Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 118 Winter Fishing (1/2)

Liu Qingshan and his whole family went to attend the big banquet of the Luo family.

This is not because they are not reserved and do the whole family banquet.

The main reason is that almost everyone has given gifts: Grandpa Liu Shikui one, Lin Zhi one, Gao Wenxue and Liu Jinfeng one, and finally Yang Hongying one.

So there were not many people left for free food and drink, so they all went.

At noon the next day, Liu Qingshan drove to send his second sister to the commune and took a bus back to school.

Liu Qingshan also knew the specific time of the final exam, which was on the 15th and 16th of their first year of high school.

When he returned to the village, the old branch secretary informed him: Chuncheng Automobile Factory called and asked him to go there in the next two days, saying that the foreign negotiation team would be here soon.

Liu Qingshan happened to talk about the market, and everyone was a little unsure, the reason was very simple: they had never done business before, they didn’t know what to sell, and they didn’t know how to sell it.

They were all honest farmers, and it was estimated that few of them would be able to open their mouths at the market.

Don't think that shouting is so easy to shout out, it represents a change in ideas. wWw.7

Only the boss of the car has a business mind and agrees with both hands, and he can also ask his daughter to touch the steering wheel more.

As for what goods to sell, Liu Qingshan proposed a general direction: as long as it is New Year goods that can be used during the New Year, everything is fine.

He really knows that in the past two years, as long as he has something in hand, he will never worry about selling it.

The reason is very simple. In the first few years of the household contract responsibility system, farmers have more or less extra money in their hands. Who doesn't want to have a good New Year?

The channel for purchasing most New Year goods is the supply and marketing cooperative, and more people have no awareness of commodity economy.

Everyone's situation is similar to that of the villagers in Jiapigou: they don't know how to do business, and they don't have this awareness at all.

The result is that demand is far greater than supply, so as long as the New Year goods are shipped back, they can make money even if they lie down.

The key factor here is that they have a big Jiefang.

They can run long-distance transportation and go to the city to purchase goods. Just based on this item, most people don't have it.

When it comes to New Year's goods, everyone gets excited and starts talking about them.

What to eat and drink, what to wear, the big red paper for writing couplets, the colorful paper for making lanterns, and even the newspapers for wall pasting and New Year pictures, all come to mind.

Liu Qingshan took a pen and paper and quickly filled a sheet of paper, listing dozens of commodities.

Of course, all these things cannot be purchased. Now there is not even a single source of supply, so we can only buy whatever goods are available.

After discussing for half a night, the purchasing staff going to Chuncheng was determined: Zhang Liandi would naturally drive the big Jiefang, and the boss uncle and Da Zhangluo, the two capable people, would be responsible for following the car.

Liu Qingshan was also bold and wanted to drive a jeep to Chuncheng, with Captain Zhang and Er Biaozi in the car.

These two are mainly responsible for contacting the source of goods in Chuncheng.

After Liu Qingshan is done, they can also provide assistance.

In this year, it is not so safe to run a transport business. Carjackings on the road also happen from time to time. In order to be on the safe side, we also ask the mute grandfather to come down the mountain and be responsible for escorting the car.

As for the mountain, two people are temporarily sent to replace the forest ranger.

Generally, the market during the New Year is not considered to be busy until after Laba, which is roughly from Laba to the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, about 20 days.

Now there are nearly ten days before Laba, just in time to start preparing goods.

According to Liu Qingshan's idea, he can't run an empty car when he goes there. It's best to carry back and forth: transport agricultural and sideline products such as chickens, ducks, fish and meat, and then transport New Year goods back, making money on both ends.

The fattening pigs in their pig farm have been booked by the car factory, but they can still grow for another half a month. If they are slaughtered now, it will be a bit of a loss.

As for chickens and ducks, the number is limited. If they are caught now, they may not be able to gather enough for a car in ten days and a half a month.

Just when everyone was worried about this, Er Biaozi suggested: "The reservoir is about to carry out large-scale winter fishing. Yesterday, I came to Jiapigou to hire people to help. I wonder if we can get a few trucks of fish over there?"

Winter fishing is a local specialty. In winter, ice is cut and nets are cast. Sometimes tens of thousands of kilograms can be caught in one net.

The fish caught are frozen directly on the ice. They are frozen hard and can be used as sticks to hit people. When eaten, they are almost the same as fresh fish.

The biggest advantage is: convenient transportation.

OK, this is it!

The old branch secretary finally made the decision.

However, this is not a one-sided wishful thinking. We have to work with the reservoir.

Early the next morning, Captain Zhang led 20 strong laborers from Jiapigou to the reservoir to help fish. Liu Qingshan was one of them.

Before dawn, Liu Qingshan got up and played in his yard for a while. Time was too tight, so he would not go up the mountain today.

In the house, his mother had prepared breakfast for him: dumplings with sauerkraut and pork.

Winter fishing is a long and demanding job. Working on the ice is very physically demanding, so you must eat food that can resist hunger.

If you work on an empty stomach, you will get colder and colder, and you will definitely get seriously ill when you come back.

Not only Liu Qingshan, but other villagers who participated in winter fishing also had dumplings and fried cakes for breakfast, otherwise they would not be able to bear it.

When more than 20 people got on two large horse-drawn carriages and set off, it was just dawn.

The carriages all had three heads, that is, there were three horses pulling the carriages, also called three-wheeled carriages.

In the middle was a large shaft horse, which was the absolute main force for pulling the carriages.

There is also a horse on both sides of the shaft horse, which is used to pull the string harness and the gang harness respectively. When the cart is heavy, the shaft horse cannot move, so these two come into play.

In the past, in local rural areas, there was a special term called "gangster".

What does it mean? It means that the man in this family cannot support the family due to physical reasons, such as a disabled leg or something.

What should I do if my daughter-in-law is benevolent and unwilling to leave her husband and remarry?

A bachelor who cannot afford a wife will be found to do the work, and the three of them will live together as a gang. This person who joins later is called a gangster.

Jiapigou dispatched three sets of carts today, not because they couldn't pull the carts, but because the reservoir not only hired people but also horses, so they sent a few more horses.

The sound of neat horse hooves breaks through the tranquility of dawn, and the horse's thick nostrils spurt streams of white air.

This time period is also the coldest time of the day, commonly known as Ghost Qiya, with temperatures definitely exceeding minus 30 degrees.

What Gui Qiya means is that even if the little devil comes out to hang out at this time, he will still grin with his teeth and hiss from the cold.

Fortunately, the people sitting in the carriage were all covered tightly and armed from head to toe.

They have big dog-skin hats on their heads, big bald heads on their feet, and they are either wearing cotton coats or sheepskin jackets, and none of them have teeth.

After walking four or five miles, the carriage had entered the reservoir. There was half a foot of snow on the ground, and nearly one meter of ice below.

As we walked, the sun came out, and the sunlight shone on the snowy fields, shining like sparkling gems.

At this time, you should not stare at the snow for a long time, otherwise your eyes will soon become "snow blind".

Because the ultraviolet rays reflected by the snow are very strong, staring at the snow is almost like staring at the sun.

"Here, here!"

There was a group of people in the distance, waving their arms and shouting from a distance.

As we walked closer, there were more than a dozen workers of the reservoir, all of whom were covering themselves tightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, guys!"

An old man wearing a dog-skin hat came forward first. He was Director Yu from the reservoir.

Director Yu is in his fifties, and his gray beard is covered with frost, almost turning completely white.

People who know him well usually call him Yu Baotou. His ancestors have made a living on the water for several lifetimes.

Here, they often refer to leaders in a certain industry as "leaders."

For example, a master of fishing is called "Yubaotou", a master of ginseng harvesting is called "Genshutou" and so on.

On the Jiapigou side, Captain Zhang is leading the team today. After a few words of greeting, the big carriage goes to the reservoir warehouse to haul fishing nets and other equipment.

The remaining people began to follow behind the leader, looking for a suitable place to set the net.

This is also the time when the fish’s vision is most tested, because through the thick ice, it is impossible to know the distribution of fish schools under the ice.

If you choose the wrong place, everyone will work all day in vain and not catch a few fish.

Skilled fish handlers are familiar with the underwater terrain and know the patterns of fish swimming in the water, so they can effectively fish with nets.

To put it bluntly, this is still a profession that requires a lot of experience, and it is simply impossible for an outsider to do it.

As everyone walked forward on the ice, Yu turned his head and said to Captain Zhang next to him: "Old Zhang, there are a lot of you here. We agreed to hire ten people at a cost of one dollar and fifty cents per person per day. You have come here for more than twenty people." , We can’t afford this money from the reservoir.”

Captain Zhang waved his hand: "It's okay, you can pay according to ten people, and we can divide the money among ourselves when we go back."

Yu thought for a while and said: "Then take two fish back and share them among everyone."

Liu Qingshan took the opportunity to intervene: "Director Yu, two fish are not enough, we need 20,000 catties."

"I heard that you Jiapigou made a lot of money selling vegetables. You are rich. You only have 20,000 jins in your mouth. Can you afford it?"

Yu slapped his head and mouth, haha, he thought it was a joke.

Captain Zhang explained the situation, but Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, the fishery company has assigned us a catch of 150,000 kilograms, but we may not be able to complete it yet."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but interject: "Director Yu, you just said that the carp at the aquatic products company is 35 cents per catty, and the fathead carp and grass carp are even cheaper, so we will give you an extra cent per catty. You What do you think?"

Fish at this time is not cheap at all, it is only slightly worse than pork. Fresh carp in summer costs nearly one yuan a pound.

The first is the production factor, and the second is transportation.

Liu Qingshan had talked to Director Hao from the automobile factory union last time. Even frozen fish could be sold for seventy or eighty cents. The profit was very considerable.

"No, no, that's not buying and selling. You have to make mistakes. Lao Zhang, please don't create problems for me."

Yu Baotou refused without hesitation. This man was very principled and was not an easy person to persuade.

The topic ended here for the time being. Everyone continued to move forward and gradually came to the middle of the big lake. The snow on the ice had been manually cleared here, revealing a large mirror-like lake surface.

"We'll set down the net here in a moment."

Yu gestured with his head. On the ice after clearing the snow, sunlight can shine into the water. In such a place, the oxygen content is richer than in other places, making it easier for fish to gather.

While they were talking, the tools were brought in by carriage, and everyone picked up the ice trowels for cutting ice and prepared to dig holes in the ice.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke: "If we set the net here, we probably won't be able to catch many fish, right?"

March, early spring.
