Jiang Che smiled and understood why the old village chief asked him to release the red carp.
Actually, I don’t mean anything else. The older generation is more or less superstitious.
It is believed that red carp are the descendants of dragons and eating them will bring bad luck, and Huaxi is the most important water source for the village.
The old people believe that these mountains and waters are spiritual and should not be desecrated.
As human beings, we should respect the gods. It’s okay to eat ordinary carp.
Red carp should never be touched, and wild red carp is indeed quite rare.
Jiang Che actually had no intention of eating them, because he found that there was something wrong with these two red carps.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief. This red carp looks so beautiful, and I don't plan to eat it."
"But releasing them is not an option now. These two fish look sick."
Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, the other fish were jumping around lively.
Only these two red carps were lying there motionless, looking like they were about to die at any moment.
It is obvious that there is a problem. The weather is hot and bacteria are breeding in the water, which makes it easy to get sick.
"Really? Let me see."
The old village chief quickly squatted down, picked up the red carp and began to examine it.
I looked at the gills of the red carp and saw blood oozing from them. I also checked the anus of the red carp and saw yellow water oozing from it.
The old village chief frowned slightly and said without hesitation.
"Xiao Che, you're right. These two fish are indeed sick. Not only do they have rotten gills, but they also have gastrointestinal inflammation."
The old village chief still has some experience. When he was young, he raised fish in the village pond.
This knowledge was given to him by technicians from the county earlier.
"Ah, what should I do? Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Lingzhi, who was standing nearby, felt a little sorry when she heard this. After all, the two red carps were really beautiful.
It's such a pity to die like this.
"I'm not too sure, let's take him home and raise him first."
Jiang Che shook his head. Gastroenteritis was not a big deal, but cheek ulcers were more serious.
"This is the only way. You can take Xiao Che back home and raise him."
The old village chief nodded, then turned around and picked up all the fish on the ground.
Jiang Che's harvest was very rich. In addition to big fish, there were also many crabs and shrimps.
What surprised Jiang Che the most was that there were more than ten chopstick-long yellow croakers in the net.
This fish is really good. The meat is delicate and apart from a few large bones, there are almost no small bones on its body.
If used to make tofu soup, it tastes much more delicious than crucian carp tofu soup.
However, this fish is also quite dangerous, as it has three long sharp spines on its back.
If you get pricked, the wound will be burning with pain.
"Tang Tian, be careful! It's a yellow croaker. If you get pricked by it, it'll be troublesome."
Tang Tian also came over to help pick up the fish at this time, and Jiang Che couldn't help but remind her.
"Well, don't worry. I've eaten this fish before, but I've never seen one this big. It's scary."
Tang Tian smiled sweetly and prepared to grab the yellow croaker with her careful hands.
The fish bones on the back of the yellow croaker kept shrinking and standing up, making a squeaking sound.
Tang Tian was so scared that she wanted to catch him but didn't dare to.
"Let me do it. It's hard to catch because of the slime on its body."
Jiang Che looked at Tang Tian's helpless look and thought it would be better to do it himself.
There is a certain method to catching yellow croaker. You have to start from the head. If you grab the body, you will easily be injured by the fish bones.
Jiang Che caught all the fish in no time, but only put about half of them in his bag.
The bucket was already full, but there was still room for more than ten pounds of fish.
After thinking about it, Jiang Che pulled out a few thin grass roots from the grass to make a rope, and then passed it through the fish gills.
In this way, all the remaining fish were strung together, and then the grass roots were grabbed together from head to tail, and the string of fish was lifted up.
After all the big fish were caught, Jiang Che picked out a few small fish and threw them to Yuanbao and the other greedy guys.
After Yuanbao and his friends finished eating the fish, Xu Guotao and his family just got off the bamboo raft.
Just when Jiang Che was picking fish, Xu Guotao and his family followed Jiang Yunshan on a bamboo raft to Huaxi.
Judging from the smiling faces of the whole family, they obviously had a great time.
"Jiang Che, the scenery along the banks of your stream is really nice."
"The current isn't too fast. I think you could make this raft a little more refined, like installing some chairs and a roof."
“If someone comes to play in the future, maybe a lot of people will like this.”
After Xu Guotao came over, he immediately said with a smile.
When the old village chief heard this, his eyes lit up, it really seemed to be the case.
Now that the road is open, the village with such beautiful scenery can indeed be used as a tourist attraction.
"Xiao Xu, this is a great idea. I think it's very promising. What do you think, Xiao Che?"
The old village chief subconsciously looked at Jiang Che. When it came to the village's development issues, the old village chief would usually seek Jiang Che's opinion.
He knew that his knowledge was limited, so he should consult professionals on professional matters.
"Grandpa Village Chief, there's no rush for this. The roads in our village are open, but the houses haven't been repaired yet."
"When the villagers have money, let's repair the houses together. Once the infrastructure is in place, why worry that no one will come to visit?"
Jiang Che said with a smile.
"Xiao Che, you're right. Grandpa is the one who's anxious. Let's go home."
The old village chief laughed and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.
After fixing the bamboo raft, Dad Jiang Yunshan came over and walked behind with the bucket in his hand.
