Chapter 181 Alternative Fishing Method (Third Update)
Dijiazi's matter was simply dealt with, and the three of them led the four Yuanbao Niangs and headed all the way towards the mountains.
Going for the blue-scaled fish, Yuan Bao found some wild animals on the way, but Lu Lu didn't provoke them.
Non-stop all the way, the more than 20 miles of mountain road can be completed in only one and a half hours.
When we arrived at the small river, the sun had just climbed up the mountain, which was just right.
After taking a short rest, Lu Lu took a closer look along the river and noticed three places where rocks blocked the flow of water and the flow was relatively rapid.
In these places, the blue-scaled fish are more difficult to cross, which blocks a lot of fish, at least twenty or thirty fish in one place.
After choosing the place, Lu Lu gave the three fishhooks to Chen Xiuqing and his sister.
Originally, I only planned to call Chen Xiuqing, and one of the three fishhooks was kept as a spare. Now, Chen Xiuyu has also arrived, and it is just in use.
Seeing this fishhook, Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu were both in a daze.
"Brother Lu, how come this hook is made like this? It looks like an insect with wings... What should we use as bait?"
In the past, she had never seen Lu Lu hunting. She only heard what Chen Xiuqing said, and she just felt that he was very powerful.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu gathered together by the river. One used a knife to scrape the scales, dissect the fish's internal organs and remove the gills, while the other was responsible for carefully cleaning it in the river.
Chen Xiuyu also took the hook and looked through it, pouting and blowing on the two locks of yellow leather tail hair on it, then blinking her big eyes and looking at Lu Lu, waiting for his answer.
After grinning, he went to collect firewood honestly.
Chen Xiuyu reacted quickly and grasped the key points immediately.
To him, these fish jumping alive in the bag, although he doesn’t know how much they can be sold for, are still money.
Attracted by the hairy hook on the surface of the water, the two of them saw a green-scaled fish, about a pound in size, biting towards the hook.
He threw the hook into the river, holding the fishing rod in his hand and shaking it gently.
Lu Lu demonstrated while talking.
Lu Lu smiled at her and encouraged: "Come on!"
"Yes, as long as you have the skills, you can make money in anything you do...Brother, go collect firewood!"
Chen Xiuyu curiously put the bag on the ground, then looked at the frightened fish inside that were flapping in the water, and then looked at Lu Lu. She suddenly understood why her brother had so much confidence in Lu Lu.
"That's what it means!"
After listening to Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu's words yesterday, the word "making money" took root in his heart.
Lu Lu also kept staring at the water. When the blue-scaled fish bit the hook, he raised it very quickly. The green-scaled fish that bit the hook was immediately lifted up and kept shaking its tail.
Water droplets splash.
Continuously throwing the hook is to imitate the falling of insects. This process is also called throwing the hook. This is a very different fishing method. In this wilderness, it is only suitable for catching blue-scaled fish."
Lu Lu told the brother and sister the secret, and urged with a smile: "This fish is not common, hurry up and catch it according to my method. Let's catch more today and send it to the district to sell together tomorrow. If I remember correctly, tomorrow
It’s time to go to the market again.”
"Green scale fish do not eat dead food, but only eat moths, caterpillars and other things that fell into the water from the trees on the shore. The hook I made is called a hair hook, and it is made to imitate the appearance of insects."
As Lu Lu said this, he took the knife and went to the side to cut off three branches with excellent toughness. After trimming them a little, he started tying the fishing line.
"Ah...Brother Lu, didn't you say you would sell it at the market tomorrow?" Chen Xiuqing was a little reluctant to give up.
Now, she had seen it with her own eyes.
Lu Lu smiled and nodded: "So, we don't need bait. This hook is a very good bait for the blue-scaled fish. Different from usual fishing, you have to ensure that the fishing line does not move around and disturb the fish.
When we use a hair hook to fish, we have to make the hair hook shake at any time to make the green scale fish think that the hook is a live insect.
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Chen Xiuyu said with a smile, "Brother Lu is still awesome."
When it comes to catching fish, most people have some tricks.
“Brother Lu’s intention is to make the green-scaled fish in the river mistakenly think that the hook is a worm?”
Continuously throwing hooks is a very boring process, but when something is gained, boring becomes fun because of the full sense of harvest.
As the two of them became more and more skilled, their harvests began to increase. In the morning, even Chen Xiuqing, the stupidest of the three, had caught thirteen fish, not to mention those of Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu.
There is a small river next to the fields below Xiushan Tun. Up and down the river, in addition to the larger meadows that have been reclaimed as paddy fields, there are also some puddles farther up and down, and there are some puddles in the river and in the puddles.
There are a lot of fish, and there is no one in the village, no matter male or female, who has not eaten fish from the river.
Chen Xiuqing looked at the fishhook in his hand, somewhat confused.
Chen Xiuyu caught the fish earlier than Chen Xiuqing. After taking the fish off, she immediately shouted happily: "Brother Lu, I caught a fish!"
Although he is just fishing, he is actually so knowledgeable inside.
However, the methods usually used were conventional, and this was the first time for the two of them to see such a strange hook.
As she spoke, she hurriedly took a bag from her backpack, filled it with some water from the river, and brought it over.
"When fishing, you must watch carefully. As soon as you see the hook being swallowed, lift the hook immediately without any hesitation. Otherwise, if you move slowly, the fish will swallow the hook into the water and if it feels something is wrong, it will immediately spit it out.
If you come out, you won’t be able to catch anything.”
No longer like the previous life, everything was endured silently, hidden in the bottom of my heart, and there was a lot of bitterness under the smile on my face.
Chen Xiuqing looked at Chen Xiuyu who was leaning next to Lu Lu and muttered in a low voice: "She's not married yet..."
Chen Xiuyu got closer and a lot of water droplets were thrown off her body. She smiled and dodged aside.
"You caught it just like that?" Chen Xiuqing couldn't believe it.
Chen Xiuyu also followed the urging without echo.
Lu Lu smiled and said, "Don't be reluctant. Although there are few fish, it is a rare delicacy. You can't treat yourself badly. This is not the only way to make money. As long as you have the ability, there is nothing you can't do to make money."
This is what girls should look like!
This is also what Lu Lu wants to see.
The method was in hand. The brother and sister each took a pole, tied it with a fishing line, and went to the two places chosen by Lu Lu. They followed Lu Lu's example and began to throw the hook into the river and shake the fishing rod.
After a few moments, Lu Lu retracted the hook and threw it into the water again.
Brother and sister Chen Xiuqing are naturally no exception.
Seeing her cheerful look, Lu Lu felt a little relieved.
At the beginning, both of them made quite a few mistakes. Either the hook shook too much or the hook was closed too slowly. However, after constant attempts, they quickly found the trick.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Lu called out, "Let's all rest for a while. Qingzi will collect firewood and light the fire. My sister will help me kill the fish. Let's grill the fish for lunch."
The brother and sister Chen Xiuqing looked at the hairy hooks floating on the water in the river. They looked like insects falling into the water and struggling.
Lu Lu took the fish off the hook and put it into the bag.
From childhood to adulthood, she has completely recognized that this is a very capable man, and her heart has become more and more at ease.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Lu asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Sister, if I come to propose marriage, will you... agree?"
Hearing this question, Chen Xiuyu's body suddenly stiffened, her head lowered heavily, her racing heart kept urging blood to flow towards her face. After a while, she calmed down and then said weakly: "Brother Lu... come when the time comes.
knew!"
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Lu suddenly laughed: "Okay!"
I recommend a friend's new book "Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty Maritime Business", which writes about salt production and business, and saving the Ming Dynasty from shipping. The excellent old author has good writing skills. Friends who like it can read it!
