Shanwa Small Rich Farmers

Chapter 153: Clear pond (2)

Wen Yuandong looked at the people on the bank and began to make mud. Baskets of mud from the edge of the trough were filled between the two mud floats pulled out of the water. Those who had their hands on the shore all performed their duties one after another. The whole Qinglong Wa presents a scene of excitement.

   "Uncle, you don't clear the fish once in this pond?" Wen Yuandong walked to Wen Xu's side, interrupted the chat between Wen Xu and Zhuo Yiqing, and asked in confusion.

Wen Xu said: "I don't know, the water in this pond may not be exhausted tonight, wait until tomorrow morning when the water is drained, sell whatever fish is in the pond, Yan Dong will send people over then of".

Wenxu's Qingtang here, probably the happiest thing is Yan Dong, he just wrapped up all the fish on the phone, of course, the package he said was not cash, but took all the fish away, In the end, after the sale, the warm money was paid.

   "Oh!" Wen Yuandong nodded subconsciously when he heard Wen Xu say this, and continued to walk back to the edge of the depression with his head stretched out to watch the helpers digging soil to fill the dam.

   "Yuandong, why are you so ignorant, you quickly picked up the shovel and started the work. Standing on the sidelines and watching the show, can you tell the money?"

Someone saw Wen Yuandong standing by the side with his hands waving and staring at him. He was a little dissatisfied and opened his mouth to say, everyone came here to work because they have nothing to do at home, and it is impossible to go out to work when they have free time. So I took advantage of Wenxu's Qingtang to earn some money to subsidize the family. Although everyone here knows that the future is good, but they all owe money. Although the money is not much, there will always be some psychological comfort.

  But this Wen Yuandong, doing nothing and resting here, made some people feel a little uncomfortable.

  Many people can see Wen Xu doing nothing, but they feel uncomfortable when they see people like themselves acting like they are watching the fun, and they have to say something like this to others to feel comfortable.

"Brother, don't be a fool, if you work hard, I can take the aquatic plants in the pond back to my pond sooner." Young people, especially young people like Wen Yuandong , I am more active in thinking than others. Seeing things is also more rational than others, so Wen Yuandong is now focusing on his own pond.

Wen Yuandong is in a good mood now. Wen Yuandong won the forehand and backhand just now. It was his first turn to pick the water plants, so he did his part to pick the first pond. For him, the water plants entered the pond one day earlier, so The fish of my own will come out of the pond one day earlier, and the money will naturally come to hand sooner.

   "Don't move, let me see!"

After Wen Yuandong finished speaking, he glanced at his sharp eyes and saw a hole under Wen Yuanli's shovel. Relying on his years of experience in catching birds and digging eels, he knew it was a snake hole. The shape, if there is a snake in this hole, the snake is not small.

  Wen Guangli was taken aback by his words: "Uncle, what are you talking about, I almost fell into the water skiing!"

   After finishing speaking, Wen Guangli lowered his head and took a look at the snake hole where the shovel dug: "Sure enough, and the snake inside should be a red chain"

   "Let me see!" At this time, another head next to him stretched out, carefully looked at the hole under Wen Guangli's feet, and then nodded, expressing agreement with Wen Guangli's words.

"What are you guys doing?" Hu Xiangjun himself was already working in full swing. When he looked up, he saw two or three people gathered together, and they stopped working. They seemed to want to chat, so he opened his mouth and asked loudly. One sentence.

Although the people here are all Boss Wen's clansmen, Hu Xiangjun also understands that the reason why Boss Wen handed over the money to him for unified distribution is because he is the person in charge, and the second is probably because he is afraid that the gang will be lazy at work. , he himself is not good at uttering bad words, so this matter can only be handled by himself. When it came to the money in his pocket, Hu Xiangjun was not polite at all. Seeing that some people were lazy and wanted to rest after working for such a short time, he immediately scolded him loudly.

  Wen Xu was chatting with Zhuo Yiqing, at first he didn't notice the matter of the snake cave, but when he heard Hu Xiangjun's roar, he immediately raised his head and looked over here.

   "Hutouer, there is a big snake hole with a red chain!" Wen Guangli said.

   "What does the red chain have to do with you? What if it can send you money? Hurry up and work!" Hu Shangjun said.

  When Wen Xu heard that it was a red chain, he suddenly became interested and said to Zhuo Yiqing: "I'll go and see!"

   "What's so interesting about snakes, I want you to go, anyway, I won't go, I feel hairy when I see snakes swimming around," Zhuo Yiqing said.

Hearing what Zhuo Yiqing said, Wen Xu smiled and said: "If there is really a big red chain, then you will be lucky tonight. One bite of this snake stew will probably make you want to have a second bite." .

  While talking warmly, he walked towards the edge of the puddle, and when he got to the side, he stretched his head to look at the exposed snake hole and nodded: "Well, it's really a hole with a red chain."

   Speaking of this, Wen Xu stretched out his hand and pushed Wen Guangli: "Go aside, give me this seat, I'm going to eat it tonight!"

   "Uncle, if you want to catch it, you have to smoke it," Wen Guangli said.

  Wently glanced at this person and said: "You think I don't know? That's fine, you go do your work, and be careful that foreman Hu will deduct your wages, and then don't complain to me."

   "Uncle, you are really serious, why did you outsource this project to others?" When Wen Guangli mentioned this, he had some small opinions in his heart.

  Wen Xu said casually: "I really want to entrust it to you. Do you have the ability to organize people to clear the pond in such a big Qinglongwa? Besides, can you clear the pond!"

   After finishing speaking, Wen Xu didn't wait for Wen Guangli to answer. He turned to Wen Yuandong and said, "Yuandong, watch over here. Be careful not to let the snake in the cave escape. I'll find some firewood!"

  Wen Yuandong listened a little naughty: "Uncle, are you really going to eat it?"

"If you don't meet it, you won't eat it. If you don't eat it today, is it right for my good skill of burning snakes?" After speaking, Wen Nu turned her head and started to find dry grass and dead branches around. Now Wenxu's side is affected by the water in the space, and the vegetation is luxuriant. In addition, Wenxu has no habit of cleaning up. It is easy to find dead branches and dry grass. Within five minutes, Wenxu grabbed a lot of grass and returned to the entrance of the snake cave. .

  Closed half of the snake hole with hay, and pressed the hay tightly, Wen Nu turned his head and said to the surroundings: "Who has a lighter to borrow?"

Before Wen Xu could finish his words, a disposable lighter was handed to him, he reached out to take the lighter, picked up the fire starter made of hay and lit it, then returned the lighter, put the hay handle I took the straw in my hand, turned it around twice to let the grass handle burn, and then shook it twice, so that the flame on the handle was gone, and only the burned grass ash was left. Blowing with your mouth like this can still See the scarlet sparks.

  Put this kind of grass handle under the dead branch and start fanning it with your hands. After a few times, Wen Xu felt that his hands were a little weak, so he took off the straw hat on the head of the person closest to him.

   "Uncle, uncle, you took my hat, what should I do?"

"The weather in May is neither cold nor hot, what kind of hat do you wear, besides, you don't look the same whether you wear it or not. It's so dark anyway, so you might as well stop wearing a hat. Others have to think about whether to sunbathe or not. As for the black question, where can you go black like this?"

   As soon as these words came out, the people next to him burst into laughter.

  Taking someone else's hat, Wen Xu was still confident, took his straw hat and squatted at the entrance of the snake cave and began to fan it.

  With the help of the hat, the smoke from the pile of dead branches became thicker and thicker, and the smoke fanned into the snake hole also increased.

Zhuo Yiqing lay on the bull's back and stretched her head to see how enjoyable it was. Although she was a little afraid of snakes at first, driven by curiosity, she patted the white bull lightly, and the honest big white bull took a step forward. When they came to the shore, they naturally turned their heads and turned their bodies sideways so that Zhuo Yiqing, who was on her back, could watch the excitement.

  Many of the surrounding areas are crop handles. To put it bluntly, who in their forties has never planted land? Ten years ago, not every family in Wenjia Village played with walking tractors. Many people used big-gu cattle. They knew the natural nature of cattle. Now that white cattle can be so obedient, Zhuo Yiqing’s city The girls in the movie can be handled so smoothly, someone immediately sighed

   "Uncle, if this cow of yours was put in the past, it is estimated to sell for the price of a cow and a half. If you don't say anything else, you will know that it is a good cow if you look at its physique and obedient energy!"

   "Well, it's a pity that I was born late"

"It doesn't matter whether it's late or not. For me, it's just keeping it." Wen Xu fanned it vigorously while staring at the entrance of the cave. Now it's Guan Jian's time, so much smoke has entered the cave. Wen Xu feels that if there is smoke in the cave, If it is a snake, the snake will not last long.

  While Wen Xu was thinking about this, something suddenly popped out of the hole, and the sudden movement caused Wen Xu who was distracted from talking with others to subconsciously pause.

   "Uncle, it's out, catch it!"

   "Tail up!"

   Not only Wen Nu, but other people nearby also saw the snake coming out of the hole, and immediately shouted loudly.

  Wen Xu woke up quickly here, and instantly stretched out his hand to grab the snake's body. Not only did he use his hands, but he also stepped on the snake's tail.

But today Wen Xu probably went out and didn't read the almanac. He was very unlucky. He didn't even catch it twice. Even Wen Yuandong, who was standing next to him, joined in. Uncle and nephew couldn't catch the snake together. , let it escape back into the hole easily.

   "What a big man!"

  Wen Yuandong saw the snake clearly, so he said to Wen Xu: "Remove the skin and internal organs, at least there will be more than two catties of meat!"

   "Good luck today!"

   "Uncle, why don't you bring me one tonight?" Wen Yuandong said with a smile.

Wen Xu said directly: "Don't think about it. There may be several people in our family tonight. If you want to eat, wait for the next one. There must be more than one snake with such a big hole. Catch it by yourself Come on, I won't accept you here."

Hearing what Wen Xu said, Wen Yuandong also smiled and said that he was stingy. It is no problem to let Wen Yuandong catch and eat, but he can't do it alone. There are not many people in the whole village who can do this well. Few daughters and daughters-in-law will burn this. Not to mention Wenjia Village, everyone in the nearby villages knows that the red striped chain is delicious, but they have to be able to make it. If it is not done well, it will be less than half as delicious as rice field eel.

   "Here, return the hat to you!"

   Returning his hat, Wen Xu kicked half-burned dry grass and dry branches into the water, cleaned up the hole again, and borrowed a shovel to dig the hole bigger.

   Zhuo Yiqing looked at Wen Xu's movements and asked curiously: "Is this going to be a fire?"

   "Smoking is not enough. The red chain is so frightened that it won't come out even if it is smoked to death with fire. Now it has to be watered!" Wen Yuandong opened his mouth and explained.

At this time, Wen Xu had already rolled up his sleeves, rolled up his trouser legs to the crook of his legs, stood with his feet in the puddle, spread his legs apart, bent over with a basin in his hands and began to pour water at the entrance of the cave, because the entrance of the cave was dug by Wen Xu It became funnel-shaped, and most of the water in each basin flowed into the snake hole. The whole water-splashing project went smoothly.

   "Yuandong, I think it's almost done, don't let it run away this time!" Wen Xu poured a few more basins of water, and saw that the mud on the edge of the cave was not very drinkable, so he said to Yuandong who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

   "Uncle, keep splashing, I'm paying attention." Wen Yuandong stood at the entrance of the cave, half squatting and bowing his waist.

  Everyone has been catching this thing since they were young. Although they haven’t caught it for many years, the foundation is still there, and the feeling is there. Now all the conditions show that the snake is about to emerge.

After one or two pots of water went down, the snake in the cave finally resisted and jumped out. This time, the snake head was locked in the palm of Wen Yuandong's stretched out hand as soon as it came out of the cave, and the whole body of the snake was pulled out of the cave lightly. out.

  Even so, this fat red chain was still swinging and began to wrap around Wen Yuandong's arm, as if it was preparing for a contest of strength and a dying struggle.

Wen Xu saw that Wen Yuandong took the snake body off his arm, and was about to lift the tail to shake the snake, so he immediately stopped him and said, "Don't shake it, it will be fresh at night, and it will almost taste bad after you kill it." .

   "Uncle, it's not long until night!" Wen Yuandong stopped his hands after saying this.

Wen Xu asked someone to find a snakeskin bag, put the snake in it, and hung it on a small tree next to it, planning to take it back to the tooth-beating ceremony at night, while he continued chatting with Zhuo Yiqing while looking at the clear pond Engineering progress.

  Everyone worked hard, and Hu Xiangjun's command was also very appropriate. The location and amount of the designated filling were well grasped. Gradually, the mud dam that one person could do was stretched longer and longer, and it gradually meant to be closed.
