Chapter 252: The big-headed fish is just a way to eat
"I'll see, oh...... You really don't have a beard, you got a big-headed fish!" Qi Jingtao excitedly went up and picked up a big fish, which was heavy in his hand, weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the other one looked similar.
What surprised Qi Jingtao even more was that these two carps did not have beards. In Xingyun Lake, the carp without whiskers is the big-headed carp, referred to as the big-headed fish. They had a lot of luck today, and they really had a good fortune. They have come to Xingyun Lake so many times and have not had a chance to taste the taste of big-headed fish, but Zhang Wenhu actually got big-headed fish, and it is still so big.
Finally saw the vivid big-headed fish, Qi Jingtao had long forgotten the words and sense of responsibility for protecting the big-headed fish behind Yinshan. His eyes lit up, and he stared at the big-headed fish in his hand in amazement: "I haven't seen such a big big-headed fish for several years, where did you get it?"
Hehe, when you came back, I was idle and had nothing to do, and I hooked a few more times. I really didn't expect that I was so lucky to catch two bighead fish in succession. Zhang Wenhu said in a low voice, for fear of being heard by others and snatching away his big-headed fish.
"The fishing rods have been taken back by your father, can you still take the bait?" Qi Jingtao looked at Zhang Wenhu suspiciously, even if people had already put the big-headed fish he caught in front of him, he still didn't believe that people could get rare big-headed fish by fishing this method.
"Who told you you you have to use a rod to fish? I usually have a line and a hook on me. Bottom fishing, you can still fish, it's still a big fish. The fish nest we set up today is full of fish, and we still have such a good bait in our hands, it would be a pity not to continue fishing. Hehe, I actually caught a good product, it's better to hurry up early, and the big-headed fish was also attracted and was caught by me. Zhang Wenhu said happily, and took out a plate of collected fishing line from his pocket to show him.
Lao Zhang came over and took the big-headed fish, and explained with a smile: "Hehe, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea." Except for those professional anglers, few people in the fishing village are willing to spend money to apply for fishing certificates at the fishery administration. Spending 1,200 yuan a year is not a small number, and it is also a special person, and it cannot be lent to others to use. The people in the village usually eat lake fish, and they rely on this to catch it, and almost everyone has a fishing line on them. ”
"Masters, masters, you are the masters of fishing. I said how often people sit by the lake and watch the scenery, it turns out that they are waiting for the fish to take the bait!" What is the unguardable and what is the wisdom of the people?
"People in fishing villages, after finishing their work, go to the lake to smoke a cigarette, wash their feet, and catch fish by the way. When the fishery administration people came to inspect, they stepped on the fishing line into the mud in the water, and they couldn't find the fishing tools when they wanted to collect them, and the fishery administration's people managed other people's net fish, electric fish, and unlicensed fishing, so you can't help but let people come to the lake to sit and see the scenery, right?" Zhang Wenhu said with a smile the secret of their fishing.
"People are mainly people who inspect net fishing and electric fishing, and if you engage in bottom fishing, everyone is blind and not so serious. The fishery administrators also grew up near the lake, so they don't know that these cats are too lazy to care about you. Lao Zhang scolded his son and put the big-headed fish in a big pot and raised it. These two big-headed fish are still alive, and they will be delicious enough to eat and kill later.
"What about your fish, haven't you brought it back yet?" As soon as the novelty passed, Qi Jingtao began to care about the whereabouts of the big fish in the three nets.
"Wen Hai and my second and third uncles are selling them at the village head fish market, so they don't need to be brought home. Zhang Wenhu responded lightly.
"You don't have to go to the city to sell it?"
"No, there's a small fish market at the head of the village. At this time, there are many people from other villages who come to buy fish, and they are all people who come to try their luck and buy wild lake fish. I didn't dare to show my face at the fish market for these two big-headed fish, and I couldn't get them back. Hehe, I'll take a detour to send it home, and we'll eat it ourselves. Zhang Wenhu said with a smile and went out to help sell fish.
"Uncle Zhang, how much can a big-headed fish like this be sold for?"
"Hehe, seven or eight kilograms of bighead fish are worth at least six or seven hundred yuan a kilogram. This kid is so lucky, he can catch such a big big-headed fish, I haven't seen it in years. Lao Zhang happily squatted next to the big basin and admired the big-headed fish. Obviously, he hadn't caught such a big fish for many years, and even he thought it was strange. I don't think that such an expensive fish is not sent to the fish market to sell for money, and there is nothing wrong with taking it home to entertain guests, and there is no reluctance.
Qi Jingtao didn't bother with the question of how much the big-headed fish was worth and whether it was appropriate for him to enjoy it, but asked with great interest: "How big can the big-headed fish grow?"
"The largest bighead fish was caught in 73 years with a big net, weighing 195 kilograms and more than two meters long, which can be called the king of fish in Xingyun Lake. Our family used to catch a bighead fish weighing more than 80 kilograms, and the whole family couldn't eat all the fish heads. In those days, it was all too common for this kind of big-headed fish weighing seven or eight kilograms. Where is it like now, it has become a rarity. Lao Zhang's face was full of remembrance.
Aunt Zhang, Su Min, and Xu Manli, who were busy in the kitchen, listened to them talking about big-headed fish in the yard, stewed crucian carp in the pot, and also rushed out to see the excitement.
"This is a big-headed fish! it doesn't look like it's that big!" ran over excitedly and looked around the basin for a while, Xu Manli was slightly disappointed. She had never seen a big-headed fish before, but now that she has seen the real thing, she didn't expect that the famous big-headed fish didn't look much different from the carp, and there was a feeling that it was not as good as being famous.
"It's already bigger than the head of an ordinary carp, and you see, it really doesn't have any whiskers on its mouth. Su Min observed more carefully, and had already found that the big-headed fish had no beard on the lips, the same as what Qi Jingtao had told them.
"I haven't caught such a big bighead fish for many years, I'll go find out the big copper pot and make you a copper pot bighead fish to eat today." Well, leave one for you to take home and give your grandma a taste. Aunt Zhang looked at the bighead fish swimming in the big basin with satisfaction, and immediately decided the fate of the two bighead fish.
"Yes, I'll go and bring pine firewood, the copper pot boiled fish needs to be boiled with pine wood to make the most flavorful. Lao Zhang was embarrassed to join in the fun here, so he got up and went to the firewood room to pack pine firewood to cook fish.
At this time, no one thinks that big-headed fish are already a rare species, they should be protected, they should be released, and everyone only remembers their deliciousness. In front of human beings, fish are just fish after all, just a kind of food to eat!
