Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 181 Alternative Fishing Methods (Third Change)
Di Xingzi's matter was handled simply, and the three of them led Yuan Baoniang and the four of them to head towards the mountains.

Going for Qinglinziyu, Yuanbao found wild animals on the way, and Lu Lu didn't provoke them.

Non-stop all the way, more than 20 miles of mountain roads, it took only one and a half hours to finish.

When we got to the small river, the sun had just climbed the hill, just right.

After taking a short break, Lu Lu looked carefully along the small river, and found three places where rocks blocked the relatively fast-flowing water.

In these places, the green scale fish is more difficult to pass, and it blocks more fish. There are at least twenty or thirty fish in one place.

After choosing a place, Lu Lu distributed the three fishhooks to Chen Xiuqing's brother and sister.

Originally, they only planned to call Chen Xiuqing, and one of the three fishhooks was used as a spare. Now, Chen Xiuyu also came, and it happened to be used.

Seeing the fishhook, Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu were a little dazed.

"Brother Lu, why is this hook made like this, it looks like a bug with wings... what do we use as bait?"

Chen Xiuqing looked at the fishhook in her hand, feeling a little confused.

Chen Xiuyu also flipped through it with a hook, pouted and blew on the two locks of yellow leather tail hair, then looked at Lu Lv with big eyes blinking, waiting for his answer.

There is a small river beside the fields below Xiushantun. Along the river, except for the larger meadow that has been reclaimed into a paddy field, there are some water bubbles further up and down. The river and water bubbles are mixed. There are a lot of fish, and there is no one in the village, regardless of gender, who has not eaten the miscellaneous fish in the river.

When it comes to fishing, most of them have some means.

Chen Xiuqing's brother and sister are no exception.

However, the methods usually used are conventional, and this is the first time the two of them have seen such a wonderful hook.

"The green scale fish does not eat dead food, but only eats moths and caterpillars that fall into the water from the trees on the bank. The hook I made is called a hair hook, which is made to imitate the appearance of insects."

As Lu Lu said, he took the invasion knife, and cut three extremely tough branches aside, trimmed them a bit, and began to tie the fishing line.

"Brother Lu, do you want the green scale fish in the river to mistake the hook for a bug?"

Chen Xiuyu reacted quickly and grasped the point at once.

"That's what I mean!"

Lu Lu smiled and nodded: "So, we don't need bait. This hook is a very good bait for the green scale fish. Unlike usual fishing, we must ensure that the fishing line does not move around and does not disturb the fish. When we fish with a fur hook, we have to shake the hook at any time, so that the green scale fish thinks that the hook is a live worm.

Throwing the hook continuously is to imitate the falling of the bug. This process is also called throwing the hook.This is a very different fishing method. In this wilderness, it is only suitable for fishing blue scale fish. "

Lu Lu demonstrated while talking.

He threw the hook into the river, holding the fishing rod in his hand, shaking it slightly.

The Chen Xiuqing brothers and sisters looked at the furhooks floating on the surface of the river, they really looked like insects struggling in the water.

After a few strokes, Lu Lu retracted the hook again and threw it into the water again.

Attracted by the hairy hook on the water surface, the two of them saw a green scale fish about the size of a catty biting towards the hook.

Lu Lu also kept staring at the water surface. When the green scale fish bit the hook, he lifted it up very quickly, and the green scale fish that bit the hook was immediately lifted up, flicking its tail continuously, making Water drop splash.

Chen Xiuyu got close, 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.

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Chen Xiuyu said with a smile, "Brother Lu is the best."

As she spoke, she was busy taking a bag from the pannier, filling some water in the river and sending it over.

Lu Lu took the fish off the hook and put it in the bag.

Chen Xiuyu put the bag on the ground curiously, then looked at the startled fish in the water, and then looked at Lu Lu, she suddenly understood why her brother had so much confidence in Lu Lu.

In the past, she had never seen Lu Lu go hunting, and she had heard everything from Chen Xiuqing, but she seemed to be very powerful.

Now, she saw it with her own eyes.

Although it's just fishing, there's actually so much knowledge in it.

From small to large, she has fully agreed that this is a very capable man, and her heart has become more at ease.

"When fishing, you must watch carefully. As soon as you see the hook being swallowed, take it up immediately without any hesitation. Otherwise, if you move too slowly, the fish will swallow the hook into the water. If it feels wrong, it will immediately spit it out. If you come out, you won’t be able to catch it.”

Lu Lu told the brothers and sisters the trick, and urged with a smile: "This fish is rare, so hurry up and catch it according to my method. Let's catch more today, and send it to the district for sale tomorrow. If I remember correctly, tomorrow will be a fish." We can go to the market again."

The method was at hand, the two brothers and sisters each took a pole, tied a fishing line, and went to the two places chosen by Lu Lu. Following Lu Lu's example, they began to continuously throw hooks into the river and shake the fishing rods.

At the beginning, both of them made a lot of mistakes, either because the hook was shaking too much, or the movement of retracting the hook was slow, but after constant trials, they quickly found the trick.

Chen Xiuyu caught the fish earlier than Chen Xiuqing, and after taking it down, she immediately shouted happily: "Brother Lu, I caught a fish!"

Lu Lu smiled at her and encouraged her, "Come on!"

Seeing her cheerful appearance, Lu Lu felt a little relieved.

This is what girls should be like!
It was also what Lu Lu wanted to see.

It is no longer like in the previous life, where everything is silently endured, hidden in the bottom of my heart, and there is a lot of bitterness under the smile on my face.

As the two became more proficient in their skills, the harvest began to increase. In the morning, even Chen Xiuqing, the stupidest of the three, caught thirteen fish, let alone Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu.

Throwing the hook constantly is a very boring process, but when there is a harvest, the boring becomes fun, because of the full sense of harvest.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Lu greeted, "Everyone have a rest, Qingzi collects firewood and gathers fire, old girl comes to help me kill fish, let's grill fish for lunch."

"Ah...Brother Lu, didn't you say that you will sell it at the market tomorrow?" Chen Xiuqing was a little bit reluctant.

After listening to Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu's words yesterday, the word making money has taken root in his heart.

To him, these alive and kicking fish in the bag, although he didn't know how much they could sell for, were still money.

Lu Lu smiled: "Don't be reluctant. Although this fish is rare, it is rare and delicious. You can't treat yourself badly. Making money is not the only way. As long as you have the ability, why can't you make money?"

"Yes, as long as you have the ability, you can make money by doing anything...Brother, hurry up and collect firewood!"

Chen Xiuyu followed suit and urged.

Chen Xiuqing looked at Chen Xiuyu who had moved closer to Lu Lu's side, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not married yet..."

After grinning, he honestly went to pick up firewood.

Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu gathered together by the river, one of them scraped the scales with a knife to dissect the gills of the fish, and the other was responsible for cleaning them carefully in the river.

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...will you agree?"

Hearing this question, Chen Xiuyu's body froze suddenly, her head lowered heavily, her beating heart kept urging the blood to pool on her face, and after a while she calmed down, she said weakly: "Brother Lu...you will come when the time comes. knew!"

Hearing this answer, Lu Lu suddenly laughed: "Okay!"
