Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 10 Catching Rice Field Eels (seeking investment recommendation tickets for collection)

The four friends had obviously been waiting here for a while.

The reason why I didn't approach Chen Li directly at the grain station was mainly due to Chen Li's father's "notoriety"!
Chen Li's father, Chen Guofu, used to be from the army. After retiring from the army, he joined the grain station to work.

Even after leaving the army, Chen Guofu still retains many of the habits left in the army.

For example, getting up early, or exercising, the most important thing is that he not only exercises by himself, but also Chen Li and Chen Xue.

It is understandable for Chen Li to exercise, but asking the two brothers and sisters to fold the quilt into tofu cubes is a bit too much, right?
Anyway, the two brothers and sisters of the Chen family have been here since they were young, and they used to talk back to Chen Guofu about some things.

And in these days, talking back to your father usually doesn't end well.Anyway, when Chen Li was young, he was beaten a lot.

Being beaten is not the worst thing, the worst thing is to kneel down.

That's not like kneeling at home with the door closed!Instead, let Chen Li kneel in the courtyard dam of the grain station compound.

It's easy to say if it's an ordinary home, but where is the grain station?
Although the current grain station has declined, the early grain station was known as the "golden rice bowl"!

So at the grain station at that time, there were often strange scenes.

Uncle farmers in the entire Erlong Town pushed their wheelbarrows and brought grain to the grain station to pay the public grain. As a result, a little boy knelt in the courtyard dam of the grain station in a daze.

It can be said that this left a very deep "psychological shadow" on Chen Li, who was still very young at the time.

But fortunately, Xiao Chen Li has a stubborn temper, just like his father Chen Guofu.

The more times he was punished to kneel, Chen Li's face became thicker. Later, he was able to chat with the peasant uncle who came to pay the public grain while kneeling.

But this also had an impact.That is, almost all adults and children in Erlong Town agree on one thing, that is Chen Li's father, Chen Guofu. Very crooked!

"Very crooked" is a dialect in Sichuan Province, which means to describe a person who is fierce and has a bad temper, and it also means very powerful.

So, in the entire Erlong town, everyone who knew the grain station Chen Guofu knew that this guy had a bad temper!

Not to mention children, since he was a child, almost no classmates or friends in Chen Li's family were willing to come.

So these four friends would rather wait outside the gate of the grain station for Chen Li to come out than to call him at his house.

"Brother Chen, the summer mushroom grass at my house is about to dry up, and I'll bring it for you when the time comes."

"Row."

"Brother Li, I have a lot of cicada shells (cicada sloughs), someday you can sell them for me."

"Have it."

"Brother Xiaoli, my younger brother caught a black snake today, and you tomorrow"

"roll!"

"Tell your brother not to catch snakes in the future. I won't sell them for him if I catch snakes. Next time I will bring him out to catch eels with us."

"Oh!"

Chen Li led his younger sister and four friends to the non-staple food store instead of going directly to the field.

"One by one."

Chen Li opened the freezer, took five [-]-cent popsicles from it, and handed them to several friends one by one.

"Thank you Brother Li!"

"Thank you Brother Chen!"

The friends did not refuse, obviously this scene is not the first time.

"You eat this."

Chen Li held a [-] cents popsicle in his hand, and then handed Chen Xue a [-] cents cream ice cream!
As a biological sister, the treatment is naturally different. Chen Xue took the cream ice cream and took a bite, with a very satisfied expression on her face.

Chen Li paid the money and led a group of older children across the town towards Erlong River.

But their destination is not the Erlong River, but the small ditch that connects to the Erlong River.

When the popsicles and ice cream in their hands were finished, everyone arrived at their destination.This small ditch is so long that it almost runs through the entire Erlong Town.

In the past, when Chen Li caught rice field eels, he usually chose to go to the fields, but because the price of rice field eels has risen, more people are catching rice field eels in the fields.

When there are more people, the harvest will decrease. This is a law.So today Chen Li chose this small ditch that not many people have looked for.

"Watch out for the snake!"

When we got to the ground, there was no need for Chen Li to say anything, he was an old hand, Chen Li just gave some casual instructions and led Chen Xue to start searching by the small ditch.

The other four also cooperated in groups of two, one playing a flashlight and the other catching eels.

In Erlong Town in 97, although there were quite a lot of people catching ricefield eels, overall, the living environment of ricefield eels was quite good.

This is mainly because there are no factories in Erlong Town, so the pollution is not serious. In addition, rice field eels have only become popular in recent years, so rice field eels are relatively easy to find.

"Get it for me."

Chen Li found a hole in the mud and grass by the ditch, so he handed Chen Xue the rechargeable portable lamp in his hand.

In fact, the most convenient way to catch eels is to use headlights, but they are not sold in Erlong Town, so it is best to cooperate with two people when catching eels.

Of course, it's not impossible for one person to operate, it's just a little more troublesome.

"Where is it? I'll come and I will."

Chen Xue didn't pick up the flashlight handed over by her elder brother at all, but instead took the wire hook from Chen Li's hand with excitement.

"What are you in a hurry for? The earthworms didn't hang up."

Chen Li reluctantly took out the earthworm box, picked out a fat black earthworm and hung it on the wire hook he made.

"Slow down, don't rush, and don't poke too hard."

"Oh, I know."

Chen Xue didn't appreciate it, and after her elder brother helped her put on the earthworm, she stretched the wire hook into the grass hole that Chen Li had discovered before.

At this moment, Chen Xue's face was tense, and she felt the wire hook in her hand with her own feeling.

"Bite!"

With joy on Chen Xue's face, she directly lifted the wire hook out, which made her feel lonely.

Chen Li was holding a rechargeable portable lamp beside him, with no expression on his face. He had already guessed that this would be the ending.

Chen Xue's so-called biting probably just felt the wire hook in his hand move a little. In fact, the eel didn't bite the hook at all.

"Okay. Let me do it! If you do this again, I'm afraid this eel will be scared to death by you."

After seeing Chen Xue fail again, Chen Li couldn't stand it anymore, and took the wire hook from Chen Xue's hand.

"Oh!"

Chen Xue's face collapsed, but she obediently took the lantern from her brother's hand.

When the wire hook was in Chen Li's hand, the feeling was different. Chen Li probed the wire hook into the hole, twitched the wire hook slightly, and then there was a sudden pulling force from the wire hook. Hit the hole for a while, and then slowly pull the hook outward.

The rice field eel is a tough eater, and the wire hook used for cooking is homemade. When the rice field eel bites the hook, you only need to push it in a little bit. Basically, the rice field eel cannot escape.

It's just that the eels caught in this way can't live for a few days, and if they can't be sold in time, they will die easily.

This eel hole is not too small, so Chen Li pulled it out relatively easily. After ten seconds or so, a rice field eel weighing about half a catty was pulled out by Chen Li.

"Fish basket."

Chen Li opened the lid of the fish basket and put the eel in.

"Yay~! A good start."

Although he didn't catch it with his own hands, Chen Xue was very happy to have harvested it so quickly.

"We'll go over there in a while to see if there are any eels to pick up. That's relatively simple. You can try it later."

"Hmm~! I'm going to catch two tonight!"

"That depends on your ability!"

"Don't worry! By the way, brother, how do you find the eel hole? I don't know how to look."

"Why do you study this! Just read your book carefully!"

"Oh, just tell me!"
