579. Magnificent crab fishing (3)
Even so, some people still have bleeding feet, and the big claws of freshwater crabs are not vegetarians after all.
Ao Muyang prepared hemostatic medicine and waterproof patches. After applying the medicine and applying the waterproof patches, the fishermen still had to go into the water.
He explained to the tourists: "This is the traditional fishing industry. In the past, when catching crabs on the feet, I didn't have to worry about bleeding at all. There was no way. At that time, the conditions were there, and I had to sweat and bleeding to eat."
Traditional fishing methods are often accompanied by blood and tears. Life is not easy for working people in the feudal era, which is also part of the tradition.
After hearing this, the general jumped into the lake, and then it quickly came out, holding a fat crab in its mouth...
This scene made many tourists drool: "Mom, if I had such a dog, I would vomit crabs in my life."
There is a timeline for fishing in the stalk, which takes at least three days. This kind of thing requires the accumulation of time. Perhaps there will be fish in the stalk that day, but to ensure harvest, it will still take at least three days.
Nowadays, there is definitely not so much time to waste crabbing on foot, because Ao Muyang’s purpose is to promote, and tourists and media people don’t have time to wait for three days, so they will have a harvest on the same day.
He did the same. It only took half an hour to step on the foot. Everyone went ashore to rest for an hour or two, and then started looking for crabs from the foot.
More than 200 men went into the water, and with the noisy children and tourists, there were a total of thousands of legs in the lake. With so many people stirring, the mud and sand on the lakeside were quickly stirred up.
The fish in the lake were frightened and rushed to the middle of the lake. The crabs ran slowly, and they did not swim around like fish. They had a sense of territory and would not easily leave the territory of the tribe.
Therefore, with the nature of crabs to drill holes, crabs do appear in their feet.
The villagers brought wooden basins to the lake. This basins were used to catch water chestnuts and could float on the lake surface.
The big guy holds the basin in one hand and has a short pole mesh bag in the other. This short pole mesh bag is a bamboo pole that is more than one meter long twisted a steel bar and a piece of mesh is wrapped around it.
Ao Muyang led the team into the water. He stretched his foot into the pond. It was slippery under his feet, and a crab was hidden inside, and he was stepped into the mud by him.
At this time, he raised his foot and stretched his short net bag in his hand into the foot. Because the steel ring could be subjected to force, he inserted it into the mud at the bottom of the lake and lifted it up, and a crab fell steadily into the net bag.
Of course, as the crabs are caught together, the lake mud is also washed away by the lake water, and the only remaining crabs are left.
Ao Muyang swung his wrist and the crab in his net pocket fell into the wooden basin, and the harvest was achieved.
This is easier than fishing at the foot, first of all, it is safe. Fishing at the foot is made of an iron hook to catch the swimming fish. The fishermen have to press the fish with their feet and then hook it up with an iron hook.
Moreover, fishing in footbeds must be carried out when the water temperature is very low. If the water temperature is high, the fish will be very active and will run away after being frightened.
Only when the water temperature is lower in winter and the vitality of the fish is reduced, it is easier to step on it.
Everyone started to gain something one after another, and pots of crabs were sent to the shore.
This fishing process is limited to the shallow water area by the lake. In deeper places, people are carrying small boats to get off the crab cages. The crab cages of each household are sprinkled. I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of them, and the entire bottom of the Ambergris Lake is now full of crab cages.
The event in Longtou Village was lively, and many people from outside the village also came to watch the fun, including people from Wangjia Village.
Wang Dongliang was mixed up and then saw Ao Muyang fishing out several broken crab cages from the water. This made him so angry. This was the crab cage in their Wangjia Village. The thread was cut a few days ago and it was not found...
Looking at the crowds of Longtou Village, his eyes were red with jealousness: "Magobi, Erjun, Dalong, call Sitong and others, let's dive to break the crab cage rope for them."
Dalong whispered: "Brother Daliang, calm down. There are so many people in Longtou Village, and that boy Ao Muyang is very good at fighting. If they discover this, we will be beaten out."
The sissy Erjun raised the orchid and pointed it on his face: "I regret that I can't be strong, why are there such a coward like you in Wangjia Village? Humph, sissy!"
Wang Dalong wanted to pee on him in anger, so he pushed Wang Erjun away and said, "You second chair, what are you slutty? What's your spell? Yes, you're just a sissy."
The title of Erchazi was a bit hurtful. Wang Erjun twisted his waist and stamped his feet in anger. He went to pull Wang Dongliang's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Look at it, Brother Daliang, he bullied me."
"What do you think? Look at the moon's face?" Wang Dongliang was upset and pushed him away, "Let's go home and drink, and then let's discuss how to deal with Longtou Village!"
The crabs were sent to the shore of the lake, and then the women began to work hard.
The women sat around, each with plastic baskets or bamboo baskets around them, and then sorted the crabs first.
The dead crabs are picked out first, then the second crabs with broken legs, and some are small thin crabs, which have to be sorted out.
Dead crabs cannot be eaten because they are rich in protein and cholesterol, and once they die, they will easily breed bacteria.
But it doesn't matter if you just die, the bacteria will not grow so quickly.
Ao Muyang arranged for someone to deal with the dead crabs. When he found the dead crabs, he immediately washed them with salt water, then chopped them and sent them to the village stone mill to crush them. This can be used to make crab sauce, very pure fisherman crab sauce.
Skinny crabs and secondary crabs are treated cheaply. He also found someone to deal with the second crabs. He washed them directly and put them in the pot to make steamed crabs, roasted crabs, and spicy crabs are eaten like normal crabs.
Remove the remaining crabs, secondary crabs and lean crabs, and the rest are high-quality crabs, and the next step is to prick crabs.
The tourists watched curiously. The women in the village were very enthusiastic and said to them: "Pick it yourself and look at which crab to take. Take it to the fishing house at noon and steam it simply. It is absolutely fresh."
"It's okay to take it home. I'll ask for a foam box at the fishing house, smash ice cubes into it and pick a few holes to ventilate. These crabs can live for two or three days!"
The visitor was surprised: "Can you live like this?"
A villager directly picked up a crab and smashed it hard on the ground: "Look, how tenacious is this vitality? The serious wild crab is very active."
Crabs that have just come out of water are classified according to their size and weight. From level three to level one, the third-level crab is thirty yuan per pound, the second-level crab is 50 yuan, and the first-level crab costs hundreds of yuan.
After learning the price, many people thought it was expensive. The villagers explained: "The price is indeed similar to the market price, but you have seen it. These are just caught crabs, fresh spots. Who knows where those crabs on the market came from? Who knows if those crabs are so active, did they take medicine?"
