Chapter 18: Fishing

After making sure that it was honeysuckle in front of him, Liu Yiyu thought about it, and got up early tomorrow morning, first picked a basket of honeysuckle, and then went to the pharmacy in the town to try it to see if the pharmacy accepted honeysuckle.

Some modern medicinal material companies also collect some honeysuckle picked by farmers every year to this season, not to mention that in ancient times, there was no large number of medicinal materials planting base, and the storage of medicinal materials was definitely not as good as modern times.

Take advantage of the honeysuckle and some unflowered honeysuckle to pick it early, after all, the effect of honeysuckle without flowering is much better than that of flowering honeysuckle, and the price of selling it to drug stores must be higher.

After Liu Yiyu made up his mind, he walked briskly down the mountain.

Coming to the creek at the foot of the mountain, this creek was originally used by several families at the end of the village to wash clothes in the valley village, and at this time, the stream was full of people, most of whom were children.

As for the adults, when the levee is opened, I am afraid that all of them will gather at the mouth of the embankment, waiting to catch fish.

After the number of fish caught, each household in the ravine village distributed the fish according to the number of heads.

Originally, the water of this stream was very shallow, only the bare feet of adults, but after the embankment was opened, a large branch of the river flowed into this small stream, and by the way, many fish escaped from the net and flowed here, and the water of the stream instantly rose to the depth of the adult's knee.

"Oops".

"Be careful, don't fall into the creek, when the time comes, your clothes will get wet and you will catch a cold, and our family will not have the money to treat you?" Liu Yiyu saw that half of Liu Yile's body was suspended in the stream, and he wanted to catch the small fish in the stream from time to time, Liu Yiyu saw that Liu Yile was unstable and was about to fall into the stream, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Yile with a smile and said with a straight face.

"Eldest sister, I know, eldest sister, look at it, there are so many small fish? You hurry down and catch it, the little fish swim away, it's a pity, these are all things that can be sold for a small amount of money? ”。 Liu Yile stuck out his tongue at Liu Yiyu, but his eyes were attracted by the fish in the stream.

Even the young Liu Yile knew that he had no money, and he could sell these fish for money if he caught them.

Liu Yiyu exhaled a sad breath, touched Liu Yile's head and said, "You stand on the shore, don't go down, be careful of catching a cold, the eldest sister will catch fish for you to eat."

"Uh-huh, eldest sister, hurry up."

"Second sister, fifth brother, your fishing nets from there." Liu Yiyu pulled up his trouser leg and walked into Liu Yisa's front of them.

"Eldest sister, you are here, it was lent to us by Sister Dahua." Liu Yihao pointed to Wang Dahuadao in front of him.

Wang Dahua is the eldest daughter of Wang's second aunt's family, the same age as Liu Yiyu, Wang Dahua has a straightforward temperament, and she also takes care of and is close to Liu Yiyu's family.

The children of the whole ravine village have come here to take the fishing nets to this creek to catch fish, the position in front is excellent, just from under the embankment to drop the fish, no one has been fished, take advantage of the convenience, a small stream, the front is very crowded, are blocked in front of the fish.

Liu Yihao and the others also wanted to squeeze in front to catch fish, but Liu Yiyu and his family were just outsiders, except for Aunt Wang's family in Shangou Village, who took good care of Liu Yiyu, if the others were contaminated with interests, they would naturally not be polite to Liu Yiyu and their family, and they would be unanimously exclusive, and they could see it when they fished from the creek.

Even Liu Da's family, who have always been arrogant and domineering, did not dare to compete with the children of Shangou Village in front of them to catch fish, after all, Liu Da's family can be regarded as sending people under the fence in Shangou Village, where can they dare to offend the local villagers of Shangu Village, in case they are provoked, they will unite and drive their family out of Shangou Village, but the gains outweigh the losses.

I just saw the third sister walking around in the water with a fishing net to catch fish, and the second sister, fourth sister, fifth brother, sixth sister, and seventh brother were fishing in the muddy water with their bare hands.

"I've got a fish." Liu Yiyu sighed and said.

"Eldest sister, you see I caught one." At this time, Liu Yimeng held a small fish the size of an adult's finger in his hand, and said excitedly to Liu Yiyu.

Then, Liu Yimeng carefully placed it in the wooden barrel held by Liu Yisa.

Liu Yiyu raised his eyes and looked into the wooden barrel, only to see some clear water in the barrel, two or three fish the size of an adult's finger, and some dried shrimp and smaller fish.

"The second sister, the third sister, and the fifth brother, it's not a way to catch fish like this, the eldest sister has a way, and the fish she catches are more time-saving and labor-saving than this."

"Eldest sister, what is the method, you say come and hear it." After Liu Yishuang heard his eldest sister say that there was a way to catch a lot of fish, he couldn't care about the fishing net in his hand to catch fish, so he walked into Liu Yiyu and asked.

"Let's block the stream with stones, only leave an opening in the middle to let the stream flow down, and then we put the net under the stream where we have left a mouth, and the fish will swim down the water by instinct, and we will wait for work, even if it is not good, we can also walk in the water by beating the grass and startling the snake, alarm the fish in the water, and drive the fish to the bottom of the stream where we have left a mouth."

"Eldest sister, this method is good." After Liu Yihao heard Liu Yiyu's words, his eyes lit up.

"Eldest sister, shall we hurry up and move stones to block the water?" The second sister and the third sister also had bright eyes.

"It's not possible here, they saw it, they did it according to our method in front, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch fish today, let's go down to fish, so they can't see our way." Liu Yiyu pointed his finger at the children who occupied the village in Qiantou Shangou and said.

"That's right." Subsequently, Liu Yiyu and a few people walked under the stream, turned a corner, and saw that the people in front of them could not see Liu Yiyu and them, Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers quickly carried the stones, and according to Liu Yiyu's method, the entire stream was blocked, leaving only one breath in the middle.

The stream flowed down rapidly from the middle opening.

"Eldest sister, this method really works, just a short period of effort, I can catch four or five big fish." After Liu Yishuang blocked this hole for a few minutes, he lifted the fishing net and saw that there were four or five fish the size of an adult's finger, as well as a dozen or twenty small fish and small shrimps, Liu Yishuang and Liu Yisa quickly fished out the fish in the fishing net, and put the fast fishing net under the stream with a mouth, for fear of missing the fish and escaping below.

"Fifth brother, you help your second sister and third sister to block them with fishing nets." Liu Yiyu saw that Liu Yishuang and Liu Yisa were a little difficult to stop with fishing nets, and instructed Liu Yihao.

"Well, I got the big sister." Liu Yihao nodded.
