"It seems that what Brother Ran said is true..."

"It's true or false, you'll know it once you try..."

"Not bad, it's okay to try it. It only takes a few hours. If it's true, you can eat meat and make money."

“…”

Everyone looked at the fish cage in Zhang Ran's hand, and everyone began to believe that Zhang Ran was not playing, but that he really had a way to catch fish and was willing to share it with everyone.

Faced with the temptation of eating meat, few of the teenagers could resist it. So after Zhang Ran finished speaking, some of them were a little more anxious and had turned around and ran home to get tools.

Someone took the lead, while others couldn't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed. Whether they really believe it or fake it in their hearts, they couldn't help but want to try it. If it really works, wouldn't it be possible to get meat every day?

So, more than a dozen people quickly dispersed and ran home to get tools.

Just over a dozen minutes later, most people returned to the small earth slope at the Linankou with tools such as axes, hatchets, and hemp ropes.

After waiting for another five or six minutes, counting the heads, and finding that everyone was here, Zhang Ran waved his hand:

"Set off!"

Then he led more than a dozen teenagers with a look of eagerness to try, heading towards the back mountain.

......

At that time, the climate was warm, the Guanzhong Plain was fertile, with dense river networks, and extremely fertile geographical conditions. It was one of the richest areas in the world and was incomparable to the local environment in later generations.

Zhangli is located at the foot of Mount Li Mountains. The most inexpensive thing in the mountains is all kinds of trees and bamboos, so everyone didn't waste much effort and soon found a large bamboo forest in the mountains.

After coming to the bamboo forest, Zhang Ran gave the order, and the young men picked up tools and started cutting the bamboo.

They are all teenagers in the farm family and have been doing all kinds of farm work since they were young. Cutting bamboo is a trivial matter for them.

There was no need for Zhang Ran to command or order, so he spontaneously carried out preliminary division of labor and cooperation. The older ones waved their axes and started chopping bamboos, while the younger ones were responsible for holding hatchets to scoop branches. As for the little guys who were only in their teens, they were not idle. They lifted the chopped bamboos in groups in two or two, and finally tied them with hemp ropes...

With the joint efforts of everyone, more than ten bundles of hundreds of bamboo were cut in less than an hour. The speed was many times faster than that of Zhang Ran and Sankui.

Seeing that the bamboo was almost cut, Zhang Ran hurriedly stopped and said, "It's almost enough, we can't take it back no matter how much! Everyone clean up and prepare to go down the mountain!"

"Okay!"

After wiping the sweat on his forehead, everyone answered, and then carried the bamboo in groups, happily went down the mountain and gathered in.

Under Zhang Ran's leadership, the group brought bamboo to the small courtyard of Zhang Ran's house and unloaded bundles of bamboo into the yard of Zhang Ran's house. After putting up ten bundles of bamboo, they immediately piled up into a hill.

Then, Zhang Ran didn't say nonsense, and directly acted with Sankui, and began to teach everyone how to build a fish cage step by step.

From chopping bamboo strips to how to make molds, how to lay keels, and how to weave them, each step is explained as in detail as possible.

Everyone is a child of a farmer family, and it is even a precious thing to learn a craft, so they are very serious when they listen to it, and they dare not be careless or slack.

However, there are some technical requirements for weaving fish cages, and most of them are getting involved in this thing for the first time. Therefore, the speed of learning is not too fast. After working for a whole day, only seven or eight older people including Zhang Shan, have initially mastered the method of weaving fish cages. Others have not yet fully learned or have only learned a part of it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Ran announced that he would stop here today and continue to learn tomorrow. Then, he brought everyone and a dozen fish cages that had just been weaved to the river, dug some earthworms, and tied the fish cage with ropes and threw them into the river.

Seeing the fish cages "gululu" sinking into the bottom of the river, everyone looked different, and some people couldn't help asking: "Brother Ran, can you really catch fish like this?"

"Hehe" Zhang Ran smiled slightly and said, "If you can catch fish, you will naturally see the final report tomorrow morning! At that time, will everyone come and see it in person?"

"Uh, that's right!"

Zhang Jing smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly.

"Smack ~"

Zhang Ran clapped his hands, gathered everyone's eyes, and laughed and said, "Okay, everyone has been busy for a day and are hungry! It just so happened that Sankui and I hadn't had time to collect the fish cage we had yesterday, so we should be able to catch a lot of fish! So, I'll treat everyone to fish tonight!"

"Ao~~"

When everyone heard fish eating, they immediately cheered. The little bit of worry that had just risen was immediately thrown out of the sky.

"Let's go! Go and get the fish with me!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand and led everyone to another place on the river bank, which was where Zhang Ran and Sankui used to put fish cages.

...

As fish cages were pulled out of the river, lively fish and shrimps appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the little doubt in everyone's heart slowly disappeared. Everyone began to believe that the fishing method Zhang Ran taught them was that he could really catch fish.

In the past half a month, Zhang Ran and Sankui's families have accumulated hundreds of fish cages. In the past day, at least one or two fish can be caught in each fish cage, and there are even three or four more.

When nearly a hundred fish cages were collected, with a total of three or four hundred and a few large baskets of fish in front of everyone, everyone was not calm. Now they were not thinking about whether they could catch fish, but considering how to learn the skills of weaving fish cages as soon as possible and let themselves catch fish as soon as possible.

Seeing everyone's expressions of excitement, Zhang Ran added another fire and announced loudly: "Zhang Shan, you guys will kill all the fish for me, and then clean them by the river! Sankui, you will bring people to put the fish's internal organs and other things back into the fish cage as bait... Everyone else will pick up firewood, let's grill fish to eat in the evening! Oh, by the way, Xiao Shitou, you run fast, go back and tell my mother, and ask her to prepare more pottery jars and salt, and everyone will go home for dinner later!"

"Ao~~Eat fish!"

Everyone cheered loudly, and then they started to act one after another, killing fish, washing fish, picking firewood, and doing their own jobs, and were very busy...
