Hearing the voice, Xue Chengyuan perked up.
After giving instructions for so long, it was finally done.
"Teacher Xue, the web is ready!"
Wang Weiqiang panted heavily and ran into the house." The wife and auntie in the village did as you said and worked together. It's just that the time was too short and the materials were not enough. They only made a 60-meter-long fishing net in half a month. The mesh is three inches long."”
"Let's go and take a look!"
Xue Chengyuan put down the things in his hands and ran out with Wang Weiqiang.
After coming to Wangjiatun for so long, he had been thinking about how to catch fish and put them into the spatial pool. He couldn't wait until the snow melted.
If he only relied on these wild animals, how long would he have to wait to catch them one by one?
That day, when he was protecting the forest, he walked to a lake with Huang Ting.
The lake wasn't small in the mountains. It was about 100 meters long and 30 meters wide.
Of course, it was much worse than the famous Heavenly Lake.
According to Huang Ting, this was the place where they scooped fish at the beginning of spring.
The lake was mainly surrounded by Wangjiatun and Kaoshan Tun. The people of Kaoshan Tun were on the back of the mountain, so they basically didn't come here.
When the ice melted, many villagers would go.
There was also an old man who specialized in fishing in the mountain village. He was about the same age as the old captain and was fishing in this lake.
"Teacher Xue, let's not talk about anything else. There are indeed more things in your brain than ours.”
Wang Weiqiang looked at Xue Chengyuan with admiration. How did he think of using a net to catch fish under the ice?
The key was how to cast the net?
Wang Jiatun had never seen anything like this in such a long time.
"What are you talking about? Teacher Xue's brain is filled with knowledge, but yours is filled with brain matter!”
The herb gatherer stood at the side and looked at Wang Weiqiang."You can only raise dogs with your brain.”
"What's wrong with raising a dog? I can feed a whole family by raising a dog!”
Just as the herb gatherer was about to finish speaking, a woman shouted,"Teacher Xue, see if there's anything else you want to do. We'll make some changes here.”
"He's here!"
Xue Chengyuan walked over and squeezed through the crowd to take the net. He looked around and gave a thumbs up."Yes, that's it."
Xue Chengyuan's family used to organize winter raids, and he had personally participated in them. His father was also the organizer, so this was a small problem.
"Does this mean that we can really do it this time?”
"I can do it. I'll dig an ice hole every ten meters and tie it up with a thick, dry bamboo pole to make the net float.”
"Then use a clamp made of bamboo and turn it with a capstan. Let the bamboo clamp it and send it to the other end.”
Xue Chengyuan stopped talking.
The group of people did not understand what he was saying. What was the use of him saying all this?
"Well, just do it. Listen to me.”
"Yes, I heard it from afar."
The old captain walked over from the side." It's almost the New Year. We're definitely short on New Year's goods. There are many children in each family. Why are we still looking at the New Year's Eve?"”
"We don't understand what Cheng Yuan is saying, so let's not talk about it. Everyone knows that Cheng Yuan is doing this for our own good.”
"When we have a good New Year, our days will definitely be more prosperous when the children go to school!”
"Yes! Old Captain is right."
"Alright, let's tidy up and see what else we need. Cheng Yuan, go ahead and get ready.”
Everyone agreed. After Xue Chengyuan finished speaking, everyone quickly went to get busy.
He wanted to see if he could log off today. If not, he could only go tomorrow.
As long as they did not see fish, the people in the village would not be at ease.
After spending so much time and energy, as well as the cost of weaving the net, if they could not catch any fish, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.
If they couldn't catch anything else, Xue Chengyuan's prestige in the village would definitely be greatly reduced.
"Old Captain! Can the mules in the village reach the lake?”
"No problem, isn't that what mules are for?”
"Cheng Yuan, tell me more about this matter." The old captain agreed.”
"It will definitely work. Old Captain, you've known me for so long. When have you ever seen me brag?”
"That's true. I was overthinking."
The old captain relaxed a little.
As long as Wangjiatun learned this, it would be a well-known wealthy village in the future. There would be many girls coming in when their children got married.
Everything would change.
"Let's go back, Old Captain. I'll see if we can keep busy today and go tomorrow. Our village will definitely have a prosperous year this year.”
"Alright."
In the village, the young daughter-in-law and auntie dragged their tired bodies back home.
This net was their hard work for the past half a month. Whether it could succeed or not depended on this wave.
Xue Chengyuan, Huang Ting, Wang Weiqiang, and the others went to find bamboo. They calculated the distance, cut it open, and prepared everything.
Early the next morning, the men in the village had their fill and were busy loading fishing nets and tools onto the mules.
In the end, they realized that the mule could not pull so many things. After thinking about it, they called for more people to tie up the things that were not suitable for damage. They either carried them or pulled them and began to walk towards the lake.
With so many people, the mountain became lively. Snow rabbits and pheasants that could usually be seen would run away when they heard the sound from afar.
Wolves, wolves, tigers, leopards, and whatnot were nowhere to be found.
When there were many people, it was even more dangerous than a pack of wolves.
"Everyone, work harder. We're almost there. As long as we arrive, the fish will be in front of us!”
"With the fish caught, we'll serve the fish head to the elderly at home during the New Year. We'll stew the fish on the eve of the New Year and add another dish to the table!”
"Wouldn't the days be better in the future?”
"Ol 'Captain, even I'm tempted by your words. Let's not talk about it anymore. When we catch the fish and divide it, I'll treat you to a drink!”
The old captain was driving the mule in front and shouting,"Don't invite me. If we can catch a fish, we'll invite Cheng Yuan.”
"Of course!"
The group of people shouted and became even more energetic. They carried the things and took a few breaks along the way before rushing straight to the lakeside.
"Cheng Yuan, what do you think we should do?”
Everyone put down their things and stared at Xue Chengyuan.
Their eyes were filled with hope for a better life.
