They had breakfast before dawn the next day. When Li Jianguo came over with the carriage, Li Long and the others were already ready. Li Long also went to the warehouse to take a look and found that the fish were indeed frozen. It hasn't snowed in the past two days, otherwise he would have just covered the fish with snow. If there is no snow, you can only pour cold water on the fish, which is equivalent to covering the surface with a thin layer of ice to preserve its quality and freshness.
The six people sat on the carriage and walked north, and soon they met Tao Daqiang and his son, and Yang Yongqiang and his son. Neither of them spoke much, and they formed a convoy in a tacit understanding.
Li Long is not riding a bicycle. At this time, he needs to go deep into the sea to catch fish. The bicycle can only be placed on the south bank and is easy to lose.
When Dahaizi arrived, the gastrodia was bright, and then what appeared in front of everyone was a big pit.
Li Long came here a few times before and watched the waterline go down every day, so he was mentally prepared.
Li Jianguo and the other five came here last night and met each other, so they didn't feel much.
Only Tao Daqiang and his son Yang Yongqiang looked shocked—is Dahaizi just gone?
Because the bottom of this sea is uneven, even if the water is almost dry, there are still a small amount of water in some potholes, and there are still a few troughs where water flows towards the north gate, and the rest is Just dirt.
At this moment, the mud has been frozen hard, and several people are holding bags and picking fish.
Yes, just picking up fish.
There are almost all fish in the potholes that still have water. At a glance, you can see that most of them are covered with ice, and the fish are just under the ice. Some big fish can even break through the thin ice and flop around there.
The place with the most fish is in the water tank. Because there is flowing water, what you can see in these tanks is not water flow, but "fish flow"! There are fish moving upwards with the current. When they can no longer swim, they gather together and pat their tails from time to time. Some swim downward, and when they swim to the shallow water, they collide with the upward fish, forming a "traffic jam", and then a large group of fish gathers together.
Those fish pickers specialize in picking up big, good, and valuable fish. Li Long and the others just took a look at them, and then immediately joined in.
“There are few people now, so let’s pick up fish first. Remember, carp and Wudaohei weigh about two kilograms. Try to pick up big crucian carps. When you encounter them, ask them if they can sell them. It’s only a dime. You still have to choose. If they don't sell it, don't worry about it. Ask them again later. I can keep at most a few hundred kilograms of fish in my home, and I will sell the rest - don’t worry, there are not many fish that can be harvested now, so don’t blindly raise the price..."
Li Long said the words quickly, and then He grabbed a bag and a handful of nets and rushed down.
This is a sea of fish!
When encountering such a scene, it is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the country cannot calm down and turn a blind eye, right?
When I started, I saw a group of crucian carp in a puddle. The thin layer of ice on it had been broken by the fish themselves, and there were some broken ice cubes on the side. Among the group of fish, the largest one was close to One kilogram of large crucian carp, Li Long picked up the large crucian carp and fished it into the net, and also fished in two other crucian carps. Li Long didn't even pour the fish into the net, but directly lifted it into the water tank. Rush away.
This tank is full of fresh, live, and beautiful-looking big fish. The target is here!
The others were a step slower than Li Long, but they all moved very quickly. They ran in with the net and the bag. Later, those who did not have the net ran directly in with the bag.
The last ones left were Li Jianguo, who was about to unload the carriage, Tao Jianshe, who was untying the donkey harness, and Yang Yongqiang's father, Yang Hua, who was putting down the carriage.
The three of them got the car together and then walked inside.
Whether they are in front or behind, these people are thinking about one question when copying fish. Isn't this Li Long too powerful? Can such things be predicted in advance?
Of course it was not predicted. When Li Long was fishing for fish in a water tank, he felt that his memory had awakened again.
In his last life, he was very playful. He was indeed the first in the village to discover that the water in the big sea here was drained, and he picked up any fish in it.
But he was stupid at that time. He was holding a dip net and looked at the fish in the water tank. They couldn't move at all. He caught big fish one by one. His excitement at that time surpassed everything else. It was all a harvest. ah.
However, when he was fishing, he felt something was wrong. He turned around and found that he was fishing in front, and there were women and children behind who directly picked up the fish he caught. He ran over and said that it was the fish he caught. People don't care about him at all.
At that time, the area was full of people from the village below Dahaizi. He knew that even if he tried to fight, he couldn’t catch the fish, so he had no choice but to put the fish into the net. He continued fishing with the net and fished a lot. The net fish is only a dozen kilograms at most. At this time, people in the villages below heard the news and there were more and more people here. In the end, Li Long had no choice but to go back.
It was already afternoon when I got home. After Li Jianguo heard about this, he said that if he had just gone home and told his family when he saw the fish, and the whole family came together, there would never have been the previous situation where the fish was taken away by others. .
I can only say that I was deceived by lard instead of fish oil.
Now Li Long can no longer make such stupid and low-level mistakes. He specializes in picking up large carp, crucian carp, and Wudaohei. Of course, he also doesn't let go of the plateau loaches. After picking it up, he put it directly into the bag. In less than fifteen minutes, the bag was full of fish. Li Long picked up the bag and ran to the shore.
There were too many fish. Not only him, but Li Anguo and others also caught a bag in a short time. When Li Long turned around, he said to Li Jianguo:
"Brother, either you are on the shore Watch from the sidecar, put the fish we caught here, otherwise What should I do if someone steals it from me? "
"Okay." Although Li Jianguo also thought about the fish addiction, the overall situation was more important, so he returned to the car with the bag and sat on the carriage. He took out the Mohe cigarette box from his pocket, took out the paper, and rolled up the cigarette.
This is the first time I have seen so many fish in my life!
There is no shortage of fish to eat this winter.
The sky gradually grew brighter, and more and more fish were piled beside the carriage. Soon there were more than ten bags of fish, and the speed at which they brought the fish over later slowed down.
Because they have gone deep into the depths of the sea and are close to the north.
When Li Long came over again carrying a bag of fish, he was panting. The sun had risen, and the sunlight shone on his face, which was a bit dazzling.
"Brother, look, have you ever seen such a big clam?" Li Long also held a black guy in his hand, "It's too big, I don't know if there are pearls in it..."
"Is this river boy so big?" Li Jianguo called the river mussel "He baby" in his hometown. "There may not be any pearls, but this guy must be at least twenty or thirty years old. He's really big!"
"There may be parasites." Li Long threw the river mussel to the side of the carriage and planned to take a break to catch his breath. "Brother, are there a ton of fish here now?"
"The three families combined should be about the same. Our side alone should have six to seven hundred kilograms." Li Jianguo had already made an estimate before, "When we get some more, we can pull it away with a carriage."
"Then let's take it away later, unload it to the horse number and home, and then come over and take it again."
"Everyone in the team will know about it."
"I can't hide the news. If you know it, you'll know it. Anyway, there are a lot of fish in this big sea. If you come early, catch more. If you come late, catch less. We have already caught the bulk and have the upper hand."< br>
"That's true. It's just that there won't be many fish in Dahaizi next year." Li Jianguo sighed.
"That won't happen." Li Long smiled and pointed at the gate and said, "Brother, there is no net at the gate. When the fish in the reservoir below are released, they can come up along the water. . There will also be fish washed down in the Mo River channel. There will definitely not be as many fish here as this year, but there will be no less fish," Li Jianguo thought about it.
Then continue fishing. After the sun rose, more and more people came to catch fish from the villages in the north. Li Jianguo let Tao Jianshe watch, and he drove a carriage back with a cart of fish. When they got to the village, many people saw it. .
"Brother Li, where did so many fish come from? Dahaizi?" If you have a good connection, just ask directly.
"The water in Dahaizi is dry, and it is full of fish." Li Jianguo did not hide anything, and said directly, "A lot of people are fishing now?"
"Real or false?" Listen. Those who arrived were immediately shocked, this was no small matter.
“Really, look at the fish in this car, all of us caught them.”
“Thank you, let’s go get some fish too!”
Fish can be sold for money. This is the experience that the villagers learned from Li Long. Although the fish consumes oil, it is delicious. This is the experience passed down over the years. Nowadays, there are fish that can be picked up for free, who wouldn’t want them?
So he called his friends, and suddenly many people in the village knew about it.
When Li Jianguo unloaded a cart of fish into Laomahao's warehouse and pulled the carriage to Dahaizi, many people in the village were walking that way.
When he arrived at Dahaizi, Li Jianguo discovered that there were not many people in Haizi before, only twenty or thirty years ago. There are almost a hundred people now, and the number of people coming here from the north shore is still increasing.
Li Long came over with a bag of fish and said to Li Jianguo:
"Brother, let's stop fishing and collect the fish. Now some people are already thinking about selling the fish. Look at my bag, I picked it up from his pile. They are evenly distributed, and they are all carp with five black streaks."
"How can you buy it without a scale?" Li Jianguo was a little confused.
“Two cents a piece.” Li Long said with a smile, “Two cents for the bigger ones, and one cent for the smaller ones. That man’s family of three were all picking up fish, and they picked up two hundred kilograms. Duo Na was also worried. As soon as I said I wanted to buy it, he immediately agreed. "
It feels so good to receive the goods openly. It reminded Li Long that when he was traveling to Ili, he encountered two Kazakh herdsmen selling mushrooms while passing by Provincial Highway 315. A woven bag of large white reed mushrooms was estimated to weigh forty-five kilograms. The other party wanted one hundred, so he bargained for fifty, and finally settled on sixty... which was a pretty big one he picked up in his previous life.
When I went there later, ordinary Bachu mushrooms were sold for 100 yuan per kilogram. It can only be said that with more people, prices are also rising.
Now is the time to pick up big leaks, or a win-win situation.
Li Long would occasionally catch a big fish when swimming among the crowd, but most of the time he was still looking for the target person.
Those who came early were mostly in groups, and one person guarded a pile of fish, while the others picked up the fish and put them here.
Li Long walked up to a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman and asked:
"Sister, how are you asking, will this fish be sold? If so, I will pick it up now. Pay now.”
The woman said in embarrassment:
“My man said that if you want to sell them, sell them all together, and you won’t let you choose...”
“If you don’t choose, you will have a bunch of fish, I The most I can pay is three yuan." Li Long shook his head, "There are too many small crucian carp..."
"This crucian carp is not small! The woman felt that Li Long was wrong and defended, "We didn't even pick up the small ones."
"But compared with those big fish, you are a small fish." This pile of fish weighs forty or fifty kilograms, and less than half of it is crucian carp. In this case, it’s not worth buying it.”
"That's too cheap. It's less than a cent per kilogram...the fish in the market only costs seven or eight cents per kilogram."
"That's different. Now the sea is full of fish. In the past, you had to use a net to catch the fish, but now you just bend down and pick it up..." Li Long waved his hand and said, "I will go to other places to collect the fish first, you can take a look later."
As he said, he went to other places. people there.
After a while, another deal was made, a bag of big fish was collected, and he carried it towards the south bank.
At this time, most of the people he brought over also started to collect fish.
Unlike Li Long, these people are more or less informal, accepting even ten items, eight items, and even two items. Chen Xingbang, in particular, mainly focuses on greeting young people and young men, especially teenagers, and watching them make big profits. The fish began to come forward to buy them.
These teenagers basically don’t have much money in their hands, so when they first catch the fish, they want to take it back to their families to eat. But if there are too many, some people will exchange them for money, even if it’s a dime a fish, they Very happy too.
For a dime, you can exchange it for several candies in the sales department and two chicken intestines (valve core tubes and rubber bands) to make a slingshot.
So Chen Xingbang carries the most fish every time.
"Xingbang, let Xiaolong give you more bonuses later. You bought a lot of fish!" Li Jianguo saw clearly that after a while, Chen Xingbang was able to carry a bag of fish on his back, and they were full of fish. Big guy, this shows his business acumen.
"Xiaolong's method is better. We can catch a quarter at most at this moment. Buying fish is so fast!" Chen Xingbang sincerely admired Li Long's idea, "Only these fish, then take them to the market It will take a lot of fish to go to the market that day. I asked, the fish on the market is only 70 to 80 cents per kilogram, and you can make a lot of money this time.”
“Haha, it’s only once a year, otherwise why would Xiaolong dare to tell you? How about getting a bicycle for each person?" Li Jianguo said with a smile.
"I have to rush to collect some more for this bicycle. Now is the time to catch fish."
Bags of fish were transported, and Li Jianguo pulled a carriage back. When I came back, I brought my food here directly.
A large basket of steamed buns, two thermoses of boiling water, two pots of vegetables, fried shredded potatoes and pickled vegetables with fried meat.
Li Jianguo saw Li Junshan coming with a bag of fish at this time, so he asked him to put the fish down and called others to come over for dinner.
Having hot meals to eat while working is really the envy of the other people. (End of this chapter)
