Chapter 201: Trapping Eel Seedlings

Li Yuan put the prepared pork liver bait into the trap at the bow of the boat, and then carefully poured the water from another bucket into the bottle in the trap.

This was not ordinary clear water, Li Yuan had already dissolved a gold bead in it beforehand. In order to be able to trap the eel seedlings along the way, he also spent a lot of money.

Wang Qiaoyang, who was in the cockpit, looked at the busy Li Yuan, with a smile of indifference on his face. In his opinion, the young man's whimsical plan could not succeed at all, and would eventually be defeated by the cruel truth.

Under Wang Qiaoyang's gaze, Li Yuan prepared several traps, and then came to the side of the cockpit and said to him: "Boss Wang, where was the place with the most eel seedlings last year?" Let's try our luck there! ”

"Last year I caught a lot of eels on the north side of the island." Wang Qiaoyang said to Li Yuan while recalling: "The water there is shallow and the current is relatively slow, and it is easier for eels to swim upstream. ”

"Then let's go there and have a look!" Li Yuan immediately made a decision to let Wang Qiaoyang turn around and head north.

But even on the road, Li Yuan didn't intend to waste time. Anyway, the trap is ready, so it's better to try your luck in the water.

So Li Yuan quickly put several traps into the water, and then tied the rope to the side of the boat to see if he could catch a few eel seedlings along the way.

After the trap was launched, the rotting pig liver mixed with the water that dissolved the gold beads slowly spread in the river water. Although this process cannot be seen with the naked eye, it has attracted many creatures in the water, just as Li Yuan hoped.

However, although the speed of the small fishing boat is not fast, it is not easy for the creatures in the water to catch up. When the fishing boat arrived at the place Wang Qiaoyang said an hour later, Li Yuan checked the trap. It was found that there were no other living creatures except for a few small shrimps.

"I just said it won't work!" Wang Qiaoyang is also a real person. Seeing this, he said directly to Li Yuan: "Eel seedlings still have to rely on fishing, you are wasting money." ”

"I'm definitely not willing to give it a try." Li Yuan smiled at the upright boat boss, added some pig liver and water dissolved with gold beads to the trap, and put all the traps into the water again.

"Alas, young people just don't hit the south wall and don't look back!" 王桥阳shakeshake≈dǐng≈diǎn≈小≈語,.≡.o←s_(); head, anchor to stabilize the fishing boat. He took a handful of nets and went to the side of the boat, staring closely at the nearby water.

Although Wang Qiaoyang has already agreed with Li Yuan, no matter how many eel seedlings he catches today, they will belong to the other party. However, to be honest, he still hopes to catch as many eel seedlings as possible, at least so that Li Yuan can reduce some losses. After all, people spent a lot of money to rent a boat, and if they got nothing, even Wang Qiaoyang felt embarrassed.

However, Li Yuan's luck seems to be good today, and less than half an hour after the boat stopped, Wang Qiaoyang had already caught four eel seedlings. If this trend continues, it will become the eel fry in the news today. Wang Qiaoyang had the best day.

"Boss Li, you're in luck." Wang Qiaoyang put the eel seedlings he had just caught into the bucket, and said to Li Yuan with a smile: "This is already the fourth, if it goes on like this, it will not be a problem to catch a hundred today!" ”

Li Yuan smiled at the kind-hearted boat boss, then shook his head lightly and said, "I won't tell you, I have about eight acres of water and plan to raise eels, and this is just a hundred eel seedlings...... Not at all. ”

Listened to Li Yuan's words. Wang Qiaoyang also shook his head with a wry smile. Generally speaking, the stocking density of eel seedlings is related to their size, if Li Yuan has eight acres of water surface. The number of eels needed should be at least 20,000 or 30,000. Even if he can catch a hundred today, it will not help him.

However, Wang Qiaoyang has no choice about this, all he can do is to try his best to catch a few more eel seedlings, which can be regarded as helping Li Yuan recover some losses.

Today, Wang Qiaoyang's luck was really good, and after ten minutes, he caught several more eel seedlings. After putting a freshly picked up eel fry into the bucket. Wang Qiaoyang suddenly thought of a possibility: his luck is so good today, maybe it really has something to do with Li Yuan's trap, otherwise how could there be so many eel seedlings nearby?

Thinking of this, Wang Qiaoyang couldn't stay calm anymore, and hurriedly said to Li Yuan: "Boss Li, quickly pull your trap up and take a look." Maybe it's really rewarding! ”

Li Yuan originally planned to do the same, but when he heard this, he smiled at Wang Qiaoyang, and quickly lifted a trap out of the water. The plastic bucket filled with water is not light, but it seems to have no weight in Li Yuan's hands. With a flick of his wrist, he quickly lowered the trap into the prepared plastic sink.

This is done because when the trap leaves the river, the water inside will flow out of the small holes on the surface. There is also a chance that the small eel seedlings will flow out, and if you don't prepare in advance, all your efforts will be wasted.

Li Yuan opened the lid of the trap and nervously looked at the river flowing out of it, hoping to see the traces of the eel seedlings.

In fact, the experienced Wang Qiaoyang discovered it earlier than Li Yuan, and before he opened the lid, the boat boss excitedly said loudly: "Look, eel seedlings!" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a few eel seedlings in the plastic sink that were the length of their little fingers, not much thicker than hemp rope, and their whole bodies were almost transparent. This made him feel overjoyed, knowing that his method had worked.

"Open the lid and take a look!" Wang Qiaoyang was more anxious than Li Yuan, and urged him to open the lid of the trap.

And when Li Yuan opened the lid, the situation in the trap still surprised him who was prepared. Inside the trap, in addition to a dozen small shrimp, there is a thick layer of translucent eel seedlings on the bottom!

Wang Qiaoyang also saw this scene, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Oops! Boss Li, you sent it this time! ”

At this time, Li Yuan didn't care about saying anything to the boat boss, and hurriedly poured all the eel seedlings in the trap into the bucket. Although he couldn't count the number of eels in total, Wang Qiaoyang, an experienced experiencer, estimated that there were as many as four or five hundred eel seedlings in a trap!

Excited, the two pulled several other traps out of the water, and then found that each trap had caught hundreds of eel seedlings. In other words, in just half a day's effort, Li Yuan has already caught more than 3,000 eel seedlings! This also proves that Li Yuan's method is very effective, and the efficiency of traps is much higher than that of manual fishing.

However, Li Yuan didn't have time to be happy at the moment, but with the help of Wang Qiaoyang, he reloaded the bait into the trap, added water that dissolved the gold beads, and then threw it all back into the water. He was going to take advantage of the fact that it was still early and continue to trap the eels in this place.

It turned out that Li Yuan's decision was right. By the evening of the same day, he had trapped more than 6,000 eel seedlings. Although this amount is not enough to meet the needs of the fish pond, it is a miracle that so many eel fry are caught in one day. (To be continued.) )
