One half buckets slowly went to the center of the weir pond.

Now, there are about 20 half buckets in the entire weir pond, and father and third uncle are also on one and a half buckets.

Of course Li Fan is also on the half barrel, and he operates this thing more easily and casually. In addition to Li Fan on the half-barrel, there were two bear children, Xiaoyatou, Xiaodong and Xiaoping.

Li Fan didn't intend to let the three little guys come up, but the three little guys "brother, brother, brother" begged for a long time, and there was no danger, so Li Fan agreed.

Li Fan paddled half the bucket, and the three little guys were lying on the edge of the half bucket, reaching into the water with two hands, letting the water flow across their arms. From time to time, he grabbed a handful of duckweed from the water and threw it out from a distance, having a great time.

Duckweed is a common floating plant in weir ponds, with symmetrical fronds, green on the surface, light yellow or greenish white on the back, and some are purple. Nearly round, obovate or obovate-elliptic, entire.

Floating in pieces on the water, one grab is a lot.

Of course, not all water has duckweed. The entire weir pond has duckweed water area, which accounts for about two-tenths of the entire area.

It is enough to clean a part of these duckweeds, and you don't need to clean them all.

About 20 and a half buckets moved back and forth on the surface of the water, and water plants, branches, bamboo poles, and some duckweed were quickly cleaned up.

Everyone went ashore one after another, and half of the barrels were also moved ashore. Next is the net fish that everyone is most looking forward to.

In fact, people are often more interested in the process of netting fish than eating fish. It's not just net fish, but also other methods of catching fish.

For example, after heavy rains, rivers, streams, ditches, and some farmland will rise. At this time, the bear children, young people, and even older people in the village would use the fence made of strips to catch fish in the gaps in the water.

Place the fence flat or slightly at an angle at the gap of the running water, and fix it, and find some water plants around it to form a circle.

Just stay by the fence in this way, and from time to time there will be all kinds of fish, big or small, that are washed onto the fence by the running water, and you can catch fish directly on the fence.

The main reason why everyone is so interested in catching fish is to enjoy the process of catching fish and the surprise of rushing out of a fish from time to time.

The same is true for net fish. Whenever the net receives the net from the shore, everyone feels very excited to watch the big and small fish jubilation in the net.

Of course, in addition to this method of pulling a net to fish, there is also a common method of fishing, which is to cast a net to fish.

Whenever a villager took a half bucket to cast a net in the weir pond to fish, there would always be a group of people watching the excitement around the weir pond. When the fishing villagers collect the thrown nets and there are fish in them, it often attracts cheers from the lively people on the shore.

What Li Fan and the others are going to do today is naturally to pull a net to fish.

Pull net fishing sometimes needs to go into the water. Fortunately, it is mid-October, the weather is not cold, and everyone does not feel cold when entering the water. If it is winter, it will be a little troublesome.

This weir pond is too big, basically in the shape of a square, with a length of more than 80 meters on one side. Therefore, the fishing net prepared by Li Fan is also super long, but it is not easy to pull such a long fishing net in the weir pond.

The net needs to be pulled down from one side of the weir pond to the opposite side, and then the net is closed.

However, everyone was confident and excited. There has never been such a long net. How many fish are there when this net comes up? Just think about it and get excited.

Because the net is too long, the water in the weir pond is too deep, reaching a depth of 5 meters. Therefore, before putting down the net, you need to tie some rocks to the underwater side of the net so that the net can sink to the bottom.

Of course, the stone shouldn't be too heavy. The weight that can make the net sink to the bottom is the most suitable. If the stone is too heavy, Li Fan estimates that all the people here will not be able to pull it in the end.

"Pay attention to everyone, and start to get off the net." After the stones were tied, Li Qi shouted, directing everyone to get off the net.

Everyone chose to pull the net from south to north, because the shore of the weir pond in the north is relatively flat, which is convenient for loading fish after the net is set up.

To the south of the weir pond, everyone slowly lowered the side of the net with the stone into the water. After the net enters the water, it slowly sinks under the action of the stone.

After about a minute, the net seemed to sink to the bottom. Li Qi shouted: "Go down two people, check if it is?"

"Okay! I'm going down." Two people agreed at the same time, then took off their underwear and put on only a pair of underwear, and then a fierce man plunged into the water.

About two minutes later, the two men surfaced and signaled that the nets had all sunk to the bottom.

The next step is to pull the net. Before the net was launched into the water, the rope was already tied.

There are 5 ropes tied at equal distances on the upper and lower sides of the net, and each rope is 100 meters long.

The four ropes at both ends of the net were pulled by four groups of people on the east and west banks of the weir pond. The six ropes in the middle passed directly through the weir pond and were pulled by the six groups standing on the north bank of the weir pond.

There are 10 ropes in the entire net, which are pulled together by 10 groups of people. This scene is quite spectacular.

There are more and more villagers looking around, and the villagers have never seen such a big net. Many people simply automatically join the team that pulls the net. Although I used the strength of breastfeeding, I felt quite enjoyable.

Fortunately, the net is not an ordinary net, otherwise such a drawing would have long been broken.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the net began to move from south to north little by little.

"Haha! Pulled." Everyone cheered. But everyone also knows that now is just the beginning, and the net will become heavier and heavier in the future, because there will be more and more fish in it.

...

Just when Li Fan and others struggled to pull the net.

Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia have arrived at the entrance of Sansheng Village. Judging from the suitcases they were dragging, they didn't carry much.

"Old man, how much does it cost to repair these things so well?" Zhang Xia looked at the buildings at the entrance of the village. After she was surprised, she was very worried that Li Fan would be able to make a profit after spending so much money.

Zheng Jie was also slightly surprised. When he came last time, construction had just started here, and he didn't expect that the repairs would be so good. And looking at the structure of the building that is still under construction, the scale is obviously not small.

However, he was not worried about whether Li Fan could make money in the future. The kid will never do things that are unsure.

He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Let's go in. After you go in, you will know if the photos I took last time are deceptive."

"I believe it now. You can get a glimpse of the scenery in the village just from the entrance of the village," Zhang Xia said. She only now knew why Zheng Jie kept talking about moving in.

Because, before entering the village, she already liked this place.

Zheng Jie smiled triumphantly when Zhang Xia said this. Just as he was about to enter the village, he turned his head but suddenly realized that two people were sitting not far away with their backs to them, their backs were very familiar.
