Chapter 39: Half a pound heavy! Extra large!
Zhao Dahai returned home and asked his grandma Zhong Cuihua. He pulled out a box from the corner of the back room and opened it. There were several fishing rods, spinning wheels and raft fishing wheels neatly arranged. Lines, fish hooks, and floating lead weights were all available. They were things that my father had used before. I thought about them after seeing them. It took me a while to calm down, and I took out a raft rod and a raft fishing wheel and put them on the line. I tried it after assembling it, and there was no problem. The hook and lead were all ready.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua while having dinner that he would go fishing for Shi Jiugong tomorrow morning. If there are other more profitable fish, he must look at others. If not, Shi Jiugong is good. If you can make a little bit, it’s better. It's much better than sitting around at home and doing nothing.
After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, the sky was not completely dark. He thought of the vegetables grown behind the house. He had been too busy catching jumping fish in the past few days to care about it. Now that he had time, he went to the back of the house and started eating. Seeing that the vegetable seedlings are about the same size, one finger high, they are green and very pleasing to the eye. The soil is wet when I touch it. It seems that grandma Zhong Cuihua just watered it not long ago. The beans and loofah seedlings have grown a lot. I raised my head and looked at it. I looked at the sky. It was not completely dark. The moon had already come out. The moonlight must be good. I have to go fishing tomorrow and I have no time. So I might as well transplant the vegetable seedlings now. I went back to the yard and took a small hoe. I dug up the vegetable seedlings and dug a small hole. After planting the trees and watering them, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening before I knew it. I immediately went back to take a shower and go to bed. I would have to wake up early tomorrow.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai simply cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge and fried two salted fish. Grandma Zhong Cuihua weaved fishing nets and did not go to bed until two or three in the morning without waking up. She finished breakfast by herself, took the raft pole and prepared things, and carried Carrying a bucket and two mesh bags, I went out and walked towards the dock.
Zhao Dahai arrived at the pier, and the fishing boats in the village that went fishing just came back. He bought two yuan of shrimps, and took the time to stride towards the reef area.
"What is Zhao Dahai doing? Is he going to catch crab and tiger fish again?"
......
"Hey!"
"Where are the crabs and tiger fish?!"
"The sun comes out from the west, right?!"
......
Zhong Shizhu picked up the anchor and threw it in In the sea, water splashed everywhere, and he smiled and said that Zhao Dahai was going to fish for Shi Jiugong.
“No way?!”
“This thing is worthless at all.”
……
“Why are you going to all this trouble?”
……
“What are you doing? Sitting and talking doesn’t hurt my back. Zhao Dahai has no fishing boat and can’t go out to sea. It’s good to be able to fish for Shijiu.”
...
"Ha!"
"Why don't you continue to catch jumping fish!"
...
Zhong Shizhu looked a little ugly. . The people in the village were a little gloated when they heard that Zhao Dahai was fishing for Shi Jiugong. If you tell this matter to yourself, Zhao Dahai will definitely not be happy if he knows it, but if you tell it, you can't take back the water that was thrown out.
Zhao Dahai climbed up the reef. It was the time of high tide, the wind was not big and the waves were not big. It was a good fishing weather, so he did not waste time and started to prepare immediately. The fishing rig for Shi Jiugong was very simple, with a lead pendant and a For a figure-eight ring, just leave one meter of sub-thread under the figure-eight ring and tie it with a hook.
Zhao Dahai grabbed a small shrimp he just bought and peeled off the shell, leaving only the shrimp meat. He pinched half of it and hung it on the hook. He walked a few steps forward and stood at the waterline, holding the raft pole in one hand and the lead pendant in the other. The hand holding the raft pole was in front and the hand holding the lead pendant was behind, and he swung forward gently. , it was thrown almost three meters, and the lead pendant hit the water surface with a thud, a small splash appeared, and it sank to the bottom of the sea with the hook.
Zhao Dahai let go of the raft fishing wheel and waited for thirty seconds until the lead pendant touched the bottom and stopped, then tightened the line. Shi Jiugong lives at the bottom of the reef and must fish to the bottom.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while with the raft rod in his hand, but there was no movement. He raised the rod by about ten centimeters and then lowered it. When there was no fish, he had to tease him. The surprise came immediately, and the tip of the fishing rod suddenly twitched. As soon as it turned down, it almost reached 60 degrees. Zhao Dahai was startled. Shi Jiugong is generally small and weak, so it is impossible for the pole to be bent like this.
Zhao Dahai quickly raised the pole. This is a reef area. No matter what kind of fish is hooked, if you move too quickly and pull up immediately, once the diamond head is cracked, there will be no way for the gods to do anything.
Huh?
What kind of fish is this?
Zhao Dahai rolled the pulley to take up the line. The force he pulled on the pole just now was very strong. It should be a big fish, but now it is not struggling at all, which is really strange.
Red? !
What kind of fish did it come from?
Shi Jiugong? !
But why is Shi Jiugong so big?
Zhao Dahai stared at the water with his eyes wide open. The water was so clear that when the water was about one meter deep, he could already see the dark red shadows of fish.
Black sea bream and yellow eagle are all white or yellowish shades, while Shi Jiugong is dark red, but this fish is almost as big as the palm of your hand.
This is not the size Shi Jiugong should be.
Zhao Dahai tightened his left hand twice, the raft fishing wheel spun very fast, and the fish hanging on the hook was immediately pulled out of the water.
Shi Jiugong!
It’s really the Nineteenth Duke!
A palm-sized Shi Jiugong floated on the water.
"Ha!"
"Who could have imagined that there is such a big Shi Jiugong here?!"
Zhao Dahai was very excited, very excited, a little confused, picked up the fish, and caught it In my hand, I weighed it and it must be at least half a catty. Many fish are not that big in size, but to Shi Jiugong, half a catty is really huge!
Why is there such a big Shi Jiugong here?
Zhao Dahai was puzzled. It's not that Shi Jiugong is big, it can grow to three ounces or even half a catty, but Shi Jiugong of this size is usually found in water depths of tens of meters or more and there are reefs. The depth of the water in the reef area in front of the village would not exceed five meters. It stands to reason that there would be no Shi Jiugong of this size.
Zhao Dahai didn't hesitate. Why is there such a big Shi Jiugong? He picked it off the hook and threw it into the mesh bag. He immediately changed it to shrimp meat and continued to throw it in the same place. Shi Jiugong is in a group. If you can catch one Shi Jiugong in one place, you may be able to catch several Shi Jiugong. The Shi Jiugong we just caught is so big, and there might be another Shi Jiugong of similar size underneath, so we have to hurry up.
Zhao Dahai soon discovered that his guess was correct. Five Shijiugongs were caught in the same place one after another. They were all quite large, and the smallest one was two ounces long.
Who said Shi Jiugong was worthless?
The key depends on the size.
Zhao Dahai pulled the mesh bag soaked in the seawater. The six fish together weighed more than a catty and a half. For Shi Jiugong of this size, it costs fifty or sixty yuan per catty, which is short. In less than twenty minutes, I got a hundred dollars.
The sun rises higher and higher.
The sun is shining brightly on the sea.
It’s getting hotter on the reef.
The clothes on Zhao Dahai's body were already wet, dry, and wet again. He raised the raft pole in his hand and quickly turned the fishing reel. In a few seconds, a stone jiugong pulled When I came out of the water, I was not big, only about half a liang. I was not disappointed at all. I was lucky to be able to catch a few Shijiu fish weighing more than two pounds or even half a catty on the rocks on the seaside. The Shijiu Gong who was half a liang and one fish was the best. Normally, fish can make money even if they are small in number.
