Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 178 Hairy Hook (Fifth)

After a meal, Wang Dalong and his group sat and drank tea on the grass in front of the cellar.

There are also people who are not used to drinking tea and always feel uncomfortable drinking hot water, so they go straight to the river to drink cold water with their buttocks pouted.

People in the mountains are not so particular about it, and it’s over after eating and drinking.

While chatting, Lu Lu asked casually: "Brothers, do you know anyone around here who is repairing horseshoes and nailing horseshoes well? It would be best if they can make horseshoes themselves?"

In his previous life, Lu Lv had never raised horses, so he joined Chen Xiuyu's family and quickly set up a buying point for mountain products. He often went back and forth between Northeast China and Shanghai, running around. At home, Chen Xiuyu had a lot of things to do, and he was too busy to take care of the animals. He never raised horses.

Usually, you need to use a car to pull goods, either looking for a car, or hiring someone else's carriage.

Lu Lu was one of the earliest people who owned a private car, but in the mountains, there are many places that cars can't reach. In order to drive, he had to use horses. He was quite skilled at riding horses, but I don't know much about horse management.

Trimming horseshoes and nailing horseshoes, he had seen people do it in Xiushantun, this is almost an operation that most people who raise horses at home understand.

But in Lu Lu's view, it's not done well enough, and some don't like it.

Zhuifeng is a good horse, and of course a good horse must be well served.

He took a closer look at Zhuifeng's hoof. In the hands of the previous owner, he hadn't cared for it for a long time, and the hoof had grown horny, so he had to take a good rest.

There are still horseshoes, but they have been made very thin, and they don't seem to fit very well, so they need to be made carefully.

The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, and the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water will quickly cause the hard cuticle on the horseshoe to fall off with a thickness of two to three centimeters.

The purpose of nailing the horseshoe is to delay the wear of the horse's hoof, protect the horse's hoof, and allow the horse's feet to obtain better grip.

"The Jin Family Treasure we have stored!"

Bai Gousheng said it almost without thinking: "He has these things, he can make horseshoes, and he does delicate work. He fiddles with many people's horseshoes in the village. He is a blacksmith himself, and usually mainly Just to make some knives and hoes, the quality is high, you can find him."

Jin Jiabao... Lu Lu remembered this name.

"I'll go look for it in the past two days!"

Chasing the wind often rode into the mountains, no matter what, the four hooves should be well equipped, otherwise it would be difficult to ride.

After Wang Dalong led the people to build the fence, Wang Yan packed up the pots and pans and left quickly.

Chen Xiuqing was in the cellar, and soon felt bored. After helping Lu Lv shovel the oily skin of the greyhound he killed yesterday and stretch it up with a frame, he began to yell: "Brother Lu, why don't we go into the mountains?" Go around, stay here, it's boring."

After walking such a long way yesterday, after a night, he seemed to be a normal person, and he was extremely energetic.

"Bored? Bored, go help Uncle Wang and the others with their work."

Lu Lu directly found something for him to do: "It happens to be very close to your Uncle Wang. Anyway, you are idle when you are idle."

The spring planting is over, and it is not so busy for the time being. Many people are starting to go out to do odd jobs in farms or forest farms. Apart from wild vegetables, there is nothing else to do, but I am free.

Since there is no place to vent his energy, it is better to let him help Wang Dalong and the others with some work, anyway, he is looking for an opportunity to join in front of Wang Dalong.

Chen Xiuqing looked like a deflated ball, but she still walked towards Wang Dalong and the others.

In fact, how could Lu Lu not know Chen Xiuqing's plan, nothing more than wanting to learn more experience in driving mountains from him.

But after these few days, Lu Lu has taught him a lot, enough for him to absorb it.

As the saying goes, you can't chew too much.

If you don't absorb and comprehend what you have learned, and transform it into something that truly belongs to you, knowing more is useless.

Lu Lu understood this deeply.

He himself knows a lot, but he is still a long way from being able to express what he knows in spirit.

He thought that he could at best be regarded as a third-rate hunter, far from the first-rate.

When thinking about these problems, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Tuanqing, the leader of the Oroqen people who has been hunting all his life.

As they got older, it was dangerous in the mountains. The government encouraged them to give up hunting for many years. It was time for Zhao Tuanqing to settle down in the mountains. In his last life, he still died in the mountains. Lu Lu felt that this should not be the end.

Accumulating a lifetime of hunting experience, Zhao Tuanqing is a treasure to Lu Lu.

He suddenly had an idea that Zhao Tuanqing was kind to him, so he couldn't just visit and finish the matter. He wanted to take Zhao Tuanqing to live in his meadow, and take good care of him.

You can also learn more hunting experience from him.

After resting for a while, Lu Lu went back to the cellar, found two small needles for sewing clothes, a vice, and the wax thread (fishing line) that he had already bought. The extinguished firewood was ignited again, and then the sewing needle was put into the fire and burned red, held in a vice, and bent into a fishhook.

Afterwards, Lu Lu went to the Immortal Column again, cut off some tail hair from the yellow leather, picked some into two small locks and tied them on the fishhook, resembling the wings of flying insects. black line.

The whole hook looks like an insect with a mottled body.

At this point, the hair hook is finished.

This is a sharp weapon for fishing blue scale fish.

Going into the mountain early tomorrow, Lu Lu believes that there will be a good harvest.

This fish is precious. If I remember correctly, the ones in the district should be able to sell for a good price. It is too far away from Yichun, otherwise they can be sold for a better price.

Apart from wanting to taste the green scale fish himself, Lu Lu's main purpose is to sell the green scale fish he got.

In these years, the price of fish meat is generally not high, a few cents a catty, and dried fish is even cheaper.

But the green scale fish is different. This stuff can't form a catch, and it has a strong seasonality. Most people get it occasionally, and most of them eat it by themselves, but it is rare and expensive. It is cheaper than ordinary fish. Much higher, especially for some special occasions.

By the way, he also wanted to deal with the fur that he had accumulated these days.

"Well... Tomorrow, I still have to call Qingzi, the two of us should be able to catch more, and the more things are easier to get!"

After making up his mind, Lu Lu made two more hooks.

After the hook was finished, Lu Lu went to clean up the branches and leaves left by the three deer in the fence. After finishing his work, seeing that it was still early, he suddenly realized that he, like Chen Xiuqing, also began to feel bored.

After thinking about it, Lu Lu stepped on the shotgun, carried the hunting bag, called Yuan Bao, and planned to wander around the nearby mountains without going far.

Chen Xiuqing seemed to be staring at Lu Lv at all times. Seeing him move, she immediately sent the log she was carrying to Wang Dalong who was nailing the fence with nails. After putting it down, she greeted Wang Dalong and ran up the ridge. Come down and follow.

Lu Lu smiled and didn't say much.

The two of them were strolling in the woods all the way, when they suddenly heard Yuan Bao's whining sound reminding him that Lu Lu knew that there was a small animal, so he immediately followed the direction and touched it, and after walking not far, Chen Xiuyu faintly heard something ahead the sound of.
