Chapter 535: Fishing in the Long River



In the morning, his father went to the company to collect dry goods and the house was cleaned up. Wan Feng came out of the house bored. As soon as he reached the street entrance, he saw Jin Xingbin's father Jin Hongcai riding a bicycle out of the house.

"Uncle Jin, are you going to the river?"

Jin Hongcai is a professional fisherman in summer and a professional hunter in winter. He is the only employee in the company who does not participate in the company's work.

"Come with me to the river to fish. I can't find anyone."

"No! If your son doesn't go, it must be bad news. I'm not going."

There is a kind of big yellow mosquito by the river. It is simply a fighter among mosquitoes, and it is active all day long. Other mosquitoes will not come out until night, but these damn mosquitoes sometimes come out for a stroll during the day. If you are bitten by it, a bump the size of a five-cent coin will appear. Don't think I don't know.

"My son Xingbin has to stay home to look after the pigs, so he can't leave. You can just go and help me shake the net."

Wan Feng was a little hesitant. He hadn't been to the riverside to take a look since he came back this time, but it would be fine to go and take a look.

"Okay, but you have to come back in the afternoon. I can't spend the night with you by the river feeding mosquitoes."

"We'll be back in the afternoon."

So Wan Feng jumped on Jin Hongcai's bicycle and rushed to the riverside.

"Uncle Jin, guess who I met in Harbin when I came back?"

"Can you still meet acquaintances in Harbin?"

"We used to have quite a few Harbin youths in our 31st Company."

"Wang Changlin?"

"I'm not very familiar with him."

"That's Jiang Ming. His family and yours lived across the street from each other back in the 31st, so they should be very familiar with each other."

"You guessed right, it's him. He's buying breakfast every day in an alley near the train station. He also said he'd come hunting with you this winter."

Jin Hongcai became excited when he heard about hunting: "Great! I was just worried that hunting alone in winter would be boring. If he comes, we will dare to poke the bear cave."

When Wan Feng heard this, he said in his heart, "Oh my god! He's looking for death by poking a bear's hole."

Bears hibernate in the winter and will not come out easily even if the sky falls outside. If you want to get them out, you have to poke them with a pole. They will only come out if you make them angry.

The most valuable parts of a bear are its gallbladder and its paws. If you just want its paws, you can just kill it in its cave. But if you want its gallbladder, you have to make it angry. A bear is most courageous only when it is furious. It is commonly known as the golden gallbladder and is the most valuable.

However, if a bear is disturbed from its cave in winter, its anger will be unusually high.

Not to mention a bear, even if you lift up someone's warm bed in winter, he might get angry.

When a bear is enraged, it's almost a fight to the death. Either it crushes you to death or you beat it to death.

If you shoot a bear in the vitals when it is angry and take out its gallbladder as quickly as possible, you will get a golden gallbladder, which will weigh about two taels after drying and can be sold for several hundred yuan at the time.

But if you don't kill it, this guy will jump up and crush you into a pancake with one butt, and one slap will be so severe that even your mother won't recognize you.

Wan Feng shook his head. Why don’t these hunters just hunt pheasants when they have nothing to do? Why do they have to hunt bears? If there are tigers in the mountains, would they dare to try to scam the tigers?

There is a sandy beach facing Dagonianggou on the bank of Longjiang River.

It is not easy to find a beach on the edge of Dragon Realm. Sometimes you may not see a beach even if you walk more than ten miles along the shore.

At least in the hundreds of miles of waterway from Hongmaoji to Sijitun and then to Wujiazi upstream, Wan Feng remembered that there were only four sandy beaches. The beach they were standing on was the only one between the three brigades of Sijitun Dalinzi and Xiaohualin.

There were more than ten tiny boats moored on the beach.

Fishing by boat here does not mean that the boats can just run around in the river and cast nets at will, except for those casting small nets.

These boats all use a kind of fishing net called a tang net. The front of the tang net has large meshes with eight or ten meshes inserted, and the back has small meshes with two or three meshes inserted.

The so-called "cha ji cha ji" is the most common and rough term used by riverside fishermen, based on how many fingers can be inserted into the mesh of the net.

The one that can fit one finger is called "Cai Yi" (insert one net), the one that can fit two fingers is called "Cai Er" (insert two nets), and so on. The larger the number, the larger the mesh.

The traversing net is usually more than dozens of meters long, with large mesh nets in the front for big fish and small mesh nets in the back for small fish. It is a very effective way of fishing.

This waterway is the only one in the area that can be used to cast nets, and only one boat can go down the river at a time.

When the boat goes down the river, it first rows to the center of the river and then throws down a large plastic pot. A long rope is tied to the handle of the plastic pot. The rope is about thirty or forty meters long and one end is connected to the fishing net.

There were two people on the boat, one rowing and the other lowering the net. By the time the boat reached the shore, the fishing net was already lowered.

At this time, the fishing boat with the fishing net tied to it drifted downstream, drifting for several miles, and when it reached a place, it began to collect the net.

Similarly, one person rows the boat while the other collects the net, regardless of the fish in the net. After collecting the net, they row to the shore to clean it up.

It takes more than an hour to cast a net. There are a total of nine fishing boats in Sijitun, Dalinzi and Jinhongcai. From morning to night, it is considered a good thing for one boat to catch two nets of fish a day.

On the shore, there were some fishmongers from Wuxian County waiting for the boat to dock. They were buying this kind of fish for one cent, this kind of fish for one and a half cents, and this kind of fish for two cents.

These dealers mainly sell the fish they bring back to several restaurants in the county town. If they can't sell them, they will take them to the farmers' market to sell.

The fish in Longjiang River are collectively called three flowers, five Luo and eighteen seeds.

The three flowers are Aohua, Breamhua and Yuhua; the five Luo are Zheluo, Faro, Yaluo, Huluo and Tongluo.

There are more eighteen kinds of fish, all of which are with seeds, such as island fish, seven-mile float fish, ox tail fish, carp fish, grass root fish, crucian carp seeds, silver carp fish, croaker fish, catfish balls, dog fish, willow root fish, boat fish, spotted trout fish, green root fish, yellow girl fish, red-eyed fish, mountain carp fish, and sand perch fish.

In fact, there are some fish that are not included. For example, the famous whitebait is not among the eighteen fish, and the most famous salmon is not on this list.

The most valuable of these fish are the first two in the three-flowered ones, the first two in the five-flowered ones, and the seven-li captive fish in the eighteen-flowered ones.

Unfortunately, among these valuable fish, Wanfeng had only eaten Zheluo and Qili Fuzi. The Qili Fuzi left a deep impression on him. It was really delicious and no oil was needed at all. Moreover, the fish bones on it were very soft, and there was no need to spit out the bones. If you use it to stew potatoes, you can eat your tongue into your stomach.

I don’t know if I can catch the Qili Fuzi today. If I can, I will definitely ask Lao Jin to stew it by noon.

Sell ​​it for money? It’s safer to keep it in your stomach.

If this old thief is reluctant to stew it, Wan Feng is ready to buy it and take it home to stew the湟鱼 with potatoes.

Eating for others is never as satisfying as eating for yourself.
