"Send this to Yu Lu." Su Xing handed the next piece of pig lung and the remaining pig lung to Su Hao.

"Hehehe." Su Hao took the pig lung.

"What are you laughing at? This thing is a waste if you throw it away. It will stink tomorrow if you leave it alone. You might as well give it to someone else." Su Xing stuffed the zhenzi into a snakeskin bag.

"I understand, I understand, you told me last time." Su Hao smiled and ran away not far away, carrying the pig lungs. Two sisters, Yu Lu and Yu Jie, also came to fish for lobsters every day.

Su Xing tied up the snakeskin bag that had been packed for a while, and together with the snakeskin bag containing the lobster, he picked up the shoulder pole and put it on his shoulder, and looked at Yu Lu.

Yu Lu happened to look over, and Su Xing smiled at her: "Mouse, hurry up."

After returning to the house and putting down his things, Su Xing took Su Hao to the pond. He rolled up his trouser legs and dragged the eel cage that had sunk in it a few days ago to the shore.

The originally green-yellow eel cage turned dark brown after several days of soaking. It lost the fragrance of bamboo and settled into the smell of mud.

This is the taste I wanted, and Su Xing is very satisfied.

"What can this thing be used for?" Su Hao helped bring the eel cage to the door of Su Xing's house, but he still didn't understand what Su Xing wanted these things for.

"Catch eels." Su Xing took a shovel from the house and shoveled it on the dung pile. The fertile soil was filled with dozens of black earthworms, which looked particularly pleasant. Su Xing picked up a soy milk cup, pinched some soil and put it in.

All the black earthworms were picked up into the cup before they could escape.

I dug ten shovels and picked up a cup full of black earthworms.

There are some red ones, but I don’t want them when I wake up.

"Follow me. Tie the earthworms here and tie them tightly. It's best to kill the earthworms before tying them to prevent them from moving around. Tie three or four earthworms to a bamboo clip." Su Xing brought out a plastic bag and put it inside.

Most of them are bamboo clips made of finger-long bamboo.

In fact, it is just a piece of bamboo split with a slit in the middle, leaving an inch unbroken at the back, and then tied with a thin thread of about 20 centimeters.

Su Xing took three earthworms and threw them on the ground a few times. The earthworms stopped moving. He picked them up and stuffed them into a bamboo clip. He wrapped the earthworms in the bamboo clip with a thread and said, "Use a little force to squeeze out the juice."

This strong smell will attract eels."

After half an hour of busy work, their hands were all sticky. Su Xing and Su Hao finished tying them, and then stuffed the earthworms tied to the bamboo pieces one by one through the funnel-shaped entrance at the rear of the eel cage, and wrapped the front exit with a small thread.

, put the baited eel cages one by one in large snakeskin bags, and Su Xing and Su Hao carried them out of the village.

"Can this thing catch eels?" Su Hao didn't believe it.

"Definitely." Su Xing stopped and looked at a rice field on the side. The rice in the field has been cut, but there is still water, and the weeds on the bank of the field have not been trimmed. "This is the next one."

Su Xing took an eel cage, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and went to the back bank of the field. He found a place with a lot of weeds. He first picked up some field mud and built a mud shelf along the field bank, and then placed the eel cage.

Go up.

There is a funnel-shaped entrance that is sunk into the water, and the two sides are slightly covered with mud. The tied tail end is placed on the mud shelf, and some of it is exposed on the water surface to be in contact with the air.

Pull some water plants and put them on the eel cage, pull it twice in the rice field water, rub off the mud on your hands, and the eel cage is ready.

"Is this enough?" Su Hao asked.

"Okay, let's come and pick it up tomorrow morning." Su Xing was full of confidence.

Very few people in the village fish for eels, and even if they do, they usually use eel hooks made from umbrella ribs. They fish in eel holes one after another. Regardless of the exposure, they can catch at most five or six kilograms of eels in a day.

Using an eel cage is a method used by people in neighboring villages to catch eels after waking up in the past life. It is very simple. You can put a baited eel cage in the evening, take a nap, and pick it up in the morning to catch eels.

Following the same pattern, two or three eel cages were planted in a rice field, in ditches with shallow water, and in shallow water areas by rivers.

"What are you doing?" Yu Lu was carrying a bag for a while and was about to go home. When she saw Su Xing lowering the eel cage by the river, she mustered up the courage to ask, her face a little red.

"Eel cage, used for catching eels." Su Xing raised his head and glanced at her, pulled some water plants to cover the eel cage, put his feet in the river and put on his shoes, "You can help me keep an eye on it when I catch lobsters tomorrow.

, don’t let others steal my eel cage.”

After saying that, he picked up the snakeskin bag with not much left in the eel cage, and went to the next place again.

When I got back after finishing it, it was already dark.

"Are you going to fish for lobster tomorrow?" Su Hao asked Su Xing.

"Let's fish. There's no need to get up too early. Get up at five o'clock and accompany me to get the eel cage first. Then you can go fishing for lobsters. Anyway, you won't be able to get a spot in the river. There will definitely be a spot in the lake. Go later.

It’s okay.” Su Xing said.

It was so hot today. I woke up and went home. I took a shower with well water. When I opened the door and entered the room, the room was filled with smoke and the smell was tangy: "Mom, didn't I buy mosquito coils? Why are you still using this? It smells so bad."

It’s too overwhelming.”

In summer, there are many mosquitoes, and it is impossible to fall asleep without using mosquito coils. When I wake up, I always use square gray and white mosquito coils at home. Four or five pieces are lit together. After burning, the whole room is shrouded in smoke.

Within half an hour, the smoke could not dissipate and the smell was still very strong.

"That one is too expensive. Keep it. Don't buy it in the future. If you have money, spend it randomly." Wang Chunlan muttered.

"Mosquito-repellent incense has a shelf life, and it will expire if you keep it. Besides, there are so many mosquitoes now, so you don't have to keep it for anything." Su Xing was a little speechless, "The mosquito-repellent incense tablets I'm using now have a strong smell and may be poisonous. Don't use them in the future.

Used it.”

"That's nonsense. After using it for so many years, I haven't seen anything wrong with it. Why is it poisonous?" Wang Chunlan couldn't hear what Su Xing said. "Don't scare people."

Su Xing sighed. Wang Chunlan didn't want to hear it, so he had no choice. He took the bamboo mat and went upstairs. After lying on the bamboo mat for a while, the coolness from the shower was completely evaporated.

It was already dark. I woke up and stared at the stars embedded in the night sky. My thoughts were racing in my mind and I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Brother, where are you?" Su Ran ran up and shouted at the stairs to wake up. He was a little afraid of the dark.

"Slow down." He woke up and walked over, "Why are you running up here?"

"It's hot down there and I can't sleep," Su Ran said.

"Okay, let's sleep upstairs." Su Xing nodded and let Su Ran lie on one side of the mat while he huddled on the other side, "I'll buy an electric fan and come back tomorrow."

There is only one vertical electric fan at home, made by Liuzhou Cheng brand in China. It was bought when Su Changmin and Wang Chunlan got married. It has been used for more than ten years. It is a bit old and has broken once or twice, but it is still strong. Su Xing remembers him.

After I graduated from college and started working, this electric fan still worked.
