Chapter 19 Fishing in Houhai
The weather is good today. When the two arrived in Houhai, there were already people standing or sitting on the riverside. Fishing is legal in this era. You can take it home to improve your family's life, or sell it to the fresh fish purchasing department of the vegetable market. You don't need to buy fresh fish.
Jia Weidong did not go to the place where the third uncle often went, so he chose a position to go against the wind and towards the sun alone.
After installing the fishing rod, I tried the distance and depth with an empty hook, adjusted the float, took out the bait that had been fermented overnight at home with stick noodles and wine, put the fish hook on earthworms, and waited quietly after making the nest.
After a quarter of an hour, the float started to move, slowly shaking up and down, and then suddenly sank. Jia Weidong lifted the fishing rod, and a crucian carp weighing half a pound was taken out of the water. He filled the bucket with some water and put the fish in, and installed the earthworms on the fish hook before continuing.
It was noon, and Jia Weidong also gained some results intermittently, but no big fish had been hooked. They were all about two or three taels to half a pound of crucian carp, and about three pounds together.
Take out a freeze-dried steamed bun from the cloth bag and chew it. While looking at the float, you think about how to catch a big fish. It would be good to have such a harvest, but Jia Weidong was not satisfied.
"Why try the space spiritual water?" After thinking, Jia Weidong immediately acted, opened the lid of the small iron box containing earthworms, and with a thought, he took some spring water from the space and poured it in.
After a while, after catching a small crucian carp, he replaced it with earthworms soaked in spirit water. After putting it down, the fish bit the hook. When the rod was lifted, a three or four kilograms of carp was carried up and put it into the bucket. After two minutes, it was another four or five kilograms of carp.
The effect of spiritual water is obvious, but the movement is too great. I looked around and found that there was no one nearby. Some fishermen may live nearby. It is lunch time and they are all going home for dinner. Jia Weidong felt relieved and took the fish he had just caught into the space and put it into the fish pond.
The next harvest continued. More than one pound of crucian carp, carp, silver carp, and bighead carp from two to three pounds to more than ten pounds. Jia Weidong also gained experience. Without waiting for all the fish to pull out of the water, he would directly collect it into the space as soon as the fish emerged. People in the distance would think that the fish had been unhooked, so they would only occasionally lift one.
The bucket was too late to put down. Jia Weidong built a big hole in the shore, filled it with water and put the fish in it.
At about 3:00 pm, the fish in the pit had thirty or forty kilograms, and the fish put into the space pond were even more amazing, with a total of 400 or 500 kilograms.
At this time, someone also noticed the abnormality here. When they saw Jia Weidong fishing so many fish, they thought this place was a Feng Shui treasure land, and they all put rods near him. Even the third uncle came over after hearing this.
"Wei Dong, I got a good harvest today!"
"Mr. Third uncle, I'm lucky today"
Jia Weidong thought he could not continue fishing, so he decided to stop. Just as he was about to close the rod, the float was moving. After shaking violently for two times, he dragged it down directly. He quickly lifted the rod, and the fishing line was immediately stretched straight and almost pulled him into the water. It was a big guy. Jia Weidong immediately squatted down his waist and closed the rod, inserted the fishing rod diagonally to the ground under his feet, and held his hands tightly like a flag bearer. At this moment, the fishing rod had been bent into a half-moon shape, and as the fish in the water continued to struggle, swaying around and swaying left and right.
"Wei Dong be careful! Hold on!"
When the third uncle saw it, he came over to help. After 20 minutes of slipping away, the two of them were sweating profusely and panting, pulling a large black fish more than one meter long ashore. It was estimated that it would be about 30 to 40 kilograms.
"This black fish is so big, at least forty kilograms..."
Seeing Jia Weidong caught such a big black fish, a group of people came to watch and talked about it in a lingering manner. In order not to cause trouble, Jia Weidong discussed with the third uncle for a while and decided to go home immediately. Two small fish in buckets were stringed with ropes, and squeezed out the crowd and walked back.
"Wei Dong, you can't finish eating so many fish when you go back."
"Mr. Third uncle, let's leave a few to eat at home, and the others have been sold. Do you think this is OK?"
"Okay, let's go to the purchase department to sell the fish."
When he arrived at the acquisition department, Jia Weidong left a carp of three or four kilograms for himself and the third uncle, and poured the rest into the basket of the acquisition department. He weighed it, 78 kilograms and 2 taels, 4 cents per kilogram, and sold it for 31 yuan and 28 cents. Issued the invoice and received the money.
After leaving the acquisition department, Jia Weidong handed over fifteen yuan and sixty yuan to the third uncle.
"Wei Dong, I can't take this money. You are still a child. Then let people know that the third uncle has taken advantage of a child. How can I be a role model? No, no!" The third uncle waved his hand and refused and said
"It's okay, Mr. Third, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? Besides, this is what we agreed to in the morning."
"This...well, Weidong, thank you!"
This is a little more than the third uncle's salary for half a month. After the two of them shared the accounts, the third uncle rode his bicycle and took Jia Weidong home.
"Mr. Third uncle, I have to help you with school!" After entering the front yard, Jia Weidong said after handing the bucket and fishing rod to the third uncle.
"Don't worry, Wei Dong, I will go directly to the principal tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Third, goodbye!"
After separation from the third uncle, he took the bucket back to his home and entered the intermediate yard. The Bang Teng was playing in the yard. When he saw Jia Weidong, he trotted over.
"Uncle, did you catch fish today?"
"Well, let your mother stew fish for you tonight." Jia Weidong turned the bucket sideways and looked at it for the stick.
"Wow! What a big fish, I'll eat it in the evening! You're so awesome, uncle!" said Bakki in surprise.
"Wei Dong, you are back!"
When he arrived at the door of the house, Qin Huairu came up with a smile and took the bucket from Jia Weidong's hand.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat fish stew tonight"
"Wei Dong, I really caught fish. This carp is not small. Our family hasn't eaten fish for a long time. I'll do it now."
"Sister-in-law, where is our mother?" The two of them entered the house and did not see Jia Zhang. Jia Weidong asked.
"I'm going to the aunt's house and chatting with her. Wei Dong, please be tired, go to the kang to rest."
Not to mention, Jia Weidong was really tired, so he went back to his room and lay on the kang to read a book.
Today I gave the third uncle such great benefits. There should be no problem with going to school. The third uncle will definitely work hard. If you want to directly transfer to the sixth grade, you will definitely have to go through the test. You have to read these textbooks as soon as possible. If something goes wrong with the test, it will not be fun.
"Weidong, it's time to eat"
After reading the book for a while, Qin Huairu prepared supper, and Jia Zhang came back. The knot had been sitting by the table waiting for the meal. When a large basin of fish was served, the whole family had eaten with relish and a happy smile was filled with a happy smile on their faces.
"It's still my son who has the ability to catch such a big fish!" said Jia Zhang.
"Yes, I really didn't expect it!" Qin Huairu echoed.
"Mom, sister-in-law, please eat more kids. I will continue fishing tomorrow after eating."
"Mom, today I have not only caught this one, I have sold it. This is the money for selling fish." Jia Weidong said, and took five dollars out of his pocket and handed it to Jia Zhangshi.
"I have some more, so I can keep it for tuition."
"My son is very capable and can make money." Jia Zhang took it in surprise, and did not ask how much Jia Weidong sold it.
After having dinner, Jia Zhang rubbed his stomach and went out for a walk. The whole family was a little overeating tonight.
"Sister-in-law, you will go to work tomorrow. After you get to the factory, buy more meal tickets. Don't be reluctant to eat. QQ Soso is wronged."
After Jia Zhang went out, Jia Weidong took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu.
After hearing Jia Weidong's words, Qin Huairu's eyes turned red. After silently taking them over, she turned around and washed the pot and washed the dishes quickly. After she packed up, she brought hot water to serve Jia Weidong's feet. Her movements became more gentle and considerate.
I soaked my feet, drank medicine, and went to bed...
