Fang Rui rummaged around in the room and found fishing gear from five years ago.
I checked the fishing hook and found that it had some yellow rust, but it was still sharp. Even if I pulled the thread with little force, it was still strong and could withstand normal pulling force.
Fang Rui tied the fishhook with silk thread, then found two lead weights and threaded them on the silk thread. He tied the silk thread into a knot about two centimeters away from the fishhook. Then he cut a two-meter-long silk thread with scissors and found
Make a strong small bamboo stick, tie the other end of the silk thread to it, and then wrap the silk thread around the bamboo stick, connecting the weight and the fishing hook.
The simple tool for eel fishing is now complete.
I took a hoe and dug dozens of earthworms into the water pit in front of the house. It didn't matter how big or small they were, and then put them in a disposable cup. In order to prevent the earthworms from crawling out, I sprinkled some carbon ash in the box. The earthworms were covered with dust.
If it is contaminated with carbon dust, it can only squirm and roll but cannot crawl.
After handing the fishing tackle and earthworms to Lao Bian, Fang Rui put the fish basket on his shoulder again, gave Lao Bian a bucket, and helped him find a straw hat for him to wear.
The three of them walked towards the field.
Walking through the field path, the wind carrying the smell of water cordyceps blew by, swaying the green seedlings in the farmland, swaying. Look at the green seedlings in the field, exuding vigorous vitality.
The vitality and growth are very gratifying.
Occasionally, there are a few scattered white figures swaying in the two mounds of fields. They are walking on slender, maroon legs, and from time to time they peck into the water with their long pointed beaks. When they raise their heads, their pointed beaks
There will be a live little loach struggling desperately.
Suddenly there is a sound or movement, and a long cry will be heard. The white figure will spread its wings and fly into the sky. It will circle in the sky for several times. When it sees that there is no danger, it will land its light body in the field again.
The blue sky covers the white clouds, the water birds and the green fields complement each other, the clear river winds beside the fields, and the majestic and graceful Mount Li not far away. All these scenery complement each other, forming a harmonious and moving natural scenery.
painting.
Lin Fangfang, who had long been tired of staying in the city, was stunned when she saw it and praised how beautiful nature is.
Lin Fangfang stopped and walked around. This curious baby was interested in almost every blade of grass and every flower, holding up her mobile phone to take pictures. Lao Bian followed behind her, echoing stupidly. The two of them lingered, unable to leave.
Gradually, I forgot that I followed Fang Ruilai to catch eels.
Looking at Lin Fangfang's crazy girl Jin who had never seen the world, and looking at Lao Bian's worthless servant appearance, Fang Rui was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. After thinking about it, he took a set of fishing tackle and a bag containing earthworms from Lao Bian.
Cup, go make your own eel.
……………………
Monopterus eels are also called eels. They are slippery and have no scales. They usually live in ponds, rivers and lakes. They are shaped like snakes and are a very interesting animal. Monopterus eels spend their lives as both mothers and fathers. They develop
When they reach sexual maturity for the first time, they are females. After laying eggs, when they reach sexual maturity for the second time, they become males again.
Monopterus eels living in farmland will drill several holes in the mud, and then leave corresponding openings on the mud surface. When eels lay eggs, they will spit out a bunch of white bubbles at the entrance of the hole, and the fertilized eggs will develop on the water surface with the help of the buoyancy of the bubbles.
.This kind of eel cave is the best to find, and once you find it, it will not be a hollow.
It can be said that Fang Rui grew up wild in the fields and rivers. He has been fond of doing these things since he was a child. Fang Rui's eel catching skills are very good, and he also likes eel fishing because fishing is more exciting than the process of catching eels.
A sense of accomplishment.
The eel's eating habits are also quite interesting. It does not bite flatly, but with its mouth pointed upward. When fishing for eels, the eel bites very hard. If you look at the right moment, you will catch it with a sharp bite, and it will not let go easily.
.
At this time, the eel fisherman will use all his strength to drag the eel out. The eel's mouth will be pierced by the fishing hook and it will suffer great pain. It seems to know that its life is imminent, so it will wrap the eel's body around the curved cave and the soft mud, and try its best to struggle and resist.
A small eel is just fine, and struggling is in vain. When encountering a big eel, the eel fisherman is afraid of breaking the fishing hook wire and tearing the eel's mouth, resulting in failure. So he does not dare to use too much force.
strength, so humans and eels will experience a game.
Eel fishermen enjoy the process.
Fang Rui lowered his head and searched for a cave on a field ridge. Most eels like to dig holes on the edge of the field ridge, and then drill into the field ridge desperately, because the deeper they drill, the higher the safety factor. Many field ridges have
They drilled through them, and then the water in the field leaked out until everything was gone. So many old farmers love and hate the eels. Of course, there are also eels that dig holes in other places in the fields to nest...
.
……………………
When a field ridge came to the end, Fang Rui found the first hole. The hole was not big, only as thick as a thumb, and the black color went straight to the bottom of the mud, like a bottomless pit. He could tell that there were even eels in the hole.
It's not much bigger.
The eels were boring to catch, so Fang Rui didn't want to use a fishing rod, so he just caught them, it was simple and straightforward. But he hadn't caught eels in many years, so Fang Rui still wanted to experience the taste of eel fishing first.
Fang Rui knelt down and lowered the fishhook with the earthworm on it to the entrance of the hole. He moved his wrist up and down, causing the fishhook to rise and fall on the entrance of the hole, creating the illusion that a living creature was having fun, so as to attract the eel's attention and attract it.
come over.
I kept moving my wrist, and dozens of seconds passed, but there was no silence in the cave.
Fang Rui was not impatient and continued to pull the hook. After about half a minute, a black object was gradually revealed in the hole, which was the head of an eel. Like all predators, eels are also very cunning.
Yes, it will approach the target quietly at first until the target is right next to its mouth. After it is sure of the target, it will suddenly kill it.
This eel was not big, only about the thickness of a little finger. It opened its small eyes and kept its mouth in front of the moving fishing hook, seeming to be smelling and watching. Anyway, it did not open its mouth in a short period of time.
Fang Rui was very calm, smiled lightly, and still moved his wrist.
The eel launched an attack, and suddenly opened its mouth, only to hear a suction sound, and the fishhook entered its mouth. After the eel bit the bait, its body quickly shrank into the hole, which is their usual style.
Fang Rui pulled hard and the hook successfully caught the eel's mouth.
Fang Rui lifted it up again, and the eel was pulled out of the hole.
The eel will still struggle desperately after it is pulled out of the hole, and it is more difficult to take out the fishhook after it is hooked into the eel's mouth. If a novice is inexperienced, it may take a long time to get it out. But for Fang Rui, this is too childish.
, he did not put the eel still on the fishing hook into the fish basket, but squeezed the eel's lower jaw with one hand to prevent it from struggling anymore, so that it would be easy to remove the hook.
Take out the eel and put it into the fish basket.
Fang Rui threaded the fishing hook back on the earthworms and lowered his head to look for them again.
After circling the field, Fang Rui harvested two more fish. Fang Rui patrolled from field to field, and would search in the middle of the field from time to time. After forty or fifty minutes, there were more than twenty fish in the basket.
A strip of eels. These eels are as small as chopsticks, and there are more than two taels of large ones. The total added up is probably more than a pound.
