Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 58 The Extinct Shad

Seeing the grouper fish swimming closer and closer, Chen Mu was very excited. He knew that he would definitely make a good fortune today.

Led by the little golden dragon, the fish school floated up slowly as the little golden dragon floated up, and the fish school also floated up. They almost swam close to the surface of the water layer.

The school of fish is black and dense, and the number can be as many as two hundred. This formation is quite spectacular.

It is absolutely rare to meet such a large-scale fish school, at least in the lower waters of the Qingshui River, there will certainly not be such an adventure.

Perhaps this section of water is located in a deep mountain canyon, and few fishermen set foot in it, thus providing a good living environment for wild fish and creating a huge number of fish schools.

Finally, the school of fish gradually reached the waters near the fishing boat. Chen Mu blew out his cigarette butt and picked up the newly bought hand-throwing net. He was ready to do a big job.

Grab the best opportunity, shake it vigorously, and the hand-throwing net spreads out on the water surface into a huge net cover with a diameter of 10 meters.

"crash"

With a loud noise, the fishing net hit the fish school, and under the gravity of the sinker, the fishing net quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

Casting this net is really full of harvest, only a small part of the fish escaped when the net was not tightened, and most of the grouper became turtles caught in the net.

Chen Mu used all his strength to drag the fishing net to the fishing boat. The fishing net was full of heavy grouper, and the catch in this net could weigh at least a hundred catties.

Take the fish out, put it into the tank in the cabin, and put ice cubes in the tank.Ice cubes are specially brought from home, which can reduce the water temperature in the tank and prevent the fish from dying in a short time.

The grouper that was not caught in the net just now was frightened, and all of them scattered and disappeared at this time.

Forget it, Chen Mu increased the horsepower of the fishing boat and continued to swim upstream.The fishing boat began to travel deeper into the mountains along the canyon water flow.

A lot of fish were found along the way, but they were all scattered and difficult to catch, so the little golden dragon was needed to attract them together.

Chen Mu asked the little golden dragon to follow behind the fishing boat. The golden light emitted from its body was like a lighthouse moving in the water.

Gradually, fish catches began to appear in the waters around Little Golden Dragon, and as the fishing boat drove along, the number of fish shoals gradually grew.

10 minutes passed, and a large group of fish had gathered in the waters behind the fishing boat.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Mu adjusted the horsepower to keep the fishing boat still in the current.He walked to the stern with the fishing net and looked into the water. Under his eyes, there were all kinds of fish in the fish school; carp, bighead carp, silver carp, and many expensive yellow catfish and mandarin fish. For the spectacular.

After spotting the position of the fish school, Chen Mu cast the net down again, impartially, just hitting the center of the fish school.

There are a lot of fish caught in this net. After a rough estimate, they can weigh about [-] to [-] catties.The weight is indeed sufficient, but they are all mixed fish with uneven prices, such as bighead carp, silver carp and carp. Big, even if you think about it, you can't sell it for too much money.

After just throwing two nets, Chen Mu harvested more than 200 catties of fish. Of course, this result is amazing, but that's all.

For ordinary people, they may catch hundreds of catties of fish in two or three days when they fish in rivers and rivers. It all depends on their luck.

But Chen Mu is different, he is the one who owns the little golden dragon, so naturally he cannot be measured by the benchmark of ordinary people.

Today's harvest is pretty good, and it's not too early, so Chen Mu wants to return home.

But just as he was about to turn the bow of the boat, he saw a few black shadows passing quickly through the water. Their speed was so fast that his vision couldn't react.

After seeing their bodies clearly, Chen Mu's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but almost cried out.

Those guys are,,, shad!

There are still shad in Qingshui River?

Haven't they already disappeared?

It's unbelievable that I met a living treasure.

Chen Mu has a deep memory of shad fish, which happened when he was young.

In the summer of the first grade of elementary school, Chen Mu went fishing in the Qingshui River with his friends in the village. That day, he caught a strange fish that he had never seen before. The fish was silver-white and very beautiful.

At that time, Chen Mu didn't know that the shad was caught, but he just thought that the fish was quite unique, so he took it home and raised it in the fish pond behind the house.

Even Chen Mu's father, who had been dealing with Jiang He all the year round, didn't recognize the strange fish.Until one day, a fish merchant came to Chen Mu’s house to buy fish. The fish merchant recognized it as shad at a glance, and bought the fish at a high price of 500 yuan.

You must know that 20 years ago, 500 yuan could buy a big pig, but the fish merchant would actually spend 500 yuan to buy a fish weighing less than a catty, which shocked Chen Mu's family.

This incident caused quite a stir in Longdong Village.Since then, the villagers have been scrambling to catch shad in the river like panning for gold, but no one has caught shad again.

In other words, the shad in Qingshui River was on the verge of extinction 20 years ago.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mu ran into him again today.

The shape of shad is bright, and the fish scales are as white as snow. If someone knows them, they can easily distinguish shad from other fish.

Shad mainly live in the Yangtze River Basin, but after the 80s, they were already on the verge of extinction. The number of shad in the entire Yangtze River Basin is even lower than that of Chinese sturgeon, which shows how rare they are.

Shark is an ultimate delicacy. It is not only delicious, but also rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It has a good cholesterol-lowering effect on the human body and can effectively prevent vascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

These high-quality characteristics of shad make them very popular among diners, and most of the shad on the table are farmed.

But even if it is farmed shad, its price can reach 400 yuan a catty.

As for pure wild shad, its price can reach a terrifying 5000 yuan per catty, and at this price of 5000, it may not be possible to buy it.

Seeing the extinct shad again, Chen Mu became excited.

However, at this time, the shad has already swam far away, and they swim to the waters further upstream. The shad is extremely fast in the water, and it is really not an easy task to catch them.

While sailing upstream, Chen Mu summoned the little golden dragon and asked him to track down the whereabouts of the shad.

The fishing boat sailed for a while.Finally, Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and he found that the little golden dragon had attracted those shad, and they were slowly swimming towards the fishing boat.

One, two, three,,, nine, ten.Eleven, twelve, Chen Mu counted, and there were a total of twelve shad brought by Xiao Jinlong.

I rely on, this is to get rich.
