Chapter 120 Big Herring
Zhang An was very happy that the old kite could obey.
After stroking the feathers on its back for a while, I caught a grass carp about the width of two fingers from the fish pond.
Pass it to its mouth and treat it as a reward.
When the old kite saw the fish in his mouth, he opened his eagle's beak and took the fish in his mouth.
Zhang Anke couldn't stand the sight of it trying to eat fish on his shoulder.
Get it away quickly, otherwise you will be filled with fish blood and fishy smell later.
"Since you are so good and obedient, and you will follow me from now on, I have to give you a name. What should I call you?"
This guy has a black back and a flowery belly. Looks like, what is the appropriate name?
At this time, Zhang An’s head was spinning crazily.
Called Heibei? That's definitely not possible. It sounds like a dog, so it definitely can't bark.
"Hey, I have it. From now on, you can just call me Huatou."
Zhang An looked at the old kite on his body. There were many black, white and other things growing on its neck. There are some colorful coat colors.
I decided right now, from now on I will be called Huantou.
Zhang An is very satisfied with the level of his naming. He just burned a lot of brain cells to come up with it.
Zhang An didn’t care whether it understood or not, he just trained it in the space.
It was only when Zhang An called Huatou in the end that it screamed in response.
But I have to say that Huatou’s scream is too sharp.
It barked several times in Zhang An’s ears just now. Zhang An’s ears were buzzing now and he couldn’t bear it.
I still feel like I can’t hear clearly.
In this way, Zhang An's eagle has been trained.
Since there is space, Zhang An doesn’t need to put in any effort.
When you just need to train the falcon, spend more time.
But Zhang An doesn’t seem like a person who lacks time in space.
If those who tamed the falcon knew that Zhang An trained the falcon like this.
I will definitely shout, brothers, it’s okay.
Indeed, Zhang An is just an old wall hanging.
So what Zhang An said to others, such as "If Yang Fei is fat and thin, it will be bad if it is not done by hand", he directly filtered it out.
He believed that the eagle would be very obedient, and if it disobeyed, he would cut off its food rations.
The attraction of your own space to animals is greater than imagined.
Moreover, this space is of great help to animals or plants, but not so much to people.
It’s just that the space spring water has some nourishing effect on the human body.
Zhang An can clearly understand this by observing the changes in his parents over this period of time.
Their bodies are well nourished by the spring water, but not too exaggerated.
Of course Zhang An himself is not included, especially the strength of this body.
This may be an influence of space on Zhang An's body.
At this time, the big leopard next to him saw Zhang An feeding fish to the old kite, and also brought the little leopard to Zhang An.
"Why are you joining in the fun? I haven't decided to accept you yet, really."
But Zhang An still caught several fish and fed them to him and the two little flowers. Leopard.
The two little things have grown a little now, and their appetites have increased.
Zhang An made a fuss with them for a while, then let the flower head out and let it play with itself in the space.
The Huabao family of three wanted to play with Zhang An for a while, but they were photographed away by Zhang An.
Then Zhang An ran to the side and started cultivating saplings, especially the involucrata saplings he found earlier.
Zhang An was thinking about planting a few trees in the yard. When conditions permit, he would plant more varieties.
There is also a batch of cherry and peach tree saplings that need to be cultivated.
Ding Yi called Zhang An some time ago and his supermarket plan received support from his family.
It has already started, and it will be able to open normally by next year.
So Ding Yi mentioned these things from Zhang An’s family and asked Zhang An if he could expand production.
If it were seasonal vegetables, Zhang An would definitely not want to do it, because it would not be very profitable and would be troublesome.
Because there is no concept of green vegetables yet, if you sell them at a high price, others will not want to buy them.
But this fruit is hard to say, especially the cherries at home.
So Zhang An plans to plant some cherry or peach trees in the village, especially on the barren hill behind the circle house.
When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to talk to my uncle and see if I can take over the contract.
Anyway, this barren mountain is still barren, with only a few families growing some vegetables on it.
Then there are sparse dwarf fir trees, and the rest are all weedy prickly pear bushes.
This barren mountain behind was disliked by everyone for some reason when the land was divided.
Because this is a piece of yellow soil, everyone calls it Loess Slope.
The quality of the land is not comparable to other places, and the yield of crops is too low.
But this is not the main reason. What makes everyone dislike it is that there are many exposed stones on the loess slopes.
Where there are no stones, there are only small patches, not even comparable to terraced fields.
When plowing, the animals dragging the plow can't move.
The ground can only be plowed manually with a hoe, which is very labor-intensive.
So when people plant such land, the effort is not proportional to the harvest, and no one is willing to work on it.
As a result, it has been deserted for a long time. At most, a few families nearby grow some vegetables at the foot of the slope.
So Zhang An planned to discuss it with his uncle at some time.
If possible, secure this land, because it is right behind Zhang An's house.
When we plant a piece of cherry and peach on it, it won’t look so desolate.
Although the location of the cherry tree is quite picky, Zhang An is not worried about this issue at all.
When spring comes, there will be large swathes of cherry blossoms and peach blossoms blooming there. It’s so beautiful. Someone will definitely like to come and see it.
Zhang An spent a lot of effort and finally got a large sapling.
When they grow longer, Zhang An plans to move them to the yard behind.
After seeing that nothing happened, Zhang An left the space and placed the flowers in the space for the time being.
If you tell people that you have trained an eagle in one afternoon, they will definitely not believe it.
So Zhang An simply let it stay in the space and wait a day or two before letting it out to see the world, lest it be afraid of other people in the village.
Zhang An glanced at the time and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.
Open the window of the room and prepare to take a refreshing nap on the bed.
After autumn comes, Qiuhuhu is as enthusiastic as ever.
I’m afraid it will take some time before the crisp autumn weather appears.
However, although the sun here is strong, as long as you are not naked under the sun, you will not feel too hot.
Just for this reason, there is a reason why so many people will come here to escape the summer heat.
So Zhang An lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
When Zhang An woke up again, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
He didn't wake up by himself, but was awakened by a noisy sound by the river.
Zhang An rubbed his eyes, got up and got out of bed and walked to the window to see what was happening outside.
When he walked to the window, he found that many people were gathered around the river.
They were probably watching other people fishing. Judging from the situation, someone should have caught a big fish. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion.
I’m already awake anyway, I just slept very comfortably.
Zhang An had no intention of continuing to sleep, so he picked up two slippers and went out.
Walk towards the river where the crowd gathered, planning to join in the fun.
Zhang An walked to the river and found that people around him were surrounding a man in his thirties.
This is an old man wearing a blue coat. Some are helping to make suggestions, while others are holding their breath.
Zhang An glanced around and found that the fishermen around him had put down their poles and had gathered around.
Don’t think about it, those who make suggestions are people fishing in the surrounding areas.
Most of the people watching the excitement next to them were people from the village who were fine.
I saw that the fishing rod in this old man’s hand had been stretched into the shape of a bow.
It seems that the fish caught are not small, and such a thick pole can be pulled like this.
His hands were also held up, and some bulging veins could be seen on his hands.
No wonder everyone stopped fishing and came over to join in the fun.
Zhongyu’s middle-aged brother obviously has some skills. As the saying goes, a capable person doesn’t panic at all.
I could only see him concentrating on holding the fishing rod in his hand and sliding the big guy in the water.
"Brother, if you can't hold it anymore, remember to call us. This pair weighs at least twenty pounds."
Besides there was a bald old man wearing sunglasses and denim shorts. He said while looking into the water.
When the people nearby heard this, they all expressed that they could help.
It’s rare to catch such a big fish, these people want to have fun.
Time passed minute by minute, but the fish on my brother’s rod still did not come out of the water. No one knew how big it would be.
The situation has been so deadlocked that Zhang An is a little worried about what to do if the line is disconnected later.
Although everyone said they could help, I didn’t call anyone for help and just walked slowly by myself.
This is the last stubbornness of a fisherman. If the fish you hooked cannot escape, you should stop fishing in the future.
While the sun is always shining in the sky, I have to hold the fishing rod hard to slide the fish.
Brother is now sweating profusely, dripping down.
More than ten minutes passed quickly, and the big fish in the river finally stopped struggling.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retracted the line and pulled the fish to the shore.
Just when everyone thought that the fish had been slipped out of strength, it started to move again.
He rushed out suddenly, but without paying attention, he was pulled forward and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Zhang An quickly grabbed his brother.
I dragged him back forcefully, otherwise he would have been pulled into the water just now.
No one expected that this fish was so cunning.
First pretend to have no strength, let the people on the shore relax, and then launch a sneak attack.
If this guy is pulled into the river, the fish will definitely run away dragging the fishing rod.
"Thank you so much, brother, otherwise I would have gone down."
I didn't dare to relax any more, so I thanked Zhang An while slipping the fish.
Hurry up and put the thread on the reel in your hand, otherwise the thread will break if both sides exert force later.
“It’s no big deal, it’s nothing. Come on, brother, get this big guy up and let everyone see who he is and how powerful he is.”
Zhang An waved his hand. , and cheer for the elder brother.
Then the eldest brother wandered away for another ten or twenty minutes, almost falling off the pole several times.
Fortunately, I still have some skills and sneaked back cleverly.
If it were anyone else, he would have run away long ago.
Finally, the brother saw that the fish was no longer struggling, and slowly took the line back.
Based on the lesson learned last time, I didn’t dare to be careless this time.
After nearly an hour, the big guy was finally dragged to the shore after being exhausted.
This big guy finally showed his true face, a big herring more than two feet long.
This fish is like a doll when held up, it is too big.
"Pa"
Suddenly, the fish burst into flames, and suddenly its tail fanned in the air.
There was an old man nearby who was watching the fun. He got slapped on the tail because he was the closest.
The sound of the slap in the face just now was very loud. It can be seen that the person who was slapped was really slapped.
From the fact that his face was red from being slapped and is still swollen like a fishtail, it shows that the force just now was quite strong.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The elder brother holding the fish hurried forward to ask. He really didn't know that this fish could slap its tail.
I was a little worried about being accused of being slapped by myself later.
"It's okay, brother. This guy slapped him so hard that his face was swollen. Brother, you are awesome."
The same goes for the brother who was slapped. A generous person who doesn't care at all.
Only he knows how much his face hurts.
At this time, there were people in the village who liked to join in the fun, so they went straight home and brought a steel scale over.
When everyone saw that the scales were ready, they all said to weigh it.
The big brother in blue didn’t show any pretense, he directly took the nylon bag and packed the fish.
Then he hung it on the scale hook and started weighing it. It was difficult for one person to lift it up.
Seeing this, Zhang An extended his hand to help lift the steelyard, letting everyone shout for their strength.
This doesn’t mean I don’t know, but I was shocked when I said it. Good guy, it’s a full thirty-five pounds.
It was almost as big as the giant salamander that Zhang An found that night.
And this big herring is completely wild and was not released from space by Zhang An.
Otherwise, Zhang An would definitely know about such a big fish.
The strength of wild herring cannot be underestimated.
It is not comparable to the fish put into the dark pits of later generations.
“Oh, it’s amazing, I caught such a big fish.”
More and more people came to see it, even the old village chief came.
“That’s not true, otherwise people would come here specifically to fish, and you think it’s just a small fight like us.”
Faced with everyone’s compliments, the man in blue is obviously Some are too much.
His face was flushed, and he didn’t know whether it was because he was sneaking around just now or because everyone was flattering him.
"This fish is so strong, I almost pulled it away. I have to thank this brother for helping me just now."
As the brother said, he thanked Zhang An again. .
“Fortunately, I had a hunch today and changed the follower rod directly, otherwise it might have broken. Fishing in this big river is much more enjoyable than those in small rivers and ditches.”
What’s in front of me Brother is obviously here for entertainment and not to make money by fishing.
“Brother, do you want to sell this fish?”
Obviously someone nearby wanted to pay attention to this fish and asked if he wanted to sell it.
“I’m sorry, I don’t plan to sell this fish. I plan to take it back home myself. This is the first time I have caught such a big fish. I plan to take it home to show to the people at home. Otherwise, the family will My mother-in-law said every day that all I catch are small shrimps.”
What the man in blue said clearly aroused the sympathy of the fishermen around him, and they all agreed.
Most of the guys who like fishing don’t have a harmonious family.
