Chapter 11 Caught a Mallard
After borrowing a bicycle, Wu Jiangshan was preparing to go to Weitang to pick up Zhongdagu.
He rode his car out of the carport, and before leaving school, he saw a figure looking at him by the window in the corridor upstairs.
I just knew it was that little girl Zhang Danna.
Waving his hand upstairs, Wu Jiangshan blew a kiss, and saw the figure panic and ran away soon after.
Wu Jiangshan laughed out loud. This innocent feeling of first love really makes people feel happy.
With a silly smile, Wu Jiangshan rode his bicycle to leave the first tier.
......
On the other side, deep in the reed pond,
Zhong Dagu held his breath, his whole body was covered in mud ideas, lying in the reeds, staring at the green-headed wild duck in front of him.
He slowly moved forward and rushed forward and rushed up about half a meter away from the wild duck.
I was so lucky today that he caught a wild duck. The wild duck was not moving easily, and as long as it didn't make a big noise, he wouldn't run away.
Zhong Dagu pounced on the wild duck's nest, holding the flapping wild duck in his hand and being careful not to crush the egg below. It took him a long time to hold it down and lift it up with his wings.
He held the wild duck in one hand and brought it to the other hand, and climbed to the dam. Zhong Dagu was a little worried when he saw two buckets of fish and shrimps and a bag of wild duck eggs.
I gained a lot today, but he was greedy. Now I asked him to take it, but I really couldn't.
I'll throw it away, but I can't bear to leave it alone. These are all money.
Zhong Dagu tied the wild duck's wings and legs and threw it into the deep pocket of fishing. The bamboo pole will be used tomorrow, so it will be inserted into the reed pond next to it.
He piled all the wild duck eggs in that nest, wrapped them with clothes, put them carefully in the bag, and pressed them on the duck's head.
Then tie the bag to your back, carry a bucket of fish in one hand and walk out. Just walk for more than ten meters and then take a breath and move out of the reed pond bit by bit like a turtle.
When he moved to the exit of the reed pond, it became a little dark. He put two buckets of fish and shrimp on the ground, and carefully picked the wild ducks and eggs in the bag and put them aside.
I was so hungry that I scratched my heart and liver. The bottle of water I brought had long disappeared. Zhong Dagu wiped the sweat and held his knees and gasped.
"Dingling~"
A crisp sound of car ringing came from the front. Zhong Dagu looked up and saw a man riding a bicycle over.
If you look closely, who is it if it is not Wu Jiangshan?
"I asked you to get a bucket and I insist on showing off. If I don't come, can you move home in the middle of the night?"
Wu Jiangshan opened his mouth and cursed, while slandering, he stuffed a cloth bag on the handlebar to Zhong Dagu.
Zhong Dagu didn't understand why, so he opened it and saw two big white steamed buns inside, and his stomach suddenly became rumbling.
"Jiangshan, did you buy it? It's a few cents if you don't have a ticket."
"You'll eat it for you, you'll talk a lot."
Wu Jiangshan looked at the two buckets and filled them with them: "Okay, have you done a lot today?"
Zhong Dagu didn't care about his dirty hands, so he took a steamed bun and took a big bite, stuffing his mouth bulge: "Look at what's in that cloth bag?"
Wu Jiangshan leaned over, snatched a little, and laughed: "You are so awesome and you are still catching a wild duck. Are you not eating meat?"
Zhong Dagu laughed while eating: "Sell it, wait until you save enough money to treat your grandfather, let's catch it."
"Okay, I'll make a table for you after my grandfather's health check."
It would be enough to have such a buddy in this life. Wu Jiangshan was moved, but he didn't have to express his gratitude when he had a relationship with Da Gu.
He lifted two buckets of fish and shrimp, which was thirty or forty kilograms. Now he has a bicycle. When he came, Wu Jiangshan not only bought steamed buns, but also brought a bundle of ropes and a wooden board.
Put the wooden board back and tie it, hang two buckets at both ends, wrap it with a rope and it will be firmly tied.
Unless the bicycle falls down, it won't be spilled.
Wu Jiangshan stepped on the bicycle and gestured to the back seat: "Get on the bike."
Zhong Dagu laughed and stuffed the steamed buns in his mouth with his mouth, then grabbed the cloth straps containing wild ducks and eggs, and walked behind him to the wooden board in the back seat.
"Jiangshan, whose bicycle is it?"
"Zhang Danna's."
When he heard that it was Zhang Danna's, Zhong Dagu swallowed the words "Don't scratch the car paint".
Zhang Danna and Wu Jiangshan are so good that they can't get angry even if they break the bicycle.
"By the way, how are you doing today? How much did you sell?"
"Sold more than thirty."
Zhong Dagu was so surprised that he almost dropped his bicycle and sold it for more than 30 in a day?
"Send these home later. You can rest at home. I'll catch two more barrels of crabs."
Wu Jiangshan is full of energy now. Although the two days have just begun, it can be seen that the people in the town are still acceptable to the snacks he makes.
Zhong Dagu hurriedly said: "I will come back with you later, so we can catch more."
Since it is so valuable, Zhong Dagu is ready to fight.
"Don't, you rest well at home. Thank you for your hard work tomorrow morning to pack up the fish and shrimps. I made it before noon and sold it. Now we have bicycles, so we can save a lot of energy."
Although he was anxious to make money, no one could stand it when he worked day and night. He and Zhong Dagu had to take turns to do it.
"That's fine. You sleep a little longer tomorrow morning, and I'll clean up these."
Zhong Dagu's house has no electric lights, so it is inconvenient to work at night. It just so happens that these fish will not die even if they are raised overnight, so they will be fresh tomorrow morning.
After sending the things home, Wu Jiangshan asked Zhong Dagu to go to bed early. He poured out two buckets by himself and hesitated at the wild duck.
This thing can’t be made much after killing it and making mature food. It’s better to sell it to your business.
After tying up the wild duck, Wu Jiangshan took the long-sleeved clothes and wrapped himself up.
Carrying a simple lantern made of canned bottles, hang the bucket onto the bicycle, and heading to the reed pond again.
Wu Jiangshan was riding his bicycle while thinking, even if it was sold for thirty yuan a day,
It can earn 450 in half a month, so it's enough to go to the provincial capital.
He took his master to do a thorough examination before he could feel at ease. The sudden illness of the old man before he was reborn was like a time bomb buried in Wu Jiangshan's heart.
But he didn't know when the bomb could explode.
With the bicycle, it took only half an hour to arrive. It was still dark and Wu Jiangshan didn't dare to pedal hard.
I came to the mudflat deep in the reed pond, put the bicycle on the shore, and lit a candle in a canned bottle.
In the dark reed pond, I caught two full buckets of tula crabs in one breath.
When I returned home with the crabs on my back, it was already midnight. Zhong Dagu left a door for him.
Wu Jiangshan did not make any noise, so he closed the yard and pressed the crabs.
The bicycle was pushed to the kitchen and didn't even wash it. He pulled his dirty clothes and pants to the ground, climbed onto the kang, and fell asleep after just a little pillow.
It was dark when he slept this time. When he woke up, it would have been bright.
Zhong Dagu had already cleaned all the fish and washed the internal organs and made a pot of rice.
After Wu Jiangshan got up, they stewed the fish first, then stir-fry the shrimp and crabs spicyly. The two of them picked up a bowl and made two bowls of rice.
After eating and drinking, I was about to go to set up a stall again, a shout came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Wu Jiangshan, are you here?"
