Reborn King of Marketing

After wrapping the calcium carbide properly, Zhang Xuebing went to the fishing gear market again and bought a net bag and tools for use. In the end, he still had more than one yuan left, so he bought it for the little girl into rock candy. There was no way this was the cheapest thing.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen to the middle of the sky, and Zhang Xuebing didn't have a watch. He calculated that it should be around ten o'clock. He happened to meet a car going into the mountain to pull stones, and he took a ride back to the village.

"Yeah, candy bar, hee hee, you really bought it, prodigal son, huh!"

Although the little girl who was doing her homework looked angry, she had a smile on her face.

"Hide it and eat it, don't let your sister see it!"

"I know, I know, I'll soak in the water and drink it. Hey, did you buy these nets to actually catch fish?"

The little girl looked at those things curiously, and stuffed the candy cubes that she licked twice into Zhang Xuebing's mouth.

The rock sugar cubes didn't melt easily, and they only made noises in his mouth. Zhang Xuebing's words were like a big tongue, "I, I'm useful, do you want to eat donkey?"

"Haha, is the fish good? Give it back to a donkey. I think you are a stupid donkey!"

Zhang Xuebing carried those things and pouted towards the door, "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to eat fish, just fight with me!"

"Eat, no fool would want to eat it, but where are we going? A fish pond? There is a big wolf dog!"

Zhang Xuebing didn't explain anything along the way. The little girl was jumping up and down carrying the net and talking non-stop, like an oriole!

After leaving Houcun, you can’t walk far before you really enter a deep ravine.

The abundant rainfall every summer forms many mountain streams and streams in the mountains.

Over time, in all the low-lying places in the ravines, there are wild pools everywhere, like pearls scattered in the mountains, and the creeks are like necklaces stringing them together.

Some of these pools are crystal clear, while others are abysmal and bottomless, which is scary to look at. Coupled with the deep forest and quietness, it looks even more mysterious and strange.

People in the mountains are very superstitious. Legend has it that there are water ghosts, water monkeys and the like in these pools. If they see a living person, they will pull them into the water to take the place of the dead ghost.

Therefore, very few people from the village usually come here, and no matter how good the water quality is, no one dares to go swimming.

Since the water is too deep, no one catches the fish in it. At most, a few young guys come here to fish occasionally.

As time goes by, the number of fish in the pool is considerable.

The two of them walked to the edge of a pool with a radius of two acres. Looking at the deep green water that seemed to have no bottom, a cold air hit them, and the little girl started shivering.

"Zhang Xuebing, I, I don't want to eat fish anymore, let's go home!"

"Look at how cowardly you are, standing aside and watching me do a trick!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xuebing put down the things in his hands, took out the three layers of the plastic bag and opened it, revealing a bag of gray-white stuff that looked like quicklime.

"Hey, what is this?" The little girl reached out to grab it out of curiosity.

Bang, Zhang Xuebing slapped her hand away, "Burn your hand, it's calcium carbide!"

"I seem to have studied chemistry. Calcium carbide reacts with water to form, what is it?"

This girl is a bit biased!

Zhang Xuebing used another plastic bag as a glove, grabbed a large handful of calcium carbide, and threw it into the depths of the pool with all his strength.

"When calcium carbide meets water, hey, you really want to use this to catch fish, does it work?"

Zhang Xuebing stared at the calm water and scratched his head a little. Why didn't he react? Could it be that these calcium carbides have reacted due to moisture?

"Zhang Xuebing, your method doesn't work. I think it's better to use the net to catch it. Oh, oh, oh, mom..."

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the entire pool bulge from underneath, as if the water in the pool had risen.

She was so frightened that she screamed, pulled Zhang Xuebing and ran away.

"Don't be afraid, hide behind me!"

The little girl hid behind Zhang Xuebing, holding her little hands around his waist and still trembling.

Gudong, a huge bubble emerged from the pool, and a smell of garlic suddenly hit my nose.

Zhang Xuebing and the little girl choked so much that they almost vomited. They covered their mouths and noses and ran out for more than ten meters before they felt much better.

At this time, the whole pool seemed to be boiling, and bubbles were rising.

Big bubbles and small bubbles kept rising up endlessly. All kinds of dead branches, leaves, sludge and debris floated to the surface of the water along with these rolling bubbles. The originally green pool water became like a pot.

Multigrain porridge.

After waiting for a few minutes, the entire pool stopped.

"Calcium carbide reacts with water to form acetylene..." Only then did the little girl remember, and even said the formula again.

At this moment, the water surface stopped bubbling, as if nothing had happened.

"Where's the fish?"

"Wait a little longer!"

The main function of acetylene is to deprive the water of oxygen, causing the fish in it to suffocate and float up, but this process takes some time.

Just when they were waiting impatiently, a white thing floated up from the bottom of the water. Upon closer inspection, it was a carp about a foot long, floating on the water and rippling with the water waves.

"Fish, there are really fish coming up!" The little girl pointed at the water and jumped excitedly.

As if to attract the attention, just a few seconds after this fish came up, fish came up one after another from the water, and soon there were dozens of various miscellaneous fish floating on the surface of the water.

"Come on, you take the net bag and I'll use the net!"

The two people had a clear division of labor. Zhang Xuebing was responsible for fishing up with a net, and Su Xin'er was responsible for loading it with a net bag.

There are carp as long as the shakuhachi, crucian carp as big as a palm, silver carp, grass carp, and even loach.

These fish seemed to be dead, floating motionless on the water with their bellies upwards. It was easier to pick them up with a net than bending down to pick up stones.

Within half an hour, the two large net bags were filled to the brim, weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

"Is this fish edible? Is it poisonous?" The little girl looked at the white fish belly and became worried.

"Silly girl, these fish are deprived of oxygen and most of them are not dead yet. If you don't believe me, put them in clear water and have a look!"

After the two fished out the fish on the water, they worked together to lift a net bag and put it into the upstream stream. Sure enough, after a while, most of the fish came to life, struggling desperately in the net bag and jumping around happily.

The little girl showed her white teeth and smiled, and the corners of her eyes were curved like crescent moons. "They are all alive. If they are dead, I will not dare to eat them no matter how hungry they are!"

The two big fish came back to life, proving that this method is very profitable!

While it was still early, they found two smaller pools.

This time Zhang Xuebing reduced the amount of calcium carbide, and the noise was not as loud as before, but it took a little longer for the fish to float up.

After catching all the fish in the pond, the two of them harvested two more bags of miscellaneous fish.

"How long can we eat these? No matter how much we have, we can't get them back!" Looking at so many fish, the little girl's face was filled with sadness instead of joy.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so be patient!"

Zhang Xuebing comforted her and started throwing calcium carbide into the third pool.

The third pool used less water, and only a few fish came up.

He calculated the dosage and water surface area, and roughly estimated that using about three taels of calcium carbide per mu of water surface can make fish float up due to lack of oxygen. If it is too much, it will be a waste, and if it is less, the effect will be poor.

After finishing the three pools, we ran out of calcium carbide, and harvested a total of five bags of various types of fish, weighing about three hundred kilograms.

The little girl is worried about how to get it back!

Zhang Xuebing was a little disappointed. They were all trash fish and didn't have what he wanted. Could it be that they were not afraid of lack of oxygen, or that they simply suffocated to death in the mud?

"Why are you so stunned? Let's go home quickly. I'm so scared here!" The little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes and pinched him.

Zhang Xuebing squatted on the edge of the pool, staring at the water, as if he was trying to get acquainted with the pool, "It's not easy to get it back, let me summon some strong laborers for you!"

Of course, Zhang Xuebing didn't know any summoning skills. He just shouted into the woods, "Come out, everyone. I've been watching for a long time and I haven't even asked for help!"
