When the two arrived at the river, they found that there were many people catching lobsters with flashlights.
Crayfish are nocturnal creatures. They hide under water plants or in deep water during the day and come out and be active in shallow water at night.
Therefore, as long as you shine a flashlight on it and use a scoop net to scoop it up quickly, you can catch it.
When people from Chenjia Village saw Chen Wang and his companion, they all greeted them.
Many people who came to catch lobsters in the past two days made money from Chen Wang.
Of course, some people can guess that since Chen Wang is willing to spend money to acquire this thing, he must make more money, but for the time being no one knows how Chen Wang makes money through this.
This morning, some villagers saw Lao Zhao driving a tractor and taking Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang to the town.
Then there was news from Chen Wang’s next-door neighbors, Chen Wentao and his wife, saying that Chen Wang and his wife were busy in the kitchen before dawn, apparently preparing to cook the lobsters into delicious food.
In this regard, the villagers were envious and jealous, but also wanted to have a better relationship with Chen Wang.
Chen Wang always nodded politely in response.
"Fuck, Awang, someone is messing with our trap over there."
Chen Dazhuang suddenly swore and rushed out.
Chen Wang looked and saw two figures not far away, pulling their trap out of the river.
"Stop! What are you doing? That's our trap."
Chen Dazhuang pointed at the two men and shouted angrily.
The two men were startled, and one of them threw the trap into the water in panic, and the two ran away.
"Fuck you, stop right there!"
Chen Dazhuang threw away the bucket in his hand and gritted his teeth to chase after him.
The figure running behind was holding a bucket in his hand, but he couldn't run fast at all. Seeing that he was about to be caught up, he threw the bucket away, and the fish and shrimps inside were scattered all over the ground.
The people didn't catch up in the end, but fortunately they arrived in time and kept all the harvest in the two traps dug by the two men.
Chen Wang knew he couldn't catch up, so he ran to the discarded bucket and stopped. He squatted down, grabbed the fish and shrimp on the ground and threw them into the bucket.
"Son of a bitch, you're running too fast, or I'll break their legs."
Chen Dazhuang came back cursing and breathing heavily.
"Did you see what it looked like?"
Chen Wang struggled to catch an eel and threw it into the bucket, then asked.
"without."
Chen Dazhuang shook his head.
"Those two people are from the next village, not our village."
A familiar voice came.
The two looked in the direction of the sound, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Old Joe? Why are you here?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
"I heard you were buying these lobsters. I have nothing to do tonight, so I came over to catch some."
Old Qiao raised the landing net in his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you guys set this trap. I was just watching the fun nearby and thought it was set by those two young men!"
"Old Joe, do you know those two bastards?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a serious face.
"I know who it is, but forget it. You don't have much to lose. They won't dare to do it again in the future."
Old Joe smiled and said.
"Old Joe, you can't say that. They are stealing. If we don't teach them a lesson, our traps will be stolen frequently in the future."
Chen Dazhuang said with a serious face.
"Not really. Everyone has seen what happened just now. No one will dare to touch your traps again."
"Old Qiao, we are from the same village. Are you sure you want to help outsiders?"
"That's not what I meant. I mean it's better to have less trouble than more."
Old Joe said with a wry smile.
"Brother Zhuang, forget it!"
Chen Wang spoke directly, interrupting Chen Dazhuang who was about to say something.
What Lao Qiao said was right. It would be fine if we caught him on the spot, but the problem is that we didn’t catch him.
Even if you go to their door and they refuse to admit it, there's nothing you can do. It's just a waste of time.
Chen Dazhuang snorted, frowned and glared at Lao Qiao, still a little angry.
"Da Zhuang, stop glaring at me. I just know that the brothers' father is Wu Dashan. I don't know where he lives. If you really want to find him, just go to the next village and ask."
Old Qiao smiled helplessly and added, "We have worked together a few times before, and Old Wu is also an honest man."
"Okay, let's forget about this. Let's quickly collect the other cages and go back to rest."
Chen Wang took over the conversation.
Chen Dazhuang's anger also subsided.
He actually didn't intend to dwell on it, he just felt that Old Joe was being too treacherous.
The three of them came to the river together. Lao Qiao told them that the two traps had been collected. Chen Wang and the other man then collected the remaining three traps, put bait in them, and continued to throw them into the river.
Including the two ground traps that had been lifted up earlier, they were also pulled up and baited.
Some people who came to catch lobsters nearby watched this scene and started to talk in low voices, discussing whether they should also go buy a few traps and put them back in the river.
These days, the resources in the river are really good.
There were only five ground cages, and Chen Wang and his companion brought two buckets, one of which was full and the other was half full.
A few decades later, this would be simply impossible. Having half a bucket of small fish and shrimp would be considered a big harvest.
Seeing Lao Qiao still catching lobsters with a flashlight not far away, Chen Wang greeted him.
"Old Joe, let's go back first."
"Okay, I'll catch it for a while."
Old Joe responded loudly.
Afterwards, Chen Wang and his companion carried the bucket back home.
Yan Yulan and others are still processing lobsters, and they have already prepared about four to five hundred kilograms.
