Chapter 696 Fishing
“You’re still short of spirit! What nonsense!” Jiang Hongxing is obviously suitable for the central government’s consistent caliber, and his logic is also very simple: “What year does the Jiachuan River not take a few lives? Will God be dissatisfied with the large number of offerings?"
This sentence made everyone happy, but Zhou Zhi felt embarrassed: "I know. There won’t be a next time.”
Jiang Hongxing then smiled: “Go home and tell me, you see, you just came to the door and gave me a talk. I don’t welcome you. Ah, how many times have the guests talked about you!”
Because the main industry on the island is sugar cane, summer is actually a slack period for farmers here.
The weather is hot, and there are few people coming to the island. The whole village is used to moving in the morning and evening, but it is quiet during the day.
Only when we arrived at the gate of the manor, Jiang Hongxing’s guest had already brought out the boiled corn and potatoes. The boss put a pot on the table: “We don’t have much to entertain rare guests, so let’s eat and play first. , I'm going to get you some sugar and tomatoes!"
"Stop working, they brought us wine and a big watermelon!" Jiang Hongxing said with a smile.
"What a shame, why are you guys with bare elbows and still holding the tire?" Jiang Hongxingtang guest was surprised: "You didn't take the ferry and swam here from Shida Town?"
Jiang Hongxing rolled her eyes: "These kids are so courageous that they floated down from Jiachuan River holding tires!"
"Ouch, what's going to happen?!" Jiang Hongxing's guest was frightened and fell back: "You can't do this!"
"If you want to play in the water, just play by the water. Use the ones at home. If you rake the shrimps away, they won't be able to dry under the bamboo forest!" After saying this, he felt that it would be better to remove them than to block them, so he helped the children with their ideas.
"Ah yes!" Zhou Zhi suddenly felt itchy and unbearable: "We will catch fish later!"
"Can you move the bamboo reel? Wen Yu should be about the same strength." Jiang Hongxing said: " I have a big shop at home, which is for adults to play with.”
“Then I have to try it!” Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
Jiang Hongxing went into the house, and soon he carried out a large bamboo pole and several small bamboo poles, with a large net wrapped on them. This is the net commonly used by Jiachuan people for fishing in summer.
Putting the bamboo basket on the ground, he went in and took out a net with a lead pendant at the bottom. In Jiachuan dialect, "cutting the net" is actually a cover net, throwing a circle to cover the fish. , and then collect the rope to bring the lead pendants together to trap the fish in the net and collect the rope.
"You are not serious!" The guest was cutting tomatoes, and when he saw Jiang Hongxing's movement, he spat: "The kids haven't had a rest yet!"
"Auntie, let's go! "My friends, when you see these, how can you I couldn't bear it: "I didn't come here on foot, so there's no need to rest!"
After packing up all the net gear, Jiang Hongxing led her friends towards the river. Even Jiang Shuyi, Feng Xueshan and the others were very excited. Excited, I picked up the shrimp rake and fish basket and followed behind.
When they came to a relatively gentle slope, Jiang Hongxing said, "You guys can play here. It's very flat here with wire grass underneath, which is suitable for scraping shrimps and raking."
"How do you play with this?" "Jiang Shuyi asked.
"I can, I can!" Wei Fei and Zhang Lu raised their hands together. Dahe and Qianwang looked very heavy. Both of them were relatively small and felt that they couldn't control them, so they decided to join the girls' side. .
Zhou Zhi Yang He and Fang Wenyu followed Jiang Hongxing to a place downstream. Here they first tied four thin bamboo poles into a cross, then hung the four corners of the net on the bamboo poles, and then tied the center of the cross Tie it to a thick bamboo pole and tie a pull rope with small wooden sticks as crossbars, and an ancient net - the big bamboo pole - is assembled.
Put the big net upright and pull the rope to control it to fall forward into the water. The big net held by the cross bamboo poles will sink into the water and fall to the bottom.
After five or six minutes, when the disturbed fish in the water return, you can set up the net to catch the fish.
Except for the strength needed to catch fish, there are no other skills. The only skill is to control the rope when retracting and releasing it, so as not to let the big net tilt around. "Who's going to go boating with me?" Jiang Hongxing asked, "There's a barrage on the boat."
"Let's all go." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Don't you, sir?" Yang He and I know how to operate a boat."
"Then Wenyu will catch fish here," Jiang Hongxing said, "I will come back and take over for you after I teach them how to do it."
They found a small boat at the entrance of a small ditch, and the three of them got on the boat. Jiang Hongxing stood at the bow, Zhou Zhi in the middle, and Yang He at the stern.
The boat rowed upstream along the slow water between the river and the turning water. Jiang Hongxing knew at a glance that Yang He was really an expert. He gave a thumbs up to show his approval, and then pointed out the way to lower the net. Location.
I still vaguely remember the terrain there. It is also a strange "stone forest", which is a wonder in winter.
“It’s just a fish nest in the summer.” Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: “But you can only lower the wire mesh, and you have to cut the net to get rid of the fish.”
The wire mesh is composed of three layers of mesh. , there is a large-eye net in the middle, and the outer two layers are small-eye nets. Because the fish will not move backwards, it can only continue to drill after touching the net, and it will be trapped in the net.
The net is strung on a bamboo pole. Zhou Zhi is responsible for pushing the net to Jiang Hongxing, and Xiang Hongxing is responsible for wiping the net into the water little by little.
The net is equipped with a bottom sink and a float, and it needs to be towed in places where the current is too strong, otherwise it will be washed into a mess by the current. Therefore, when setting off the net during high water periods, the location selection is very critical.
Only old natives like Jiang Hongxing can find the right place.
After lowering the net, Jiang Hongxing began to chop the net and catch fish.
This net weighs sixteen kilograms, which is quite a large piece of heavy equipment. Once the net is spread out, it will be ten steps wide, and the area is quite large.
The place where the net is cast is just outside the place where the wire net is lowered. Another purpose of fishing here is to drive the escaping fish that escape the net to the other side of the wire net.
The first net was netted and there was a harvest. Three fish were caught in the net, one was a crucian carp weighing more than half a kilogram, a carp weighing more than a kilogram, and a long and thin strip with a sharp mouth and round belly, which was almost a kilogram. Jiang Hongxing smiled and said: "You guys are blessed with elbows." "
"Shui Mizi, it's rare to see such a big Jiachuan!" Zhou Zhi was also surprised and happy: "It seems that I am not needed here, I will move with the commander!"
After saying that, he flipped into the water and swam towards the shore.
There are not many opportunities to move big fish on the raft, but in places with good resources, the nets are almost full. After pulling up the big raft, you can see that there are many small fish and shrimps in it.
The big one was crucian carp, but it was different from the one Jiang Hongxing caught with a chopping net. The largest one was only about the length of a palm.
The small ones are just some miscellaneous fish, white striped wheat ears and the like. The large ones are one card, which is the maximum length that can be opened from the thumb to the middle finger. The small ones are as long as the little finger.
There are even smaller ones, those are grass shrimps.
“Hahaha, it’s true!” Fang Wenyu rarely played these games and was so excited: “What should we do now?!”
