"Uncle Six, these are the secrets of the family's rise, and everything is kept secret." Wang Shouzhe temporarily gave up his plan to popularize Luya with him, and said solemnly.

"I understand. I will be extra careful when doing all this, and I will ask the family to assign two family generals to me." Wang Dinghai was so excited that he trembled all over. "Besides, I have some ideas about the kite. You can use the net to Quickly modify and move the kite out, let's try the effect first. If it is possible... "

His eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to experiment.

From Dingpu Ferry to Luanshitan is Wang's territory, ordinary people will not and dare not approach the river bank. After all, the banks of the river are undeveloped, they have been simply cleared, and there are various inadvertent dangers.

Moreover, the river section is winding and winding, and there are many remote and hidden places. After being inspired by Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dinghai, who is familiar with the fishing industry, has burst out many plans and ideas.

After obtaining Wang Shouzhe's consent, Wang Dinghai drove the boat all the way to a hidden small pier in the river section. Every small pier here is a secret small stronghold, which can be used for multiple purposes. There are three caves in the cunning rabbit, let alone Wang Dinghai. His fishing fleet.

There is also a hidden wooden cabin next to the small pier, which is a place to rest when avoiding wind and waves. Wang Dinghai placed Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui in this shabby place, and after leaving the king dog to serve them, he left in a hurry.

"It's the first time I've seen Uncle Six being so busy." Gongsun Hui said with emotion, "It seems that the fishing ideas you provided, Zhe'er, will be very effective."

"It's all from ancient books. It's not accurate without actual combat. I hope it will be useful to the family." Wang Shouzhe smiled lightly, and then said to Wang Goudan, "Goudan, can you grill fish?"

"Yes." Wang Goudan nodded cleverly, "Family, Patriarch, I'm going to grill the fish right now." After finishing speaking, he ran out quickly.

When only Gongsunhui and Wang Shouzhe were left, Gongsunhui looked at Wang Shouzhe carefully, until he felt a little scared in his heart, and then sighed with emotion: "Zhe'er, you have changed, you have become unrestrained and confident. In the past, you only knew how to cultivate desperately with heavy burdens on your shoulders, and didn't care about the rest. If it weren't for the aunt who watched you grow up, I would really suspect that you had been swapped."

"Ma'am, you're joking. I used to be supported by my father, so I can naturally ignore everything." Wang Shouzhe sighed calmly and said, "But now that my father has passed away, the family situation has become so bad. If I don't cheer up Wang Shouzhe Where is Shi going? Auntie, let’s not talk about this, you have been exhausted all the way, take a rest first, and look forward to Liu Shu’s surprise later.”

Wang Shouzhe took control of the situation, took the initiative to end the topic, and took the lead to rest with his eyes closed.

Half an hour later, Wang Goudan brought back a few golden grilled fish, which smelled delicious. Wang Shouzhe took out two big coppers and threw them: "My reward, I'll wait outside."

"Thank you, Patriarch, thank you, Patriarch." Wang Goudan ran out happily.

The grilled fish and Gongsun Hui shared and ate it. Although the craftsmanship of the dog egg was ordinary, it was sprinkled with a little coarse salt, but the ingredients were fresh and high-quality.

It was also the first time for Gongsun Hui to eat such rough food, her beautiful eyes twinkled after a few mouthfuls, as if it was very palatable.

After eating a few grilled fish, Wang Dinghai shouted excitedly from outside: "Shouzhe, fifth sister-in-law, come out and have a look."

Wang Shouzhe and the two came out after hearing the sound, and when they arrived at the small pier, they saw that Wang Dinghai had already set up a simple moving kite as planned. Good guy, Wang Shouzhe's brows twitched when he saw that carrying the kite. The four poles were all round logs the thickness of an arm, and the main pole was even thicker than a thigh.

This thing is too bulky, probably weighs two to three hundred catties, and people on earth must not be able to handle it.

I saw Wang Dinghai standing on the wooden pier, only with his waist and horse together, he pulled the cable with a little force, and he easily pried the cumbersome kite out of the water.

Hehe, I forgot that guy is a basalt practitioner at the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm, and his strength is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary earthlings.

"Boom!"

A big fish was caught in the zither net. The big fish blasted the water suddenly but was blocked by the net. slaughter. In addition, there are several small fish weighing one to two or three catties lying quietly beside it.

"it is good!"

The fishermen around were applauding excitedly, using a simple copying pole to quickly copy the catch. Although it was a worthless red carp, it could be sold for dozens of dimes at a weight of six or seven catties, and it also proved the effect of carrying the kite.

Later, under Wang Shouzhe's personal guidance, Wang Dinghai further improved the moving zither, installing inverted rods, counterweights and other things.

The principle is very simple, it is a seesaw on the earth. However, this seesaw is a triangle, and the two ends are connected by cables. A suitable counterweight is arranged on the other end of the seesaw. As long as a slight pressure is applied, the kite and the net at the other end can be lifted out of the water in the form of a seesaw.

It took another two hours to do this, and it was already dark before all the tossing was done, but the enthusiasm of the big guys was very high. It only takes half a stick of incense time to lift the net once, and it doesn't take much effort.

Of course, it is impossible to avoid empty nets. However, it was already dark at this point, and many fish began to sneak up to the shore in the dark, looking for food along the shore, and the food on the shore was far more than that in the center of the big river.

"Boom!" "Wow!"

After a few empty nets, there will always be a pop and catch a big fish or something. Occasionally, there will be two or three in one net. This excited those fishermen and Wang Dinghai.

"Shouzhe, you got rich, you got rich." Holding a torch, Wang Dinghai reported ecstatically, "Just now, 30 nets were set up in an hour, and five were caught, and nine big ones were caught, and the small and medium-sized fish caught nothing.

In just one hour, more than a hundred catties of fish were caught, with a total value of about ten large coppers. "

Such a terrible harvest made Wang Shouzhe a little confused. After all, it is the Xuanwu world, and the resources are much better than the earth. However, Wang Dinghai also said later that it is the peak fish season, and night is the best time for fishing, so it is reasonable to have this harvest.

"This thing is much more powerful than casting a net." Wang Dinghai said excitedly, "There are quite a lot of catches by casting a net, but a fisherman with plenty of physical strength can cast a hundred nets at most in a day and is exhausted. But this kind of The new tools don’t require too much physical strength or skill, and two fishermen can be arranged to work in shifts at 12 o’clock, and it’s also relatively safe, after all, the banks of the river are much less dangerous than going to the center of the river.”

"That's right, but you've overlooked one advantage, that is, reproducibility." Wang Shouzhe said in a good mood, "Sixth uncle, you can find some skilled craftsmen from the family tomorrow to carve this simple thing, and then Let’s gradually roll it out and take advantage of this year’s fish season to make more money.”

"The most important thing is to keep it secret." Gongsun Hui added from the side, "Sixth Uncle, you can't expand your manpower blindly. Try to find some reliable helpers from collateral clans."

Everyone, I added every word I said.

Suddenly!

"Boom" there was a huge sound of water blasting.

Wang Goudan roared over there: "Master Hai, come quickly, come quickly."

The three of them looked together, and saw a huge snake-shaped monster entangled in the zither. Its explosive power was extremely fierce. In the water, it was still struggling frantically in the net bag, and the whole bracket shook violently.

"It's the red-scaled eel!" Wang Dinghai's face showed ecstasy, but in a blink of an eye his face changed suddenly, "No, it's going to break through the net."

The red-scaled eel's sharp teeth bit the mesh, its body twisted wildly, and instantly tore a big hole in the fishing net, and it twisted along the hole to squeeze out.

Without saying a word, Wang Dinghai jumped into the water and swam towards the fishing net at an extremely fast speed. Just when the red scale eel was about to get out of trouble, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed its neck. With his right hand, he pulled out the stinger from the waist, pierced it hard into its head, and stirred it from side to side.

But even so, the red-scaled eel still entangled him and stirred desperately. Obviously, its vitality was extremely strong, and it took another full stick of incense before the thing died.

Wang Dinghai dragged it ashore and spread it on the simple pier. The body of the thing was more than two feet long, thicker than a thigh at the beginning, and covered with red scales.

"The first-order aquatic beast, red-scaled eel, Uncle Six, this one should be an adult red-scaled eel, must it weigh a hundred catties?" Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui also watched curiously.

"Hahaha, more than that, this one weighs at least one hundred and fifty catties, and is worth at least thirty or fifty thousand gold." Wang Dinghai sat down on the ground panting, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "If this monster is let down Your sixth uncle may not be able to handle it after drinking water. But this red-scaled eel is full of treasures, Patriarch, today is all thanks to your blessing, hahaha~ I will show it off at Dingpu Ferry tomorrow."
