Reborn Little Carpenter

The owner of the bamboo weaving shop is surnamed Lin, and the handicraft is inherited from the ancestors. The shop run by the family sells the bamboo weaving made by themselves, and occasionally they also accept the good bamboo weaving sent by others.

Qiyue's fish baskets were already well made, and with Mr. Qin as the recommender, Mr. Lin offered Qiyue [-] cents a piece, although it was a little less than the market price, but if they sold it themselves, they would pay more. It takes more time to sell, and it may not always sell.

Even the one made up by Wu Xiaoxi, the practice fish basket that Qi Yue gave away when he originally planned to sell it, Lin headed family also gave five cents to take it, and agreed with Qi Yue that he could send it over after he made it up.

Qi Yue naturally agreed.

Four fish baskets were sold for a total of 59 renminbi. After two days of hard work, they did not earn as much as Qi Yougen in the quarry.

But this work is easier than quarrying. Wu Xiaoxi can do it even if she is pregnant, and the two of them weave two a day. The main reason is that Qiyue needs to split bamboo strips, so he can only weave half of them. Wu Xiaoxi can weave one and a half. , It shouldn't be a problem to edit one and a half more every day.

Moreover, Qi Yue has seen other types of bamboo weaving in bamboo weaving shops, such as bamboo hats, bamboo mats, bamboo curtains, bamboo fans, bamboo baskets, etc. You can try them later.

Because of Qin Lao's help, Qi Yue's fish basket was quickly sold, but they agreed with Tian Tang to go back with Qi Yougen, so Qi Yue and Wu Xiaoxi walked around the county.

When modern people visit ancient towns, what they want is the feeling of walking in the memories that have been precipitated by time. Qiyue is in this mood now.

However, the difference from modern people is that all the people he met on the road were real ancient people, and he himself is also an ancient person now, and there are no air-conditioning units and trash cans everywhere on the street. Still quite strong.

Yitai County is still prosperous. "Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death." Although it is not that serious, there is still a gap between the rich and the poor. How people live.

Gaomen compound, various shops, inns, pawnshops, teahouses, restaurants, grocery stores...

Qi Yue visited the tourist road of Yitai County as a tourist, and when he passed the teahouses and restaurants, he was knocked back to his original shape by the long-lost smell of meat and food in the air, and he swallowed hopelessly, Take Wu Xiaoxi and leave quickly.

Qi Yue also met some men with swords on their waists on the street, they didn't look like county yamen servants in appearance, but they looked like Jianghu people in martial arts movies.

Perhaps aware of Qi Yue's gaze, one of the men looked over sharply, Qi Yue didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately turned his head away.

Wu Xiaoxi, who had been walking with him for so long, also showed a little tiredness on his face. Considering his identity as a pregnant woman, Qi Yue stopped the tour of Yitai County in time, took Wu Xiaoxi to the pier and waited. Lacquer has roots to meet.

While waiting, the fishermen who were fishing also came back one after another, and sold their harvest today at the trading point.

Qi Yue went over to look around curiously, looking at the plump river fish in their baskets, boiled fish, pickled fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish automatically appeared in Qi Yue's mind...

Qi Yue swallowed, touched the only 59 Wen copper coins in his pocket, and silently returned to Wu Xiaoxi's side.

Wu Xiaoxi had a panoramic view of all this, tugged at Qi Yue's sleeve with some distress, and whispered: "Tomorrow I will go fishing in the river."

Qi Yue shook his head. The last time Wu Xiaoxi went to catch fish, he caught two palm-sized small fish in one afternoon. It's really hard to rely on his hands without professional things: "Mr. Qin said you can't dip in cold water, don't worry, I have Method."

When he got home, Qi Yue asked Wu Xiaoxi to dig some earthworms, and ran to the bamboo weaving room by himself. Qi Yue's house had a lot of vacant rooms, which were used to pile up sundries. Since they started weaving fish baskets, they cleaned up A room came out, which was specially used to store things.

However, Qi Yue was in a hurry to go to the bamboo weaving house, not because he wanted to weave fish reels and sell them for money, and he thought of a way to catch fish.

He can’t afford fishing nets now, but he has bamboo now, so he can weave a fish net. The principle of the fish net is similar to that of a fishing basket. The big mouth goes in and the small mouth goes out. Put bait on the bottom of the net to lure the fish in and out. It is difficult.

After Wu Xiaoxi dug up the earthworm, he watched him tossing around. After it was formed, he held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Your idea is really ingenious."

Qi Yue laughed out his canine teeth, and put the earthworms dug by Wu Xiaoxi into it: "I don't know if it's good or not, I'll try it today first." It was getting dark outside, and Qi Yue wasn't very familiar with the surroundings, which made him Wu Xiaoxi took him down to the river, found a place with aquatic plants, put the fish in it, tied a rope on the bank to mark it, and waited for tomorrow's lottery.

Back home, Qi Yue gave Qi Yougen what he earned today, and Qi Yougen counted him, surprised: "So much?"

Qi Yue explained to him what happened today, Qi Yougen repeatedly sighed after hearing this, Mr. Qin is really a god with a heart to help the world and save people.

Wu Xiaoxi on the side watched Qi Yue hesitate to speak, Qi Yue winked at him, signaling to talk later.

When the two of them returned to their room, Wu Xiaoxi finally couldn't help it: "Xiao Yue, I know you should have some money, but the family still owes foreign debts, so you..."

"Hush!" Xiao Yue motioned him to keep his voice down, took out his ignorant nine-wen copper coin from his bosom, and handed it to Wu Xiaoxi.

Wu Xiaoxi shook his head again and again: "I can't take it, you can give it to Dad."

Qi Yue pulled him to the side of the bed and sat down, explaining to him: "This money is not for you, but for our family. We have to be filial to our parents, but we also have to live as a young family. You see, when the child is born Now, he wants something, you can’t just let your grandparents ask for it, you have to ask your parents for money if you want to buy something for our child? Mom, give us a lot? It's not appropriate."

Wu Xiaoxi was a little moved: "But, the money owed..."

"Let's pay back the money we owe slowly. 180 Wen is just ten fish baskets, and we can earn it back in five days, not to mention that we only kept some small money."

Wu Xiaoxi was finally persuaded.

Qi Yue looked at him hiding money everywhere with his butt pouted, and smiled helplessly. Even though he kept the nine coins, even though there were the reasons mentioned above to Wu Xiaoxi, it was actually because he found that Wu Xiaoxi was a very insecure person. There is nothing in this world that can bring more sense of security than money in one's own hands

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Qi Yue jumped out of bed, and Wu Xiaoxi also followed him to the riverside in a nervous mood.

Following yesterday's rope, Qi Yue took Yu Quan out of the water, felt the weight in his hand, and the corners of Qi Yue's mouth curled up happily.

"Ah!" Wu Xiaoxi screamed, covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "So big?!"

Yanhe Village is actually at the confluence of the Qingwu River and a small river. The water depth of the Qingwu River is not safe, and the small river is shallow. Wu Xiaoxi caught fish in the small river before, so the fish were very small.

The fish in Yuquan in Qi Yue's hand weighs more than two catties, which is only found in Qingwu River.

Take a closer look: "There is a small one next to it!"

Qi Yue lifted Yu Quan to the shore: "It seems that the fish in this river are not very smart, they were caught so easily."

Wu Xiaoxi looked at him amusedly, but, well, he's really not very smart: "It's still Xiaoyue who is smarter, and came up with such a good idea."

Qi Yue nodded: "I like to hear these words, go back and ask mother to cook the fish, and the fish head will reward you."

Wu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Okay, thank you Xiaoyue."

But Qi Yue didn't eat the fish that he was thinking about right away, breakfast was already ready, and Qi Yougen was in a hurry to go to the quarry after eating.

Liu Fang kept two of them in a wooden basin. The small one was packed up and hung up to dry in the air for storage. The big one was made when the lacquer root came back at night, and the family ate it together.

This method is simple and easy to catch fish. Wu Xiaoxi suggested making up a few more, so as to catch more fish at a time.

Moreover, the time was in a hurry last night, and Yuquan's weaving was crude, and it was already a little damaged during the struggle of Big Yu.

The two of them made bamboo weaving at home during the day, and in the evening, they took three new fish tanks, put the internal organs left by the slaughtered fish in them, and put them in the river. The two returned home happily and prepared to have dinner.

With limited condiments, Liu Fang couldn't cook a fish in any way. A bowl of ordinary braised fish and a bowl of fish head loofah soup, the family happily ate them all.

At first, Liu Fang and Qi Yougen refused to eat more, but Qi Yue told them that as long as Yu Quan was around, they would eat as much fish as they wanted in the future, and the two of them would use their chopsticks.

After knowing how big the fish in the river were, Qi Yue enlarged the small mouth of the fish tank a little. When he went to harvest the next morning, each of the three fish tanks had a grass carp weighing two to three catties. there is none left.

Liu Fang took the grass carp home, and Liu Fang wore it with palm leaves, and asked Qi Yue to give one to Qi Youfeng and Qi Youwang's family. The two families were very surprised. Surrounded by crowds.

Seeing that they like Qiyue, give one to each family, but let them not publicize it.When others find out, they will all come to his house to ask for Yuquan, so he and Wu Xiaoxi don't have to do anything else.

The two families only nodded in agreement. After all, the Qingwu River does not belong to any one family, and anyone can go there. If the bad-hearted person goes directly to the river to steal the fish from their Yuquan, then they can find someone to reason with.

The two families also know the temperament of the people in the village, so naturally they won't say it outside, and they specially told the children in the family not to say anything.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, with Qi Yue and his two brothers from the uncle's family, many people went to the river, and their fishing with Yuquan was discovered.

It's just that the man was hiding it. At the beginning, Qi Yue found that out of the three fish pots he cast, only two had fish in them, and thought that the fish in the river had learned to be smart and would not take the bait anymore.

Of course, it was more likely that there were fewer fish in the river, so Qi Yue reduced his fish pool to two, and in this way, only one fish pool had fish in it.

But Qi Yue has gotten tired of eating fish for a while, now except for Wu Xiaoxi's daily fish soup, Liu Fang puts away all other fish to make salted fish, and only cooks one occasionally.

Originally, he would go happily to harvest the fish basket every day and experience the joy of harvesting, but now Qi Yue looks at the daily increase of dried salted fish under the eaves, and he is starting to feel numb.

It wasn't until Qi Quanduo, the younger brother of the uncle's family, and Qi Quansheng, the second brother of the second uncle's family, came to Qi Yue's house to complain, that Qi Yue didn't know that their fish had been stolen.
