Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 52
The morning light was slightly dew, but Lu Yange was still sleeping soundly.

Lu Xiaoli crawled over Lu Xiaoyu's body, soaked a cold and damp handkerchief and wiped Lu Yange's face: "Still sleeping, dad is waiting for you to pick up the eel cage."

Xiao Si likes to sleep late, it is difficult to wake him up.

Even if she wakes up, she will try every means to stay in bed.

No, Lu Xiaoli thought of a way, wiped her face with a wet handkerchief early in the morning, and no matter how sleepy she was, the cold handkerchief would probably have completely wiped her sleepiness.

"Second sister..."

Lu Yangge pushed Lu Xiaoli away, and sat up angrily.

This day is really impossible.

Wake up earlier than chickens and go to bed earlier!

Think back then...

Forget it, don't think about it, there is no such thing as before, now is the age of worrying about the next meal!
"Hurry up, dad is waiting." Lu Xiaoli put back his handkerchief, turned his head to see Xiaosi sitting cross-legged, and got annoyed with his listless look.

How can there be such a lazy person who doesn't think about it every morning and doesn't want to sleep at night.

Lu Yange also couldn't understand why people are so poor now and have to get up early.

Not to mention those who get up early to fish and cook to coax the children. Children as old as him are not allowed to sleep late at home.

Even if you get up and play with mud by the river beach, no one cares about you.

But if you sleep late, it just won’t work.

Evening is even more outrageous. After dinner early, I have to go to bed.

If you can't sleep, you won't be allowed to turn on the lamp, because it costs lamp oil!
"Xiao Si, are you awake?"

Qiu raised the curtain between the front and rear cabins and poked his head in: "Get up quickly, your father is waiting for you to pick up the eel cage."

"My father?"

Lu Yange finally came to his senses: "Aren't you going to the pier?"

"Your father said..."

Qiu took two steps closer and lowered his voice: "Your father said, let's go with you to see if we can really get down the long fish. After finishing the eel cage, he will go to the pier when he has time. If he can When you go down to the long fish, your father will not go to the pier, but will weave a few more eel cages and go to a few more places."

If you can get down to the long fish, you can make more money than going to the pier to carry bags.

The disadvantage of living on a boat is that there is no privacy. As long as you make a little noise, the two boats next door can really hear it.

Because the three girls of the family lived in the cabin, plus Lu Yange, a tomboy, although there was no privacy at all, Lu Quan never opened the curtain to come in casually.

This made Lu Yange feel very comfortable.

Life on board is hard, and there are few taboos.

Two or three generations of a family live in one cabin. Those with a small population are fine, but those with a large population sleep next to each other.

The downside of mixing men and women is that everyone has no sense of boundaries.

When the weather is hot, children under the age of seven or eight, regardless of gender, bathe and swim in the water with bare buttocks everywhere.

If the conditions are better, girls can still wear a small jacket and trousers, but if the conditions are poor, there is really no way to care about this.

As for the boys, they almost uniformly don't need to wear clothes in the summer, and they are tanned and shiny.

When Lu Xingge put on his clothes and combed his hair and came out, Lu Quan was already waiting at the bow of the boat with a wooden bucket.

"Father, wait a minute, I'll brush my teeth."

Lu Yange squeezed a pinch of ground green salt, and squatted on the side of the boat to brush his teeth.Lu Xiaoli glanced at Lu Yange who was brushing his teeth, then at his father who was waiting with a bucket, and couldn't help but snorted softly.

Just spoil it, it's better to spoil a prodigal son.

Only Lu Yange in the Lu family has a toothbrush, because she is not used to willow branches, so Lu Quan went to the town to buy a toothbrush for her.After spending fifteen pennies, Lu Xiaoli was so distressed that he didn't want to talk to Lu Xiaosi for several days.

After Lu Yangge finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lu Xiaoqing stuffed her with two vegetable dumplings.

This vegetable dumpling is not big, with a big mouth.

It was made out of boiled horse teeth vegetables dug yesterday and cooked together with brown rice and wild beans. Everyone had one, only Lu Yange and Lu Quan had two.

Lu Yange took a bite of the wild vegetable dumpling and stuffed another one to Lu Quan: "Father, I can't eat it."

She really couldn't eat it, not because she was hungry, but mainly because the function of this wild vegetable dumpling was to fill her stomach, and the taste was simply indescribable.

Lu Quan knew that the young four had small tastes, and it was already very embarrassing for him to eat coarse grains with them.

However, the family is too poor, even if he wants to do something good for the children alone, he is really powerless.

Every now and then, the family will buy some fine grains for Xiao Si to change.

It's just that this child is too honest, if he wants to eat, everyone eats together, and he is resolutely unwilling to eat small stoves alone.

Lu Quan pinched the wild vegetable dumpling in his hand, and his ears were slightly red: "If you catch a long fish, you will sell it for money later, and dad will buy you sesame seed cakes to eat."

This is probably the most unassuming thing Lu Quan has ever said in his life.

Lu Yange nodded while choking on the rice ball in his mouth: "Okay."

"Father, here."

Ever since Lu Quan took out the first eel cage under Lu Yange's command, Lu Quan's hands kept shaking, shaking so much that he had to rub hard on the water plants twice before he could barely suppress the joy in his heart .

In the first ox horn cage, four long fish were poured out, and the thinnest one was thicker than his thumb.

Looking at half of the long fish in the barrel, Lu Quan swallowed again.

The thirst in his throat seemed to be smoking, but he was not thirsty at all.

No wonder when he came in the morning, Xiao Si asked him to carry an extra bucket. If he kept it like this, one wooden bucket would definitely not be enough to hold it.

Lu Quan felt a little dizzy when he thought of going back with two buckets full of long fish.

Is this long fish so easy to catch?
Just put this bamboo cage into the ditch at night and collect it in the morning?

"It's not that easy."

When Lu Yange's voice sounded, Lu Quancai realized that he had unconsciously said what he wanted to ask in his heart.

"In fact, we have to pay attention to the placement of this eel cage. It is spring, the weather is pleasant, and the water temperature is also suitable. Just put the eel cage in the place where the aquatic plants sprout. In summer, the temperature is high and the weather is hot. It should be placed in a cool place where there is food. In autumn, the water level drops, and the long fish have to spend the winter, and they are placed in places with lush aquatic plants.”

"Long fish don't like running water. They rarely appear in places with too much current. They can't be placed in places with waves. To avoid the wind, put them on the south slope when the south wind blows, and put them on the north slope when the north wind blows. Deep ponds, The eel cage should be placed in shallow water with aquatic plants. If it is a shallow river beach, put the eel cage in deep water with lush aquatic plants..."

Lu Quan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xiaosi's small mouth, which made him dizzy.

He seemed to only notice one question: "What about winter?"

The river is frozen in winter, basically fishing boats like them cannot go fishing in the river.if……

Lu Yange shattered his fantasy with one sentence: "In winter, the long fish are hibernating and won't come out."

However, you can also find long fish holes to dig.

However, this Lu Yange couldn't talk, she was afraid of the cold and suffering, and she was afraid of digging for a long time to dig out a snake.

"Oh."

Lu Quan wiped his face: "Father didn't remember clearly, you will talk to Dad in detail later."

He didn't expect that there are so many ways to catch a long fish.

"Okay."

Lu Yangge nodded, and the little hair that Xiaoqing combed her hair shook, making it difficult for people to tell whether she was a girl or a kid.
