My seventh cousin came over and also looked a little worried.
What I mean is, I have never seen a trap so packed full in my life!
Put the things in the trap in front, untie the rope, pull it down and all the things will come out.
But it’s like this, how can I lift it
It's hard to lift it.
Song Sancheng looked around and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He even took out his phone and said, "Yan Ping, how do I post a video on WeChat Moments? Come on, help me take a video."
As he said this, he squatted in front of the trap, and did not forget to instruct: "Just say that you have nothing to do, and show off this morning's harvest."
What a Spring and Autumn style of writing!
If people in the fishing bar saw Tan Tan's abilities being grafted onto himself, they would drool for miles!
Zhang Yanping secretly gave his uncle a thumbs up.
Song Tan took a look and then felt relieved:
"When Dabao came over to call this morning, did he discover this trap?"
"That's right!" Song Sancheng was watching Zhang Yanping posting on WeChat Moments without even looking up:
"Dabao barked at us early in the morning, and we thought something had happened. But when we went over to take a look, we saw something strange! Fortunately, you tied it with a rock, and the rock was almost pulled into the water. If it was a little later, the trap would have to be fished out in the pond."
After thinking for a while, he said cheerfully: "Dabao is really a good dog. Let's give it an extra egg this morning."
"Don't do it this morning," Uncle Seven pointed at the things in the trap, "Give them all these little minnows and wheat ears to eat."
This kind of fish naturally doesn't grow big, it lives in groups, and you don't feel bad about catching a lot of it. Now that my seventh cousin wants to feed it to the dog, no one is reluctant to give it up.
Wu Lan and Wang Lifen washed their hands and saw the group of people still circling around the traps. They urged them, "Hurry up and have breakfast. We still have to pick tea later. It won't kill the fish if we wait a little longer!"
Men, if you don’t know how to count, how can fish be compared to tea
Nowadays, the rice porridge is cooked hot, the leavened bread is crispy and tempting, and the minced meat, pickled vegetables and fried eggs with peppers are even more delicious.
Even though the group of old men were reluctant to leave the trap, it did not stop them from gulping down two large bowls.
Song Tan didn't eat much as usual, so he put down his bowl and paid the uncle the balance for the watermelon seedlings.
Logically speaking, it looks like it's going to be busy now, so the uncle should leave.
But he kept his eyes on the two traps, hesitating and not moving for a long time.
Song Tan couldn't help but look at the new fishing rod in the corner that he bought for 890 yuan and was quoted at 80 yuan:
—Men.
Looking at the time, everyone who is going to work should be here in half an hour. Villagers are not punctual, so they will definitely come early. Song Tan quickly gave instructions:
"Hurry up and get this fish out. We'll have to go up the mountain again soon."
Uncle Seven waved his hand and said, "Aren't there two people helping me today? Go and do your own things. I'll take care of the fish."
At the same time, he called Grandma Qi: "Call Qiao Qiao back."
Song Tan was puzzled: "What did he do so early in the morning?"
Uncle Seven laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't stop: "When I came this morning, I mentioned that there was a Chinese toon tree on the roadside that had sprouted and could be used to fry eggs. The child ate two pieces of cake and then went to pick some Chinese toon."
Toon
Song Tan wondered: "Are there any Chinese toon sprouts now? Hope they are all old."
In the early spring, people were busy growing wild vegetables. The growth of the Chinese toon in their village was uneven, and there were only a few trees, so she didn't consider it.
Uncle Seven pointed to a small hill in the distance and said, "There is a small tree right there on a high ground. The wind is cold, so the Chinese toon buds grow slowly."
Song Tan understood that this was the reason why the saying "the flowers on earth fade away in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom" was true.
"That's what I was thinking. Why didn't I see him when I was watching the fish today?"
As for whether the child has had a proper breakfast... Oh! There is no need to be so particular. As long as he is full and doesn't feel hungry, that's fine.
Besides, if I follow my seventh cousin, how could I ever go without food
Sure enough, when everyone was busy taking out the fish from the ground traps, the villagers who came to work had already arrived one after another.
Everyone gathered around the trap to take a look and marvel at it. Song Sancheng received a lot of likes on his circle of friends.
This morning, he reached the pinnacle of fishermanship. Even though he didn't fish with a fishing rod himself, casting a trap is also a skill. It makes no difference.
Unfortunately, he couldn't collect the fish himself because he had to arrange people to plant the watermelon seedlings on the mountain.
So he had to take the hoe and leave reluctantly.
The uncle who delivered the melon seedlings hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but approach Song Tan again:
"Girl, can you let outsiders fish in your own pond?"
Song Tan's heart moved.
After seeing off the uncle who was also reluctant to leave, Song Tan went to discuss it with his seventh cousin, and then called Zhang Yanping, whose business was cut off:
"Brother Yanping, you can also post the photos of this fish today on your fishing forum. Just as you said, let ten people come to fish in the two ponds every day. It's free, and you get what you catch."
Zhang Yanping was puzzled: "Just look at the harvest in this trap. You only get what you catch. You are losing a lot!"
"That's not how we build our reputation. What you sell now can be based on your own customer base. There's no need to fish for old money."
In fact, it is still necessary. Most of the people who buy vegetables are middle-aged women. Do middle-aged women have money? Yes.
Are you willing to spend money? Yes, but you have to have a tourist atmosphere.
It’s difficult to spend money in your hometown.
But she has a lot of good things at home, such as tea and honey. As for whether she spends money lavishly, it depends on the man.
Song Tan shook his head: "I have discussed with my seventh cousin. One lunch box is free, and the next meal is 40. You and Qiao Qiao will be responsible for delivering meals three times a day."
This refill was very cunning. It was free for people to try first, and as for the refill... She didn't believe that someone would only eat one bowl of her own food.
"I have 10 yuan as capital, you can share the 30 yuan."
"But there is one thing, the one who catches the least fish before 5 o'clock will be responsible for pulling grass on my mountain for the whole day."
Don't be afraid of slacking off, because if you slack off you won't come back next time.
Because she only released spiritual energy and did not take any other measures, the grass on the mountain grew so fast that it was knee-deep if you were not careful.
This was the result of Song Tan's deliberate indulgence. She wanted to hire villagers to help pull weeds and give these elderly people a chance to generate income at home.
They will also be needed in the later stage of picking and packing fruits and vegetables. For myself, it can save some energy and be more low-key.
For them, having something to do and working regularly to be in contact with spiritual energy will also make them healthier.
Kill two birds with one stone.
This was also what I had initially discussed with Zhu Jun during my previous chat.
But nowadays, family farms are just starting out and the mountains have just been cultivated, so there isn’t much grass.
But after a while, that may not be the case.
