Chapter 130 Li Qianqian’s request for help
Although it was already late March, the fields were already vaguely green, and the ice had melted, the water in Xiaohaizi still felt cold to the touch. This time is different from winter. In winter, it is cold outside. Although the temperature in the water is low, it feels hotter than outside.
At this time, the temperature outside has risen. Li Long has taken off his cotton clothes and put on fleece clothes. With the sun shining on him, he doesn’t feel cold at all, but it’s different when he gets in the water. , the water was still at four or five degrees above zero, and it felt bitingly cold.
"Brother Long, where do you get off the net?" Tao Daqiang has never been off the net before, so he doesn't know what technology is involved.
“Let me explore how deep it is down there first. We didn’t bring tires or wear waders, so we had to take off our trousers and launch the net in the water.” Li Long said, “Now we can only launch the net in the water. Not far from the shore, I remember there seemed to be a trough there, which was pushed out by bulldozers during the dry season. There was a shoal on the edge of the trough, about one meter deep.”
Li Long only had a vague impression now. He pointed to the location and said:
"Go along that place and let's explore inside. If there is a shoal, just walk along the shoal and lower the net to In the trough on the beach, the water flow there is different, and there must be fish below."
The two found a good position, took off their pants, and got into the water wearing shoes and shorts.
Li Long was trembling as soon as he got into the water. The water was not ordinary cold!
If you want to make money, you will have to suffer, and he has long been mentally prepared for this. But Li Long was stimulated by the ice water, and secretly decided in his heart that after selling the fish this time, he would immediately go find the big tire, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it!
Tao Daqiang had long legs. He reached in front of Li Long in two steps and waded through the water. Li Long hurriedly reminded:
"Slow down, don't get into the trough. It will be hard to get out if you don't hold up!"
At this time Xiao Haizi The deepest water is more than three meters. Unlike in later generations, when Li Long had high blood pressure, the deepest water was only 1.5 meters. At that time, people would not dare to choose the one with long seedlings when they set the net. Usually, 90 centimeters or 1.2 meters would be enough. The net for the 1.5 meter seedlings has to be mopped.
"Okay." Tao Daqiang responded and slowed down a bit. Li Long knew that he wanted to work more, so he didn't say more.
The two people walked forward for more than thirty meters, and sure enough, the deepest water was only up to their waists. But it is obvious that the water is very deep on both sides, and the shoal is only as wide as the two sides.
Li Long stopped halfway, broke off a three-meter-long reed and explored the edge. He found that the edge was at least two meters deep. He said to Tao Daqiang:
"Daqiang, come here." Take the bag and I’ll take the net out.”
Tao Daqiang walked back quickly and took the bag from Li Long’s hand. Li Long untied the four-finger net he took out, tied the cloth strips to the reeds on the side, and then pressed it into the water. It was invisible on the surface. The next step was to lower the net along the trough.
Tao Daqiang studied it carefully and found that it was actually quite simple.
After Li Long finished lowering the net, he asked Tao Daqiang to take out another one. After untying the two nets, he tied them together and continued forward, lowering all the four nets he brought in. They were already deep. Arrive at the center of Xiaohaizi.
"Go back quickly." Li Long felt a little shivering from the cold. He must get a tire after fetching and selling fish tomorrow!
He made his decision again.
The two returned to the shore, simply wiped themselves, put on their pants quickly, and walked home quickly.
Back home, Li Long changed his shoes, quickly boiled water and soaked his feet. Although he is young and resistant to freezing, his body still needs to deal with the cold at this time.
I lived to be over 60 years old in my last life, and in the next ten years I paid more attention to health care. Of course, because the diseases I developed before were not very good, I didn’t take good care of myself.
If you have to deal with bad weather in this life, you still need to be careful.
When the sun was about to set, Mingwa from Xu Chengjun’s family ran to Li’s house, where Li Long was making soup. I eat real rice at noon, and usually steamed buns, leftovers, and soup in the evening.
“Qiangqiang his uncle,” Mingwa said breathlessly: “The county supply and marketing cooperative called to find you - my dad said that it was the last time he asked you to help hunt yellow sheep. "
Li Xiangqian? What is he looking for?
Li Long said to Mingwa:
"You go back first, I'll be there soon." After Mingwa left, Li Long put away the fire in the stove, cleaned the mouth of the stove, leaving the red ash inside to heat the soup in the pot, and then put the stove on the edge of the stove. He held the firewood aside, then locked the door and walked to Xu Chengjun's house.
"That Chief Li said he would call you later." Ma Hongmei was collecting rapeseed in the yard when she saw Li Long coming over and said, "He said he has something important to find. You help."
Li Long is a little strange, what will happen?
Five minutes later, the phone rang again, and this time it was Li Long who picked up the phone.
"Hello!" Although the voice over there was slightly distorted, Li Long could still recognize that it was Li Xiangqian's voice.
“Hello, Chief Li, I’m Li Long.”
“Li Long, I’m going to trouble you again.”
“Chief Li, if you need help, Said. "
"Can you get that kind of goat head with horns? Director Qian wants it very urgently - if you know where it is, we can buy it now."
< br>
"You're talking about the kind from the mountains with long horns?" Is it such a coincidence that Li Longxin said it?
"Yes. The ram's horn is one section at a time. Director Qian said that it needs to be at least fifteen sections, otherwise it won't be impressive. Just tell me, as long as you can get it, you can make any conditions. "
"Chief Li, I have one at home. I don't know if it works."
"Is it real?"
"Really." Li Long said with a smile.
"How many knots?" Li Qianqian's breathing became rapid. This time, Director Qian was in a hurry. He made many calls, but to no avail. Even if he answered, it would take a week, so he thought of Li Long.
"Eighteen sections?" Li Long thought for a moment and said, "Or nineteen sections? I forgot."
"Is the skull complete?" Li Long's voice trembled. He couldn't believe that this was such a coincidence and that he was so lucky?
"Relatively complete, basically nothing is missing - it seems like this."
"Then..."
"I'll go to the county tomorrow and bring it to you then?" Li Long understood what Li Xiangqian meant.
“Okay, okay, great!” Li Xiangqian felt that his mood was ups and downs like riding a roller coaster.
If Li Long hadn't been in the village now, he would have wanted to go directly to Li Long's house and see the sheep skull first!
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian remembered that Li Long didn't seem to say what kind of reward he wanted.
This guy can’t open his mouth like a lion, can he?
Think about what happened last time, it's possible!
But even if I open my mouth, I admit it!
The next day, Li Long and Tao Daqiang arrived at Xiaohaizi together.
On this trip, even Li Long was a little uneasy - it was the first time in his life to catch fish, and he didn’t know what the result would be?
