Chapter 7 Catching the Eel
......
"Sixth uncle, these are the secrets of the rise of the family, and everything is based on secrecy. Wang Shouzhe temporarily gave up his plan to popularize Lure with him, and said solemnly.
"I understand. I will be extra careful in doing all this, and when the time comes, I will ask the family to assign two generals to me. Wang Dinghai was so excited that he trembled, "Besides, I have some thoughts about that moving kite. You can quickly transform it with a cast net, let's try the effect first. If you can ......"
His eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to experiment.
Dingpu Ferry to the rocky beach is the territory of the Wang family, and ordinary people will not and dare not approach the riverbank. After all, the banks of the river are undeveloped, and they have simply been cleared, and there are all kinds of inadvertent dangers.
Moreover, the section of the river is meandering, and there are many remote and hidden places, and after being inspired by Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dinghai, who is familiar with the fishing industry, has burst out with many plans and ideas.
After obtaining Wang Shouzhe's consent, Wang Dinghai took the boat all the way to a small hidden wharf in the section of the river, each small wharf here is a secret small stronghold, which can be used for a variety of purposes, and there are three caves for the cunning rabbit, not to mention the fishing fleet of the Wang family.
There is also a hidden wooden hut built next to the small pier, which is a place to rest from the wind and waves. Wang Dinghai placed Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui in this humble place, and after leaving the king dog to serve the two, he hurried away.
"It's the first time I've seen Uncle Six so hot. Gongsun Hui said with emotion, "It seems that the fishing ideas you provide Zhe'er will have a very good effect." ”
"It's all in ancient books, and it can't be done without actual combat, and I hope it will be useful to the family. Wang Shouzhe smiled indifferently, and then said to Wang Goudan, "Dogdan, do you know how to grill fish?"
"Yes. Wang Goudan nodded smartly, "Home, family master, the villain is going to grill fish." With that, he ran out in a puff of smoke.
When only Gongsun Hui and Wang Shouzhe were left, Gongsun Hui looked at Wang Shouzhe carefully, and only after seeing that he was a little hairy in his heart did he sigh with emotion: "Zhe'er, you have changed, and you seem to be free and uninhibited and very confident." In the past, you only knew how to cultivate hard when you shouldered heavy burdens, and you didn't care about the rest. If it weren't for the eldest lady watching you grow up, I would really suspect that you were dropped. ”
"The eldest lady said with a smile, I used to have my father on top, so I could naturally ignore everything. Wang Shouzhe's expression was calm, and he sighed and said, "But now that my father has passed away, the family situation has become so bad, if I don't cheer up the Wang family, where will I go?" ”
Wang Shouzhe took control of the situation, took the initiative to end the topic, and took the lead in closing his eyes and resting.
Half an hour later, Wang Goudan got back a few golden grilled fish, smelled all the fragrant, Wang Shouzhe took out two big copper and threw them away: "Reward you, wait outside." ”
"Xie family master, Xie family master. The king ran out of the house with joy.
Grilled fish and Gongsun Hui are eaten separately, although the dog egg is ordinary, it is sprinkled with a little coarse salt, but it is better than the fresh and high-quality ingredients, and Wang Shouzhe is amazed by the mouth.
Gongsun Hui also tasted such rough food for the first time, and after eating it in a few bites, her beautiful eyes flashed again and again, as if it was very palatable.
After eating a few grilled fish, Wang Dinghai's excited shout came from outside: "Shouzhe, fifth sister-in-law, come out and have a look." ”
Wang Shouzhe and the two came out when they heard the sound, and when they arrived at the edge of the small dock, they saw that Wang Dinghai had already set up a simple kite according to the plan. Good guy, Wang Shouzhe's brows jumped when he saw the kite, the four poles were all arm-thick logs, and the main pole was thicker than the thigh.
This thing is too bulky, I'm afraid it has two or three hundred pounds, and the earthlings will definitely not be able to play it.
I saw Wang Dinghai standing on the wooden dock, just waist and horse in one, and with a little force to pull the cable, the cumbersome kite was easily pried out of the water by him.
Hehe, I forgot that guy was a fifth-level Xuanwu of the Qi Refining Realm, and his strength was more than ten times greater than that of ordinary earthlings.
"Boom!"
A big fish was caught in the kite net, and the big fish violently blew up the water but was blocked by the mesh, and before it could react in the second wave, it was dragged out of the water and lay in the center of the net to be slaughtered. In addition, there are a few small fish of one to two or three catties lying quietly beside it.
"Good!"
The surrounding fishermen cheered excitedly, and used simple rods to copy the catch. Although it was a worthless red carp, it could be sold for dozens of slots weighing six or seven catties, and it also proved the effect of carrying a kite.
Subsequently, under the personal guidance of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dinghai further improved the kite and installed inverted rods, counterweights and other things.
The principle is very simple, it is a seesaw on the earth. However, the seesaw is a triangle, the two ends are connected by cables, and the other end of the seesaw is equipped with a suitable counterweight, and with light pressure, the kite and mesh at the other end can be lifted out of the water in the form of a seesaw.
This time, another two hours have passed, and the sky has been wiped out before it is all tossed, but the enthusiasm of the big guys is very high. As long as it takes half a column of incense, you can set up the net once, and it is effortless.
Of course, it is impossible to avoid empty networks. However, it was already dark at this point, and many fish began to sneak along the shore in search of food at night, and there was far more food on the shore than in the center of the river.
"Boom!"
After a few empty nets, there will always be a bang, a big fish or something. Occasionally, there will be two nets, three or something. This made those fishermen and Wang Dinghai very excited.
"Shouzhe, get rich, get rich. Wang Dinghai, who was holding a torch, reported in ecstasy, "Just now, thirty nets were set up in one hour, five were run, and nine large objects were hit, and small and medium-sized catches were not counted.
In just one hour, more than 100 catties of fish were caught, and the total value was more than a dozen large coppers. ”
Such a terrible harvest made Wang Shouzhe a little confused, in the end it was the Xuanwu world, and the resources were much better than the earth. However, Wang Dinghai later said that it is now the peak season for fishing, and the evening is the best time for fishing, so it is reasonable to have this harvest.
"This thing is much more powerful than casting a net. Wang Dinghai said excitedly, "There are a lot of catches for casting nets, but a fisherman with abundant physical strength can cast hundreds of nets at most in a day and has no physical strength." But this new tool does not require much physical effort or skill, and can arrange for two fishermen to work in turns at twelve hours, and it is relatively safe, after all, the bank of the river is much less dangerous than the center of the river. ”
"Yes, but you're missing one advantage, which is replicability. Wang Shouzhe was also in a very good mood and said, "Sixth uncle, tomorrow you will find some skilled craftsmen from the family to carve this simple thing well, and then gradually expand it, and take advantage of this year's fish flood period to make more money." ”
"The most important thing is confidentiality. Gongsun Hui added on the side, "Sixth Uncle, you can't blindly expand your manpower, try to find some reliable helpers from the side clansmen." ”
Everyone, you and I add it word by word.
Suddenly!
"Boom" with a huge sound of exploding water.
Wang Goudan roared over there: "Haiye, hurry, come quickly." ”
The three of them looked at each other, only to see a huge snake-shaped giant in the kite, its explosive power was extremely fierce, even if it was lifted out of the water by two adult fishermen, it was still struggling frantically in the net pocket, and the whole bracket shook violently.
"It's a red eel!" Wang Dinghai's face was ecstatic, but in the blink of an eye, his face changed sharply, "It's not good, it's going to break the net." ”
I saw that the sharp teeth of the red eel bit the net hole, and its body writhed and rotated wildly, and in an instant, the fishing net was torn out of a big hole, and it writhed along the hole to squeeze out.
Wang Dinghai didn't say a word, and rushed directly into the water, swimming towards the fishing net at a very fast speed. Just as the red eel was about to get out of trouble, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed its neck, and with his right hand, he pulled out the water thorn in his waist, and stabbed it into its head fiercely, stirring from side to side.
But even so, the red eel still entangled him, stirring desperately, obviously the vitality was extremely vigorous, and it was a full column of incense before the thing died.
Wang Dinghai dragged it ashore and spread it on the improvised dock, the body of the thing was more than two feet long, the initial place was thicker than the thigh, and the whole body was covered with red scales.
"First-order aquatic beast red scale eel, sixth uncle, this should be an adult red scale eel, does it have to be a hundred catties?" Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui were also curiously watching.
"Hahaha, more than that, this one is at least more than one hundred and fifty catties, and it is worth at least thirty or fifty dry gold. Wang Dinghai sat on the ground and gasped, his eyes shining with excitement, "If this murderous thing is allowed to go into the water, your sixth uncle may not be able to get it." But this red eel is full of treasures, the head of the family, I owe it to you today, hahaha~ I will take it to Dingpu Ferry tomorrow to show off. ”
