After dawn.

The Yan family started to be bustling again, and the villagers came one after another to continue the unfinished work yesterday, and the number of people who came today was significantly higher than yesterday, because the villagers who got the wages yesterday had confirmed that Yan Xiao Kai is not fooled, as long as you work for him, you can really get paid.

One hundred and fifty a day, that's the meat money of the villagers' family for a week or two, and there are good cigarettes, wine, tea, and food. Once this live advertisement is published, who would not be idle here?

When Yan Xiaokai got up and covered Zheng Peilin's face, both of them looked a little uncomfortable, but there was also a tacit understanding of secrets, pretending that nothing happened in front of others, and behind... Zheng Peilin secretly pinched Yan Xiaokai vigorously!

After a simple breakfast, everyone set off!

why go?

Naturally, I went to the river to see the crab trap set up yesterday.

When they arrived on the river, his cousin Yan Lizhong was already waiting for them by the bank in a boat.

But when boarding the boat and setting off, Yan Lizhong said to Yan Xiaokai: "Xiaokai, you have to be mentally prepared, I'm afraid there isn't even a single crab in the crab pods you packed!"

The cold water was poured on it before it even started, Yan Xiaokai was fine, he just smiled lightly, but Zheng Peilin was not happy, "Uncle Yan, why do you dare to be so sure?"

Yan Lizhong smiled and said: "I have been fishing and crabbing on this river for nearly ten years. Where are there crabs and when are there more crabs? Can I not know? I didn't use crabs like this many years ago. Because there are so few crabs that can be caught. If you put it in for a few days, you may still catch three to five catties, but now it’s only a night’s work, let alone three to five catties, three to five catties is not bad. Funny Yes, you still bring so many baskets, do you really think this is the autumn harvest for rice?"

Zheng Peilin was so depressed that she stopped talking, but Yan Xiaokai said with a smile: "Uncle, let's see if we find out later!"

Not long after, the boat approached the first water area where crabs were set.

Before the boat stopped, Yan Xiaokai had already taken out one of the stacked baskets.

Yan Lizhong asked suspiciously: "Xiao Kai, what are you doing?"

Yan Xiaokai thought for a while and said, "Pretend to be a crab!"

Yan Lizhong laughed with a "goo", "Are there so many crabs? The twenty crabs you put down can fill a small pocket, so you're going to laugh!"

Yan Xiaokai smiled calmly, "Look!"

Yan Lizhong said disdainfully: "Let's take a look. I have seen a lot of times when the bamboo basket fetches water, but how much water can be filled in this basket is up to Yan Xiaokai."

The boat finally sailed to the side of the crab, Yan Lizhong stopped the boat, took a closer look, and found that the water surrounded by the crab was very turbid, and the rolling water waves rolled up from below.

Yan Lizhong couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Hey, did you get some big fish? Why is the water so muddy? But logically speaking, fish can't get in!"

While he was talking to himself, Yan Xiaokai had already taken off his clothes, was about to go into the water, and looked at Bi Yuntao and Ximen Yaoming beside him.

To be honest, Bi Yuntao had the same thoughts as Yan Lizhong, and he was not optimistic about this matter at all, but now that Yan Xiaokai clearly indicated that he would follow him into the water, what else could he do but take off his clothes too.

Although Ximen Yaoming was a little afraid that there would be leeches in the water, but seeing that both of them were taking off their clothes and looking at him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take off his clothes. On the fish pond, I saw the village girl who was gone.

After a while, the three elders took off their briefs. Hu Shubao and Zheng Peilin turned their faces away in embarrassment. Only then turned around.

The three of them swam to the side of the crab pot, and Bi Yuntao went to pick up one of the crab pots first.

He originally thought that the crab basket would be light and empty, but who knew that when he started to use it, he found it was so heavy that he couldn't even lift it up.

what's the situation?

There are stones in the basket!

"Hey, Mr. Ximen, hurry up and help me!"

Following Bi Yuntao's call, Ximen Yaoming also swam over, and the two of them exerted their strength together, and with a "crash", the crab basket sunk in the crab pods was lifted up.

Everyone looked at the crab pot in unison, and immediately they were all stunned.

Inside the crab basket, there are actually all crabs, large and small.

They are densely packed into a pile, struggling to escape, and the sound of "swiping" claws can be heard from a long distance away.

In such an unexpected situation, not only Bi Yuntao and Ximen Yaoming were dumbfounded, but even Yan Lizhong, who had been fishing for a living on the river for many years, was shocked, "This, this, how is this possible?"

Hu Shubao on the side was also stunned, "Yes, it's impossible, why are there so many crabs?"

Zheng Peilin was so excited, "Okay, ok, I caught a crab!"

Ximen Yaoming also laughed, "Haha, we have something to eat at noon!"

Bi Yuntao threw the crab basket onto the boat and went to lift another one. As soon as he picked it up, he found that it was in the same situation as before. up.

Without exception, the crab baskets are full of crawling crabs.

The remaining crab pot was in exactly the same situation, and when it was lifted, it was also full of crabs.

After all these crab baskets were thrown onto the boat, Yan Lizhong hurriedly poured the crabs into the baskets. Although the size of the crabs varied from one to two to three to three, they were all extremely vigorous. Baskets and baskets ran away one after another.

The crabs from the three crab baskets were poured in, and more than half of the basket was filled.

Seeing this, Yan Lizhong couldn't help but take a deep breath, because most of the baskets of crabs cost thousands of dollars, let alone sold by the catty.

Surprised, Yan Lizhong grabbed a relatively large one, and quickly covered the basket with a cover, then lifted up the crab in his hand to take a closer look. It had a green back, white belly, yellow hair, and golden claws, and it was indeed this crab. River crabs in the river.

Yan Lizhong was puzzled, when he used to hunt crabs, he would catch at most three or five crabs in two or three days, but when Yan Xiao opened the crabs, he caught dozens of catties in just one night.

This is really incredible, too unbelievable!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really thought it was a dream!

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Zheng Peilin couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle, what do you say now? How much water does this basket hold?"

Yan Lizhong made a big fuss, and murmured: "Damn it, it's a damned thing. I've been here for such a long time, and I've never seen so many crabs. What's going on?"

Hu Shubao followed suit and said, "Yes, logically speaking, it's impossible!"

After Bi Yuntao in the water threw three crab baskets up, he was about to go ashore.

Who knew that he was dragged back by Yan Xiaokai just after swimming, "Brother Tao, why are you going?"

Bi Yuntao said: "Get on board!"

Yan Xiaokai pointed to the turbid waters inside the crab pod, "I haven't finished catching the crabs here, what kind of boat are you on?"

Bi Yuntao said in surprise: "There are more?"

Yan Xiaokai nodded, then picked up a pocket with a handle and looked inside, immediately picked up several crabs, "Look!"

Bi Yuntao was speechless, but Ximen Yaoming clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, there are more here! Come on, give me a bag, I want to catch crabs too!"

The two asked the people on the boat to hand over their pockets, and they salvaged them together with Yan Xiaokai.

After about half an hour, the crabs in the crab pods were almost gone, and the two of them boarded the boat.

When I got on the boat, I saw that just this one crab had caught a whole basket full of crabs, and there were a little more crabs. A rough estimate showed that there were seven or eight hundred crabs. That is to say, only this one The crabs caught by Xie Duan can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Looking at this basket full of crabs, Yan Lizhong is really envious and jealous, because if he had Yan Xiaokai's half... no, half of half and half and half of luck, he would have been confused. up!

After clearing the crab, everyone followed the boat to another water area where crab traps were set.

Coincidentally, the crabs here are the same as the one just now. Not only are the crab baskets full of crabs, but there are also many crabs in the waters of the crabs.

When the twenty or so crabs were all cleaned up, the basket Yan Xiaokai brought was already full, and there was not enough to hold it. Yan Lizhong donated several snakeskin sacks to barely hold it.

There are so many crabs that weigh a hundred catties. If they are sold in the market, they will cost tens of thousands in terms of catty weight!

Yan Lizhong was really stunned, looking at the baskets of crabs, he stood there completely dumbfounded, "Oh my God, Kaizi, what method did you use to make all these crabs crawl into your crab stalks?" where?"

Yan Xiaokai smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, I'm just lucky!"

Yan Lizhong said: "Nonsense, I have been struggling here for so long, when did I have such luck?"

Zheng Peilin interjected at the right time: "Uncle, this is called the same person with different fate, the same fate with different disease!"

Yan Lizhong smiled wryly and was speechless.

When the fishing boat returned triumphantly with a full load of crabs, the small truck that transported the crabs yesterday was already waiting on the shore, Yan Xiaokai and the others worked together to put all the crabs back on the truck and headed home.

When I got home, Yan's father and mother, who had received a phone call from Yan Xiaokai early, had already disinfected and added water to the pool that had been brewed yesterday.

Yan Xiaokai poured all the crabs into several large water tanks in front of the door, and then taught everyone to distinguish between male and female. In fact, it is very easy to separate. No matter what kind of crab, the other side of the hard shell is the belly, the belly There is a cover in the middle of the umbilicus, which is scientifically called the umbilicus. The female umbilicus is round, while the male umbilicus is pointed.

After teaching everyone how to separate males and females, Yan Xiaokai asked them to separate males and females.

He himself went into the house, found the basket where he went up to the mountain to collect herbs yesterday, found a few beads of green grass from it, put them in the Gu and started to tinker...
