Chapter 257: Shooting Fish
It's late autumn, and the temperature on Luwei Island has dropped significantly, and the temperature difference between day and night is also outrageous.
Canada's winters are long and cold, which can be regarded as a geographical factor of vast and sparsely populated areas.
Until the weather really cools down, the island's inhabitants have a lot to do, like squirrels sprinting to stock up on food for the winter.
Fishing was also scheduled for this last moment, and it was not a good idea to sail to fight the Asian carp after two days, when the weather had cooled down completely.
It can only be said that Lu Xiaochuan and his gang were in a hurry, and after resting in Zhang Zhandong's townhouse for one night and soothing their physical fatigue, they were able to participate in the last fishing event of the year the next day.
The event is scheduled for 10 a.m., and before you go, you can also choose your favorite bow and arrow in advance, and by the way, you can familiarize yourself with these weapons.
The whole country of Canada is rich in fresh water resources, and if you look at it from the more pragmatic eyes of Lu Xiaochuan and Kuige, even in ancient times, the Chinese could reclaim countless lands here and feed countless people.
On one side of Luwei Town, there is a large freshwater lake, which is not small, but unfortunately it has also been invaded by Asian carp, and it is difficult for locals to get fish from it anymore.
For the locals, the Asian carp is a useless pest regardless of its species.
There are many thorns, and the meat smells fishy, and they can't eat it.
But for a group of Chinese, this is special, it is simply a rich food given by God, you don't know how to be grateful, even complain, you really can't understand.
What price can bighead carp with a body length of more than one meter, that is, fathead fish, be sold in the domestic market?
I'm afraid that as soon as I appear, I will be snatched away, right?
But here, it's just the scourge that ravages the local waters, and I have to say that the heavens are sometimes very good at joking.
Otherwise, when it comes to food, Chinese people will smile reservedly, and then secretly complain that all foreigners are good mallets!
Some people say that they are lazy, and some people say that they are stupid, but it can only be said that the environment creates culture, and culture creates living habits.
After choosing their weapons and trying their heads on the beach, a group of people set off under the leadership of Zhang Zhandong.
Because of Zhang Zhandong, everyone on the entire island is no stranger to Asian faces, and many people can even speak a few words of Chinese.
On the way, Lu Xiaochuan and his party met many locals who greeted them in Chinese, and when they opened their mouths, they said "Have you eaten" in a strange tone, which caused everyone to smile.
To take part in this fishing event, the Poseidon fishery went to two small wooden boats and a motorboat with Pikara.
By the time we arrived at Emerald Lake, the inhabitants of the island had already gathered a hundred and ten people, and boats and motorboats of various styles had been pulled over.
Living here, even if you are like Zhang Zhandong, a tyrant who is not short of money, you can't do without pickups, but the difference is in the value.
There were several good cars parked in the manor, but you still had to count on pickups to pull boats or other things.
Zhang Zhandong is very popular in the local area, and it is said that his arrival improved the environment of the fishing grounds around Luwei Island.
In order to improve the environment of the fishing grounds, Zhang Zhandong invested a large amount of money at the beginning, and it took two years to see results.
The peculiarity of the fishing grounds makes it extremely difficult to see a return on investment, and the locals are anxious about the deterioration of the coastal environment before that.
Without money to invest, the environment cannot be remediated, the environment deteriorates further, the benefits of the fishing grounds are seriously damaged, the fish production is reduced, and no money can be made...... It's an endless loop.
The arrival of Zhang Zhandong changed all that.
Therefore, cousin Zhang Zhandong is quite respected in Luwei Town.
In a sense, it was Zhang Zhandong who saved Luwei Island and all the residents, and everyone received his favor and wanted to accept his affection.
At ten o'clock, the mayor of Luwei Town took the microphone and made a few mobilization words, and the residents screamed, claiming that they would fight the Asian carp to the end!
At this time, dozens of boats have gathered on the edge of the Emerald Lake, three or four hundred people, and the number of people who have personally launched the water is estimated to be more than two hundred.
This is already a relatively important event on Luwei Island, where there will be more than 2,000 residents.
As the mayor reached out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky, the last fish shooting event of the year began.
Directly turn on the microwave oscillator in the water, and the originally calm lake surface boils instantly!
"I rub, so many fish?!"
Rao was prepared, but Lu Xiaochuan was still frightened by the scene in front of him, "These fish are almost fine!"
Large fish jumping up on the surface of the lake abound, half a meter long, and one meter long is not uncommon, and all of them are wild.
Brother Kui has set up a mahjong stall on the bank of the Liuwan River all the year round, and he is used to seeing those fishermen sitting on the river bank fishing.
The Liuwan River has been governed by Binhai City for many years, and it can be regarded as rippling blue waves, and the water is clear and clean.
But after all, there are dams built upstream, and most of the fish in the river are grown from artificially sown fry, and those who fish can catch a palm-sized crucian carp, which is enough to boast for a week.
The people who fish in the Liuwan River, to put it bluntly, are Tu Yile, and they are enjoyable, no one cares about the harvest, and even the fish caught will not be eaten, and they are all fed to the cats and dogs.
Brother Kui, who is accustomed to seeing the grade of fishing in Liuwan River, only felt his head fluttering for a while in the face of the big fish that jumped up from under the lake like a fryer.
This is special, if you want to catch fish, you have a net!
Quigo can't figure out the brain circuits of the locals, just as the locals can't understand why the Chinese can make Asian carp delicious.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and they climbed into their boats and rushed towards the middle of the lake.
The area of Emerald Lake is not small, and the microwave oscillator brought by the mayor can only affect a quarter of the lake......
Brother Kui felt that with this group of locals alone, and their means, they wanted to curb the population of Asian carp.
Under Zhang Zhandong's beckoning, a group of people also got on the boat.
Under the call of the little stunner, she and Luo Xingwan, Xiao Ruo, and Sister Tan took a wooden boat, with Xiao Stunner and Xiao Ruo at the helm and controlling the steering wheel on the motor, Luo Xingwan was responsible for sorting out the loot, and Sister Tan was responsible for hunting with a bow.
Sister Tan is holding a pulley bow, which is expensive and is in Zhang Zhandong's collection.
This cousin not only loves to play, but also plays, and there are no less than ten bows and arrows of all kinds stored in the warehouse alone!
The tail of the arrow is attached to the string, and if it hits a fish that crosses the surface of the lake, it can be dragged back to the boat.
Sister Tan stretched out her bow and arrows, aimed slightly, and with a chirp, she directly pierced a one-meter-long grass carp head!
"That's a lot of strength!"
On another wooden boat, Zhang Zhandong's mouth opened wide in surprise!
