Chapter 224: Touching the Fish
The river water is clear and warm, the aquatic plants are bright and lovely, the water between the aquatic plants in the distance is clearly extinguished in the sun, these moving pictures, Ye Duhong and others have never seen it, here, there is no beautiful scenery of uninhabited islands, and there is no atmospheric scene of Wuling Mountain, there is only the infinite interest of wild villages and wild waters.
The cow and donkey who were fishing in the water said, "Do you want to eat fish?" If you want to eat fish, come down and catch fish with me.
Ye Duhong smiled and said, how many fish have you caught?
Niu Donkey said, there are a lot of fish in this river, but it is difficult to catch, there are a lot of strips in this water, swimming fast, I have been here for two days, and I have not touched a fish. However, I believe that if you come down and touch with me, there may be an improvement. A few of us chased and intercepted the fish, and we didn't believe that we couldn't catch the fish.
Meng Hai said, I have also caught fish in our village, all crucian carp, carp, loach, I am still very capable of catching fish, I go down, I can catch fish.
The cow and donkey said, then you can come down, don't just talk and don't practice, come down and catch a fish for me to see.
Meng Hai took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, first tested the temperature of the water with his toes, and then slowly entered the water, when Meng Hai was in the water, the cow and donkey were happy, and said, you were really called down by me, I will see if you can catch the fish, if you can really catch the fish, you will take my family to make it for everyone to eat, and you don't want your money for any oil or salt.
Meng Hai entered the water with his hands, his hands were separated, like two big fish swimming in the water, his two hands moved slowly, swimming with those fish. The fish didn't notice that Meng Hai's hands were getting closer to them little by little, Meng Hai's hands gently drove a fish to a center, and then the separated hands quietly merged into this center, and the fish was held by Meng Hai.
Meng Hai took the fish in his hand, soaked it with clean water, shook it in front of the ox and donkey, and said, "Brother, how is it, look at what I have caught."
The cow and donkey looked very satisfied. Say. Ah, you're really good at catching a strip, you're amazing.
Meng Hai threw the fish ashore. The grass was immediately picked up. A dog's tail grass was drawn. Thread the fish with grass, which is not large, about the width of two fingers. It was as long as a palm, and when the grass pierced it with a piece of grass, it fluttered in the air, and the grass was afraid that the grass would break, so he found a few more grasses, twisted them into a rope, and threaded the fish up.
Ye Duhong, who was next to Cao'er, saw that Meng Hai caught a fish, and he was also interested, and he said to Meng Hai, your luck is good, just when you get into the water, you caught a difficult fish.
Meng Hai said, what is good luck, obviously I have the strength, I caught fish when I was a child, and I have practiced my ability to catch fish, I think it is a great joy to catch fish slowly like this.
Ye Duhong said, wait for me, wait for me to go down and catch fish with you. Then he turned back to the grass and said, "You are on the shore, and we will give you all the fish we have caught, and you will take a rope and string it."
Ye Duhong also bent over, stretched out his hands into the water, his technique looks very skillful, Ye Duhong looked at the water surface, saw that there was a fish head emerging from the water, so he took his hands to get close to the head, when the hand reached a certain position, Ye Duhong would merge his hands violently, and then a fish was caught by Ye Duhong.
Ye Duhong had just entered the water and also caught a fish, and it was bigger than the one Meng Hai had just caught. Ye Duhong stretched out his hand to show off a little in front of the cow and donkey, and threw the fish to the grass on the shore.
Cao'er smiled and shouted to them, come on, see who catches more fish in the end.
Meng Hai said in the water, life is too short, we can have the joy of this time, it is also a blessing, let us play our skills in the water.
Niu Donkey said next to him, you played really well, I have the ability to catch fish, but I can't play today, I can't play alive or dead.
Ye Duhong said, you catch seriously, catch fish with full attention, not half-heartedly.
The cow and donkey said, "Okay, I'll catch it carefully and compare it with you, and I won't believe that I can't catch the fish."
The cow and donkey also learned the posture of the night alone, bent over, and slowly swam in the water with both hands, and he found that there was a head exposed on the water surface, and the cow and donkey slowly approached with both hands, and he almost covered his palms with lightning speed, and held the fish. The ox and donkey immediately ran to the shore, and as soon as they threw their hands away, two fish jumped on the ground. With this moment, he caught two fish, and the ox and donkey were as happy as a newborn foal.
The cow and donkey shouted to Ye Duhong and Meng Hai in the water, how about it, I caught a fish, and I caught two at once, do you have this ability?
Meng Hai said, today I must catch a plate fish in this water, and the body is colorful, I can't catch a colorful plate fish, I will not be surnamed Meng.
Meng Hai was concentrating on fishing in the water, his hands were already a little splashy, but he didn't care at all. Just as he felt something moving among the aquatic plants, he reached over with both hands, and as soon as he grabbed it, he caught a small fish. The fish was only the size of a baby's palm, its body was flat, and there was a colorful light on its body, so Meng Hai shook the colorful plate fish in front of Ye Duhong's eyes, and then went ashore, and showed off the colorful plate fish in front of the cow and donkey.
Now only Ye Duhong is alone in the water, Ye Duhong shouted to the shore, if I don't catch a grass carp today, I won't be surnamed Ye.
The cow and donkey said, if you can't catch a grass carp, don't you boast about the sea, what if you can't catch a grass carp at night?
Ye Duhong said, I will do what I say, I say I want to catch a grass carp, just catch a grass carp, if I can't catch a grass carp, I will have your surname.
Ye Duhong's hands swam in the water, his eyes stared at the water, although his back was already a little sore, but he still insisted on paying full attention. Ye Duhong suddenly shook his hands and held a fish in his hand, Ye Duhong lifted the fish up, and it was indeed a grass carp.
Ye Duhong ran up from the water screaming, he said, how about it, it's a grass carp, I caught a grass carp.
Cao Er put all the fish in grass, and the four of them carried a bunch of fish and went to the cow and donkey's house. Niu Donkey said, today is really lucky, you are really auspicious, see you, this luck is good. I used to toss in the water for a long time, but I couldn't catch a single fish, but with your participation, it's different.
Meng Hai said, this catch is a piece of cake for me, this is nothing, there is no need to be proud.
Several people came to Niu Donkey's house, and the yard of Niu Donkey's house was very large, and the courtyard was surrounded by a fence. So the ox and the donkey took out of the kitchen a knife and a cutting board, and removed the scales of the fish from the cutting board, and took out the entrails, and brought out the flesh of the fish. The cow and donkey said, "What you can't eat on this fish is dirty meat, and what you can eat is pure meat, and now I have made the clean meat of this fish, I don't want to make fish alone, I want to make fish in a variety of ways."
So the cow and donkey fried the fish, some fried, some stewed, some roasted, and the cow and donkey made several kinds of donkey meat at once, and placed them on the small square table, and everyone sat around the table to enjoy the deliciousness.
The cow and the donkey said, "Taste my craft, I'm a good man, but I can't catch fish."
Ye Duhong said, you are suitable to be a chef, not a fisherman. After saying that, everyone laughed. (To be continued......)
