Chapter 25 Fishing
“If nothing else, this kid tried his best to please me when he met me before. Do you think he ignored me today?”
Sun Yanhong tangled her hair and smiled. said.
Chen Ling used to know that Chen Erzhu relied on Sun Yanhong's relationship after he was released from prison.
I also know that Sun Yanhong’s brother is a great figure in the county.
So after meeting Sun Yanhong while drinking with Chen Erzhu, Chen Ling naturally wanted to have a good relationship with this eldest sister.
Sun Yanhong knew this well, but because of Chen Ling's good looks, she didn't expose it. She would even take the initiative to tease him a few times when they met.
Actually, apart from his appearance, Chen Ling had nothing worthy of her attention.
She just thought it was fun to have fun with a young pretty boy, and had no other meaning.
But she didn't expect that after meeting Chen Ling today, the boy didn't even look at her seriously, which made her a little depressed.
"Zhuzi, don't this kid hold back some bad ideas..."
"He dares to challenge his ancestors!"
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, this turtle boy is still very capable. Don't you dare to fight against Brother Zhu?"
Chen Erzhu had a dark face and spat bitterly.
No wonder he always felt that something was not right when he met Chen Ling this time.
In the past, when Chen Ling met, it would always be the elder brother and the younger brother who rushed to say nice things.
In addition, as long as Sun Yanhong is around, this kid can work hard to express himself, want to climb high, and want to get ahead.
Not only not this time.
You didn't blush, your heart didn't beat, and you opened your eyes and lied to him in front of him.
Looking like two different people from the idiot who fooled around in two sentences in his impression?
Could it be that this kid is really harboring some bad ideas?
Chen Erzhu's face looked a little ugly.
Next to.
Sun Yanhong still had a relaxed look on her face, and said with a smile: "Don't be so stinky, I just said casually, are you still afraid of him? A silly boy with no ability at all, just has bad intentions. How much waves can the mind create? ”
“That’s true”
Chen Erzhu paused and his expression relaxed a lot.
“However, in the past, I could have hung this kid up so that he could put more effort into building the greenhouse.”
“Free labor is wasted if it is not used. "
"Grandma, don't think about it now, labor and management have to spend money to hire a supervisor."
Chen Erzhu spat hard again, a little angry.
...
Over there, Chen Erzhu was still scolding Chen Ling.
At this time, Chen Ling had long forgotten about Chen Erzhu.
He was driving the donkey cart happily to the bank of Nansha River.
This time is about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking around, there was no one around.
Chen Ling parked the donkey cart next to a big willow tree, then swayed toward the river carrying the fishing rod and bucket.
“Quack, quack, quack…”
As soon as I got closer, a group of ducks in the withered yellow reeds on the bank were startled, and they jumped into the river with a splash. Swim toward the distance.
“Hahaha, the spring river water warms the duck prophet!”
Chen Ling smiled and found a big rock to sit on.
The bait was taken out from the cave. This bait was bean cakes taken from the oil mill. It was mixed with wheat bran and thrown into the cave water overnight. Now it was stirred, hung up with a fishhook, and lowered into the river.
This bait is all mixed with good stuff. It would be unjustifiable if we don’t catch a few old turtles.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Twenty minutes have passed, let alone an old turtle.
Not even a decent fish was caught.
The fish he caught were all small fish about ten centimeters long. He threw them all into the cave. Let's keep them first.
"It must be because of the group of ducks just now. Even if there were fish and old turtles, they were all scared away."
Chen Ling reacted, put away the fishing rod and prepared to change places.
After getting up and walking a few steps, he hurriedly stopped his feet and was attracted by something in the reeds in front of him.
"Hey, duck eggs!"
Chen Ling was very surprised.
I didn’t expect that group of ducks to still lay eggs here. I opened the reed cover and counted them carefully.
There are actually eleven.
"It's good now. Even if we can't catch the old turtle today, it won't be a loss."
Chen Ling picked up a duck egg. It was not small and was still warm.
Mostly they are freshly laid eggs.
Because domestic ducks can no longer hatch eggs, if you want to hatch ducklings in rural areas, you can only rely on old hens.
This duck egg is still warm, which means it has just been laid.
Afterwards, Chen Ling took out a basket from the cave.
Pick up the eleven duck eggs one by one and put them into the basket.
Three or four of the duck eggs are warm.
It is a newly laid egg.
Chen Ling shook his head and smiled, thinking: "I don’t know whose duck it is, it must be used to laying eggs outside."
When he was a child, ducks were raised at home.
Some ducks are obedient and return to their nests every day at dark and lay eggs in their nests in the evening or at night.
But some ducks are not good at it. Although they return to their nests after dark, they always lay eggs outside.
A corner to the east and a corner to the west, maybe where it is.
Moreover...
Most ducks lay eggs in the evening and night, but some ducks do not do this. They have to lay eggs outside during the day and then go home after laying eggs.
Chen Ling remembered that when he was young, there were several ducks like this in his family.
Every time he lays eggs in other people’s homes, his grandma gets really angry.
Later, I built a duck pen to block it, but it didn’t work, because these ducks are used to laying eggs outside, and they can’t lay eggs well if they are penned up.
Grandma had no choice but to kill and eat.
"Good guy, another one."
As he walked forward, Chen Ling found another duck egg in the reeds. If he hadn't had good eyesight, he would have stepped on it.
Afterwards, Chen Ling walked around and picked up a dozen duck eggs from the reeds.
“There are quite a few!”
“It seems that these ducks often lay eggs here!”
Chen Ling looked at the basket full of duck eggs, almost forty of them, and murmured, "I don't know whose duck it is, it's really a waste..."
This guy has four ducks. A dozen duck eggs can be sold for more than half a month's expenses for ordinary people.
Besides, people in the county are not rich these days.
During the wave of layoffs, there were many people picking up leftovers in the vegetable market.
Thinking in his heart, Chen Ling searched carefully around and picked up three or four more duck eggs, but there were no more eggs.
Chen Ling then chose a new position, lowered the fishing hook, and continued his fishing career.
"Crash, crash, crash..."
Within two minutes of the fishing hook entering the water, a small area of water four to five meters square in front of Chen Ling began to boil.
It was like a pot exploding, with waves of water splashing, and the water surface was agitated.
Big fish swam over from all directions one after another!
The bait on the fishing hook was washed away and scattered in the river, where it was eaten up by the fish.
“Good guy, this effect is even more powerful than I expected!”
Chen Ling’s mouth widened in surprise, and he laughed happily.
I thought to myself that it was the group of ducks that scared away the fish just now. Otherwise, it would be impossible to catch only a few small fish sporadically with the bait mixed with Dongtian Creek water.
So I simply put away the fishing rod, stirred the remaining bait, and sprinkled it into the water.
"Wow!"
The school of fish that was still swimming nearby suddenly swarmed up with a roar and feasted on the bait.
In the blink of an eye, the bait was once again eaten up by the fish.
Some fish poked their heads out of the water and opened their mouths as if urging more to be dropped.
The more impatient ones jumped out of the water and slapped the entire surface of the water.
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry. When you get into my cave, you will have enough to eat and drink."
Chen Ling sprinkled the bait and scooped fish into it with a bucket, but not a single fish was hiding.
At a glance, fish are jumping up and down in the water, just like they are rushing to get into Chen Ling's bucket.
This time, it’s a bumper harvest!
