Lin Xu grabbed the fishing rod with both hands, first pulled hard to stabilize his body, and then started walking the fish.
Catching big fish is completely different from catching small fish.
After the small fish is hooked, just pull it out. As long as the fishing rod and line set pass, there will be no problem. Just grab the fishing rod and throw it out, and the small fish will fly out steadily.
But when fishing for big fish, you cannot forcefully pull it, otherwise even if the fishing rod can hold up, the line group will not be able to bear it.
To catch a big fish, you have to walk to consume all the power of the big fish.
The so-called walking does not mean to let the fish swim casually according to its strength, nor does it mean to fight the fish in a tug-of-war. It means to relax a little during the fight, and then continue to fight after relaxing.
Make the big fish as uncomfortable as possible, so that the fish's power will be exhausted in a short time.
When the fish floats to the surface, it basically means that you have no strength and you can use the net to catch the fish.
"Xiao Xu, do you need help?"
"No, I can do it!"
When Shen Guofu saw his son-in-law catch a fish, he felt more energetic than he did himself.
Although the fish has not yet surfaced, judging from the strength of the fish, it should weigh more than ten pounds.
I never thought that I could catch such a big fish in a pond in winter. It is still morning, the sun has not fully risen, and the water temperature has not risen. It stands to reason that the fish will not move.
But the reality is such a slap in the face. Geng Lele caught two crucian carp, and Lin Xu caught another big fish.
On the other side of the lake, Aunt Sun looked at Lin Xu walking fish and said curiously:
"This is different from what you analyzed."
Old Sun coughed dryly:
"Fishing in the wild is always full of surprises and surprises. This is also the charm of fishing. No matter how careful your analysis is, fish will always come unexpectedly... Fishermen often behave like this. Last time I caught those two black fish
It's the same thing at times, and it doesn't follow common sense at all."
Not far away, in front of the small pavilion, brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang watched Lin Xu catch the fish. They were so excited that they put down the fishing rod and ran over to have a look. Although Lao Xie also wanted to go, he felt that since his junior brother could catch the fish, then I
It should be soon.
Maybe the fish float will move in the next second, but you can’t walk away.
I remember an old timer said that once you are distracted while fishing, or if you drink water, eat, go to the toilet, light a cigarette, etc., you will often be triggered to catch fish.
You have to concentrate and don’t make any carelessness.
On the shore, Shen Jiayue has installed the dip net and pulled out all the poles of the dip net, waiting for the big fish to get close to it.
Hum hum, I must take a photo when the big fish comes up.
Post it in the group, post it on Moments, or even post it under Lin Ji’s food topic, so that everyone can take a look, my man, Shen Jiayue, is so amazing!
Lin Xu walked for about ten minutes, and the fish finally appeared.
It’s a silver carp with a huge head. Judging from the wide body, this fish is no more than twenty kilograms smaller.
Although this weight is not as big as the ones Lao Huang sent to the store last time, it is still not small. After all, the water area is so big, and it is estimated that it has reached its growth limit.
When Lao Sun saw this fish for the first time, he immediately put down his fishing rod and trotted over with his own net:
"Yueyue, please get out of the way, your copying is too impractical..."
This kind of big fish must be caught at once, otherwise it will be frightened and struggle like crazy in the water, and maybe the line group will be broken.
Everyone’s line sets today were average and they were not prepared to catch a fish that was too big. Who would have thought that Lin Xu could catch such a giant fish all at once?
Lin Xu held on to the fishing rod and slowly pulled the fish toward the shore.
When the net was within range, Lao Suntou grabbed the net with both hands, caught the fish's head, and then violently pulled the net back, dragging the fish to the shore.
"Wow, what a big fish!"
Everyone took out their mobile phones and took photos one after another.
After everyone finished taking pictures, Lin Xu put his hand into the gills of the fish, lifted the entire fish head, and asked Shen Jiayue to take a photo of the catch.
After all, it was my first time fishing, so I had to take a group photo as a souvenir.
"I don't know how much this fish weighs..."
Shen Jiayue said something casually while taking photos, and Lin Xu immediately said:
"Nineteen pounds and three taels... about this, I estimate."
He originally wanted to say 19 pounds, 32-50 pounds, but he felt that it would be bad if it was too precise. It would be better to be more ambiguous.
After taking the photo, Lin Xu began to pack the fishing gear.
Stop fishing and go fishing.
Today at noon I will make a whole fish feast based on this fish.
While he was busy packing up his fishing gear, Shen Jiayue began to post photos of his catch everywhere, and when posting, he said modestly:
"It's only 19.3 pounds, less than 20 pounds. It's pretty average, not big."
Hoho, for such a big fish, a little Versailles is not too much, right?
After Geng Lele saw this fish, he originally wanted to continue fishing, but then he thought about it and said to Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang:
"Here, help me lift the fish and I'll take a photo of the catch."
You filmed it?
This is the fish Uncle Lin caught. What does it have to do with you?
As soon as the brothers expressed doubts, Geng Lele said:
"I have a few sets of college entrance examination simulation papers there, but I don't usually use them, so why not..."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers quickly helped take photos.
Just like that, Geng Lele raised the fish with difficulty, asked Xie Yuhang to take a photo, and then sent it to Moments:
"Brother Xu just caught a fish. Unexpectedly, I also caught one. I weighed it and it weighed 18.4 kilograms, which is slightly smaller than Brother Xu's. It's my first time to catch such a big silver carp. I took a photo to commemorate it. Unfortunately, my godfather didn't like it.
Eat the fish, otherwise you have to take it back and let him have a taste."
Hum hum, ask me to write an English check, and I will be angry with you, a food lover.
After sending it out, she contentedly continued fishing with her hand rod. When the brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang saw that they could still operate it like this, they also took photos of each other while holding the fish.
After Uncle Lin hit the fish, we each also hit a big fish. Is this reasonable?
Not long after, the brothers also posted photos of their catch. When Chen Yan, who was visiting relatives in Xicheng, saw it, she immediately asked in the group:
"Have you stabbed the silver carp's nest? How come you each have one? It's not so exaggerated to go fishing in the black pit, right?"
Mr. Chen felt that he had missed an opportunity to clear his name.

It’s such an easy place to fish. You must try it next time and experience the joy of walking a big fish!
After packing up the fishing gear, Lin Xu put on his fishing bag and walked towards the house carrying the big fish, planning to put it in the pond first, dig some lotus roots later, and then officially start making lunch.
When he arrived, Dundun followed him with his little butt pouted. Occasionally, he wanted to stretch out his paw to pat the fish, but in the end he held back.
I guess I still remember the last time I took a photo of myself in the water in my hometown.
Mi Lan took her mobile phone and frantically sent messages to her girlfriends group:
"Hurry up to the Ginkgo Garden. Boss Lin has just caught a huge silver carp and is preparing to eat fish at noon."
Some of my best friends didn’t react at first.
I was just about to ask what kind of dishes there were, but then I thought that it was cooked by Boss Lin, and all the dishes would be delicious. Then they packed up and planned to go to the Ginkgo Garden for a big meal together.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Lin Xu came to the kitchen and put the fish into the pool.
I will dig out the lotus roots later and start collecting the fish.
Mi Lan followed up and said:
"The meat is in the refrigerator, and most of the ingredients are in the storage room next to it. This pot is the glutinous rice that was soaked yesterday... I want you to make some glutinous rice and lotus root to try. I heard that the glutinous rice needs to be soaked in advance, so as not to delay its use.
, so I let people pick it up yesterday."
Lin Xu opened the basin next to him and took a look. He actually had half a basin of glutinous rice soaked in it.
If you want to make all the glutinous rice and lotus root, you can make a big pot.
He smiled and said:
"I will start digging the lotus roots later."
Putting the fishing bag on the car, he carried the shovel and took Dundun and Shen Jiayue to dig lotus roots.
Mi Lan followed behind carrying a bamboo basket and was ready to help.
By the pond, Han Shuzhen was waiting to see the old sunken fish.
As a result, the fish float didn’t move at all.
When Lin Xu and others came to dig lotus roots, she completely gave up on Lao Shen and went to play with Dundun in the lotus pond.
Aunt Sun, who originally wanted to experience fishing, also gave up fishing and went to watch the lotus root digging together.
At this time, most of the water in the lotus root pond has dried up, and it is like a wasteland. When digging, it feels like digging sweet potatoes in the ground, which looks very interesting.
Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang also went with Su Peipei to wander around the ginkgo forest and take pictures.
In an instant, only three old fishermen were left beside the originally bustling pond.
It was okay that someone was with me just now, but now there is no one around, and Shen Guofu is somewhat bored.
He looked at the motionless fish bobber, then looked at Xie Baomin and Lao Suntou, and felt that it was not a big deal to wait, so he tied up the missing rope, carried a cigar, and went to brag to the two of them.
Not long after, the Big Three of the Air Force squatted by the pond with cigars in their mouths, staring at the water in a daze.
In the end, it was Lao Suntou who took the lead and said:
"Maybe we don't get along with the Feng Shui here, and the temperature hasn't risen yet. Wait a minute, the fishing season in winter is usually in the afternoon, so there's a lot of hope."
"Yes, it's okay even if there are no fish in the morning. We can continue fishing after lunch."
"You have to be patient when fishing. It's impossible to be impatient."
Several people cheered each other up and continued fishing.
On the other side, Lin Xu took a shovel and dug out a whole long and slender crispy lotus root, which looked like five or six knots. This was used as an ingredient. Five or six knots were more than enough and could not even be used up.
But it was noodle lotus roots. Because he wanted to make glutinous rice lotus roots, he dug several roots. Each root had several sections and was more than one meter long. It felt heavy in his hand.
"The lotus roots are of good quality. I'll dig some up when I leave later and eat them at home."
Mi Lan said:
"Dig more. If you can't eat it all, it will rot in the ground...Xiao Lin, what do you think is a better way to mix the food we have here throughout the year?"
Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"Spring is mainly about various wild vegetables. There should be a lot of wild vegetables in this garden in spring, right? In addition to wild vegetables, there are also various mushrooms, toona leaves, bamboo shoots, elm coins, sophora flowers, etc., which are all loved by customers."<
/p>
When Mi Lan heard this, she felt that this made sense, and she asked again:
"What about summer?"
"Summer is usually a time to escape the heat. You can make some fresh side dishes and some unusual dishes, such as lotus root strips, fried pumpkin flowers, fried lotus flowers, cicada monkeys, various barbecues and seasonal dishes."
He scraped off the soil from the lotus roots and continued:
"As for autumn and winter, there are all kinds of harvest dishes, such as sweet potatoes, taro, etc., paired with lotus roots, ginkgo, chicken, duck, fish and goose, stewed in iron pots... Anyway, each season has a different theme, so that it can be unique and unique.
With the characteristics, tourists will naturally be willing to come.”
The best way to run this kind of place is to find someone who understands ecological gardens and transform the entire ginkgo garden into a place where you can eat, drink, and have fun.
What Beijing lacks most now is short-distance leisure places.
If Mi Lan's ginkgo garden is completed, business will definitely boom.
Especially in late autumn, the ground is covered with yellow leaves. After word spread, the place was filled with people taking wedding photos.
After all, who can resist a forest covered with golden leaves?
While chatting, Lin Xu saw the lotus leaves near the water. Although they had dried, they had not fallen off and were still intact, so he picked a few.
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"What are you doing picking this, Xu Bao?"
"It is used for steaming lotus root balls. Placing it underneath will not only prevent sticking, but also give the steamed balls a refreshing lotus flavor, making them taste more delicious."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue also picked a few pieces:
"I'll put it in the car and take it home later, so you can steam me some lotus leaf-flavored delicacies tomorrow morning."
After speaking, she said to Han Shuzhen:
"Mom, you and dad can stay at our house tonight so that dad can indulge his gaming addiction. Let's eat delicious food together tomorrow morning."
"Okay, your dad secretly bought a game console. He feels bored playing it at home, so he can have a good time at night."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she persuaded like a young adult:
"Mom, it's great to play with dad. The game is very fun. The more I play, the more I realize. No wonder games are called the ninth art. Some games are really good."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Han Shuzhen waved her hand in disgust:
"Tch, I'm not playing with it, Dundun... Do you also want to pick a leaf? Come and pick it with me in my arms."
After Lin Xu picked the lotus leaves and was about to go back to the kitchen to make lunch, Aunt Sun followed and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Xu, you just mentioned this method of steaming meatballs with lotus leaves. How do you make it specifically?"
"This is a very simple thing. I'll teach you later. You can basically do it at a glance. It's not difficult at all."
"Okay, it just so happens that aunt will help you today."
Arriving at the door of the kitchen, Lin Xu first flushed away the large pieces of mud on the surface of the lotus roots with a water pipe.
After rinsing, I took it to the kitchen to prepare the glutinous rice and lotus root.
The so-called glutinous rice lotus root is to put the soaked glutinous rice into the lotus root, seal it and stew it with sugar water. Because some osmanthus honey is habitually poured on it when it is placed on the plate, it is also called osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root or osmanthus honey lotus root.
p>
This is a typical Jiangnan dish, but now it has spread all over the country and has become a favorite of many people.
Wash the lotus roots and cut them into sections. Noodles are generally short and thick. Use a spatula to remove the outer skin of the lotus roots, wash them again, and then bring over the soaked glutinous rice to prepare.
Cut one end of the lotus root with a diagonal knife, grab the glutinous rice and start pouring it into the lotus root hole.
The reason why the knife is cut at an angle is to facilitate the sealing, and the sealing is stronger and not easy to break.
When Aunt Sun saw Lin Xu doing this, she also washed her hands and started to help. It was very simple and not difficult at all. The only thing you have to remember is to fill it with a tachyon and gently poke each hole with a tachyon to make sure there are no gaps in the lotus holes.<
/p>
After filling, put the cut piece of lotus root back to its original place, prick it with a toothpick, and seal the mouth, so that the glutinous rice lotus root is ready.
There were a lot of people today, and there would be more people coming later, so Lin Xu made ten lotus roots.
If there are any leftovers, Mi Lan can take them back.
Prepare everything, put it into a large pot, add water to cover the lotus roots, put a few large pieces of brown sugar into it, and a small bowl of washed and pitted dried red dates.
Adding red dates can enrich the flavor of lotus root and also make the color of lotus root more rosy and beautiful.
Bring the water in the pot to a boil over high heat, then cover the pot and turn to medium-low heat to start simmering.
Lotus roots need to be stewed for more than an hour and a half before they are ready, so you need to start in advance so as not to delay eating them at lunch.
After adjusting the fire, Lin Xu did not rush to make meatballs. Instead, he took the big fish out of the pond and knocked it on the head a few times with the back of the knife. Then he used the tip of the kitchen knife under the fish's head and in the middle of the pectoral fins.
Stung it.
This is the heart of the fish. After being punctured, the blood of the fish can flow out as much as possible.
"Is there still such a way?"
Aunt Sun was surprised to see that she never deliberately let out blood when killing fish at home.
Lin Xu said:
"After bleeding, the fish meat will be whiter and more tender, and the fishy smell will also be reduced a lot. If you feel that the heart is difficult to control, you can chop it at the base of the tail, and the blood can be drained here."
"Next time Lao Sun catches a fish, I'll give it a try."
When the fish was almost bleeding, Lin Xu took the electric scale scraper and carefully scraped the fish scales.
He has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time he eats fish, he immediately loses his appetite as soon as he eats fish scales.
Especially the scales on the fish belly and crest are easily overlooked.
Scrape off the fish scales, cut open the fish belly with a knife, and take out the internal organs.
The fish was big and had a lot of internal organs. Lin Xu took out a small basin and cleaned it up later to make it into a dry pot of fish offal.
Then use a kitchen knife to cut off the back of the pectoral fin, cut off the entire huge fish head, cut the fish head open from below, and remove the gills, teeth and some connective tissue in the mouth.
Turn it over again, cut a knife into the thick part of the meat, spread it evenly with scallion slices, ginger slices, a little salt and light soy rice wine, and marinate.
While he was busy, Mi Lan walked in with two cups of hot tea. Seeing that the fish heads had been removed, he asked curiously:
"How are you going to cook this fish head, Xiao Lin? Braised in braised sauce or chopped with pepper?"
Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:
"No, I'm going to make Yanjing's famous fish head cakes. It's cold, so I need to eat something warm."
Fish! Head! Soak! Pancake?!
Mi Lan and Aunt Sun were both a little surprised.
Because this dish never seems to taste like a restaurant at home.
Since Lin Xu took action today, there is absolutely nothing to say about the taste.
And maybe we can also reveal the secret of the delicious fish head puff pastry.
Thinking of this, Mi Lan asked curiously:
"Can I watch this...while it's being done?"
"Okay, there's no secret to it. As long as you know how to do it, you can do it at home."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun showed a puzzled expression on her face:
"Uncle Sun asked me to make it several times before, but every time it came out, it was either fishy or not fragrant enough, and the soup was not as thick as in the restaurant. Is that a mistake?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"This has nothing to do with hooking up. It's because the gelatin in the fish head didn't boil out... Watch me make it later. After watching it, you will know the key to the delicious fish head cake."
