The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 13 The First Trial of Fishing and Hunting

The experience of rowing is still available immediately, with Zhao Youfang's reminder.

Li Shengli put the two paddle boards flat on the water surface, and cooperated with Zhao Youfang's movements to maintain the balance of the boat well.

With the shaking of the boat, the dizziness just now is slowly dissipating. Brother Tong's experience is still useful, but he needs to get used to it.

But in terms of strength, Li Shengli needs to train himself.

While keeping the boat balanced, he was also thinking that it would be great if Brother Tong could reward a King Kong body that is not bad.

"Uncle, you are amazing, there is really a big fish, more than two feet long!"

With the shaking of the fishing net in Zhao Youfang's hand, the big fish in the net appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Soon Zhao Youfang saw the size of the big fish clearly. A two-foot-long big fish might weigh twenty to thirty kilograms, which he had never caught before.

"When the fish is big, take in the net slowly and shake it a few more times. Our fishing nets are thick, so we are not afraid that it will break through the net.

Be careful, don't be dragged into the water by it, the water is too cold, and we are wearing padded jackets, we can't get out of the water. "

According to the experience given by Brother Tong, Zhao Youfang was taught, and Li Shengli also set his sights on the fishing net.

The waters in Wali Village are quite fertile. I wonder if they can catch big fish?

The boat is too small and the fishing net is too heavy. Whether it is dangerous or practical, fishing is the fishing method that suits Li Shengli.

"Come up, come up.

Uncle, hold the oar and give it a shot later, don't let it jump out. "

After Zhao Youfang finished speaking, his arms began to exert strength. After a few strokes, he smashed the fishing net with a circle of small stones into the boat.

Li Shengli also reversed the oars at the right time, smashing the big fish in the net to stop.

"Not a lot.

Our fishing net is still thick. If it is thinner, or use lead weights as counterweights, fishing will be more convenient. "

With the fish caught, Li Shengli also commented on the pros and cons of the fishing net when he saw the large, five and small six fish in the net.

After all, it was changed by blocking the network, the network cable is too thick, and the counterweight made of stone is a bit light.

Thick thread has high buoyancy and insufficient counterweight, so the flexibility of the spinning net is reduced by half. If it is a finished spinning net in a supply and marketing cooperative.

Just now, Zhao Youfang's way of throwing the net indiscriminately will also catch a lot of money.

"Uncle, is it okay to use iron blocks as counterweights?
Lead blocks are quite expensive, and my father has inquired about them, and they are small stones that can only be used if there is no other way. "

Zhao Youfang also knows some disadvantages of self-made spinning nets, but a fishing net uses a lot of lead.

If you go to a supply and marketing cooperative or an aquatic product company to buy it, it will cost at least two or three yuan.

The village spends according to the work division, which is only a few tens of yuan per person a year. In bad harvest years, not a penny is allocated.

If it weren't for the miscellaneous grains and herbs on the mountain, Wali Village would also be a poor and run-down village with insufficient food.

Two or three yuan is considered a lot of money in the village, and it is not worth spending on a fishing net.

If the caught fish can be sold, it is worth adding lead weights to it, but the water bubbles in Wali Village cannot be sold with much fanfare.

Once it is sold, the fishery company will keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, it will be taken back. The public will raise fish here, and Wali Village will not be able to eat fish.

"Iron blocks are also fine, but smelting is troublesome, and it is not easy to perforate.

Lead blocks are used as counterweights, one is because lead blocks are more specific, and the other is that lead has a low melting point, so you can make it at home.

Get an ingot-shaped iron block and tie it on, and it will work just as well. "

He gave Zhao Youfang the answer based on his experience, and Li Shengli couldn't help but admire Brother Tong for his meticulous experience.

"Uncle, you know a lot, let's go ashore first."

With the fish caught, the uncle could not cast the net, so Zhao Youfang, who had gained experience, proposed to go ashore.

Li Shengli didn't want to row a boat in the winter, so he followed Zhao Youfang's wish and rowed a small boat to the shore.

"Oh, what a big fish!

It's full again tonight. "

The boat docked, and the youngest Lao San jumped up excitedly when he saw the big fish in the cabin.

Although there is no shortage of food, meat is also a rarity for the Zhao family.

Sighing, Zhao Laosan's saliva also flowed down, half a child eats me to death, a child of this age can not only eat, but also be greedy.

"Switch the second brother with my uncle. Just now my uncle taught me how to look at fish, and I will teach you too."

The three brothers of the Zhao family have a good relationship, and the boss's loyalty is still very useful.

After changing places with the second child, Li Shengli wanted to go to the mountains to see. There were no mountains nearby, but there were a few big slopes.

"You Fang, you two should pay attention to safety when fishing, and I will take the third child to the slope for a while?"

Casting a net to fish in the water in winter is still somewhat risky, and Li Shengli has to ask Boss Zhao for his opinion.

"Okay, let's go.

My second child and I are good swimmers. We were the two of us who rescued some children from our village who fell into the water the winter before last. "

With Zhao Youfang's answer, Li Shengli felt relieved, and took Zhao Laosan, who hadn't wiped off his halazi, to the direction of Tupo.

The young Zhao Laosan was a little skeptical and didn't talk much along the way, which made Li Shengli a lot more at ease.

It would be melancholy to go up the mountain with a chatterbox.

Along the way, he found weeds with tassels, so Li Shengli went over and plucked off the remaining grass seeds.

In the experience given by Brother Tong, rabbits and the like have a fixed eating path, and the set-up is simpler.

For pheasants and the like, the place to forage is not fixed. After sprinkling some grass seeds and grains as bait, they can be caught with traps.

Nowadays food is expensive, in order to try the experience of the next set, we can only use these dry grass seeds to make ends meet.

In winter, most of the grass seeds that can stay on the ears are shriveled. This is the survival of the fittest in nature.

Congenitally deficient, there is no chance to grow and develop, so it can only be turned into fertilizer for other seeds in the wind and rain.

Taking Zhao Laosan up the slope, Li Shengli began to look down for traces.

Because it is an earth slope, there are not many carnivores, and there are no serious hunters in Wali Village, so there are many traces of small animals on the earth slope.

While checking the traces, he took out his saber and cut some shrub branches, which can be used to fix the trap.

The moment he took out the saber, Zhao Laosan showed envy in his eyes.

But Li Shengli can only make him look enviously, a 13-year-old child is not qualified to play with a knife.

The sharpness of the American enemy army knife is average. Whether it is cutting branches or cutting nylon threads, the effect is average, far worse than the utility knife.

There are many traces on the hillside, most of which are traces left by rabbits, mice, pheasants, and various birds.

Mice don't want to be caught, and birds are not easy to catch. Li Shengli's trap only targets rabbits and pheasants.

It's not easy to set up a jacket in winter. On the windward side of the hillside, the topsoil has been frozen, and the wedges cut from shrub branches are not hard enough to stick into the soil.

Li Shengli could only cut a few small trees to make wedges, with the teaching of Lord Hai last night.

He also let go of some of the more straightforward mature trees.

Brother Tong's experience is very detailed, and he also has knowledge of tree species. In the mountains and forests, there are very few animals and plants that he does not know.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Shengli discovered another way to make money. The herbs in the mountains and forests can be easily obtained with hunting experience.

Rodents such as rabbits rarely come out to look for food during the day.

When someone is around, the pheasant will not foolishly come to the front to get into the trap.

Setting traps and hunting is also a cyclical process, and the foraging paths of rabbits are not unique.

It is the routine process of setting a trap to set a trap first, to harvest the next day, and to continue patrolling and adding and subtracting traps afterwards.

Not only is the water and fertilizer in Wali Village, but also the hillside is considered fertile. Along the way, we turned two slopes and set dozens of traps.

Li Shengli, who was hunting for the first time, was more or less overhunting.

If it is a mountain forest that you often go to, this method of going to a large number of people is still not worth advocating.

Reasonable hunting is the way to coexist, and this is also part of the experience given by Brother Tong.

Li Shengli didn't care much about this, he couldn't get enough to eat, so who cares about it?

After setting the last trap, Li Shengli discovered another advantage of himself.

That is, his memory is very good. He remembers most of the positions of dozens of traps and marks them, so the chance of missing them is very small.

A good memory is very important for both Chinese and Western medicine.

There are so many classics of Chinese medicine, and Li Shengli has never heard of anyone who knows all the classics of Chinese medicine in his past and present lives.

Not to mention the content, it is extremely difficult to know all the names of the classics.

After setting the cover, he took Zhao Laosan back to the shore. The eldest and second son of the Zhao family had already packed the boat.

There were at least dozens of fish piled up on the shore, and Zhao Youfang, who had been instructed, had obviously learned how to look at fish.

"Uncle, the two of us got more than 50 fish in total, about 100 catties.

Just like what the third child said, we can eat all the fish tonight. "

Zhao Youfang, who caught a lot of fish, was also very excited. He learned to cast a net to catch fish, and his family will not be short of meat in the future.

Zhao Youfang also pays more respect to his uncle who taught him fishing experience.

The three brothers of the Zhao family didn't let Li Shengli touch the hundred and ten catties of fish. The three of them divided the fish and rounded up the fish.

Li Shengli took out the waste net he had chosen from among the weeds and held it in his hand.

"Uncle, why do you get all the waste nets?

Those things are useless, I will pick out a new fishing net for you tomorrow. "

Although the shack where the fishing nets are placed is shared by the village, the Zhao family contributed both money and effort.

Even the relationship with the medicinal material company was found by his father, Zhao Mankui, and Zhao Youfang was very clear about the ownership of the fishing nets.

A few fishing nets, as the eldest son of the branch secretary, he still has the power to distribute them.

"There is no need for a big net, there are many jurisdictions in the four or nine cities, and it is not necessary to use a big net to go back.

I'll go back and try to make a few ground cages to see if it works. If it works, I'll teach you later. "

Now Li Shengli has made Wali his stronghold.

When he was in Zhao's house, Lord Hai had already revealed this idea, and Li Shengli was extremely happy about it.

There is not much money in the countryside, but there is a ration in the city. Only by combining the two can we have food and drink.

It was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the Zhao family compound.

Because they were full for breakfast, they were not very hungry.

When they got home, Master Hai and Zhao Mankui were not in the yard, only Aunt Jiang and Zhao Mankui's second daughter were holding shoe soles in the yard.

"You guys are not used to family, and you don't know how to bring your Uncle Shengli home for dinner.

Your father is not happy anymore, just wait for the bear!
Victory, are you hungry?

There is a meal for you in the pot, hurry up and eat. "

Putting down the soles in her hands, Aunt Jiang didn't even look at the fish in their hands.

He trained a few grandchildren in a rough voice, and brought the guests back to play, but eating is a big event and cannot be delayed.

The delay is the master's disrespect, the old Zhao's family has rules, even if they see the fish harvest, Mrs. Jiang will not look good to her grandchildren.

"Grandma, uncle is amazing!
Look at these fish, my uncle taught me to catch them, and they weigh more than 100 catties in total.

We ate it tonight. "

After hearing the explanation from her eldest grandson, Zhao Youfang, Aunt Jiang smiled, and Li Shengli added a few words in a timely manner.

"Ma'am, I'm playful too, it's nothing to do with Youfang.

I took the steel to go up and down the slope, and they have been waiting for me in the puddle. "
