[5] Making money starts from catching fish, let’s get out of the cage
"Mom, I'm still studying. I don't want to leave you yet. And even if I go out in the future, I will soon make money to buy a house, and then pick you and my dad out to enjoy the happiness..."
Hearing Liu Minglang's words, my mother said angrily and amusedly; "I feel sweet when I get into trouble today. I usually have a face that looks like a big boss. If I don't know, I think I owe you millions and haven't paid it back, hum."
"Hehehe...Mom, I was ignorant before, so don't mind, hahaha..."
After smiling and pleasing to his mother, Liu Minglang looked at the pile of broken nets in his yard, and turned his mind and said, "Mom, don't you lend me ten yuan, I'll pay you back in a few days."
"Minglang, you are pretending to be a fool, and you are asking for so much money again. What's wrong with you today? Is someone blackmailing you?" The ten yuan was still very big at this time, so when you heard that Liu Minglang wanted so much money, my mother and Liu Dahan next to her couldn't help but frown.
Knowing that if you don’t explain clearly, these two people will definitely go out and inquire about whether they have been bullied.
So Liu Minglang hurriedly walked to the yard and pointed to the broken nets on the ground and explained to them. "I saw a cage that can catch fish in the book, which is to use a lot of rubber baskets to make squares, and then weave them with nets to make them into trap cages. We can't get that kind of rubber basket, so we can use iron wire instead.
Moreover, this thing can catch a lot of crabs and shrimps, so I want to buy some iron wire to try it out. Moreover, these broken nets in our house are useless, so it doesn’t matter if you try it….”
When Liu Minglang heard what Liu Dahan said, he thought for a moment, then nodded, "Is this thing called a ground cage? I seem to have heard others say this thing, but we don't have this thing yet, so which book did you see it?"
I don’t know if the economic development is not in place or the remote place is not spreading so quickly.
At this time, the coastal area where Liu Minglang and his family lived did not have the habit of using ground cages to catch fish, and they didn't even know what the ground cage looked like.
Fishermen like Liu Minglang's family in the fishing village mainly gain the main harvest of sticking nets, hand-dumping nets, lighting lamps in Shanghai at night to replenish squids, and catching fish in the sea or catching puddles to keep their lives.
The so-called rushing the sea means going to the beach to pick up cheap seafood such as conch, clams, oysters, crabs, and those dead fish that have not been completely stinked by the waves.
Liu Minglang also knew that no one knew about the ground cage at this time, so in order to make his parents willing to invest, he quickly explained seriously: "During the Chinese New Year last year, it was a pity that his eldest son, who went to the island to fish with a boat, came back, I saw it from him..."
"Or, let's try it for Minglang. If he can make money at home, our only seedlings won't have to be given away!!" After hearing Liu Minglang's words, his mother pulled the corner of Liu Dahan's clothes, walked aside and whispered to him.
"Others have six or seven children, and our family only has him. To be honest, I don't want to send him out, otherwise... let him try it."
After agreeing to his wife's opinion with a complicated look, Liu Dahan turned around and looked at Liu Minglang, and said to him seriously. "Minglang, my parents promised you this time, but if you don't do it this time, you have to promise your parents to go back and study well, okay?"
"Big man, I love you so much, you are the best, and mom, I love you very much, hurry up and quickly... bring the money!!" After smiling and acting coquettishly at the big man and his mother, Liu Minglang immediately reached out and started asking for money from his mother happily.
Upon hearing this, my mother immediately turned around and prepared to go back to the house to get the money.
However, Liu Dahan slapped Liu Minglang in the palm of his hand, and then stopped his wife and said, "Don't give him money. When I go to buy sacrifices in the afternoon, I will bring them back to him so that the boss can cheat him as a child..."
"If you don't give money, don't give money. Why are you hitting me? Mom, Liu Dahan must have wanted to use the excuse of buying things to secretly buy cigarettes for himself..." After a moment of palm, Liu Minglang immediately pulled his hand back angrily and pointed at the Dahan and complained to his mother.
In the past, the baby at home didn't like to pay much attention to me. Today, I suddenly started saying that I loved me from time to time, and I rarely acted like a spoiled person to me.
So my mother's spoiling for Liu Minglang at this time was like she wanted to bring down the moon in the sky for him to play with.
Liu Dahan, who beat Liu Minglang for this, was miserable. He was directly grabbed by his wife, warned and scolded. "Okay, Liu Dahan, he actually wanted to buy cigarettes secretly. I asked you to smoke. I asked you to hit my son. I pulled me down my ears..."
"Little bastard, I haven't beaten you if the two subjects scored in total. You have the nerve to slander me now. Please wait for me. You will definitely beat you up!!" Chaoshan men are more loyal to their wife and have no habit of beating them. So Liu Dahan, who was beaten and scolded by his wife, could only vent his anger by scolding Liu Minglang.
It is pure if you don’t see it.
After rolling his eyes to Liu Dahan in disgust, Liu Minglang walked into the house with a proud look on his face.
After wandering around, he ran out with scissors, wires, and pinched his nose. While running, he complained to Liu Dahan who was about to enter the house to cook, "Liu Dahan, can you not take your salted fish into the house before it is dried? Don't you know that the salted fish tastes very big?"
"The smell of salted fish at home is not a day or two. And why are you kids doing scissors? You don't want to pretend to be a god and make trouble, right?" Liu Dahan didn't say anything when he saw Liu Minglang running out, but the scissors on Liu Minglang's hand scared him.
Hearing the words of the big man, Liu Minglang raised the scissors in his hand and waved his hand, "The big man notified, how can we not be surprised? What else can I do with the scissors besides cleaning up the broken nets?
By the way, I will use the wire at home first. I will make a sample for you to see to save you any thought I am wasting your money..."
"Your scissors can't be cut through the iron wire. There are clips for cutting iron wire under the cabinet. Go and get the clip to cut iron wire. Don't break my newly bought scissors. I'm using them to kill fish..." Although I don't know what the sample is, when Liu Minglang was holding scissors and wire, Liu Dahan couldn't help but ask him to change the tools, for fear that he would say that his new scissors would be scrapped if he was too late.
Hearing Liu Dahan's words, Liu Minglang first looked at the scissors and iron wire on his hand. Then, after finding that they were not very matched, he quickly put the scissors and iron wire on the door, then pinched his nose and rushed into the room to find a clip.
After rushing into the house, Liu Minglang was still a little uncomfortable with the smell of the house at first.
He just needed to use his hands when rummaging through the cabinets, so he had to let go of his nose to forcibly endure and get used to the smell. What he didn't expect was that he endured it, and he became accustomed to the smell.
"At the beginning, I really couldn't stand the smell, but it felt really good to get used to it. Hahaha... I've been away from the smell for thirty-nine years and I can smell it again, which feels so good."
After smiling and sucking the smell from the house with his nose, Liu Minglang smiled and walked out of the house with a clip. Then, in Liu Dahan's disgusting eyes, he picked up the scissors and iron wire and walked towards the yard. Then he squatted there and started to make a cage according to the size.
Cooking in the fishing village is very simple. Put rice in a large pot and cook it, put a steamed pan of salted fish or pumpkin and sweet potatoes on it. After cooking, it is basically enough to cook a vegetable soup.
Because cooking is very idle, after setting up the fire, the man couldn't help but be curious and walked to the yard and looked at Liu Minglang who was working in Kaka and asked, "Minglang, the sea water is very corrosive, it won't take you for a few days..."
"This cage had to be made of plastic, but we don't have that thing to buy in this place. And even if there is one, we can't afford it. It is said that one is dozens of times larger, so we will make it with iron wire first, and make some money and come back first..."
After smiling and saying a few words to his father, Liu Minglang suddenly raised his head and looked around and asked, "Hey, Liu Dahan, where is your wife going? Ask your wife to come and weave this fishing net for me. I can't play with this thing, hahaha..."
"What is my wife? It's your mother? She went to buy pork head meat. Don't leave in the afternoon. I'll take you to the grave where you urinated later, so that you won't be so worried about pretending to be so terrible."
When the man heard his son's attitude of speaking in a big and small way, he was so angry that he just wanted to beat him up, but after thinking about his biological son or his only child in the family, he gave up.
