Chapter 116: The First Eel Fishing

The next morning, Xia Xiaomo pestered Chen Zhiping to go fishing for yellow eels, Chen Zhiyuan wanted to watch TV, and Chen Jianjun and Liu Sufen went to visit the house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Zhiping found two iron wires at home, and then sharpened one end of each wire and bent it into a hook, this hook is not only sharp and sharp but also has high strength, and ordinary fishing hooks can not catch yellow eels, because yellow eels are in the hole, and the strength is great, and the hooks must be torn off.

Xia Xiaomo said curiously: "Zhiping, can you fish for yellow eels with just such a wire?"

Chen Zhiping smiled: "Of course, although it is very simple, but it is very practical. As long as the yellow eel is hooked, it is generally impossible to escape, and this hook can pierce the yellow eel's head. ”

Xia Xiaomo grinned and said, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to being able to catch a big yellow eel as a novice." ”

Chen Zhiping smiled: "I believe you will definitely do it." Let's go dig up the earthworms now. ”

After speaking, Chen Zhiping picked up a hoe and took Xia Xiaomo to the soil on the edge of the dam in his yard, and dug down with a few hoes, and dug up a lot of fat and long earthworms.

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Xiaomo, are you afraid of earthworms? Don't look at them scary, in fact, they don't bite, and the tofu you bought in the vegetable market is said to have earthworms added to it!"

Xia Xiaomo was disgusted when she heard this, and said, "Ah, these tofu sellers are too bad, how to add earthworms to tofu." ”

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing, earthworms are very rich in protein, and there are restaurants abroad that sell earthworms to eat! Okay, it seems that you can't do it, or I'll come." ”

After that, Chen Zhiping began to pack the earthworm in an iron box, and then put an earthworm on the iron hook as a bait.

Chen Zhiping went to bring the fish basket and put it on his waist again, and then took Xia Xiaomo out to fish for yellow eel.

The two walked to the field one after the other, at this time in the field in the morning, there was a layer of mist in the field, which looked like a dream, Xia Xiaomo was completely immersed in this beautiful scenery, she reveled and said: "It's so clear air, it's so beautiful!"

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Otherwise, people in the city yearn for rural life, although there is no bustle in the city, it is inconvenient to buy things, but the environment is good, the air is good, and living in this kind of place will be pleasant." ”

Xia Xiaomo longed: "When we get old in the future, we will go back to the countryside to live, how good!"

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Okay, then we will build a big villa, and the whole family will live in it." ”

There are still a lot of white cranes in the field, and when they saw someone coming, they flapped their wings and flew away, Xia Xiaomo said curiously: "Zhiping, what are these white cranes looking for in the field to eat?

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Maybe, but they seem to eat more snails and the like, and the loaches are hidden in the mud and are not easy to catch." ”

Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo came to the ridge, Chen Zhiping smiled: "Xiaomo, let's start looking for the cave of the yellow eel, generally on the ridge, after finding it, put the bait on the iron hook at the mouth of the hole, keep shaking, so that the yellow eel in the hole will feel, it will slowly poke out and bite the earthworm on the hook, at this time you must hold on to the iron hook, don't let go, this yellow eel has a lot of strength, especially when it is in the hole." ”

Xia Xiaomo nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to do it." ”

At this time, after a winter of dormancy, the yellow eel is very hungry, and it eats when it sees something, so it is relatively easy to catch.

Xia Xiaomo also learned in biology textbooks that the yellow eel is a fish that lives in ponds, rivers and lakes, and the most special thing is that it is an animal that can be converted between male and female, which is very rare in the animal kingdom. The eels are all female, and once they grow up, they become males. That is, from the embryonic stage to the first sexual maturity, it is a female, and its body length is less than 35 cm at the time; Gradually becoming male after spawning; When the body length is more than 30 centimeters, the partial sex is reversed, and the males and females are almost equal, and those who grow to more than 50 centimeters are mostly males. This is really both a father and a mother, and the yellow eel has the habit of protecting the nest, which is very fierce.

When the eel is going to lay eggs, it will drill two holes in the edge of the field, and then spit out a lot of foam at the mouth of the hole, and the fertilized eggs are on the top of the bubbles, which is the best to find, but it is not yet the time when the eels give birth to the next generation, and they generally do not begin to lay eggs until the seedlings grow to twenty or thirty centimeters high. At that time, as long as there was a bubble hole, there must have been a yellow eel, and it was relatively large.

But now, there are holes that are not necessarily in them, they are empty holes. Chen Zhiping is experienced, and he didn't go far to find a hole drilled by a yellow eel, because it was still relatively fresh, so there must be a yellow eel in it, but what Xia Xiaomo found was an abandoned hole, she shouldn't have been able to distinguish it, so she learned Chen Zhiping to swing the bait back and forth in the hole, but she shook it for a while, until Chen Zhiping caught a yellow eel with a foot long, but she didn't open it.

Xia Xiaomo said loudly: "Zhiping, I don't seem to have a yellow eel here, did I run away?"

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "Then you try again, it is estimated that there is no hole, you look for the kind of hole that looks fresh, preferably the kind with the imprint of yellow eel, there must be one." ”

Chen Zhiping was afraid that Xia Xiaomo would still not be able to catch it, so he walked to her side, helped her find a hole, and then squatted on the ridge with her.

Chen Zhiping whispered: "Wait a while, you pay attention, the eating habit of the yellow eel is very interesting, it will not bite flat, but bite with its mouth towards the sky." When fishing for eels, the yellow eel bites very fiercely, and it catches it with a fierce bite at the right time, and it will not let go easily. At this time, you will drag it out hard, be decisive, the mouth of the yellow eel will be pierced by the hook, it will retract hard, desperately resist, of course, this process is very interesting, you will have a sense of accomplishment after fishing. Pay attention, as if it came out. ”

At this time, Xia Xiaomo found that the hook in her hand really sank, and then she felt a strong force coming from the iron hook, it seemed that there was really a yellow eel biting the hook, she hurriedly pulled it out according to what Chen Zhiping said, fortunately this is a yellow eel that is not too big, where can it fight people?

Chen Zhiping smiled: "Okay, Xiaomo pull it out, I'll take it!"

Xia Xiaomo only felt extremely excited in her heart, she actually caught a yellow eel, it seemed that there were at least one or two.

Xia Xiaomo lifted it up, and the yellow eel's body twisted and entangled in the wire, so frightened that Xia Xiaomo almost threw it away.

Chen Zhiping grabbed the body of the yellow eel, then took it off the hook, and said with a smile: "Xiaomo, yes, this yellow eel is at least one or two or five dollars, and you can feast on it by catching ten or twenty of them." ”
