Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 73
Principal Liu was very happy when Xiao Lu agreed and went home to get tools.

Watching the principal go out, Lu Changhua felt a little guilty.

This year is the first Teacher's Day, and I am too busy to take care of it.

sin.

He added two more pieces of hardwood to the hearth, took down the boiling kettle, and placed it on the ground.

After getting dressed, I went to the warehouse to take out the ice suit, and carried it down to the reservoir.

The skaters in the distance were having fun.

People he knew greeted him from afar.

Lu Changhua also waved.

Snow-covered ice is not slippery.

He walked through the snow and headed towards the south side of the reservoir.

The water here is shallow and the ice is thick, relatively speaking, there is a lack of oxygen. Fish are more willing to come out of the water when the ice is opened.

After finding his position, Lu Changhua swept aside the snow on the ice with his feet, revealing the crystal clear ice.

Looking down, it was pitch black under the ice and nothing could be seen.

He used the ice piercer to mark a white dot on the ice, then spread his legs, tried it left and right, stood firm, held the cross handle of the ice piercer with both hands, aimed at the white spot under his feet, and plunged in.

Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk
The ice is so hard that every time the iron tip carves out a white spot on the ice.

Go ahead, it’s so hard!

I still don't believe it.

At this moment, he thought of Hu Dagui's good fortune.

Usually two people do this work, and it is too tiring for one person.

Just as he was trying his best to hit the ice, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Hey, Changhua, you didn't even call me if something happened? And you sent me away?!"

"I wipe!"

The ice in Lu Changhua's hand changed direction and almost hit his foot.

"Why are you back, kid?"

Lu Changhua was breathing heavily, and puffs of white smoke covered his hat with white frost.

"I met Principal Liu."

"You have a conscience and know how to come back to help."

Lu Changhua sat down in the snow next to him, his whole body steaming with heat. He wanted to take off his coat, but he was afraid of catching a cold from the wind, so he just endured it.

"I'll still come."

Hu Dagui came over, picked up the ice wear and started working on it.

"Come on, come on!"

Lu Changhua was so tired that his eyes turned green.

Looking at Hu Dagui's back, this boy has grown taller and stronger.

I wasn't short originally, just a little thin, but now I'm much thicker.

"It's time for you kid to put in some effort. You've gained a lot of weight this year."

"Really? No wonder my parents said I was fat. It seems they didn't lie to me."

Hu Dagui chiselled at the ice surface.

After all, he was stronger than Lu Changhua, and he cut down more than 20 centimeters in a short time.

Ice shards flew everywhere with each strike.

Lu Changhua moved his butt a few times, kicked his legs, and moved back more than one meter.

Ice shards splashed in front of his feet.

"I'll make a few more in a while. You can take some home and give them to Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu to try during the holidays."

"Hey, that's interesting enough."

"Oh, it seems like I've treated you badly!"

The two of them were playing with the shell while working.

Lu Changhua ran back to the duty room, took a shovel, and threw out the broken ice in the ice hole.

People on the ice rink saw the two cutting ice in the south, so they came over to watch the fun.

"I'll go, you guys come to see the joke? Do some work when you come!"

The boys were a little embarrassed when they saw this, so they took the ice piercing and started doing it.

In this round, Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui felt much more relaxed.

But the ice here is really thick, and the nearly one-meter-long ice cave has not yet been drilled through!

The people watching the excitement were bored and all left.

The two of them had to carry on by themselves.

"I estimate that it will be about forty or fifty centimeters."

"It's too deep to dig!"

"When you dig out steps, you have to stand on the steps below, otherwise how can you reach them?"

Lu Changhua said.

"Are you still going to dig steps? I'll go, you silly boy is exhausted."

Expand the ice cave again so that it can accommodate one person.

The ice cave, which was originally about fifty centimeters in diameter, is now one meter in diameter.

The chisel was level with the bottom of the ice cave. The two of them stood in the ice cave and dug further.

One person will chisel for 5 minutes and then have to take a break while the other person goes down to rub out the crushed ice and throw it outside.

Then gather the crushed ice on the ice to the side, leaving a place to stand.

When the two of them were sweating profusely and couldn't even put on their coats, Principal Liu came with Chu Luozi on his shoulders.

"Principal, you're here, the ice is too thick, it's really tiring for both of us."

Hu Dagui was breathing heavily while leaning on the ice.

Lu Changhua stuck out his butt and rubbed up the crushed ice from the ice cave.

Principal Liu came closer carrying Chu Luozi.

"You haven't beaten it through yet?"

"No, but it's coming soon."

Lu Changhua said.

This is a big ice cave within a small ice cave.

"I'll go down and fight for a while."

Principal Liu volunteered.

"I'll still come."

Hu Dagui stopped the old man. It would be a big sin if he flashed his waist.

When he goes down, he will pass through the ice.

A stream of clear water came out.

"Out of the water, out of the water."

Principal Liu shouted excitedly.

"Dagui, be careful." Lu Changhua was afraid that Hu Dagui would be careless.

"rest assured."

Hu Dagui followed this water outlet and expanded it bit by bit.

More and more water is flooding.

He also cut through the ice faster. "Plop"

This time the bottom ice was knocked off, and the ice penetrated into the water.

"Quickly, expand the hole, it will be too late soon."

If the entire ice cave is filled with water, it will be impossible to drill through the ice, and the holes below are too small for fish to get out. What's the use of just having water? !They are not here to fetch water either.

"Quick, quick."

Lu Changhua and Principal Liu kept shouting cheers outside.

Hu Dagui chipped away at the ice.

The holes in the ice are getting bigger and bigger, and water is rushing up.

"Come up quickly."

"pull me!"

Hu Dagui was also panicked.

Lu Changhua and Principal Liu pulled his arms up from left to right.

As soon as he came out, water filled the entire ice cave.

Water splashed in the ice cave.

Crunch~Gah~~
The ice surface groaned horribly.

The three of them stood in front of the ice cave, all a little nervous.

After a few rings, there was no movement on the ice.

Lu Changhua thought that the ice cave should have relieved the pressure inside the ice layer and caused the ice layer to fall back.

The three of them were looking at the ice cave when suddenly the water splashed and splashed, and a big fish about a foot long jumped out of the water and hit the ice.

"Huh? There's fish!"

Before the exclamations could end, fish jumped out of the ice cave one after another.

Fish of different lengths crackled on the ice, their gills opened and closed, their tails slapped against the ice, and some fish jumped back.

But there were too many fish jumping out, blocking their way of escape.

When the breeze blows, the fish on the ice instantly freeze.

"Quick, throw it into the snow."

They threw down their tools, circled the fish on the ice, and paddled into the snow outside.

Pick it up by hand?
It was simply too late.

Use your feet to pull.

It didn't take much, and the snow next to me was filled with big frozen fish.

There are many types of fish.

Carp, crucian carp, melon seeds, silver carp, silver carp, grass carp.

The point is, it makes people worry when it keeps popping up.

"Enough is enough!"

Principal Liu stood at the entrance of the cave, shouting and kicking the fish, in a hurry.

"Principal, just let it bounce. It's almost the Chinese New Year."

Lu Changhua was very happy looking at the catches all over the ground.

Hu Dagui was so busy that he had no time to chat.

I practiced shadowless kicks by the cave.

"Don't kick it too far, you won't be able to find it for a while."

"Okay, I'll restrain myself."

This kid had a smile on his face.

The fish jumping in the ice cave lasted for half an hour and finally stopped.

The skaters in the distance stopped skating and came over to watch the fun.

"Go back, be careful not to fall into the ice hole."

As soon as Principal Liu spoke, these people dispersed.

A few adults looked greedy and stared at the entrance of the cave.

Lu Changhua casually picked up a few fish on the snow and stuffed them into their hands.

"Brothers, let's go back and cook. It's the festival soon."

"Oh, thank you Xiao Lu!"

They immediately beamed with joy, hugged the fish and left reluctantly.

"Dagui, go to the library and get the knitting bag. By the way, bring the horse needles too."

Hu Dagui took Bing Chuan and Principal Liu back to the duty room, where Lu Changhua was guarding.

After a while, the two came back with a large bag of woven bags.

"Principal, you take your pick."

"Then, I'm welcome."

"You're welcome, Dagui is helping the principal pick the fish."

"no problem."

Soon, they picked four big carp.

Looking at the size, none of them weigh less than four or five pounds.

"Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough."

As he spoke, Principal Liu touched his body.

"Take two more. Dagui, put them on the principal."

"Hey, that's enough, I can't eat anymore."

"Isn't it the Spring Festival? Take it."

Hu Dagui stuffed a big carp into each of the principal's two woven bags.

"Changhua, I'll give you twenty, just for the sake of it, don't think it's too little."

Principal Liu took out a few bills.

"No, I won't accept your money. I gave these fish to you. Take them away."

"Hey, how can that be done? Just take it, don't take it too little."

"Principal, I didn't even have time to visit you on Teacher's Day this year, so this is just my condolences."

"This……"

"Dagui, help the principal carry the fish home!"

"Hey, principal, this is Changhua's idea. Don't be polite to him. That's how others do."

"Look at this..."

Principal Liu was really embarrassed. He came here to buy fish. Why did he get the fish for free after he had put so much effort into catching it? !
Hu Dagui picked up the large horse needle, sealed the mouth of the woven bag with three strokes, picked up the bag and left.

Principal Liu had no choice but to thank him repeatedly, and Lu Changhua put another woven bag on his shoulder.

Principal Liu picked up his stirrup and chased Hu Dagui in front of him.

Alas, just pretend to be a fish slowly.

Lu Changhua filled all the woven bags and sealed each bag.

Each bag contains three or four fish, weighing more than ten kilograms.

These woven bags were piled up in the snow like a city wall. He checked and found that there were 38 bags.
