It's strange that the more crooked the chant is, the more energetic the work becomes.
This was often the case when the fishing team at Yanwo Island Farm was fishing in winter.
The work at that time was much harder than it is now.
Seeing that everyone was tired from pulling the net, the words shouted by the person who took the number changed: "Whose son is so-and-so?"
The rope puller, who was already a little staggering, became more energetic when he heard that he was going to be a father, and immediately responded: "Everyone's son!"
It becomes even harder when dragging the fishing net.
Next, "Whose grandson is so-and-so?"
"Everyone's grandson!"
The person who took the call had a louder voice.
"So-and-so's head..."
"It's so green!"
The following words are not suitable for people over the age of eighteen, and the loud shouts shook the sky.
Of course, the "so-and-so" being called must be someone from the farm, and he must not be at the scene. Moreover, he is usually someone whom most people hate and who usually have nothing to do with him.
It was also through this chant that I vented my inner grievances.
Anyway, no matter how dirty it is, there are cases where even the eighteenth generation of someone’s ancestors have greeted him.
In difficult days, this is also a rare moment of joy.
Of course, Lu Lu, as the leader today, called out the names of several people, and they were all present. Everyone was also measured. It was just a joke, a bit of fun, and it also enhanced mutual affection.
You’re not one of our own, so why don’t you shout like that!
Setting up the net can be said to be the most exciting moment of winter fishing.
Amidst the high-pitched chants of several people, the pulled fishing net slid out bit by bit along the larger opening of the net, like a conveyor belt running on the ice.
In an instant, along with the steaming water vapor, countless fat-headed fish, grass carp, silver carp, aohua... were continuously transported out from under the ice, rolling and jumping on the ice, their silver scales shining in the sun, which was really gratifying.
.
A bird's-eye view from a high altitude, with fish leaping over the ice, forms a beautiful picture in the ice and snow.
This is a scene rarely seen in the land of China and other places outside the wilderness.
The location Lu Lu chose was excellent, and the catch was certainly quite good.
When the 100-meter-long fishing net was completely dragged out, several people's clothes were soaked and they were sweating, but they were all busy looking back to see the first fish caught in the net.
It was a squid weighing at least ten kilograms.
The Zello fish is a very large fish species. The average individual weighs about three kilograms, and the largest ones can reach fifty kilograms, with a length of more than one meter. One has even been found to be four meters long and weighing ninety kilograms.
This thing is a glutton and one of the most ferocious species of freshwater fish. It swims very fast and is good at preying on other small fish. Even if it is frozen in winter and many fish have stopped eating, it is still hunting.
As the first fish out of the ice, Zheluo weighed ten kilograms, and everyone was overjoyed.
The first fish out of the water is such a good fortune that I can’t help but reach out to touch Zheluo, who is still jumping around, hoping to get some luck from having fish every year.
The further back you look, the brighter it becomes.
In addition to the common fish, there are all kinds of fish, including turtles, frogs, salmon, and even catfish.
This net contains large and small items, weighing at least more than three hundred kilograms.
Several people did not hesitate to strike while the iron was hot, put the net on the ice, and then went to pick up the net set by Raymond's leader.
It is conceivable that the harvest from this network is also quite impressive.
Then they discovered that they didn't seem to have much time to have lunch.
After removing the fish that were quickly frozen on the ice from the fishing nets, putting them in sacks to the car, and then putting down the two nets, more than two hours had passed, and
The two nets set up at the back have also reached the time to set up the nets early.
I have no choice, I want to eat fish but I don’t have time.
A few people hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, returned to the ice, continued to raise the net, move the fish, and then lowered the net.
By the time things were finished, it was already approaching evening.
"There is nothing we can do. The four fishing nets we have set up will have to be set up tomorrow morning."
After a busy day, everyone was exhausted. The harvest was gratifying, but the physical exertion and the cold they endured were even more painful than hunting.
"During the night vigil, remember to take turns to go there and tap the ice on the ice holes in and out of the net at any time. It can be refrozen overnight, but it will be difficult to dig out tomorrow."
Finally he could rest. In the evening, Lu Lu made a pot of delicious fish and had a delicious meal.
After yesterday's fishing, I originally thought that when I set up the four nets in the morning, the harvest would be far less than yesterday.
As a result, when the net was set up, it was discovered that more fish seemed to have come to this area that night, and the catch was no worse than any net caught yesterday, or even more. However, the fishing net was broken.
After visiting many places, it seems that many big fish have escaped.
After a busy morning, there were more than a thousand kilograms of fish.
This made Meng Zhaohua extremely happy.
The fish obtained, such as grass carp, carp, etc., are regarded as miscellaneous fish and are put directly into bags without picking. However, other good fish, especially salmon, turtle, salmon, toad, etc., are
They were packed into bags by category and put into the car bag by bag.
In order to carry these fish, I even went to the city to buy bags.
If the car hadn't been equipped with sledges, horses, dogs and people, it would have been so crowded that many people would have chosen a few other places to hunt for a few more days.
After lunch, a few people got in the car and started on their way home.
We camped next to Wudalianchi in the evening and continued on the road the next day. As evening approached, the group finally returned to the area and the car parked directly in front of Tian Youcheng's restaurant.
Several people jumped out of the car and looked at the business in the restaurant, which seemed to be much better than in previous years.
Three cars stopped at the door. There was a lot of movement, and Tian Youcheng ran out quickly.
As soon as he saw the unkempt appearance of Lu Lu and others, he knew that they were back from hunting again.
He greeted a few people with a smile and asked, "Brother, what good things are there this time?"
Lu Lu pointed at the car driven by Meng Zhaohua: "Go and see for yourself!"
Tian Youcheng immediately trotted over and saw that the car was filled with all kinds of pockets: "You can't see this?"
"There are three kinds of flowers, turtles, salmons, fine-scaled fish, forest frogs, etc.!" Lu Lu introduced briefly.
"They are all good fish. Are you going fishing?"
Tian Youcheng was very heroic: "I want all these good fish, two yuan and a half a pound, how about it?"
"Is this an honest price?" Lu Lu stared at him and asked with a smile.
"Brother, what you said is that when we first interacted with each other, I had a long memory. I can't play tricks on you, right? It must be an honest price. This price is already very high, the price in the city!"
Tian Youcheng is much fatter than before, and his chin has wrinkles. When he smiles, he looks very festive.
Lu Lu narrowed his eyes at him and finally nodded.
The fish weighing nearly 2,000 kilograms and nearly 3,000 kilograms actually contains salmon, salmon, soft-shelled turtle, forest frog and other fish, accounting for less than a quarter, which is about five to six hundred kilograms.
When you catch a fish, no matter it is a miscellaneous fish or a precious fish, you have to keep some of it home. After letting several people choose some to keep, Lu Lu then divided the several good fish into packages and asked Tian Youcheng to find someone to weigh them.
Tian Youcheng also selected some fish, including fish.
Good guy, when the time comes to settle the accounts, it will be one thousand four hundred and seventy-eight yuan.
Calculated in this way, it was actually not much. Lu Lu calculated it on the spot and divided it equally among the nine people. Each person got 164 yuan. Lu Lu also gave the three drivers 100 yuan each and ran towards Jiagedaqi.
The hard-earned money for this trip was also given to me.
Of course, they wanted to take some of the remaining fish back in the car with them to eat. Lu Lu and others took the rest back to the village, either to keep it to eat or to give to the people in the farm or village.
Anything is fine, especially at Lu Lu’s place. Whether it’s a dog, a lynx or a crane, these things are indispensable.
Then, Lu Lu looked at Tian Youcheng: "There are also some bear paws, bear meat, red deer meat, gray dog meat and rabbit meat in the car... Do you want these things?"
"Yes, of course!"
Tian Youcheng's restaurant lacks these good things.
As a result, when he took out the meat, Tian Youcheng was a little dumbfounded. The bear paws alone cost two or three sacks. The price of these bear paws is not low, plus the bear meat, greyhound, jumping cat, and red deer.
After weighing and adding up the meat, it turned out to be more than a thousand yuan.
As for the flying dragons they shot, the brothers have already agreed to leave some for Zhang Shaofeng to give as gifts, and the rest will be divided among them. As for what they plan to do with them after they are divided, it depends on them.
Therefore, when Tian Youcheng asked if there was a flying dragon, several people shook their heads in tacit understanding.
Everyone knows that once they say yes, they will inevitably be pestered by Tian Youcheng for a while.
After getting the money and dividing it, Lu Lu calculated the money he had and found that it was more than one thousand. He immediately took out eight hundred and fifty and handed it to Raymond: "I gave the two tiger cubs to the zoo and got a thousand yuan. I also gave them back."
I haven’t taken it out to share, brother, you can share the money with them, I’ve already kept my own.”
It only costs more than 160 yuan per person.
He calculated the accounts clearly.
When the meat was finished, Tian Youcheng took Lu Lu and walked into the restaurant: "You brought me so many good things today, I'll treat you all to a drink."
Lu Lu smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for your words."
"Brother, when winter comes next year, you have to leave some wild geese for me." Tian Youcheng said eagerly.
Dayan is a very popular dish in the restaurant. The price is not high. Many people like this dish. But now, he has to find ways to buy it from Wu Wangang at a higher price. How much does this cost him?
It feels a little uncomfortable, knowing that the real owner of the wild goose is right in front of me.
"Let's discuss this matter next year." Lu Lu could only give a vague answer.
Seeing that Lu Lu did not fully agree, Tian Youcheng quickly added: "During this period, the price of wild geese has risen sharply. They have been sold for almost seven yuan each."
Seven dollars?
Hearing this price, not only Zhang Shaofeng and others, but also Lu Lu were surprised.
Selling wild geese during the icy and snowy season can be said to be a unique business. Lu Lu thought that the price might rise a little, but he didn't expect that the price had already risen so much.
If you calculate it this way, Wu Wangang and his wife can make a lot of money from these wild geese just this winter.
Lu Lu couldn't help but look back at Meng Zhaohua: "Hua Zi, why have I never seen you mention this?"
Every time he sends wild geese, it's Meng Zhaohua who does it. There's no way he doesn't know about it at all.
"Brother Lu, I forgot, this price only started to rise after you entered the mountains. Wu Wangang told the news that there are fewer and fewer wild geese here, and many restaurants started to rush to grab it.
One company's prices were higher than the other's, and that's how it is now.
However, Wu Wangang himself has already said this. If he sells a pound, he will only make a dime, and he will return all the extra money. He also said that if you can help him when you take the initiative to come to him at the beginning, you will be able to support him.
It’s a great favor to him. He hopes to continue doing this business with you next year! The price he pays for each geese sold later is calculated based on the final selling price, minus 10 cents per catty.
Sister-in-law Xue, Lin Yujuan and Xiuyu all know this matter."
Meng Zhaohua's words made Lu Lu stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wangang could still have such an awareness.
Of course, Lu Lu also knew that Wu Wangang just wanted to make the business last longer, and was greedy for high profits in the short term. It might not be his turn next year. He was shrewd, but also honest to himself.
"A very interesting person!"
Lu Lu smiled at Zhang Shaofeng and said, "This kind of person is not bad!"
"In this case, we can give him more profits in the coming year!" Raymond suggested: "Or wait until it is sold out and subsidize him some extra hard work."
Zhang Shaofeng and others also nodded in agreement.
Tian Youcheng, who was on the side, felt his face tremble when he heard it. He originally wanted to stimulate this business, but as a result, the relationship seemed to be tied more firmly. It seems that he will not have this opportunity next year!
He really felt like he shot himself in the foot.
However, every year they catch the hunt, these hunters are so capable, and he can make a lot of money from just the fish meat.
