"Oh my god, Ye Chu, how did you catch fish like this? You've already caught a bucket of fish, but I didn't catch a single fish."
Ning Xiyue squatted beside Chen Yechu's bucket and looked at the fish swimming in it curiously. The crucian carp's back and color did not look like those of farmed feed fish. It should be a wild fish here.
To be honest, she was just listening to gossip and left the fishing rod to her second brother. She hasn't gone back to take a look yet.
"There's no real way. I just sit here and watch the float. Every time it moves, I pick up the rod and there's a fish. Not a single one escapes."
Chen Yetu said with a smile on his face, while looking carefully at the fishing float in front of him.
Ning Xiyue looked along her fishing rod, and as soon as her eyes fell on the float in the ice hole, she saw her float suddenly drop. She stood up excitedly, even more excited than Chen Yechu, the person involved.
He spoke in a low voice for fear of scaring away the fish, but his tone couldn't conceal his excitement and anticipation.
"Ah, Ye Chu, your float has gone down. Did you catch a fish? I can't see the float anymore, Ye Chu!"
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yechu saw all the fishing floats being dragged underwater. He quickly picked up the fishing rod and pulled it up. Feeling the force of the fish pulling below, Chen Yechu exerted great strength, but there was still great resistance below.
She knew the fish below must be something special, and her eyes lit up with excitement as she shouted, "It's a big one, Xiyue, come and help me pull it up."
"Here I come, here I come."
Ning Xiyue, who had been eager to help, quickly stood beside Chen Yechu after hearing his voice, and together they held the fishing rod and pulled it up.
"Huo, the fish down there is quite strong. It must be a big one. We can't let it get away."
Feeling the pull of the fish, Ning Xiyue steadied her lower body and even used Tai Chi to pull the fish up.
With Ning Xiyue joining in, it was still very easy to lift the fish. He listened to Chen Yechu's fishing techniques and slid the fish along.
After a while, the fish slipped out from under the ice and into the ice hole, and the big bluish-white fish could be seen looming underwater with the naked eye.
"I saw it, I saw it, it's a grass carp." Chen Yechu shared excitedly, then looked at the net bag beside him and had an idea: "Xiyue, can you pull it out by yourself? I want to use the net bag to scoop it out."
"Sure, you go scoop it out, I can handle it by myself."
Ning Xiyue looked at the big fish in the ice hole, then saw that the curvature of the fishing rod had reached the curvature of the bridge hole, and the restless power came to a halt.
If she hadn't been afraid that the fishing rod, fishing line and fish hook would be broken, she would definitely use all her strength to pull it up, leaving it no chance to struggle.
But it was quite interesting to slowly play with the fish, and it allowed her to satisfy her fishing addiction.
"Xiyue, pull it up a little, we're almost there. Yes, move to the side." Chen Yechu reached into the ice cave with the net bag and gave Ning Xiyue feedback at the same time.
Ning Xiyue listened to her and adjusted the position of the fish.
I don’t know if the fish was tired or what, but it no longer moved around, as if it was resigned to its fate, allowing her movements to pull it, reducing the underwater resistance a lot.
With the cooperation of the two, Chen Yechu easily put the fish net into the net bag. Then the two of them exerted force at the same time, and a big grass carp broke out of the water.
Ning Xiyue finally saw the size of the fish they had been trying to catch for over twenty minutes. She smiled and said, "This fish is really big. It must weigh at least ten kilograms."
It was the first time she caught such a big fish. Although it was Chen Yechu who caught it and she helped to pull it up, it also made her very happy. She could brag for the rest of her life that she had caught a grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms.
"It's really big. One fish is worth the whole bucket of fish I have. Do you think this fish would be delicious in spicy fish fillets?"
Chen Yetu couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. The opening of the net bag in his hand was deformed by the fish. After getting away from the ice hole, he quickly put the net bag on the ice surface.
"It must be delicious. This fish looks very plump and delicious. You can have several dishes out of it. Eat it however you like."
Ning Xiyue was wondering if her second brother had caught any fish while she was away. She had to go back and fish seriously. She didn't want to come here without catching any fish. She couldn't let the fish feast become a pipe dream.
After hearing what Ning Xiyue said, Chen Yechu had an idea for the fish. He said happily, "Then I'll use the head and bones to make soup, and the body to braise and cook."
At this time, the grass carp began to jump on the ice as if it was struggling to survive, and it jumped happily.
Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu were also very happy. One put down the fishing rod and the other went over to hold the fish. Ning Xiyue squatted down to take the hook out of the fish's mouth. After moving the fish's mouth open, she didn't see the hook, nor did she see any hooks in the fish's gills on either side.
He lifted the fishing line and felt the position of the hook, a little surprised: "Oh, the hook was eaten by it, no wonder it can't escape."
"It must have swallowed the bait in the first place."
Chen Yechu took a small wooden stick and stuck it into the fish's mouth to poke it, but still couldn't get it out. "Looks like I have to go back and cut open its belly with a knife to get the hook out."
As he said that, he put down the fish in his hand and went to get a bucket to pack his things. As he packed, he said, "Xiyue, why don't you come to my place to fish? There are still a lot of fish here. I'll go back first."
"Aren't you fishing anymore? I have a knife here that can cut it open first." Ning Xiyue said as she looked at Chen Yetu who was cleaning up skillfully.
"No more fishing, this is enough. I'm going to go back and cook the rice and fish. I have to eat this big fish for lunch today."
Chen Yechu emptied the water in the bucket, picked up his things and stood up to leave. After taking a step, he turned around and said to Ning Xiyue, "By the way, Xiyue, you can use the dough I gave you. I think fish like it very much."
