Chapter 24 Give the fish some time
Without wasting any effort to convince anyone, Xia Weiwei taught everyone to compile the first type of fish basket according to everyone's wishes, and then, after everyone successfully compiled a batch, let everyone play it alone.
In order of order, Xia Weiwei checked one after another. When she confirmed that there was no big problem with the fish baskets that everyone had completed alone, she asked the men to suspend the construction, put the bait first, and put the fish baskets into the water.
Because men can get into the water, and because more fish are far away from the water shore, these fish baskets are not pulled with straw ropes, but are made of reed stalks as float marks.
At that time, the men can go to the target and transport the increased weight fish basket through the buoyancy of the reed buoy.
"Everyone is already skilled, so I'll go back first." Xia Weiwei stood up after checking another batch of finished fish baskets.
I knew the child was anxious, and no one stopped her.
"Eat first." Aoki explained.
Compared to not having enough fish in the severe winter, hunger or two is nothing.
If you didn't say you should eat first, don't be hungry, Xia Weiwei said straight: "Dad Aoki, don't worry about me."
"Go." Aoki nodded with a smile.
Back at the trap, Xia Weiwei did not rush to dig the trap, but after drinking a few sips of water, she opened the taro leaves and took out the lotus root.
While eating, she picked up the lotus root nodes scattered by the men. After picking them up, she was full.
After drinking a few more sips of water, Xia Weiwei began to dig the trap. After half a day, she spent the process of digging the trap and moving the red paste mud.
Compared to the fish basket, the trap is more suitable for her. It is better to gather the better red paste mud you took out into a piece and use it in order to make it easier for her to use it.
"Huh~"
Another trap was completed, Xia Wei turned her head slightly to look at the sky, and the sun was about to set, and she hesitated for a moment.
Finally, she felt that the twenty-one traps and three fish baskets were enough, so she kneaded the remaining fish gills and sprinkled them into the lake water, and then transferred the red paste mud that was dug out to the mud pile.
After cleaning it, Xia Weiwei ate and drank slowly. After filling her stomach, she pulled the grass and rubbed the straw rope.
When Xia Weiwei appeared in front of everyone with a bundle of lotus roots on her boss's back, everyone who made fish baskets around the five fires burst into laughter unconsciously.
"You kid, why do you do memorize so much?" Qingmei quickly stood up without caring about work.
Turning around and asking Qingmei's mother to help take off the lotus root on her back. Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "Read more at a time and you can run twice less."
I have forgotten that the men ran to the water with lotus roots in the morning. When Qingmei heard Xia Weiwei say this, her eyebrows frowned even more: "You dug this?"
Hearing the distress carried by Qingmei's words, Xia shook her head slightly: "No, it's all the uncles and those who were thrown down in the morning."
Knowing that the lotus root was not dug by the child, he also remembered the men who came back from digging lotus roots in the morning. Qingmei's expression was obviously looser. Looking back, she asked Qingmu: "Would you like to eat something or what to say."
Looking at the extremely tired appearance of her woman, Qingmei didn't sleep all night last night, and she thought she was too hungry to bear it. Aoki blamed herself.
He only cares about making more fish baskets, but ignores the ability of women and children to bear.
"You can bring people to bring the lotus roots that everyone took out in the morning, and then you can go in and rest."
Without an immediate answer, Qingmei turned to the pile of women.
Seeing Qingmei looking over, Hazelnut looked at the people around him, and then said, "Sister Qingmei, I'm not tired, I can stay for a while."
"Qingmei, I can stay for a while."
"How about this, Qingmei, go with the children to get the lotus roots, and then take the children in to rest."
The women who noticed that the state of Qingmei was not forced to do anything, and they said that they could still persevere, but they were as nervous as they were. How could they feel relieved when they were anxious?
With a flash of eyes, Xia lowered her eyes slightly and said quietly: "My Qingmei, I left the waterside yesterday when the sun was still high."
Upon hearing this, he was about to arrange for his son to get the green plum, which was obviously puzzled: "?"
It’s not that they are anxious about how anxious they are. So, what do she want to express when she says this even though they are so anxious?
He glanced at Qingmei carefully, and Xia Wei lowered her head slightly: "The fish are going to sleep at night."
"What then?" Qingmei felt even more confused.
Everyone knows that fish can sleep, and of course, we also know that some fish are active at night.
But the fish are in the water and they are on the shore. Whether they sleep or not, they cannot affect the fish?
When Qingmei turned her eyes to the fire, she suspected that Xia Weiwei's words were saying that the fire would affect the fish's sleep.
"Aque, do you think that night is not the time for fish to prey?" After a sudden change of thought, Aoki asked directly: "Do you think we can't catch fish no matter how many fish baskets we make?"
She didn't dare to say this, but Qingmei's mother was in a bad condition: "I left yesterday with a fish basket, so I was a little worried that you would disturb the fish when you entered and exit, so that they would not dare to get close to the food."
Although each fish basket is a distance apart, the fish are so easily frightened. If you want to gain more, you should face all the fish species in the lake, not some.
It’s already dark, and if you want to make up for it, you can only try to get the time before most fish go to bed.
No one mentioned that no one could remember this kind of problem, but someone woke up so little and suddenly felt that the matter was serious.
As soon as his face changed, Grandpa Kezi immediately said: "Aoki, we still have lotus roots."
Lotus root is the greatest confidence for them to bet on this game. With lotus root, they don’t have to worry about starving to death in the severe winter if they can’t catch fish.
Since you don’t have to worry about starving to death, then you don’t have to worry.
Suddenly, Aoki felt relaxed: "I've been tired for a day, so everyone can go in and rest."
"Aoki?" asked the man who had not turned around.
Pushing the half-woven fish basket, Aoki stood up: "Although lotus roots are not as good as fish meat, we at least don't have to worry about starving to death. Although there are more fish baskets, the better, but no matter how many fish baskets there are, what's the use of not getting any harvest."
"Uh." That's the truth.
After Aoki's explanation, no one insisted on taking the branches and straw ropes into the weaving process. Because of his statement, everyone's originally nervous mood calmed down.
"By the way, if these two hundred and fourteen fish baskets can be harvested, even if there is only one fish in one, there must be two hundred and fourteen."
"I think this fish basket will definitely not have only one if there is any harvest."
"I think so too, either, we are as lucky as A Que, or, A Que is better than us."
"It's because I'm confident."
Whether it is a trap or a fish basket, it is just a temporary uprising for the child. Without many experiments, it is nothing more than a lotus root in your heart.
