Happy Fishing Village

Chapter 112 Digging Lotus Roots

At Wang Hai's house, it took only one day to finish it, while at Wang Qiang's house, it took more than two days.

However, due to the recent drought, there is no rain, so don't worry about plowing the land, just wait for a while.

"Haizi, let's go and dig lotus roots."The lotus roots in Yuanbao Lake have matured, and it's time to dig them. Many villagers are carrying tools and wearing fishing clothes, ready to dig the lotus roots.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get something."After a while, Wang Hai followed him out.

"There are still a lot of people."When we arrived at Yuanbao Lake, many people were already digging, some from our own village and some from Chenjiagou. However, the two villages were clearly separated from each other.

"Brother Haizi, Brother Qiangzi, this way."Wang Yong came a long time ago, and when he saw the two of them coming, he shouted loudly.

Wang Yong was pushing a small boat, wearing fishing clothes, and his face was covered with mud, but the harvest was not small. There were already a bunch of them on the boat.

There are a lot of lotus roots in Yuanbao Lake, which cannot be dug up every year, and will regenerate in the next year, so there are no restrictions, as long as you are willing to dig hard, it is yours.

The growth period of lotus root is generally only two months, so after autumn, until the spring of the next year, it is the time to dig the lotus root. Besides, the lotus root will not be damaged in the water.

In fact, lotus roots can be dug from around August, but at that time the temperature is high and the market demand is small, so few people dig at that time, usually after late autumn, when the CIA starts to dig lotus roots.

Because the lotus root juice is fragile and easy to break, machine operation is not feasible, and manual operation is still used.

Generally, lotus roots are positioned by stepping on them. Make sure where there are lotus roots under your feet, then hold them with both hands, shake them slowly, and loosen them. It is best not to break them, otherwise, if they are filled with mud, the taste will be bad. The price is natural. It is also greatly discounted.

"Damn it, it broke."Wang Qiang held the lotus root with both hands, and it loosened back and forth. I don't know if it was too strong, but it was broken from the middle, which is a pity.

Don't look at Wang Yongxiao, among the three, he is the most proficient. After a while, a whole lotus root came out, washed the mud in the water, and then threw it into the boat.

Wang Hai finally dug out one, and said: "I heard that now people use high-pressure water guns to dig lotus roots in some places. After determining the location of the lotus root, just spray it with a high-pressure water gun to wash away the mud. , and then the lotus root comes out very easily, cross-border, and the lotus root that comes out is very clean."

For the sake of speed, the lotus root on the boat was only roughly washed, and there was still a lot of mud on it.

"I'll make one when I turn back."Wang Qiang has a carefree temper and can't do this kind of delicate and light work, so he is the slowest in digging the lotus root and has the most defective products.

Hearing what Wang Hai said, I wanted to decide on one, how handsome it is.

"Really, then I want one too, it will be much faster to dig the lotus root."Wang Yong was also moved, the more he dug, the more money he would sell!

"Don't buy it, go to work on my big ship when you turn around, and you will do less of these jobs in the future."Wang Hai reminded that if the big fishing boats go out to sea often, you have time to get these.

"makes sense".Wang Yong scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't move, Yuko, bring me leather gloves."Wang Hai suddenly felt that he stepped on a guy, a soft-shelled turtle.

Because he didn't know the front and back, Wang Hai didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise, if you stretched out your hand and it was in front of the turtle, it would take a bite directly, and you would be out of luck.

When Wang Hai was an apprentice, the turtle that had been killed was bitten when it was being cleaned, and it was all broken.

Now it is alive, if it really takes a bite, it will be troublesome.

Wang Hai put the glove on the finger, covered it with a twig, and slowly stretched it over.Hearing a click, the glove was bitten, Wang Hai took the opportunity to make a hasty move, and directly fished the turtle out.

"Good guy, not too young."Wang Qiang exclaimed, this turtle must not weigh more than three catties, and the turtle is still biting the glove and not letting go.

Wang Yong looked envious. Wild turtles are very expensive now. Just one can be sold for eight or nine hundred. If you go to a big city, there will be more.

"Haizi, why don't we stew it at night."Wang Qiang said greedily, this soft-shelled turtle is a great tonic, especially for men.

Farmed ones may not feel it, but wild ones, it is very obvious.

"You have a girlfriend"?Wang Hai sneered and asked, after eating this, it was hot at night, how do you solve it?

"Then, let's forget it, or you can keep it in your pool, and we will eat it after I find a girlfriend."Wang Qiang said cheekily, anyway, I am determined.

Wang Yong was snickering there, he also knew the power of wild turtles.

They were wet and dirty, so the three of them simply ate some bread, drank a bottle of mineral water, and continued.

"Ah, there are snakes, and there are water-snakes."Suddenly, a villager next to him shouted loudly.

Wang Hai looked up, and sure enough, not far away, a water snake was swimming towards it with a thin line.

It all depends on the individual, even if they are all fishermen, there are quite a few people who are afraid of snakes, and some water snakes are poisonous.

"Look at me".Wang Qiang directly used the bamboo pole to fly the water snake out, and then swam in another direction.

"Fuck, Chen Shu, is it your fault?"When Wang Qiang picked up the flying water snake, he saw Chen Shu and the others laughing and hiding behind the big willow tree.

"So what, come and chase me!"Chen Shu said arrogantly, anyway, you are in the mud now, and you are wearing thick fishing clothes, you can't catch up with me at all.

"you sure"?Wang Hai looked at Chen Shu with a half-smile.

"You, come up if you have the ability."Chen Shu was a little flustered by the sight, but with so many people watching, he couldn't lose his momentum.

It's just that Wang Hai just walked onto the shore, Chen Shu and his gang scared Juin away, and kept looking back to see if Wang Hai was really chasing him.

"Haha, I just want to make it easier, why are you running?"Wang Hai laughed, and then went to the toilet for convenience.

"You, you, Wang Hai, you wait, don't let me catch you, hum."After Chen Shu spoke harshly, he took Brother Dou and the others and ran away to harm others.

"A group of idiots".Wang Hai scolded, what age is it now, and you are still learning from street bastards, now making money is the kingly way, as long as you have money, farting is delicious.

Going around now, I will regret it later, regret myself, how much time I wasted.

Wang Hai frowned. He didn't know what Chen Youmin was thinking, but let his son mess around like this?Don't care?
