Little Farmer Big Star

One and a half barrels slowly headed towards the center of the Yantang. www.biquge.info

Now, there are about 20 half-barrels in the entire Yantang, and my father and third uncle are also on one of the half-barrels.

Of course, Li Fan is also on the half-barrel, and he operates this thing more easily and casually. In addition to Li Fan, there are also two little girls, Xiaodong and Xiaoping, on Bantong.

Li Fan didn't plan to let the three little guys come up, but the three little guys begged for a long time "Brother, Brother, Brother", and there was no danger, so Li Fan agreed.

Li Fan rowed half of the bucket, while the three little guys lay on the edge of the half bucket, with both hands in the water, letting the water flow over their arms. From time to time, I grabbed a handful of duckweed from the water and threw it far away, having a great time.

Duckweed is a common floating plant in weir ponds. Its fronds are symmetrical, green on the surface, light yellow or greenish white on the back, and some are purple. Subround, obovate or obovate-elliptic, entire.

Floating in pieces on the surface of the water, you can grab a handful of them.

Of course, not all water has duckweed. The area of ​​duckweed in the entire weir pond accounts for about two-tenths of the entire area.

It is enough to remove some of these duckweeds, not all of them.

About 20 and a half buckets paddled back and forth on the water surface, and the aquatic plants, branches, bamboo poles, and some duckweed were quickly cleaned up.

Everyone went ashore one after another, and half of the barrels were all moved ashore. Next is the net fish that everyone is most looking forward to.

In fact, people are often more interested in the process of fishing than eating fish. Not just netting fish, but also catching fish in other ways.

For example, after heavy rain, Luohe, stream ditches, and some farmlands will swell. At this time, the bear children, young people, and even older people in the village will use fences made of strips to catch fish in various gaps in the flowing water.

Place the fence flat or at a slight angle at the gap where the water flows, and fix it, and find some aquatic plants to form a circle around it.

Just keep by the fence like this, from time to time there will be various fish, big or small, washed onto the fence by the running water, and you can just catch the fish directly on the fence.

The reason why everyone is so interested in catching fish is mainly to enjoy the process of catching fish and the surprise of a fish rushing out from time to time.

The same is true for net fish. Whenever the net is received from the shore and the net is lifted, watching the fish, big and small, jubilant in the net,

Everyone is very excited.

Of course, in addition to this method of pulling net fishing, there is also a common fishing method, casting net fishing.

Whenever a villager casts a net to catch fish in the weir pond with a half bucket, there will always be a group of spectators around the weir pond. When the fishing villagers collect the nets that have been cast down and there are fish in them, it often attracts cheers from the onlookers on the shore.

What Li Fan and the others are going to do today is naturally pull the net to catch fish.

Pull net fishing sometimes requires diving into the water. Fortunately, it is now mid-October, the weather is not too cold, and everyone does not feel cold when they go into the water. If it is winter, it will be a little troublesome.

This weir pond is too big, basically in a square shape, and one side is more than 80 meters. So the fishing net Li Fan prepared was also super long, but it was not easy to pull such a long fishing net in the weir pond.

The net needs to be pulled from one side of the weir pond to the opposite side, and then the net is collected.

However, everyone is full of confidence and quite excited. I have never pulled such a long net before. How many fish must be in this net? Excited just thinking about it.

Because the net is too long, the water in the weir pond is too deep, reaching a depth of 5 meters. Therefore, before lowering the net, it is necessary to properly tie some stones on the side of the net under the water so that the net can sink to the bottom of the water.

Of course, the stone should not be too heavy, just enough to allow the net to sink to the bottom of the water. If the stone is too heavy, Li Fan estimates that all the people here will not be able to lift it in the end.

"Attention everyone, the net has started." After the stone was tied up, Li Qi shouted and directed everyone to get off the net.

Everyone chose to pull the net from south to north, because the bank of the weir pond in the north is relatively flat, which is convenient for loading fish after lifting the net.

On the south side of Yantang, people slowly lowered the side of the net tied with stones into the water. After the net enters the water, it slowly sinks under the action of stones.

After about a minute, it felt like the net had sunk to the bottom. Li Qi shouted: "Go down, two people, check to see if there is any?"

"Okay! I'll go down." Two people agreed at the same time, then took off their underwear, only wearing a pair of underwear, and then plunged into the water.

About two minutes later, the two surfaced, signaling that the nets had all sunk to the bottom.

The next step is to pull the net. Before the net is launched into the water, the rope has been tied.

Five ropes are tied equidistantly on both sides of the net, and each rope is 100 meters long.

The four ropes at both ends of the net were pulled by four groups of people on the east and west banks of the Yantang respectively. The six ropes in the middle pass directly through the weir pond and are pulled by six groups of people standing on the north bank of the weir pond.

There are 10 ropes in the whole net, which are pulled by 10 groups of people. Such a scene can be described as quite spectacular.

There are more and more villagers watching around, and the villagers have never seen such a large net. Many people simply automatically joined the net pulling team. Although I exerted the strength of breastfeeding, it felt quite enjoyable,

Fortunately, the net is not an ordinary net, otherwise such a pull method would have been broken long ago.

Under the joint efforts of everyone, the net began to move from south to north little by little.

"Haha! Pulled." Everyone cheered. But everyone also knows that this is just the beginning, and the net will become heavier and heavier, because there will be more and more fish in it.

...

Just when Li Fan and others were struggling to pull the net.

Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia have arrived at the entrance of Sansheng Village. Judging from the suitcases that the two were dragging, they didn't bring much.

"Old man, how much does it cost for young Li Fan to repair these things so well?" Zhang Xia looked at the buildings at the entrance of the village. After being surprised, she was very worried about whether Li Fan would be able to make a profit after spending so much money.

Zheng Jie was also slightly surprised. When he came last time, construction had just started here, and he didn't expect it to be repaired so well. And looking at the structure of the building that is still under construction, the scale is obviously not small.

However, he wasn't worried about whether Li Fan could make money in the future. That kid will never do anything he is not sure about.

He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him. Let's go in. After you go in, you will know whether the photos I took back last time are deceiving people."

"I believe it now, just from the entrance of the village, you can get a glimpse of the scenery of the village." Zhang Xia said. Only now did she know why Zheng Jie kept talking about moving here.

Because, before entering the village, she already fell in love with this place.

Hearing what Zhang Xia said, Zheng Jie smiled smugly. Just as he was about to enter the village, when he turned his head, he suddenly found that there were two people sitting with their backs to them not far away, and their backs looked familiar.
