Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 59

Ye Zhengfang said, "We fish almost all in river bends. Generally speaking, all river bends are places where fish like to gather."

Chen Yang said, "The river you mentioned has too many bends. Every river is full of twists and turns, and there are thousands of bends. How can you tell which bends have fish?"

"First, the more curved the river bend, the more fish there are. Second, the river bend with more rapid current has less fish. Third, the bend with more aquatic plants has more fish, and the bend with less aquatic grass has fewer fish. Live fish, shallow river bends can keep fish. Fifth, there are more fish in river bends with high water temperature, and fewer fish in river bends with low water temperature..."

Chen Yang listened and memorized.

"Brother Yang, remember a trick. Every time you come to a bend in the river, if you see that the water is slightly turbid, or there are some bubbles on the water surface, there must be fish in this bend."

After talking about the right time and place, there is still harmony between people.

Ye Zhengfang rolled the boat to the next bend of the river, observed it, "Brother Yang, come and cast the net."

Chen Yang climbed out from the middle cabin, took the fishing net, imitated what Ye Zhengfang did just now, and threw the fishing net out vigorously.

Ye Zhengfang crouched there, laughing out loud like a pig.

Because the fishing net that Chen Yang cast out was rolled into balls before it fell into the water.

Chen Yang was also quick-witted, and his reaction was so quick that he took the fishing net back abruptly before it fell into the water.

After fixing the fishing net again, Chen Yang cast the fishing net out again.

This time it was okay, the fishing net was spread wide, and the four sides of the fishing net entered the water almost at the same time.

Ye Zhengfang counted, "One, two, three, four, five, close the net."

Chen Yang closed the net immediately.

Fortunately, this net caught a white lotus fish, two fat head fish and five crucian carp.

Chen Yang was motivated, and learned to cast a few more nets, but the harvest was very little, and two of the nets failed.

"Brother Yang, it's time for me to sell fish, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Another day. I have to go home and discuss it with my family. If they agree, I can go down the river."

"That's fine. I'll come to you again tomorrow afternoon."

The small fishing boat docked, and Chen Yang went home.

During dinner, Chen Yang told the whole family what he thought.

The second brother, Chen Bing, was the first to agree, "Brother, I support you, and I will follow you down the river."

Chen Yang said, "I'm going down the river alone. Third child, I've discussed it with grandpa. You go learn to be a carpenter and learn from grandpa's apprentice."

Chen Bing didn't want to be a carpenter, "Grandpa, is this settled?"

Grandpa nodded and said, "Bing, you are 14 years old. If you learn a craft, you will not be hungry in the future, and you will have food for the rest of your life."

Chen Bing muttered: "Brother, you have to promise me. If there is a big business in the future, I will come back and follow you."

"It's no problem." Chen Yang agreed wholeheartedly.

The eldest sister, Chen Ping, said, "Brother, I heard from adults that going down the river is very hard. If you can do something else, don't go down the river."

Grandma and mother also persuaded Chen Yang.

Chen Yang asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

Grandpa thought for a while, "When there is nothing to eat, the grass roots can be full. Although this job is hard, most people can't learn it, and can do it longer. Yang, why don't you do it first, and you will have other good jobs in the future. Just transfer."

Grandpa is highly respected and has far-sighted eyes. What he said is like a final word.

The next day, the Chen family had a lot of things to do.

In the morning, grandpa sent his second grandson, Chen Bing, to Hengfeng Street, where his best apprentice was working, and he wanted to deliver Chen Bing to him personally.

Also brought ten dollars.Among them, eight yuan is directly used as a gift for apprenticeship.

Brothers, settle accounts clearly, disciples, also respect etiquette.

Grandpa understands the world and people, and with the eight yuan apprentice ceremony, his apprentice dare not take Chen Bing seriously.

In the afternoon, grandpa went to buy a boat, and Chen Yang got off Ye Zhengfang's boat.
