After sending the express, Xia Yu returned to the farm. Because he had an appointment with his senior sister for dinner, and they would not meet until the afternoon at the earliest, he had a whole day to waste on the farm.
This is a very pleasant thing to do on a rare holiday.
The weather is sunny again today, so basking in the sun and fishing might be a good choice.
So where is the fishing rod?
Xia Yu thought for a few seconds, and then subconsciously looked towards the master bedroom.
The dressing room in the master bedroom of the farm was like a treasure trove. Xia Yu was deeply impressed by it the last time he came here. This time, he actually found a camping chair and a set of imported fishing gear of an unknown brand.
Different from the traditional Chinese preference of using earthworms as bait, these foreigners prefer to use artificial bait, scientifically known as lure, which is also known as lure fishing.
They don't even let the fish have a full meal until they are about to die, which shows how cruel they are. But fishing with them is pretty clean, and there is no need to make a nest or dig out earthworms.
Looking at the boxes of lures slowly filling up in the tackle box, Xia Yu was in a dilemma of making a decision.
There are small fish and shrimps of various colors, as well as some aquatic insects that you have never seen before.
The material feels like plastic, with one or two fish hooks hanging underneath. Fish that attack these lures are likely to be hooked by these hooks.
Different lures can catch different fish. There is no universal lure that can attract all fish. However, this was Xia Yu's first time to use this thing, so he could only pick a beautiful shrimp bait based on his feeling.
If it looks good, it tastes good. I think fish think so too, right?
When putting the lure on the fishing rod, Xia Yu had an unreliable thought. Forget about getting off to a good start. He just hoped he could catch some fish today.
"Swish~~"
With a strong swing of the fishing rod, the lure was thrown far away and fell into the calm water.
Unlike traditional fishing, the characteristic of lure fishing is that it emphasizes actively finding fish, so what Xia Yu has to do next is not to wait, but to drag and shake his shrimp bait to attract the fish in the water to take the hook.
If no fish takes the bait, you have to cast the hook repeatedly to increase the probability of success.
To be honest, it was quite interesting at the beginning, but after half an hour, I got annoyed when I still got nothing. Especially when the ducks in the distance were quacking, as if they were mocking Xia Yu's skills.
hehe!
Looking at this group of ignorant ducks, Xia Yu smiled with his lips but not his eyes.
Now I'll let you laugh a little longer. If we don't catch any fish today, we'll have old duck soup at noon.
As if sensing the malice emanating from Xia Yu, the group of ducks did not dare to stay where they were and swam together towards the distant sandbar.
"Crash~~"
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water surface, and a pulling force was transmitted from the fishing rod to Xia Yu's hands.
Hooked!
That's quite a lot of strength!
Joy instantly filled Xia Yu's heart. It was his first time fishing with lures and he was lucky enough to catch a dead mouse. He immediately started competing with the mouse fish.
As a novice, you should be happy. After all, it is a typical mistake for novices to wait for the lure to be pulled away by the fish before pulling the rod.
In this situation, the fish will most likely spit out the lure, but the one Xia Yu encountered did not do so. Instead, it bit him harder and harder, playing tug-of-war with him.
Comparing strength with others, isn't that a bit too much?
After all, this is not sea fishing, so you won’t encounter big fish that are heavier than humans.
A few minutes later, Xia Yu pulled a mandarin fish that looked yellowish in the sunlight out of the water.
Is this the legendary Golden Legend (copycat)?
I love it!
No, it should be that I am greedy!
When Xia Yu saw the mandarin fish, he thought of the squirrel fish and his mouth watered instantly.
He didn't expect that he could catch mandarin fish on the farm. In the past, he could only eat this dish during the Chinese New Year and at banquets.
As one of the few freshwater fish with more meat and fewer bones, mandarin fish tastes better than sea bass. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that mandarin fish are fat when peach blossoms and flowing water are in full bloom. The price has always been very high. Even the wholesale price of farmed mandarin fish is 40 to 51 kilograms, not to mention those that are almost naturally raised like this one.
He and Uncle Tai both had a great meal at noon today, but it was a pity that the senior sister couldn't eat such delicious mandarin fish.
If you can’t eat it, you can just take a photo to make her jealous!
"Sizzle~~"
Hot oil mixed with sweet and sour marinade is poured over the mandarin fish, and the aroma comes out instantly.
"Click~~"
As soon as he finished making the squirrel fish, Xia Yu found a freehand angle to freeze the whole fish in the picture.
Some fish are destined to live only in memories, and photos and videos are the best way to record life. After taking the photos, Xia Yu fulfilled his promise.
"Senior, do you think this fish smells good?"
Yin Suya, who was getting food in the cafeteria, felt her phone vibrate, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time. After she got her food and found a seat, she took out her phone. The steaming hot food in front of her suddenly lost its fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
The squirrel fish in the photo looked delicious, and Yin Suya couldn't deceive herself.
"I'll make it for you next time I have the chance."
Seeing Xia Yu's reply, Yin Suya's face fell.
Next time, next time, and next time again. Xia Yu is as hateful as those white female viewers who keep posting "next time for sure" in the barrage.
Looking at the photo, Yin Suya gritted her teeth and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes with chopsticks, comforting herself that since they were both red, they must taste similar.
But does the taste really resemble that?
This is probably only known to Yin Suya herself, after all, she knows her own feelings.
Sharing the joy of eating mandarin fish, Xia Yu put down his phone with satisfaction, and then invited Uncle Tai to eat together. He really couldn't finish such a big fish by himself.
Pick up a piece of fish, the fish skin is fried crispy, the sweet and sour sauce and the fish meat are soft and chewy. The three flavors and textures are constantly progressing. I can only describe it in one word, that is - "delicious!"
Well, it’s so delicious that I can’t even count them all.
After eating and drinking, Xia Yu took a nap and didn't get up lazily until almost two o'clock.
Because he was going to Zhejiang Province tomorrow, he definitely didn't have time to go to the gym. In order to ensure that he exercised three times a week, he washed his face and rode his bike away from the farm.
I rushed to the gym for a private lesson, and it was getting dark.
The schedule will not be adjusted to summer time until after May Day. The days are not long now, but it also reminds Xia Yu that it is time to set off.
Before the evening rush hour arrived, Xia Yu arrived in the city first.
Unlike the suburbs, the city center of Shanghai becomes more lively as it gets darker, especially the most prosperous Jinling East Road. Even though the lights are just coming on, it is already packed with people, and several traffic police are needed to maintain order in this area.
Xia Yu parked the car and followed the crowd here. He and his senior student had agreed to meet here in the evening, but he didn't know if they had arrived yet.
After looking around, Xia Yu instantly locked onto his target after seeing three people standing out from the crowd, but it seemed like someone was chatting with them?
