Chapter 701

This time, the fishing net Wang An took was a fine fishing net; the so-called fine fishing net is one where the holes are relatively fine, and small fish won't leak through.

The reason for using this kind of fishing net was that Wang An felt that feeding the two eagles and two golden eagles was too troublesome to pick fish meat every day, so it was better to feed them small fish directly.

The key is that every time he kills a fish, his hands are covered in blood and fishy, and the most awesome thing is that this fishy smell can't be washed off for a while.

Soon, Wang An arrived at the river, found two suitable locations, and threw the bait in.

After throwing the bait, Wang An didn't idle either, but ran to the upstream section far from the bait, and practiced throwing the net.

The reason it's upstream instead of downstream is that the fragrance of the bait flows downstream, so most of the fish gathered in the bait area also swim up from downstream.

If you throw the net from downstream, you will disturb the fish that want to come over to eat.

And once fish are startled, they will run around, and they won't settle down for a short time.

Throwing a net is absolutely a technical job. Wang An threw it several times in a row, and the whole fishing net was either a strip or a ball when it hit the water.

Clearly, it was the same action as Wang Dazhu, but this net just wouldn't open, no way.

Fortunately, Wang An has one biggest advantage, which is that the more he doesn't know how to do something, the more he wants to learn it.

Practicing over and over, throwing the net over and over... finally, hard work pays off. After an hour, Wang An finally learned how to throw the net.

And at this moment, Wang An was already covered in water. Of course, after this hour, Wang An also caught quite a few small miscellaneous fish.

A few white strips, a few boat nails, a few willow roots, and a few small crucian carp... and so on, anyway, they were all small miscellaneous fish, adding up to less than 2 jin of fish.

If it were normal, Wang An wouldn't want any of these small fish, but now, Wang An didn't throw away a single one.

Then he dug a small pit with his hand, scooped some water into the pit, and raised these small miscellaneous fish.

Feeling that the bait was almost ready, Wang An walked toward the bank where the two bait areas were located.

Throwing the net down, Wang An's heart was instantly filled with surprise, because this net was very heavy, there must be big goods.

Wang An tightened the rope, let go of the extra rope in his hand, and walked toward the carriage.

It was so heavy that Wang An absolutely couldn't pull it out.

Tying the rope to the rear beam of the carriage, Wang An shouted loudly at the horse: "Giddy up."

The big stallion dug its front legs and kicked its back legs, making the hemp rope on the fishing net creak.

Soon, under the power of the big stallion, the fishing net was finally pulled out.

Wang An called the big stallion to stop and flew toward the fishing net by the river.

It's just that the scene in front of him made Wang An stunned for a moment, and then he became full of surprised smiles.

Of course, he was indeed very surprised, but not to the point of ecstasy or anything.

Because besides fish, there were two "turtles" in the fishing net, quite big "turtles."

Of course, "turtle" is one of the local names, and many people just call it "turtle."

Turtles are commonly known as soft-shelled turtles, round fish, foot fish, but many places call them "soft-shelled turtles."

This thing is a relatively common thing in the Northeast of this era, and even the whole of China.

Of course, by the later era, this thing was basically all farmed, because although this thing's vitality is very tenacious, and it has the title of "thousand-year turtle," it actually has high requirements for water quality. These two turtles were quite big, visually estimated to be over forty centimeters.

When he dug them out of the fishing net, they wanted to bite Wang An, but fortunately, they didn't bite him.

Just when Wang An was pondering what to do with these two turtles in the evening, he suddenly discovered a very serious and well-known fact.

That is, no matter how you make this thing, and no matter how delicious it is, Mu Xueqing cannot eat it!

Because although this thing is a great tonic, if Mu Xueqing eats it, then without any special circumstances, the child in her belly will likely not be saved.

However, having finally caught such big turtles, it was absolutely impossible to put them back.

So after pondering for a long time, Wang An finally decided to send these two "turtles" away directly.

Otherwise, if the whole family eats, and only Mu Xueqing watches, that would be a very cruel thing.

Mainly, this is not the style of the Wang family! After digging out all the fish in this net, Wang An took the net and led the horse to the second bait area.

Throwing the net again, when Wang An dragged the net out with the help of the big stallion's power, a very magical thing appeared.

Because there were also "turtles" in this net.

And they were still two, although they looked not as big as the previous two, they weren't much smaller.

Wang An looked at these two turtles and was stunned!

Mainly, although this thing exists in every slightly larger river or lake in Heilongjiang, it's not an easy thing to catch this thing with a net.

Because normally speaking, turtles stay at the bottom of the water, and they are the kind that lie on the bottom of the water.

So many times, even if this thing is covered by a net, it's just covered, and it can't be pulled into the net at all.

Really can't figure out, how hungry is this turtle? Actually drilling into the fish nest.

Just like this, Wang An caught two nets of fish between these two bait areas, then loaded all the fish onto the carriage and drove home.

This time catching fish, besides harvesting 4 "turtles," there were also quite a few other fish.

Of course, they were still carp, grass carp, catfish, and other ordinary fish, with a larger quantity.

But because he used a fine net this time, many loaches were also caught.

In this era, loaches not only exist in rivers, but also in small river ditches and water bubbles in the fields.

It's just that if you are reluctant to use oil to make this thing, then this thing is very unpalatable, but as long as there is enough oil, this thing is especially delicious.

Of course, basically all fish have this characteristic, which is that without oil, they are neither filling nor delicious.

So, although loaches are everywhere, no one catches them.

When Wang An arrived home, Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan had also returned from farming.

And Wang Daliang and his wife and Shen Wei hadn't returned home yet, and were mixing pesticides for the seeds.

Wang An had a flash of inspiration and gave each of these two families a turtle.
