Chapter 3 Fat Mandarin Fish
Carrying a bucket full of loaches out of the house, tonight is lucky, the moonlight will not be out of sight.
For fishing, you need to find a very good fishing spot.
Zhang Ze used a stick tied with nylon thread to slap the grass from time to time, so as not to have a snake hiding in it and not talking about martial arts and sneak attack.
Soon, he was on the northeast side of the village.
It is a favorite habitat for fish, and the chance of fish being hooked is naturally better than that of an open location.
Looking for a good fishing spot, Zhang Ze directly picked up the loach and sprinkled it into the water to make a nest.
The live loach will run a part of it, and this part of the run will cause fluctuations in the current, which is just right to attract all kinds of predatory fish to come and eat, so it is worth wasting some of them.
In fact, Zhang Ze also has a way to make the loaches not run, just soak them in white wine for more than ten minutes in advance, and the drunk loaches will obediently stop running in place.
But for his family, it is obviously a luxury to make a nest with white wine.
Now the fields are full of loaches, and it is worthless to catch a handful, and it is not distressing to run away, so there is no need to say much about how to choose.
Subsequently, Zhang Ze put on a pair of worn-out gloves from home, and there was even a big hole in the gloves.
But the loach was too slippery, and the nylon thread was not easy to cut his hands with gloves, so he would use it.
Grab a loach and use the hook to run it through the loach's back, so that the loach will be alive for a short time and will not die so quickly.
Then he picked up a small stone and tied it to the nylon thread to use as a plumb sinker, and after tying it up, he threw the hook bait in the place where he had just made the nest.
The coquettish swimming style of loaches in the water has long attracted the attention of some predators, and if it is a later generation, even if the loaches nest will have to wait before there are fish.
But when is it now, it is an era when all kinds of water resources are extremely exaggerated, and this is the time when the fish come out to feed.
No, the small stone sank into the water with the loach, and after only a short while, there was a violent pull from the nylon rope on Zhang Ze's index finger.
"I'm going, so fierce?"
A strong force came, and the nylon line jumped straight in an instant, obviously the fish in the water ate very fiercely, and it was a ruthless thing.
The fish swim around in the water, and the nylon thread swings back and forth to follow the fish.
After feeling it, Zhang Ze had a number in his heart.
The size of the fish was okay, but he felt that he could pull it back directly.
So he grabbed the nylon thread with both hands and began to pull it back, and after a short while, the fish was pulled to the surface, flapping its tail and struggling, making a rattling sound.
After another ten seconds, the fish was pulled to the shore by him, and was picked up by his mouth with the pliers he used to hold the hook today.
If you're targeting a big fish, it's necessary to have something like a fish controller.
Lift it directly with a rope, and the fish may unhook as soon as the tail flicks.
I have suffered many losses, and I have watched the fish break free from the hook and run away, resulting in poor sleep, which is a lesson of blood and tears.
The fish is not very large, estimated to be between one and a half catties and two catties.
It's just that this appearance doesn't seem right, Zhang Ze took a closer look through the moonlight, and was shocked when he saw the appearance of the fish.
The head of the fish is very pointed, there are markings on the body, and the fins fried up on the back are thick and pointed, this is actually a mandarin fish.
Is there mandarin fish in this river?
Zhang Ze really doesn't know very well, he used to do farm work and farming, and he was not a fisherman.
Later, I left my hometown to work hard and gradually fell in love with fishing, and I never came back.
I didn't expect to come fishing today, and I directly gave myself a big surprise.
Since ancient times, mandarin fish has always been a unique freshwater precious fish in our country, the egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the mandarin fish fat in the peach blossom flowing water.
The mandarin fish meat is delicious, there are no fine spines, it does not cost oil to steam, and there is no fishy smell.
If the fish is fat, you can also eat some oil and water, which is the most needed thing for people in this era, and it is deeply loved by everyone.
Such a famous fish, our country has begun to study artificial breeding technology in the seventies.
However, it was not until the mid-eighties that mandarin fish farming pilots began in the south.
In this era, everything is wild and natural, and there are no various protected animals, which is really friendly to him as a fisherman.
Mandarin fish like to hide in the cracks of stones and aquatic plants, and today there are many aquatic plants and rocky crevices in this location, which is indeed a very favorite perch for them, and it is not surprising to catch them.
Here comes the motivation!
Originally, Zhang Ze also wanted to catch some grass carp and sell them on the black market, and then buy some spices to cook a grilled fish for his family to eat.
Now that there are mandarin fish, that's a better choice.
If grass carp can be sold for five or six cents a catty, the retail price of mandarin fish should be about eight cents to one yuan.
Zhang Ze knew the prices of most freshwater fish and seafood in this era, but he really didn't know much about mandarin fish.
For the specific price, he still has to go to the market to inquire.
With a movement in his heart, the mandarin fish in his hand suddenly disappeared and appeared in the fishing space.
At the same time, the fishing space in my mind also gives a message.
[Successfully caught a mandarin fish with a weight of 1.83 catties and experience +7.] 】
Hey, he can also give the weight of the fish directly, so he doesn't even need a scale?
Zhang Ze was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be this kind of function, which would be much more convenient for him to sell fish in the future.
And one can have seven points of experience, so you can upgrade as long as a dozen fishing spaces, and it doesn't feel very difficult to upgrade.
Then Zhang Ze didn't waste time, and hurriedly hung up the loach and continued fishing.
This time the hook was faster, and it was a mandarin fish of more than two catties, and it was obvious that he had come to the mandarin fish nest.
For the next hour, he was able to catch a mandarin fish almost every five or six minutes, and he didn't catch any trash fish.
The mandarin fish is very fierce, and the place where it is located is generally not dared by the fish to come and prey on it.
Of course, fierce fish such as blackfish dare to prey on food, but there is a nest of mandarin fish in these waters, and even blackfish have to be intimidated.
In this hour, Zhang Ze's fishing space already has eleven mandarin fish between two and five catties swimming in the narrow space, and it is estimated that there are almost twenty-five catties or more.
In fact, one cubic meter of space is okay, and the largest fish box Zhang Ze has ever bought is 120 liters.
Length 105 cm, height 47.5 cm, width 44 cm.
Normally, if it is filled with fish, it can be almost a hundred catties if you count the ice cubes that have been laid.
One cubic meter is one thousand liters, and theoretically you can put about 1,000 catties of fish.
However, these units cannot be converted, and there is a certain amount of error.
It is also possible to raise fish in a special fishing space, otherwise the fish will probably die of lack of oxygen in it.
At present, the experience point has reached seventy-seven, and four more mandarin fish can be upgraded.
It's still early, and Zhang Ze has no reason to go back.
Re-hung the loach and threw it into the water, but this time I waited for a long time and no fish took the bait.
He had already noticed it when he was fishing just now, and the time interval between each hook was getting longer and longer.
It should be that the loaches have been eaten almost as well, and the effect of nesting has been lost.
So he took off his gloves and continued to scoop up the loaches and make nests, and then washed his hands and put on his gloves and continued fishing.
This time I waited for a while, and suddenly, a huge pull came, Zhang Ze didn't pay attention, and the nylon thread almost came out of his hand.
Fortunately, the nylon thread was tied to the stick, and he grabbed the stick in time to prevent the fish from running away.
