Chapter 98: Lobster Fishing
The overall topography of Yuema Township is slightly higher than that of Sanma Township.
The terrain is slightly higher, so naturally there are good and bad sides.
On the bright side, during the rainy season and when there is a lot of rain every year, the crops in Yuema Township are rarely flooded like those in Sanma Township.
Not only crops, but also the slightly higher Yuema Township is actually more suitable for growing melons and fruits than Sanma Township, and the reason is also that it will be soaked in heavy water.
Many people probably know their habits, with enough sunlight and not too wet soil, the melons and fruits will be sweeter and the yield will be good.
There are also some bad sides, the most intuitive embodiment is that the rivers and ponds on this side of Yuema Township are generally relatively shallow, and there are not many shallow waters, it is difficult to say, but it is certain that the fish are not easy to raise.
Moreover, the fish raised here in Yuema Township are not delicious, and there is generally a faint muddy smell, especially in summer and autumn.
Unlike the deep water in Sanma Township, the fish raised are large, white and delicious.
The fish in Yuema Township are not easy to raise, which leads to a lot of slightly smaller fish ponds, ditches and so on, no one raises fish at all, and there are patches of barrenness.
This is a paradise for wild anglers, and there is not a single fish in the barren pond where no one keeps fish, but some crucian carp, river shrimp, black fish, and ang thorn will grow on its own.
In recent years, I don't know what's going on, most of the barren ponds in Yuema Township have begun to appear crayfish, crayfish this thing, there was no such variety in Yuema Township before.
Maybe it's someone who raised it, or maybe it came from somewhere else, anyway, there is, and, because of the super reproductive ability of crayfish, it has greatly squeezed the living space of local river shrimp.
It was already lunch time, and Tian Lu, who was wearing a straw hat, was still in high spirits fishing for lobsters by the ditch under a barren slope, and five fishing rods were lined up within about three meters in front of him.
It's a good location, and there are crooked-neck trees by the ditch, and the canopy is quite prosperous, which can shield him from the scorching midday sun.
In the red plastic bucket behind him, there were already two or three catties of crayfish crawling around in the bucket, the large shell was purple-red, and the small one, the shrimp shell was only slightly red, and the color was closer to transparent.
There is no water in the bucket, because once the crayfish are caught, if they are re-raised with water, they will die quickly, similar to crabs.
Tian Lu was energetic, looking back and forth between the five fishing rods, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw that one of the fishing lines was straightened, he hurriedly walked over, grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it up without hurry, and the fishing line began to shake, and the shaking amplitude was not small.
Tian Lu grinned, and sure enough, soon a large purple-red lobster was caught by a black earthworm tied in the fishing line, and he was lifted to the surface.
The speed is not slow, there is no need to be nine shallow and one deep, Tian Lu lifted it ashore, and then suddenly sped up and swung in front of him, took the old lobster off the bait, and threw it into the red bucket behind him.
Yes!
Fishing for crayfish is so simple, just tie a black earthworm on the fishing line, you don't need a hook, because the stupid crayfish no matter how big or small, out of the water, will still stupidly clamp the black earthworm on the fishing line with pliers, it's so stupid, it's so biao!
The key secret is that when you lift the rod, you must not be in a hurry!
The speed of lifting is too fast, even if the lobster is reluctant to let go of the bait, it can't clamp it.
If the lifting speed is too slow, it may not be able to clamp, after all, you can't expect every crayfish to have enough strength to clamp the bait for a long time, and it will also be weak.
Besides, although the crayfish is stupid, no matter how stupid the crayfish is, it also has a sense of crisis, and when it realizes that the situation is dangerous, it will definitely let go of its pincers.
"Wild dogs, aren't you going home for dinner at this time? You've been sunburned, haven't you caught them?"
Tian Bencai's voice suddenly came from the grove behind Tian Lu, startling him.
When he turned around and saw the rice bowl in his father's hand, he grinned, "Hehe, Dad, brought me food?
Tian Lu said, immediately went over and took the dishes and chopsticks and started eating.
"You're hungry and don't want to go home for dinner?"
Tian Bencai glared at him, walked to the red bucket unhurriedly and glanced at the bucket, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You have fished so much in the morning?
Without waiting for Tian Lu to answer, Tian Bencai asked again: "So many, there are two or three catties, right! Xiao An really told you to give you ten yuan for one catty?"
"Uh-huh......"
Tian Lu's mouth was stuffed with food, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, his voice regained clarity, "Yes! Xiao An will definitely not lie to me! Those boys in the village know that they spin lotus roots in the lotus pond and pick lotus flowers to eat, and if they die, they will dig out crab holes from the side of the lotus pond again, which one can think of coming here to fish for lobsters? Besides, although there are a lot of barren ponds here, the weather is so hot, much hotter than the lotus pond, those boys won't come!"
Tian Lu answered Tian Bencai's first question by the way.
The lotus pond in his mouth is the Yingyue Lake that surrounds Tianwu Village.
Tian Bencai nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he became interested, walked to the ditch to inspect the fishing rods, and asked while inspecting: "Just fishing like this? The pole is so short? There is no float on the line?"
Seeing that his father was also interested, Tian Lu smiled, walked over and pointed to one of the fishing rods, "Oh!
"Hooked?"
Tian Bencai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to lift the rod, Tian Lu was startled when he saw his rapid speed, and reminded repeatedly: "Slow down, slow down! It's too fast, it's too fast......"
However, his reminder was still a little late, only to see Tian Bencai suddenly lift the fishing rod as if fishing, a jade tree wind crayfish two tongs dead sandwich the earthworm on the fishing line was lifted out of the water, but because Tian Ben was too fast, this jade tree wind crayfish clicked, fell into the water, turned up a small splash, and disappeared under Tian Bencai's regretful gaze.
"This? I mentioned it so quickly, why did it still fall off? It didn't bite it?"
Tamoto speculated based on his own fishing experience.
Tian Lu couldn't cry or laugh, "Dad, you're not slow, you're too fast, I just told you to slow down, so loud, do you think I'm shouting cheers for you?
"Really, it's not good to be faster?"
Tian Bencai will be skeptical.
Just then the other line also moved, and he immediately ran to pick up the rod again.
Tian Lu kept reminding beside him: "Slow down, slow down! Be gentle, Dad!"
This time, Tamoto, who had learned a lesson, slowed down his movements, and sure enough, he successfully brought up a crayfish...... Sun Tzu - a crayfish whose shell is still transparent, really small.
There was a fly in the ointment, but Tamoto, who managed to catch one, was still very happy.
"It's kind of interesting, since this can be sold for money, then Lao Tzu will fish with you this afternoon, and you will make a few more rods when you go home after eating!"
Tian Lu: "......"
