Golden Fishing Village

"How could this happen?" Lu Zhizi was dumbfounded. She looked at Ao Muyang with a wronged face, "Where is the clam? I clearly saw it just now!"

Ao Muyang thought for a moment and said, "You look pretty dumbfounded."

Lu Zhizi wanted to slap him in the face.

After a joke, Ao Muyang explained, "The instant the clam jumps out, the speed is very fast. You must have a fast enough hand speed to catch it. This requires diligent training..."

As he spoke, he made a grasping gesture and shook his wrist.

Looking at his movements, Lu Zhizi looked weird.

Ao Muyang was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at his hands and thought about what he said, then looked up and said: "Don't think about it, really, I mean this needs practice..."

Lu Zhizi shook his head: "I won't practice, I can't practice it."

Ao Muyang buried the clam cave and said: "You win, let me do it later."

Lu Zhizi said: "Why did you block this hole? Put some salt in it, lure it out, I don't believe I can't catch it!"

Ao Muyang explained: "The clam cave is very long, it doesn't come out to see the outside scenery, but to accumulate strength to rush down. So if you don't catch it the first time, it will be more difficult to catch it when it rushes into the bottom of the cave later."

Lu Zhizi said: "Then you come and catch it."

Ao Muyang said: "Forget it, according to our customs here, we only catch clams once. Since it escaped from our hands, let's spare its life and count it as a lucky one."

There are clams in this area, and several clam caves were soon discovered later.

Lu Zhizi tried several times, and finally had to admit the fact helplessly: with her hand speed, she couldn't catch the cunning clams.

In anger, she grabbed the shovel and dug a hole, but she didn't dig the clam after digging more than one meter. From this, we can see how deep the clam's cave is!

The clams kept popping up and escaping. The general couldn't stand it anymore. He threw away his shoes and ran over. The moment the clam poked its head out again, he suddenly jumped forward and grabbed the clam in his mouth!

Lu Zhizi's self-esteem was shattered: "Oh my God, the general can catch it, but I can't?"

Ao Muyang said: "You are a bit insulting to the general. The general is very good at catching clams, shrimps and crabs. You shouldn't compare with him..."

"Organize your words and say it again!" Lu Zhizi stared at him with gritted teeth.

Ao Muyang blinked and immediately changed his words: "You are lowering yourself by comparing yourself with it. You see, although the general bit the clam, it broke it into pieces..."

The general did not care about the severity of his bite. The clam is not an oyster with a thick shell. It was already sticky after being bitten by it. The limbs were broken in an instant, and it was dead without a burial place.

After that, Ao Muyang had to take action. He caught one accurately, and half a bucket of clams and clams accumulated in the small bucket.

The two were shoveling the dirt on the beach, and Ao Qianlai waved to them: "Yangzi, Yangzi, come quickly, come here quickly, there are good things here."

Ao Muyang ran over excitedly: "Uncle Lai, what good things are there?"

"Crabs, what else can it be, are you stupid?"

Ao Muyang smiled bitterly: "Oh, yes, you want to fish for crabs, right?"

For non-industrialization, people catch crabs by pinching them with their hands or clamps, but the old fishermen in the southwest of Hongyang have the skill of fishing for crabs.

Ao Qianlai planned to fish for crabs. He brought tools, which were divided into two. One was a fishing rod, the main body of which was a bamboo pole about three meters long, with a three-meter-long thread tied to the tip of the bamboo pole, and a crab hook tied to the other end of the thread.

There is also a tool called a bait rod, as the name suggests, which is a rod with bait. Its main body is also a three-meter-long bamboo pole and a three-meter-long thread, but the thread is not tied to a crab hook, but a small gauze bag.

The gauze bag contains raw pig liver, chicken intestines and other things. This small bag has a strong fishy smell, which can attract crabs to come out of their caves.

Lu Zhizi looked at the two fishing rods curiously. She asked, "Why don't you use your hands to pick up the crabs after you find them, but use hooks to take them? Isn't this less efficient?"

Ao Muyang explained, "Because the crab caves are generally not in the sand, but in the mud, so people can't easily go up and easily sink, so they have to rely on fishing rods to catch them."

"In addition, you have to bend down to pick up crabs. Those who are good at this craft are all old people. It is painful for the elderly to bend down frequently. You only need to stand to catch crabs, which is more popular."

After a pause, he said, "Well, you are right, but there were many wild crabs in the past, and it was faster for veterans to use fishing rods. Now the number of crabs has decreased, and there is no point in fishing crabs, so this craft is almost lost."

Ao Qianlai walked carefully on the beach, holding the lure rod in his left hand and the fishing rod in his right hand. The lure rod was dragged slowly in front, and the small gauze bag rolled on the sand, leaving a fishy smell.

Seeing his light steps, Lu Zhizi spoke in a subconscious voice: "Hey, didn't you say that crabs were hiding under the mud? This is a beach, are there crabs?"

Ao Muyang said: "Yes, but it's not a big swimming crab, but a small sand crab. I don't know its scientific name. Wait and see."

The gauze bag rolled on the beach for a while. On the way it rolled, some sand was pushed away, and a crab about the size of a child's palm came out.

The crab shell was green and uneven, and its two big claws were long and strong, like an ancient warrior.

As soon as it came out, Ao Qianlai swung the bamboo pole in his right hand, and the crab hook fell on it. Then Ao Qianlai pulled back and the crab was taken back.

At this time, a small cage was hung on Ao Qianlai's chest. The crab swayed and slid down like a swing, and finally fell into the small cage.

Seeing this, Lu Zhizi couldn't help but applaud: "Wow, what an amazing skill!"

Ao Muyang also applauded. Crab fishing is a difficult job. This skill is not something ordinary people can master.

Ao Qianlai is not smart enough, so he has no small thoughts, works seriously, has no distractions, and can devote himself wholeheartedly to it. In some crafts this is an advantage, he can figure it out and learn it.

In this way, after a lot of hard work, you finally achieve something!

More crabs were lured out from behind. Ao Qianlai took action one after another and harvested one after another. Then when the small cage on his chest was full, he handed the lure rod and fishing rod to Ao Muyang: "Yangzi, come here."

Ao Muyang smiled dryly and said: "I'm afraid, haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to play."

This technique of catching crabs is very difficult. It requires precise swinging of the pole and you have to catch the crab with a crab hook at once.

The crab hook is like an eagle's claw. An iron sheet is hung with a fishing line. There are nine curved and barbed hooks around the iron sheet. This requires at least three or four hooks to hook the crab before it can be fished back.

Ao Muyang did practice hard when he was a boy, and what he learned at that time did have some effect. However, after many years, his hand has become raw, and now he will probably be embarrassed.

Lu Zhi Zi Bingxue is smart, and he can see his embarrassment from his expression.

Now she became energetic and encouraged: "Come on, come on, show me your crab fishing skills, and I will learn from you."

Ao Muyang could only bite the bullet. At this time, the crowd on the beach suddenly became excited. Everyone was pointing at a ship on the sea in the distance.

Seeing this, he looked up. It was a bit far away and he couldn't see exactly what the ship was doing, but he could hear the roar of machines running. It seemed like it was doing some big project.
