Chapter 518: Poking the Bream's Nest

After another day of preparing the bait, it is finally time to catch herring.

At 5:30 in the evening, the three of them finished their meal early and gathered in the Qin family's yard to prepare things.

A mosquito net and fifteen bamboo poles.

Just like the last time I fished on the island, I set up a fishing rod array and fished with a dull rod.

However, this time we were on the shore, where there were many underwater obstacles. I was afraid of getting stuck on the bottom, so I could only use fruit corn and snail meat to fish on the bottom.

A float is placed ten centimeters away from the sub-line to keep the bait away from the bottom.

Three women were also chatting in the yard, watching them pack up.

"I'm really addicted to fishing."

"That's right, it's late at night, and you're going to be dying of heat if you go out."

The three little guys were playing happily together. After Qin Dahe finished cleaning up, he picked up Qingci.

"Dad went fishing for big bluefish."

"Oh!"

I touched my daughter's hair with a smile. Her skin was so tender.

When he turned around and saw that his son also wanted him to hold him, he changed the child.

He deliberately carried the baby to the door and knocked on it with his hand, pretending to bump into it.

Then she held his head and stroked it back and forth. "Oh, it doesn't hurt."

"Wow!" The kid thought he had bumped into the door and immediately burst into tears.

"You're so annoying. You only know how to tease kids." Yanyan took her son in with displeasure. How could a father be like this?

The others were also amused. They cried even though they were not hit. It was really funny.

"Hey, let's go." He excitedly picked up the "key" to the tricycle and started the engine.

You can't put bamboo poles in a Land Cruiser unless you open the trunk. It's better to drive a tricycle, at least it's cooler.

Erhu and Tiedan also got in the car, drove out of the yard, and headed towards Longwang Turn.

When they arrived at the place, Qin Dahe went to make a nest first. It took him a while to throw out the five-pound snails with a nesting spoon.

Hanwaer and Erhu are leveling the ground, and they will have to set up the mosquito net later.

The three of them were busy working, feeling very excited.

Today marks the fourth day of breeding. At the very least, the fish should have started to spawn. It would be enough to catch five or six big ones in one night.

The fishing rod is made of three and a half meters of raw bamboo, and the fishing line is twelve meters long. It is cast directly with a bait spoon.

After setting up the bait with corn on the upper hook and snail meat on the lower hook and throwing it out with a bait spoon, the formation is set up and the next step is to wait for the fish.

It was not yet dark and the warmth of the evening was still there. After finishing their work, everyone went into the water.

It's too hot.

There was almost no one on the road at this moment. The priest of the Dragon King Temple came over and took a look speechlessly.

Daring to fish in the Dragon King Temple and even swimming in the water, he is truly ignorant and fearless.

Other villagers really don’t dare to do this, but the Qin family father and son have come here to fish more than once or twice, so they don’t care.

After washing, wear these big shorts to keep cool.

"Ce, there are so many mosquitoes." The three of them ran into the mosquito net cursing.

After lighting the mosquito coils, it was still very comfortable inside.

It is quite pleasant to sit on the waterproof cloth, smoke a cigarette, feel the wind from the Yuxi River, and watch the sunset slowly set.

Of course, it would be more poetic if the two rough men on the side were replaced by women.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly. Erhu was picking his toes.

"Erhu, when are we going to buy a car?"

"Let Tiedan help me look after it. Let's buy a second-hand Santana for 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. Sometimes I have to run there before I go out to pick up a job."

"A second-hand Santana is so expensive?"

"Well, Tiedan's master said that the Santana holds its value well, unless you buy a Xiali."

"Ce, it's better to spend some money to buy a new car." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"Do you think everyone is as rich as you? Everyone is guessing when you will change to a Mercedes-Benz." At this point, Erhu's face was excited: "When will you get a Mercedes-Benz with a tiger logo so that I can drive it too?"

"Get lost! I can't afford it! It's over a million dollars," he said speechlessly. "With that money, I'd buy a yacht."

Who doesn't know that the Hutouben is awesome? Not only is it expensive, but the insurance and maintenance costs are also terrifying, and the parts-to-whole ratio is even more exaggerated. A simple scratch can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

He only buys a Mercedes-Benz because he is bored. If he had that money, he would buy a second-hand yacht.

It will be so cool to go to the Yangtze River and fight the giant monsters.

The Yangtze River is ten thousand meters wide, so there must be many giant creatures in the middle and lower reaches.

"It's a good idea to buy a yacht." Silly Kid agreed. He also thought yachts were better. His elder brother was good at fishing and could make money.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, but they all kept their attention on the bell.

After smoking two cigarettes, he became restless again and went out to change bait.

It's quite troublesome to replace all fifteen fishing rods.

After finishing, Qin Dahe took out a few bottles of ice cola from the fishing box. This thing has a very good heat preservation effect.

The cool cola went down my throat, making me feel comfortable. "Is bottom fishing okay?"

"Of course it will work. Even if there's no black carp, there are still bream, grass carp, and black carp."

As they were talking, the bells on both sides rang at the same time, and Hanwa and Erhu went out.

The five in the middle belong to Qin Dahe.

Sighing, he picked up the scoop net and followed him out, but unfortunately it was of no use.

Both of them caught bream, and as he predicted, they pulled it up directly with their hands.

"Pot lid minnow."

"What the hell is this pot-lid minnow? This is a bream." Erhu happily put the fish into the fish basket.

"Tsk, I'm such a big boss, I'm not here in the middle of the night for a little fish." He curled his lips and went back into the mosquito net. There were too many mosquitoes outside.

There are many fish in the summer, but fishing is also difficult. It is hot during the day and there are many mosquitoes at night, which is a real test for the fisherman's determination.

Spring is the best season of the year. The mosquitoes in autumn are more poisonous than those in summer, and they bite people even during the day.

Two breams came ashore, and it seemed that our luck was better.

Half an hour later, Silly Boy caught another small black carp, and just like during the day, he threw it back directly. Qin Dahe changed the bait again.

I have to change it. He hasn't moved for more than an hour, and there are five rods.

As the bait spoon is gently cast, one sub-line after another is cast out.

Then he started to mend the nest.

"That doesn't make sense. We've been fishing for four days, so we should have at least two black carp."

"Ce, last time I was hanging corn in Big Bay, I sat there for four hours and didn't catch a single bite." Erhu said disdainfully. "Fishing is not farming. If you find a nest, the fish must come."

"."

That's the truth, but he's not willing to do it.

After thinking about it, he turned off the lights again.

"Why turn off the lights?"

"I'm afraid of scaring the fish. I have nothing to do anyway." After saying that, he lay down directly on the waterproof cloth and rested his head with one hand.

He remembered reading in a book that unnatural light would make fish more alert and would not linger around.

"You're so particular, let's see who catches the most fish at night."

The moonlight is still bright at night, so I will use the flashlight to change the bait later, and then turn on the light after I catch the fish.

Lying on the waterproof cloth, it feels much cooler, and even makes you want to sleep.

He was about to fall asleep with his eyes half closed when the bell started to ring again.

The three of them stood up together. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise they would have been scared to death. They were just like zombies.

"Fuck, it's finally my turn." Qin Dahe excitedly stepped forward and pulled the fishing rod.

It felt wrong right from the start, too light.

I just pulled it out directly. I brought line 10 today and I’m not afraid of cutting it.

People went straight up the gentle slope. The space here was small, and if they pulled horizontally, the fifteen fishing rods would get tangled.

"Bream." The silly kid shouted and pulled it up with his hands.

"Damn, did I disturb the bream's nest today?" He cursed and cast the rod again, and changed the bait on the other fishing rods as well.

Then they refilled the nest. After working for a long time, they were all hungry. The three of them only caught three breams.

"Forget it, let's heat up the food." Erhu sighed and started to make a fire.

As the bright firelight rose, it cast long shadows on people's bodies.

Combined with the chirping of insects and birds around, it's quite creepy.

A big pot was placed on the fire. This big pot was their standard equipment when they went fishing.

Put the dishes I cooked on top and eat them with cold buns later.

Because there were so many mosquitoes, several people went into the mosquito net when the fire started.

"We have to find a way tonight, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves if we catch a few small fish when we get back." Erhu said with a bitter face.

Hanwa and Qin Dahe nodded at the same time.

Now I have a family and I can’t go out if I go fishing all night and still come up empty-handed.

"How about we change it to one hook with snails? One hook with corn and fish the bottom?"

"Okay, I'll change the bait after dinner."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound started again from Hanwa's side, and he immediately went over to pick up the fishing rod.

After a while, another bream came into the water, and Qin Dahe was too lazy to complain.

"Eat, eat."

Put the pot directly inside the mosquito net, because the mosquitoes outside will eat people.

It tastes pretty good with steamed buns and salted duck and roasted soybeans.

The soybeans have been stewed until soft, and the salty duck is full of aroma.

I ate three steamed buns before I felt better. I took a sip of Coke and felt very happy.
