Chapter 128: Casting a net is a technical job
Thinking that they would have to stay for a long time in Xishan, Tang Wanwan brought the tools to catch fish. Tang Wanwan only knew that people called it the Ecstasy Array, and when she went outside to practice before, she saw that the local people had used this kind of net for catching fish, and it was very easy to use. You only need to put some bait or earthworms in the fishing net, or eat the remaining fish bones, pig bones, etc., put them in the net, and sprinkle them directly into the water. This kind of net has a great feature, the import is indented. Only in and out, which means that you can go in and eat the bait smoothly, but if you want to come out, don't think about it.
Unless the fish has sharp enough teeth to bite through the net, you should never want to get out. Only by untying the rope at the tail of the net can the net be completely opened. Then shake the whole net, those greedy fish, shrimp. What yellow eels, frogs, loaches, there will be many varieties of fish and shrimp to surprise you.
I don't know if this lake in Xishan will bring a surprise to me, Tang Wanwan took Tang Xiaoyi, Tang Wei stayed at home to read, he went out this morning, and he didn't want to go out again in the afternoon. It's still relatively empty, and I'm tired when I move.
Mrs. Chen brought a big bag according to her daughter's instructions, as well as bamboo baskets and the like, to hold things.
"Little Idea, do you want to see how my sister catches fish?"
"Think, is my sister still using that plug? Can I learn this? Tang Xiaoyi imagined in his mind that everyone was sticking a fish in the water, but he felt that the action was good-looking, and it was too difficult.
"No, No, let's use a fishing net today."
"Sister will teach you how to use it." Of course, the fishing net was made by the skillful Chen Niangzi, Tang Wanwan told her what she wanted, and Chen Niangzi took a day or two to make it. The iron ring inside and the bamboo stake for the Ecstasy Array were made by Tang Wanwan herself.
Several square hoops are placed in the net to fix the shape of the net. Otherwise, if you throw it in the water, the nets will be piled up there, and the fish will not be able to see the bait in the nets and attract the fish to the bait. If this kind of net is placed in a place where there are many fish, it will be able to get a lot of fish in a while.
However, you have to choose a place for the net, not a place where the water is shallow and the water is crystal clear. There are no aquatic plants, the water is too clean, and the fish are reluctant to swim unless they are too hungry to find anything. Lower the net to a location near the middle of the lake, where there are aquatic weeds and the water is slightly cloudy, and then nail the bamboo stakes into the water. Prevent big fish from running away from the nets.
And when there is a flow of living water, it is also necessary to set the pile, otherwise the fishing nets will also be washed away. Sometimes the water moves underground, and the nets move with it. When you set the pile, you can touch it directly near the place where you put down the pile when you take the fishing net, and you will be able to touch it.
In addition, if you put your fishing net down to shallow water, you will be taken away if you are not careful. These seemingly simple truths are only known to experienced people, otherwise a small white casts a net on the shallow water, and the money from the fishing net alone is not enough to compensate. These tips were told to Tang Wanwan by those fishermen, but I didn't expect it to come in handy, and if there is any fish to eat at night, it depends on it.
Tang Wanwan told Tang Xiaoyi about the above precautions, and the little guy nodded while secretly remembering in his heart, seeing how his sister got the net, how to get the bait, and how to prevent theft and other precautions.
For the bait, Tang Wanwan used some leftover bones from the noon meal, put them in three places in the net, "brushed" the fishing net, scattered them into the lake, and set the bamboo stake under a big stone in the shallow water. In short, it should not be too conspicuous, otherwise it is easy to lose. And when you go to the net, you have to see if there is anyone peeking nearby, many people in the countryside like to have unclean hands and feet, and what you have in his hands is his. If you want to come back, hehe, unless you're a scoundrel than others.
Ordinary people can't pull the bottom of the face, forget it. The matter is also over, but will indulge those who are greedy for cheap.
"Sister, let me try?" When her sister said this, Tang Xiaoyi suddenly felt a little itchy in her heart, and she wanted to try it herself.
"Yes. You try, attention and distance ha. ”
"Hmm." Tang Xiaoyi nodded vigorously, he was too small to roll up his pants and go to the water to get into the net. After casting the net several times but not casting it, he put the net into the water, pulled the line, and dragged it forward for a while, before he ran back and pressed the bamboo stake directly into the water. After the incident, the little guy even knew to pull some aquatic weeds from somewhere else.
That cautious appearance amused Tang Wanwan, it was really teachable.
"It's okay, Xiaoyi, let's go to my mother's place. When we get back, pull out the nets and see how much we catch. ”
"Well, let's go." Since Tang Xiaoyi knew that the fishing nets would be stolen by someone, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and while walking, he kept looking back into the water. "Sister, it should be okay for us to leave now."
Tang Wanwan looked at her younger brother and said with a smile: "It's okay, no one usually comes here in Xishan." Now she bought it again, and she also set up a sign at the entrance that acquaintances would not break in. When he got rich, Tang Wanwan was going to make an iron net outside Xishan to completely surround this place. In this way, it is completely her and her family's private domain.
"Then I'll be relieved." When Tang Xiaoyi turned his head, he twisted his neck by the way, presumably he kept turning his head just now, and his neck turned sore, which was really stupid and cute.
Since Mrs. Chen knew that these camellia fruits could be squeezed for oil, she was very energetic in picking them up, and when Tang Wanwan and her sisters and brothers came, Mrs. Chen had already picked up more than a catty. The soil here is fertile, the lighting is good, there is no pollution and insect pests, it belongs to natural growth, and the camellia fruit here grows very large. When the oil was squeezed, Tang Wanwan was already very satisfied with the oil yield.
"Mother!"
"You're good offline, there's a lot of here, let's pick it up together." Mrs. Chen was busy taking care of them, and they went over to pick them up together.
"Okay, here we go!" Tang Wanwan took Tang Xiaoyi and started the game alone.
Seeing that her sister picked it up quickly, Tang Xiaoyi didn't show weakness, the three of them spent about an hour, and they picked up more than 20 catties, Tang Wanwan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to carry it when she went back, so she didn't pick it up. organized them to go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots again.
Digging and digging, only to hear someone calling her in the distance.
Sister Wanwan, Sister Wan's cry, listening to it was very anxious, Tang Wanwan said in her heart, who is this?
Mrs. Chen also heard it, so she stopped digging bamboo shoots in her hand and asked her daughter: "Ah Juan, is someone calling you?" ”
"I don't know, I'll see." It sounds like who it is, but Tang Wanwan thinks it's unlikely to be her, because their relationship has broken down, how could she still run to Xishan to find her.
