry! This is not an electric pump, as long as you have him. ”
Li Chen pointed to the gasoline barrel that Li Shaohua was carrying, and Li Chen was fully prepared to turn over the pond this time.
After Li Chen arrived at the fish pond, the edge of the fish pond was already full of people, Li Chengye and Li Chengcheng were organizing women to mow the grass, there were too many weeds on the edge of the fish pond, and they couldn't even walk without cutting them.
Boom, boom, boom,
After the pump was filled with oil, Li Chen shook it lightly and made a roaring sound, sixty drainage pipes drained fifteen cubic meters per hour, today Li Chen selected the largest fish pond to drain.
"Shaohua, you take a look here, if the oil is not enough, you can refuel here, turn off the ignition and leave it like this...... ...... like this"
It takes more than an hour to drain the water, except for the women who are mowing the grass, several brothers and nephews are all looking for fishing tools, Li Chen is not trying to be lazy, but suddenly thinks that the newly planted watermelons in the territory are ripe.
In the countryside, it is not possible to solve it with money, but also need human favors, just like today, no matter how many fish are caught later, people who come today will bring one back.
There is only one person in Li Chen's family, and he must be too busy serving tea and water, so it's okay to cut a few watermelons, and the watermelons in the territory don't need money.
"The second master is here, sweet big watermelon!"
Dudu saw Li Chen coming back with a watermelon from a distance, standing on the edge of the fish pond and shouting happily, only Dudu in Lijia Village has a good mouth and can taste Li Chen's watermelon in advance.
"Slug, stand better."
Li Mingjie went down to the fish pond in water pants, and saw Dudu running along the edge of the pond, roaring at Dudu with a cold face, and was so frightened that Dudu stood there and didn't dare to move.
Li Chen: "Mingjie, Lin Jie, Yingjie...... Second uncle, ninth uncle, come over and eat some watermelon, this is a new variety sent by my classmate, saying that it is a new variety grown at home.
Let's try it, I'll make money with this stuff in the future! ”
Li Chengye: "What kind of money can you make by planting watermelons, a few years ago, Huajie planted a few acres of watermelons, but he couldn't sell them because of different mountain roads.
A family in the village sent some, which made everyone afraid when they saw watermelons for a while. ”
Li Chengcheng: "Second brother, you look at Chenzi first, this melon is much more delicious than Huajie, but this mountain road is ...... Sigh......"
Second aunt: "Old man, don't say a few words, Chenzi's watermelon is so delicious, it can't stop your mouth." ”
Li Huajie: "Second uncle, is your melon potion, it tastes crisp and sweet, and there is always an indescribable taste." ”
Li Chen: "Hehe, Hua Jie, you can eat it with confidence, this melon has been tested by vegetables and fruits, and there are formal documents, are you still afraid that the second uncle's melon is poisonous?" ”
Li Chengcheng: "Gua Wazi is not sensible, can your second uncle harm you?" ”
Li Huajie didn't dare to talk back to Li Chengcheng, the only two elders left in the village, Li Chengye usually smiled and rarely got angry, Li Chengcheng was strict and didn't like to laugh, and he was the fire head sacrifice of the ancestral hall, and mortals would give three points when they saw it.
Li Shaohua: "Chenzi, there don't seem to be any fish in this pond, do you want to put the ones on the front foot?" ”
A morning passed, the grass was almost finished, Li Mingjie and Li Shaohua cleaned up the reeds in the pond, and the water level was only 20 centimeters deep.
According to the practice of the countryside, if there were fish in the fish pond, they would have jumped to the surface of the water long ago, but the whole acre of fish pond was still quiet, like a stagnant water.
Li Chen was also a little disappointed, when his grandfather turned over the pond and netted the fish, the water level was still half a meter deep, and those fish began to jump out of the water.
Sometimes he will jump to the edge of the fish pond, Li Chen likes to stay on the edge of the fish pond the most, waiting for those big fish to jump to the edge of the fish pond, and then catch the big fish to ask his grandfather for credit.
Li Chengye, who had been guarding the fish pond, heard Li Shaohua's words, his face changed slightly, and Li Chengcheng was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but Li Chengye waved his hand to stop him.
People go to tea and cool, no one has taken care of it for a few years, and there are no fish in this acre of old ponds?
Li Mingjie: "When I was cutting reeds before, I felt that there were fish in the water, and they were not small, so why don't you try to get out of the net?" ”
Li Mingjie opened his mouth to break the atmosphere, Li Chengye smiled again, and Li Chengcheng also nodded, but the second aunt and a few women were obviously not very happy.
It's almost noon, and it is impossible for Li Chen to cook alone, and if there is no fish at noon, everyone can only go home to eat.
Li Mingjie's three brothers dragged the fishing net into the water, Li Shaohua followed with a fish pocket, Li Chen also put on water pants and went down together, and the second uncle and everyone stood on the fish pond to watch.
Li Linjie: "Slow down, there are a few big guys on my side." ”
Li Yingjie: "I've met it a few times, it seems to be that guy, I didn't expect Laotang to have this guy." ”
Li Shaohua: "Mingjie, you drag deeper, drag towards the reeds, if it's really that guy, everyone will have a good mouth today." ”
Only Li Chen dragged the fish pocket to follow, I don't know what everyone will say?
The fishing net couldn't be dragged until it was dragged to the reeds, so Li Shaohua asked the second uncle to hand a flat pole down and ran into the reeds to keep tinkering.
The already turbid water turned into a paste, and a big grass carp jumped out of the water, Li Shaohua quickly pounced and touched the water for a while before catching it.
Li Chengcheng: "The good guy turned out to be a black grass carp, estimated to weigh more than ten catties, no wonder there are no fish in the fish pond." ”
Uncle Nine lifted the grass carp that Li Shaohua threw ashore, and everyone was even more speechless when they saw this guy, a black grass carp can eat a ton of fish fry a year, there are carnivorous black grass carp in the fish pond, and there are definitely not many other fish.
Li Mingjie: "Finally caught you!" ”
Li Mingjie also joined the capture team and picked up a big fish in the reeds, and everyone was even more surprised to see this fish, there was such a big snakehead fish in the fish pond.
The snakehead fish, also known as the black fish, is also a carnivorous fish, and then Li Chen was not to be left behind, and caught a black fish again, Li Chen's tense face finally relaxed.
In Dingyuan County, there is a saying that there are ten black fish, which means that a black fish, ten ordinary fish on the top, whether it is price or nutrition, black fish are several times more expensive than ordinary fish.
Li Yingjie: ", didn't you say that this guy is extinct?" ”
Li Yingjie's face was covered with mud, holding a big golden rainbow-colored fish in his arms, Li Chengye almost jumped off the fish pond when he saw the fish in Li Yingjie's arms.
Li Chengcheng: "Hurry up and bring the fish over and keep it in other fish ponds, this rainbow trout can't let it die!" ”
Second aunt: "Who said that there is no fish field in the fish pond, the fish that come up here are all good things, as long as you can catch a hundred or dozens of them, these silver carp and crucian carp are much better." ”
Several women also showed smiling faces, and only then did they get under the first net, and so many good guys appeared, and they were not afraid that there would be no fish to eat at noon.
