Chapter 13: Fishing
"Can this thing catch fish? Why don't you say that pigs will go up trees? Qin Zhen's words made everyone around him laugh.
It's not like no one has ever thought of catching fish with a net before.
However, the nets made cannot withstand the fluttering of sea fish and the turbulent seawater, and are very easy to break.
Over time, no one used it anymore.
Qin Zhen didn't explain either, after all, they might not understand what he said.
Of course, it is impossible for Qin Zhen to make a professional-level fishing net by hand, but it is not difficult to get a simple large net that can catch fish.
After borrowing a rope from Liu Quan and tying stones to ensure that the fishing net could sink to the bottom, Qin Zhen took off his clothes and prepared to go to the sea.
"You're young, don't go." Liu Quan stopped him: "Just tell me how to make this thing." ”
Although he also thinks that this green vine can't catch fish, but now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Brother Liu, after swimming a few dozen meters, throw this thing into the sea, and when the stone sinks to the bottom, we will start pulling it on the shore." Qin Zhen's simple and clear narration method, Liu Quan understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately called a few people to pick up the driftwood and swim towards the sea.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them, and many people gathered around them to watch the excitement, all wanting to see if Qin Zhen's trick could catch fish.
"Absolutely can't be fished, just a few broken vegetable leaves, how can you catch the fish?" A man from a neighboring village pouted with disdain.
"That's it! If I could catch a fish, I'd eat the beach! Another shouted.
"Don't look down on my town!" Li Han was immediately unhappy: "My town is possible!" Bears are blind and dead, let alone fish in the sea? Catch the fish later, and I'll see how you eat up the sand!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the pot immediately exploded on the shore.
"Kill the bear? Really? ”
"My brother came back from the county a few days ago, and it was indeed said that there was a little hero who killed bears in the small fishing village!"
"They're from a small fishing village! It can't be such a coincidence! ”
For a while, everyone's eyes looking at Qin Zhen changed.
At this time, Liu Quan had already swam to the established position.
Cast the fishing net into the water as Qin Zhen said, and then he led the people to swim to the shore.
"Shall we wait for it to sink before pulling or what?" Zhao San from the east of the village hurriedly asked.
He was the first group of people in the village to go to the sea to catch fish, and as soon as this sentence came out, Qin Zhen knew that this person must have been a fisherman before.
"You can't sink to the bottom, pull it now."
The seaside is no better than the river, there are reef corals everywhere, just the broken net that I made out temporarily, the swimming fish on the sea surface are okay, and the bottom sinks and touches something hard.
Qin Zhen pulled the rope and shouted.
"Help pull!"
The villagers who remained on the shore immediately began to exert their strength.
More than a dozen people worked hard and pulled the rope.
"It's so heavy, I'm afraid there are fish!"
Zhao San was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly shouted.
He did work as a fisherman for a few years, and when he touched his hand, he had a number in his heart.
Hearing him say this, the villagers of the small fishing village immediately became energetic, and saw that the big net was getting closer and closer, but suddenly froze somewhere.
"I can't pull it! I'm afraid I'm hooking something! Zhao San shouted.
"We're here to help, too!"
The villagers of several surrounding villages also rushed up at this time, took the initiative to pull up the rope, and dragged them to the shore with Qin Zhen.
Liu Quan also went ashore at this time and immediately joined the team pulling the rope.
For a time, there were dozens of people on the shore dragging ropes and wrestling with the sea!
The sound of neat trumpets resounded across the beach.
The stagnant web also began to move slowly.
As the green vines emerged from the blue, Qin Zhen hurriedly rushed up and dragged the vines to the shore.
The rough sea began to flutter, and the scales of the fish reflected the afterglow of the setting sun in the waves.
"Out of the fish! Out of the fish! ”
Li Han's exclamation sounded in everyone's hearts.
I saw a large green net made of vines, full of fat sea fish!
A rough count shows that there are hundreds!
"I'm a good girl, I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen so many fish!"
"What about the strong man who said he wanted to eat the beach? Slippery! ”
"Big brother, I didn't expect this thing to really catch fish!" Mermaid exclaimed.
Brother Scar smiled.
The more fish he catches, the more he earns!
"Damn it, we're rich! It's got hundreds of fish, right? All transported to Jiangzhou City, enough for us to eat for half a year! As soon as he thought of the silver coming, Brother Scar's laughing ha came out, and he hurriedly kicked a few feet of his subordinates next to him: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you get over and collect the fish!? ”
At this time, Qin Zhen had already begun to count the sea fish from the net.
"Town, you're awesome!" Liu Quanxiao's folds came out, and he hugged Qin Zhen tightly, as if hugging his lovely and respectable father.
Not to mention more than 100 sea fish, it is 1,000 wen in silver!
In addition to the 100 wen sea money, the blood earns 900 wen!
Making money is still secondary, and the most important thing is that Qin Zhen provides a new possibility for their sad fishing career! With such nets, they no longer need to foolishly catch fish with their hands!
Go to the sea every day, easily get rid of poverty and get rich, and have enough food and clothing!
"This net still won't work."
Qin Zhen frowned.
He found that there was a big hole at the bottom of the net, and he had to catch hundreds of sea fish in this pocket, but because of the hole, I don't know how many fish slipped out in vain!
No, he's going to have to find a way to upgrade the material of the nets, and he's counting on this thing to catch sharks!
"Thank you for your help." After thinking about it, Qin Zhen did not forget the villagers who helped pull the net before: "Those who helped pull the net just now can pick a sea fish to go back!" ”
Without the help of these neighboring villagers, this net would not have been able to pull up.
This move attracted praise from the people around him.
Those who helped pull the net smiled and lowered their heads to pick the fish.
And those who didn't help regretted it and were extremely envious.
"You kid, you're getting better and better." Liu Quan said with a smile.
"It's not that Brother Liu, you taught it well!" Qin Zhen replied without hesitation.
At this time, Li Han's exclamation attracted everyone's attention.
"What do you do?"
I saw a large number of fish heads pouring in, and without saying a word, they began to grab fish from the net and put them in their wooden baskets.
Li Han angrily pushed one of the fishheads away.
"How the fuck do you dare to push me? It's the other way around! ”
The latter was annoyed and angry, and held a wooden stick to Li Han's head, and directly beat Li Han to the ground.
The sudden conflict took everyone by surprise.
Seeing Li Han being beaten, Qin Zhen immediately blew up.
He rushed forward and punched the fishhead in the lower abdomen.
"How the do you dare to hit my brother?! I'm going to kill you! ”
