Tang Jiancheng and others arrived at Haoshan Reservoir, where Liu Facai and his group had been waiting for a long time.
"Tang Jiancheng, you are finally here. We thought you didn't dare to come?" Liu Facai came over with a smile and scattered cigarettes for Tang Jiancheng and his family.
Tang Jiancheng took it, pinned it to his ears, looked at the dark crowd in front of him, and asked: "Liu Facai, how many people did you call?"
Liu Facai smiled and said: "There are eleven households in our Liujia Village, and there are thirteen households in Chen Tianfu's Chenjia'ao. Including your six households, there are exactly thirty households. There are so many people because their families are a little worried. I wanted to come over and see the actual situation.”
Tang Jiancheng asked: "Does this mean these people are not sure they will stay?"
Liu Facai smiled and said nothing, but his meaning was already obvious.
At this time, Chen Tianfu also came over and told Tang Jiancheng about the situation in Chenjia'ao Village, but he was not completely sure yet.
Tang Jiancheng stepped onto a stone and was immediately taller than everyone else. He then said loudly: "Everyone, I am Tang Jiancheng from Daping Village, and I am also one of the initiators of this joint fishing. I have a few points to share here. Let’s all make it clear.”
"First, we are not guaranteed to catch fish. We may be busy all night but not even catch a fish."
"Second, we cannot guarantee that there will be no danger. After all, we are fishing at night. As for fishing during the day, the effect is too poor. At the end of the day, we probably won't catch any fish unless we have large equipment. Of course, with those equipment, we There is no need to jointly fish.”
"Third, I will keep 30% of every fishing harvest, and you will share the rest equally."
"If you agree, you can stay. If you don't agree, you can go back now."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly exploded.
"You can't guarantee anything, and you still have 30% of it. Why?"
"Mad, they are just using us as coolies. Forget it, I don't care about this little money!"
"It's so dark! If you don't say anything even if you don't promise, you still eat the big head. How can there be such a shameless person in the world? Let's go, let's go, let's go fishing by myself. Wouldn't it be better?"
"As a leader, it is reasonable to monopolize 30%. In some places, it is directly divided into half. He is a very conscientious person."
"Although there is no guarantee, this guy must have something if he dares to talk about joint fishing. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to sleep at home on such a cold and snowy day?"
There are different opinions, some criticize Tang Jiancheng, and some support it.
In the end, six households were left in Liujia Village, and six households were left in Chenjiaao. What made Tang Jiancheng speechless was that his second brother saw the uneven ice in the reservoir and listened to people around him about freezing to death. After the tragic situation of those eight people, they resolutely went home.
Even if Tang Genshui tried to force him to stay, he couldn't!
In the end, only sixteen households stayed here.
To Tang Jiancheng's surprise, the young man named Liu Yi who he rescued that day also stayed.
"Isn't there a funeral in your family right now? You..." Tang Jiancheng walked to him.
Liu Yi sighed: "My family is poor."
After hearing this, Tang Jiancheng said nothing more.
Who would be willing to stay and take risks if not because of poverty?
Tang Jiancheng agreed with everyone to gather here at three o'clock in the morning.
After returning home, Tang Jiancheng ate quickly and went to bed.
The children knew that he had to do things at night, so they tried not to talk or make any noise, and they would whisper anything.
In the early morning, Tang Jiancheng woke up.
Looking at his pocket watch, it was 1:49. Tang Jiancheng got up quickly, washed up, put on his thick cotton jacket, picked up the prepared fishing net, and then went out to call some brothers.
By the time everyone is done, it will be almost half past two.
Then, we walked quickly towards the Haoshan Reservoir. Fifteen minutes had passed since we arrived at the place.
Liu Facai, Liu Yi, Chen Tianfu and others have arrived.
No one lit a torch, they all walked by the faint light of the snow.
I have to say that people in this era have really good eyesight!
When they saw Tang Jiancheng and others coming, none of them said anything and just looked at Tang Jiancheng.
Tang Jiancheng didn't say anything and took everyone directly to the ice of the reservoir.
On the ice, there are already many people quietly chipping away at the ice to catch fish. However, most of them are one or two people, and their movements are very small. They are still afraid of breaking the ice like they did a few days ago. If it falls into the water, it's over.
Seeing Tang Jiancheng and the others rushing down, almost everyone looked up. Tang Jiancheng ignored these people and led them directly to the center of the reservoir.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw that there was no one around anymore.
Tang Jiancheng began to assign tasks.
Most of the people were scattered around in a rectangular shape, occupying a large area of land. Then, only eight people were left to dig ice holes and put fishing nets.
Tang Jiancheng first carefully searched for places to dig ice holes in the ice based on his previous experience, and then selected five places.
After digging the hole in the ice and putting down the fishing nets, everyone began to wait quietly.
Tang Jiancheng was still walking around, looking for a place to lower his fishing net tomorrow.
There are many fish in the reservoir, but not every place can catch fish. You must choose correctly, otherwise, you may not be able to catch even a single hair in one night.
While waiting, there were indeed people who wanted to come to the site they occupied to fish, but they were all persuaded to leave.
Some people were grumpy and quarreled with Liu Facai and others, but when they saw Liu Facai waving his hand to summon a group of people, those people immediately gave up and went elsewhere obediently.
Two hours later, the sky was already getting slightly brighter.
"It's time to set up the net!"
Tang Jiancheng said.
"The net is up!"
Chen Tianfu was very ceremonial and actually shouted along. Suddenly, everyone shouted in unison.
Everyone started the first network.
Watching the fishing net being slowly pulled out, it was easy at first, but everyone was a little nervous and a little worried. What if there are no fish?
Tang Jiancheng was very calm.
He seemed confident in his skill at selecting fishing spots.
"Oh! It's so heavy!"
"Haha, there are fish in this net, there are many fish!"
"It's made, it's made! Hahaha..."
Soon the man in charge of pulling the net was laughing.
"Don't worry, pay attention to safety, don't twist the fishing net, let alone fall down!" Tang Jiancheng told him quickly.
Everyone quickly calmed down and slowly pulled out the fishing net.
Densely packed with fish!
Each one weighs at least five or six pounds!
"Hahaha, fishing with Tang Jiancheng is really fun!" Liu Facai, Chen Tianfu and others also laughed happily.
Liu Yi was already smiling like a fool.
In the past, he, his father and his brother came to fish, and there were catches every day, but they were very small. The largest one weighed only more than 80 kilograms!
But this time, at a glance, the first net contained at least six to seven hundred kilograms of fish!
After the first net was pulled out, everyone couldn't help but look forward to the harvest of the second net.
