Before you know it, the autumn harvest is over, and the first heavy snow of the year finally arrives that night. Before it was dark, it was gray outside, Li Mu raised the fire, and went to fetch water and chop wood. After coming back, he had a simple dinner with Wan Niang, and then he went to sea.

He had to prepare more for the family before the winter.

This time I went to sea and called Erxi and Tian Zhuang to help, one of these two goods came to eat every day, and the other came to eat every day, how could he just eat and not work?

Now that the autumn harvest is over, they are fine.

The fishing boat soon drove over Phoenix Island, Li Mu did not stop the boat, and continued to direct the two to sail to the open sea. It took about half an hour for the two of them to slow down the boat.

Along the way, Li Mu has been paying attention to the situation on the bottom of the sea, and now there are many fish here and active. He told the two of them to go to the net, and he took off his clothes and was about to go into the sea, "I will go into the water to drive away the fish, and when I come up you will collect the net." ”

Erxi hurriedly grabbed him: "You're crazy! Do you know how cold the sea is now?

Tian Zhuang went down the net on the other side of the deck, not noticing the situation here.

Li Mu comforted Erxi: "Have you forgotten how that blue marlin was caught? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Erxi to object, he plunged headlong into the sea. The sea was bitterly cold, and the Great Lo Nei Jing sped up, and soon maintained a kind of equilibrium. On the fishing boat, Erxi looked at the sea nervously, and secretly said Why didn't this guy come up after he went down?

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, but Tian Zhuang stared at the fishing net excitedly, praying for more catches. Seeing his excited expression, Erxi didn't dare to tell him that Li Mu had gone to the sea, although it was not yet winter, but he went to the sea to dive in such snowflake weather...... Erxi swallowed his saliva, feeling cold just thinking about it.

Li Mu's Da Luo Neijing had just cultivated to the second layer, his internal strength was limited, and he couldn't be underwater for a long time, so he hurried to drive away the fish when he went to the sea, except for one or two kilograms of small fish, he didn't let go, and all of them were rushed into the net pocket. After about a quarter of an hour, he sprang out of the sea and climbed up the rope that Erxi had lowered.

"Collect the net!" Li Mu shuddered fiercely, shouted, and hurriedly ran back to the cabin to get dressed.

Tian Zhuang frowned: "Can you catch fish in such a short time?"

Erxi lied: "I have been to this sea area many times with Amu, and the fish here are very dense, as long as you put the net down, you can catch it." ”

Tian Zhuang didn't believe it, but Erxi was a well-known fisherman after all. When the fishing net was raised, Tian Zhuang's mouth opened wide, and a pair of eyes stared at the fishing net. Erxi is not much better, although he is prepared, he can't help but be shocked when he sees it.

Usually the largest fish they catch is only a dozen kilograms, but now not to mention the largest in this net, almost all of them have seventy or eighty kilograms. The largest even has one or two hundred kilograms.

It's like a person who grows melons all year round and suddenly sees that the melons in other people's fields are the size of watermelons......

The shock cannot be described in words.

Li Mu got dressed and came out of the cabin, pulling the two men with their jaws back to reality: "Hey, it's work!"

The fishing nets were pulled up to the deck, and there were no more than one or two hundred large and small fish in it, the smallest one was three or four kilograms, the largest one or two meters long, and weighed one or two hundred kilograms. It's all big guys!

On deck, Erxi took the lead and began to sort the catch from the nets before storing it in the fish tank, which was a long process. Of course, according to normal fishing, there are not many fish coming out of the net, so there is no need to classify them at all, just throw them directly into the fish tank.

Erxi Hetian was sweating profusely, but he was full of energy. In the words of Erxi: This is called fishing! This is called fishing!

The catch caught in a quarter of an hour under the net was stunned and sorted for more than an hour, and some of the fish were too big, and it took three people to work together to hold the fish cabin.

As soon as the second net was thrown down, Erxi and Tian Zhuang returned to the cabin to keep warm, and they sweated a lot when they worked, which would make the sea breeze on the deck suddenly feel cold.

At the beginning of this network, Li Mu didn't plan to cheat, let it be, and count as much as he could, otherwise it would be a bit shocking. In the cabin, Tian Zhuang lit the stove, Li Mu put the pot on the shelf, and when the water boiled, Erxi also packed up a flounder, cut it into sections and threw it into the pot to cook, and did not put seasonings, and drank the fish soup to drink the freshness.

Tian Zhuang grinned and said, "Brother Amu, you are really capable. ”

Li Mudao: "What are you capable of?"

Tian Zhuang sniffed the fish soup, looked envious, and said: "Think about what the people in the village said when you sold your land to Brother Xizi? Now look at it, it's all autumn harvest, every family has grain, who can eat meat every day?"

Erxi nodded and continued: "The imperial court has lowered the tax to such a low level, and no one can live like your family." It's enviable. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Everyone's living conditions will get better and better." ”

The time of the second net will be a long time, Li Mu took a heavy fishing crossbow and prepared to shoot fish, Erxi looked fresh and wanted to try it, Li Mu happily agreed. Tell him some tips for shooting fish, and leave him alone on the deck and go back to sleep in the cabin by himself. Tian Zhuang put away the sails and went back to the cabin to sleep, and before he knew it, it was the second half of the night. The two woke up and drank a sip of fish soup to warm up their bodies and were about to go to collect the net, but they found that Erxi was still shooting fish, with an excited expression.

"You haven't slept all night?" Tian Zhuang tightened the padded jacket on his body, and looked at Erxi who was open and breasts with disgust.

Li Mu's eyes lit up when he saw Erxi's harvest: "These are all from you?"

The basket is very large, almost one meter and a half square, and one meter deep, which is specially used for going to sea. Now the two baskets lay quietly full of fish, which seemed to weigh a tonn.

This guy is really a professional fisherman!' Li Mu secretly commented in his heart.

Erxi shot up a salmon again, and then he reluctantly returned the fishing crossbow to Li Mu, and he was addicted. He said to Tian Zhuang again: "How can you, landlubber, understand the happiness of our water rats?"

Li Mu listened to the forehead, and hurriedly asked the two to close the net.

The second net is not comparable to the first net, there are only two or three big fish, and there are many small fish.

Li Mu picked out all the small fish separately and put them in the fish basket, which he planned to keep for himself in the winter. It's okay to get a fried fish and fry some fish sauce......

This net is thrown directly into the fish silo without sorting. Erxi looked up at the sky and said that it was almost dawn, and if he didn't return now, he wouldn't be able to catch up with the morning market in the county, and of course Li Mu would not object.

As the fishing boat approached the pier, a group of fishmongers approached and exclaimed their catch.

Soon, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the whole county was a sensation. The shopkeepers of the major restaurants and the stall owners of the seafood market flocked to the wharf in an endless stream, Li Mu and they originally planned to drag the catch to the market to get rid of it, who knew that this would be inseparable from the wharf at all, they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

"It's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Tian Zhuang's eyes widened.

Erxi didn't care, and directly let the person who bought the fish get on the boat and weigh it. Here they are busy tossing and catching fish, and the sky is also dawning over there.

Shopkeeper Liu of Dingxiang Building found Li Mu to express his gratitude. Li Mu left him rare large marine fish, and the dishes he made could not be compared with ordinary catches, the key was that they were alive and could be preserved for a long time.

Shopkeeper Liu handed the money bag to Li Mu and said, "This is seventy-two taels of fish catch." And this ......" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Mu: "Our host heard that you went to Fang Market and made an IOU, so I asked me to redeem this IOU, which is considered a reward." If there are any good catches in the future, don't forget your uncle's Dingxiang Building?"

Li Mu accepted it unceremoniously, it was not that he was greedy for money, money was not so important to him, and the reason why he accepted it was because he felt that it was a kind of communication.

Exchanges of courtesy.

It was dawn, and the catch was almost sold, Erxi didn't know where to get out, and handed Li Mu several money bags, all of which were the money from the sale of the catch just now. After checking it, there can probably be more than a hundred taels.

Erxi whispered to Li Mu: "The fishing boat berthing fee of 800 wen is the official price, and the fishing tax should be 12 taels normally, and I gave the tax collector 9 taels, as for how he declares the tax, we don't care." ”

Li Mu sighed secretly: There is ** everywhere!

Before the end of the morning market, Li Mu bought a lot of rice noodles and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and there were many mouths for eating at home, so there would definitely be no left to prepare more. There is also wine, this time he found the largest liquor store in the county, a large wine tank more than one meter high and bought two cylinders, both of which are good wine. Two fat pigs, three sheep, it took a lot of effort for these five animals to catch up with the fishing boat.

Erxi and Tian Zhuang were already numb after him, and every time he bought something, Tian Zhuang muttered behind him: "This is a two-acre harvest, this is a five-acre harvest, oh my God, this is a ten-acre harvest......"

Tian Zhuang felt that his heart was bleeding, and after a while, Li Mu spent a year's grain income of the entire village!

Erxi put his hands behind his back and looked up at the blue sky at a forty-five degree angle: he is also fishing, why is the gap so big!

At this moment, both of them were broken in their hearts.

Back in the village, Erxi first went home and rushed to the donkey cart, and then transported the things he bought back to the village. As soon as the three of them entered the village, they caused quite a stir, even more than the first time they bought pigs and came back.

The old and young masters, women and daughters-in-law all ran out to see the excitement, and those half-grown wild boys even circled around the pigs and sheep, shouting loudly: "Divide the pork!

A wild boy and his father dragged his son home with a black face: "Break your leg with another shout!

Li Mu endured the hot gaze of the villagers and walked all the way home, he didn't plan to send pork this time, he could eat pork if he wanted to, but he had to pay labor. He was thinking about building a fishing ground, which would require a lot of labor.

"Take it back to my sister-in-law and be happy. ”

When he got home, Li Mu handed Erxi a money bag, which was the result of his all-night stay, and Erxi accepted it with a smile. Li Mu said to Tian Zhuang again: "Go back and tell Uncle Dali to come to my house to slaughter sheep at night, and let's eat a whole sheep feast." ”

This purchase cost a total of more than 60 taels of silver, and was divided into two and fifteen taels, and there were less than 100 taels left. Li Mu handed over the silver to Wan Niang, which really scared Wan Niang. She's never seen so much money when she's grown up.

She was thinking about whether she should hide her money in another place, there was no room behind the cabinet.
