- Under Liu Junhao's guidance, Zhang Hongbin finally dug smoothly.
Not every cave contains loaches. Many holes are made by other aquatic creatures, such as field snails, green shrimps, and leech Zhang Hongbin quickly summed up his experience: other cave walls are rough, but loach holes are very smooth, just like It looks like it has been carefully polished. No wonder the old people often say that it is "as slippery as a loach". The emotion comes from this allusion.
In half an hour, I dug seven or eight of them, which was a small gain. Spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides. Loach also abides by this law. At this time, the loaches have stored a large amount of nutrients necessary for winter, and they are extremely fat. Seven or eight of them weigh nearly half a catty.
However, his speed is incomparable with Liu Junhao. He picked up the shovel and swung it very fast. At this time, he already had half a bucket.
After digging another shovel, Zhang Hongbin suddenly became excited and shouted repeatedly: "Xiao Hao, I have another big loach here."
¡°Give up, don¡¯t dig this hole,¡± Liu Junhao looked over and said.
"Why don't you dig it up? It must be a big loach." Brother Zhang Qian asked doubtfully. He also had experience digging out so many loaches. The mud hole was smooth and the walls were about the size of a one-yuan coin. There was definitely a big guy inside.
"This is not a loach hole, but a hole made by eels." Liu Junhao explained. The eel cave is different from the loach cave. The cave is generally twisted and rarely goes straight up and down. Experienced people can see it at a glance.
"The eel is also very goodisn't it more expensive?" Zhang Hongbin became confused.
"That's it, the key is that the gain outweighs the loss. In winter, eel holes are at least one meter deep. They can't be dug out in less than half an hour. If you have the time, you might as well dig out a few more loaches."
Liu Junhao is not exaggerating on this point. The weather is cold in winter and eels have poor frost resistance. So the drill is very deep. Similar to this are crayfish, which can drill more than two meters deep in winter. To dig them out, you have to dig at least half a truckload of soil, which is really not worth the gain.
¡°I¡¯ll dig it out and give it a try. A big eel is really worth it.¡± Zhang Hongbin didn¡¯t want to give up and continued to work hard.
Liu Junhao didn¡¯t say anything else. Brother Zhang Qian was just here for fun, and it didn¡¯t matter what he dug.
But Zhang Hongbin quickly gave up. Just after digging half a meter deep, the bottom was hit by river rocks. The shovel couldn't exert its power at all, so we had to give up halfway.
The two of them dug from around nine o'clock until eleven o'clock. The harvest was huge, with loaches nearly half a bucket in size. Liu Junhao picked it up and found it weighed twenty kilograms.
"Dad, I need to go to the toilet." They were busy, Zeyu came over and said. This little guy. I haven¡¯t got the habit of being convenient in the wild yet.
"You go home alone, I'm not busy." Zhang Hongbin was digging vigorously and answered without raising his head.
"I don't, I want to watch you dig up loaches" The little guy said he didn't want to leave alone.
"Large or small?" Liu Junhao asked.
"Trumpet" is rare. This kid actually understands.
"You go there and deal with it." Liu Junhao pointed to a dry ditch not far away. "Don't worry. No one can see it."
"Oh" Ozawa nodded and left, this guy. When you go to pee, you can always take a small rake with your hands.
"Wait, I'm going too," Xiao Jianhui responded and followed.
After solving the personal problem, Xiao Zeyu raised the rake and dug around, and found a loach hole in the soft black mud.
Now he got excited, picked up a small nail and began to rake. Unexpectedly, with a little digging, a fat loach appeared.
After digging again, two pairs appeared The brothers' faces turned red with excitement, and they both raised their rakes and got busy.
Four, eight nests of loaches were dug out. This inconspicuous dry ditch is like a long firecracker, and the loaches are like firecrackers on the firecracker. Lighting the fuse, a large group of loaches appeared in front of him.
Liu Junhao and the others were so busy that they completely forgot about the two brothers. When they took a break, they remembered that they were not around.
So, Zhang Hongbin hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Uncle, uncle, come here quickly. We have caught a lot of loaches. There are so many loaches here that we can't finish digging them all. Come quickly" Xiao Jianhui responded at the top of his voice.
¡°What¡the two of them ran over in disbelief.
Good guy, Liu Junhao was shocked when he saw that the small bucket in front of him was almost full.
As for Brother Zhang Qian, he is even more embarrassed. I have been busy for a long time, but I haven't dug as much as the two little guys: "This did you dig here?"
"Well, look," Xiao Jianhui nodded and demonstrated. Another loach was hooked out under the rake.
That¡¯s okay too! ! Liu Junhao also clicked his tongue.Incessantly. He leaned over and took a look, but he still didn't understand why the loach holes were so shallow, and the density of distribution was much higher than in puddles. This ditch was newly dug by me the year before last to drain the accumulated water in the backyard. It connects the puddles outside the backyard with the ditches in the fields, and further flows into the Baitiao River. In summer, the accumulated water in the backyard is drained through it.
Logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be so many loaches? Old experiences encounter new problems.
Liu Junhao is like that, he always wants to figure things out when he doesn't understand them. He simply walked back and forth along the ditch without digging. After patting my head, I finally realized that it was a cement loach!
This ditch does look inconspicuous, but if you study both ends carefully, you will find that it is exactly in the shape of a basin. The side near the puddle is slightly higher, with a drop of about 30 centimeters. Loaches, like other fish, like to swim against the current. When the water rises in summer, the loaches in the Baitiao River swim along the current to the dry ditch. As a result, due to the large drop at the front end of the puddle, most of the loaches cannot get up and can only be blocked in the dry ditch.
Anyone who often catches fish on rainy days knows that most fish on the water gather at the drop of the water flow. As long as no one disturbs them, they generally will not turn around and swim away, so it is easy to catch them. Get a fishing net under the drop, and these fish won't escape.
When the water in the backyard is drained, the ditch will become stagnant water due to the height difference. These loaches will not be able to swim upstream and will be trapped and die in the ditch.
Because of this, there are so many loaches in this inconspicuous ditch.
As for why they dig shallower holes than other loaches Liu Junhao also wants to understand now. The reason is simple, earthy! ! When he originally dug this trench, he was afraid that it would be blocked by silt, so he specially put a layer of yellow clay underneath. This kind of mud contains a lot of sand, which is difficult for loaches to penetrate when burrowing, so the burrows are only in the thin layer of black mud above.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao used a rake to dig lightly on the ground. Sure enough, seven or eight centimeters below was yellow clay.
After finding the reason, the two adults immediately waved their shovels and moved their positions.
In just half an hour, they plowed through this 20-meter-long dry ditch. The results were beyond imagination, and the two small buckets were filled to the brim.
The more they worked, the more energetic they became, and they even forgot about lunch. Until Zhang Qian called and urged them to come back for dinner. Liu Junhao finally came to his senses, folded the loach into two large buckets, and carried it home.
"You dug so much in just a few hours?" Zhang Qian was also surprised when she saw the loach in the bucket.
"Auntie, you don't know" Xiao Jianhui and his brother rushed to talk about their legendary experiences.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Were in high spirits, and they couldn't feel comfortable eating at noon. After eating and resting for less than half an hour, I started to dig out loaches outside the courtyard wall.
In less than a day, Liu Junhao and the others dug through the entire puddle. More than 80 kilograms of loach were dug up. This amount is still far from what Wang Shengli requires, but it's no problem. With so many loaches at the bottom, Liu Junhao could secretly catch some from the stone locks to make up for his losses.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off the meal
Who knew that Zhang Hongbin wanted to eat steamed sweet potatoes? He said that after eating it once at his house last year, he still couldn't forget it.
Steamed sweet potatoesno problem! !
After the frost, Liu Junhao planed the sweet potatoes grown in the backyard and put them in the sweet potato well two days ago.
Use an iron fork to pierce a basin of sweet potatoes, wash them, put them in a steamer, and put them on the firewood for half an hour. After it wakes up and smells good, lift the lid of the pot, and the alluring fragrance of sweet potatoes will hit your nostrils.
"That's what it tastes like," Zhang Hongbin didn't care about the heat, stretched out his hand to grab one, turned his left and right hands for a moment, and then couldn't wait to put it into his mouth.
There is actually a trick to steaming sweet potatoes. The longer the steaming time, the better. The fiber of the sweet potatoes softens under high temperature and tastes so sweet that you can hardly find it on your tongue.
In the past, the same way was used to boil sugar syrup in rural areas. First, boil the sweet potatoes, then add barley malt and make a puree, then filter it with gauze, and finally put the sweet potato juice into the pot and slowly simmer it over high heat until it forms a straight line when scooped up by a spoon. alright.
After dinner, Liu Junhao made a phone call and asked Wang Shengli to come over tomorrow to pick up the loach.
Brother Zhang Qian originally planned to go back to the city in the afternoon, but he was busy until dark, so he had to stay in Liujiagou.
During the day, he was in high spirits while digging for loaches, but when he was lying in bed, he kept squealing. My waist aches and my back hurts. I dare not even touch the bed. I feel uncomfortable no matter how I lie down.
In desperation, he had to wake up Liu Junhao and let him massage himself.
Liu Junhao understands this situation. Many people who have never put in any effort suddenly overexert themselves and end up like this.this reaction.
There seemed to be half a bottle of safflower oil in his drawer. Liu Junhao found it and smeared it all over Brother Zhang Qian's spine and arms.
Digging hundreds of kilograms of loaches a day is indeed very hard, but when collecting the money, several people were so happy that they couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Nowadays, the price of loach is very high. Hundreds of catties of loach have been sold for more than 2,000 yuan.
Liu Junhao did not intend to keep the money in his own pocket, but divided it equally between the four of them, and Xiao Jianhui and his brothers did not hold back.
Brother Zhang Qian said he didn¡¯t want anything, so Liu Junhao couldn¡¯t bear it and stuffed the money into his pocket.
After the two brothers Jianhui collected the money, they were so excited that they wanted to dig out loaches.
Brother Zhang Qian over there also suggested that Liu Junhao go dig loaches when he has nothing to do, so that he can make a lot of money in a month.
Liu Junhao shook his head repeatedly and said that he had to take care of his two children at home and had no time at all.
There are loaches in the puddle outside the backyard, most likely because of the spring water. In addition, no one has dug in that area for several years, so it is so dense.
¡°There will definitely not be that much in other places. It is already considered a big deal to dig out three or four kilograms in half a day.
Liu Junhao hasn¡¯t seen that little money yet. (To be continued)
