The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 16 Fishing Rod
"Father, can you catch fish?" Nuo'er suddenly ran behind Yao Yu and asked.

Xie Zhimo's eyes lit up, "I can do this."

Yao Yu didn't expect Xie Zhimo to make fishing rods, so he was overjoyed, "Really? What materials do you need?" If you don't know how much money it will cost to buy a fishing rod, if Xie Zhimo can make it, you can save this money, of course It is good.

"For the bamboo poles on the mountain, you can just find one that is about this thick." Xie Zhimo compared the size with his hands, "It's better to be straight."

"I'll go early tomorrow morning."

Early in the morning, Yao Yu ran to Xie's kitchen, took a sickle and went up the mountain while there was no one there.

There is a bamboo forest at the bottom of the mountainside of Beishan. Yao Yu ran there directly and began to pick out the bamboo. The bamboo Xie Zhimo said was too thin, so it must be because she has little strength. big.

Yao Yu searched around for a few times, and finally chose a bamboo pole that she could handle, but there were no straight bamboo poles in the bamboo forest, so this one was considered the best.

Yao Yu cut the bamboo in threes and fives, and began to move it home. In fact, the fishing rod does not need to be so long, but Yao Yu didn’t know if Xie Zhimo would use the extra bamboo rods for other things, so he just moved them all back. It's okay to use it as firewood master.

Xie Zhimo was relieved to see Yao Yu bring back a two-person bamboo pole. When Yao Yu left in the morning, he forgot to mention that he needed a piece of bamboo to make a fishhook, but seeing that Yao Yu made such a long pole Bamboo, Xie Zhimo was still a little surprised, "Why did you choose such a thick one?"

"You can catch big fish." Yao Yu said, "Besides, I can handle it too."

Xie Zhimo stretched out and was about to pick up the bamboo, but Yao Yu hurriedly avoided, "I'll do it after your leg is healed."

Xie Zhimo smiled and said, "You only use your hands to make a fishing rod, and I don't move my legs. Don't worry, you'll be fine." Seeing Yao Yu's doubts, Xie Zhimo went on to say, "If I need anything, I'll ask you and Nuoer to get it. His legs don't move."

Only then did Yao Yu hand him the bamboo pole, "Don't do it if you don't feel well, it's not in a hurry anyway."

"Okay." Xie Zhimo raised his hand to promise.

Bamboo can only be used as a fishing rod, and Yao Yu can't afford the fishing line at the moment, so he can only trouble Sister Feng Zhen again, and Yao Yu goes to Li's house.

Wang Fengzhen came out quickly, "Sister, I haven't seen you for several days."

Yao Yu was a little embarrassed, "I'll trouble Sister Feng Zhen whenever I have something to do."

"What are you talking about? Tell me what happened." Wang Fengzhen said bluntly. Li Dalin's mother had always objected to Wang Fengzhen and Yao Yu getting too close. A good thing, last time Li Dalin bought a lock for Yao Yu, he got two more coppers. Since then, Li Dalin's mother has no longer objected to Wang Fengzhen and Yao Yu's association.

"I want to borrow a fishing line from Sister Feng Zhen," Yao Yu said.

"I have a lot of fishing lines at home. If you want to borrow them, you wait, and I'll get them out for you right away." After a while, Wang Fengzhen took out a fishing line.

Yao Yu accepted it gratefully, and Wang Fengzhen then asked, "Do you need anything else?"

Yao Yu hesitated, and said, "Does Sister Fengzhen have any spare knives?"

Wang Fengzhen was taken aback, but there was only one knife, "We probably finish eating at Shen Shi, can you come and get it at Shen Shimo?"

Yao Yu nodded, as long as it is useful, "Then thank you, Sister Fengzhen."

After borrowing the fishing line and returning home, I saw Xie Zhimo roasting the bamboo pole with a fire, and then pressed the bricks left over from the previous wall on the bamboo pole. Xie Zhimo split the fishing pole to the same length as Yao Yu's for Yao Yu's convenience.

Xie Zhimo picked up the remaining half of the bamboo pole, cut a short section, divided the bamboo into three forks, and then roasted it to shape it, and a fishhook was formed.

Yao Yu was stunned. It turns out that the fishing rod is made in this way. It seems very simple, but every force should be just right, otherwise the whole bamboo will be useless if you chop it.

Xie Zhimo made all the extra bamboo into fishhooks in one go, so that the hooks would be useless if they were bitten off by fish.

After Xie Zhimo finished everything, he looked up and found that Yao Yu came back at some time, and seemed to be staring at him all the time, Xie Zhimo was a little embarrassed, "Do it, it's done."

Yao Yu was also a little embarrassed, who knew that he was fascinated by watching Xie Zhimo make a fishing rod, "This is a fishing line, can you see if it works?"

The fishing line Wang Fengzhen gave was the best in the village. Xie Zhimo took the fishing line, fixed it on the fishing rod, and wrapped it around the hook. A fishing rod was considered ready.

Yao Yu picked up the fishing rod and couldn't put it down. Although this fishing rod was not as good as one-tenth of the one she used in her previous life, she still liked it very much. "Nuoer, mother is going to go fishing by the river, do you want to go?"

"Go!" Nuo'er sat next to Xie Zhimo all afternoon, just to listen to Xie Zhimo's dispatch, which was explained by Yao Yu. Although he wanted to go out to play several times, he still held back.

"Then you have a rest, I'll take Nuoer to the riverside." Yao Yu said.

Xie Zhimo nodded, he was indeed a little tired.

Yao Yu took Nuo'er and took the bamboo basket to the east end, where there were few people and not many people passed by. Yao Yu first found a few earthworms in the ground and used them as bait.

After a while, some fish took the bait, but Yao Yu obviously failed to adapt to this fishing rod, so when Yao Yu pulled up the fishing rod, the fish had already run away and disappeared.After a quarter of an hour like this, Yao Yu got used to the fishing rod and successfully caught one. Nuoer saw the fish coming up and shouted, "Mother is great!"

"When your father is well, ask your father to make you a fishing rod." Yao Yu said with a smile, Nuoer's temperament is calm, and he is the most suitable for fishing.

When Nuoer heard that she also had a fishing rod, she immediately nodded excitedly.

In one and a half days, Yao Yu caught four fish, three big fish and one small fish, but Yao Yu was already very satisfied. On the way back, Yao Yu pulled some wild vegetables and put the three big fish below. The rooms are separated by wild vegetables.

Yao Yu put the lid on and took Nuo Er, "Let's go home."

Mrs. Song had been watching at the door of Xie's house. Seeing this, Yao Yu pulled Nuo'er to leave through the back door. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Song seemed to be waiting for Yao Yu, "Oh, I said someone is back."

Mrs. Song rushed to Yao Yu, "You stole the sickle from the kitchen, I'll go and tell mother right now."

Yao Yu secretly thought, miscalculation, I should return the sickle and go fishing again, unexpectedly, Mrs. Song discovered this, just when Yao Yu lost his mind, Mrs. Song lifted the lid of Yao Yu's basket, "Oh, I said What is this, it turns out to be a fish!"

Mrs. Song held the little fish above into her arms, "I don't know how to share something good, and I want to eat it alone." As she said that, Mrs. Song planned to continue digging through Yao Yu's basket.

Yao Yu snatched the lid and covered the basket, and then stretched out her hand to snatch the small fish from Mrs. Song's hand. Mrs. Song knew that she was no match for Yao's in strength, but she asked her to return the fish she got. Not reconciled, he had to shout, "Come on, the third sibling got something good."

Yao Yu stomped her feet angrily, took Nuo'er into the house before anyone came out, and hid the basket under the bed by the way. When Liu heard the shouts, she came out and looked, her eyes were about to pop out. Song was holding the basket. Fish, how long has it been since they ate meat!This fish is so good, it can make the fourth brother eat meat.

"Oh, mother, you are here. The third brother and sister caught fish and were going to eat alone. Fortunately, I found out." Song hurriedly went to please Liu.

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard this, she began to curse, "What are you? Can you eat this fish? If you get it, don't cook it for the fourth child."

After hearing about the fourth child, Mrs. Song took back the hand that was about to hand the fish to Mrs. Liu. If the fish was given to the fourth child, how could they get any of it?

Yao Yu rolled his eyes and said, "My mother has wronged me for saying this. I was lucky today and picked up a fish in the river. When I came back, I said I would give it to the fourth brother. After all, the fourth brother will be the most important fish in the Xie family in the future." Someone with a future."

Mrs. Liu nodded when she heard this, because Yao Yu still has some eyesight.

"Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law disagreed and insisted that we both eat it. I said that would not work, it had to be given to the fourth brother and parents." Yao Yu said angrily and pointed at Song, "The second sister-in-law bit me back. , really shameless."

Song yelled angrily, "What are you talking about! It was clearly discovered by me, and you didn't mean to give it at all."

Yao Yu glanced at Song with contempt, "Second sister-in-law can't even understand human speech? Mom, look, second sister-in-law doesn't even give you fish now."

Mrs. Liu was suspicious of Yao Yu at first, but when she turned her head to look at Mrs. Song, she really didn't give the fish to herself, so she stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it."

Mrs. Song just heard that Mrs. Liu only gave the fish to the fourth child and didn't want to give it away. Seeing Mrs. Liu asking for it, she was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Yao Yu said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you hesitant? If you say it to your mother, you will give it to your mother."

Mrs. Liu gave Yao Yu a knowing look, and directly took the fish from Mrs. Song.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was about to enter the house, Mrs. Song came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, "Mother, Mrs. Yao stole the sickle from the kitchen."

Yao Yu said, "Speaking of which, I was able to pick up this half-dead fish thanks to the sickle. I'll go and put the sickle back in the kitchen."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she didn't care about it anymore. Anyway, she could exchange it for a fish, which was very cost-effective.

After Yao Yu saw Liu Shi enter the house, she gave Song Shi a provocative look. If she wanted to take things from Yao Yu, she had to know that even if she kept the stolen things, she would not give them to others!
