In the autumn rain, it was very comfortable to stay at the door of the house drinking wine and eating side dishes, Ao Muyang swallowed edamame and became interested in gossip, and asked, "Xiucai and the little female leopard have become?"

For nearly a month, Xiucai didn't come to work on his ship again, so Ao Muyang really didn't know about his recent situation.

Ao Fugui nodded: "It's almost, I've seen this girl the little leopard, she is smooth and beautiful, the conditions outside are very good, it is estimated that Xiucai is sad to pass the beauty pass." ”

Ao Muyang shook his head, he sucked a snail meat and said: "I don't care much about the girl's appearance, I'm not the same person as you, let me tell you, don't pick the appearance when looking for a daughter-in-law, the good-looking skin is the same, and the interesting soul is one in a thousand." ”

Ao Fugui said: "I have to have a choice, I want to find an interesting soul, but I can't find it, the ones I found, the soul alone is about 200 catties, what do you say I should do?"

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Take her to the sea, this life at sea can't raise a fat person, it doesn't matter if she is 200 catties or 300 catties, she has to become 100 catties when she goes to sea for a year." ”

"Then the skin on her face is thicker than my heels, what am I trying to do?" Ao Fugui shook his head again and again with a sip of wine.

Heavy rain continued for two or three days until the end of mid-November, when it subsided.

The arrival of this autumn rainstorm is to announce that the cold weather is beginning to rule the red ocean, Ao Muyang put on the jacket he just bought, and in the days to come, he has to think about how to keep out the cold instead of how to take advantage of the cold.

When the heavy rain stopped, Ao Muyang called Lu Zhizi, and then went to clean up the fish basket together.

Compared to the previous days, the water level in Ambergris Lake has risen a bit.

Standing by the lake, Ao Muyang felt that even with this heavy rain, the water in the ambergris lake was still not much, and compared with when he left his hometown, the water level in the lake dropped very much.

Following the mark, he found the fish basket placed on the edge of the lake, Ao Muyang went into the water and carefully lifted the fish basket up.

This is a hard work, before leaving the water surface, the lake water has buoyancy, and it is not heavy to carry the fish basket, but from the beginning of the water surface, the buoyancy decreases sharply, and the gravity doubles, so it is difficult to lift the fish basket.

The fish basket is made of bamboo strips, and it should not be too hard, otherwise it will be easily broken by the water.

Especially the bottom of the fish basket, although the old man Ao Zhiman skillfully reinforced, but it is still easy to break under the pressure of the water.

When you lift the basket, the water flows out of the gap, and something inside hits the walls of the basket, and this is the fish you have caught.

When the lake was clean, Ao Muyang lifted the fish basket ashore, and poured out the contents with a flick of his hand, and suddenly, several fish appeared by the lake.

There are loaches, crucian carp and grass carp, as well as two strange fish that resemble loaches.

These two strange fish have a yellow-brown body with black markings on them, a large and flat head, a short, round and blunt mouth, a large mouth that can be seen when one is closed, and a nose tube is also very thick, extending forward beyond the upper lip.

They have large scales with pearlescent highlights between the scales, especially on the dorsal and anal fins.

Seeing this kind of fish, Ao Muyang smiled, and when he saw this, Lu Zhizi asked, "What kind of fish is this?" I've been here for almost half a year, and I haven't seen this kind of fish yet. ”

Ao Muyang said: "This is a seven-star fish, the scientific name is the moon snakehead, a very fierce and fierce freshwater fish, it is not easy to catch them in ordinary times." ”

Seven-star fish are wide-temperature fish, very adaptable, like shady environments, love to burrow, burrow and group dwelling, generally inhabit mountain streams, if they live near lakes, they live in coastal areas.

Although they live along the coast, it is not easy to catch them in normal times, because their holes are very hidden, and they have the habit of digging holes, and will make a bunch of holes around the caves, which can be called the water version of the cunning rabbit three holes.

In this way, the best chance to catch the seven-star fish is to place the fish basket in advance when the lake rises, because they are burrowing and willing to live in the fish basket, especially if there is food in the fish basket.

The seven-star fish is a good fish, he grabbed two fish and stuffed them into the net pocket and introduced: "You know, the protein content of fish meat is relatively high, and it is easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, and the nutrients in the seven-star fish meat are higher than ordinary fish. ”

Lu Zhizi said: "Well, this one looks delicious, it is slightly similar to yellow eels, loaches and eels." ”

Seven star fish are not only delicious, they have medicinal value, this fish stew soup to the body with wounds, especially people who have just had surgery, have a good effect of promoting wound healing.

Ao Muyang lifted the fish baskets one by one, and then finally harvested more than 100 large and small fish and shrimp, of which there were fifteen or sixteen seven-star fish, which was quite a lot.

These seven-star fish are not big, and the largest one is slightly longer than his palm, at most half a catty, and this is already a big fish in the wild seven-star fish, this kind of fish grows very slowly, so it is so nutritious.

Among the fifteen or sixteen seven-star fish, half of the head is small, Ao Muyang threw them into the Xiaolou breeding pond, the bottom of the breeding pond is mud, and the seven-star fish can make holes in it to survive.

He promised to give Ao Qianlai some shares, so he picked two fat ones from the remaining seven-star fish, mixed them with some carp and crucian carp, and sent them to him.

Before leaving, he put the bamboo basket down again, and while the water level in the lake had not dropped, this method of digging holes and trapping fish could be used several more times.

He brought the rest of the fish back home, and at noon he made a pot of black jujube soup for Lu Zhizi, which is a very popular soup in the south, which is not drunk by ordinary people, and is specially supplied to patients who have had a knife.

He first cut two seven-star fish, and then prepared Huaishan, black dates, and ginger, fried the fish slightly, then added water, put in Huaishan, black dates and ginger slices, and finally seasoned with salt, and nothing else was needed, and the dish was completed.

In the cold autumn wind, when the fish soup was cooked, he first scooped a bowl of Lu Zhizi and said, "Come, drink more fish soup, it can enhance resistance." ”

Lu Zhizi's physical fitness is average, not only has old problems with the stomach, but also has a weak immune system, this heavy rain fell, although she did not get drenched in the rain, but there were some signs of cold.

The fish soup of the Seven Star Fish is very delicious, and Lu Zhizi sat at the door and sipped it one bite at a time, with a satisfied face.

After the rain stopped, the weather improved, and Ao Muyang began to prepare to drive the Dalongtou to sea for the first time.

Just as it is customary to build a new house with beams, according to tradition, there are many customs for fishing boats to travel for the first time, more than to build a house.

After all, for the fishermen, the house is just a residence, but the boat is a job and a life-saving guy, and if there is a problem with the house, it is uncomfortable to live at most, and if the boat has a problem, it may be dead.

In late November, Ao Muyang and Ao Daodao discussed the matter of the first voyage of the Dalongtou two days in advance, and then in the early morning of the next day, Ao Muyang stepped on the dock in high spirits.
