Chapter 40 Fishing in the water is more fun
Yang Yong's family couldn't help but be disappointed when they came to the drainage ditch in front of Liu Wen's courtyard, the water here was so small that it could no longer arouse the interest of the fish.
"Ahh
As long as you don't give up, the surprise may be in the next moment! Xiao Haohao held a small net pocket and fished it casually, and several of them were in hand, and the rest of the loaches panicked, but the soil at the bottom of the puddle was hard, and the loaches had nowhere to escape, and they were soon all fished up by Xiao Haohao.
After breakfast, the rain finally stopped, but the sky was still full of dark clouds, and Yang Yong's family, who had not yet caught it, came over to ask Liu Wen to go to Dashuigou to catch fish.
Seeing this, Professor Lin also became interested and pulled his wife to participate together, and when Liu Wen saw this, he led Qing'er to take the maid and the blessing to attract wealth, picked up the fishing tools, and followed everyone to the village in front of the big ditch that runs through the whole village.
"Oh yes, I almost caught it, what a shame. The fish went over there, mainly because it was too slippery and not easy to catch at all. ”
"Haha! Come to me, where do I see you running this time?"
"Oops! I ran away again, and I didn't catch it. ”
"Don't panic! ”
"See who of us can catch this big fish?"
At this time, there was a lot of excitement in the ditch, seven or eight male tourists were originally fishing with tools, and then found a big catfish, several people were excited to pick up the fishing gear and jump directly into the water, and the pile was blocked, trying to catch the big catfish.
Liu Wen estimated that the big catfish would not be able to run in the end, after all, the width of the ditch is limited, only more than two meters, and the water depth is only more than one meter. Seven or eight people holding fishing gear in the ditch while catching fish, if it is a small fish, it is easy to escape, but the big fish escapes when the movement is too big, it is very easy to be found, and finally the big catfish that is a little tired of being chased is accidentally fished up by a tourist with a kite.
"Haha! I caught it. This catfish is so big!" The excited tourist immediately lifted the kite and climbed ashore, and the big catfish in the kite, which was estimated to be eight or nine, was still struggling to escape, but where could it run?
Other visitors were envious but not disappointed, and this method of fishing was effective, especially for catching big fish. If you can catch the first one, you can catch the second, especially if you can play in the water and catch fish by the way, which is much more fun than just fishing on the shore.
Soon many tourists on the shore followed suit, jumping into the water with fishing gear in hand, and everyone worked together to catch big fish, playing and fishing without delay.
"Let's go into the water and catch it!" Yang Yong was very interested when he saw it, and he immediately jumped to try.
"Let's do it, Brother Yong! Today we will touch the fish with our bare hands, and by the way, drive the fish into the basket. Liu Wen looked at the fishing tools in everyone's hands, there was a big basket in the zither, Professor Lin had a big net in his hand, and the others were holding small net bags.
This ditch in the village is almost completely occupied by many tourists at the moment. Entering the water at this time will not catch many fish, and secondly, it will also deprive others of the fun of catching fish.
Liu Wen led everyone to the ditch where the water from the Ganlu Spring Well flowed to the reservoir, and along the way, Liu Wen had to take the initiative to say hello to any familiar tourists.
"Brother Wenzi, it seems that you still know a lot of beautiful female tourists!" Qing'er's tone was a little sour. "I don't know each other, I've just met a few times, people come to Liu's house to play, and we, as landlords, are too indifferent. Liu Wen immediately explained.
Next, Liu Wen only greeted male tourists or female tourists with male companions, Xue Fang saw that after that, he pulled Qing'er and bit his ears for a while, and then the two women "giggled" together.
When they came to the destination, everyone saw that there were indeed many fewer fishers here, and the abundant aquatic plants on both sides of this ditch were also convenient for fishing.
Finding a suitable position, Liu Wen put the big basket away, and then walked hundreds of meters against the current.
"Brother Yong, you see that the current of this ditch is relatively fast, and the fish will get tired when they swim against the current, and they will rest in the water and grass when they are tired. In places where the current is strong, the fish will hang their side fins on the aquatic plants when they rest. This is convenient and very labor-saving. ”
Xue Fang interjected curiously and asked, "Is this fish still so smart?" Liu Wen explained: "It's not a question of whether you're smart or not, it's just the natural survival instinct of the fish." ”
"Oh!" Xue Fang nodded. Liu Wen continued: "When we catch fish, we have to touch the water flow forward, most of this direction touches the head of the fish, and the fish will instinctively rush forward when it is frightened, just rush into the hand, at this time, as long as the reaction is timely, most of the fish can be caught." Small fish are caught with one hand, and big fish are held with both hands. This is our Liu Jiachong's saying, which is about the method of fishing in the water. ”
Liu Wen and Yang Yong were groping along the grass of the ditch, and after a while, Yang Yong's body paused, and when he saw Liu Wen's gaze looking over, he said that he had touched a small fish just now, but he didn't catch it.
Liu Wen nodded, didn't say anything, and the two of them continued to move forward, this time it was Liu Wen's turn to touch the fish. Liu Wen's hand had just touched the head of a crucian carp in the aquatic grass, and the crucian carp swooped forward, just rushing into Liu Wen's hand.
Liu Wen immediately grabbed the head of the crucian carp and threw it the shore, and a crucian carp weighing seven or eight taels was jumping vigorously in the grass on the shore. Yaya and Xiao Haohao cheered, and immediately ran over to load the crucian carp with a net and put it into the bucket.
Next, Liu Wen touched two fish one after another, a crucian carp and a carp, which almost weighed more than a catty. There has been no movement on Yang Yong's side, and suddenly Yang Yong laughed, and quickly climbed ashore with a big carp of four or five catties.
It turned out that Yang Yong had touched the carp just now, and the unlucky carp ran directly into Yang Yong's arms, and was just hugged tightly by Yang Yong.
"Brother Yong, are you okay?Did the carp hit you just now?" Liu Wen's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked. In the water, there is a pound of fish, ten pounds of force, and it is said that it is hit by a fish of four or five pounds at high speed, and it will be injured if it is not good.
"It's okay, I'm fine, the carp just happened to be hugged by me. Yang Yong replied with a smile.
Liu Wen suddenly remembered this carp, which was originally stationary, even if it suddenly came out, it was at most an arm's length distance, and even if it accelerated at such a close distance, this speed would not be much faster.
But as a novice, this luck is always very good when he does it for the first time, and then Yang Yong caught several fish one after another, including grass carp, carp and crucian carp. After catching a distance of 100 meters, Yang Yong, a novice, actually caught one more fish than Liu Wen. Yang Yong's harvest was seven, while Liu Wen only had six.
Liu Wen and Yang Yong finally worked together to lift the big basket in the water, which contained two catfish of three or four catties, a bunch of small fish and shrimp, more than a dozen loaches, and two yellow eels of four or five taels.
The fish caught at one time had already filled a bucket with him, so Professor Lin suggested that his wife and Yang Yong's mother go back with the fish in the bucket first, and then bring two more buckets over.
After Mrs. Lin and Yang Yong's mother left, and Liu Wen chose another place, Professor Lin and Yang Yong's father glanced at each other, laughed and walked down the ditch, Liu Wen couldn't stop it.
This time, Liu Wen and Yang Yong followed honestly in the process of catching fish, to see if they could pick up some leaks, but they didn't catch any of them.
Professor Lin, who was walking in front, caught three, two crucian carp of eight or nine taels and a grass carp of more than two catties. On the other side, Yang Yong's father caught two, a crucian carp weighing a pound and a carp weighing more than three pounds.
There is a big carp caught here in the big basket, and the rest are small fish and shrimp, and the total harvest is about the same as last time.
The water temperature in the ditch is still a little cold, which may not be felt by a young man like Liu Wen, but for an elderly person like Professor Lin and Yang Yong's father, it is difficult to eat for a long time, and if you don't get it, you will get sick from the cold.
Liu Wen simply didn't wait for the bucket to come, and directly put the fish into the kite, and urged everyone to rush home, and after they went back, the four of them had to hurry up and take a bath and drink ginger soup to ward off the cold.
On the way back, Professor Lin and Yang Yong's father were still discussing with great interest the process of catching the fish just now.
After returning home, Professor Lin and Yang Yong's father inevitably received a bunch of complaints from their respective wives, and the two old men smiled and hurriedly took a bath without refutation.
At noon, the whole fish feast was eaten, and the three families sat together as usual, two big carp were boiled and knotted, six crucian carp were braised red, two big catfish were boiled with tofu, and a bunch of small fish and shrimp were boiled in a big pot of miscellaneous fish soup.
The carp is boiled and everyone will never get tired of eating, the crucian carp is spicy, the catfish is fresh and delicious, especially the pot of miscellaneous fish soup has been sought after by everyone, the small fish and shrimp are cleaned and fried with oil until both sides are browned, the small fish bones are fried and crushed, and the one is put into the mouth and crispy and fragrant, it is indeed delicious.
In the farmhouse opened by Liu Wen's cousin Liu Quanwu and his wife, at lunchtime, eight tables were full of tourists eating. As the first farmhouse to open in the village, now the business of the cousin's family is very good, and many times tourists have to book in advance for dinner, otherwise there will be no place.
Now the spicy crayfish and fried snails are hot every night, and the cousin's family is very busy every day, although they are tired, they are happy.
At this time, the seven or eight tourists and their companions who caught the big catfish that Liu Wen and his entourage met in the morning were sitting at two full tables, and everyone was eating fish and drinking happily.
In the morning, in addition to catching the big catfish, they also caught a big grass carp of seven or eight catties and two big carp of more than six catties.
The tourists who were lucky enough to catch the big fish at the dinner table were talking about their successful experience of catching the fish, which attracted the remaining few tourists who did not catch the fish, and secretly decided in their hearts to go again tomorrow, this time to see who caught the big fish first?
