Since being able to ride the big wild boar as a horse, Qiang Qiang and Chubby have become the hearts and minds of many children, and they want to ride wild boars as long as they are free. After a little longer, the two wild boars also became wiser, and now whoever wants to ride must first feed the wild boar. Even if it's Xiao Xinxin, Xiao Haohao and Yaya can't do it, if they don't feed it, they can't force the wild boar to ride. According to the amount of food eaten by two wild boars, how can they be full without several catties of food at a time?

The sun was shining for several days, and the weather was getting hotter, and it was time to fish for eels. This morning, after Liu Wen made six yellow eel hooks, he invited Yang Yong and his wife to go yellow eel fishing.

Making a yellow eel hook is as simple as removing the slender wire holder of the rotten umbrella at home, sharpening one end, and then folding it into a small hook with a vise. The other end is folded into a ring, one is for aesthetics, and it is also convenient for the steel wire to become slippery after it becomes wet and slippery, and it is not easy to get rid of the yellow eel.

Xue Fang and Qing'er may not have much interest in fishing for yellow eels, but secondly, they said that the sun outside is so big, and the skin becomes ugly when it is too tanned, and it will take a long time to return to white. This is Xue Fang's original words, a sentence that the tanning becomes ugly is enough to dispel Qing'er's idea of wanting to accompany Liu Wen. This woman, once she gets married, she cares very much about her appearance, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, this sentence is really very incisive!

Xue Fang and Qing'er were reluctant to go, and Xiao Haohao and Yaya went to school again. Liu Wen, who was a little disappointed, led Yang Yong, who was very excited, and the two big men walked towards the ditch together with a bucket with a yellow eel hook.

The bait Liu Wen has dug in advance, it is a kind of red earthworm that is common in Liujiachong, not the blue-gray stinky earthworm, for fishing for yellow eel, red earthworms are enough.

"How should this yellow eel be caught?" Yang Yong asked with a look of eagerness as he looked at the hook in his hand.

"During the day, the eel likes to hide in the cracks of the rocks, or in the holes in the aquatic plants on the shore, we put the hook in it, shake it gently up and down, left and right, and generally have ten seconds to know if there are any yellow eels inside. The eel usually stays near the entrance of the cave during the day, and for the eel, the earthworm is a supreme delicacy, and if there is a yellow eel in the hole, ten seconds is enough time for it to come and bite the hook. Liu Wen took Yang Yong to the village, in front of this ditch that runs through the village.

On both sides of this big ditch, they are made of large stones, and the ancestors of Liu Jiachong in order to prevent the ditch from collapsing and affecting the village to discharge stagnant water are also considered to be well-intentioned, and the amount of work is not huge in terms of the conditions at that time.

Liu Wen couldn't help but light up when he saw a few clusters of aquatic plants growing next to the stones in the ditch, such an environment is really what the yellow eel particularly likes.

Liu Wen motioned to Yang Yong to pay attention to his movements, picked up an earthworm and threaded it from his head with an iron hook, and finally there was still a little earthworm tail on the tip of the hook.

Liu Wen explains: "Some old yellow eels may have been caught before and have become particularly cunning, and once they bite or find an iron hook, they will resist the temptation to eat earthworms again. ”

Liu Wen put on the iron hook of the earthworm and stretched it into the crack of the stone next to the aquatic weed, shaking it gently. "It's in stock!" Almost as soon as the iron hook entered the water, a greedy yellow eel had already bitten the earthworm and tried to pull the earthworm into the crack of the stone several times.

Liu Wen saw that the time was ripe, so he turned the hook ninety degrees, felt that he had hooked the mouth of the yellow eel, and immediately lifted the iron hook and threw it on the shore, and a yellow eel with more than three taels was taken out of the water, and after enjoying a flight, it fell into the grass on the ditch.

The head and tail of the yellow eel jumped vigorously, and its body was like a snake swimming desperately in the grass, trying to escape back into the water. However, this time the yellow eel's wish may not be successfully realized, Liu Wen quickly stepped forward and stepped on the yellow eel first, grabbed it and threw it into the bucket.

After being thrown into the bucket, the yellow eel still did not give up, and mustered up the remaining energy to jump in the bucket for life, and after a few times, seeing that there was no hope of escape, he resigned himself to quieting down.

"Yellow eels have no teeth, and their prey is swallowed, and when they bite the hook, they will bite flat, as if biting the head of a small fish, and they will bite the gill covers on both sides of the fish for easy swallowing, but will not bite the upper and lower jaws of the small fish. Therefore, I feel that the yellow eel continues to pull the hook, and it is necessary to rotate 90 degrees before lifting the hook to hook the yellow eel, otherwise there is a chance that it will be unhooked. Come on, Brother Yong, try it!" Liu Wen explained and motioned for Yang Yong to go fishing in person.

"There are also two situations when the yellow eel eats the hook, the first kind of yellow eel has eaten earthworms before, and the hook is directly bitten and does not let go, this kind of yellow eel is very easy to catch. There is also a kind of yellow eel for the first time to see the earthworm, the first bite is mostly to try to eat, this time to observe whether the hook tip is exposed, if there is to move the earthworm to cover the hook tip in order to hook again, otherwise, the yellow eel bites the hook tip and eats pain, it is very likely that it will no longer bite the hook, even if you are willing to eat the earthworm is also a small bite bite, it is difficult to catch the yellow eel. Seeing that Yang Yong hung up the earthworm and was ready to take the bait, Liu Wen continued to explain in detail.

Yang Yong nodded, took a fancy to a stone crack and put the hook in and gently swung it, and after about ten seconds, Yang Yong lifted the hook. There is no yellow eel in this stone crevice, the second stone crevice is still not, and when it comes to the third stone crevice, Yang Yong feels movement as soon as he puts down the hook, and there is a yellow eel biting the hook.

Yang Yong was overjoyed and immediately lifted the hook, but Yang Yong forgot to turn the angle, and the head of the yellow eel had already dehooked as soon as it appeared above the water.

Yang Yong, who had been instructed, continued to put the hook in, and the greedy yellow eel began to bite the hook again. Yang Yong successfully lifted the yellow eel out of the water, but the strength and angle were a little wrong, and the yellow eel fell directly into the water in the ditch, stirring up a small splash, the yellow eel swung its tail and disappeared.

Yang Yong did not lose heart, but looked for the next stone crevice with high morale, and after fishing for a while, another yellow eel began to bite the hook. This time, Yang Yong learned a lesson and successfully threw a yellow eel more than two taels into the grass on the bank of the ditch. Yang Yong, who was excited and excited, hurriedly rushed over to catch the yellow eel that was desperately escaping in the grass.

It's just that the yellow eel is very slippery and difficult to catch, and after grabbing it a few times, it slipped away from Yang Yong's hand. "Stomp on it!" Liu Wen reminded from the side. Yang Yong, who suddenly realized, immediately stepped on the yellow eel on the ground with his foot and successfully grabbed the yellow eel into the bucket.

"This is just the most common fishing method, and there are two more fishing methods that I want to introduce to you one by one. Liu Wen saw the steps by the ditch, so he walked down. At this time, it is specially designed to facilitate the villagers to come back from working in the field and wash the soil on their hands and feet.

"The terrain here is too low to throw the eels ashore smoothly, so fishing for eels here is another way. Liu Wen tried a few stone cracks on the edged steps, and a yellow eel began to bite the hook.

Liu Wen and the other yellow eel rotated the hook after pulling the hook continuously, slowly pulled the yellow eel out of the water, and then held the hook tightly with his right hand to hook the yellow eel, and grabbed the lower position of the yellow eel's neck with his left hand, so he threw the yellow eel into the bucket steadily.

"In this kind of low-lying place, this is the only way to successfully bring the yellow eel up, and the yellow eel will instinctively drill into the hole after being hooked. At this time, if you have a good grasp of the strength and slowly pull the yellow eel, it will not get off the hook, but this method needs to be practiced more to be proficient. Liu Wen found that Yang Yong was looking at it in surprise, so he explained with a little pride.

"There is also a kind of fishing for yellow eels in the holes at the edge of aquatic plants, because most of the holes of the yellow eels are relatively curved, to fish the yellow eels in the holes, it is generally necessary to lead the head of the yellow eels out of the hole before it is good to hook and fish. Otherwise, the yellow eel will be hooked and the body will jump tightly under the pain, and it will be difficult to pull the yellow eel out smoothly. Especially those large yellow eels that are more than half a catty, many times they can't be pulled at all, and in the end the hooks are straightened. We use the thin steel wire of a small umbrella, and if we use the thick steel wire of a large umbrella, we can also catch the yellow eel, but we have to make a lot of effort. That kind of big steel wire is heavy to carry, and it is also very inconvenient to wear earthworms, I don't like to use it, if you have time, you can make one yourself. Liu Wen also explained the last fishing method in detail.

Yang Yong successfully caught five or six yellow eels by the ditch one after another, and the largest one is estimated to be almost half a catty. Yang Yong, who was full of confidence, wanted to try a new fishing method after seeing a step, and the first hooked yellow eel was pulled out of the water directly due to too much force and ran away. The second one was a little less powerful, and the yellow eel finally got off the hook, and after the hook was released, the yellow eel was estimated to have been hooked and its mouth was no longer biting.

Yang Yong successfully caught the third yellow eel after he took the bait, but after grabbing the lower part of the eel's neck with his left hand, he was too nervous and forceful, and the hook in his right hand cut a big hole in the eel's mouth. The yellow eel that was put into the bucket kept bleeding from its mouth, and soon all the water in the bucket was stained red. Yang Yong sneered and threw the yellow eel into the ditch, probably feeling a little indebted, and wanted to let the yellow eel have a way to live, and the opportunity was given to it, and it was up to the yellow eel to live or die.

Liu Wen took Yang Yong and seven or eight other interested tourists to fish for yellow eels in the hole, and came to the ditch where the water from the Ganlu Spring Well flowed to the rice field area. On the way, Liu Wen talked in detail about the three fishing methods of yellow eel.

The ditch was lined with dense aquatic plants, and Liu Wen found a hole and gently shook the hook near the entrance to attract the yellow eel to bite the hook. After a while, the yellow eel in the hole couldn't stand the temptation of the earthworm, and the head stuck out of the hole and bit the hook, Liu Wen took advantage of the situation to turn the hook and then lifted it violently, and a yellow eel with more than two taels was thrown into the grass on the bank of the ditch, and after catching the yellow eel into the bucket, Liu Wen signaled Yang Yong to try. Seeing that a tourist was also very interested, Liu Wen handed over the hook in his hand, and the tourist thanked him happily and began to look for the yellow eel cave excitedly.
