Chapter Twenty-Three
The green spring is gradually moving away, and the time has entered June.
In '82, the year was very bad, and the Northeast experienced a cold spring in May, and the two most planted crops, corn and soybeans, did not grow.
Even if the hot weather begins to occur in June and July, the crop yield will be reduced, and even if the farm work is done well, this year's crops will not reach a bumper yield.
Sensing that there was little hope for a harvest, the peasant cadres of Fulong Village gradually turned their attention to those who were fishing by the river.
Although the cultural level of these village cadres is not high, they are not stupid, they quickly calculated that a person can catch dozens of catties of fish in the middle of the river, and a few nets of fish a day, that is, hundreds of catties, if they can be sold, it is more than a dime a catty of small fish, and a few cents of a catty of big fish, which is definitely a lot of income.
Fulong Village and Zhubantun are one mile apart, both belong to the management of Changqing Township, and Zhubantun is the same as Zhubantun, it is a poor village in Changqing Township, and the living standards of the villagers are slightly higher than that of Zhubantun.
When Dong Guozhong first summoned to the riverside to fly kites and fish, the villagers of Fulong Village laughed at the people on the Zhubantun side.
The crops were not planted well, and they began to fish and touch shrimp.
If the crops are not done well, fishing and touching shrimp can only be a momentary pleasure, and sooner or later there will be problems.
Why are the people on the other side of Zhubantun poor, they will only be lazy, and once they do such things as fishing and touching shrimp, the gods can't save their poverty.
After more than a month of fishing for the villagers of Zhubantun, the whole village has undergone tremendous changes, and the villagers of Zhubantun have begun to have money, and there is a faint momentum of rise in Changqing Township.
Seeing that the fishing in Zhubantun was booming, Liang Guofu, the village party secretary of Fulong Village, began to liven up in his heart.
Because Fulong Village is neighbored by Zhubantun Township, those troubled young people usually get together all day long, and they either play cards or steal chickens and dogs when they get together.
Since Zhubantun began to form a large-scale fishing, Dong Zhi, Wang Bo and those problem youths have all changed their sex, and they have not been in contact with the problem teenagers in Fulong Village, Erli, and a few people in the Red Army.
Liang Guofu was very angry about this matter, but he knew that if he asked his old rival Dong Guozhong on official business, Dong Guozhong would not tell him the trick of how to do it.
It is not feasible for public to public, Dong Guozhong will not hand over such a trick. In terms of personal relationship, he and Dong Guozhong are not on the right path.
Liang Guofu disdains to deal with an old man like Dong Guozhong, and even more despises Dong Guozhong, a guy who is at the same level as him.
Through Erli and a few young people of the Red Army, Lao Liang figured out that a collective Zhongxin company had been set up on the Zhubantun side, and the technology was out, so that the idle strong men in the village began to go to the river to help fish.
After the fish is caught, they go to Jiangcheng to sell it, and each of these farmers is paid a salary of one yuan a day, and at the end of the month, they can even give these people bonuses or some things.
Erli and the Red Army had a good relationship with Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo on weekdays, and they also saw the fishing tools used by these people in Zhubantun.
The fishing tools were a kind of hanging net and a kind of kite board that they had not seen before, and other information about the origin of the hanging net and the making of the kite board were not inquired about.
Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo are not stupid, Erli and the Red Army went to Zhubantun to clearly want to steal teachers and learn art.
Not to mention that they don't know where the nets come from and where the kite boards come from, it's that they know that they can't tell these two people about this kind of crucial thing.
If the village on Fulong's side had learned this method, their income would have been much reduced.
The apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, and neither of them could accept it, let alone want to steal the master from them without spending a penny.
After listening to the reports of Erli and the Red Army, Liang Guofu felt that it would be very simple to do this, and he made up his mind to imitate the Zhubantun side and also carry out this fishing mode.
Liang Guofu first called all the people in the village who had relatives in the city together, held a small meeting with these people, and told them that as long as there were relatives in the city, they should ask them to help inquire in the city, and where there were fishing nets that were sold in the city, the kind that was tens of meters long, and if there was a place that could make such things, they could also report to him.
As long as he can buy these fishing nets in Jiangcheng, the person who provides accurate information will be rewarded by the village.
Because of the reward, the matter of inquiring about the fishing net went very smoothly, that is, in two days, there were several useful pieces of information to Liang Guofu.
Liang Guofu, who heard a few pieces of good news, was overjoyed, wrote down the three places in Jiangcheng where fishing nets were sold, and led a few young men from the Second Force of the Red Army to set off immediately, preparing to buy some fishing nets in the city.
Before leaving, Liang Guofu told the village director Yang Qing to lead Li Carpenter and a few people to continue to study kite boards.
Liang Guofu personally led the team to look at the telescope for a long time, and saw that the kite board was really the same as what the two people of the Erli Red Army said, it was a trapezoidal board with a few pimples tied to it, which should be very simple to do.
After Liang Guofu happily led the Erli Red Army to Jiangcheng for a long lap, his mood gradually dropped to the freezing point.
The three places in Jiangcheng that sell fishing nets are mainly engaged in fishing gear, fishing lines, and by the way, they operate trap nets (the kind of nets that are cast on the boat to fish and the kind of nets that stand on the river to fish are trap nets), and there are no nets for sale.
In this era, there were very few people who fished, and there were naturally few people selling fishing gear, almost all of them had a place in the large daily grocery department stores, and the main business was only selling some fish hooks, fishing lines, and fish guards, fishing tackle bags, etc.
At that time, the price of goods was quite cheap, and two yuan could buy a hundred "Changhai" brand fishing hooks, and the fishing line was only a dozen yuan a catty. The state-run stores mainly sell fish hooks and fishing lines, and the rest of the people who love fishing are their own research and equipment, unlike the later generations, when there were all kinds of good fishing rods, at this time, the vast majority of people fish with bamboo rods, and even fishing lines are not bought, and directly use the cheapest fishing net lines as fishing lines.
According to these fishing tackle dealers, no one should get such fishing nets in Jiangcheng, in short, they have not heard of this kind of hanging nets sold in that place, and if they want to buy them, they will probably have to go to the provincial capital.
Liang Guofu returned in vain, after returning to Fulong Village, the news of the kite board made him feel annoyed, obviously seeing the shape of the kite board over there in Zhubantun, the style felt nothing bad, but as soon as the kite board entered the water, it turned over directly.
The carpenter Li in the village has made more than 30 kite boards, but none of them can go to the center of the river by themselves as described by Erli and the Red Army.
On the one hand, Li Carpenter in the village continued to study and make kite boards, and on the other hand, let the villagers who work in the city continue to inquire about the news of fishing nets.
Liang Guofu's brother-in-law Yang Hua saw that his brother-in-law was so concerned about fishing in Zhubantun, and he immediately had a crooked thought.
Yang Hua felt that what his brother-in-law was doing now was simply taking off his pants and farting, so he went directly to Zhubantun to order a set of fishing tools, and everything would come out when the time came.
