Chapter 52: Eel Cage

The morning light was slightly dewed, and Lu Yangge was still asleep.

Lu Xiaoli crawled over from Lu Xiaoyu's body, soaked in a cold and damp handkerchief and wiped it on Lu Yangge's face: "Still sleeping, Dad is waiting for you to go to the eel cage." ”

Xiao Si likes to sleep lazy, and it is difficult to wake him up.

Even if she woke up, she would try all kinds of ways to stay in bed.

No, Lu Xiaoli thought of a way, wiped her face with a wet handkerchief in the morning, and no matter how sleepy she was, she was stimulated by this cold handkerchief, and it was estimated that it was gone.

"Second Sister ......"

Lu Yangge pushed Lu Xiaoli away and sat up angrily.

I can't live this day.

Wake up earlier than the chickens and go to bed early!

I want to ......

Forget it, I don't want to, where is the beginning, now is the era of eating the last meal and worrying about the next meal!

"Hurry up, Daddy is waiting." Lu Xiaoli retracted the veil and turned his head to see Xiao Si sitting cross-legged, looking sluggish.

How can there be such a lazy person who doesn't think about it every morning and doesn't want to sleep at night.

Lu Yangge couldn't understand why people were so poor now that they had to get up early.

Don't talk about getting up early to fish and cook to coax children, and children as old as him are not allowed to sleep at home.

Even if you get up and play with the mud on the riverbank, no one cares about you.

But if you don't sleep, you just can't.

The evening is even more outrageous, I have an early dinner and have to go to bed.

If you can't sleep, you won't be allowed to light the lamp because it costs oil!

"Little Four, are you up?"

Qiu Shi lifted the curtain in the middle of the front and rear cabins and probed in: "Hurry up, your father is waiting for you to go to the eel cage." ”

"My dad?"

Lu Yangge finally came to his senses: "Isn't Dad going to the dock?" ”

"Your dad said ......"

Qiu Shi took two steps closer and lowered his voice: "Your father said, let's go with you to see if you can really go down to Changyu." When the eel cage is finished, he will go to the dock when he has time. If you can really get down to the long fish, your father won't go to the dock, and is going to make a few more eel cages and a few more places. ”

If you can get a long fish, you can make more money than going to the dock to carry a bag.

The disadvantage of living on a boat is that there is no privacy, as long as you move a little louder, the two boats next door can really hear you.

Because the cabin is occupied by the three girls of the family, plus Lu Yangge, a tomboy, although there is no privacy at all, Lu Quan will never come in casually with the curtain lifted.

This made Lu Yangge feel very comfortable.

The people on the ship live a miserable life, and there is little avoidance.

Two or three generations of a family live in one cabin, and those with a small population are fine, and those with a large population have to sleep one by one.

The disadvantage of living together is that there is no sense of boundaries for everyone.

When the weather is hot, children under the age of seven or eight, regardless of gender, bare-chested and swimming, abound.

If the conditions are better, girls can still wear small clothes and pants, and if the conditions are poor, they really can't care about this.

And boys, almost uniformly, don't need to wear clothes in the summer, and they are tanned and shiny.

When Lu Yangge got dressed and combed his hair, Lu Quan was already waiting at the bow of the boat with a wooden barrel.

"Dad, wait a minute, I'll brush my teeth."

Lu Yangge pinched the ground green salt and squatted on the side of the boat to brush his teeth. Lu Xiaoli glanced at Lu Yangge, who was brushing his teeth, and then at his father, who was waiting with a bucket, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

Just spoil it, it's good to spoil a loser.

Only Lu Yangge in the Lu family has a toothbrush, because she is not used to using willow branches, Lu Quan specially went to the town to buy her a toothbrush. It took fifteen articles to make Lu Xiaoli feel distressed for several days, and he didn't want to talk to Lu Xiaosi.

After Lu Yangge brushed her teeth and washed her face, Lu Xiaoqing gave her two vegetable dumplings.

This vegetable dumpling is not big, and the mouth is large.

It was made with purslane blanched yesterday and brown rice and wild beans, and everyone was one person, only Lu Yangge and Lu Quan were two.

Lu Yangge took a bite of the wild vegetable dumplings and stuffed the other one to Lu Quan: "Dad, I can't eat it." ”

She really can't eat it, it's not that she's not hungry, the main thing is that the function of this wild vegetable dumpling is to fill her stomach, and the taste is simply indescribable.

Lu Quan knew that Xiao Si was small, and he was already very embarrassed by him by following them to eat coarse grains on weekdays.

However, the family is too poor, even if he wants to do something good for the child alone, he is really powerless.

The family will also buy some fine grains for the fourth child every once in a while.

It's just that this child is too real, if he wants to eat, everyone eats together, and he resolutely refuses to eat Xiaozao alone.

Lu Quan pinched the wild vegetable dumplings in his hand, and the roots of his ears were slightly red: "If you catch a long fish and sell it for money, your father will buy you baked cakes to eat." ”

This is probably the most unconfident thing Lu Quanyou has ever said in his life.

Lu Yangge nodded while choking on the rice ball in his mouth: "Okay." ”

"Dad, here."

From the moment Lu Quan took out the first eel cage under the command of Lu Yangge, Lu Quan's hands kept shaking, shaking, so shaking that he had to rub twice on the water weeds before he could barely suppress the joy in his heart.

In the first horn cage, four long fish were poured out, the thinnest of which was thicker than his thumb.

Looking at the long fish in the barrel, Lu Quan swallowed a mouthful of spit again.

His throat was thirsty as if it were about to smoke, but he was not thirsty at all.

No wonder when he came in the morning, Xiao Si asked him to carry one more bucket, if he collected it like this, one barrel would definitely not be enough.

Thinking that he was carrying two buckets full of long fish back, Lu Quan was a little dizzy.

Is this long fish so easy to catch?

Just use this bamboo cage and put it in the ditch at night and collect it in the morning?

"It's not that easy."

Lu Yangge's voice sounded, and Lu Quancai realized that he unconsciously said what he wanted to ask in his heart.

"This eel cage is actually particular when it is released, it is spring, the climate is pleasant, and the water temperature is also suitable, so just put the eel cage in the place where the aquatic plants germinate. In summer, the temperature is high and the weather is hot, so it should be placed in a cool place with food to eat. In autumn, when the water level drops, the long fish also spend the winter and are placed in places with abundant aquatic plants. ”

"Long fish don't like running water, and they rarely appear where the current is too strong, and they can't be placed in a place where there are waves. To avoid the wind, put the south slope when the south wind blows, and put the north slope when the north wind blows. In deep ponds, eel cages are placed in shallow water with aquatic weeds. If the water is shallow, place the eel cage in the deep water where the aquatic plants are abundant......"

Lu Quanwei opened his mouth and looked at Xiao Si's small mouth, which made him dizzy.

He seemed to notice only one question: "What about winter?" ”

In winter, the river freezes, and fishing boats like them are basically unable to go to the river to fish. If......

Lu Yangge's words shattered his illusions: "The long fish are hibernating in winter and won't come out." ”

However, you can also dig a long fish hole.

However, this Lu Yangge will not say it, she is afraid of the cold and hardship, and she is afraid of digging for a long time to dig out a snake.

"Oh."

Lu Quan wiped his face: "Dad didn't remember clearly, you will talk to Dad in detail when you go back." ”

He didn't expect that there would be so many ways to catch a long fish.

"Okay."

Lu Yangge nodded, and the little comb that Xiaoqing combed for her on her head shook, making it impossible to tell for a while whether she was a girl or a boy.
