Chapter 49: Hidden Pearls in the Belly of the Fish

A fish was hooked, and Qi Xiang was about to reel in the rod, when he suddenly felt that the fishing line was tight, and a huge force surged in, so that the fishing rod almost flew out of his hand.

"What's going on?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the flat surface of the lake immediately made a splash and made a loud noise.

The boat boss has a lot of experience, and when he saw the movement on the water, he immediately smiled in surprise and said: "Big fish, there must be a big fish on the hook." ”

"What big fish?"

Xiao Ding, who was at the stern of the boat, rushed over to see the excitement.

At this moment, Qi Xiang didn't care about speaking, holding the fishing rod tightly with both hands, and his body kept leaning back. However, the fishing rod and line in his hand were at a 90-degree angle, and they were very bent.

Not only is the rod bent, but the line is even tighter, almost forming a straight line.

Xiao Ding walked over and took a look, and hurriedly reminded: "Shopkeeper Qi, loosen the line, hurry up and loosen the line." Otherwise, the thread will break. ”

"That's right, loosen the line first."

The boss rushed over, nodded and agreed: "To catch a big fish, you must be patient, and you must slowly deal with it." One by one, sometimes loose, sometimes tight, grinding it, consuming it, and when it is exhausted, it can be caught. ”

Under the guidance of Xiao Ding and the boat boss, Qi Xiang also loosened the fishing line in time. However, the line was loosened, and it was immediately tightened, and the slender fishing line kept circling and winding around the lake.

The dark tide under the water is turbulent, and from time to time it stirs up pieces of broken water.

This movement is not small, Xiao Ding saw it in his eyes, and was even more excited: "Shopkeeper Qi, this must be a big fish, not to mention twenty or thirty catties." Don't let it go. ”

"I try my best to ......" Qi Xiang said with a smile, seeing the big fish struggling in the water, and the fishing rod shaking even more restlessly, he felt not tired, but full of vitality and fulfillment.

Vaguely, he also understood why so many people liked fishing. The main thing is that this feeling of conquest, domination, and control is indeed very intoxicating, pleasant, and easy to indulge in.

People and fish hang by a thread.

For fish, it's a game of life and death. For people, it is also very thrilling and exciting. A small fishing line, but it is the focus of the game between the two sides. The line is saved, the person wins, and the fish dies. The line is broken, the fish escapes, and the people lose.

All of a sudden, the tension began to permeate.

The boat boss and Xiao Ding looked at the lake intently, a little restless. It's Qi Xiang, but he enjoys it, constantly adjusting the fishing line, and fighting wits and courage with the big fish underwater.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

The big fish also gradually surfaced, and the boat boss and Xiao Ding also saw very clearly, only to see that the big fish was silver and white, about a foot long, and the fish scales shimmered in the sunset, which was very beautiful.

"Wow, I haven't seen such a big whitebait in years."

At first glance, the boat boss was also taken aback, and then quickly ran back to the cabin and brought a long-handled fish net, intending to help Qi Xiang.

"I don't need your help......" Qi Xiang waved his hand and refused, then estimated, and suddenly pulled the fishing rod, and the big fish in the water immediately flew out of the water and hung in the air.

The big fish struggled in the air, jumping lively, but there was no place to borrow strength in the air, no matter how much it jumped, it could not escape the control of Qi Xiang, and finally fell into the net on the deck.

"Haha, this big guy ......" The boat boss touched it, weighed it again, and muttered: "It should be forty catties, and it is still alive, and if you send it to the big restaurant, it can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of yuan." ”

"Shopkeeper Qi, you're still amazing." Xiao Ding gave a thumbs up: "No wonder there has been no movement, it turns out that I am holding back my strength and fishing for big fish." ”

"It's just a fluke." Qi Xiang said, in fact, it was a little strange, he remembered that his goal was obviously a small fish, how did he become this big fish?

At this moment, the captain of the boat bent down to unhook the fish, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, it's strange." ”

"What's the situation?" Qi Xiang and Xiao Ding hurriedly looked.

The boat boss moved his hand, unhooked the hook, and then pulled it again, and pulled out a small fish in the mouth of the big fish.

"Haha, fish set fish!" The boat boss smiled and said, "It seems that the small fish should have eaten the bait first, and then the big fish ate the small fish before they were caught." ”

"Even the middle of the two!" Xiao Ding was also surprised: "There is still such a thing? ”

"Rare, very rare, one in ten thousand." The boat boss laughed and said, "I only know that big fish eat small fish, and small fish have to eat, but I have never seen it with my own eyes." ”

"Old Wu, got a big fish?"

Suddenly, several small boats wandering nearby also wandered over.

After all, the movement of Qi Xiang and the big fish game is not small, which naturally attracts the attention of some people. Several experienced boatmen also know that when gambling, they can't lean over and bother. Now that the dust has settled, it is natural to join in the fun.

"Hey, what a big fish."

As soon as they approached, the big fish that slapped their tails on the deck immediately aroused the admiration of several boatmen.

The tail of the big fish slapped the deck loudly, and the strength and wildness fully showed that the big fish must be wild and wild, not the product of artificial breeding.

"Lao Wu, is this big fish for sale?" A boatman smiled and said, "I know someone in the restaurant, do you want to send it for you?" ”

"It's not my ......" The boat boss shook his head and pointed at Qi Xiang: "It was this guest who caught it." ”

"Oh......"

Hearing this, several boatmen stopped squeaking. Because they also know that for tourists, when they harvest such a big fish, they are generally reluctant to sell it, but take it home and eat it themselves.

Qi Xiang also planned to do the same, looked up at the sunset, and said with a smile: "Brother Ding, it's getting late, we also have our own gains, it's time to go back." ”

"Okay, good ......," Xiao Ding naturally agreed.

The two went home and returned with a full load. Back on the shore, some people were very surprised to see the big fish in Qi Xiang's hand, and some even surrounded and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Big brother, do you sell this fish? How much? "Someone asked for the price and wanted to buy the big fish.

"Don't sell ......" Xiao Ding blocked the way: "This fish is caught by ourselves, not for sale!" ”

After overcoming obstacles all the way and squeezing through a large crowd, the two of them finally came to the place where they parked and drove back to the city.

When we arrived in the center of the city, it was already lit up and the sky was dark.

At this time, Qi Xiang refused Xiao Ding's invitation to go to his house as a guest, and after making an appointment to meet again tomorrow, he went home alone. When he returned home, the big fish in his hand naturally became dying due to the lack of water for a long time.

Qi Xiang hurriedly fetched a large bucket of water, and then put the big fish into the water. But the fish in the water was motionless, and its fat body floated a little, as if it had become a dead fish.

Seeing this situation, Qi Xiang was also very helpless, and knew that he should buy a large pot of water to raise fish on the shore first, and then transport it back. But because of the large number of people, I was in a hurry, but I forgot about this.

The live fish has become a dead fish, and if it is not dealt with, it is estimated that it will be rancid and stinky tomorrow.

Qi Xiang sighed, immediately carried the big fish to the kitchen, rested it on the cutting board, and then used the knife to cut the fish's abdomen. With a knife slash, and then a hand, a fishy mess of fish dirt was taken out.

"Huh?"

Qi Xiang pulled the fish dirt with his hands, but he felt that he had touched a hard thing, like a stone. He was a little curious, and opened the fish dirt, but saw a flash of ghostly light.

"Huh?"

Qi Xiang looked at it and was immediately stunned. I saw that thing, round as if it were beads. However, it may be stained with fish blood, and the surface is slightly black, reflecting a faint light in the light.

After taking a look, Qi Xiang suddenly had a wonderful feeling, thinking that it should be a good thing, so he hurriedly reached out and picked up the beads, and then turned on the faucet to clean them.

After washing it, Qi Xiang looked at it again, and saw that the thing was very round, about the size of an egg. Unexpectedly, the true color of things turned out to be black, black to glow, black to shiny, there is a sense of crystal transparency.

"What is this?" Qi Xiang watched for a moment, a little uncertain: "Black pearl? ”

Taihu Lake is rich in pearls, which is not an uncommon thing.

Taihu pearls, also known as lake pearls, are one of the nine major pearl varieties classified by origin. As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, Taihu pearls have been royal tribute, and Hepu pearls, South China Sea pearls, Dongting pearls, collectively known as the four treasures.

Taihu pearls, round and soft, bright luster, are not only precious ornaments, but also valuable medicinal materials. The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty often used freshwater pearls in Taihu Lake to beautify her beauty.

But as far as Qi Xiang knows, Taihu pearls should be mainly white pearls, and I have never heard of black pearls. So he wasn't sure if the bead in his hand was a pearl.

But what is certain is that whether it is a pearl or not, it is definitely a treasure.

Qi Xiang held the beads, only to see a magnificent glow, which shone from the inside and outside, the dark luster was pure to the extreme, and naturally produced an indescribable beauty.

On top of that, the beads look like natural pearls, not cultured pearls. The price gap between natural pearls and cultured pearls is not small, often by several times, or even more than ten times.

"All in all, it's a good thing......" Qi Xiang looked at the beads, and suddenly felt that the villa on the mountain had fallen.

Qi Xiang caressed the pearl and watched it until late at night, imagining it. In a daze, he also fell asleep.

After a night of silence, when he woke up the next day, Qi Xiang subconsciously reached out and touched the black pearl on the side of the bed, and he was completely awake.

He got up and washed up, and then went out for breakfast. At the same time, Xiao Ding's call came as scheduled.

Qi Xiang immediately smiled when he looked at the caller ID, and after answering the phone, he made an appointment with Xiao Ding to meet at a certain place, he cleaned up his room a little and went out directly.

Soon after, Qi Xiang came to a teahouse with a quiet environment, Xiao Ding had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile......
