Chapter 4: The Overlord of the Water

"Yu Niang, eat more, the meat of this little crucian carp is the most delicious, and it is also the most suitable for a little lady like you to nourish her body."

"By the way, Yu Niang, do you know what this big pot of stew is called in Fujian?"

"It's called fish rice."

"Why?"

"Because the fishermen over there are also poor and can't afford to buy food, so they can only eat fish for food."

Warm adobe house.

Yu Niang watched her brother carefully help her pick the fish bones, and talked eloquently, only feeling that today was the happiest day in her life.

Her brother was not only kind to her, but he was also able to fish......

And.

Today, she can actually eat fish and rice together, and she can eat a full meal in one go......

Yu Niang wondered if she had saved the whole universe in her previous life in exchange for a good life like today......

Good for a while.

Seeing that Yu Niang had eaten most of the big carp more than a foot long, and had eaten seven or eight small crucian carp, she really couldn't eat it, Li Yuanjing nodded with satisfaction.

Road:

"Yu Niang, don't you suspect that your brother's fishing is fake? Don't go anywhere today, just stay at home and help my brother. Let's see if what my brother said is fake! ”

"Plus!"

"Brother, I will naturally find a way to deal with the matter of silver, you just have to take care of your body first, understand?"

In the past, when Li Yuanjing said such things, Yu Niang would definitely not listen to them.

After all.

If Li Yuanjing's predecessor said this, then their young couple would probably have no second choice except starve to death.

However.

At this time, Li Yuanjing, especially the fish and rice in front of them, which was enough for them to eat openly, completely gave Yu Niang a sense of security.

Yu Niang's beautiful eyes already had a lot of brilliance, and she didn't dare to refute Li Yuanjing anymore, so she nodded obediently.

With the help of the ingenious Jade Niang, it will be much easier for Li Yuanjing to make a fish basket again.

Not much.

The two of them made up another fish basket.

Because of the help of Jade Niang, this is even more perfect than the first fish basket.

Seeing that Yu Niang was about to pick up the remaining rattan and continue to weave, Li Yuanjing suddenly became clever and said:

"Yu Niang, don't worry, wait, let me think about it."

Li Yuanjing carefully thought back to the terrain on the other side of the waterhole, and suddenly felt that it was a bit of a waste to weave this kind of small fish basket with the few rattans he had left.

Mainly because he was familiar with the environment over there, Li Yuanjing faintly felt ......

In a waterhole of that terrain, there are probably big fish!

Small fish like this are not very valuable, but what if you can catch a big fish?

Notice.

Even if it was so developed in later generations, those anglers who caught big fish could make a small windfall, let alone at this time?

Soon.

Li Yuanjing Road:

"Yu Niang, let's make it up like this this time, the mouth is bigger, do you see it? Probably this shape. ”

Although what Li Yuanjing said was a little floating, Yu Niang was very smart and quickly understood what Li Yuanjing meant, and hurriedly began to make it up together.

It took more than an hour to consume almost all the rattans, and this large fish basket was more than a meter long and stout.

And at this time, if he makes bait, Li Yuanjing will not use his 'golden water'.

He deliberately boiled a lot of fish oil when he was cooking.

Fish oil combined with some tender fish meat mixed with grain, which is close to the level of bait in later generations.

But the two large, one small and three fish baskets are already considered a big project, and it doesn't seem good to go during the day......

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjing directly beckoned Yu Niang to rest, and when she was full of food and drink, she would go fishing in the middle of the night.

After all.

In this era when it is a luxury for ordinary people to drink vegetable paste soup, your family eats fish and rice every day, which is a bit detached from the masses......

The time has just passed.

The moonlight was cool, and the village was quiet.

Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang were full of food and drink, and set off with three fish baskets.

When he came to a big puddle next to the small puddle in the morning, Li Yuanjing followed the steps step by step, nailing the deed first, and then tying the safety rope.

Then let Yu Niang watch the safety rope on the side, and he came to put the fish basket.

"Bang bang."

Soon.

Two small and one large fish baskets were successively put into the water.

Perhaps because the bait was strengthened, the aroma was very strong, and within a while, the fish was hooked, and the fish hit the basket with a "bang".

Yu Niang was suddenly shocked.

I looked at this scene in front of me in disbelief.

She just wanted to say something, but suddenly reacted and hurriedly covered her small mouth.

But her beautiful eyes looked at Li Yuanjing next to her, and there were already little stars flickering.

Her brother is really a scholar.

Only a reader can come up with such a subtle solution.

Feeling the worship of Yu Niang, coupled with the fact that there were constantly fish in the pool water 'clanging' into the fish basket, Li Yuanjing only felt refreshed.

This era doesn't seem to be bad......

After paying off his debts, he slowly developed his career, built a big mansion, and married a few delicate concubines......

Gee.

On these days, I don't change it for a god.

However, Li Yuanjing soon returned to reality.

Fishing is only the first step, and then do something to realize, hurry up to the silver, and first pay off the evil debts of Xue Dashan and the taxes pressed on his head, which is the most important.

"Whoa!"

Just thinking about it in a mess, a large splash suddenly gushed out from the pool of water, which was originally only splashed by small splashes.

Followed by.

The big fish basket kept struggling violently.

Li Yuanjing hurriedly motioned for Yu Niang to retreat, don't rush forward, and he looked with wide eyes.

"I'll ......"

Li Yuanjing suddenly became clever, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

I saw—

A large black fish with a pitch-black body and at least one meter long, half of its body seemed to be stuck in the fish basket and was struggling desperately.

"Brother, big fish, what a big fish wow......"

Yu Niang also saw the situation in the water at this time, her little face was pale, it was incredible, she shrank tightly behind Li Yuanjing, and her little body couldn't stop trembling.

She's so big, she's never seen such a big fish, it's even bigger than her.

"God bless, I should be rich with my master!"

Li Yuanjing couldn't stop waving his fists excitedly at this time.

The enhanced version of the bait is really powerful!

This is a big catfish that has taken the bait.

Although catfish is not a good fish among fish, it is not very valuable, it is still a destroyer, and there is a 'catfish effect', which is specifically said to be destructive of catfish.

But I can't bear it, this catfish is big enough.

Conservative estimates.

Just this head of pure wild catfish, future generations will not be able to take it down.

At this time, even if you are discounted and discounted, you can sell it for three or five taels of silver, right?

"Don't panic!"

"Don't scream, don't move!!"

In later generations, in order to make the big boss Lao Taishan happy, Li Yuanjing accompanied him to fishing, and he still had a lot of experience in catching this kind of big fish.

Immediately beckoned Yu Niang to stand back, don't scare the big catfish anymore.

Yu Niang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated.

"Plop plop!"

At this time.

There was already a fierce splash in the waterhole.

This big catfish is obviously used to being domineering in this pool, when has it ever suffered such a loss? It's struggling desperately.

However, Li Yuanjing's big fish basket is quite tight.

Even if its skin is rough and thick, and the rattan at the mouth of the fish basket has not cut its skin for a while, it is firmly stuck in its head and a small half of its body in the fish basket, and it cannot break free.

Fortunately, before Li Yuanjing got off the big fish basket, the wedge was strong enough.

Otherwise.

I'm afraid that along with the wedge and the fish basket, this big guy will be taken to the waterhole.

After repeatedly confirming that this big catfish couldn't break free for a while, Li Yuanjing simply made a decisive decision!

He stepped forward quickly, pulled up the hemp rope of the big fish basket, and began to pull it up desperately.

"Whoa!"

However.

Li Yuanjing still underestimated the strength of this big catfish, not only did he not drag the big catfish up, but he didn't pay attention and was almost dragged into the pool by the big catfish.

"Yu Niang, come and help! Let's drag this big guy up! ”

Li Yuanjing hurriedly shouted to Yu Niang.

"Huh? Oh. ”

Only then did Yu Niang react, and hurriedly rushed over to work hard with Li Yuanjing.

Soon.

The two of them even had the strength to breastfeed, like a tug-of-war.

That is, the two of them have eaten and drunk enough today, and they have enough spirits, otherwise, I am afraid that they are really not the opponent of this big overlord.

"Bang bang bang."

Soon.

The hard skin of this big catfish's head was cut by rattans, and the blood flowed, but it was still struggling desperately, and the waters were a little red with blood.

"Work harder, drag this big bully up!"

Li Yuanjing was already sweating profusely and panting at this time, but he didn't dare to relax a bit, and beckoned Yu Niang to work together.

With all the strength of their bodies, coupled with the weight of their bodies, the two of them finally dragged the fish basket above the water.

Without the support of the water potential, the strength of this big catfish instantly decreased a lot.

"Plop!"

Li Yuanjing shouted in a low voice, and the two of them once again worked hard at the same time, and finally pulled the big catfish up with the fish basket.

"Plop plop plop!"

But even if this big catfish came ashore, it was still unwilling, and it was still struggling desperately, and blood was splashed all over the ground.

It scared Yu Niang so much that she hurriedly hid behind Li Yuanjing.

Li Yuanjing was also trembling at this time, his two arms were unconscious, and he still had palpitations.

Just now, it seemed that this big overlord was less than a meter long in the water, but at this time, when I really pulled it to the shore, I found that this thing was at least more than a meter long and weighed forty or fifty pounds.

Not to mention ordinary small fish and shrimp.

Fear.

Even a child, once it falls into its territory, it can be swallowed by it in one bite.

After a moment's pause, Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang couldn't stop looking at each other.

Yu Niangqiao's face was slightly red, and she was a little shy, but she was filled with endless excitement, and her voice trembled a little:

"Brother, this big fish, really, is it really what we caught......
