Chapter 3 Fishing Down

Zhou An heard it, but he didn't look back, he didn't stop, he was reborn, Zhou Yuting, a former peer, was just a little girl in his eyes, how many adults are interested in arguing with the little girl?

Loss of identity!

Zhou An, who had a different identity, was shirtless and barefoot, and walked away without looking back, Zhou Yuting returned to the door and continued to feed the pet dog ham sausage, while muttering: "A man came to buy needles, it is really promising......!

Zhou An didn't hear this sentence.

……

After buying a needle, Zhou An first went to his room to get a flashlight, and then went to the utility room at home to look for a while, and finally found the nylon thread used for rice planting at home.

The long nylon thread is wound around the palm wide bamboo thousand, when planting seedlings, pull in the field to control the row spacing, Zhou An has four such bamboo pipes in his house, very old, since he can remember, the family uses these few every year.

Zhou An didn't take more, took one, and quietly returned to his room.

If it was before, he didn't dare to touch these bamboos at home, his father would get angry when he saw it, this is a necessary tool for planting rice, and the guy who eats, if he breaks one, he may miss the farming time for a few days.

However, now, Zhou An quietly took the bamboo stick back to his room, and under the desk lamp, he took out a knife from the drawer and cut the nylon thread on the bamboo piece into sections after sections.

Not long after, the nylon thread wound on the bamboo, at least fifty or sixty meters long, was cut into sections of about one meter by him, but it was neatly placed on the desk in front of him.

Then, by the light of the lamp, he turned on the sewing needles he had just bought and tied nylon threads to each one with a special technique.

The effect is this: holding one end of the nylon thread, the eye of the sewing needle tied to the other end is the lowest end of the thread, and the tip of the needle is facing upwards and sticking to the thread.

He's doing a yellow eel fisherman.

My father is in great need of nutrition now, but there are only vegetarian vegetables at home every day, and the most meat is only eggs, so Zhou An decided to do some fishing and go out to fish for some yellow eels at night to increase nutrition for his father.

He knew that if his mother saw it, he would definitely feel sorry for the nylon thread, so when he did this, it was quiet.

Dozens of threads, dozens of needles, Zhou An was busy for more than an hour before he was finally busy.

At one end of all the nylon threads, a sewing needle is tied, and after all the stitches are tied, there are still a few nylon threads left on the table.

Zhou An counted, two packs of sewing needles, and exactly 50 fishing pieces. However, 50 fishings is almost enough, and if there are more, he will not be able to keep it busy.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhou An turned on the flashlight, went to the utility room to find the axe at home, and then went to the grove behind the house to cut seven or eight branches more than one meter long, each branch, the thickest position is no more than the thickness of a thumb.

In the woods, he cut all the branches into small pieces ten centimeters long, sharpened one of them, and carved a circle of dents at the other end.

He was busy with these tasks for more than an hour before he finally did them well.

Returning to the room with these sharpened sticks, Zhou An patiently tied the nylon threads with sewing needles and the dents on these sharpened sticks one by one.

After tying one, he wrapped the fishing line around the stick, and finally, inserted the sewing needle at the end of the line into the loop, making it easy to carry.

When he had finished all the fishing, he looked at the small alarm clock on his desk, and it was close to 10 o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the pile of the fruits of his labor on the desk, Zhou An was quite emotional.

This kind of fishing, he hadn't done it in years, but tonight he revisited it.

Now the fishing is ready, but there is one thing missing - bait.

With only a fishing rod and no bait, the yellow eel will not be stupid enough to bite the needle.

However, the bait for fishing for yellow eels is very good, especially in the countryside, in front of the house, behind the house, and in the fields, not only can you fight in the field, but you can also dig up the stinky earthworms used for fishing yellow eels everywhere.

The red earthworms used for fishing are not easy to dig, but the stinky earthworms used for fishing yellow eels are as many as there are.

Zhou An took a flashlight, went to the utility room to find a shovel, and didn't go far, just at the edge of the grove behind his house, he casually found a place with a lot of rotten leaves, and within a few minutes, he dug up dozens of stinky earthworms thick with chopsticks.

With the finished fishing and earthworms, Zhou An carried the paint bucket used to pick up snails today, and left the village with a flashlight.

The earthworms and fishing sticks were all in the bucket, and the flashlight was held in the hand but not turned on for the time being.

Yellow eel fishing has to go to the river, and the deep water in the drainage ditch in the field may also be caught, but the main thing is to find the riverside with a suitable environment, and all the river ponds near Zhoujia Village are ownery.

Every pond is contracted and has fish.

Although the yellow eel is a thing, the fish farmer has no ability to get it, Zhou An went to the river to fish, even if he was seen by the fish farmer, he would not turn his face, but Zhou An still subconsciously avoided being seen, so as not to talk nonsense to others.

The Zhou River in front of Zhoujiacun Village, the water is too clear, and Zhou An estimates that even if there are yellow eels, there will not be many of them.

So he took advantage of the moonlight to go to a few small ponds behind the village, those ponds are not big, the large ones are a few acres of water surface, and the small water surface is less than one acre.

The common denominator is that there are a lot of aquatic plants growing around each pond, because they have not been cleaned for many years, and the silt at the bottom of the pond is also very deep, and in his experience, those places are the places where the eel likes to survive the most.

It's very simple to get a fisher, find a pond with a lot of aquatic weeds, the more aquatic weeds the better, if there are still one or two trees, it would be better, touch the pond, close to the water surface, and pull a small hole in the aquatic weeds.

Then string an earthworm on the sewing needle of the fishing rod, untie all the entangled fishing lines, and throw the fishing needle with the earthworm into the aquatic weed hole.

By the way, don't forget to stick the stick tied to the fishing line by the river, the more firmly inserted the better, the end of the stick is sharpened, just to make it easier to insert it into the soil.

Zhou An knows that there are two ways to fish for yellow eels, this kind of fishing, it takes a long time, and the fishing tonight will only see the effect tomorrow morning.

The advantage of fishing for yellow eels with a hook is that you can catch dozens of fish at a time, and you can put dozens of fish in dozens of different places.

There are only two things that take a lot of effort, one is to catch the fish, and the other is to collect the fish the next morning.

If you're lucky, most of the fish will have a yellow eel on them when you harvest them in the morning, but if you're unlucky...... That's hard to say.

Therefore, fishing is a test of eyesight and experience.

With good eyesight and experience, you can know which location on the river beach is about to catch yellow eel, and which location is very unlikely to have yellow eel.

At night, Zhou An walked around the small ponds behind the village like a thief, and when he saw a suitable position, he squatted in the crops and turned on the flashlight, strung an earthworm, and went to the next fisherman.

Not only to avoid being seen by the pond owner, but also to avoid being seen by anyone.

Because there are not many people in Zhoujia Village who can make fishing and are interested in making fishing, but there are many people who know this thing, if someone sees where he has fished, it is estimated that before he comes to collect the fishing seeds tomorrow morning, some of them will be taken by others first, and they will be obtained without work.
