Chapter 192 Fishing at the Pier
Before the typhoon arrives, the sea seems calm and we can still go around the coast, but no one will joke with their own life.
Zhang Ze certainly would not go out to sea, so he moved a chair and lay under the eaves in the yard, leisurely crossing his legs and watching the drizzle that was already falling.
You know what, it was stuffy and hot before it rained, but it felt much cooler as soon as it rained.
Zhang's mother and Tong Shuyao were taking a nap. Zhang Wu was bored, so he moved a small bamboo stool and sat beside him, supporting his chin with his hand.
"Brother, I'm so bored, play marbles with me!"
“No!”
"Play cards with me."
“Not playing either”
"That"
Before Zhang Wu could even finish his third sentence, Zhang Ze stopped him with a serious look on his face: "Have you finished the exercises I bought for you? Have you read the composition book I bought for you? If not, go back and read!"
The exercises and composition books, this critical hit directly killed Zhang Wu and made him faint again.
The rain during a typhoon is intermittent, and it does not rain heavily all the time.
Zhang Ze lay there for a while and the rain stopped. He looked at the cloudy sky and sighed. To be honest, he was a little bored.
I am usually either out at sea or on my way to sea, so I don’t spend much time at home.
But this time, he hasn't been out to sea for three days. These days are really hard!
The fishing village here is not directly by the sea, but there is a beach where you can pick up seafood when it is washed up during typhoons.
After looking at Zhang Wu and seeing that he was indeed listless, he finally said, "Why don't we go fishing by the river?"
"Okay!" Zhang Wu looked up in surprise and agreed immediately.
Then he immediately went to prepare his fishing tools. Zhang Ze went into the house and said something to Zhang's mother, then rode his motorcycle to the dock to get the equipment on the boat.
As soon as he went out, he saw Lin Long coming out of the house, so he called them together and asked them to take Zhang Wu to the small pier of the fishing village first.
There is a place over there that is suitable for fishing, and there are also stone guardrails to prevent people on the dock from accidentally falling into the water.
The Duoyu was parked at another large pier, which was a bit far away, so he had to drive his motorcycle over there.
After picking up the equipment, they went to the fishery station and bought some half-dead shrimps as bait, and then came to the small pier. As a result, Tong Yuanhang and his two brothers also arrived, holding fish hooks and fishing lines in their hands and had already started fishing.
"Why are you here too?"
"You're just sitting around at home doing nothing, so why not come here and fish? You might be able to earn a few dollars." Tong Yuanhang said with a smile when he saw him.
"What bait did you use?"
"I just went to dig up some earthworms. They all came out when it rained."
"Use this shrimp bait. Earthworms don't work very well."
Zhang Ze handed them the shrimps he bought, and kept a bag of ordinary fish bait from the small space for himself.
The ordinary fish bait had turned into the shape of a shrimp, but it looked as if it had just died, so the people around him didn't notice the difference.
Several people around him were fishermen, and even though the Longhu brothers had only fished once, they didn't need his help in tying the lines and hooks.
Everyone took a little bait and continued fishing for their own fish.
Zhang Ze came to Zhang Wu, picked up his indestructible fishing rod, measured the water depth first, then put on the bait and started fishing.
There are small wooden boats moored at the small pier. The water level is not deep, only about seven or eight meters.
There was a large row of wooden boats parked in front of their group. Although there were not many places to fish, there were definitely fish here.
When a typhoon approaches, schools of fish will sense the danger and run to a location they think is safe.
Normally there would be some fish hiding under the fishing boats at the pier, let alone at this time.
As soon as I changed to shrimp bait, the effect came immediately.
"Oh my god, your shrimp bait is still the best, Aze. Let me change it and come back." Tong Yuanhang pulled the fishing line back with a surprised look on his face.
Zhang Ze smiled and said nothing. He was just joking. There was a reason why the use of live shrimps and loaches was specifically prohibited in recreational fishing in later generations.
At this moment, the bamboo pole in Zhang Wu's hand also moved. He immediately raised the pole to stab the fish, and then said excitedly: "Brother, I got it here too!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a snap and the tip of the bamboo pole broke. The fish in the water rolled over and disappeared, leaving Zhang Wu stunned.
"Pfft~" Tong Guoqi and Tong Junqiang next to them couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the sound of their laughter was like farting.
Zhang Ze twitched his lips, glared at them unhappily, and then said: "Your fishing rod is not suitable for catching big fish, just use fishing line like them!"
As he spoke, he took out a pair of gloves he usually used and handed them to him.
"My big fish!" Zhang Wu came back to his senses at this time and shouted with a sad face.
"As a fisherman, it's normal to lose a fish. You have to get used to it!" Zhang Ze patted his brother's head seriously and comforted him.
As for whether he was really comforted or not, he couldn't care less because his fishing rod was moving.
With a whoosh, he lifted the rod and stabbed the fish. This action had basically become his subconscious reaction.
This time, the fishing rod bent even more severely.
"Oh, that's pretty awesome!" The pulling force from the fishing rod made Zhang Ze look sideways. He didn't expect to catch such a big fish at the dock. This made him interested in fishing for big fish.
It is cost-effective to catch big fish, no matter how much they can be sold for. If you happen to encounter a king fish, you can get a lot of experience points, which is very good.
Now the space upgrade speed has slowed down a lot, so only by catching a large number of king fish can you upgrade quickly in a short period of time.
With six longlines, each time you basically gain about three thousand experience points, no more.
The fish at the bottom of the water was estimated to weigh about 7 or 8 kilograms, and had enough pulling force. It pulled the fishing line and wanted to run under the nearby fishing boat.
Zhang Ze lifted the rod hard again, directly interrupting its possibility of escape and making it stay where it was.
The fishing line was taut, but his fishing rod had a fishing reel, so he could turn the crank to forcibly pull the fish back while pulling. Unlike a hand rod, he could only pull the fish ashore after it was tired.
Soon, a big silver carp appeared on the water surface.
"Yoho, let's have chopped pepper fish head for dinner!"
Tong Yuanhang, who was standing next to him, almost popped his eyes out when he saw that it was a bighead carp: "Fuck, you can catch bighead carp by catching shrimp?"
Zhang Ze is actually not very clear about this. He fishes more in the sea and not very often in freshwater.
The baits used for fishing bighead carp are all bought from the store, which have a strong fishy smell. I have never used shrimp bait.
But ordinary fish bait is not shrimp. This bait is attractive to all fish, so it is normal to catch bighead carp.
But no matter what, he finally brought the bighead carp, which was estimated to weigh seven or eight kilograms, to the shore and placed it in a bamboo basket next to him.
Silver carp is cheap, currently only 0.2 yuan per pound in the market, but this one is big and can be sold for more than one yuan.
But he was already thinking about the fish head. Although his cooking skills were not very good, fish head happened to be his best dish, so he must arrange it in the evening.
The market in Nanguan is big and most condiments can be bought there.
Unfortunately, pickled peppers are currently only available in some areas that like spicy food. The taste in Nanning is light, so we don’t have this delicious thing.
Originally, this thing can be pickled by yourself, but Zhang Ze doesn’t know how to do it, so he has to give up.
After catching a fish weighing about seven or eight kilograms, he changed to a slightly larger fishhook to see if there were any bigger fish.
When the others saw what he was doing, they also switched to bigger fishhooks, obviously wanting to catch bigger ones as well.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu pulled back his fishing line and wanted to follow suit, but Zhang Ze slapped him on the head and said, "Behave yourself. You are small and weak, so just fish for small fish."
"Oh." Being supervised by his elder brother, he could only fish for small fish quietly.
An hour later, everyone had gained something.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It started to drizzle again, and the wind at the dock was a little stronger than before.
Many people saw them fishing here and came over to join in the fun.
After seeing the fish in their bamboo baskets, they were even more tempted. However, when they were told that they had to buy shrimps and fish themselves, they immediately lost interest.
Not all fishermen live as well as they do. Most families have to calculate every penny they spend, unlike Zhang Ze who doesn't care about a single penny.
"It's raining, why don't we go back?" Tong Yuanhang said with a raised mouth.
So far, Zhang Ze has caught six fish, including sea bass and black carp, none of which are too small.
Besides, we only fished for more than an hour. It would be a shame to go back with such a good bite of fish. After checking the time on the watch, he expressed a different opinion: "It's only a little after two o'clock. Go back and get your raincoat. This little rain is nothing."
The group thought about it and felt that it was right.
So Lin Long took the initiative to go back and get raincoats for everyone, as they also needed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two.
This thing is a necessity in life. You have to buy it even if you don’t go fishing.
Just when Lin Long left, there was movement on Zhang Ze's fishing rod again. His eyes lit up and he quickly stabbed the fish.
Stabbing fish will definitely stimulate the fish that have taken the hook. The fish in the water will be stimulated and immediately run away, causing Zhang Ze to stagger and almost hit the stone guardrail.
"Fuck, this fish is so big, come on!"
"What's going on? Why do the fish keep coming to you today? They're using the same bait, but your bait doesn't seem to be more delicious." When Tong Yuanhang saw this scene, he knew that he had caught another huge fish. The word "envy" was written all over his face.
"That's right. Every time I go fishing with Aze, I always get disappointed." Tong Guoqi also sighed. They have gone fishing together quite often, but there are few times when the three brothers can surpass each other in terms of fishing gains.
If it weren't for those few times, he would have suspected whether Zhang Ze had some special fishing skills.
But they have studied it before, and there is really no difference except that they are more skilled and know more.
But Zhang Ze didn't care about them at this time. He was already prepared. This big fish could pull him directly. You can imagine how great the pulling force was.
Now he didn't even care that he wasn't wearing a raincoat, and he leaned against the wet stone guardrail.
This most direct collision of power immediately made Zhang Ze excited and his blood boil.
No matter how many big fish he caught, every time he caught a big one, the adrenaline in his body would surge extremely quickly.
Perhaps because the fish was quite big, Zhang Ze tried hard to lift the fishing rod upwards, but all he did was cause the fishing reel to make a crackling sound as an alarm for unloading the force.
The force of the fish that could pull him must have exceeded the maximum unloading force of the fishing reel.
The only thing Zhang Ze could do was to walk it slowly until it was tired.
Unfortunately, the terrain and environment did not allow it, and the fish ran under the boat. He had to put more effort into pulling it out again.
So he braced his legs against the stone guardrail, trying to keep it in place.
The rain quickly wet his hair and clothes, making him very uncomfortable and as if hindering him.
After the two sides were deadlocked for three or four minutes, Lin Long came back with a raincoat and put it on the others first. Then he came to Zhang Ze and asked, "Aze, do you want me to take over? You put on the raincoat first."
"No need." Zhang Ze uttered two words, but didn't dare to say more.
He was able to hold his own with the fish thanks to this breath, and talking would easily drain it away.
The people around him didn't quite understand why he was so stubborn and didn't let go of the line to let the fish escape, but seeing him like this they didn't dare to say anything.
It was the first time Zhang Wu saw his brother catching a big fish, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Originally, he had thought about secretly coming to the riverside or the dock to catch big fish one day, but now seeing his brother's look, he finally understood that his brother was really doing it for his own good.
If you accidentally catch such a big fish, you will be dragged into the river before you can even react.
Unfortunately, in terms of strength and explosive power, the fish under the water was superior. Zhang Ze failed to pull it in the end, and the fish ran dozens of meters away and hid under the boat.
He reluctantly let out the breath he had been holding: "Along, you come and pick me up. Just try your best to pull the fish out. Even if you can't pull it out, you have to pull it out. Don't let it get comfortable. I'll take it easy first."
"Okay!" After fishing for big marlin with Zhang Ze once, they have already developed a tacit understanding of cooperation.
At this time, the fish had already run to the bottom of the boat and hit the bottom. Lin Long took the fishing rod and pulled it, but it didn't move.
Then he exerted all his strength, but still couldn't move it. He now understood what Zhang Ze meant by what he said just now. He really couldn't move it.
But he was still very obedient and kept pulling even though he couldn't pull it. He had no idea that a normal fishing rod and fishing line would have broken if he pulled it like that.
When they were tired, Lin Hu took over, and then Tong Yuanhang and others also came to join in the fun.
A group of people took turns trying to pull the fish out, but no one could.
After everyone was tired, Zhang Ze, who had recovered his breath, picked up the fishing rod again.
"Hah~" Zhang Ze's arms were bulging with veins. He was a little stronger than in the past few days and actually pulled the fish hiding under the boat.
"Awesome!" Lin Long exclaimed in admiration. He knew very well that even if he hadn't been exercising continuously, he would not have been able to reach Zhang Ze's level. Some talents are innate.
Of course, he didn't know there were such things as plug-ins.
The fishing line was retracted meter by meter at an extremely slow speed. Even Zhang Ze couldn't hold out for long at this speed. After pulling the fish back about ten meters, he couldn't stand it anymore and could only take a breath and slow down.
At this time, the fish was probably a little dazed by his pulling and didn't even think about running away.
When Zhang Ze had a good rest and broke out again, it seemed to be stimulated and no longer wanted to pretend to be dead like before, but began to struggle frantically.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up when he felt the fishing rod shaking. He was not afraid of you moving, but he was afraid of you not moving. As long as you moved, there would be no problem.
