Chapter 138 Catch a Fish by the Way

The children were so happy that they no longer had to eat vegetarian food. Looking at the salted fish on the table, they felt that it was a good meal. They all ate happily and noisily.

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was better to eat salted fish with rice. After eating vegetarian food for a week, his mouth was full of tears.

After finishing lunch, he loaded the floor cage net onto the cart, along with the newly made ones, and put them down later.

We haven't set up the nets for a week, and everyone has suffered a lot. After the ceremony, the villagers who set up the cage nets and the Korean nets all went out to sea to launch the nets after dinner. As for the trawlers, they had to wait until night.

The fishing boats in their village basically use these three types of nets. The trawl net is also a single-boat trawl net. There is no double-boat trawl net. There are also hand-thrown nets, which are a little more tiring, but the cost is low.

After loading everything onto the cart, he said to Lin Xiuqing, "I'm going to put out the net first, and tomorrow we'll go shopping in town."

"Okay, go and do your work."

Just as he was about to go out, he hesitated, turned around and rummaged around in the utility room where firewood was kept at the back door, and found a simple fishing rod that he had made before, which was just a piece of bamboo more than one meter long, fishing line, Fishhook.

But it took too long, and the fishhook became rusty and unusable, and easily broke. So he temporarily found a super thick needle for sewing sacks, lit a candle, burned it red, and used pliers to bend it into a hook.

"Dongzi, what are you doing?" The old lady stood aside and asked curiously, watching him doing all sorts of things.

"I thought that it would not be a waste to set up the ground cage. I wanted to try to get a fishhook to see if I could catch some fish. Otherwise, I haven't been out to sea for a few days and there would be no fresh fish to eat at night."

"Then what should I use to catch? You can't use earthworms to catch marine fish, otherwise you can find them just by digging in the vegetable field."

"I know, I'll grab a handful of dried cabbage and try it later."

"I'll pour you a pot of tea and take it with you to save you from thirst." The old lady felt sorry for her little grandson.

Ye Yaodong did not brush off the old lady's kindness. After the fishhook was hung, he rolled up the fishing line, took the teapot with him, and went to the house to grab a small handful of dried vegetables and put it in his pocket.

Lin Xiuqing watched him coming in and out and asked quickly: "What are you doing? Did you forget to bring something?"

"Nothing, I'm leaving." He threw the fishing rod onto the trolley, put the teapot on, and pushed the trolley away quickly. He could still go out while the tide was still high.

After he walked away, Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said to Lin Xiuqing: "It seems that A Dong is getting more and more diligent. He went to put the net after lunch."

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "If we don't work harder, how will we support our family in Hukou? We will move to a new home in a few days. We can no longer rely on my parents. If we don't stand up on our own, the three of us will all suffer from the northwest wind."

Sister-in-law Ye glanced at her belly secretly, "Maybe it's because some men grow up late."

She turned away to avoid Aunt Ye's eyes. She had not seen her for so long, and she was already sure that she was pregnant. She didn't like people staring at her belly all the time, which made her feel very insecure.

"Please leave the bowls to me today and I'll wash them. My eldest brother is going to sea with dad at night, so you have to go buy things for your new home in the afternoon. Let's make an exchange and you'll be here tomorrow at noon."

“That’s okay, let’s change it.”….

The three sisters have a clear division of labor. Each of them cleans the dishes and does the cooking. They can help occasionally. After all, except for fish, most other seafood is boiled, and stir-frying vegetarian dishes is also very trouble-free.

Lin Xiuqing took the bowl from Mrs. Ye's hand, then cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Ye Yaodong pushed the trolley all the way to the dock. On the way there, he would meet villagers he knew to say hello and ask if he had eaten. Going to put the net on?

He always smiled and nodded.

The pier was originally full of boats, but now there are fewer boats. A few floating boats can still be seen on the sea in the distance. Everyone is diligently going to the sea.

I don’t know if there will be more fish in the sea if there is no fishing for a few days.

There were also boats releasing nets in the distance. He deliberately spaced them apart, then opened the nets one by one and slowly lowered them into the sea. He rowed while releasing the boat. It was indeed a bit troublesome for one person.

After all the nets were released, he remembered that today seemed to be the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, a neap tide. But it is of no use to them. The sea water does not rise high or fall low, and the tidal range is minimal. It is not suitable for fishing on isolated islands.

Ye Yaodong rowed the boat for some distance, then stopped and took out the simple fishing rod he brought with him before going out. He hadn't fished for many years, so he wanted to give it a try today.

By the way, take out a handful of dried cabbage from your pocket, throw it into a bucket and make some seawater bubbles. Try one of the dried vegetables first. If it's not easy to adjust, you can only go back to the ground cage to see if there are any small fish. The shrimp ran in.

He hung the already soft dried cabbage on the fishhook without exposing the tip of the hook, looked at the sea and threw it casually, and the fishhook gradually sank.

He waited patiently, but after waiting for ten minutes, he saw no movement. He lifted the fishhook and took a look, and found that the vegetables were gone.

Depressed, he probably accidentally dropped it when soaking in sea water, so he took another one and hung it on the fishhook. If that didn't work, he would go to the ground cage to catch live small fish and shrimps as bait. Live bait was definitely effective. very good.

After hanging the bait this time, he stretched his neck and looked at the sea level with a high degree of concentration. After waiting for only five minutes, he felt the fishhook sinking a little, and he was very surprised.

coming!

He stood up excitedly and pulled up the fishing rod. Unexpectedly, there was a black sea bream on it, lifted in mid-air, and the fish tail was still swinging.

He immediately beamed with joy, the black sea bream was ready to be steamed.

He took an empty bucket, filled it with sea water, and then unhooked the fish and put it into the bucket. "It looks a little small, as if it's less than a pound. Let's catch a few more."

Looking at the Dancai in the bucket, I feel like I just caught less, so I can only catch them first and then look at them.

He hooked up another bait, changed the direction and threw it into the sea again. After a while, he was hooked again. He happily lifted it up again. This time it was a red-headed fish.

"You can catch a few more fish and put some tofu and shredded radish in them to make fish soup."

The red-headed fish is very beautiful, and its red color is particularly eye-catching. Not only is its head red, but its entire body is bright red. Its big head is extremely disproportionate to its slim figure. Because its figure is so beautiful, it is also known as "Red Lady". ….

The head is big and the spines are hard, but the meat tastes good. If you make a milky white fish soup, it is still very delicious.

There is no need to sell it. This fish is extremely cheap, cheaper than dragon head fish. It is only suitable for eating by yourself.

After two fish were put on the rod in succession, Ye Yaodong's confidence greatly increased and he immediately hung up another bait. The result was another red-headed fish.

Having a harvest is a happy thing, and he will not be disappointed. This fish is cheap and can barely make up a bowl with the one just now. He doesn't have high requirements, as long as he can eat it in one bite.

It would be best if he could catch two or three more fish. With this thought in his mind, he started to bait and flick the hook again.

It seems to be the season for redhead fish recently. I was just thinking about it casually, but I didn’t expect that I actually got several fish hooked one after another.

Looking at the seven or eight fish jumping alive in the bucket, he was very satisfied.

There were not many Dancai in the other bucket, only five or six. He planned to finish fishing, then go to the ground cage to collect a few fresh animals, and then change fishing spots to continue fishing. Anyway, time Still early.

He hung up the bait again, and when he felt the movement of the fishing rod, he lifted it up. Unexpectedly, he seemed to lift the rod too early this time, and the fish ran away!

He leaned over and looked down, and saw that it seemed to be a yellow fish. Unfortunately, the only one caught in front was a black fish, and all the others were red-headed fish.

Feeling a little regretful that he was run away, he simply slid the boat out another twenty or thirty meters to see if he could catch something else?

The red-headed fish can be eaten twice, which is enough!

After moving to a nest, he re-baited. After a fish was taken away, he paid more attention this time. There was movement on the hook, so he waited a little longer before lifting the rod.

"Skinned fish? Not young yet?"

He estimated that it weighed about a pound and a half, so he took it off with a smile and threw it into a bucket. It can be used to dry, peel and dry fish, or braise it in a bowl at night.

There were three more baits left, so he continued fishing.

As a result, two more red-headed fish were caught one after another. Maybe there are really many red-headed fish recently, and more than a dozen were caught.

On the last shot, he was looking forward to seeing if he could catch anything else, but he didn't expect a yellow wither to take the bait!

He happily untied it and muttered: "What's mine is mine after all, why didn't I still catch it!"

Who cares if he is the one who just ran away? Anyway, he just thought it was the one that ran away.

This one is quite big, almost 2 pounds. It can be steamed in a bowl with the black sea bream, which is enough for the whole family.

After throwing it into the bucket, he shook it and saw a bright red bucket. The harvest was very gratifying!

Maybe you can invite other people to fish together next time. Fishing alone is a bit boring. There is no one to share my joyful mood. I feel like I am talking to myself when I want to say something. I can only hold back and occasionally say a few words.

He glanced at the sun that had already set in the sky but was still dazzling. He felt that it was still early and it would not be too late to go back after the sun went down.

He put the fishing rod on the boat and rowed the boat to the sea where the cage was placed.

It has only been down for more than an hour, so it is impossible to find anything. Just a few small fish and shrimps can be used as bait.

He randomly selected a buoy and set up the net. As expected, the first net contained only a few small fish and shrimps. He could count them all on his ten fingers. Fortunately, they were all alive.

He pulled up a whole row of ground cages, but to his surprise, the last net actually contained a bass weighing about 2 pounds, which was a huge profit!

He picked the bass into the bucket he just fished in the sea, and poured the rest into the empty bucket to use as bait. There were about 20 small fish, and one or two shrimps, which was enough. He might not be able to catch all the fish. Call it a day and go home. .
