Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 6 Pond Fishing
Li Junge came to the back of the house and took a wheel pole from the wall.

Chepan pole is a traditional fishing tackle in Sichuan and Guizhou, all made of bamboo.

The pole body of his cart pole is selected from the mottled bamboo that grows in the crevices of the high rocks of Bifeng Mountain.

Due to the cold growth environment and the lack of nutrition, alpine bamboo is an old bamboo that is more than five years old, but the trunk is still not thick, only the thickness of a thumb, but it is extremely strong.

Mottled bamboo is a scattered bamboo that will not form a forest. It belongs to the genus Bamboo in the Poaceae Bamboo subfamily. The pole height is generally 13 to [-] meters. There are purple-brown spots on the bamboo poles, which are called moiré purple spots. , It is also a high-quality material for bamboo furniture and handicrafts in my country.

Mottled bamboo is mainly distributed in Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, and it is relatively rare in Shuzhou Province.When Li Junge was young, he had to climb mountains a lot in search of this bamboo pole.

There is also a beautiful legend in Banzhu. It is said that Shun traveled to Jiuyi Mountain and did not return. His concubine Ehuang Nvying went out to search and arrived in Xiaoxiang. After hearing the news of Shun's death, she cried and died. god.

And their blood and tears sprinkled on the emerald bamboo, leaving some spots, which became the mottled bamboo, so the mottled bamboo has another name, "Xiangfei Bamboo".

The mottled bamboo pole in Li Junge's hand has been used for many years, and it is golden yellow as a whole, with purple-brown cloud patterns dancing on it, like fingerprints.It is a rare bamboo boutique.

The bottom of the bamboo pole is dug out by the root, with a part of the thick bamboo root, which happens to be a naturally formed handle.

The total length of the bamboo pole is about 1 meters. A pair of holes is punched near the handle, and a thin stainless steel shaft is worn. One end of the shaft is connected to a car plate the size of a sea bowl.

The wheel is a winding wheel made of eight symmetrical paddles, also called "Bagua wheel".When holding the pole with one hand, the thumb and forefinger can just control the gossip wheel, and the wheel will turn straight on the pole with just a slight flick, allowing you to take up and release the line freely.

This pole is very convenient to carry, and the fishing range is very wide. It can be used for fishing in streams, rivers, ponds and other waters. One pole can change the fishing method.In addition to being used for fishing, it can also be used for kite flying.

Li Junge's Bagua wheel is wound with Dalima's fishing line, which is 100 meters long and has been maintained with tung oil. Therefore, even if it has been left there for many years, the fishing line can still be used.

Pass the fishing line through the stainless steel wire ring on the bamboo pole, and take out a three-gram lead pendant and a small rubber ring from your own fishing tackle box.

Put the small rubber ring over the line first, and then the lead pendant on the line.

Let the rubber ring move up and down freely, while the lead pendant is fixed, and a figure-of-sight ring is tied under the lead pendant, and then a No. 2 nylon fishing line about ten centimeters is taken out and tied to the other end of the figure-of-sight ring as a sub-line , A No. 8 Iseni fishhook is tied to the end of the sub-line.

Then take a large fishing net from the wall and come to the edge of the pond.

Walking to the place where the fish were fed in the pond, he put the dip net on the ground, and took out a pencil-shaped hose float from his trouser pocket.

The float is like a sharpened pencil, about six or seven centimeters long, with one end thick and the other thin. He inserts the thin end into the rubber ring on the fishing line.

Due to the elastic force, the rubber ring can fix the float on the fishing line. With a little effort, the rubber ring can still move on the line, and the water depth for fishing can be freely adjusted.

Since grass carp is caught floating, Li Junge only kept a line length of about 15 centimeters between the hook and the float.

After finishing these, the wheel and pole fishing group has been assembled. I picked a young pumpkin leaf from the pond, folded it twice and hung it on the hook. There is no need to hide the tip of the hook, so that it can be fully exposed to stab fish.

With Li Junge's right hand raised slightly, the index finger lightly flipped the gossip wheel, and the pumpkin leaves floated into the water and landed on the outside of the rectangular bamboo feeding frame.

The lead pendant sank slowly with the pumpkin leaves, and then was pulled by the buoy, and stabilized at a depth of 15 cm underwater. The buoy also stood up, and only a red head was exposed on the water surface.

Then Li Junge turned the Bagua wheel lightly again to retract the excess floating lines.Keep the fishing line between the rod and the float as small as possible.

Since a lot of grass has just been put into the bamboo frame in the pond, a grass carp nest has just formed, and a large number of grass carp are greedily eating the floating grass inside the frame.

Grass carp eats a lot.A grass carp in summer can eat grass equivalent to more than half of its own body weight in a day, and it will stretch quickly if it eats a lot. Therefore, the grass carp after the Dragon Boat Festival has a very strong desire to ask for food.

The large amount of feces excreted by grass carp can just become food for other bottom fishes, and it can also feed a large number of small fish, shrimps and algae.

Therefore, as long as there is a certain amount of grass carp in a pond, and the feeding is regular and quantitative, then the food of other organisms in the whole pond will not be lacking.

Grass carp grows very fast. Three-year-old grass carp can grow to more than ten catties when there is sufficient food, and the meat is relatively delicious. Therefore, a certain amount of grass carp is usually put in farm ponds.

Sure enough, less than 2 minutes after the pumpkin leaves were dropped, the floating head of the red pencil suddenly sank without warning and disappeared into the water. With one touch the line was dragged into the middle of the pond.

Fish caught!Li Junge pressed his left hand on the steering wheel, and raised his right hand, and saw that the mottled bamboo pole bent out a powerful arc, stabbing the fish firmly.

Of course, the big grass carp would not give in immediately, and began to struggle violently.

The braking of the Bagua wheel depends entirely on the pressure of the left palm. Under the same pulling force, if the pressure is heavy, the wheel will turn slowly, and if the pressure is light, the wheel will turn quickly.To brake fully, jam your finger between the wheel paddle and the pole.

The so-called cleverness of using it is all about being single-minded. There will be a big difference between the techniques of masters and novices.

Li Junge liked fishing since he was a child. Of course he is a master. I saw that he firmly grasped the control over the mermaid. He was not in a hurry. When the big grass carp exerted its strength, he would slowly release the fishing line. After the grass carp had finished exerting its strength , and began to rotate the gossip wheel to retract the fishing line.

Grass carp usually has three times to exert its strength. Sure enough, after three times of tug-of-war, the big grass carp began to lose strength and was dragged to the surface of the water by Li Junge.

After the grass carp saw the light, it began to struggle violently for the last time. Its tail slapped the water surface violently, splashing huge waves, and dived underwater again.

"Hey! This fish is really big, at least ten catties!" Li Junge thought excitedly while firmly controlling the steering wheel.

After several tosses, the big grass carp finally had no strength, and turned out its white belly on the water surface. Li Junge slowly shook it to his side, took out the big copying net, and copied it in the net.

It took only 10 minutes from the middle of the fish to the walking of the fish into the net. When Li Junge entered the kitchen with the big grass carp, his mother had just put the rice into the pot and was cutting vegetables.

Seeing Li Junge coming in, my mother smiled and said, "You are so good at making fish and shrimp. You are so fast! I need to make some vegetarian dishes first, and you can go to the back and prepare the fish and seasonings before giving them to me." Bring it over."

Li Junge came to the green tile shed at the back, first hung the cart pole back to its original position, dragged out a large basin from under the concrete platform, and put the big grass carp in it.

Drag the water pipe on the water tank down and put it on the side of the wooden basin, and the spring water will start to flow into the wooden basin.

After thinking about it, he took out a cigarette case and put it on the belly of the grass carp as a reference, then took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the big grass carp, and sent it to the group of fishing friends on WeChat.

He typed another sentence, "Going back to my hometown today, the first fishing."

Li Junge joined a group of fishing friends from all over the country. The group of friends came from all over the world. They all played freshwater fishing and made many friends. Everyone exchanged fishing skills and talked nonsense in it.

Li Junge's WeChat account is called "On the side of the water".

Soon there were a bunch of messages on WeChat:
Chelsea seat: "Visual measurement of [-] catties +, the appraisal is complete."

The white strip is also a fish: "Visual measurement of fifteen catties, the identification is complete."

Black Dragon True Water: "Visual inspection of the wild, the identification is complete."

Then the building started to crumble. . . . . .

Platinum Hook: "Visual inspection of grass carp, identification is complete."

White strips are also fish: "Anyone who only releases catches but not fishing points is a hooligan. +2"

Black Dragon True Water: "Anyone who only releases catches but not fishing points is a hooligan. +3"

. . . . . .

Li Junge directly sent out his WeChat location.

Lazy fish: "It's too far away, I can't go, I can only drool."

Old ghost: "It's too far away, I can't go, I can only drool. +1"

Bai Tiao is also a fish: "More than 200 kilometers, it can be considered, why can't the navigation get there?"

On the side of the water: "The navigation can only go to Bifeng Town, and then climb over the mountain."

The white strip is also a fish: "I'm dizzy... Is the mountain road easy to walk?"

On the side of the water: "Every village is connected, there are many bends, but the scenery is very good."

The white strip is also a fish: "Think again..."

Black Dragon True Water: "Brother Bian, is it wild? Are there many big fish?"

On the side of the water: "Semi-wild, in our own pond, running water, only fed with grass. There are quite a lot of big fish, welcome to play."

Heilong Zhenshui: "The countryside is great, with plenty of resources, but I only like wild fishing."

On the side of the water: "Hahaha, there are many wild fishing spots near my house, and the quality of the fish is good. I will send it to everyone when I change to wild fishing. You can play stream fishing, lure fishing, hand pole and sea pole. Welcome everyone to play. "

Chelsea seat: "Wait for the live broadcast..."

Lazy fish: "Wait for the live broadcast...+1"

. . . . . .

On the side of the water: "I'll talk about it another day, let's go pickled fish tonight, it's time to cook."

After typing these, Li Junge quit the WeChat group, and selected a few photos of the scenery along the road that he came back to shoot today that he thought were good, plus photos of grass carp, and sent them to Moments together, adding a sentence: "All the way Safe and safe home. Let’s eat pickled cabbage fish made by my mother tonight.”
