Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 124 Chinese sturgeon?

  The table is full of seafood, chicken soup, and taro rice, which are richer than his home. This is the first time he has eaten taro rice this year.

  No, plus the previous life, it has been decades.

  In my previous life, I only stayed at home during the three-month moratorium on fishing, and I didn’t live with my son and daughter-in-law. I cooked a pot of rice for two days by myself, a bowl of boiled seafood, and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables. It’s as simple as it gets.

   (During the fishing moratorium, the trawlers at the small wharf here go there as usual, and there are also ground cage nets and Korean nets. The fishery administration is not strict. Only the big boats come strictly according to the regulations.)

   It's rare to eat it now, but he has a big appetite. A bowl of noodles in the afternoon is almost consumed by a trip to the mountains. Lin's mother packed the rice in the bowl for him, and he was not polite.

  Father Lin’s family also has a lot of children. Although the family is separated, but today the daughter and son-in-law come to the house for the festival, and the whole family must have dinner together.

   A large pot of taro rice was filled, and two or three bowls per person were pressed into it. Even the crispy rice around the bottom of the pot was so crispy that children could chew it in their hands.

It's so rare to eat. Mother Lin has never cooked it this year. In the past, they used to eat three meals a day of sweet potato shredded rice porridge. eat.

  If Lin Xiuqing came back alone, Lin's father and Lin's mother would not be so enthusiastic about cooking taro rice and killing chickens. After all, no one is rich these days.

  The son-in-law is the real jerk!

  After dinner, the sky also darkened a little. After autumn, the days are short and the nights are long.

  The room that the Lin family arranged for them was the room that Lin Xiuqing lived with a few sisters before she got married. After they got married, they lived in it for their children, and they specially vacated it today.

  The room is still an old-fashioned canopy bed, and there is a set of tables and chairs. The table is full of scratches and various writings, and there is a hole in some places. This is really a real solid wood table and chairs!

  The table was still full of textbooks. Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang climbed onto the stool as soon as they saw it, and reached for a book.

  Lin Xiuqing quickly stopped, "Don't move, this is your cousin's, if it is torn, I will take off your pants and beat you with a cane!"

  The two of them were so frightened that they quickly stopped, not daring to touch randomly.

   "You wipe them, I'll go to the door." Actually, I want to smoke.

  He has been running around all day today, or facing her family members, and he pays attention to them.

   As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw his brother-in-law holding a shrimp pot, and his brother-in-law holding a fishing net and holding a flashlight, his eyes lit up immediately.

   "What are you guys doing?"

  Lin Xianghui said with a smile: "I plan to go to the river at the foot of the mountain to catch some river prawns and eat them tomorrow. The ones you brought here today will be hustled at night."

  There is no refrigerator these days, and the shrimp and crab will be stale if left overnight, so Mother Lin can only cook and eat them in advance, leaving only sea bass and blue crab.

   Bass in the hanging well is not afraid of damage. As long as blue crabs are not bitten by mosquitoes, they can live for a few days.

Fearing that tomorrow there will be too many people to eat, Lin Xianghui and Lin Xiangrong plan to go to the river to catch a few nets of river prawns at night. For them in the mountains, river prawns are also a rare meat dish, and they are also very fresh. They also catch them every day. I often net some fresh fish and shrimp to sell in the village or town.

   "Seafood must be eaten while it is fresh, and it must not be left to spoil. It is still early to go to bed, and it is also idle. Let me go with you and see if the river prawns are good or not?"

  The two brothers-in-law looked at each other, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, you don't have to be afraid of mosquito bites. There are still a lot of mosquitoes now."

   "It's okay, I don't attract mosquitoes."

  After talking to Lin Xiuqing, Ye Yaodong hurriedly followed, helping to get the shrimp pot by the way.

   There is no big difference between the ground cage and the shrimp cage and crab cage.

  Shrimp cages and crab cages are both ground cages, but the ground cages are denser, the shrimp cages are thinner, and the mesh of crab cages can be larger. Ground cages are cages for fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. Shrimp cages are mainly used to store shrimps, but also fish.

  However, when you go down into the water, the horizontal mouth shrimp cage will also enter the fish, and the vertical mouth fish cage will also enter the shrimp, but the cage with large eyes can only catch fish.

  The river they went to passed by during the day, Ye Yaodong took a few extra glances at that time, wondering if there were any fish, shrimps and loaches in it with a bit of occupational disease, but he didn’t expect to come here at night with a flashlight to catch them.

  The village at night is unusually deserted. After all, it is not summer, and there are still people enjoying the shade.

  If there are still lights in the village, when you get out of the village, the small roads will be dark and dark, and you can’t see your fingers. It is very scary. Many people will not go out without special circumstances.

  At night, there is also a toilet at home, and the next day I empty it in the latrine. Few people go out to use the toilet at night, and they will fall into the latrine if they are not careful.

  Lin Xianghui and Lin Xiangrong took Ye Yaodong to the spot where they often put the cages. They also like to play, and Ye Yaodong has seen fishing rods in their home.

   They are all like-minded people.

   As a result, before they reached their destination, they heard a strange sound in the river. The sound of crackling water was familiar to all three of them, and joy flashed in their eyes.

  Ye Yaodong directly shone the flashlight on the water surface, and saw a bunch of fish jumping on the water surface, splashing layers of white flowers.

  He said happily: "You don't need to go to your usual fixed point, just here, it seems that there are a lot of fish in the river here."

   "Okay, let's try it here, anyway, shrimp pots can also enter fish, these fish come out at night to find food."

   "Ah Dong has been putting floor cages a lot now, he must be very proficient, let's put shrimp cages for you too?"

   There is no difference between the two cages in the end.

   "Okay, you guys use your hand to fish a wave of these fish first, and I will put a cage next to it."

  There are so many fish, don’t let them go for nothing!

  The two brothers-in-law rolled up their sleeves and went to work, but the river was quite wide and the water level was not shallow. It was difficult for them to fish standing on the bank, so they simply took off their clothes and pants and went into the water.

  The water in early autumn was freezing cold, but it was not unacceptable. The two shivered, and walked carefully into the river.

   At night, the fish are very active, and the two of them can easily net.

  Ye Yaodong was helping with the flashlight on the shore. By the way, he put the chicken intestines prepared in advance into the shrimp pot as bait. This was deliberately intercepted by the two brothers-in-law from Lin's mother in the afternoon, and was even talked about by Hao Yitong.

  After he finished baiting, he put the flashlight on the big rock to give them a little light, and he took the shrimp pot not far downstream to put it, and he could barely see it with the weak light.

   River prawns are easy to catch at night. They usually come out a lot at night and rest in their nests in the morning.

   This does not need to be stored for a day or two like the ground cage in the sea. It can be collected after waiting for 15-30 minutes.

  While waiting, he ran to his brother-in-law to see how many fish they had caught. By the way, he helped to use the flashlight, but he happened to see a fish with a long kiss next to his brother-in-law.

  He was startled and immediately said: "Brother, there is a Chinese sturgeon beside you!"

   That’s right, it’s the Chinese sturgeon!

  This rare fish that is endangered in later generations, he once chatted with his workers on a fishing boat, and was also popularized about caviar. Out of curiosity, he also searched the news.

  Lin Xianghui turned around in shock and looked around, muttering, "I vaguely saw a big fish swimming beside me, but the light was not good enough to see it clearly, and I'm not sure. Where did I go now?"

  Lin Xiangrong also hurriedly searched, "Is it real or not? It's really a Chinese sturgeon? Are you reading that right? Do you know this fish? Why do we have it here?"

  Although they have never seen it, they have heard of the name of the Chinese sturgeon. This is the famous Yangtze River fish king. Born in the rivers, grown in the sea.

"This fish appears in the Minjiang River. Your river is not far from the Minjiang River. It may be a tributary. Although it is rare, it is not impossible. I have seen this fish before, and I should have read it right. I think It has a pointed kiss and is long, and its kiss is about ten centimeters."

   "Really? Look for it, where did you go? I saw a big fish just now..."

   "Let's look separately, Adong, you watch more carefully on the shore, take a look at it from a distance..."

  The two brother-in-laws felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They like fishing and know something about some well-known fish. They know the value of this fish too well. If they can catch it, they will make a fortune.

  Ye Yaodong took a flashlight and took photos around the two brothers-in-law, but he didn't see any shadows, as if it was his illusion just now?

   "I didn't see where I went, maybe I misread it? It's impossible..."

  He was a little unsure if it was because of the bad light that he couldn’t see clearly, and the waves caused by the big fish in the water made him see wrong?

Lin Xianghui also hesitated and said: "I felt that there were big fish around, and I touched them several times with the hand fishing net, but they were too heavy to pull up. I thought it was a big grass carp or something, and I also caught it in the bucket I caught several big fish. But you said it has a long kiss, and I feel like I have vaguely seen it.”

  Ye Yaodong frowned, "Either you search for fish while fishing? If you can find the best one, come up if you can't find it. The water in the river is too cold. It's autumn, so don't catch a cold."

   "Let's look again, if we don't see it, forget it?"

   "If you see it, we can't throw the net with our hands, right? I heard that the Chinese sturgeon is very big. Will it run away when it can't get on the net?"

   "Is it a little too much for you to worry about it now? Are you still not sure? Dongzi suspects that he is wrong."

   "Think about it, is it okay? I already thought about what to do with the money I earned..."

   "Awesome, you will definitely make a fortune when you go back at night and close your eyes!"

  …

  Ye Yaodong listened to his two uncles chattering there, gossiping about the family while searching, and took a flashlight to take pictures everywhere, but after searching for a long time, he only caught some common small fish.

   "Don't look for it, you may have run away, or you may have misread it, and the water is very cold, so get up quickly, let's collect the shrimp pots, hurry up, the time is almost up, let's take a look first."

   "Where did you put it, let's swim over it, and help pull it up by the way."

   "Just downstream over there."

  The two brothers-in-law had been soaking for a while anyway, and it was not too late, so they went directly to help set up the net.

   "It hasn't been long since I put it away, why is it so heavy? Brother, come and help me, don't look for it anymore, it must be that Adong is dazzled or ran away, how can I let you look for it where you are?"

   "Oh, here I come."

  Ye Yaodong also stretched out his hand on the bank to help pull it, and found that it was really heavy, and he only put it on for less than 20 minutes, right? What is there so much in the river?

   "Damn it, it's in the shrimp cage!"
