Chapter 11 Catching the Eel
crackle crackle crackle crackle...
Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers sounded from the courtyard of Lin Chen's house. Today is the day when their family started to build a greenhouse. According to their custom here, firecrackers must be set off before starting work.
The greenhouse with four acres of land is not a small project. It is definitely indispensable to set off firecrackers. This is called offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods. For the sake of stability and smoothness in the future, Lin's father also bought a firecracker with 10,000 bangs from the canteen in the village.
If it was before, he would definitely be reluctant to buy such a big firecracker, but now, it doesn't matter, he has money, he just received more than 90,000 yuan yesterday, and it is only a few dollars for a firecracker with 10,000 sounds.
The firecrackers burned out, and Uncle Sangen began to work with his workers. Uncle Sangen is a foreman specializing in construction in Linjia Village. Anyone who builds a house or something looks for him, and a group of people follow him to work and eat.
Relatively speaking, Uncle Sangen is still the wealthiest group of people in Linjia Village.
As for how to build, there is no need for Lin Chen and his father and son to worry about it. Uncle Sangen has experience. Before he did not come out alone as a foreman, he used to build many greenhouses in the south, not to mention the simple greenhouses of Lin Chen's family, which are more complicated. He can build some greenhouses.
Why do you want to find him, not only because of his experience, but also because of his meticulous work and good quality of work.
Lin Chen didn't need Lin Chen to build the greenhouse. It was enough to have Lin's father watching, while he walked out of the house and ran towards the river behind the village.
Wang Wang Wang.
As soon as Lin Chen set off, there was the eager barking of puppies behind him, and six yellow-black puppies rushed towards him eagerly with their short legs.
Six puppies, three yellow and three black, all just full moons, and each one is plump and cute.
"I'm going, how can I forget these little ancestors." Looking at the puppy that was running towards him eagerly, Lin Chen patted his head, his face full of helplessness.
These six puppies were brought back from Uncle Hai's house three days ago. Uncle Hai's rhubarb gave birth to a total of six puppies, and Lin Chenquan brought them back. But he didn't ask for it in vain, but gave Uncle Hai's family three 10-pound hares and three pheasants.
Puppies are worthless in the countryside. Even if Lin Chen doesn't take them away, Uncle Hai will give them away. It is enough to have a watchdog at home, but it is impossible to raise any more.
Don't look at how little these puppies eat when they are young, but once they grow up, they will eat no less than an adult man. That is to say, if these six puppies are not given away, wait for them to grow up Now, Uncle Hai's family is equivalent to six more adult men who don't work and only eat.
With Uncle Hai's family background, it must be unaffordable. It happened that Lin Chen wanted it, so it would be better to give it to Lin Chen all at once.
At first, Uncle Hai did not accept the pheasants and hares sent by Lin Chen, but Lin Chen said that if he did not accept them, he would not want the puppy either. In the end, it was Father Lin who came forward and Uncle Hai accepted those hares. and pheasants.
Lin Chen has a purpose in raising dogs. Don't forget that there are ten bags of special dog food he signed in to the system. According to the system's explanation, these dog food can improve the dog's IQ, strengthen the dog's body, and make the dog change. wiser and stronger.
His purpose is to raise these dogs and become his helpers, and another purpose is to let these dogs help in the care of the home, and the most important thing is to watch their greenhouses.
Don't look at their house building a greenhouse now, it's fine, but once their greenhouse vegetables start to sell for money in two months, it will definitely make some people in the village jealous. Insidious tricks, Lin Chen keeps dogs to guard against those people.
Don't think it's impossible, this kind of person, whether in the city or in the countryside, they just don't think others are better than him, if others live better than him,
He messes with people everywhere.
Lin Chen remembers very clearly. In the past two years, someone in the village wrapped the pond to raise fish. As a result, the fish should be harvested and sold for money. Someone in the village poisoned the fish pond at night. Overnight, tens of thousands of catties of fish died. , the results of a year of hard work were all ruined overnight.
The couple who raised fish were going crazy. They worked hard for a year and invested tens of thousands of dollars in it. As a result, they were all destroyed overnight. The police were called, but what if the police came, the fish pond was not monitored, and it was impossible to find out who did it with just a few pesticide bottles, and the result was nothing.
Since then, no one has ever contracted the fish ponds in the village. Originally, there were people who wanted to contract other fish ponds in the village, but when they saw this situation, they dared not.
There are also reasons why Linjia Village has not developed for so many years. On the one hand, the village cadres are not decisive and strong enough. To put it bluntly, they are not majestic enough and cannot control the situation. Make trouble, you can't do anything you want. But in Lin Chen's view, it was still the inaction of the village cadres.
Therefore, in order not to waste the tens of thousands of dollars he invested, Lin Chen must have taken precautions in advance.
Wang Wang Wang.
The six puppies ran up to Lin Chen, wagging their short short tails, jumping happily, constantly moving between Lin Chen's legs, and the puppies bit him with their mouths Pants.
"Come on, sit down." Lin Chen began to instruct these puppies to sit in a row.
Don't say, the dog food produced by the system is awesome. Even if Lin Chen only fed these puppies for a few days, these six puppies can now understand some simple commands.
Let sit in a row, and immediately sat in a row, each tail kept stroking on the ground like a broom, Mengmeng's big eyes watched Lin Chen's every move, as if waiting for his next order.
"Okay, very good, yes, this is a reward for you." Lin Chen took out a handful of dog food from the system and sprinkled it in front of the dogs.
As soon as they smelled the dog food, the six puppies seemed to be crazy and started to fight happily.
Looking at the six puppies happily fighting for dog food, Lin Chen quickly walked out of the yard, closed the yard door, and walked towards the river.
In the past few days, he stopped going into the mountains to catch pheasants and hares because of the construction of a greenhouse at home. He also told Li Changjiang yesterday to let them come back in seven days, because the greenhouse at home can be built in only five days, and the remaining two days are Time for him to catch rabbits and pheasants.
Some things, Lin Chen didn't want to let the villagers know too early.
He went to the small river today to see if he could catch some fish and eel. During this time, their family was either rabbit or chicken. Lin Chen was a little tired, and he wanted to eat eel and fish.
Stir fry the eel, and the taste is simply unparalleled. Besides, the man doesn't like to eat eel, and the eel is a great supplement.
Coming to the small river, looking at the clear water, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, wondering if the river here will be as clear as it is now in twenty years.
Now he doesn't care about that, he's here to catch the eel. Originally, I wanted to go to the paddy field to catch the eel, but the eel has been caught several times by the adults and children in the village, and even if there is one, it is difficult to find.
If you can't afford pork and other meat, is it possible that you can't eat eel while guarding your own paddy fields?
Most of the adults in the village catch eels to improve their own lives and to satisfy their children's cravings. His parents once did the same, catching eels for their brothers and sisters to eat.
To be honest, it is very difficult to catch eels in the river, but who is Lin Chen? He has prepared special bait. This kind of bait is super attractive to fish and aquatic creatures. Lin Chen is not afraid at all. I can't catch an eel myself.
Coming to a corner where the water flow hit, Lin Chen put down the bamboo basket on his back and began to pick up stones to make a trap.
He wanted to surround a circle with stones by the water, leave a hole, and then sprinkle specially prepared feed in this circle to lure the eels into the trap through the reserved hole.
Soon, Lin Chen made the trap. He took out the bait that had been prepared long ago from the bamboo basket, grabbed a few handfuls and threw it in. Then he just ignored it and waited for the fish and eel to take the bait.
Lin Chen is not afraid that those eels will not come, this kind of bait is super attractive to fish and eels.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Before waiting for a few minutes, Lin Chen saw splashes appearing on the water surface. It was a fish swinging its tail in the water. Looking at the movement, the fish was not small.
One by one, splashes kept appearing on the water surface. Through the clear river water, Lin Chen could clearly see the situation on the bottom of the water. Fish and eels were swimming quickly on the bottom of the water. The direction they were heading was Lin Chensa. Feed that trap.
There are not only fish and eels, but also loach, shrimp and other creatures. It seems that the fragrance of the bait starts to work.
It is also fortunate that Lin Chen left the gap relatively large, otherwise the gap would be too small, so many fish and eels, loach or something would not be able to get in.
Wow, Lin Chen saw a black fish that could weigh six or seven catties frantically grabbing bait to eat in the trap he set up. Looking closely, there were more than one black fish here.
Looking at the densely packed fish and eels in the pit, Lin Chen knew that it was enough, and his bamboo basket couldn't hold any more.
Slam, Lin Chen blocked the gap with the grass weaved in advance, and pressed it with a stone to prevent the big fish from knocking the grass open, then picked up the net and started to catch it quickly.
His goal was those eels first, and a net full of eels went down the net, and he picked up eels that could weigh about ten pounds, and the net was full of yellow eels all over his body.
Wow, pour the net eel into the bamboo basket, and Lin Chen continues to fish.
The eels that can enter the trap are all the big eels. The small eels can't grab those big eels, so they can't get into the trap. Sometimes the small ones have the advantage of being small, at least they don't have to worry about being caught. .
One after another, he used a net to fish the eel into the bamboo basket. Lin Chen felt a sense of relief. This could be regarded as making up for the lost childhood regret of the earth in his previous life.
Going up a tree to dig out bird eggs and going down a river to fish for shrimp is something every boy has to experience in his childhood.
