Waste Wood Farming Notes

Li Tianfu's two catties of snacks were spent, and the effect was obvious. The wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain were basically picked up. Others needed to pick wild vegetables, so they had to go to a farther place, but the wild vegetables grew fast, so he stopped. Please ask other people to help pick wild vegetables, and the wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain are slowly growing back.

He still had six catties of snacks in his hand, and he didn't plan to eat the rest. He kept these and it would be easy to ask the children in the village for help in the future.

Recently, he has been thinking about ways to make money at home. After knowing that he recovered, those little friends also came to him. Most of them are the most favored ones in the family. They don’t have to do anything. Steal a few sweet potatoes to bake at home or from your own vegetable garden.

Bad guys are not counted, but they are really unpopular in the village.

"Grandma, I'm going out to play." Li Tianfu shouted loudly holding a fishnet bag. He made an appointment with them yesterday and went to catch fish for food today.By the way, ask them if they have a way to make money.

"You can't go to places with deep water!" Li Liushi exhorted, and let him go out without worry. She was almost drowned last time, so her precious grandson probably wouldn't dare to go to places with deep water again.

"Fu Geer, why are you here now?" Er Shan said unhappily.

"I'm looking for this thing." Li Tianfu held up the net bag in his hand. When he was in the orphanage, he met many friends, some of whom grew up in the village. Later, when the family was gone, the things were seized by his uncle. He was also sent to the gate of the orphanage, and the fish bag was taught to him by the other party.

"What is this?"

Li Tianfu raised his chin and said proudly: "Didn't you say it was for catching fish? This is for catching fish."

He had been looking for his milk for a long time to grind this thing before giving it to him to use as waste. In the past ten days, he ate porridge and sweet potatoes without any oil in his stomach. Now he no longer hates eating fatty meat.

He also wanted to go hunting in the mountains, but he didn't know how to judge the signs of prey, and he didn't know how to make traps, and there were wild boars on the mountains, so it was not safe, so he gave up.

"Go! Let's catch fish." Someone urged, "I'm almost starving to death."

"Have you brought everything?" Li Tianfu asked.

As the youngest person among this group of people, and he was white and fat, Li Tianfu went with them. He never needed to bring anything, but sometimes they would forget to bring something.

Li Ershan: "I brought salt."

Li Wuniu: "I brought clay pots."

Ang Lee: "I brought a wooden barrel."

Gu Mumu: "I brought ginger and oil."

"It seems that I forgot to bring something?" Li Tianfu touched his chin and said.

"By the way, Brother Ermu, you forgot to bring your dagger." Li Tianfu said.

Gu Mumu is not from their Li family village, but moved from other places. Among the five of them, the richest person is from their family. He can also bring out daggers. Unlike other people, he can only bring them with him. The kitchen knife comes out.

He was said to be short of wood when he was born, so his name was Gu Mumu. Li Tianfu wanted to change jobs, why didn't you call him Gu Sensen?There are six wood!

"Ah! Let me see," Gu Mumu said quickly, "I brought it, but I forgot to tell you, let's go now."

As he said that, Gu Mumu handed the dagger to Li Tianfu as if flattering him, "Brother Fu, you take this one. Didn't you say you like it very much last time? Will I give it to you when it's used up? My dad bought a new one return."

"Thank you, Brother Ermu." Li Tianfu found out from the memory of the original owner that Gu Mumu was an invisible face controler. Among these dark men, there was such a white and tender guy as Li Tianfu. It's strange if he doesn't like it. .

Now that the five people were ready, they brought their things to a small stream. The deepest water here was only up to their waists, and there was no danger at all. The shallow water meant that the fish here were not Big, usually two or three fingers in size.

"I thought of a new way to catch fish. I can catch more fish. Do you want to try it?" Li Tianfu asked with a tool.

Li An asked, "Let's see."

In the past, they basically caught fish by besieging them. Usually, they could only catch a few fish, and after a taste, they were gone.

"We cut off the upper water first, and then put stones in the lower gap to let the water dry up, so the fish have no place to run," Li Tianfu said.

This creek is a diversion of the big river at the foot of their mountain. They just need to stop the water source, otherwise the fish disturbed by them will either run forward or downstream.

"It's really a good idea. This fish can't escape!" Li An said happily, "Why didn't you come up with such a good idea earlier, Brother Fu?"

Li Tianfu chuckled, "Didn't I just come up with this too?"

"This method is good. When the time comes, we will share more fish with Fu Geer, the great hero."

The others had no objection either, they could imagine that there must be a lot of fish caught this time.

Li An is the youngest son of the village chief, and he is the oldest among them at 19 years old. He has always been the leader of their small group.

Li An said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to bring just one barrel. Li Ershan, your home is the closest to here. Go and bring two more wooden barrels."

"No problem, I'll be back soon."

"Wu Niu and I went to the front to stop the water, and Fu Geer and Er Mu put the net here."

Li Tianfu patted his small chest and said: "Don't worry, leave this to us, and let us know when you cut it off."

Seeing them leaving, Gu Mumu asked, "Brother Fu, what should we do?"

Li Tianfu put the net bag in his hand aside, "Find a few stones and bring them here."

Gu Mumu obediently moved the stone to the position Li Tianfu said, "And then?"

"This stone is not enough, let's move two more." Li Tianfu said, and found a narrower place, which was used as a place for them to catch fish.

It's not enough to just rely on mud to block the gap. With stones blocking it, they can slowly release the water.

"Fu Geer is blocked—" Li An shouted loudly.

Li Tianfu immediately pushed down the stone and blocked the stream. There was no water flowing in from above. The fish would soon follow the water and run towards them. Because the two of them were here, the fish did not dare to approach them. They all hid, but there was no place to hide when there was no water.

They have already piled up the stones, the gaps between the stones are very small, it doesn't matter if those small fish escape, anyway, fish the size of two or three fingers will definitely not be able to escape.

Worried that the two of them didn't block the fish, Li An stopped the water and ran down immediately.

Where they had stopped the stream, they had seen some fish come out of the crevices and run down the water, and the ones that came out were late, struggling in the mud.

The most important thing now is whether Fu Geer and the others stopped the fish?They ignored the fish.

"Brother An, you guys are here, hurry up and help, there are so many fish here!" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Tianfu raised his head to see the two of them running over, and said hastily.

The wooden barrel was placed next to them, and it was already half full of fish. Gu Mumu stood in the water, and he could catch a fish or two with his hand in the muddy water, while Li Tianfu stood on the bank, holding his net bag, Once you fish in the water, you can catch half of the fish in the net at once.

"Brother Fu, give me the net bag." Li An said, his strength was great, much faster than Li Tianfu's slow movements.

Li An moved quickly, and Gu Mumu standing in the water seemed to be in the way. Their wooden barrel was filled with a bucket of fish in a short while, and if they were not careful, the fish would still be picked out.

"Get up, Ermu, Ershan hasn't brought the bucket back yet, so dig a pit next to it to put the fish in." Li An said.

He didn't and didn't expect that there were so many fish here, and there was a steady stream of fish flowing down the water ahead, hiding in the grass, and there were more fish in the holes on both sides of the stream than they imagined.

Without tools, they dug the pit with their hands and branches. Fortunately, the soil on the bank was moist, otherwise they might not be able to dig.

When they dug a hole half a meter wide and three fingers deep, Li Ershan came to them belatedly with two wooden barrels and looked surprised, "Why, why are there so many fish? I only brought two barrels. Here are two barrels."

Li Tianfu threw the branch in his hand impatiently, and finally he didn't need to continue digging, "Brother Er Niu, hurry up and bring the bucket."

The fish in this creek are the only ones that the five of them are interested in. They often come here for tooth sacrifices. No one has ever thought of draining the water here to catch fish, and the distance is also very far. Li Tianfu visually inspected the past , about 50 meters away, more than half a meter wide, one meter deep water, and a lot of vegetation growing on both sides of the bank, passing by here can often see fish swimming away quickly, so many fish are caught.

"Go away, Brother Fu, don't get your hands dirty." Li Erniu picked up the fish in the pit into the barrel with an excited expression, "How can we eat all the fish?"

Li Tianfu rolled his eyes, thinking of this question, according to the quantity of these fish, each of them can get at least one bucket of fish, there are so many fish here, if they take them home and eat them, it would be too wasteful.

If they can't finish it, they can take it to the town to sell!

They came out early in the morning, because there was no sun at this time, and they would not get so badly sunburned. It was still enough time for them to go to town now.It is also very easy to transport their fish to the town. Gu Mumu's family has an ox cart.

Just borrow their cattle and go to town!Isn't this a good way to make money?Li Tianfu's mind started to move, but he didn't know if they would go or not?

"It's too wasteful to eat so many fish, why don't we borrow the ox cart from Brother Ermu's house and sell it in the town!" Li Tianfu suggested.

Li An's thoughts were also moved. He is different from the other four. He has already married a wife. If he earns some money to go back, his wife must be very happy and asked, "When will we sell this fish before we can buy it?" Is it over?"

Li Tianfu thought for a while and said, "I have a way to sell them."
