Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 123 122. Catching Lake Crabs

Lake Ambergris has abundant water plants, fish, shrimps and crabs. Even though they have been overfished in recent years, they have not become extinct. There are still some.

The weather is clear and calm, and the vast lake is in full view.

The lake light and autumn moon are in harmony, and the lake surface is calm and the mirror is not polished. Looking at the scenery of Dongting Lake from afar, there is a green snail in a silver plate. This ancient poem praising the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake is also very appropriate at this time.

There are small boats on the lake, and people on the boats are holding fishing rods and waiting for fish and shrimp to bite. Some water birds flap their wings and fly up from the depths of the water plants, and some water birds fold their wings and dive into the lake, with both movement and stillness in harmony.

Ao Muyang looked at the lake carefully, and Ao Fugui became impatient: "Damn, what are you looking at? Did you see any beautiful women taking off their clothes and bathing in the lake?"

"Look at the lake, look at the scenery."

"There's nothing to look at here. I've been looking at it for more than 20 years. I'm tired of it. I'll catch crabs and go drink tonight."

Ao Muyang smiled and didn't respond. For people in his hometown, this kind of scenery is already normal, and it can't even be considered a scenery.

But for him who has experienced the busy life in Beijing, the painting-like scenery of Longxiang Lake is too leisurely and wonderful.

While looking at the lake, he was thinking that Longxiang Lake is actually a very good tourist project, but it's a pity that it has not been developed. If he has the ability to contract this big lake, there must be a way to make it a famous water scenery in China.

He stood in the water and meditated quietly, and didn't go to catch crabs, but crabs came to his door.

A crab that was not even the size of a baby's palm hit his foot sideways. It didn't realize that it had touched a person and wanted to run over his foot.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang smiled: "What do you call this? Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught."

Freshwater crabs are no less temperamental than sea crabs. Catching crabs with bare hands is a technical job. Tourists get their fingers pinched by crabs every day.

But for fishermen, this is easy. No matter men, women, young or old, they are all experts in catching crabs.

Ao Muyang reached out from behind the crab and quickly grabbed the belly and back shell of the small crab with his thumb and index finger from behind, so that the small crab could only fall into his hands obediently.

Picking up the small crab, he said to Ao Fugui: "How many crabs did you catch?"

Ao Fugui bent down and lowered his head to scan the bottom of the lake. He muttered: "I caught nothing."

Ao Muyang laughed immediately: "Didn't you complain that I was looking at the scenery instead of doing my work? As a result, I, who was not doing my work, caught the crab first."

Ao Fugui looked back and grinned: "I'm lucky."

Ao Muyang opened the small crab and looked at its belly, then threw it back into the lake.

Ao Fugui asked: "What's wrong, female crab?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "Yeah."

"Then don't throw it away, female crabs can be eaten just the same." Ao Fugui felt pain.

The best June yellow crab is the male crab, which eats the crab roe, but the crab meat of the female crab is just as tender and the crab shell is just as crisp.

Ao Muyang said: "Let's keep them for a while. Now we can catch both male and female crabs. What will we catch during the Mid-Autumn Festival? What will we catch in the future? Tourists know the consequences of exhausting the resources. How can we not know?"

Ao Fugui said: "I know, but other people in the village may not know. Sooner or later, other people will catch these crabs."

Ao Muyang smiled and didn't respond. Others can catch them. Anyway, he won't catch such small crabs.

He was looking in the lake, and someone next to him shouted happily: "Good luck, I caught a fat one-ah! It hurts! It hurts!"

Ao Muyang knew what happened without looking at it. It must be that the tourists accidentally got their hands caught by the crabs.

The girl was caught by the crab claws. Ao Fugui rushed over immediately, more active than the general who saw the bitch: "Don't worry, beauty, I'll take care of it!"

The young man next to him shouted: "I know what to do, put your hand in the water and it will naturally let go."

Ao Fugui quickly pulled him away: "Don't mess around, let me do it, beauty, give me your hand, come, I'll give you a quick and clean..."

With a sound of "crack", he broke the two big claws of the crab neatly.

Without muscle control, the big claws opened naturally.

This may be cruel, but it is the best way to solve the problem, instead of putting it in the water as rumored. The crab is nervous at this time, and even if it is put in the water, it will not open its big claws quickly, but will become more nervous because of the change of environment again.

Seeing that the matter was solved, Ao Muyang did not go over to join in the fun. He found a place with a lot of water plants and looked carefully.

Daytime is not a good time to catch crabs, but night is, because crabs rarely come out to hunt during the day, they like to go out of the hole to hunt after sunset.

In this case, the best way to catch crabs is to find crab holes.

Tourists like to turn over stones because crabs like to hide under reefs.

But the lakeside is not like the seaside. There are not so many reefs for crabs to hide. Instead, there is more mud and sand on the lakeside, which is suitable for crabs to dig holes and build nests, so finding crab holes to catch crabs is a good way.

However, this trick is not easy. Fishermen know this method. The crab holes in shallow water have been swept away long ago. Fishermen and tourists join hands and are more ruthless than the Japanese invaders who enter the village.

Crab holes in deep water are not easy to find. After all, the lake water cannot be particularly clear. No traces of crab holes can be found on the water surface, and diving to catch crabs is not worth the loss.

In this way, it is not easy to catch crabs through crab holes now.

Ao Muyang did not have this obstacle. He prepared a crab cage and hung it on his waist, then took off his clothes and dived into the bottom of the lake to find crab holes.

There are signs of crab holes. First, the mouth is big, after all, crabs are big. Second, there are piles of mud at the hole. As they grow bigger, the space they need increases, so they will continue to expand the space of the cave. During this period, the mud dug out will accumulate at the hole.

Soon, he found a crab hole, put on a glove and put his finger in.

After a while, he felt something clamped on his glove. At this time, he pulled out his hand, and there was a chubby little crab hanging on his glove.

There was a spike-like navel on the belly of this little crab. Obviously, it was a male crab, which was the target of this trip.

After putting the crab in, he found another crab hole and blocked his hand in.

Because the vision was not obstructed, he dug forty or fifty small crabs in a short while.

So he stopped, which was enough for a meal.

The rest of the time he swam in the lake, absorbing water vapor to strengthen the golden elixir.

When he returned, his net cage was full, while Ao Fugui's was empty.

Ao Muyang looked at him helplessly, and he smiled awkwardly: "Fuck, don't look at me like that, I also caught a lot of crabs today, but Yuyu likes them, so I gave them to her."

"Fish? I also caught shrimps and crabs!" Ao Muyang said unhappily, "Are you a pervert? You can't move your legs when you see a woman!"

Ao Fugui continued to smile awkwardly: "I'm not a pervert, I'm a sex-starved wolf, I've been hungry for more than 20 years, do you think I can't be jealous when I see a woman? But I'm not giving it away for free, I'm not an idiot, I sold it to her, here, a hundred yuan!"

When they went home after catching crabs, the cram school was over.

Lu Zhizi was sending his students down the mountain when he ran into Ao Muyang. Seeing this, Ao Muyang said, "Teacher Lu, what a coincidence. I got some June yellow today. I'll pickle them for a few days and eat them here."

Ao Xiaoniu came up to take a look and said in surprise, "Wow, so many June yellows, Uncle Yang, you are really amazing."

Lu Zhizi also looked at it, and then asked curiously, "Are the small crabs delicious?"

"Delicious, June yellows are the most delicious, better than big crabs." Ao Xiaoniu nodded hurriedly.

Lu Zhizi asked again, "How did you catch them?"

Ao Muyang described it vividly, and Lu Zhizi was very envious: "It seems very interesting, then you are so unkind, why do you catch them by yourself? Wait until the weekend and take me with you."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "It's okay, you can arrange other activities on the weekend, I'll take you to fish for squid."
