Chapter 186 Jimmy, Aga
After Li Changle hung up all the baits and launched them into the water, he stretched his legs over the small bench and sat down, watching the fishing line slowly sinking. The three brothers didn't say anything, just waiting quietly for the fish to take the bait.
After sitting there and waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw the float on the fishing line click, and the hand holding the rod felt the hook bait tremble under the water.
This was a fish testing the fish. He held the fishing rod firmly without moving. When he felt the tugging force from the fish biting the bait, he raised the hand holding the rod hard and lifted the rod quickly.
After the eel takes the bait, you must immediately lift the rod and drag the fish out of the water, otherwise the painful eel will burrow around, get entangled in aquatic plants or get into obstacles, break the line and break the hook before escaping.
Brother Li saw the eel curled up into a ball after eating pain, and was pulled out of the water. He quickly caught the eel with a net, put it into the bucket, clasped its head with his fingers, and took out the hook.
Li Changle looked at the river eel in the bucket, which was not much thicker than a small tree branch, "Haha, it's open, keep working!"
Brother Li also had a fish biting the hook over there, and he pulled up a river eel weighing six or seven weight. Only the second brother Li had not pulled up a fish yet.
"This position is not good, I have to change the position to hook."
"Brother, can I trade with you?"
"No, I'll go to the front and give it a try." Brother Li said, changing his position and continuing to set the hook.
Half an hour later, Li Changle and Brother Li caught two river eels and a mandarin fish one after another, but there was still no movement from his fishing rod.
"I'm lucky enough to catch a few big ones, but I can't even catch one."
Fishing requires patience, but after waiting for an hour, Ah Le caught two river eels.
The eldest brother caught two river eels and a mandarin fish weighing more than a kilogram, but before he caught fish, his hands smelled as if he had touched feces.
Brother Li couldn't sit still anymore, so he put away the three fishing rods. Some only had a shrimp head left on them, and some only had a loach head hanging on them.
"I don't want to fish anymore. I haven't caught any fish for a long time. I might as well use a net to catch fish from the drainage outlet in front of me!"
When he and Li Changle went to look at the water in the grove just now, they saw a water gap draining water into the Chang Pond. On rainy days, there were especially many fish in this water gap.
"Second brother, I'll go with you!"
Li Changle couldn't bear to guard the fishing rod here. He picked up the big net and said to Brother Li: "Brother, you stay here and let's go over there and try to catch a few nets."
"You two are the butts of hozens, you can't sit still!" Brother Li laughed and cursed, waving to the two of them, "Go and get two nets and come back. When the rain stops soon, we should go back to work."
"Uh-huh!" Li Changle ran toward the water gap in front of him with a net and a bucket.
As soon as we reached the first water shortage, we heard the sound of splashing water coming from the water inlet covered with white foam.
"It's in stock!" Li Changle excitedly inserted the net into the water at an angle, held the handle and pushed the net toward the gap in the water, and quickly scooped it up, only to see loach, crucian carp, and river shrimp inside.
The most common ones are as small as the thickness of a toothpick, and as big as a little finger, and are as white and transparent as jade and snow.
The slender whitebait, which is only an inch long, has only one spinal cartilage that runs from the head to the tail. It is as tender and transparent as white as silver, with dense flesh, no scales or spines, no bones and no intestines, and the meat is delicate and not fishy at all.
taste.
"Ale, I caught a lot of whitebait, do you have any?" Brother Li asked excitedly.
"Yes, I have quite a few here." Li Changle carried the net over and said, "Look, this net must be seven or eight heavy, right?"
"Not bad, it can be sold for seventy-eight cents per catty!"
"It's more economical than fishing for eels!" Li Changle poured the fish into the bucket, put the net into the water again, pushed it slowly along the bank of the pond, and lifted the net when he reached a gap in the water.
There were also a lot of whitebait in the net, as well as a grass carp weighing one pound, some wheatear fish and loach.
"Ale, look, there's a rainbow over there!" Brother Li pointed to the top of the mountain in the south and shouted.
Li Changle turned around and looked around, only to see a beautiful rainbow stretching across the sky, flashing with colorful light. After holding it in for a long time, he said: "The storm has passed!"
"It's passed. You can go fishing tomorrow." Brother Li responded, carrying the net to the shore and fishing.
The two cheered so much that Brother Li, who was fishing, lost interest and ran over with a net, "Let me see how many there are?"
"The amount of whitebait you catch at one time weighs several ounces." Li Changle looked at him with a smile, "No fish of yours took the bait?"
"No, if you leave, the fish won't come." Brother Li picked up the net and fished it out by the pond. Suddenly there was a splash of water in the net bag, and the handle almost slipped into the long pond.
"Damn! That's so powerful!" He quickly grasped the handle and lifted the net out of the water. When he saw a big fish weighing five or six kilograms inside, he shouted excitedly, "A big mandarin fish.
"
Mandarin fish has a pointed head, flat sides, bulging back, and thick body.
Because its meat has many thorns and few, the garlic-like meat is white, tender and delicious. It is as famous as the Yellow River carp, Songjiang four-gill bass and Xingkai Lake white fish. It is known as one of the "four famous freshwater fishes" in my country.
"Let's take a look!" Brother Li and Li Changle both ran over with copy nets in hand. "Hey, brother, you are very lucky today. You will definitely get a big deal when you go to sea tomorrow."
Brother Li nodded cheerfully, "It's not in vain, plus the eel and the small one, it can be sold for seven or eight yuan."
Brother Li was also very happy, "The rain has stopped for a while, and the bucket is almost full. One person will catch two more nets, and then go back to work."
After the next two nets, they caught two more mullets, a carp, countless small whitebait, and some loaches. Then the three brothers called it a day and headed back.
"Brother, the typhoon has passed. Should we go to sea tomorrow morning or at midnight today?"
Brother Li looked at the sky and said, "You can go to sea at three o'clock tonight. There are still two days left on the day we chose. We will go with you Ah Wei tomorrow morning."
Li Changle nodded, "Then let's get up at two o'clock and go to the waterway to open the boat."
Brother Li took it and said: "Tonight I will go to the waterway with my eldest brother to open the boat. Then we will fill up the oil at the waterway. You can sleep a little longer at home, and then we will pull the things to the dock with Awei.
Just let it go to Adong’s house.”
"Okay!"
When we got home, only Li's father and a few children were at home. Zhou Ruonan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already gone to Nanshan to work.
"Abba, let's go to work. You and Xiaoyang will send the mandarin fish and eel to sell for money. Keep the whitebait and mullet to dry the fish, and burn the rest to eat."
"You go and do your work, I'll take care of it." Father Li was able to use some strength on his injured leg during this period, and he was able to walk a few steps without letting go of the crutch.
Li Changle and the others put away the fishing rods, then carried the hoes and shovels in baskets to the new foundation. When they arrived, they saw Chen Yongwei pushing the dump truck down the mountain.
After saying hello, Brother Li and Brother Li walked towards the mountain.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Li Changle looked at the dump truck he was pushing and asked with a smile: "The moviegoers are back!"
"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei smiled naively, "I've been back for a while. We watched the Waiguo movie, danced at the disco, the songs were nice, and the dances were nice and exciting."
"I know, Jimmy, Aga! Jimmy, Aga! Let's hold hands, come and dance the disco, love you in my heart, forget the sorrow and sadness..."
Li Changle twisted a few times while singing.
"Yes, yes, that's how it's sung." Chen Yongwei looked at him with admiration, "Brother, you can even twist like that."
"That's right, if I can't even dance to disco, no one will call me a slut who hangs out on the street every day." Li Changle kicked the dump truck, "Where did you get the new weapons?"
"Achan's family!" Chen Yongwei responded happily.
"How's it going? Do you have anything else to talk to Achan?"
"Yes, she talked about how she fished when her family was on the island. She also said that she only read two books and now she can only write her own name. If she could immigrate here earlier, she could read more books.
Already."
"I asked her to learn from my sister-in-law in the future..."
"Idiot, you don't need to teach her any knowledge. You can just teach her her name. Cultural people call this the fragrance of red sleeves!"
"Where did we get Xiangtian!"
Chen Yongwei poured the yellow mud into the hay shed and pushed the dump truck towards the mountain. "I will take Achan home. Uncle Jin said that the sea water has not receded yet and may not recede until tomorrow morning."
"We will sail out to sea tomorrow morning. Come over at half past two and we will go to the dock to wait for my brother."
"Okay, I can finally go fishing!"
"Yes, since there has been no money in the account for two days, Brother Tianqing Qian is going to send wood." When Li Changle said this, he suddenly remembered something, "When the work is over, I will go to my brother-in-law's house and let him take time to look at the wood."
"Wouldn't the wood cost a lot of money?"
"Yes, as soon as construction starts, the money will flow out like water."
When they arrived at the mountain, the yellow mud dug out by Mother Li and the others had piled up into a mountain. After the rain, the soil was loose, making it much easier to dig than on sunny days when the soil was hardened.
With the help of three people, the loess pile shrunk visibly to the naked eye. Grandma Chen, mother-in-law Li and her daughter-in-law speeded up their work, and the loess they dug could barely be supplied.
After finishing work, Li Changle took some whitebait and crucian carp and rode his bicycle to Li'ao. When he arrived at the bridge, he saw Li Changxi washing vegetables on the bank of the pond. "Sister, I brought you some whitebait and crucian carp."
"
"Why are you here now?" Li Changxi saw him coming home at almost dusk. He thought something had happened at home, so he didn't even bother to wash the vegetables and hurriedly walked to the shore.
"It's okay! Afa took me to Liyu Mountain to buy the wood from his friend. It should be delivered tomorrow. Let my brother-in-law take the carpenter to take a look when he has time."
"Oh! I was shocked." Li Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Your brother-in-law, the carpenter, has already called. His eldest brother will go with his fellow apprentices."
"Of course it would be best for Brother Zhang to bring the carpenter." Li Changle told her about selling pickled jellyfish.
"Tell your brother-in-law that we plan to repair the dilapidated houses in the back row first and move there first. It will be convenient for us to visit the construction site and so on."
"It's not bad. Once it's marinated, you'll get money again."
Li Changxi looked at him happily, "The house where your brother-in-law works was supposed to be completed tomorrow, but the typhoon delayed it for a few days. Your brother-in-law is still working overtime there!"
"It's okay. There have been a lot of typhoons in the past two months. Tell your brother-in-law that we are not waiting for a house to live in. Safety is the most important thing!"
