Excerpt from the Tide Hunting Order
It is said that my grandfather (grandfather's father) burned green bricks and bought fields back then, and created a good family business with the strength of one person, and then married Bai Fumei of the village chief's family, and since then he has been at the peak of his life.
However, after his daughter-in-law tricked him into the door, the old grandfather had a habit of having a seizure, and he carried a fishing rod all day long to indulge in the landscape and ignore the family business.
Even, the old man also did one after another such failed actions as 'buying back a bunch of worthless jujube saplings with a piece of ocean'.
In the eyes of the villagers, even if the old man is not a stupid loser, he definitely does not look like a master who can make money.
Therefore, everyone is curious about how my grandfather bought a large field from scratch.
One day at noon, the weather was very gloomy, and it was estimated that even if it didn't rain in the afternoon, it would rain in the evening.
At that time, no one dared to get involved in the rain, and if he fell ill because of this, the whole family had to drink the northwest wind together.
Seeing that the sky was not good, people threw away their work and hurried home.
At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw my grandfather standing alone on the edge of the Haihe ditch, and his right hand was still swinging up and down from time to time, as if he was greeting someone in the distance.
But the problem is that my grandfather is standing against the surface of the trench, and there is still water in front of him!
Some well-wishers were afraid that my grandfather would be confused by some monster, so they hurriedly ran over to remind him.
Initial website: m.
As a result, the man shouted a few times in a row, but the old man didn't respond, just stunned and stared at the water in front of him in a daze.
The mouth was still open and closed, as if whispering something.
At that time, the kind man's heart sank: "It's broken, this must have washed up something unclean."
However, just as he turned around to greet his acquaintances and was about to rush up to save people together, the old man suddenly splashed on the water in front of him, and countless fish heads suddenly burst out of the water!
As far as the eye can see, the surface of the water is full of dense fish heads, and there are white flowers everywhere.
What's even more weird is that all the fish's mouths are opening and closing, as if they are talking to my grandfather again.
This scene calmed everyone down at once.
It's as if this kind of 'mermaid dialogue with each other' has a magical power, which makes everyone's eyes focus on the old man and him, and it is difficult to even turn his head.
However, my old grandfather was unaware of this, and saw him reach out and pick up a large net tied with a long bamboo pole from under his feet, and the dragonfly was as fast as a few times on the water.
The old man dragged the fish in his net pocket ashore, turned over the net and buckled it into a sack untied from his waist, put the sack on his back with his backhand, picked up the net, turned his head and walked towards the crowd.
As he passed by the crowd, he was heard repeating 'enough', 'no more', 'if you get really angry', and so on.
When the old man had gone far away, these people came back to their senses, and quickly turned their heads to see where the old man had been standing before.
Since then, my grandfather has become more and more mysterious in the eyes of the villagers.
People in the village have said that my grandfather was standing on the edge of the ditch and waving, greeting the dragon god in the river.
And the whispered words in his mouth were spells that drove the fish and shrimp to the surface for him to catch.
After that, those "enough", "can't have more", "if you are really angry, it will be terrible", and so on, are also telling yourself not to be too greedy, so as not to catch too many aquariums in the river, and for this reason, the dragon god is angered again.
If a person has the help of gods, then it is understandable how rich he is, and the people in the village think that my grandfather is a man with spells, and he has a relationship with the dragon god in the Haihe ditch.
Even the mantra on how to catch fish handed down by the old man is also known as the "Tide Summoning Order", which means that it can summon the decree that drives the tide!
In this regard, my grandfather said that this mantra was summarized by himself anyway, and there was no name in the first place, and you can call it whatever you like, as long as you are happy.
This is the origin of the name of the Zhangjia fishing formula "Tide Order".
But within our family, there is another version of the story of "Greetering Order".
The reason why there were a large number of sea fish in the Haihe ditch at that time for him to catch with a net was the weather at that time.
The description of the lead clouds hanging low and dense clouds without rain in the story indicates that the atmospheric pressure is lower than usual at this time, which will cause a large amount of dissolved oxygen in the river water to escape into the air, causing the oxygen content of the river water to drop rapidly.
At this time, the fish in the water will experience varying degrees of hypoxia and poke their heads out of the water from time to time to breathe.
This phenomenon is commonly known as 'pit turning' and often occurs on the eve of heavy rainstorms.
According to my grandfather, in addition to choosing a good time to pick fish, my grandfather also did two extremely important tasks to pave the way.
First of all, the old man collected a lot of broken bricks burned by the brick factory on weekdays, and then took advantage of the low tide water level to push the broken bricks in the sack with a small cart and threw them into a certain section of the ditch.
Although there is nothing unusual on the surface of the river, the bottom of the river has become uneven.
When the tide is high, the rising sea water will pour back into the sea ditch.
At this time, where the old man threw down the brick bag, the backflow of the river will swirl, so as to roll up the sediment at the bottom of the river and stick to the gills of the fish, making the lack of oxygen more obvious to the fish, prompting it to further float up the pit.
The second is that when the old man was fishing before, he found a large school of barracuda inhabiting this sea river ditch near our hometown.
This fish is a migratory fish that feeds on organic matter in the soil at the bottom of the water, and its scientific name is black mullet, which usually lives near the mouth of the sea and will flood into the sea ditch in large groups at high tide.
The bricks thrown by the old man into the bottom of the river will cause the river to swirl and roll up a large amount of organic matter at the bottom of the water, which will naturally attract a large number of mullets to come and feed.
In addition, the old man had sprinkled bait to feed the nest before he copied the fish with his net, and his right hand that he kept waving in the distance was sprinkling the bait - 'lard residue wrapped in flour'.
In that era when ordinary people were reluctant to put more oil in cooking, only a gentleman like the old man could do this kind of thing by feeding the nest with lard.
Therefore, the attraction of the mullet is simply outrageous, and it easily attracts a large number of fish to gather on the surface of the water in front of him.
As soon as the number of these fish is large, the dissolved oxygen in the water is naturally not enough, and it will not be long before those black mullets will definitely float to the surface to breathe.
But this fish is not a fool, the same kind of people were caught by the net, and the rest ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.
When the villagers came back to their senses and looked at the water, of course they couldn't even see the scales.
……
After my grandfather heard the legend of "Greeting Order" from the villagers, he once ran to ask the old grandfather what he could read at that time.
Guess what he got in response?
"Oops, the wind by the river is so cool, why did you forget to wear pants when you came out today! Oops, it's cold, it's cold, I have to ask your mother to warm up the kettle wine when I go home......"
Even the old man's last words of 'enough' and 'no more' are not to warn himself not to be greedy.
I estimate that the old man is counting the anger of the old man.
You must know that my grandmother is a good housewife who is diligent and thrifty, and the last thing she can see in her life is to waste things.
According to the grandfather, the barracuda that grandfather brought back that time was half a sack.
When the old grandmother finished her work in the back kitchen, she found that all the containers that could put fish in the house were full of fried fish, so she carried the basket to deliver it from door to door in the evening.
If the old man had copied more nets at that time, there would definitely be fish that could not be eaten and wasted.
In such a plain and bad way of trampling food, the old grandmother's anger tank is definitely full at once, and it is very likely that she will use her big move skills to give the old man a 'grounding order'.
If the old man wants to go out fishing and play again, he will have a headache.
