In the next week, Li Long went to Dahaizi every morning to check on the situation, but this time he did not go to the gate, but took a look at the south bank.
Every day the water line recedes. Slowly, except for a few large troughs, there is no water on the south bank. There are still fish heads shaking in some shallow puddles.
The newly exposed ground was still slippery, so Li Long didn't care about the fish, only watching the water conditions.
In the afternoon he gave the bicycle to Li Junfeng and the others to practice. At first, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan practiced together, and later Li Anguo and Chen Xingbang also started practicing together. Bicycles at this time were no less advanced than motorcycles more than ten years later and cars more than twenty years later.
They were practicing cycling, and Li Long took the time to go to the county and bought a few more netting bags. He put the handles on them at home and reinforced them for easier use later.
When all four of them learned to ride bicycles, Li Long took them to Li Jianguo's house that afternoon.
Li Jianguo has nothing to do here, mainly feeding pigs. Seeing Li Long coming with people, he greeted them into the house.
"Brother, I came here today to discuss a major matter." Li Long said, "After this matter is settled, it will be no problem to earn a bicycle for each of the second brother and the others."
"What? ?" Li Anguo was stunned for a moment, and then several people were surprised!
In the past ten days, each person earned thirty or forty yuan, which was already a huge amount of money for them.
Now Li Long said that the next wave can earn a person a bicycle, how could that not be a surprise?
"What are you doing?" Li Jianguo calmed down a lot. In his opinion, the younger brother is now very capable, so it would not be surprising if he has any opportunity to make money.
"That's it. These days, I go to Dahaizi every morning to see the water." Li Long explained the reason first, "The water in Dahaizi has been falling these days, and water has been released at the gate of Mohe Canal. There has been no water in. It is estimated that the water will be almost dry tomorrow. There are still some in a few tanks at most. Water..."
"The fish in there..." Li Jianguo reacted first, "Isn't that just picking up fish?"
"Yes, it is picking up fish." Li Long laughed. "When I went there this morning, the fish had already come out of several puddles."
"Then let's go now!" Li Junfeng couldn't sit still when he heard that all the water in the sea was dry, "Uncle Xiaolong, you kept it secret. If you had told us earlier, we would have gone there two days earlier... There are so many fish here." ?”
“There are too many,” Li Jianguo pointed at Li Long and said, “A few days ago, when you guys weren’t here, your uncle Xiaolong set out a sticky net to catch fish. He could catch one any day. More than 100 kilograms came back..."
"So much?" Even Li Junshan, who has always been steady, was amazed this time, "How can I eat them all?"
"How much can I eat at home? They are all sold." Li Long explained, "This time, let's make a big one and try to get the fish back as much as possible..."
He told his plan. After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Xingbang and Li Anguo They all looked at him blankly.
Chen Xingbang also admired him in his heart. I originally thought that my brother-in-law was just lucky and took advantage of the opportunity. Now look at other people’s ideas and patterns, I’m far behind!
"Then let's go now? What are we waiting for tomorrow? Let's go and have a look? It shouldn't be far, right?" Li Junfeng was already extremely anxious, "Is it ten miles away?"
" No, how can it be ten miles? Two kilometers, four miles." Li Jianguo thought for a while and said.
"Go, go, go, the sun hasn't set yet, go and have a look and see what's going on!"
Li Long looked at Li Jianguo.
"Then let's go and have a look." Li Jianguo was also curious, "I'll hitch the carriage."
"Then you go, I won't go, I still have to talk to Daqiang and Yongqiang , more people need to join in this matter."
"Okay, then you go about your business, I will take your second brother and the others over to take a look." Li Jianguo was also very excited at this time, Yu Jian said. Quite a few, but I have never seen anyone like Dahaizi drain the water and see the fish.
Why don’t you take a good look?
When Li Long saw Li Jianguo harnessing the carriage, he specially put up the surrounding carriage boards, and said with a smile:
"Brother, you'd better bring more urea bags, otherwise you won't be able to fit them in."
"That's right." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Do I also need to bring the net?"
>"It's best to bring it with you."
The group of people went north in a carriage, and Li Long went to find Tao Daqiang.
In Tao's yard, Tao Daqiang was wiping his bicycle. There was no dust left on the 28-year-old bicycle. Don't forget to oil the chain after wiping it.
Li Long looked ashamed. His 28-year-old car was really used as a car. Look at this person, he is using the car as a gift to his uncle.
"Brother Long is here." Tao Daqiang put down the oil pot and said with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Have you eaten, are you?"
"I've eaten too."
Tao Jianshe was smoking in the room. When he heard the sound outside, he hesitated and didn't come out.
"We will start working tomorrow." Li Long said, "This time is different from before. Let me explain it to you in detail now."
"Brother Long, tell me." Tao Daqiang immediately heard that business was coming. Just get serious.
"The water in Dahaizi is drying up soon." Li Long's first sentence was no less than a bombshell for Tao Daqiang, "You should know that there are many fish in it."
"I know, I know, so how can I not know."< br>
"Early tomorrow morning, you lead the donkey cart over there. It's best to go with Uncle Tao. By the way, there is also Yongqiang. You can also tell him. You can also catch fish with your things, but I mean, you collect the fish.”
"Collect the fish?" Tao Daqiang was a little confused.
“Yes, collect the fish.” Li Long said with certainty, “Those villages on the north coast of Dahaizi must know the situation earlier than we do. Tomorrow I estimate there will be more people there than here, so, There will definitely be a lot of people there tomorrow in Haizi.
As for you, just lead the donkey cart there to collect the fish. You can collect the fish they catch on the cart for 10 cents per kilogram. Pick up the big ones. , a good fish harvest, of course, you have to be able to compare. One cent is lower, and five cents is better.”
“Why are they willing to sell it for one cent?” Tao Daqiang immediately shook his head, “No matter how cheap it is on the market, it’s only fifty cents.”
< br>"Don't worry "As long as you give cash, they will definitely sell it to you." Li Long said with a smile, "If there are too many fish, how can the fish in the market be even 50 cents?" "Then you will lose money if you take it." Well! ”
"I won't sell it now." Li Long shook his head and said, "I'll put it away. This winter is so long, I will sell it when there are no more fish later.
No matter how much you pay You can sell it to me for 15 cents, or you can keep it at home and take your car to the county to sell it around New Year's Day. , this is a way to make money, once it is done, it will be no problem to get another bicycle this time."
After speaking, Li Long stood up and said to Tao Daqiang:
"Da Qiang, please bring more bags tomorrow, the donkey cart alone can't hold many fish, that's all."
Li Long left, leaving Tao Daqiang a little confused in the yard.
A few minutes later, Tao Jianshe came out and saw that Tao Daqiang was still sitting on the small bench in front of the bicycle. He took the cigarette pot and asked:
"What do you think?"< br>
"What?" Tao Daqiang raised his head and looked at his father and asked, "What do you think?"
"Collect it yourself, or collect it and sell it to Xiaolong?"
"Then of course we'll take it and sell it to Brother Long." Tao Daqiang said naturally, "We'll take it and sell it ourselves later. That can make a lot of money. I've done the math, and I might earn several hundred in the future. No two. Further back? ”
Tao Jianshe nodded, then shook his head:
“It’s true that stupid people have stupid blessings... Xiaolong didn’t say what he said to you, he said it to me.”
“Here. What do you mean?" Tao Daqiang was a little confused.
"He knows that you must be following him and selling the fish to him. What he meant by that is to tell me that if you want to make money, either of these methods will work, I guess. Let me tell your brother, take this opportunity to make some money. His family...well, it will definitely be more difficult than yours."
With that said, Tao Jianshe went out.
"Brother Long, is this what you mean? No way? Why can't I hear it?" Tao Daqiang felt that Li Long didn't mean this. He felt that Li Long just stated the two possibilities frankly and put them on the bright side.
When Tao Jianshe came back, Tao Daqiang went to find Yang Yongqiang. This matter had to be explained clearly to Yang Yongqiang.
Yang Yongqiang also understood very well and said immediately:
"I will also collect the fish. I will put them in your car and sell them to Brother Long together."
The matter was settled like that.
Li Long returned to the horse number and continued reading.
This "Dang Kou Zhi" really challenges the human brain. It is a bit annoying to read, it is completely the opposite. Halfway through reading, Li Long stuffed the book under his pillow and took out another one to read. This book "The Heroine of the Ancient City" is quite attractive.
Li Long remembered reading it before, but he didn't finish it. He just thought the little devil in it was too cruel. Looking back now, I still feel the same way.
It was getting dark, and he looked outside. It was still early, but Li Anguo and the others hadn't come back yet, something was wrong.
After reading a few pages, Li Long felt a little worried. He put down the book and went out. He walked around the yard twice and felt a heavy chill.
The ice in the remaining puddles in Dahaizi tomorrow should be very thick, right?
I wonder if it will go well?
Then the sound of a carriage was heard.
“It’s here, it’s freezing to death!”
"It's worth the cold!" This was Li Junfeng's excited voice, "Who would have thought that those fishes would really be picked up! How have you ever seen a bag of fish picked up from a puddle of water? There weren't so many fish before when the river was dry. ?”
“Today "I caught it!" Chen Xingbang said with rare excitement, "I have to make a meal tonight. This fish looks fat - how fresh it is!"
"That's right, wait a minute." Let Uncle Luo do it..." Li Anguo said with a smile.
"I'll help." Li Junshan added, "Make two more."
The carriage drove into the yard, and Li Long looked at the five people who were shivering with cold but happy. , asked:
"How's it going?"
"Hey! There are so many fish... I can't pick them all up!" Li Jianguo was happy.
"Come in and warm yourself up, I will take care of the fish." Li Long took the reins of the horse, "You guys go and warm yourself up."
"You have to grill it, it feels cold. Come on, why didn't you feel it when you picked up the fish? "
"There is fire in the fish," several people said as they entered the house.
Li Long picked out two large crucian carp, one carp and one five-striped black carp and handed them to Li Junshan. He then led the carriage inside to the warehouse at the end and began to unload the bags.
The innermost house is also covered with wooden boards. At this time, there is nothing on it, so I just put the fish on it. There is no stove in this house, so the fish can be frozen overnight.
Li Long watched as he moved, and it could be seen that the eldest brother and the others specially selected big fish to catch. There was a bag of crucian carp, and the smallest crucian carp was no bigger than my palm.
Luxury! (End of this chapter)
