Chapter 184: The Fish King
"Okay, you can try it if you want!" Anyway, no matter what the result is, he will protect his little sister well.
Xu Jinning took the bucket handed over by Xu Xiangdong, and without much hesitation, he fished it out into the river.
Will you be able to catch a fish this time?
Xu Jinning's heart accelerated and pounded.
It's just that as soon as this idea came out, Xu Jinning clearly felt movement coming from under his feet.
The movement was louder than the previous two times.
Even through the rain boots, Xu Jinning felt it.
Not only Xu Jinning, but even Xu Xiangdong and Xu Xiangbei next to her felt it.
Xu Jinning didn't know how to describe that feeling.
It's like, her bucket is attractive, and the fish are swimming into her bucket in all directions.
When this thought appeared in his mind, Xu Jinning was stunned.
No, it can't be!
It can't really be like that.
"I don't believe you'll be able to catch a full bucket of ...... this time."
The flower aunt on the side was a little impatient, and she didn't know if she was afraid that Xu Jinning would catch fish again.
So, not long after Xu Jinning's bucket went down, she came up with an arrow, bent down directly, and carried Xu Jinning's bucket up as she spoke.
Not to mention, Aunt Hua earns 8 points a day, and her strength is still not small.
No, she picked up the bucket as soon as she strained it.
When she picked it up, Aunt Hua felt the weight, but she felt that it should be just a bucket of water.
“…… Fish. ”
As soon as she finished her last word, the bucket came out of the water.
Not only Xu Jinning, Xu Xiangdong and them, but the eyes of everyone around them looked at them in unison.
That is, when looking at the contents of the bucket, everyone was dumbfounded.
Under the sun, the fish in the bucket are crowded, one by one, and they are about to be squeezed out of the bucket.
But the strange thing is that they are very well-behaved, and they can jump out of the bucket with a slight jump, but they just don't jump, none of them.
"Is it really a bucket of fish?"
Actually, Xu Xiangdong and Xu Xiangbei were also very puzzled, was it really all fish?
It looks similar, but it's probably unlikely.
So, Xu Xiangbei came over with a bucket, and Xu Xiangdong caught the fish one by one and threw them into another bucket.
one.
Two.
Three of a kind.
……
“…… Fifteen of a kind! ”
As the people read aloud, the fish in the bucket were also counted, and it was full of 15 fish!
The last one of them is still very large, three times the size of the other fish, and it is still a black fish!
That's right, it's a black fish that weighs about six pounds.
If it weren't for the fact that this six-pound black fish occupies a large area of the bucket, maybe this bucket contains more than just these 15 fish.
Of course, the other fish are not small, at least more than one catty, more than two catties.
"This fish must be our king of fish."
"Captain, the king of fish has appeared, the king of fish has appeared."
“……”
The crowd called out to the captain.
King of Fish?!
Xu Jinning hadn't really been able to catch so much from his bucket, and he had not yet reacted from such a big fish, when he heard the people around him talking about the king of fish, and he was still calling for the captain.
Xu Jinning was a little flustered.
This, what's going on.
"Ning Ning, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Xu Xiangdong quickly explained to Xu Jinning what the king of fish was.
It turned out that in previous years' fish catching activities, although everyone caught large and small fish in three days, the captain would select the largest fish among them, called the king of fish.
The captain will exchange this king fish with certain supplies.
Then, at noon on the second day after the end of the fish market, it is boiled into fish soup and distributed to every household.
In the past, when the Qinghe production team first emerged every spring, there was a saying.
That is the person who can catch the king of fish, and the blessed family.
And this big fish, known as the king of fish, is also known as the lucky fish.
The captain's approach is to bless everyone, and those who drink the fish soup will be healthy, safe and sound this year, and everything will go smoothly.
And the family that caught the king of fish also means that they can have meat to eat, clothes to wear, health, peace and blessings this year!
Of course, this is a saying that has been handed down from the past.
It belongs to those who have some feudal superstitions.
Now I must not let it be said.
Some people even say that anyone who is sick can be cured immediately as long as they take a sip of this blessed fish soup at this time.
This statement is not only circulated in the Qinghe production team, but also in other production teams in the vicinity.
Therefore, there were once people who secretly brought all kinds of things, just to exchange some fish soup with the captain, even if it was a mouthful.
As for whether anyone has succeeded in changing it, I don't know.
But this statement, whether it is the older generation or the younger generation, knows it in their hearts.
And although it can't be said explicitly, the practice of selecting the king of fish, boiling fish soup, and dividing fish soup has always been handed down and is done every year.
There was one last year, but the king of fish selected last year was only more than four catties.
Therefore, now that everyone sees that Xu Xiangdong took out of Xu Jinning's bucket, there are about six catties of black fish, and they only decide that this one must be this year's king of fish.
When Xu Jinning heard his eldest brother's explanation, he understood what was going on, and his heart settled down.
At this time, the captain also came.
When I saw this black fish, my eyes lit up.
He also reached for it.
And the bucket that was originally in Xu Jinning, and the well-behaved black fish in Xu Xiangdong's arms, struggled as soon as they arrived in the hands of the captain, and they were very clever, if it weren't for the captain's experience, maybe the slippery black fish would have jumped away.
Everyone was amazed when they looked at it.
That's a difference.
It's so obvious.
"Okay, this fish is good!" The captain didn't care much, on the contrary, the more clever and active the fish was, the more he liked it.
"If there is nothing bigger than this one in the future, then this is this year's king of fish."
The captain didn't expect that not long after he gave the order, someone would catch the king of fish so soon.
That's right, although the captain said so, he was actually sure in his heart that it should be impossible for a bigger black fish to appear in the future.
"To the east, you caught this black fish, it's amazing." Because he was picked up from Xu Xiangdong's arms just now, the captain should have thought that Xu Xiangdong had caught him.
"Captain, you're wrong, that's the sister of the Xiangdong boy, Ning Yatou caught it."
Before Xu Xiangdong came back, the people around him chattered to help answer.
"What is caught, it is fished, it is fished with a bucket."
"Captain, didn't you see it just now, the little girl who loves the country is amazing, it's amazing, that basket is a basket of fish, and a bucket is also a bucket full of fish!"
