Due to the lack of rain this year, the area of the reservoir has been reduced by almost half, so it took only two days to catch fish, and the net has been all put away, this day is the day to prepare for the net, there is a rule in the seven surnames Long, before fishing and going to the net, you must worship the dragon king, which means that the dragon king blesses safety, and the other meaning is to let the dragon king bless them with a bumper harvest!

The village chief and several patriarchs took a sheep's head, a pig's head and a cow's head as sacrifices, and took all the people who got off the boat to fish and knelt down and kowtowed to the reservoir, and disembarked in the firecrackers and began to release the nets.

The first thing they have to do is to set up a net pocket, this net pocket is very large, and later need to put the live fish in the net pocket to continue to raise, and when necessary, directly from the net pocket, four baby arms are thousands of meters long nylon rope to pull the four corners of the net bag, when the four ropes are all tightened, the net bag is set up.

"Okay, the net pocket is also set up, let's start to get under the net, everyone must pay attention to the net must be straightened out, don't tie the knot, and be careful with your feet, don't get entangled, otherwise even the gods won't be able to save you!" The leader is Li Yuqing, who is five big and three thick, and is very experienced in fishing. There is still a certain danger in fishing, the float of the fishing net is particularly large, there must be enough buoyancy to prevent the fishing net from sinking to the bottom, and the bottom is a piece of lead, these lead blocks are heavier, because it takes a certain weight to pull the fishing net to sink to the bottom quickly, if the human foot is entangled, it is easy to drown!

There are not many fishing nets in the seven surnamed Long, and they can only put down five barrage nets at a time, and there are fifty-three barrage grids in total, so it takes two or three days to finish the fish; after the fishing nets are down, they all play cards, fights, land, and lords on their respective boats, or play the more popular ones in the local area. And those fishmongers don't know how to get the news, so they wait on the shore early, because the water of the Seven Surnames Long Reservoir is living water, and the source of the water is a stream from the top of the mountain in addition to the mountain spring, and this stream is also mountain spring water, and the heavy rain will wash the leaves on the mountain into the water, and it will become food for the fish, so the fish in the Seven Surnames Long Reservoir tastes very delicious, and of course the price is much higher than that of ordinary fish.

Li Yuqing said with a smile, this is obviously to take care of Zhao Kun, the so-called head fish is the first fish caught after the net is called the head fish, this fish is not for sale, but is reserved for them to eat, no matter the size of the fish, it is the head fish, sometimes the head fish is a small fish with chopsticks, sometimes it is a big fish of seven or eight catties and ten catties, and the size of the head fish depends on luck.

"Get up, wow, Brother Li, this year's head fish is so big, I think there are at least more than 20 catties!" As soon as I collected a fishing net of less than one meter, I saw that there was a fish on the net, and it was very large, and when I pulled it up, I found that it was actually a catfish, and it was at least 15 catties or more.

"Brother Li, this year's luck, the head fish turned out to be a catfish weighing more than ten catties, this fish tastes good, and there are few spines"! Catfish is more slippery than other fish, and it is generally difficult to catch the net, plus such a big one, experienced fishermen know that the catfish is entangled in fishing nets, not nets!

"Well, it seems that this year is a bumper harvest year, everyone work hard, that Xiao Kun, the head fish will be handed over to you, you must be optimistic, don't get confused, don't let it run away"! Li Yuqing said with a smile, because the head fish is very taboo, you must not be confused, if the head fish runs, it is likely to give up the entire fishing plan, of course, this is a superstitious saying in the countryside, in order to seek a peace of mind!

"Don't worry, Brother Li, I'm also in my twenties, and I'm definitely optimistic about the head fish!" Zhao Kun hurriedly assured everyone.

This year's fish is indeed a lot, and it is also very big, because it has not been played for six or seven years, and a net is almost more than 2,000 catties, and there are a total of three fishing nets in a barricade grid, and when the fishing nets are all pulled up, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 40,000 catties of fish!

"Okay, according to the rules of previous years, the first boatload of fish will be sent to those fishmongers, and all the rest will be put into net pockets and raised!" Li Yuqing stood on the largest sailing boat and commanded everyone.

When the first boatload of fish was delivered to the dam, it was weighed and weighed to exactly 10,000 catties! Those fishmongers were so happy that after dividing up, they each began to load and pull back after paying the money; this year's fish were all very large, the smallest one was more than three catties, and the largest one was exactly 28 catties!

"Hurry up, put down the fishing nets again, and then we will go to dinner, and in an hour everyone will gather on the boat!" Li Yuqing once again instructed everyone to put down the fishing nets in turn.

"Brother Xiaokun, it's the first time I've seen fishing, it's so fun!" Yang Li was as happy as a lark.

"Don't go to the water's edge these days, the fish will fly out of the water if they are in a hurry, and if you are accidentally scared, you will fall into the water, and now the water is full of fishing nets, and it is easy to get entangled in your feet and have an accident!" Zhao Kun hurriedly said when he saw Yang Li's eager look.

"I know, I'm definitely not going!" Yang Li assuranced with her big eyes.

"That's right, don't go, you can see a lot while standing at home!" said Mama Sun worriedly.
