Chapter 281

On the first net, it was almost densely covered with fish—at least ten kilograms!

The mesh of this net is not small, four fingers, and the big crucian carp, grass carp sticks, and carp hanging on it, there are very few five-black, and there are also some silver carp.

Basically, they are all over one kilogram, and there are also a few small fish hanging, when Li Long took the net, the small fish couldn't stick, and jumped away directly.

Even so, after collecting this net and putting it into the bag, Li Long obviously felt that the tire went down a section.

Originally thought it was a good start, the fish behind might not be so many, but who would have thought that the fish on the second net were just as many.

When Li Long collected the net, he looked forward along the net line, and could obviously see that in this groove, where there were nets, water splashes were flickering from time to time—obviously, these were all living fish still struggling on the net.

Two nets were stuffed into the urea bag, Li Long obviously felt that more than half of the tire was submerged in the water—there was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight kilograms of fish in these two nets.

After collecting another net, Li Long didn't dare to collect it, turned around and slid back, ten nets, even if half were collected, Li Long felt that it was possible to capsize the tire.

Tao Daqiang on the shore was a bit confused, why did he come back?

"Daqiang, you run home now, let my big brother harness the horse-drawn carriage and come over, there are too many fish, we can't get them back!"

"What?" Tao Daqiang didn't believe it a bit, "How is it possible that we can't get them back?"

"Look, these three nets, one and a half bags, almost two bags." When the tire was about to reach the shore, Li Long had already touched the bottom, he stood up and jumped into the water, dragging those two bags to the shore, "There are more than thirty kilograms of fish in these two bags, think about the other seven nets, how much will that be?"

Tao Daqiang came over and took the bags and carried them to the shore, he felt the weight, didn't say much, carried the heavy bag and walked back with big strides.

Li Long put the other bag on the shore, and then slid the tire into the water to continue collecting the nets.

Not long after entering the water, he turned his head and shouted to Tao Daqiang who had walked more than a hundred meters:

"Daqiang, bring a few more bags!"

Originally prepared four bags, feeling that it was enough no matter what, now it seems that it is really not necessarily enough.

"Got it, Brother Long!" Tao Daqiang replied, and continued to walk forward with big strides.

Li Long collected three more nets, each net had more than ten kilograms of fish, walking inside, silver carp became more.

However, Li Long had no time to complain at this time, no matter what, more fish is always a good thing.

Put these three nets and two bags on the shore, seeing that the horse-drawn carriage hadn't come over yet, Li Long had to pour the two big half bags to the water's edge, anyway, entangled by the net, these fish couldn't run away, and he could free up two bags to go in and collect the nets again.

This time it's good, two bags only collect two nets, and they are almost full, the mesh of these two nets is a bit smaller, and they are densely covered with palm-sized crucian carp.

These crucian carp are obviously thinner than the fish in the little sea, and the color is not so beautiful, but there are many!

And they are all alive!

When these two bags of fish were brought to the shore, Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang had already arrived and were loading the fish onto the horse-drawn carriage.

"Why so many?" Li Jianguo was also surprised.

"Maybe no one has caught fish in here, this big sea hasn't been drained of water for many years, so the fish inside are not many?" Li Long said.

"Load it up quickly and go back to pick the fish." Li Jianguo felt that it was indeed the reason, nodded and said.

"There is still a net inside." Li Long said, "I have to collect it again."

"Brother Long, let me collect it?" Tao Daqiang said, "You have run several trips."

"Then you have to be able to find the place?" Li Long smiled, "It's okay, just one net, very fast."

Li Long slid into the water again, this time sliding over was indeed fast, but coming back couldn't be fast, firstly Li Long was really tired, and secondly, there were at least seventeen or eighteen kilograms of fish on that last net!

When he reached the shore, Li Long felt that he had almost no strength left.

He was finally helped onto the horse-drawn carriage by Tao Daqiang, Li Long's most fortunate thing now is that he let Tao Daqiang go to catch the horse-drawn carriage the first time he felt there were too many fish. Although there was no road from the southeast shore of the big sea to the edge of the field, the rubber big tires of the horse-drawn carriage would not sink.

"Brother Long, these fish... must be a hundred kilograms, right?" Tao Daqiang was also quite excited, catching so many fish for the first time.

"Yes." Li Jianguo added before Li Long could speak, "Should be more. We have to pick the fish quickly when we go back."

"Today we have to sell in two places." Li Long said, "The county has to go, and Shicheng also has to go, otherwise these fish can't be sold out."

"Hmm." Li Jianguo said, and asked again: "Daqiang, can you sell in the county?"

"No." Tao Daqiang had self-knowledge, "I can't handle it myself—"

"Then I'll go to the county." Li Jianguo said, "Today the oil sunflowers in the team have been harvested, and they are drying sunflowers on the threshing floor, I won't go."

Li Long felt this was okay.

The three residential points of the whole village are arranged in a triangle from south to north, the residential point where Li Long is located is in the southernmost, the old horse pen is in the middle of the three residential points, and the big sea is in the northernmost.

So when the horse-drawn carriage returns from the big sea to the Li family, it has to pass through the residential point in the northeast corner, and the Gu Bo Yuan family is at this point.

When the horse-drawn carriage passed through the residential point, there were dogs barking, and people were active in the courtyard, seeing Li Jianguo pulling the horse-drawn carriage, they all asked.

Li Jianguo didn't hide it, and said with a smile:

"This isn't it, yesterday Without Xiao Long went to the big sea to set nets, and this morning is to take the nets."

"There are quite a few fish, have to use a horse-drawn carriage to pull..." Someone exclaimed.

"It's quite a few, there must be seventy or eighty kilograms." Li Jianguo said a little less.

"Yo, really many!"

Listening to it, they just sighed, and then passed.

After all, everyone knows that Li Long is considered a big fish-catching household in the team, the first generation of fishermen, now Meng Zhiqiang and the others catch fish after Li Long. And the Li family can live better than other families now, thanks to the fish in the little sea, now they are marching towards the big sea, they are really the material for eating this bowl of rice.

Envy is definitely there, jealousy is hard to say, after all, the big and small seas are open there, and it is not said that others are not allowed to catch fish, this is all based on ability.

When passing by Gu Bo Yuan's house, old Gu was brushing his teeth in the courtyard, seeing Li Jianguo, he raised his toothbrush cup and asked:

"What's the situation?"

"Without Xiao Long and the others set nets in the big sea, today these fish are a bit many..."

"Many? How many? Can pull a horse-drawn carriage? This time your family's Without Xiao Long is really famous." "There must be nearly a hundred kilograms!" Li Jianguo was very proud, "Want fish? Leave you a net?"

"You pull it down!" Gu Bo Yuan and Li Jianguo spoke to each other, you stab me a sentence, I stab you a sentence, "That fish is not as good as going to sell it for me to eat. I eat a fish for two days... go quickly, the fish won't be fresh if it's left for a long time."

Li Jianguo walked back with a smile.

When he returned home, Liang Yuemei was picking fish in front of the plastic cloth. Li Juan and Li Qiang had already eaten and carried their schoolbags. Li Jianguo said to them:

"You go to school first. There are many fish today, it won't be finished for a while, and I don't know when your uncle will sell the fish."

Li Qiang was a bit unhappy, Li Juan pulled him and left.

Next, several people picked fish quickly, one big fish after another was taken off the net and thrown into the basin. In order to distinguish the area, the Li family had three big basins, which were fully utilized at this time.

"This fish is not as beautiful as the little sea's." Liang Yuemei said.

"It's not, and it's not as fat as the little sea's." Li Long opened his mouth, "Big Brother, sell the fish later, this fish has to be sold cheaper."

"I know that." Li Jianguo said, "Our quantity is large. Dad said before, there are many fish, so you can't be too calculating. It's nothing for us to be one or two cents lower than the market price, selling it quickly is the right thing."

!.

Seeing that Li Jianguo knew it in his heart, Li Long felt relieved.

After picking the fish, Tao Daqiang wanted to return, Li Long didn't let him, and ate breakfast directly at the Li family. At this time, Liang Yuemei went to the threshing floor to work, Tao Daqiang tidied up the nets in the courtyard, and Li Long and Li Jianguo went to sell fish.

Maxian market, Meng Zhiqiang was quite happy, he didn't see Li Long when setting nets yesterday, and didn't see him when taking nets this morning.

Li Long and the others were not there, the market competition for selling fish in Maxian was not so fierce, they were safe and sound, and could sell fish leisurely.

Thinking so, but didn't expect that not long after, Li Long didn't come, Li Jianguo came.

Two big basins were set up, big and small fish were separated and poured out, Li Jianguo took out the energy he had broken through in his early years, and shouted loudly:

"Sell fish, sell fish! Big sea fresh wild fish! Sell fish, sell fish, fish is cheap! Big sea wild fish is cheap!"

Someone squeezed over to look, although there were not many people, the business opened quickly—nothing else, it was just cheap.

Small crucian carp seven cents, big crucian carp eight cents, carp eight cents, silver carp seven cents...

Although Li Jianguo and Li Long didn't weigh much, these fish on the ten nets were solidly filled with four big half urea bags, more than a hundred kilograms is certain.

Li Long took the basin and scale from the courtyard here, and also quickly rushed to Shicheng.

When he arrived at Shicheng, the sun had already risen, looking at the time it was more than ten o'clock, there were still many people, but obviously the flow of people cooking in the morning was not so large.

Li Long didn't care, it was a miscalculation in itself, and there was no way. He found an empty spot, parked the bicycle, poured the fish into the basin and shouted.

"Young man, your fish is not as good as before." An old customer saw Li Long, came over to look at the fish, and said.

"From the big sea reservoir," Li Long explained, "There are not so many water plants in the water, so the fish are thin. But the fish are also cheap, one or two cents cheaper per kilogram than before—crucian carp seven cents, carp five-black eight cents, how about it?"

"This price is not bad..." Now that material prices are generally starting to rise slowly, Li Long's fish price is even lower, and customers feel that Li Long is practical when they hear it:

"That's fine, I'll weigh one kilogram of crucian carp to taste, and see what the difference is."

"Alright. Come, one kilogram of crucian carp, add one more—this one is a bit thinner than the original one."

The time is not a good time, so there are people buying fish, but not as many as before. Some old customers also said that someone came to ask before, didn't see Li Long, some people bought other people's fish, and some people just went back.

The fish Li Long brought this time is actually not bad, just not as good as the little sea before. But in fact, the quality is about the same as the fish sold by others, and even a little better.

Because he missed the best time, these two bags of more than sixty kilograms of fish were sold until almost one o'clock.

Fortunately, these fish have strong vitality, until the last old man bought the remaining two kilograms of crucian carp, the crucian carp in the basin were still swimming weakly.

The strong vitality of crucian carp can be seen.

More than sixty kilograms of fish, sold for more than forty yuan, Li Long was quite satisfied. Because he had eaten breakfast at home, Li Long didn't drink milk tea again, he poured the remaining sewage in the basin into the ditch by the side of the road, packed up the things, and pushed the bicycle to walk through the crowd.

Most of the people still wandering on the old street now are people from the two counties on both sides. Locals either haven't finished work, or have already gone home to cook.

There are all kinds of things sold at the stalls. Tools are the majority, and there are quite a few people who know some craftsmanship at this time. Northern Xinjiang itself didn't have many Han people originally, but now it is considered to be all-encompassing, and people from everywhere are there. As long as you are diligent, even if you don't have any craftsmanship, you won't starve to death—for example, now, going to the production and construction corps to pick autumn can pick enough grain for a winter.

After all, there are few people and much land, in order to rush harvest, the work done is very rough, and there is no time and no one to do it so finely. Even ten years ago, there were mother and daughter who came from the mouth to pick up waste, picked several tons of corn in one autumn, and lived through the winter in an abandoned winter nest by eating corn.

Now, as long as you have some craftsmanship and your brain is flexible, you can live well. Contracting to households, various tools are definitely lacking, not only the collective is lacking, but farmers are also lacking, there is some spare money in hand to work, naturally they want to do the work better.

Li Long walked from the beginning of the street to the end, and unexpectedly found wild mushrooms for sale, and they were very cheap, six cents per kilogram, and very fresh, but unfortunately few people bought them.

Mushrooms are very ordinary, just that kind of grass mushroom, the kind that is one piece after another on the mountain by Li Long's wooden house.

There was one more family selling food, besides the one selling sesame cakes before, there was one more selling soup noodles, the taste was very fragrant, floating very far. The two families, one at the beginning of the street and one at the end of the street, did not affect each other, which was actually quite good.

Li Long was a bit hungry, went over to look at the one selling soup noodles.

In the small pot, the soup noodles were very thick, with a layer of chopped green onion floating on top. A stack of bowls on the small cart, there was a water bucket on the side, the stall owner was a woman in her thirties, when Li Long went over, she was washing the bowls eaten by guests with the water in the water bucket.

And then Li Long saw an oil print of a finger on the washed bowl, and immediately lost interest.

Although there were many tomatoes in the soup noodles, floating green vegetable leaves, and it smelled very good, Li Long had no appetite.

Turned around and left.

Better go back and make it yourself. Maybe he has been a person for two lives, and has become a bit pretentious. He didn't eat, but some people didn't dislike it, two cents a bowl of hot rice, what is there to dislike?

That noodle piece is so thick, and it is filling.

Li Long rode the bicycle back, better go home and make it himself.

Anyway, onions and coriander in the courtyard are ready-made, the kitchen also has chili, celery, and cooked meat, and there is no shortage of flour.

Can't wrong yourself, go back and make it yourself! (End of chapter)
