Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 175: 175. Beat the roe deer with a stick and scoop the fish with a ladle

Views:

Song Tan has really broadened his horizons.

But she didn't refuse all of them. Instead, she asked, "If that person catches 10 or 8 kilograms of fish, you will make a profit, but won't I lose a lot?"

How is that possible

Zhang Yanping said confidently: "How many fish can there be in this pond? Hasn't it been cleaned for more than ten years?"

"Besides, there's a wild pond behind the mountain. If there were any fish, they would have been caught by my uncle long ago. I saw the new fishing rod he bought. It must have cost at least 800 yuan."

Song Tan quickly lowered his voice: "Shh!"

"Keep your voice down. My dad still doesn't dare to take it out. If my mom asks, just say eighty."

"So," Zhang Yanping said with a vicissitudes of life, "Men, once married, they don't even have the freedom to buy a fishing rod."

"You talk like you have a partner. Singles, stop complaining."

"As for whether there are any fish in my pond, you can check it out tomorrow morning when I take out the trap."

Zhang Yanping is full of confidence.

He heard from Song Sancheng that there were some crucian carp and other fish in the pond in the back mountain, and he caught a lot of them last winter.

But this pond...

If there really was one, why would my uncle, even after using the fishing rod, sit there for a long time without catching any fish

He kept thinking about this and decided to come as soon as he opened his eyes tomorrow morning.

But... night owl Zhang Yanping opened his eyes purely because he was woken up by the loud voice of a man outside. Now he looked at the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning!

However, during the time he spent in his hometown, he also discovered that the older he was, the earlier he woke up in the morning.

This young man really can't compare with him in this regard.

The houses in the village are not soundproof, and he covered his head in pain.

But seeing the noisy voices, he couldn't lie down any more, and finally he got up with his messy hair.

It was still foggy at six o'clock in the morning, and the air was damp and cool. There were still many sneaky gray-haired squirrels clinging on the wall. When they saw him come out, they squeaked in excitement, as if a giant panda had come out of the zoo.

Zhang Yanping: …

Before he could get angry and drive her away, Song Tan came out from behind him.

I saw a pickup truck parked outside the yard, and a skinny man was standing there moving things downstairs.

Although they both just woke up, their states of awakening were completely different. Zhang Yanping was still sleepy, but Song Tan had already walked up to him enthusiastically:

"Uncle, you come so early!"

It was just yesterday that we made an appointment to deliver the melon seedlings.

In the small shed in the yard, my seventh cousin had already started cooking a large pot of porridge, with finely chopped meat placed aside for later use, and in another pot he was frying thick pancakes.

There was also a hint of burnt aroma of pastries mixed in with the white mist.

The seventh cousin also laughed: "Come on, don't be in a hurry, sit down and have breakfast."

The other party was about to refuse, but Uncle Seven saw the oil in the pan was hot, and quickly stir-fried the minced meat with sliced ginger, chili peppers and minced garlic. The warm aroma filled his nose, and he immediately covered his stomach:

"Then... I'll be welcome then."

It is the instinct of farmers to save food. Song Tan looked at the fresh and vigorous watermelon seedlings in the truck bed and laughed: "Look at what you said, our breakfast is also simple, don't despise it."

The other party chuckled and said, "I was thinking, with so many seedlings, it would be better to send them earlier so that they can be planted earlier. The seedlings will be fresher and the sun won't be so strong."

"We got up in the early morning."

Of course not. These seedlings are so fresh and juicy that they must have been prepared this morning. What the boss said is not an exaggeration at all.

After all, it's not easy for anyone to make money.

Song Tan still remembers that when he was a child, it was popular in the village to grow fragrant solitary. Those who collected fragrant solitary would wait at the town’s trading market at three o’clock in the morning every day. Those who grew fragrant solitary would basically get up at twelve o’clock to pick the fragrant solitary.

Because the citron matures very quickly and ages very quickly, if you pick it the night before, it will open up and become old the next morning, so the price will be different.

The same is true for sending seedlings nowadays.

When the sun comes out and the dew disappears, the seedlings will easily wilt and their quality will be affected.

The watermelon seedlings are 3.5 cents each, but don't expect them to come with a seedling cup, as they are all pulled out directly with bare roots.

As he was talking, the seventh cousin said, "Tan Tan, call your parents and grandparents to come back for dinner. Dabao came back early in the morning barking, and they followed him out."

Song Tan's face turned serious: "Dabao is here?"

These dogs are loyal to their duty. They promised to look at a certain area and would not move away easily. Now they suddenly come back and bark -

She hurried out: "Uncle, drink some porridge first, I'll come back and settle the bill for you later."

Just as he finished speaking, a family of four came around the bamboo forest, each carrying a long ground trap, and their laughter was so loud that the whole village almost wanted to hear it.

"Tan Tan, what bait did you put out yesterday? Look at this trap, it can't hold any more!"

Isn’t it

On the two ground traps, which were about three meters long, there was no fish except for a stone stuffed at the end by Song Tan for convenience of placement, where a foam board was stuffed at the front.

The entire trap and all the entrances were packed with fish and shrimp.

Through the green net, one could see that there were not only loaches and eels, but also river shrimps and small fish… What was even more outrageous was that at the entrance of the trap that Song Sancheng and Wu Lan were carrying, there was a large blackfish shaking its head and tail stuck in the fist-sized hole.

Good job!

She has been in the village for all these years, and she has never seen a shrimp trap catch a black carp!

The couple found it difficult to lift the trap, so they put it on the ground. The fish inside were still jumping and snapping!

Especially the big black fish, which rolled over with great force and fell on the concrete floor with a loud bang. If its tail hit someone, it would be like a huge punch in the face!

The uncle who had just sat down to sell melon seedlings jumped in surprise:

"Are your fish so bad?!"

This is a ground cage, not an electric fence!

Zhang Yanping also rushed over, his face grim at this moment: "My new business..."

What else is there to say? It's obviously a failure.

Even the trap can't fit in, what kind of pond is this? This is clearly a lovely grass pond!

Hit the roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle, the pheasant flies into the rice pot - forget it, the pheasant, don't fly away, he is in the second grade of junior high school, he can't compare with him.

In short, if you hire someone to fish and bring back 30 to 50 kilograms of fish a day...it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, but Tan Tan will definitely lose a lot!

The business collapsed halfway through, and that’s what I’m talking about…

Song Tan was also speechless.

Why are these fish so greedy

It's a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and no one has taken care of the pond for many years. People have lived freely there for so many years, they would risk their lives to see a little spiritual energy!

This guy is too shortsighted, just eat it!

Instead, she happily brought a large basin over and said, "Seventh cousin, do you want to have fish for lunch?"

Uncle Seven hurriedly took the minced meat and pickled vegetables out of the pot and rushed over: "Let me see, let me see!"
