Golden Fishing Village

Catching freshwater fish is easy, just bring a cast net.

But the problem is that Ambergris Lake is currently implementing resource conservation work, and Ao Muyang has stipulated that fishing is allowed, but netting is not allowed.

This is mainly because in order to feed the dolphins, killer whales and sperm whales some time ago, the village captured too many freshwater fish from Ambergris Lake, causing a sharp reduction in lake resources.

I have to say, the whale’s appetite is really huge!

This puts Lao Ao in a bit of a dilemma. He can't break the rules he set himself, right? Do you want to use a fishing rod to go fishing? That was really laborious!

He sat at the door and racked his brains, and finally he came up with an idea.

Kite fishing!

The kite is an ancient fishing tool. It is not like a board or a kite. Lao Ao is not sure what the scientific name of this tool is. The kite is its common name, which is how the fishermen in Hongyang call it.

In terms of specific image, it is a net, with five bamboo strips extending from the center to all sides to open the net, like an irregular umbrella without a handle.

The fishing efficiency of this kind of fishing gear is between that of casting a net and fishing. It was originally used by young fishermen. The young people have no strength and experience and cannot cast a net to catch fish, so there is a kite, and its use is not The technique can catch very few fish each time, so it can be used by teenagers.

Ao Muyang used the banzheng when he was a child. He had one at home at that time, and it was made by his grandfather's generation.

The main body of the kite is grilled bamboo chips, which are very strong and durable. As long as the fishing net is repaired, the whole thing can be used for decades.

Unfortunately, his kite has long gone missing, so he has to go out and borrow one.

Ao Zhiman usually kept such tools at home. He strolled to the old man's house and knocked on the door.

A vigilant voice immediately sounded in the room: "Who is it?"

"I, Mr. Man, want to borrow something from you." Ao Muyang said and opened the door.

The wooden door was locked from the inside as usual, which made him couldn't help but shake his head. The grandfather and grandson didn't know what secrets there were in the house, so they kept the door locked all day long.

However, the relationship between them was still very harmonious. The old man came over quickly and opened the door for him. Ao Muyang took a quick look and saw some powder on the old man's clothes, so he helped pat the clothes and said, "Master Man, what are you doing? At home. Are you doing stone carving?"

The old man smiled vaguely and said: "It's nothing, I didn't do any stone carving. I haven't done any stone carving in a long time."

Ao Muyang wondered: "Then what are you doing?"

The old man said: "Don't ask, you will know in two days. By the way, what are you asking me to borrow?"

"Ban Zheng, I want to use the Zheng net to go fishing."

After hearing this, Ao Zhiman shook his head regretfully: "My kite is broken. Didn't it snow in the winter last year and crushed my wing? The kite was also placed inside at that time."

Ao Muyang sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll look for it again."

The old man said: "Go to Qianlai's house, he has it at home."

Qian Lai's family is very busy, and the fisherman's house is very successful. The Korean-style fisherman's house run by the couple is very popular, and there are many tourists. During Labor Day a few days ago, seven or eight temporary workers were hired.

Although there are fewer tourists now, their family is still very busy, because Grandma Qianlai has been busy preparing for Ao Muyang's wedding recently, and there are few people available at home.

In order to thank Grandma Qianlai for her help, Lao Ao specially brought some seasonings from home. Cabbage uses a lot of ingredients, so his gift was delivered to the right place.

Ao Qianlai grinned when she saw him: "Yangzi, you are going to be the groom too, congratulations."

His daughter-in-law Jin Huizi was wiping her hands and smiling next to her. The plump young woman stood next to the strong man, looking like a flower and a tree, and she was a perfect match.

Ao Muyang said: "Well, Uncle Qianlai, I will come to you for advice after we get married. You and Aunt Huizi have such a harmonious relationship. They are a model couple in our village. I have to learn from you."

But Ao Qianlai was serious. He grabbed him and said, "Sit down first and I'll talk to you carefully..."

"Let's talk about it later, I have something else to do today."

"What can be more important than family harmony?" Ao Qianlai said dissatisfied, "I'll tell you a long story, long story short."

Ao Muyang had no choice but to say: "Okay, then you can say it."

Jin Huizi saw that his mind was not here, so he said angrily: "Qianlai, the village chief has something to do. Don't drag him around."

Ao Qianlai grinned and said, "I won't fool around. I'll keep it short, okay?"

Ao Muyang said: "Okay, you say it."

"After marriage, listen to your wife." Ao Qianlai patted his shoulder and said.

Ao Muyang was stunned and asked: "What?"

Ao Qianlai said: "Don't you want to learn from me? The secret to marriage is here. Just listen to your wife. That's a long story."

Jin Huizi covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, with delicate tenderness between her eyebrows.

Lao Ao sighed and said: "I see, I've been taught a lesson, then I'll leave first."

He turned around and walked away, and Ao Qianlai said from behind: "Yangzi, aren't you here to borrow something?"

Ao Muyang patted his forehead. He had been so busy these days: "Yes, I'll borrow the kite from you."

Ao Qianlai's family did have a kite net, and he packed it up. This time he took out the folded kite net, which felt a bit like a magic weapon seeing the light of day again.

Taking the banzheng with him, Ao Muyang went to Ambergris Lake.

Willow branches swayed by the lake, and wooden boats floated on the lake. Most of them were fishing boats, and some were sightseeing boats.

In fact, the tourists who come to the village are mainly elderly fishermen who have time and money to spend their spring break. Younger tourists have to go to work after all, and they all came here during the Labor Day holiday a few days ago. play.

In addition, there were a few people sketching under the shade of the trees by the lake, holding drawing boards. Ao Muyang went over to take a look, and was confused: What are they painting?

The young painter had a delicate heart, and his thoughts could be seen from his expression, and he said disdainfully: "This is an abstract painting, don't you understand?"

Ao Muyang sneered and said, "I really don't understand. I studied Whistler and Pollock when I was young. I didn't have any talent. I stopped wasting time on them later."

Invisible pretense is the most deadly.

This time it was the painter's turn to laugh: "Do you still know Whistler and Pollock?"

When it comes to abstract painting, most people know about Picasso, and other masters such as Vassler and Pollock, but they have not been highly hyped by capital and are less well-known.

Ao Muyang smiled reservedly and strode towards the boat with the kite net on his back.

Looking at his back bent by the big net, the young painter felt pity: "Oh, life, it is really unreasonable. This friend, like me, has a heart that yearns for the palace of art, but we have different backgrounds. That’s why we decided to take a different path.”

As he spoke, he noticed a few people next to him looking at him in surprise, and quickly explained: "I'm not complaining for nothing. In fact, I can maintain my hobby only because of the support of my parents. If my parents didn't give me financial assistance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be like this." It’s the same with friends, they all have to work because of the pressure of life.”

"Forced by life?" One person gasped, "Don't you know who this is?"

"He is the mayor of this village. He has two thousand-ton fishing boats, a luxury yacht worth tens of millions, a fishing ground covering an area of ​​tens of thousands hectares, and it is said that he is also making huge investments in an island... …”

"Also, the now popular 'Poseidon Fresh Food' enterprise is also his asset, right? It is said that he is also the leader of the local fishery association?"

The young man who painted was stunned, why should I study art? Isn’t it just to show off? But now it seems that I am still far away from the door of the palace of pretense!
