Chapter 50 Bamboo Weaving
Zhou Yuquan felt that Yang Baosong deliberately blocked his house construction and scolded Yang Baosong's mother behind his back. In fact, this really wronged Yang Baosong. The funds for the cement road project in Shuanghe Village had just been approved. A few days ago, Yang Baosong's son Yang Changhua was still conducting a contracting project. In order to avoid someone competing with him, Yang Baosong pressed the news and did not let the villagers know. Now that the dust has settled, Yang Baosong announced the construction of the cement road.
Because the bricks of the red brick factory will also be sent out by this road in the future, the biggest beneficiary of this cement road must be Yang Baosong himself. So Yang Baosong reminded Yang Changhua: "You just make money on this road, but the road must be repaired better. Don't be scattered after two or three years. In the future, the whole village will point at the backbone of our family to scold us. The most important thing is that the transportation of red bricks in our brick factory will become a problem. Therefore, keep a close eye on the construction of the road. As long as the quality of the project is fine, the whole village will not be able to say what our family is in the future."
Yang Changhua nodded: "Dad, don't worry. I know this very well. The cement road is repaired, and it's easy to drive my car out. For this broken road, I have to repair the tires several times a year."
"It's good that you know." Yang Baosong said.
A few days later, Yang Changhua began to recruit workers in Shuanghe Village. Many people in the village went to Yang Changhua's place. Zhang Dashuan naturally had trouble running to Yang Changhua to do things because of the previous incident. The way to make money was also cut off, and Zhang Dashuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Old man, why are you sighing? If you don't have money, make less. Our family is not short of money now. The tuition and miscellaneous fees for the two children are enough." Xiao Daidi comforted her man.
"What do you know? We are getting older year by year, and we don't know when we can't move one day. If we don't save more for these two children now, we can't move in the future. What should we do if we can't move in the future? Our Jiling is so smart that we can go to high school in the future, and even get into college. Even if Jidong can't get into high school, he still has to learn craftsmanship in the future. Where will the money come from then on?" Zhang Dashuan said worriedly.
Xiao Daidi nodded: "Hongbing and Chuntao are really not human. They left these two children out for so many years, and there was no news at all. Where can anyone be a parent like this?"
"If they come back in the future, I will break their legs!" Zhang Dashuan said.
"What will Ji Dong do in the future? It would be great if these two children were as smart as they were." Xiao Daidi said.
"That's right, they both came from the womb, why is the difference so big?" Zhang Dashuan said. It would be nothing if a girl was a girl. If she found someone to marry in the future, someone would always care about him. But she was a boy, so stupid, it would be difficult for him to even get a wife in the future.
Zhang Jidong and his sister returned home with a fruitful harvest. The iron bucket in Zhang Jiling's hand contained at least one pound of loaches. Such wild loaches could be sold in the town for at least twenty or thirty yuan.
"So many loaches?" Xiao Daidi cheered when she saw the loaches in the bucket.
Zhang Dashuan got up and took the iron bucket, snatched a handful of loaches in the water with his hands, and slipped through the gaps of his fingers one by one: "It's better to take this loach to the town and sell it. The town can sell it for dozens of dollars per pound."
"That's not possible. We are planning to use these loaches as seeds. Put them in the pond to raise them, and then they can be sold for sale when the loaches breed in the future." Zhang Jiling said.
"That's how big a pond, so many loaches can't be raised at all. Besides, maybe one day the water rises and runs away, and there's no more of it." Zhang Dashuan said worriedly.
"No. The pond is small, we will dig again. In the future, we will still surround the Internet. Even if the water rises, the loaches will not be able to escape." Zhang Jiling said.
"Ji Ling, there are so many loaches. You can leave some dinner dishes, your brother loves them. I just changed some rapeseed oil and came back, which is the most suitable for making loaches." Xiao Daidi said.
Zhang Jiling hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Then keep half of it."
Zhang Jiling went to find a plastic basin and caught half of the loaches from the bucket. The very strict half was almost counted.
Zhang Jidong was very happy. After fishing for so long, he could finally taste the loach. He was still quite looking forward to it. It was all because the spells taught by the master were useless and he couldn't even eat meat.
If Luo Chengxuan heard this, he would be furious: Can I blame this?
Zhang Dashuan was in a good mood. Although he had just said what to attack Zhang Jiling, he turned around and cut a few bamboos into the bamboo forest. He picked old bamboos that had been used for many years. Although the old bamboos are not much different from Hsinchu, the weight of the old bamboos is much heavier than Hsinchu. The bamboos are much denser and the moisture content is greatly reduced. The bamboo products made of this old bamboo have a much longer lifespan than those made of Hsinchu.
The older generation of Shuanghe Village knows a little bit of bamboo weaving skills, like the bamboo baskets at home, and the fish baskets are woven by themselves. Today, Zhang Dashuan cut bamboos not for anything else, but helps his grandchildren to weave a fence for the pool. Using bamboo fences to surround the pool can not only prevent the loaches in the pool from escaping when the pool floods the water, but also prevent ducks from running to the pool to eat fish, and can also prevent people from catching fish by electric fishing.
Press the bamboo knife on the vertical bamboo, and slap it with a little force with your hand, and the bamboo will make a crisp sound. The bamboo will eat about a few centimeters, then lift the bamboo and the bamboo knife together and hit it on the ground, and you will hear the crisp crackling sound that is as powerful as bamboo. A piece of bamboo will immediately break evenly into two halves.
Zhang Jidong likes to listen to the crisp sound of this kind of bamboo the most, as if it is very crisp and pleasant music.
After the bamboo is cut into even thin strips and thin strips, the preparation work can begin. Zhang Jidong watched from the side and went up to help his grandfather get things from time to time. It was very enjoyable to watch the bamboo strips dance in his grandfather's hands.
In one or two days, the pool was finally surrounded by bamboo fences, adding a golden beauty to the pool.
"It's not okay to raise loaches in the pond. Loaches have no food and cannot grow." Zhang Dashuan said.
"What does the loach eat?" Zhang Jiling asked.
"You can raise some grass carp, and grass carp can eat grass, and the residue discharged from grass carp can become food for loaches." Zhang Dashuan said.
