Riding the wind of rebirth

"Still short-spirited! Nonsense!" Jiang Hongxing is obviously suitable for the same caliber of the central government, and the logic is also very simple: "In what year will the Jiachuan River not accept a few lives, and the Jiang God will still dislike the many offerings?!"

One sentence made everyone happy, but Zhou Zhi felt embarrassed: "Understood, there will be no next time."

Only then did Jiang Hongxing laugh: "Walk around and go home and tell me, you see, I just came to the door and told me a meal. It's not that I don't welcome you, the guests have talked about you several times!"

Because the main industry on the island is sugar cane, summer is actually a slack period for farmers here.

The weather is hot, and there are few people coming to the island. The whole village is used to moving in the morning and evening, and it is quiet during the day.

Just arrived at the gate of the manor, Jiang Hongxing's guest had already brought out the boiled corn and potatoes, and the boss put a big pot on the table: "It's not a good treat for the rare guests, the dolls eat and play first, I'll get you some Tomatoes in sugar!"

"Don't worry about it, my elbow brought us wine and a big watermelon!" Jiang Hongxing laughed.

"Why is that so embarrassing, why are all of you with bare elbows and still holding the tires?" Jiang Hongxing was very surprised: "You didn't swim here from Shima Town by ferry?"

Jiang Hongxing rolled his eyes: "These kids are so courageous, they floated down from Jiachuan holding tires!"

"Oh, what's wrong with this?!" Jiang Hongxing's guest fell back in shock: "This can't be done!"

"If you want to play in the water, play by the water's edge, and rake the shrimps at home, and they won't be drying under the bamboo forest!" After speaking, I felt that it would be better to be sparse than to be blocked, so I helped the children to come up with ideas.

"Ah yes!" Zhou Zhi suddenly felt itchy, "We'll catch fish in a while!"

"Will you move the buns? Wenyu should be about the same strength." Jiang Hongxing said, "My house has a shop of big buns. That's for grown-ups."

"Then I have to try more!" Zhou Zhi laughed.

Jiang Hongxing went into the house, and after a while, he brought out a large bamboo pole and a few small bamboo poles, with a large net wrapped around them. These are the ones commonly used by Jiachuan people for fishing in summer.

Put the net on the ground, go in and take out a net with a lead pendant at the bottom. In Jiachuan local dialect, "cut the net" is actually a net, throw a circle to cover the fish, and then draw the rope to catch the lead. Put the pendants together, trap the fish in the net and collect the rope.

"You are not serious!" The guest was cutting the tomatoes, and when he saw Jiang Hongxing's movement, he spat: "The children haven't rested yet!"

"Auntie, let's go!" The friends couldn't bear it when they saw this: "It's not like walking, don't rest!"

After packing up all the nets, Jiang Hongxing took his friends and walked towards the river. Even Jiang Shuyi and Feng Xueshan were very excited, and followed behind with the shrimp rake and fish basket.

Coming to a relatively gentle slope, Jiang Hongxing said, "Just play here, it's very flat, and the bottom is covered with wire grass, suitable for scraping shrimp."

"How do you play this?" Jiang Shuyi asked.

"I will, I will!" Wei Fei and Zhang Lu raised their hands together, Da Lin and Cho Wang looked very heavy, both of them were relatively small, and felt that they could not control themselves, so they decided to join the girls.

Zhou Zhi Yanghe and Fang Wenyu followed Jiang Hongxing to a place downstream, where they first tied four thin bamboo poles to form a cross, then hung the four corners of the net on the bamboo poles, and tied the center of the cross to the thick bamboo poles. Tie a drawstring with a small wooden stick as a crosspiece, and an ancient netting—a big 罾—is assembled.

Stand up the big net, pull the rope to control it to fall forward into the water, and the big net pulled by the cross bamboo pole will sink into the water and fall to the bottom.

After five or six minutes, after the disturbed fish in the water come back, they can set up the net to catch the fish.

Except for a lot of strength to catch fish, there is no other skill. The only skill is to control the rope when retracting and releasing it, so as not to let the big net sway.

"Who is going to play with me on the boat?" Jiang Hongxing asked, "There is still a river blocking net on the boat."

"Let's all go." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief can't steer a boat, Yang He and I can."

"That Wenyu is here to catch fish." Jiang Hongxing said, "I'll come back and replace you after I teach them!"

A small boat was found at the entrance of a small ditch, and the three of them boarded the boat, with Jiang Hongxing standing at the bow, Zhou Zhi in the middle, and Yang He at the stern.

The small boat rowed upstream along the slow water between the river current and the backwater. Jiang Hongxing knew at a glance that Yang He was a real expert. He gave a thumbs up to show his approval, and then pointed out the location of the net.

The topography there is thoughtful and vaguely remembered, and it is also a strange "stone forest", which is considered a wonder in winter.

"It's a fish nest in summer." Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: "But you can only use silk nets, and you can run away fish by cutting nets."

The silk screen is composed of three layers of nets, the middle is a large eye net, and the outer two layers are small eye nets. Because the fish will not retreat, they can only continue to drill after touching the net, and they are trapped on the net.

The net was strung on a bamboo pole. Zhou Zhi was responsible for pushing the net to Jiang Hongxing, and Xiang Hongxing was responsible for wiping the net into the water bit by bit.

The net has bottom pendants and floats, and it needs to be pulled in places where the water flow is too large, otherwise it will be washed into a mess by the water flow. Therefore, when the net is released during the flood season, the location selection is very critical.

Only old natives like Jiang Hongxing could find the right place.

After setting down the net, Jiang Hongxing started throwing and chopping the net to catch fish.

This net weighs [-] catties, which is quite a large piece of heavy equipment. A net is spread out ten steps wide, and the area is quite large.

The place where the net is cast is just outside the place where the silk net is lowered. There is another purpose of fishing here, which is to drive the escaped fish to the side of the wire net.

The first net will yield a harvest. Three fish caught in the net, one is a crucian carp weighing half a catty, one carp weighing more than a catty, and a round belly with a sharp beak, which is long and thin and weighs more than a catty. Jiang Hongxing laughed. Said: "Elbow, you are blessed."

"Shui Mizi, it's rare to see such a big Jiachuan!" Zhou Zhi was also surprised and delighted: "It seems that I don't need me here, I will move with the commander!"

After speaking, he flipped into the water with a somersault and swam towards the shore.

There are not many opportunities to move big fish, but in places with good resources, the nets are almost empty. After pulling up the big fish, you can see many small fish and shrimps inside.

The big one was crucian carp, but it was different from the one that Jiang Hongxing hit with a chopping net. The biggest one was only the length of a palm.

The small ones are miscellaneous fish, white strips of wheat, etc. The large ones are one card, which is the maximum length that can be opened from the thumb to the middle finger, and the small ones are as long as the little finger.

There are even smaller ones, those grass shrimps.

"Hahaha really!" Fang Wenyu seldom played these games, and was extremely excited: "What are you doing now?!"
