Chapter 517: If I were to catch them

~8 min read 1,451 words

The sound of the bamboo raft beating the water surface was endless, and the big fish in the pond were churning more and more violently. Song Sancheng stared at the water surface, holding the fishing net on his shoulder, twisting his body, ready to go!

Seventh Cousin on the side also came to join the fun. Seeing Song Sancheng ready to twist his waist, he suddenly asked: "Sancheng, are you laying the net or casting the net?"

Song Sancheng: —!

A breath was interrupted, and he almost twisted his waist!

He looked at the fishing net in his hand: "This net isn't big, no need to lay it slowly. Casting the net is fine, it's convenient."

Laying the net requires getting into the water to slowly adjust the position. In such a big pond, you can't lay it full, and if the net is too big, they need many people to pull it themselves. It's better to pick a fishing net of suitable size and cast it with one hand while standing on the pallet.

Seventh Cousin also saw that he had interrupted him. He pretended not to be awkward, just smiled and nodded: "That's fine, hurry up, so many people are waiting!"

Wu Lan also worked efficiently. In such a short time, the helpers in the village had all come!

Just see, in a cool corner of the pond, a group of old ladies with large basins, knives, scissors, brushes, and plastic bags were already ready to start work!

Beside them, a group of men and women were surrounding and asking about the price:

"How much do you charge for helping to kill the fish?"

"Can you not throw away the fish scales and fish intestines? Keep them separate?"

"Can you keep the fish bubbles?"

"Are there any tools left? Give me a set, I can clean them myself!"

"Boss, give me a few more plastic bags, I want to buy a lot!"

Little Cai was squeezed outside the crowd, watching her mom holding a stack of plastic bags with satisfaction, unable to help jumping up and down: "Mom! Mom! Fish, it's fish! Let others do it here, otherwise, if you prick your hand while killing the fish later, the gain won't make up for the loss!"

The car is here, the money is ready, being a hands-off manager is the right thing to do. Contemporary young people really don't understand why they have to be so proactive in doing work!

Cai Ma looked down on her daughter for not touching the spring water with her ten fingers: "Look at so many people, everyone is buying fish and cleaning them. Can those few helpers handle it, and can they do it delicately?"

"I'll go pick the fish first, and when they're picked, let them handle the big part, and I'll lend a hand. Won't we be able to go back earlier? Hey, can that freezer of yours be delivered when we go back?"

Just after speaking, there was an exclamation on the water surface—

"Oh my!"

"Casting the net, casting the net!"

The small, inconspicuous fishing net was grabbed by the top by Song Sancheng, who twisted his body, swung it—

The dark green fishing net gradually opened in mid-air like a blooming spiral flower. The lines of the corners and wrinkles quickly became round and full, and then sank into the water silently and quietly, gradually becoming invisible, only faintly visible with white marks on top.

The pond side was silent for a while.

After a long while, as if they had just recovered from this shock, the shore became noisy again—

"This requires technique, right? Look at this net, how round it was cast!"

"It's quite a big net!"

"How much can this net catch?"

"That's hard to say, sometimes you can't even catch one—oh my, oh my, oh my!

! Look, look! Why do I feel like there are so many fish!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry—help pull the net—"

"Those who don't know, don't mess around! You can't use brute force for this! You have to do it slowly, at a constant speed—hey, move aside, I'll do it!"

Before casting the net, the old men on the shore looked at the chattering, fussing aunts with a high-end expression.

—A bunch of people who don't know how to fish. The fun of this fish lies between fishing and netting! If you aren't an old fisherman, you can't understand it!

After casting the net, everyone's heart was hooked.

Waiting until they saw the faint fish—

"Hurry, hurry, hurry—hurry up and help pull!"

"Damn, is this net full? I see fish churning..."

"Oh my, the strength isn't small! Hurry up and pull me, I stepped into the silt and can't get up!"

In an instant, the old men on the shore were passionate, jumping into the water like dumplings, no matter what they were wearing, ten-yuan shorts or thousands-yuan good shoes, they all went into the water instantly.

The aunts on the shore who hadn't had time to act:...

They withdrew their eager hearts and put on a cold expression again:

"Look at these men! Do they know how to fish, joining the fun... tsk tsk tsk!"

Song Sancheng's net was exceptionally full.

He was also very happy. How many years had it been since he fished? He didn't expect that this net would go down today, and all his skills were still there! Listen to the joy on the shore, they must be shocked by him, right?

And this fish... oh my! Oh my! Why are there so many fish! I can't even pull them!

The sunset light shone on his face, both scorching and dazzling, but his heart was about to fly.

And at the edge of the fishing net, a group of old men carefully pulled, little by little, dragging the fishing net from the middle of the water to the shore—

"Okay, okay!"

"Here, here—"

"Look, damn, this fish is really strong!"

"Let me see, let me see..."

"Good heavens, this crucian carp is so big!"

"This must be a three or four-year-old crucian carp! Wild fish! Definitely wild fish! It looks different!"

"Look at this silver carp, this silver carp must be over ten jin!"

"Over ten jin is just right. Any bigger and it's easy to get fat, not tasty..."

"That can't be! When has this family's stuff ever been not tasty—I want this one! I'm not afraid of fat!"

"This one is bigger! It must be over twenty jin! I want this one!"

"Grass carp! Such a big grass carp, brothers, let's grill fish tonight!"

"Why isn't there any snakehead fish? It would be beautiful to take it to the barbecue stall tonight for a meal!"

"What are you thinking? If that snakehead fish is in the pond, can other fish live? It must have been cleared out long ago..."

A group of men were still pointing and picking, but soon another vigorous action squeezed in, and instantly there was no space for them—

"Oh my, hurry, hurry, hurry, pick the fish!"

"Crucian carp! I want crucian carp!"

"Little white fish! White fish strips! I want white fish strips! Pickled cabbage stew is so delicious!"

Oh, there was still space for men, after all, many people were standing in the silt of the pond, and the aunts couldn't come down.

Under this kind of boiling and noisy excitement, men and women didn't consider the fishy smell, the fish fins pricking hands, and the problem of dirt on their bodies.

They only knew—

This fishing witnessed with their own eyes was truly a bumper harvest, hahahahaha!

Little Cai stood on the shore, watching Cai Ma and her sister group whose sneakers had already stepped into the silt, and their hard work of bending down to pick up fish and throw fish, always feeling that she, who was standing by and watching, was out of place from her hair to the soles of her feet.

Hey, don't say, that fish looks really slippery!

Oh my, didn't grab it!

This one is so big! Have to dig the gills! Sigh, sigh, sigh, why did it slip away again!

Fish fins, are fish fins pricking? Just say that her mom isn't suitable for this kind of work at all!

Looking at it, there's technique to catching fish, the difficulty isn't much, if I were to catch them, I definitely wouldn't let them slip away... ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
