Chapter 755: The Interest of Being a Fisherman
Qin Shi Huang chased after him along the stream, and Chen Xu had to hurry up.
The two chased forward along the stone cracks of the stream one after the other, and found that the stream was full of peach blossom fish that were fleeing and swimming, a lot of them but flexible in action, coupled with the turbulence of the stream and the obstruction of various stones, the two of them caught in the middle of the water, making their heads and faces full of water, and their clothes were soaked for most of the time, but they didn't catch a single fish.
"Your Majesty, the current here is too fast to catch, the minister has a fishing net, if you can find a larger stone pool in front, you will definitely catch it with a fishing net!" Chen Xu wiped the water on his face with his wet sleeves and said with a wry smile.
"Aiqing is right!" Qin Shi Huang also wiped the water on his face with regret on his face, and ordered the two Xuanwu guards to go ahead to explore the way and see if they could find a larger pool.
The two Xuanwu guards took the order, and Chen Xu and Qin Shi Huang climbed ashore to rest their feet for a while, so that their frozen and stiff feet could be relieved.
More than ten minutes later, the two Xuanwu guards went and returned.
"Your Majesty, there is a pool more than fifty zhang ahead, and there are a lot of fish and shrimp in it!"
"Haha, good!" Qin Shi Huang stood up excitedly.
The two of them stepped on the high and low stones on the shore and walked inside, and soon saw the stone pool.
On both sides are large boulders, a waterfall more than a foot high roars down continuously, forming a waterhole with a radius of seven or eight zhang under a boulder, the deepest part of the pool is six or seven feet, and the water quality is still crystal clear.
In the waterhole, schools of colorful fish swim around, dazzling those who watch.
Seeing this situation, not only Qin Shi Huang was happy, but Chen Xu was also excited.
Nima had so many fish that he would surely be able to eat a full meal by catching a few nets, so he hurriedly ordered a guard who followed him to hurry up and fetch the nets.
At this time, Meng Yun and Su Juan also came to the waterhole, standing on a few big rocks together, pointing at the fish in the waterhole and discussing excitedly, and from time to time they also secretly glanced at Qin Shi Huang with a straw hat.
Qin Shi Huang probably sensed the movements of this group of gentlemen, and slightly lifted his straw hat and glared.
"Holy!"
Seeing this face, a group of gentlemen's minds went blank for a moment, and one of them screamed, and fell into the waterhole with a slippery pop, and the fish in the waterhole instantly scattered and fled, all hiding in the surrounding stone crevices.
Chen Xu couldn't laugh or cry at the emperor's pranks.
I didn't expect that the dignified emperor would have such a hobby.
Fortunately, the waterhole was not deep, and the man who fell into the waterhole choked a few mouthfuls of water and was pulled up by his hands and feet, and he was wet and lying on a big stone and kept spitting water, his face was pale and frozen.
"Whoever of you goes down and catches a fish, I will reward you with the first rank!"
There is only a group of gentlemen and more than a dozen Xuanwu guards here, and the emperor also knows that sneaking out of the palace to catch fish today will eventually be discovered by these gentlemen, and at this time he no longer conceals his identity, pointing to the waterhole and said lightly.
"Really?!" A group of gentlemen instantly came to the spirit.
They had speculated about Qin Shi Huang's identity at first, but they were not sure, and when they knew that it was only a brief period of confusion, they became excited.
The emperor personally rewarded the knight, and it would definitely be a thing worth bragging about when this matter got out.
Although they are the most high-end group of gentlemen in Xianyang City and even the entire Great Qin, they are gentlemen after all, and they may be able to see the emperor on weekdays, but none of them can be rewarded in person, and Dad will be impressed when he knows it.
Eating, drinking, and having fun can also be rewarded, which is simply the most comfortable and proud thing in the world.
"I'll go first!" The guy who was lying on the big stone and played the swing jumped up vigorously, took off his wet clothes and threw them on the stone after three times and five divided by two, and then jumped into the pool with a plop, and after observing around, he held his breath and dived into the bottom of the water, like a big frog quickly drilled into the crack of the stone and touched around, and the fish in the whole waterhole suddenly scurried around, many jumped up along the waterfall, and some fled downstream along the stream.
"Hurry! Plug the gap! ”
A group of people who were about to move suddenly became excited, and they stood at several exits of the waterhole and began to grab them in a hurry.
"Haha! Caught one! ”
Half a minute later, a gentleman laughed excitedly, and sure enough, he caught a colorful multicolored fish in his hand.
But before the guy could finish smirking, the fish in his hand struggled a few times, jumped out, fell into the water, and soon disappeared.
Ga! Looking at the few thin scales on his empty hands, this gentleman's face instantly drooped and was extremely depressed.
And the man who jumped into the pool tossed in it several times, and in less than five minutes, he got up with a pale face from the cold, squatted on a big rock, his lips were bruised, and he stammered: "Water...... Too...... It's too cold, grab ...... Can't catch it! ”
"I'll go down and try!" Another gentleman stood up, took off his clothes and jumped down, tossing and fumbling back and forth in it for a few minutes, but he still couldn't stand it and couldn't stand it.
The remaining few gentlemen also looked at each other and didn't dare to go down.
The bounty is good, but it is too difficult to get based on the two cases.
"Master Hou, the fishing net is coming" Just when it was about to cool down, the guard went and returned, holding a fishing net in his hand.
This fishing net is similar to the fishing net of later generations, it was made by Chen Xu to an old fisherman who was proficient in weaving nets in the fiefdom with fine twine, and the fishing net was soaked in tung oil several times, and the water permeability was very good and strong, and the net foot fell with a circle of lead blocks, which were hung into the style of a small net pocket, so as not to let the fish run out when the net was collected.
At this time, although the fish in the waterhole have dispersed a lot, there are still many of them, Chen Xu took the fishing net, tied the net rope to the wrist of his right hand first, and then tidied up the net, hung it on his elbow on one side, and grasped half of it with his left and right hands, and then ordered a group of people to throw stones into the stone cracks in the waterhole.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, most of the rural men will be able to cast nets for this way of fishing, although Chen Xu's hometown is a mountainous area and the traffic is blocked, but it is also a place with mountains and water, and he especially loved to catch fish when he was a child, and he naturally learned to cast a net in the net, even after going to college to work, he still has to go to the river to cast a net to catch fish when he returns to his hometown every year, so this skill is quite proficient, at least in front of the emperor and this group of gentlemen, you can still show off in front of the emperor and this Meng Yun.
A circle of people, including the Emperor, began to throw stones into the cracks in the waterhole, and with the sound of fluttering and splashing, the schools of fish hiding under the cracks and waterfalls instantly panicked in the pool.
After Chen Xu was ready, he took the opportunity to swing his arm and cast the fishing net.
The fishing net spread out in the air into an irregular circular hula and fell into the water, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the water under the drive of the lead block, and then you can clearly see that several fish are netted in it, and from time to time turn up a few colored scales in the escape.
"Haha, it's netted!"
A group of gentlemen suddenly clapped their hands excitedly and shouted, and Qin Shi Huang's eyes also showed a glint of surprise.
Chen Xu slowly pulled the net rope and began to reel in the net, and as the fishing net tightened more and more, everyone saw more and more clearly that seven or eight fish were wrapped in the fishing net and slowly pulled up.
Half a minute later, as Chen Xu lifted the fishing net completely out of the water with a loud noise, seven or eight fine-scale fish of different sizes with colored spots were dragged ashore.
A group of gentlemen swarmed up, turned over the nets, took a few fish out of the nets, and put them on their own straw ropes to hang the fish.
Chen Xu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to order to continue throwing stones, and then cast the net again.
Soon a few nets went down, each time the catch was not the same, less than three or five, the most one net actually fished up more than 20, after shaking off, the fish were jumping all over the ground, it looked very pleasing to the eye.
Meng Yun and a few squirrels looked at the fishing net, and Chen Xu untied the net rope in his hand...... Hand it to Qin Shi Huang, "Your Majesty, do you want to try casting nets to catch fish?" ”
"Okay, I'll be a fisherman!"
Qin Shi Huang seemed to be eager to try, excitedly took the net rope, tied it to his wrist, and then under Chen Xu's guidance, the fishing net was ready step by step, and a group of gentlemen also knew that the emperor would definitely not be able to take his turn before he enjoyed it, so he began to throw stones together to help the emperor catch fish.
"Whoa!" After hesitating for a long time, Qin Shi Huang finally followed Chen Xu's example and cast the fishing net, but the result was a little miserable, the fishing net basically did not fall apart, and it was entangled in a very strange shape and fell into the water.
A group of gentlemen collectively shook their faces.
The emperor's face also shook, and then he quickly put away the fishing net with a calm face, and the ending was obvious, the fishing net was not scattered, and naturally it was impossible to catch the fish.
And Chen Xu was mentally prepared for the emperor's first net, standing next to him and saying with a smile: "Your Majesty must let go when you shake the fishing net, the body and arms are coordinated and the mind is one, and the strength must be just right......
In the next ten minutes, under Chen Xu's repeated guidance, Qin Shi Huang finally gradually explored the methods and skills after casting several nets in a row, and the area of the fishing nets spread out became larger and larger.
"Hula" fell into the water with Qin Shi Huang's fishing net, and it was obvious that there were fish scales flashing in it, and there were already fish caught in the net.
"The net is caught in the net, Your Majesty has caught the fish!"
A group of gentlemen instantly pointed to the waterhole and shouted, Qin Shihuang finally showed a relieved smile on his face, and Chen Xu also secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Nima, it's not easy, if the emperor can't catch fish after a few more nets, he doesn't know how to explain it.
Qin Shi Huang put away the fishing net, and there were three five-colored fish in it.
Looking at the harvest that he had worked hard for a long time, Qin Shi Huang seemed to be more interested, and cast a few nets one after another, catching a total of more than ten fish, but at this time, almost all the fish in the waterhole had escaped.
"Your Majesty, the fish have escaped here, and you are also soaked, so it is better to go out early and change into dry clothes, so as not to suffer the cold!" Chen Xu persuaded,
But Qin Shi Huang didn't care, but was still patrolling the waterhole with a fishing net hanging on his arm full of interest, obviously full of a different kind of interest in being a fisherman.
Chen Xu smiled bitterly, so he had to let the few guards who followed Bai Zhen continue to search for the mountain stream to see if they could find a pool where fish gathered.
Qin Shi Huang cast a few more nets, but almost all of them were empty nets, only a small fish less than four inches long was netted, even if a group of gentlemen threw stones hard, they could hardly see the fish appear, so Qin Shi Huang could only sit down and rest regrettably, by the way looked at a large list of the fruits of his labor, and also put the fish he netted and Chen Xu's fish together to compare the size, and finally found that he had one of the largest, and immediately grinned for a long time.
