If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

If you want to fish with the knock bang, you must first have the so-called bangzi.

This is difficult for Chen Zheng, who is a carpenter, and he has already seen the design of the bangzi, which is very simple.

Finding a piece of oak wood about a foot in diameter, Chen Zheng sawed it vertically, then hollowed out the center and tied it tightly with a rope.

In this way, a stick is ready.

The length of the pole, which was longer than the width of the wooden boat, was laid across the two thin wooden posts that had been made in front of the bow.

The thin wooden pillars go all the way from the boat to the sea, and are used to transmit the sound waves emitted by the bangs.

Everything is ready, and the first large-scale fishing activity in Dongyang County officially kicked off.

Six wooden sea boats, one in front and five in close behind, headed for the depths of the sea.

Chen Zheng, Li Shuang, and Xusheng stood on the wooden boat, driven by Xusheng himself.

The other five wooden boats are also equipped with experienced fishermen recruited from the village of Laojiaogou.

After sailing at sea for about half an hour, Chen Zheng raised his hand and signaled, and the six wooden boats stopped.

Chen Zheng took the "autumn basket" that had been compared earlier, grabbed the rope with one hand, and threw the autumn basket into the sea with the other hand to determine the direction of the current.

Looking at the direction of the autumn basket in the sea, Chen Zheng concluded that the current here is from north to south.

So Chen Zheng ordered the fishermen on the boat to give a signal, and their wooden boats were heading north, while the sub-boats were heading south.

When the sub-boat reaches the designated position, the fishing nets hanging on the boat are thrown into the sea, and the nets of the five boats are linked to each other, leaving no gaps.

Chen Zheng saw the distribution of sub-boats on the opposite side, and couldn't help sighing, there were still too few boats, even if the fish were driven over, most of them could still slip away from the side.

When the arrangement was almost done, Chen Zheng said to Li Shuang: "Brother Li, this important task has to be knocked on by the two of us!" ”

"It's you and me!" Li Shuang was also very interested.

The two came to the horizontal bangzi, Chen Zheng made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Brother Li, you come first!" ”

Li Shuang was very happy and said, "Then I'm not welcome." ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Li Shuang knocked three times on the bangzi, and through the conduction of the thin wooden pillar, it was obvious that there were ripples in the seawater.

"Brother Chen, it's your turn!" Li Shuang said.

Chen Zheng nodded, raised the gavel in his hand, and knocked it three times.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Then, the two of them hit at the same time, and the faster they knocked!

Bang Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang! Smack!

The sound of the knocking on the wooden boat became faster and faster, and the ripples in the sea water became denser and denser, rippling out in circles.

"Brother Chen, are you still alright? I couldn't hold on anymore. Li Shuang said.

The gavel had been knocked for a long time, and his arm began to be sore, and Li Shuang was a little bitter.

Chen Zheng glanced at Li Shuang and said, "Brother Li, now is a critical moment, we must not be discouraged, we must hold on!" ”

Listening to Chen Zheng's encouragement, Li Shuang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and did not relax, and continued to knock on the bangzi.

Finally, the surface of the sea seemed to react, and the surface of the sea suddenly surged.

"Brother Chen, look!" Li Shuang shouted, but he didn't dare to stop.

At this time, Li Shuang's arm was already numb, and he didn't feel soreness at all.

Chen Zheng looked at the sea and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see a school of fish, gathering on the surface of the sea, and the scene was like dumplings.

"Xusheng, sail!" Chen Zheng shouted to the back.

Xu Sheng gave the order and hurriedly sailed to the south, so that with the movement of the boat, the fish in the sea were rushed to the fishing nets that had been arranged to the south.

Chen Zheng looked up at the distance and ordered the boatman to give a signal to the five wooden boats opposite.

After getting the signal, the five boats also began to act, and the encirclement slowly tightened, gradually gathering into a circle chair shape.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the sea surface is already boiling as if it is full of fish beating.

Among them, the most is the big yellow croaker with golden shining all over the body, which is like glowing gold under the sunlight.

At this time, the fishing nets are under the impact of the current, forming net bags, and a large number of fish rush into them.

Chen Zheng estimated that it was almost over, and gave an order: "Start the net!" ”

The shipwrights began to twist the ropes, and through a set of pulley devices, the nets were gradually pulled up from the water.

"Why is it so heavy? Guys, keep it up! ”

"How many fish are in the net, hurry up, it's going to be loose!"

Chen Zheng didn't expect that this first time he went to sea, he would be able to have such a harvest.

Previously, Chen Zheng considered that there were too many fish and too heavy, so he added a pulley device to each wooden boat, the purpose of which was to save some effort.

However, he still underestimated the amount of the harvest, and if it weren't for the large number of fishermen and boatmen who had been recruited, he might not have been able to pull up the fish he caught.

No wonder, in Chen Zheng's world, this method of knocking on fishing is banned.

This method is simply a dead end for the fish!

Seeing the fish that was pulled up, even the most experienced fishermen were stunned.

No one has ever seen so many fish caught at once!

When they came to their senses, everyone screamed with excitement and laughed from ear to ear.

Li Shuang was also stunned, and he was still knocking on the bangzi.

Chen Zheng patted him and pulled him back to reality, Li Shuang felt his arms numb, his legs were sore, and he sat directly on the ground, looking sluggish.

"Let's load the cabin!" Chen Zheng shouted again.

Everyone listened to the order, picked up the boat's pockets, and loaded all the big fish in the net into the cabin.

Return!

Five wooden boats moved out of the way, and Chen Zheng's mother ship passed through it and headed for the port of Jiuqu Bay.

At this time, everyone's eyes were different when they looked at Chen Zheng, and no one expected that a carpenter would know how to fish.

"How does Master Chen know so much? Is he the reincarnation of the Dragon King? ”

"Isn't your little flower out of the cabinet? As? ”

"Eh, it's not worthy of Master Chen. When I get back, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to ask? ”

Li Shuang, who was still sitting on the splint, seemed to have regained some strength, and after struggling twice, he shouted to Chen Zheng: "Brother Chen, I am weak and weak now, you can help me." ”

Chen Zheng helped Li Shuang up and said with a smile: "Brother Li has made great efforts this time, and he has made great contributions. ”

Li Shuang likes to listen to kind words, and he suddenly felt a lot lighter, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen praised it falsely, and I just snapped a few times, haha." ”

Li Shuang's words made Chen Zheng feel a little awkward, so he simply ignored him.

This time he went to sea to fish, Chen Zheng roughly calculated, and caught about five or six thousand catties.

This number is already huge for fishermen, but Chen Zheng feels that it is not enough.

Dongyang County has a population of tens of thousands, and five or six thousand catties of fish are simply not enough.

Fortunately, it is not yet the moment of urgency, and Chen Zheng still has time to build a bigger fishing boat and catch more fish!
