1158. Those traditional fishing methods (4)

After the two fishing boats were hung with red flags, Ao Muyang added colorful flags below. The sea breeze blew, and it was whistling, at least looking very majestic.

He stood a bamboo on the boat with small red envelopes and copper coins hanging on it. This is called the fortune-telling tree. During the Chinese New Year, it will bring good luck to the fishing boats in the coming year.

Without cleaning the fishing boat, it would be very easy to pack it up. Ao Muyang took Zhu Zhu and Liu Mei, and the sixth sister was finished, and the sun was still high.

Zhu Zhu looked at him with eyes and said, "I have nothing to do, why don't you go and find Xiao Niu and the others. They can't play with computers and mobile phones at home now. I guess they're not on the lake and they're going to work on the mountain."

The little girl's heart was already wild. She had been in school for a semester and finally survived the holiday. However, because of Lu Wuyu, Yan Qingcheng did not bring her to the village and stayed in a busy city with traffic and steel and cement, but she was so suffocated.

After hearing Ao Muyang's words, she cheered and ran to the village with Zhu Zhu. The general and Lang Dalang Er were chasing each other, and she was not worried about what would happen to them.

Besides, Liu Mei followed Zhong Cang to practice free fighting. With her current strength and skills, ordinary men could not do anything to her.

It is already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow it is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. Most of the tourists who booked the New Year’s Eve dinner have come. This year’s village is much more lively than in previous years.

In winter, the mountains are dry and the wind is cold, and the Ambergris Lake is lonely and the scenery is not good, so the village is a bit boring for tourists.

The owners of several fishing houses in the village discussed and simply took tourists from their own families to the lake to catch fish, saying that they were using the old-fashioned method to catch New Year's fish.

When Ao Muyang got the news when he got home, he changed into rain boots and took the water to take a look. However, he saw that Lu Zhizi's face was not very good, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhizi smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's just that the young grandmother of the Cao family called me and forced us to go back for the New Year."

Ao Muyang asked, "How did you respond?"

"I listened quietly to her and hung up the phone."

Lu Zhizi said this easily, but Ao Muyang knew that it would definitely not be easy for her to make such a decision.

As a result, Lu Zhizi Huizhi Lanxin saw his thoughts and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to have any relationship with her and her family, but Xiaoxiao has lived with them for twenty years. In the past twenty Spring Festivals, they were together. I don't know if it's appropriate for me to make this decision for him."

Ao Muyang said: "It's very suitable. What do you think Xiaoxiao has for the Cao family? Besides, Sister Yan is here. For Xiaoxiao, wherever Sister Yan is, the family is where."

"What do you say to you..."

"What does this have to do with me? To me, you must be wherever you are."

"The desire to survive is very strong, but what I said is Brother Feng's words to you." Lu Zhizi raised his chin forward, and Ao Muyang turned his head in shock and saw Ao Mufeng waving to him outside the door.

Ao Mufeng waved his hand and said, "Village Chief, please help me borrow a bamboo fish basket from Man Ye's house. I'm going to take a few tourists to the lake to bring a fish basket to grab the fish."

Ao Muyang said: "You just borrow it yourself."

Ao Mufeng grinned and said, "Mr. Man doesn't let someone enter his house. I guess he will be pulled out with a big broom if I knock on the door and don't wait to open it."

This is the truth. Ao Muyang said to Lu Zhizi: "Don't think about those unpleasant things. Let's go and take you to the lake to see them catch fish."

Lu Zhizi smiled and said, "What's the best thing about catching fish in the lake?"

Ao Muyang said: "You have never seen the method of catching fish before. And when you go to see tourists catch fish, they are laymen and can always create a lot of jokes. Sister Yan, are you going?"

Yan Qingcheng changed into a red swallowtail windbreaker and said, "Go, relax."

Just like the slipping mud board, Longtou Village also retains some quite ancient fishing tools and fishing methods, such as net bags, blocks, ospreys and bamboo fish baskets that Ao Mufeng wants.

The slipping clay board appeared at the latest in the Tang Dynasty, and the bamboo fish baskets had a longer history, which may have appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This kind of fish basket is similar to an ordinary basket, with a big belly and a small mouth. There is nothing strange about its opening from the front. If it can be seen from the inside, it will be different. The opening is complicated and some sharp bamboo sticks are inserted. The fish can swim in freely, but cannot swim out.

The efficiency of fishing in bamboo fish baskets is not high. In the past, it was used by fishermen who could not afford fishing nets. Now fishermen can afford fishing nets at least, so the fishing method of bamboo fish baskets has been eliminated because it is too slow to use this thing to catch fish.

Once some things are eliminated, they represent the demise of a period of culture.

This is the case with bamboo fish baskets. The weaving of this kind of fish basket is very skillful. First, the bottom of it is inlaid. After lifting it up, you can pour out the fish by opening the bottom of the basket. This is easier. The difficult thing is to deploy the bamboo sticks at the opening, which requires that the fish swim in easily, and they cannot swim out. It is not possible to rely on the bamboo tip alone.

Only the old man Ao Zhiman in Longtou Village can weave fish baskets, and the fish baskets in other people's homes have been thrown away because this thing has been useless in the past few years.

Ao Muyang and Lu Zhizi knocked on the old man's door. The old man was watching his grandson polish a stone, which was ordinary sandstone. When he saw someone coming in, he quickly put it away, as if it was a treasure.

After hearing the purpose of his visit, he went to the wing room to find two bamboo fish baskets and said, "Oh, it was snowing two years ago that crushed my house. The fish baskets in the past were all inside and were crushed together. I repaired these two later. After the Spring Festival, I will weave a few more after the willow trees are sucking branches. You can use these two first."

Ao Muyang said, "Okay, Master Man, please make up some next year. It's not enough. There are probably many people in the village who want to buy this thing."

He gave the fish basket to Ao Mufeng, who thanked him, and then ran away with a gust of wind.

There are few bamboo fish baskets, and some people take tourists to restart another fishing method, which is the maze formation in the lake.

The Lake Maze Array is also called the trap method sealing array, which is also a traditional fishing method. It is not only a method, but also a facility. It needs to occupy a piece of water and set a trap for passing fish. It is quite large in scale. It requires a large net, a large net, a shelf net, and a variety of nets to cooperate to surround the fish.

This method is more vicious. As long as you reduce the mesh and use it on the terrible net, you will never run away if you fall into it. A few years ago, the Fisheries Bureau strictly prohibited the use of this fishing method in public waters, and was severely punished.

Now Ambergris has been contracted by Ao Muyang, and it is not a public water area, so it is okay to restart this method to open the eyes of tourists.
