(The beginning of the new book, the first chapter, a short paragraph of hundreds of words)
Volume 1 mundane red dust
1. A cold raft overnight
Winter.
The first quarter moon rises early, and when the moon sets, the sky will dawn.
At this time, the Zhouzhuang water town was still immersed in the vast morning mist, and only a hazy outline of the water town could be seen.
The river bank was silent, and the cold wind was as cold as a knife.
In a nest of crows at the top of a dead treetop, jackdaws froze in their nests, occasionally making a crow, and the night was particularly harsh.
Su Chen stepped on a small bamboo raft, and his little red hands grasped a bamboo pole that was a foot long, swaying and floating in the water, sliding into the river.
On the bamboo raft behind him, there is a fishing basket made of bamboo strips, a bamboo fishing lantern, and a pair of fishing nets.
From time to time, the water splashed lightly on the raft, wetting his straw and rattan shoes, and the icy water soaked through the chill of the skull. The cold wind blew, and the thin and thin body suddenly shivered.
Su Chen is the child of a poor fisherman family in Zhouzhuang.
The fisherman's life is difficult, the boat tax of the Gusu County Ya is already very heavy, coupled with the extortion of the gangs in the rivers and lakes from time to time, like two heavy boulders, pressing the Su family up and down.
My father and mother went to the big lake to fish every day, leaving early and returning late, which was only enough for a family of five to barely make ends meet.
Su Chen is still a twelve-year-old slender boy, but he is already very mature and sensible, and he wants to take advantage of the dawn, an hour before dawn, to catch some fish and shrimp in the river and sell some copper coins to make up for the family.
When the bamboo raft reached the river, he plunged a long bamboo pole deep into the silt at the bottom of the river and anchored it.
Su Chen rubbed his little hands that were almost stiff vigorously to warm himself up. He rolled up his sackcloth sleeves, took out flint and hay from his arms, and struck it more than ten times before he finally ignited a hay.
He hurriedly lit the bamboo oil lamp on the raft with hay, carried it with a small stick, and placed it on the edge of the raft, close to the water.
The light of the bamboo oil lamp was extremely dim, but it was the only light in this hazy and silent river.
Fish and shrimp are phototropic and are easily attracted by open flames at night.
If you sprinkle a little fish food such as fish grass leaves, earthworms and nest fragments as bait, it will naturally attract more fish and shrimp to come and find food.
"Lights lure fish" This is a fisherman's skill for fishing at night, and it is also Su Chen's best fishing technique.
After Su Chen did this, he tightened his thin linen shirt, squatted on the cold and soaked bamboo raft, held a pair of fishing nets, and patiently waited for the fish in the river to come to feed.
There are a lot of small fish and shrimp in the river, but they are not worth a few dollars.
The big man went to the Ximen Wharf Market in Gusu County to sell, and the small fish and shrimp full of a large fishing basket were only exchanged for two or three copper coins, which was barely enough for the fishermen to eat for a busy day.
What is worth it is a large fish weighing several pounds.
There is a deep-water lake of hundreds of miles in Lou County, near Zhouzhuang Water Township, called Dianshan Lake, the lake surface is high and the waves are urgent, and it is rich in large crucian carp.
If you catch a two-pound fish, you can sell it for five copper coins.
However, it is something that only the nobles of the county town and the inn often eat.
The fishermen of Zhouzhuang are reluctant to eat the big fish they catch.
It is usually transported to Gusu County and sold for copper coins, which are used to pay the boat tax of the county government. With a little copper money left, I went to exchange it for rice, salt and oil cloth, barely maintaining the livelihood of the family.
In addition, there are three treasures in the big lake: "silver spine saury, alabaster, and red-tailed prawn".
Thinking of these three precious fish, Su Chen's heart was warm.
A rare silver spine saury weighing only half a catty is sold to the largest restaurant in Gusu County, "Tianying Inn", and can be sold for a staggering price of 500 copper coins, which is almost worth the fishermen salvaging a whole boat of fish.
Su Chen often went to the Sky Eagle Inn in the county town with the fishermen to sell fish, and met the little guy who worked at the Sky Eagle Inn, and after three years of going back and forth, the two teenagers became good brothers who talked about everything, so they were familiar with the market of the county fish market.
It's just that these precious fish species are extremely difficult to catch, and hundreds of fishing boats go down to the lake every day, and maybe one or two of them can catch one of the three treasures.
Even old fishermen with decades of experience find it difficult to catch silver-spine saury in a large deep-water lake with a huge fishing net of several zhang.
If any fisherman is lucky enough to catch one, he must show off to all the fishermen in Zhouzhuang, and everyone wants to boast and envy themselves.
