As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you can rely on the water to eat the water!
Since it is located next to the big river Hanshui, fishermen have become an indispensable profession in this area.
Even in the past few years, many fishermen have been absorbed by shipbuilding workshops and become apprentices or craftsmen in the workshops.
But there are still some old people who are unwilling to abandon the skills passed down from their ancestors and still rely on fishing in the Han River to make a living.
"Uncle! Is there any snakehead fish today?"
Along the river bank, Xiaojiang, who was going upstream, soon saw a fishing boat fishing in the middle of the river. His eyes immediately lit up, he formed his hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted at the fishing boat with all his strength!
"Xiaojiang?"
The old fisherman on the fishing boat soon heard the shouting, turned around and glanced at the shore. When he saw that the person shouting was an acquaintance, he smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he would come to the shore to talk after he finished casting the net.
.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiang waved his hand as well, found a stone by the river beach and sat on it, ready to watch the old fisherman catch his fish.
The fisherman's fishing movements are very beautiful. He flutters the fishing net, looks at the ripples on the river, crosses and twists! With a strong toss of his arms that were tanned by the sun, the fishing net is like a full moon in the sky.
Swishing towards the river mask.
"Crash..."
"good!"
As the fishing net entered the water, a cry of joy came from the shore!
But it was not Xiao Jiang who was applauded, but Xiao Han who happened to be passing by from the other side.
"Xiaodong! Did you see that? This is called casting a net! What you call feeding the fish! You should feed the fish yourself!"
Xiao Han, who happened to be passing by on horseback, stopped his horse and while applauding the old fisherman's skillful fishing moves, he glared at Xiaodong with disgust.
It's all about throwing the net. Last time, this guy's net was thrown out, but the people followed him out with a babbling sound... In the end, it was him and the idiot who worked together to drag Xiaodong up, who had turned into a drowned rat.
Arrived at the shore.
"Ahem, Lord Marquis, aren't we going to see the shipbuilding workshop? Why does it look like someone is catching fish? Let's go quickly."
Behind him, Xiaodong was glared at by Xiao Han. He actually wanted to say: Mr. Hou, don’t you have the same technique for throwing the net? Didn’t you throw the fishing net as a thick rope that time? Why are you so embarrassed to say that to me?
However, thinking of the consequences of saying these words... Xiaodong still swallowed the words that came to his lips and just kept urging Xiao Han to leave quickly.
However, after finally seeing someone casting a net to catch fish, Xiao Han, who was feeling itchy, where could he leave?
"No hurry! No hurry! Let's see what he catches!" After saying a few words, Xiao Han turned over and dismounted, took the reins and went down to the river beach, looking at the old fisherman who was closing the net from a distance.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Aren't you in a hurry just now?" Behind them, Xiaodong and Lengzi had no choice but to curse, dismounted and followed.
Hey, they knew it would be like this. Their Lord Marquis' love of catching fish and shrimps would never change in this life!
The three strangers went down to the shore and naturally attracted Xiao Jiang's attention.
Turning his head and taking a closer look at the leader, Xiao Han, Xiao Jiang felt that this person gave him a very familiar feeling! But looking at that face again, it was clearly a very unfamiliar face.
"This is strange. I have never seen this person before. Why does he feel so familiar?"
He muttered something weird in his heart, but Xiao Jiang didn't pay much attention to it. Compared to a stranger, Qi Ge's black fish hot pot was obviously more important.
In the middle of the river, the old fisherman has already put the net on the boat. It seems that the harvest of this net is not too much, because even the fishing net is flat, and there are obviously no big fish.
But this is normal. If every net is full of harvest, those young people will not abandon their fishing boats, sharpen their heads, and go to the shipbuilding workshop.
After simply packing up the fishing net and throwing a few small fish back into the river, the old fisherman rocked the old boat and drove the boat towards the small river beside the river beach.
The water conditions of the Han River are not too fast in this section, so the river beach here is particularly flat. The old fisherman's boat pushed away the waves, went directly to the shore, and pressed the bow of the boat onto the fine sand of the river beach.
Stopped.
"Xiao Jiang? Are you here to buy fish again? Who are these?" Putting down the boat in his hand, the old fisherman came to the bow of the boat. He first said hello to Xiao Jiang, and then looked at Xiao Han and others next to him warily.
The old fisherman naturally recognized Xiao Jiang and knew that he was the grandson of Lao Jiang, the manager of the dock workshop below.
But this was the first time he saw these new faces in Xiao Han.
Especially when he saw several people riding tall horses, and Xiaodong and Lengzi behind them also had bulging waists, which seemed to contain weapons, the old fisherman became even more vigilant.
"Hmm! How many of them are here to buy fish? Hehe, I don't know them either, they must be passers-by." Xiao Jiang replied to the old fisherman with a smile.
Obviously, with his young experience and character, he had no suspicion of Xiao Han and the others. He just rubbed his hands, looked at the old fisherman expectantly and asked: "Uncle, do you have any snakeheads here?"
"Black fish?" The old fisherman squinted his eyes, a pair of cloudy eyes swept over Xiao Han and others inadvertently, and said with a smile: "Yes, there are, but they are all kept at home. Come on, get on the boat, I will pull you
Let’s go home and get it together.”
"Really? Hahahaha!" When Xiao Jiang heard the old fisherman said there were fish at home, Xiao Jiang immediately beamed, jumped onto the boat, and urged impatiently: "Then let's go quickly, Brother Qi is still waiting for me below!"
"Brother Qi? Did you buy this black fish for Master Xiao?" The old fisherman was obviously very familiar with Brother Qi in Xiaojiangkou. He was startled when he heard this and asked subconsciously.
"Yes, Seventh Brother said he wanted to treat me to a black fish hot pot!" Xiao Jiang jumped on the boat and nodded proudly. It seemed that it was a great honor to be invited to dinner by Seventh Brother.
"Oh, then we need to catch two good fish!" The old fisherman also reacted at this time and replied with a smile, then picked up his pennies and prepared to push the boat away from the shore.
"Ahem, Mr. Marquis, this old guy seems to have a problem with us!" On the river beach, the silent idiot looked at the old fisherman's movements and muttered dissatisfiedly behind Xiao Han.
As soon as the old man docked, he noticed something was wrong.
A fisherman didn't ask the three of them if they were buying fish, and just talked to the child! Then he took the child home to get the fish. How can anyone in the world do this kind of business? He was not afraid of starving to death.
?
"Shut up."
In front, Xiao Han, who was thoughtfully speaking, shouted lowly at the fool, then turned around, smiled and offered his hands to the old fisherman and Xiao Jiang who had not yet sailed away: "You two, may I ask what the seventh brother you are talking about is Xiao Qi?"
