Chapter 171: Let's Catch Fish
There are too many people fishing in the pond this time, and the fishing nets are dragged up, which is when the idlers catch fish.
There are nets, baskets, and fish covers.
The fish cover is a bamboo woven thing, a hug thick, about a little below the waist of a person, and is made of slender bamboo pieces.
It is round from the bottom to the top, and it is about to reach the upper mouth and suddenly closes and becomes smaller, and it is necessary to close the mouth with a cut bamboo piece, and it is important to receive the halo without piercing the hand.
Some people hold two fish covers in both hands, and when they see fish in the water, they cover them.
When the fish is covered in the middle, it can only be trapped in this square inch and cannot escape. Just put your hand in from the round mouth above and feel the fish inside.
Sometimes, when I encounter a cunning fish that goes back and forth, I put my hand in and stir the water vigorously. The water stirred and became turbid, and the fish was dizzy, so it was easy to catch.
Zhao Dashan brought two fish covers, went down the pond and walked quickly, and threw two or three fish up after a while.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu's heart, he also carried a net to catch fish, and only caught a kitten fish for a long time. Angry, he threw the net to the shore and snatched one of Zhao Dashan's fish covers, and the two of them covered the fish side by side in the water.
The net on the shore was quickly taken away by a boy in his teens and a half, and he ran down to fish happily.
There is not much water in the pond, and with the large number of people, the agitation is becoming more and more turbid. Just go down, regardless of adults and children, there are gains.
Brother Jing and Brother Hang were busy picking up fish, wiping their bodies and touching their faces with their little hands, and soon became two little cats. On his jacket, pants, face, and hands, there are traces of dirt stained by the sewage thrown out of the fish when picking up fish.
Little Tiger Boy and Little Ocean also ran over and followed Zhang Xiaohu to pick up fish. , the result is that two kittens of kittens become four kittens.
In the end, the four children tacitly reached a consensus, whether it was Zhang Xiaohu or Zhao Dashan's fish, whoever saw it first would hurry up and pick it up, anyway, they would all pile up together in the end.
It's slow to pick up, and there is a mother-in-law or child who takes advantage of the opportunity, and she reaches out to pick it up, and you can't ask someone for a fish.
The four children, who were running vigorously, suddenly heard the screams of the people below.
I saw that Zhao Dashan and Zhang Xiaohu had already thrown the fish cover, and opened their hands to stop something in the water.
A big fish went on a rampage, escaping from everyone's hands and legs.
The two men were unsteady on their feet, and they were knocked into the mud, causing everyone to laugh.
Seeing that the big fish is coming towards Zhao Dashan, the water here is deeper, and there are fewer people, seeing that the big fish is about to pass by Zhao Dashan, it will be difficult to catch it when it enters the deep water area.
Zhao Dashan took a leap, jumped up, and pressed it deep into the mud. The big fish was still struggling, and Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly went up and held down his tail.
The two brothers didn't wait for the people next to them to rush over to help, and together they lifted the big fish out of the mud.
You know, when others come to help, whether they help or not, if they catch a fish, they have to bring someone to share it.
Seeing two people catch a big fish, not to mention the four children, even soybeans, they all felt excited, and their hearts were about to jump out.
Catching fish is not the same as buying fish, and catching such a big fish is so rewarding.
It's not a big fish bought with money, and it gives people a feeling that can be compared.
The two men carried the fish and walked to the shore with the envy of the crowd. The fish is too heavy to throw it up, so you can only send it up in person.
The fish was so big that it jumped hard when it was thrown on the shore, which frightened the four children so much that they hurriedly ran to their mothers and hid, holding their legs and secretly sticking out their little heads to see.
The little tiger boy was bold, ran over and kicked it with his foot, but Huang Tao didn't stop him, not to mention the clothes this time, even the shoes were dirty.
After catching a big fish, Zhao Dashan and Zhang Xiaohu rested and didn't want to go down.
shouted below, meaning that whoever wants to use a fish cover and a net will only work, just turn around and bring it back to Zhao Dashan's house.
That's how to catch fish in the village, and in the end, I can't figure out who the fish cover and fish net is, so I take it back and ask from door to door to ask whose things it is.
I really couldn't find the owner, so I put it on the threshing floor, and the owner would naturally come to collect it.
"Don't catch it, go back to dinner." Zhao Dashan rested for a while, stood up and went to pull Zhang Xiaohu.
The two of them are like clay figurines.
Zhang Xiaohu took his whole family to visit relatives today, and he was still wearing brocade clothes, and he heard that he was going to catch fish, so he temporarily changed Zhao Dachuan's old clothes.
At the moment, his body is dirty, and he doesn't care about it. After packing up the fish, the largest one directly rubbed a handful of wild grass into a grass rope from the gills of the fish and passed through it, carried by Zhao Dashan.
When he brought it up, it had already reached the top of Zhao Dashan's waist, which was really a bit big, and the two of them simply broke off a stick from the tree and lifted it up.
Two people, one carrying a bucket of fish in his hand.
There is also a bamboo basket full of half a basket of fish, soybeans and Huang Xiaoyu are carrying, and Huang Tao is driving the four children back like ducks.
The four children didn't have to rush at all, they followed Zhao Dashan and Zhang Xiaohu to run back and forth.
Such a big fish was caught by my father and my third uncle, and it was too face-saving. The four little guys even raised their small breasts high in the envious eyes of everyone.
The image of the father and the third uncle quickly became tall in their minds, and they simply became the heroes they worshipped.
When they got home, Zhao Dachuan also came back and was about to go to the pond to call them home for dinner. Seeing that they were carrying a big herring back, they hurriedly found the scales and came out.
One scale, 23 pounds heavier. No wonder they had so much strength that they knocked over two people before they were caught.
Aunt Zhao had already prepared her clothes, boiled hot water, and asked them to take a shower and change clothes for dinner. Looking at the four little mud monkeys again, he couldn't help laughing, and went to find clothes to change the four boys.
The soybean sisters and Huang Xiaoyu are not particular about it, they simply wash their hands and face and wipe the mud with a cloth towel.
They also made an appointment to go to the pond in the afternoon to have a look, but now that they have changed to the afternoon, they may be dirty again, and they will also get a little mud and ideas, okay, you can still see it.
After Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Dashan took a bath, they hurriedly ate to eat. I didn't feel it when I was busy catching fish, but now I feel hungry, everyone is hungry.
The four children even gobbled up the small bowl of food.
Aunt Zhao hurriedly ate a few bites of food, then packed up the fish and went to the well to start washing and killing fish. While the weather is still hot, so many fish should be pickled, and some of them should be picked out and sent to Zhang Xiaohu's family.
Zhao Dashan, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Dachuan are not in a hurry now, they poured a glass of wine and chatted while eating.
The three daughters-in-law took care of the children while eating, and after eating, they also ran to the well to help Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao killed the big fish and chopped it in half, half for Zhang Xiaohu's family, and half for her own family.
I picked half of the neat fish and put it in the basket, so that Huang Tao and the others would take it back.
Huang Tao naturally shirked it, and Huang Dou was not polite, seeing that Zhang Xiaohu was still drinking, he simply brought the basket and half a fish that had been divided, and prepared to send it directly to Zhang's house first.
