Chapter 4 Fishing Expert!
At the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are ocean currents passing through it, so even in this ice age, the waters of the Yangtze River estuary are still not frozen.
This is a generous gift from God, and it is also a unique condition, which makes the entire port of sea a blessed place for fishermen to survive.
Today is the first time that Wang Qiang has gone to sea to fish with the grandchildren of the Chen family.
The cold wind shouted, the snow was falling, Wang Qiang stood on the bow of the shuttle boat with his upper body and a pair of shorts, while holding a pole for supporting the boat in his hand.
Wang Qiang aimed at the river, motionless and maintained a throwing posture for half an hour! In half an hour, the snowflakes were sprinkled one after another, falling to the ground, and they had already shrouded Wang Qiangshuo until they were completely covered and wrapped into an out-and-out snowman.
Wang Qiang remained unmoved.
A grain of snow shook down on Maomao's red nose, and the little one let out a big sneeze.
The sound of sneezing alarmed Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang turned his head and showed a strange smile at Mao Mao, and his idle hand stretched out his index finger and gently put it to his mouth.
"Shh Wang Qiang said.
Mao Mao looked at Wang Qiang, who was covered in heavy snow, and couldn't help but smile milkily: "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, aren't you cold?" ”
Wang Qiang smiled and shook his head gently, his eyes still staring at the underwater.
The old man Chen Ajin, who was cleaning the fishing nets at the stern of the boat, saw Wang Qiang's appearance, and sighed in his heart, stupid like this, this baby has finished the ball for the rest of his life.
A black-roofed boat glided by, and on the bow stood a man in his prime who was casting a net to catch fish.
When the awning boat passed by the small shuttle boat, the middle-aged man saw Wang Qiang and laughed loudly: "Old man Chen, you better throw this fool to the shore as soon as possible, and roll into the water later, it is estimated that you can't catch him with this old bone!" ”
After cleaning the fishing net at the bow of the boat, Old Man Chen threw some small fish and shrimp into the fish basin, raised his head and replied with a reluctant smile: "Yao Laoer, you still have to do your own work, rent such a big boat, you can't catch enough fish to go back Liu Popi, but I really want to pull your skin." ”
Yao Lao Er was about to talk, when a sturdy woman in a coarse cotton coat walked out of the cabin of the canopy boat, grabbed the man's ears and scolded him.
Yao Lao Er was grabbed by the ear, and his teeth were grinning in pain. As a traditional Chinese good man, the spirit of raking his ears is always in his heart, and his wife is in battle, so he doesn't dare to continue to talk nonsense, so he can only concentrate on collecting the net.
Yao Lao Er is strong and strong, and his wife personally supervises the formation, men and women are not tired of working, plus a good boat and a good net, this net goes down, and it actually pulls up a hundred and ten catties of fresh fish!
Old Man Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Yao Lao Er's net was worth the harvest of his own day's work.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you sighing?" The hairy man asked cautiously.
"It's nothing, Grandpa is a little tired." Old Man Chen replied.
"Grandpa and Grandpa, when Maomao grows up, he will definitely help Grandpa catch fish and catch a lot of fish." Mao Mao swore and said.
"Haha, okay, but now you have to sit tight, grandpa, grandpa is going to cast a net." After Old Man Chen finished speaking, he pinched the fishing net with both hands and threw it with one hand, and the fishing net drew an arc and sank into the river.
The nets were returned to the shuttle, but the harvest was pitiful.
The nets are so broken that most of the fish escape before they are raised, and only the silly little ones are caught in the nets.
"Hey, Ah Gong, the harvest of this net is really small." Mao Mao looked at the fry in the fishing net and said pitifully.
Old Man Chen didn't answer this time, just silently sorted out the fishing nets.
Suddenly, the shuttle boat was bumpy, and Mao Mao, who was standing in the cabin, almost fell, and the old man Chen, who was immersed in work, was even more shocked. The shuttle boat is narrow and can't withstand the wind and waves, and if there is an accident, it will be fatal!
Old Man Chen looked around in a hurry, but saw a large fish nearly three meters long nailed to death on the shuttle boat by a stern. The big fish was so big that it pressed the draft of the shuttle boat to the cordon.
This is a typical offshore fish, which rarely appears at the mouth of the sea, and also belongs to the deep-water fish, which is very difficult to catch, but at this time, it is like falling from the sky, lying on a shuttle boat, and is desperately fighting.
The strength of the big fish was very great, and the small boat was almost overturned by it, and the old man Chen squatted in the stern with Mao Mao, his whole body leaning on the cabin, and holding the side of the boat with one hand.
A foot gently kicked the big fish in the head, and the big fish stopped swinging in an instant as if it had been electrocuted, and the dead fish lay on the bow of the boat.
Wang Qiang moved his foot, stepped on the head of the fish to take out the cockpit from the body of the big fish, and then continued to look at the river, just now he saw a bigger one, but that guy was obviously smarter, and did not enter his hunting range, if there was a speargun, the results would be even different, Wang Qiang thought.
Old Man Chen has been completely frightened, such a big fish, since the end of the world, the old man has never hit it again, and it is said that the whole one is so big, even half of it has never been seen!
"Wang Qiang, you caught this?" Old Man Chen was a little incoherent.
Wang Qiang smiled: "There is a bigger one, but it's a pity that it ran away." ”
Mao Mao came out from behind Ah Gong, looked at the big fish, and his eyes flashed with little stars: "Ah Gong and Ah Gong, this fish is so big, so big!" I don't think the one Uncle Geng hit last time was as big as this one. ”
Uncle Geng in Maomao's mouth is the number one fishing expert in the settlement, has his own fishing boat, and has bought a house in Dongtian Town.
Old Man Chen also commented: "It's indeed bigger than the fish caught by the old Geng family." ”
Mao Mao was very excited: "Grandpa and Grandpa, let's take the fish to Dongtian Town to sell it tomorrow, and we can buy a good fishing net again!" With good fishing nets, we can catch more fish. ”
Old Man Chen suppressed his joy and looked at Wang Qiang. At this time, Wang Qiang was standing alone in the wind, not knowing what he was thinking.
The simple old man Chen thought of more, and he said to his little grandson in a serious tone: "Mao Mao, this is the fish that Wang Qiang hit, it belongs to Wang Qiang's property, and Wang Qiang has to choose to deal with it." When you grow up, don't think about things that don't belong to you. When your father was still there, I told him, this person, people can't be poor, and you can't envy the things in the world. ”
Maomao pouted, as if she was about to cry.
At this time, Wang Qiang came back to his senses and heard what Old Man Chen said, and immediately felt familiar. In a very far-reaching corner of my memory, there was a woman who said the same thing to herself, who was that person? Wang Qiang racked his brain and couldn't think of it.
"Maomao, I'll give you this fish." Wang Qiang said to Maomao, who had a deflated mouth.
"Really?" Maomao's mood instantly improved.
"Of course it's true, but I have one condition." Wang Qiang said.
When she heard that there were conditions, Maomao's mood was suddenly bad again.
Mao Mao asked timidly: "Brother Wang Qiang, what conditions do you have, I don't have money to ask for." ”
Wang Qiang laughed: "It's not that I'm looking for money, my condition is to go home and fry a few small fish to improve my life!" ”
Mao Mao looked back at Ah Gong, and then nodded solemnly.
The shuttle roamed on the river, slowly sailing towards the way back to the shore, and the fishermen encountered along the way all cast envious eyes at the big fish.
Mao Mao guards next to the big fish, just like a loyal guard guarding the property, as long as there is a flash of eyes, Mao Mao will look with his eyes, pay close attention to who the owner of the eyes is, as if he is afraid that if he is not careful, the big fish around him will be stolen.
As for Uncle Chen, he filled his old smoking pot with a pot of tobacco leaves, lit it and took a puff. Since Maomao's father died, Mr. Chen has been worrying about his livelihood every day, although he is old, he can't rest for a day, and he won't have anything to eat if he rests for a day. For a long, long time, Old Man Chen didn't feel as relaxed as he did today, which was a feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time.
The boat was rippling in the river, Wang Qiang suddenly stood up from the bow of the boat, quickly took off his long shirt, and then jumped into the river.
All this happened too suddenly, so that the old man Chen, who was smoking and reverie, did not react, and also made Mao Mao, who was guarding the big fish, stunned.
"Did Brother Wang Qiang go into the water to catch fish?" Mao Mao thought to herself.
Before Mao Mao had time to think too much, Wang Qiang had already surfaced from the water and slowly swam towards the boat.
Until Wang Qiang swam close to the boat, the sharp-eyed old man Chen found that Wang Qiang seemed to be dragging something!
