Just as he was thinking, Wang Shengli complained on the phone again: "I can't dig it. Several people used iron shovels to flip the bottom of the pond side by side, but they still couldn't find it. The fish pond was dry for a winter, and when the water was released in spring, it came out again. Now people are so amazing that they say this thing has become a spirit. I'm a little scared and don't know if I should contract it. Can you give me some advice?"

"It's normal that you can't dig it. You said that the fire head is probably big and drilled deeper. There is a Qingtang in Liujiagou, and we dug out the fire head in the mud more than one meter deep. It's useless to dry the fish pond. This thing is like a loach. The dryer the surface, the deeper it drills." Liu Junhao explained.

"What should I do? I can't find an excavator to dig out all the silt. The cost is too high, and I can't get it without tens of thousands of yuan."

"If you think the cost is high, I'll tell you a simple method. Don't worry about it this year, don't let the fish pond water go, just do it like that. Wait until the weather is warm next spring before adding a small amount of water."

"Small amount?" Wang Shengli asked in confusion over there.

"Yes, this must be mastered. Just submerge the silt at the bottom of the pond. Never let too much water be released. The weather is warm in spring. The fire head that has been dry for several months suddenly comes into contact with water. It will definitely drill out from the depths of the silt and breathe with your head exposed. At this time, water has just been injected into the fish pond, and the bottom of the pond is relatively dry and hard, and the fire head is slow, so people will not fall into it even if you walk on the water. As long as you go into the water and look for it, you will definitely find those fire heads. It is very simple to find, just like pulling a carrot, just pinch the fish gills with your hands and pull it out."

Liu Junhao is talking about experience. Catching fires after a long drought and rain is also the tradition of Liujiagou.

"Thank you, I'll be relieved if you say this. The fish pond has contracted it. Let's go back and invite you to dinner." Wang Shengli said in a very firm tone there.

"Is there anything wrong? I'm dead?" I'm going to the village entrance to pick up Zhang Qian's mother and her party. Liu Junhao didn't have time to listen to him nonsense. Wang Shengli is a man who is not happy in business and likes to be petty. It is probably harder to ask him to treat him to a meal than to climb the sky.

"Don't, there's really a big deal. You can get me a hundred kilograms of loaches these two days. The more, the better." Hearing that he was about to hang up the phone, Wang Shengli said another thing.

"How many? Hundred pounds, what are you kidding? I can't get it..." Hearing this, Liu Junhao almost threw his phone to the ground.

In this kind of weather, where can he get a hundred kilograms of loaches? Seven or eight kilograms can be obtained.

Although there are so many ditches in the backyard, the ice on the water surface is now two or three centimeters thick, and the loaches are all drilled into the mud. If you want to catch loaches, you must dig a hole. This is simply impossible. The rapeseed planted in autumn has grown to more than one till high.

Digging now is too ruining the crops.

Even if you don’t grow rapeseed, Liu Junhao won’t dig. Not to mention the trouble, the pits dug in the backyard must be flattened again next spring.

There are quite a few loaches in the stone lock, which is easy to dig, but the key is that there is no suitable source and it is not suitable to get it out.

"Xiao Hao, just do my brother a favor." After hearing the rejection, Wang Shengli continued to complain. "My brother just developed a customer. He has already patted his chest to guarantee him. In the first business, you can't let me be untrustworthy, how can I deal with it in the future."

"This..." After hearing what he said, Liu Junhao was not easy to refuse, and hesitated. He then asked, "Why don't you look for other farmers. This season, many people store loaches. Hundreds of 100 kilograms are no problem for them."

Now everything is about off-season, and so is aquaculture.

"The key is that people call for wild ones. Domestic ones are not assured, either hormones or these medicines are fattening. My brother doesn't want to do a one-time deal."

So... Wang Shengli is also an old customer. Although this person is a little stingy when encountering problems, his reputation is good. Since he encounters difficulties, he has to go to the situation and creates conditions.

"Don't worry, the price is easy to negotiate, and it will not cause you to suffer a loss," Wang Shengli promised on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, when do you want it?" Liu Junhao thought about it and nodded in agreement. He had already thought of a place. When he went there a few days ago, he found that there was no water. There should be no big problem in digging a hundred kilograms of loaches there.

"What are Wang Shengli going to do?" Zhang Qian asked casually when she saw her husband hang up the phone.

"Let me get him a hundred kilograms of loaches, and I'm anxious to ask for it." Liu Junhao explained the matter briefly.

When he heard her husband agree, Zhang Qian complained without any worries: "Now? You agree, where can I get it for him?"

"Don't worry, there are so many puddles outside our courtyard wall, so it should be no problem to dig a hundred or ten kilograms."

There is a puddle of nearly one acre of land outside the wall of his yard. In summer, water accumulates in the backyard is located here. At first, Liu Junhao was worried that it would cause the loss of loaches and eels, but later he found that he was worried about excess. Because the spring water is extremely attractive to fish, this situation rarely happens.

On the contrary, I sensed the smell of spring water, and many fish swam into the puddles along the ditches and then into the backyard, which also added a source for Liu Junhao's eel breeding.

If it weren't for the thought of Shuipu, Liu Junhao wouldn't have dared to promise just now.

The couple was talking when the phone rang again. This time it was called by Brother Zhang Qian and he had already arrived at the entrance of the village.

***

"Uncle, here, here!" Liu Junhao was still far away from the entrance of the village, and the two brothers Xiaozeyu started to shout.

After they got home, they were even more upset. They first made the old and old cry, and then ran to the chicken coop, staring at the hen that laid the eggs with four eyes... to see who received more eggs.

One of the hens was probably impatient to see, and stretched out their necks and pecked at the two of them, and then drove them away.

Afterwards, the two of them stayed under the peach tree and beat them randomly with a wooden stick until the otters in the cave were alarmed and all jumped ashore.

"Let's go, let's go, Jianhui, Zeyu, uncle takes you to dig loaches." Liu Junhao was so troubled that he took the initiative to invite the two little guys to go out for fun.

"Where are you going to dig loaches?" Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang Qian was intrigued.

“Just behind the yard”

"Wait, I'll go too." I was idle, so Zhang Hongbin simply took a shovel and followed him.

Brother Zeyu was unwilling to fall behind and was also making a fuss to carry the shovel. Helplessly, Liu Junhao had to chuck out the small rake used for his peanut shavings and let them use them as weapons.

Digging loaches is a job of hard work, and you will definitely sweat after waiting.

When he arrived outside the courtyard wall, Liu Junhao chose a seat and then began to take off his shirt.

Taking advantage of Liu Junhao's time to take off his clothes, Zhang Hongbin was already busy there.

"Brother, don't dig there, there are no loaches," Liu Junhao said, then put on gloves and squatted to the depression to clean up the dry water plants.

"How could it be that there is no," Brother Zhang Qian asked in disbelief.

"You can tell if you dig a few shovels." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liu Junhao stopped persuading him. That's what... no matter how much you say, it's useless. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

Not to mention, it was really like Liu Junhao said that Zhang Hongbin waved the iron shovel in the middle of the puddle and dug it for more than a dozen times, but he didn't see half of the loach.

"Xiao Hao, there will be no loaches in this puddle, right?" he asked in confusion.

"It's not that there is no, but the direction you are looking for is wrong. Look at me." After cleaning the water plants, Liu Junhao picked up the iron shovel and shoveled it twice, and a loach hole appeared under the iron shovel.

Next, he moved quickly, digging four or five iron shovels, then squatted and stopped, carefully clearing the smooth small mud hole under the shovel with his fingers. He reached out and buckled twice, and a fat big loach showed his traces, curled up and motionless, as if he had been waiting for someone to catch it back.

"Loach, Loach" Xiao Jianhui also saw it at this time and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to pull his head.

"Don't pull it, you can't pull it out." Liu Junhao hurriedly pulled the little guy to the side, "Have you ever heard of snakes in the hole? Loaches are the same. The more you pull this kind of thing, the more you shrink into the hole, and it is easy to pinch the loach to death."

After saying that, he pulled a grass stem from the side and stuffed it into the mud hole. The fat loach immediately twisted his body and rolled out of the hole.

Xiao Jianhui, who could not wait next to him, reached out and grabbed it with both hands and threw it into the bucket.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that someone was digging a few iron shovels, Brother Zhang Qian became confused.

"Haha, digging loaches is about 'digging silt in autumn and digging edges in winter, and cages all day in spring and summer'. Now it is cold and the land is frozen. Even if there is water in this ditch, the loaches do not stay in the water. Loaches do not need water in winter. They usually make holes under the water plants on the shore to keep the water plants warm and the underground temperature is high, which is more suitable for loaches to survive. In addition, have you not paid attention to the terrain of the puddle? The place is concave in the middle and cannot contain water." What Liu Junhao said are all experiences.

Most people dig loaches like Zhang Qian, and think that loaches must be staying in the middle, which is actually a bit of a matter of course. So... there are also great questions here.

After learning the experience, Zhang Hongbin also became busy choosing a location beside the puddle. There are indeed many loach holes in this place, and he had gained something after digging a shovel.

If you have goals, you will be very energetic.

Zhang Hongbin waved the shovel repeatedly, and only a crisp sound in the soil was heard... the loach was dug into two sections!

"Uncle, dad dig the loach to death, do you still want it?" Xiaozeyu shouted from the side.

"Why don't you want it? Get it back and eat it for egrets. They are not picky about food." Liu Junhao replied, and then worked hard. After a while, four loaches had already earned the money.

They are all big guys, the largest one is only as thick as a one-yuan coin. Such loaches can only make up a pound in twenty years. In fact, there are also small loaches, but Liu Junhao will stop by seeing the thickness of the cave.

Crack!! Zhang Hongbin dug the loach in half for the second time.

Liu Junhao had already seen that his brother-in-law had never dug loaches before. So he gave helpless advice again: "Don't dig against the hole. The loach hole is generally straight up and down, and when digging, it should be five centimeters behind. Also, the depth of the loach hole is roughly forty or fifty centimeters. You need to be careful when digging to this depth. Pay attention to observation. As long as you master these two tricks, it is very easy to dig, and you can basically not shovel the loach."
