Chapter 55 [055] Catching fish in a bamboo basket

As a small Jiangnan in the Central Plains, Xinshi is certainly beautiful. There are not only bamboo but also tea fields and rice fields here. There are many mountains and rivers, and the rich products make people linger. She not only has the rough side of the north, but also the fineness of the south. The breath of life, for example, this bamboo weaving craft, once you enter the door, it will make people linger and forget to return.

The father and daughter spent an afternoon tossing and weaving two kinds of fish baskets with different shapes and characteristics. However, this kind of craftsmanship is definitely a kind of destruction for Zhuo Lin's delicate skin and tender hands. If you don't pay attention, you will be caught Bamboo thorns pierce the flesh, so most of the craftsmen we see are men, and women rarely do this kind of work.

Father glanced at the bamboo baskets woven under her guidance and smiled.

"I can't guarantee whether we can catch fish, but we can put it down and try. If we can catch fish, I will make fish soup for you."

The bamboo baskets woven by Zhuo Lin and her father, one has a small caliber on the top and a big belly on the bottom; The disadvantage of collecting fish is that the target is large and easy to be stolen, so it is best to release it at night, and you have to get it back before dawn.

The father and daughter were very excited to spend an afternoon making the fish basket, so that night, Zhuo Dajun led the two sons to the river, found a relatively safe place to put the fish basket down, and used the surrounding The grass covered it.

This night, Zhuo Lin was so nervous that she couldn't sleep, because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time. In fact, after passing through, she didn't even smell any meaty smell, and the dishes on weekdays were pitifully little greasy. , she didn't like to eat fish before, but now she is looking forward to eating fish.

Yesterday, my father went out when it was so dark that no one could be seen, and no one in the village saw him. If he was not familiar with the situation by the river, he probably would not have dared to go there in such a dark place. Zhuo Lin thought about it all night, and wanted to go with her father The miracle was witnessed by the river, but it is a pity that once the sleepiness addiction came up, I just missed it.

When she woke up, it was dawn, she jumped up from the bed with a scream, and ran out barefoot.

At a glance, he saw the big wet bamboo basket and the small bamboo basket in the yard, and his father was cutting bamboo with a knife next to him. Seeing Zhuo Lin, he smiled.

"Linlin, come and see, I really caught a fish."

Just as Zhuo Lin was about to get down, she heard the lady in the kitchen say, "Why did you come out with bare feet, your father's side is full of bamboo chips, be careful with your feet, put on your shoes, fish won't run away."

"Where are my brothers? Have they left?"

"It's not like I'm leaving. She still has to go to school. Before dawn, I went to the river with your father, caught the fish, and left quickly after eating,"

Zhuo Lin went back to the house and kicked on the cloth shoes made by Auntie, and then ran to look in the bamboo basin in the yard. She was shocked even herself when she saw it.

"So many?" Big fish, small fish, small shrimps, crabs, and two soft-shelled turtles, my God, this is the rhythm of getting rich!
Zhuo Dajun looked at her with admiration while scratching the bamboo strips: "Your mother said you are the little lucky star of our family, I think it is true, no one here here knows how to use this method, such a big trumpet mouth, give it Put it on the rocks upstream and downstream, it will not be washed down, as long as the opening below is clamped firmly, once the fish enters, they will not be able to climb up, my clever daughter, it seems that our family will not be short of fish to eat in the future. "
