0187 The Great Harvest
When the three of them arrived at Datuowa, it was drizzling in the sky. I wonder if it would rain heavily.
However, a fishing center has been developed here, and facilities for sheltering wind and rain are built by the lake, so you are not afraid of getting wet.
Zeng Zhi is the boss here and a local villager. He uses his own fishing gear, so the fishing center naturally does not charge any fees.
Not only Zeng Zhi does not charge fees, but also does not charge fees for everyone in the village and Qili Community, which are the two villages and communities, which are fishing. This is a benefit for locals.
After all, Datuowa was originally a collective asset that combines the village and Qili community.
However, when there are many guests, local villagers cannot occupy the seats. This is the key point that Zeng Zhi has always emphasized, and no one dares to violate it yet.
……………………
It’s a bit stuffy on rainy days, and the fish all float to the water to inhale oxygen, so the effect of fishing by the lake is very good. No matter how big or small fish are, they will always eat hooks and will not make the angler too bored.
Zhang Guosheng is a veteran fishing expert. In a short while, he caught three crucian carp, a big loach, and a few grass carp. He was so happy that he asked Zeng Zhi proudly: "Brother, according to my fishing method, will he catch all the fish in the lake?"
Zeng Zhi smiled and pointed at Huang Yuanyu, saying, "Mr. Zhang, you have good fishing skills, you can make a profit without losing money. Just fishing can make a fortune. But look at Senior Brother Huang, for so long, you haven't caught a thousand-year-old flower. Judging from his appearance, if you can't catch it, you may jump into the lake and touch a few."
The so-called thousand-year-old flower is a very common fish in local rivers and lakes. This kind of fish basically cannot grow big, and it is considered good if the size of a thumb is the same.
Huang Yuanyu blushed with anger and said in anger: "Is there something wrong with my hook? I have caught so many people, and I don't even bite them. How do you ask me to catch them? I have changed the bait three times, but I still don't eat it. What's going on? But... junior brother, you didn't seem to have caught any fish, right?"
Zeng Zhi tilted the bucket beside him, showed him what was inside, and smiled and said, "I set the buoys to use live insects, mainly shrimp fishing. What do you compare with me? Even so, I have caught more than ten grass shrimps, and I will catch more than ten more, and a fried shrimp will be available. But you two are foodies, so I must fish more, otherwise it will not be enough for you to get between your teeth."
Zeng Zhi's words made Huang Yuanyu even more depressed and muttered: "Don't talk about me like a bucket, I... Damn, I finally got the hook..."
Huang Yuanyu shouted excitedly, lifted the fishing rod and pulled it up, but the things at the bottom of the water were very heavy, and the fishing rod was bent into a bow shape, and the fishing line was straight, as if it was hiding in the mud, and the struggle was turbid. Huang Yuanyu slipped his hand, and the fishing rod was almost pulled away by the things at the bottom of the water. He was startled and hurriedly held the second half of the fishing rod and pulled it back desperately.
Zhang Guosheng also ran over to help and shouted, "Don't hurry, slow down, don't fight hard with the fish, this will break the rope. At this time, its strength is strong, you have to follow its direction and go around in circles with it. Haha, with such a great force, it must be a big guy, and I'm ready for the net bag."
Huang Yuanyu shouted excitedly: "No, I have never caught such a big fish, so I can't hold on anymore. It wants to drill into the aquatic plants. Hurry up, help me. If it enters the aquatic plants, this guy will escape. Junior brother, I'll leave the fishing rod to you, I'll take a break first..."
When he said this, the things under the water had actually drilled into the water plants and should have been entangled in the line. Huang Yuanyu couldn't pull it anymore, so he handed the fishing rod to Zeng Zhi.
……………………
After Zeng Zhi took over, he realized that he had been fooled. He laughed and said nothing.
At this time, he could feel the fish at the bottom of the water being hiked deep into the aquatic plants in horror. As long as the aquatic plants are wrapped enough, it can break the fishing line.
Zeng Zhi pulled back a few times and found that he couldn't pull it. The ball of aquatic plants in front moved a little to the shore. However, the fishing line was stretched straight, and if it had a little more strength, it would probably be broken.
Since I didn't directly feel the strength of the fish, I couldn't guess how big it was. The water plants interfered with his judgment. There was no way. If I didn't go into the water at this time, I could only cheat and use my true energy to assist me.
Zhang Guosheng had already started to sigh and shook his head and said, "It's over. After getting into such a large ball of aquatic plants, you must have escaped. Just break the fishing line and pick it up again, which will save the most time."
As he said that, he had returned to his chair and began to continue fishing for him.
Zeng Zhi responded with a smile, secretly poured the innate true energy into the fishing line, wrapped the aquatic plants seven or eight meters away and the fish in the aquatic plants, slowly pulled them to the shore, and smiled proudly while operating: "Who said the fishing line will definitely break? Didn't you notice that there are no other aquatic plants around this aquatic plants. It should have just floated, and it did not take root or entangle things. This fish thought it was safe to hide in the aquatic plants, but he didn't know that after hiding in the aquatic plants, his sense of water flow was also weakened. It did not struggle at all at this time, but instead gave me a chance."
While speaking, Zeng Zhi pulled the aquatic plants to the shore in front of the two of them.
……………………
The big fish hiding in the aquatic plants also found something wrong and began to struggle desperately, but the aquatic plants blocked it. The aquatic plants blocked its escape route. The more they struggled, the closer they became, and finally wrapped like a rice dumpling without any strength to struggle.
Zeng Zhi used the net bag to help him, dig up the excess water plants, and finally caught the tightly wrapped big fish.
Everyone looked carefully and laughed. No wonder they were so fierce. They were actually a big old turtle, holding it in their hands, weighing about seven or eight pounds. I don’t know how many years it took to grow so big.
Although the Datuowa Reservoir has only been built for more than fifty years, it does not mean that the organisms here only have a lifespan of about fifty years at most. Because before the reservoir was built, it was originally a river valley, and fish were living in it before.
The old turtle shrank its head into the shell, and there were a few tough aquatic plants wrapped around its head, and its limbs were motionless. The back was darker and the skirt under the shell was very thick. This was the most delicious part of the old turtle and the most meat part.
Overall, the old turtle meat tastes smooth and tender, and it has no chewyness. Not everyone likes to eat it. But the old turtle soup is extremely delicious, and it has various nourishing effects, so it is so amazing that after serving, there may not be anyone moving the meat, but the soup will definitely be drunk.
The older the old turtle is, the more expensive it is, the better the soup is, and the higher the nutritional value is. Therefore, the price of turtles in the market is one year, three years, and five years...the price varies greatly. The cheapest one is only more than 30 yuan per catty, and there are more than 60 yuan per catty, more than 90 yuan per catty, and more than 100 yuan per catty...
Like the wild turtle weighing seven or eight pounds that I caught today, it can no longer be measured by dozens or hundreds of yuan per pound. If it is sold to a big hotel, it will be sold as a whole, and 70,000 or eighty thousand may be snatched.
