How laborious it is to weave a fishing net from scratch, others don't know, anyway, Su Yan himself has experienced it, just the first step to weave a suitable straw rope made Su Yan spend a lot of effort, during this period Su Yan even had the idea of giving up weaving fishing nets and using hooks to fish.

The earliest fish hooks used by humans were called "fish cards", which were not made of metals such as copper and iron, but were made of pieces of bone or branches.

When the fish swallows the bait, the angler pulls the line to get the bone or branch stuck in the stomach of the fish, and the fish cannot escape.

After that, the hook slowly evolved to take on the shape of what modern people see.

However, the idea of switching to fishing with a fishing hook only flashed in Su Yan's mind and was given up by Su Yan, and it is necessary to have perseverance and perseverance to do things, if you give up because it is more difficult to complete this matter, you will not have much achievement in this life, not to mention that weaving fishing nets is not a difficult thing, but it is very boring.

The young body holds the soul of an adult and will not give up because of such a boring thing.

Is weaving fishing nets as boring and difficult as learning Chinese medicine?

Su Yan looked for suitable hay from the haystack where the people in the cave were sleeping, and sat somewhere in the open space outside the cave with the hay in his arms, basking in the sun while patiently weaving straw ropes.

The straw rope to be used to weave the fishing net should not be too thick, but it should not be too thin, and grasping both ends of the straw rope with both hands should at least withstand Su Yan's seven-point strength and continue, which is the appropriate straw rope.

For the weaving of the straw rope is not too difficult, tie the three grasses together to form a thin rope by tying twist braids, and then use three such thin ropes to twist into a slightly thicker rope, which is what Su Yan needs.

Su Yan's fellow clans also weave a large number of straw ropes, which are used to weave straw shoes or tie things, many straw ropes are thicker than Su Yan's middle finger, and only a very small amount of straw rope thickness can be suitable, of course, how to get the straw rope from their hands is also a problem.

Su Yan quietly weaves straw ropes, Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters sometimes mess around, but most of the time they will stay by Su Yan's side, at first they will be curious to watch Su Yan weave straw ropes, and even try it themselves, but they will soon find that weaving straw ropes is not very interesting, and turn to other interesting things.

However, the adoptive mother would help Su Yan weave the straw rope in her short free time, which was much faster than Su Yan.

In about two days, Su Yan had accumulated a certain amount of straw rope in his hand, and it was time to weave fishing nets, but the fishing nets that Su Yan wanted to weave were not the fishing nets that people had the impression of throwing out like an umbrella with their hands, but the ground cage nets.

The ground cage net that Su Yan wanted to make was very simple, and the materials were only ropes and wooden sticks that were less than the thickness of Su Yan's wrist.

Su Yan asked her adoptive mother to break the wooden stick into several sections according to certain specifications, and then firmly tied a rectangular frame about 60 centimeters long, 30 centimeters high, and 35 centimeters wide with rope.

After that, Su Yan used a rope to weave a layer of net with rope on the five sides of this cuboid, the grid is not too big, at least most of the one-pound fish enter this simple ground cage net and cannot get out of the grid.

After some revisions, on the evening of the third day of Su Yan's planned fishing, only one space of ground cage nets was completed, and Su Yan would only call them fish cages.

In the case of the small river where the fish can be scooped out almost with a scoop, there is basically no problem that the fish cage cannot catch the fish, and the specific situation depends on the actual battle.

On the morning of the fourth day, Su Yan followed behind her adoptive mother with a fish cage that weighed no more than that and was about to go to the river together, and her adoptive mother turned around and took this thing from Su Yan's hand that she couldn't understand, and helped Su Yan take it.

When they came to the small river, the members of the fishing team spread out along the shore, ready to fish, and most of the children who came over were already playing, except for a few children watching the adults fish.

Su Yan picked up the fish cage that had been placed on the ground by his adoptive mother, walked not far from his adoptive mother, and under the gaze of his adoptive mother, Su Yan chose a similar place and gently put the fish cage into the water.

The fish cage touched the bottom, and the fish cage, which was only about 30 centimeters high, was completely submerged by the river, leaving only a rope tied to the opening with the thickness of a finger coming out of the river and being held by Su Yan, Su Yan stood quietly by the river and stared at the fish cage in the river.

Not long after the cage was released into the river, several small fish passed through the cage, and the relatively wide mesh on the cage could not stop the small fish.

More than a minute later, a fish that looked like it weighed a pound and a half crashed into the fish cage, and before the stupid fish could enter the fish cage to find a way out, Su Yan quickly pulled the rope in his hand, and the end of the fish cage opened quickly rose upward.

It's just that before the fish cage opens out of the water, the swimming fish in the fish cage flexibly drill out of the fish cage, and Su Yan's first fishing attempt failed.

However, Su Yan did not hang his head, he just failed once, and with the first attempt, Su Yan's grasp of fish cage fishing increased a lot.

Seeing that Su Yan next to her did not go into the water, her adoptive mother was relieved, she could see that Su Yan wanted to use that thing to fish.

Turning his head, he grabbed the "harpoon" with his right hand, and his eyes fell on the river, and his adoptive mother was waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Scold!

The "harpoon" went straight into the water and passed by a swimming fish.

The adoptive mother has a lot of fishing experience, but the swimming fish in the river are flexible and the fishing efficiency is very low.

Here, Su Yan also began to try for the second time.

In less than a minute, another swimming fish weighing more than a pound crashed into the fish cage, Su Yan quickly grabbed the rope, the opening side of the fish cage had already come out of the water, and the swimming fish in the fish cage escaped again.

The second attempt failed.

Fishing with a fish cage tests the speed of human reaction, to swim the fish into the fish cage when caught off guard, pull the end of the fish cage opening away from the water, the fish in the fish cage will become a turtle in the urn, and you can't escape if you want to.

The third failure.

Fourth failure.

For the fifth time, success!

Su Yan pulled the fish cage ashore, and a swimming fish weighing more than a pound struggled desperately in the fish cage, trying to pass through the mesh, but was stuck by the mesh, and its body was still fluttering.

The adoptive mother, who had put a lot of thought on Su Yan, glanced at it, noticed Su Yan's situation, stopped her movements in surprise, and came to Su Yan's side, and several adults and children around Su Yan and her adoptive mother also noticed the situation here, and walked over with curiosity or surprise.

They were surprised how a child like Su Yan could catch a fish with that strange thing, and the entire fishing team only had two catches now.
