Chapter 22: The Pink Manta Ray
Cai Hongsheng came to Lu Qiaohong and a few other girls and wanted to talk to them, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
When he saw it, he told them interesting stories about catching birds and digging eggs and Cai Hongming's fishing and voles when he was a child. Although he is poor in reading, his eloquence is good, and ordinary things are stunned by him, and he listens to the yearning of several girls.
After Lu Qiaohong heard this, she ran over to Cai Hongming and asked, "Brother, why didn't you call me when you went to catch voles yesterday?" ”
"Do you dare to catch it?"
"Of course I dare." Lu Qiaohong said with a slightly upturned chest.
"Then I'll call you when I catch voles in the future."
"Yes." After getting Cai Hongming's repeated assurances, Lu Qiaohong turned back to talk to the two girls. I don't know what she said, the two girls repeatedly looked at Cai Hongming.
When they arrived at the island, a few middle-aged anglers found a place to sit down, and then began to sprinkle fish feed, load bait, and hook fishing. When they came to fish, they all paid money to Lu Qitian, at least one hundred. If you want to buy something, you need to calculate the money separately. If the business is good, Lu Qitian will come here to fish better than him in the seafood business.
Unfortunately, this side is located in the triangle of the estuary, and if there is a slight wind, the sea will be rough, so you can only fish from winter to early spring, and as for the typhoon-prone season in summer and autumn, you don't have to think about it at all.
After Lu Qitian sent a few live shrimp to a few anglers, he also took a fishing rod to fish.
Lu Qiaohong and the other girls walked around the island, walking and talking while collecting shells. Cai Hongsheng wanted to come over, but unfortunately people ignored him. After walking around the island, he felt bored, so he took a fishing rod and fished next to Lu Qitian.
After Cai Hongming took his friends to take a look on the island, he also took a fishing rod to catch a fish.
When he turned around just now, he found that there was a small mangrove forest on the side of the island, and there were some red wolf-toothed gobies and red cockroaches inhabiting the mangrove tidal flats.
The red wolf-toothed goby, commonly known as red bright fish, hemp head, red nai, thin strip, red nine, red nose strip, nai fish, red red body, no meat, looks quite skinny. But if you cook it with soy sauce and garlic celery, the taste is really delicious. It's a bit like the taste of eel boiled in soy sauce water, but not as much meat and delicious. This thing can live in both fresh water and seawater, and is rare in the hinterland, so much so that some people in the hinterland have called it a monster, and it has been reported in the newspapers a few times.
In fact, this thing is very common in the coastal zone, but those people are rare and strange.
Cai Hongming held a fishing rod, sat on a folding chair and prepared to fish, when he suddenly saw people next to him, thinking about how it was possible to catch so many fish. So, he raised his fishing rod and carried the folding chair into the distance.
He calculated very well, but unfortunately all the fish under the water were attracted by the bait cast by a few anglers, and he didn't catch a single fish after fishing for a long time, but a few anglers and Lu Qitian they had more or less a harvest. Especially his younger brother Cai Hongsheng, who he always thought was lazy and useless, even caught a big yellow sea bream weighing three or four pounds. His uncle didn't know if he had bumped into the nest of the girl, but he caught a bunch of fish, all of which were more than half a catty. Cai Zhengxian also has a lot of gains, only he is empty.
Cai Hongming looked at it and thought to himself, is it not good to fish bait?
So, he went to a few other anglers and rubbed some bait back. But after changing a few types, I still couldn't catch a fish.
Now he has an idea, and he wants to move the nest, but he has already moved it just now, and it won't be made to be seen by people if he moves it again? That's not going to work. After thinking about it, he felt that it should still be a problem with bait, these were originally attractive baits over there, but it was estimated that he would not be accustomed to the soil and water on his side, and he had to change the variety.
Suddenly, he remembered the green lingzhi planted in the heavenly blessed land in the cave of the jade ding, which had always been known as the elixir of immortality and was sought after.
Everyone can eat it, and fish should like it too. Therefore, he took out a small green lingzhi from the cave in the jade ding, and hooked it on the hook to fish.
Changed the bait, and the effect was really different. After only a while, Cai Hongming found that the buoy on the water surface had moved, and it was a big movement. Suddenly, the buoy sank sharply, and he quickly pulled up the fishing rod. Unexpectedly, the fishing rod was bent and did not catch the hooked fish, but he was dragged forward by the fish and fell into the water.
He couldn't see it well, and quickly got up from the water. However, he did not dare to pull the rod too hard, for fear of tearing the fishing line and letting the big fish run away. He quickly loosened the line, then walked left and right, and slowly slipped the fish up. Seeing that he caught a big fish, the people next to him ran over to see, and Cai Hongsheng even took the net and prepared to catch the fish.
Cai Hongming rolled his eyes, can he pull him into the water, can he catch it with that big butt net?
Slipping and slipping, the fish in the water were struggling and gradually ceased to struggle.
Cai Hongming asked Cai Zhengxian to hold the fishing rod, and he jumped into the water, trying to pick up the big fish that had slipped away. When he got down, he found that he had caught not a big fish at all, but a manta ray more than two meters long. Seeing the manta ray, Cai Hongming was a little disliched, but he still caught it.
This manta ray is a little different from what you usually see, the whole is pink, and the cute eyes blink and blink, like the girl next door, which makes people can't bear to start.
The pink manta ray was carried ashore by Cai Hongming, and when he saw the crowd around him, he was so panicked that he screamed "whine, whin", how pitiful he looked. Seeing it, Cai Hongming didn't know what to do with it.
Manta rays, also known as blanket rays and manta rays, are ovoviviparous. The small manta ray weighs 20 kilograms and is about one meter long, and people who don't know about this fish think it's a big fish at first sight. Actually, it's just a newborn baby. And the two-meter-old manta ray in front of him is just a child at best. It is said that the largest manta rays can grow up to nine meters, but the most common ones are only six or seven meters nowadays.
Cai Hongming has eaten this kind of fish, the taste is not very good, and it is not well handled, and there is a smell of urine, which makes it difficult to swallow.
"Hey, what is this?" Lu Qiaohong and the other three girls came back after a turn, and saw manta rays, and asked strangely, none of them had ever seen this kind of thing.
"It's a manta ray, also known as a manta ray." Cai Hongming said.
Lu Qiaohong nodded and continued to look at the manta ray.
The pink manta ray saw someone looking at it, and there was a pitiful "whoo, whoosh" cry. Lu Qiaohong and a few other girls looked at the pink manta ray, and they felt really cute. At this time, the pink manta ray was still biting the fish hook in its mouth, and the fish hook was hooked in its mouth, and the pain of the puncture made it wriggle around, driving the wound, and immediately bleeding again, looking very pitiful.
Several girls saw it, and their sympathy overflowed, and they asked Cai Hongming to release it.
It was useless for Cai Hongming to ask for this thing, so he put it away.
When sending it into the water, seeing that it was so pitiful, he secretly took out a little water jade toad liquid from the cave heaven blessed land of Yuding and gave it to drink. After drinking it, it was pushed into the sea.
As soon as the pink manta ray entered the water, it immediately swam around with joy.
