After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 189 Chapter 180 Fishing

Meixue was at a loss as she watched the floating floats in the river.

Should she take up the pole or not?

After hesitating for a long time, she finally pulled it upwards. When the fish broke out of the water, Mei Xue suddenly felt light in her hand.

She looked down to the bottom. There was no bait or fish on the hook.

"This...you said what happened to the fish just now? It was clearly bitten, why did I pull it down and there was no fish?"

He Yu smiled and explained to Meixue, "The float is the eyes of our fishermen. After the float falls into the water, the following situations will occur, namely lying flat, turning over, sinking, standing and stabilizing. When stabilized, the lead pendant, hook bait, Floating forms a static balance! If an external force intervenes, the existing balance will be broken, and many different situations will appear, we call this drifting direction."

"Some fish seem to have bitten the hook, but it is actually just a false floating direction. Many fish may cause other problems on the float when they grab the bait. , this kind of floating appearance is full of big fish and half water."

"There is also a situation where you just throw it down, and then the buoy starts to move little by little. You feel that it is moving and then it doesn't move. In fact, the small fish below are trying to eat the bait. This kind of fish is very small. One possibility is that a large number of fish schools enter the nest, hit the float, rub bait, and hit the line at the bottom of the water, and the greater the fluctuation and shaking of the float in the water, the greater the number of fish schools.”

Although Mei Xue didn't know much about this, and He Yu said she would forget after a while, but she could roughly understand that even if the buoy moved, it would take a while, because the fish at the bottom might not have fully bit the bait.

"Girl, don't rush and take your time. I have already caught a lot of fish here. It doesn't matter if you only catch one or two. We will have enough to eat by then!"

Xueer was a little unconvinced, she also wanted to catch more fish, so that she could eat more, and she could show off in front of Uncle Yu that she caught so many fish for the first time.

It's a pity that the truth severely pinned her down on the ground, because she was inexperienced in fishing at the same time, so even if the fish bit the bait, she couldn't pull it up.

She almost pulled it up several times, but the fish fell again the moment it broke out of the water, probably because the fish didn't bite the hook tightly!
"It's time to catch the fish! Brother Erzhu!"

"coming!"

Xu Erzhu hurried over, took the fish off the hook, and put it in the woven cage.

When releasing it this time, he deliberately took the cage ashore to have a look.

"That's right, Xiaoyu, you've caught almost half of the cage, and we can call it a day after fishing for a while, but does he still have any fish in the cage you put down before? Did any fish come in? Or let's wait until tomorrow morning to collect it." net?"

"It's all right! If you are in a hurry to eat, we can collect the net after fishing. There should be some small fish in it! Just now I also sprinkled a little corn on the place where the net was put! This fragrant corn will attract these fish to go to the net. Swim inside! Once you swim in, these fish can't escape with their wings!"

"How stupid do you think these fish are? Why does it still swim into it even though it knows it's a trap!" Mei Xue looked at the fish in the cage, a little puzzled.

"Of course, because the eyes of these fish are different from ours! And the thinking of fish is incomparable with that of humans!"

"Otherwise, how can people stand at the top of the food chain?"

Mei Xue nodded ignorantly, although she didn't understand, she still answered He Yu.

Fishing is a very time-consuming and particularly boring thing, but in the process of fishing, the result will come from waiting.

It's also a great way to relax sometimes.

Run away if you have nothing to do, come to the river to catch a few fish, take them home to cook fish soup for home, or for kittens and puppies.

Of course, in this village, these fish meats are full of protein. No one will spare livestock, not even the bones. The remaining bones can be used for frying, calcium supplementation, or soup.

The current fish school gathers more and more because of the bait scattered, and all the fish gather under the float. They swim back and forth at the bottom, and now the fish school under the water can be seen with the naked eye.

"Uncle Yu, look how there are more and more fish here, your float is full of fish, and there are a few on my side, almost out of the water!"

Sure enough, when he saw groups of fish gathered under the float, the float sank immediately, and then plunged into the bottom of the water completely, so he pulled the fishing rod quickly, and suddenly he felt a wrinkle in his hand, and his whole body The man stood up, leaned back, and made a posture of lifting a fishing rod.

This fish was even bigger than the previous fish, about four fingers wide. The fish was swimming in the water, while He Yu was pulling on the shore.

And this fish never broke out of the water, only swimming back and forth under the water.

If the fish is allowed to struggle a few more times, it is estimated that the fish will get off the hook and swim into the water, so He Yu hastened to loosen and pull.

He used a tense sense of rhythm to let the fish relax first, and when it was tired from swimming, He Yu could easily lift it up.

"Uncle Yu, why don't you pull this fish up?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to pull it up when the fish is tired? Pull it up now. This fish, the more you pull it, the better it swims. The water is its world, and with the help of the water, it can swim as fast as possible." Farther and stronger, relying on the strength of the tail and the brute force when it jumps down, it is very possible to break free from the hook!"

So He Yu used the method of one piece and one relaxation to let the fish swim first, and then pull them up easily when they were tired from swimming.

Sure enough, after a while the fish went downstream, swimming, He Yu easily pulled up, although the fish still had the strength to break free, but its strength was far from that of Yu Yu.

You can drag it up along the river bank bit by bit, and when it is almost on the land, it lifts the line, takes the fish down, and puts it in the woven bamboo cage.

"Uncle Yu's fish is so big, it's about the size of seven of my fingers!"

Not only that, but the tail of this fish is also glowing red, its scales are particularly beautiful, and its body is slightly golden.

"What kind of fish do you think this is? Why is it completely different from the fish next to it? The fish next to it are all the same color, and they are all silvery! Why does this fish have golden yellow and red besides the beautiful silver?"

"Is this the legendary mermaid?"

In the past, Xueer heard that mermaids are very beautiful, and their tails are especially famous, but she didn't know what a mermaid looked like, and the fish tail in front of her was very beautiful, so she thought it was a mermaid.

"Little fool, this is not a mermaid, but a carp. There are many kinds of carp. Some carp are red all over, and some carp exude golden light. Of course, under the premise of sunlight, their scales will refract under the sunlight. Very beautiful colors!"

"Such a beautiful fish, wouldn't it be a pity if we eat it?"

He Yu saw Xueer's intentions and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Mei Xue hesitated, and finally told He Yu, "I want to raise it, if it grows bigger, the fish will lay small fish, and if there are small fish, they can be raised big, can they be raised again? Breed new small fish, so that we will have more and more fish, and we will have more fish than we can eat!"

Such a cycle is like a chicken laying an egg, an egg laying a chicken, a chicken laying an egg, an egg laying a chicken, is it the chicken laying the egg or the egg laying the chicken?

"Little guy, your idea is quite good! When the time comes, you can raise the fish you catch in the stone pond first!"

"However, there is a disadvantage that it is kept in a pond. Its water is still and there is no fluidity. The fish will lack oxygen. For this kind of crucian carp, its survival rate is high, but it is not easy to grow. I want it to be small. Cubs, it is impossible to lay small cubs in stagnant water."

"Then what should we do? Uncle Yu!" Mei Xue asked.

"If you really want these fish, you can build a fish pond by yourself. A fish pond like this should be several meters wide. Another big project is to raise fish in the fish pond, but the cost is very high. You can also dig a small pond at home to raise fish!"

"You can put the fish you can't finish eating in the fish pond. Even if the water has no fluidity, it's easier to live than if you put it in the stone pond!"

Mei Xue thought about it, and sighed, "You said this is another huge project, and the ground needs to be dug, so I'd better keep it in the pool!"

"You little guy, don't you want to raise fish? Why don't you want to now? It's so simple to build a new pond. When you have a machine in the future, digging the pond will be much faster. When you make money in the future If you don’t need money, you can buy one, it’s labor-saving and convenient!”

Xue'er pouted, put her hips on her hips, and said arrogantly, "Then I can only wait until I have money in the future. As for these fish, I will keep them in the pond first. When I get unhappy, I will eat them all." Lose!"

He Yu took the fish one after another, taking them while talking to Xueer, and took several fishes after going back and forth.

Not only did He Yu's fishing rod move, but even Xiao Ling's side was constantly catching fish. Instead, it was Xue'er's fishing rod, which was held by Mei Sanniang, and Mei Sanniang would throw stones beside the float from time to time. , so where can I get fish.

But he didn't care, after all it was far away, Mei Sanniang wanted to throw stones into the river and let her play, taking advantage of her current appearance.

"Uncle Yu, you are floating!"

Just as Xueer finished speaking, her eyes drifted to another direction, which was exactly where Xiaoling was, and her float also moved.

Xue'er roared excitedly, "This side is moving!"

Not only that, even at Mei Sanniang's place, the float went up and down.

"Ah, my mother's side is also moving, you can see that the float over there is moving!"

Xu Erzhu followed Xue'er's gaze, and sure enough, Mei Sanniang's float also moved. Although Mei Sanniang was playing there, it didn't affect the fish below to bite the hook.

"This way! This way! The float here is moving!"

"Uncle Yu's float is also moving!"

"Sister Xiaoling's float also moved!"

Suddenly everyone's floats moved, and the frequency of the movements was almost the same.

"Uncle Yu!"

He Yu stared at the float with all his attention, his hands were already touching the fishing rod, and he was ready to pull the fishing rod up at any time.

At the same time, after waiting for the buoy to move a few times, He Yu immediately stood up, lifted the fishing rod, and the fish broke out of the water. He thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be a numb fish the size of a little finger.

"Hey, it's a barb fish!"

He took the little fish down and put it back in the river.

"He Yu, why did you put the fish you caught back? Is it because the fish is too small? It's not enough to fit between your teeth!" Mei Xue felt a little pity when she saw the fish she had caught was put back into the river.

"This kind of fish will never grow up, only this big. Moreover, when fishing, this kind of small fish is the most likely to disturb the fisherman's illusion. You think it is biting the hook, thinking it is a big fish, but when you look at it, it turns out It’s a small fish, if your bait is too big, the fish won’t be able to eat it, you can only sip it bit by bit, and your float will keep moving.”

"This kind of numb fish is really troublesome. If there are too many numb fish in the bottom, I don't think you can catch any big fish. You have to enlarge this bait!"

"You said you didn't mean that changing to a larger bait would cause it to sip little by little, and the float would keep moving, so why did you change to a larger bait?"

"Fool, like this kind of fish, it will only bite bit by bit. The change that affects the float is not very big, but the frequency will be very high. As long as we see the float moving with high frequency, we don't care about it!"

"Look at your mother!"

He Yu pointed to Mei Sanniang. Mei Sanniang was considered to be Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteer who took the bait. She made trouble like this, and the fish came up. It was really a blind cat and a dead mouse.

"Your mother is really lucky, that fish is not too small!"

Xu Erzhu took down the fish and showed it to Xueer. The fish was about the size of three fingers.

"My mother is so good, it's my first time fishing, and I caught such a big fish, Xue'er is not convinced!"

"But who told Niangqin to be so powerful! Niangqin will continue to work hard!"

Although Xue'er was a little unconvinced, she was happy when her mother was happy. When her mother lifted a big fish, it meant that she also dropped a big fish.

"It's really good! I caught so many fish today, and then I can make a crucian carp in cold sauce! Cook another crucian carp soup, sweet and sour carp! Not bad!" Xiao Yu has already thought about how to cook these fish, keeping the meat quality the best Tasty state.

"We'll call it a day after fishing for a while!" He Yu told everyone.

"Okay! I'll go home for dinner later!"

Several people chatted happily by the river, but they didn't know that there was a woman watching them not far away.

The woman clenched her fists tightly, looked angrily at the people by the river, and finally her eyes fell on Mei Sanniang.

Her hatred for Mei Sanniang did not know where it came from, but because of an unintentional move, she seemed to hold a grudge against this woman not far away.

"Mei Sanniang... so what about the first village flower? It's not that no one wants it! How can a widow live so freely! There are noble people to help! A pitiful look every day, blogger Eyeballs, how disgusting! Crazy and so annoying! What a scourge!"

The woman left behind a word and left here angrily.

"Mei Sanniang, wait for me..."
