"You are so short-tempered! What nonsense!" Jiang Hongxing is obviously suitable for the central government, and his logic is also very simple: "In any year when the Jiachuan River doesn't accept a few lives, will the River God be dissatisfied with too many offerings?!"

This sentence made everyone happy, but Zhou Zhi felt embarrassed: "I know, there will be no next time."

Only then did Jiang Hongxing laugh: "Let's go home and tell you, you see, you just came to the door and gave me a speech. It's not that I don't welcome you. The guests in the hall have talked about you several times!"

Because the main industry on the island is sugar cane, summer is actually a slack period for farmers here.

The weather is hot, and there are few people coming to the island. The whole village is used to moving in the morning and evening, and it is quiet during the day.

Just when we arrived at the gate of the manor, Jiang Hongxing's guest had already brought out the boiled corn and potatoes. The boss put a pot on the table: "We don't have anything to entertain the rare guests. Let the kids eat and play first. I'll get some for you."

Go ahead and mix the tomatoes with sugar!”

"Stop working so hard, someone brought us wine and a big watermelon!" Jiang Hongxing said with a smile.

"Why are you so embarrassed? Why are you guys still holding tires while your elbows are bare?" Guest Jiang Hongxing was surprised: "You didn't take a ferry and swam here from Shida Town?"

Jiang Hongxing rolled her eyes: "These kids are so brave that they floated down from Jiachuan River holding tires!"

"Oh, what's going to happen if something happens?!" Jiang Hongxing's guest fell back in fright: "You can't do this!"

"If you want to play in the water, play by the water's edge. Use the shrimps at home to rake them. They won't be exposed to the sun under the bamboo forest!" After saying this, he felt that it would be better to clear the water than to block it, so he helped the kids with some ideas.

"Ah, right!" Zhou Zhi suddenly felt itchy and unbearable: "We will go catch fish later!"

"Can you move a bamboo basket? Wen Yu should be about the same strength." Jiang Hongxing said, "I have a big bamboo basket at home. That's what adults play with."

"Then I have to give it a try!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

Jiang Hongxing went into the house, and soon he carried out a large bamboo pole and several small bamboo poles, with a large net wrapped around them. This is the net commonly used by Jiachuan people for fishing in summer.

He put the basket on the ground, went in and took out a net with a lead pendant at the bottom. In Jiachuan dialect, "cutting the net" is actually a net. Throw a circle to cover the fish, and then draw the rope to catch the lead.

The pendants are brought together to trap the fish in the net and collect the rope.

"You're not serious!" The guest was cutting tomatoes. When he saw Jiang Hongxing's movement, he spat: "The kids haven't even rested yet!"

"Auntie, let's go!" The friends couldn't bear it after seeing this: "We didn't come here on foot, so there's no need to rest!"

After packing up all the net gear, Jiang Hongxing led her friends towards the river. Even Jiang Shuyi, Feng Xueshan and the others were very excited, picking up shrimp rakes and fish baskets and following behind.

When they came to a relatively gentle slope, Jiang Hongxing said, "You guys can play here. It's very flat here and there's wire grass underneath, so it's suitable for shrimp scraping and raking."

"How do you play this?" Jiang Shuyi asked.

"I can, I can!" Wei Fei and Zhang Lu raised their hands together. Dahe and Qianwang looked heavy. Both of them were relatively small and felt that they couldn't control them, so they decided to join the girls' side.

Zhou Zhi Yanghe and Fang Wenyu followed Jiang Hongxing to a place downstream, where they first tied four thin bamboo poles into a cross, then hung the four corners of the net on the bamboo poles, and then tied the center of the cross to the thick bamboo pole.

Attach a pull rope with small wooden sticks as crossbars, and an ancient netting tool - the big bamboo pole - is assembled.

Stand the big net up and pull the rope to control it to fall forward into the water. The big net held by the cross bamboo poles will sink into the water and fall to the bottom.

After five or six minutes, when the disturbed fish in the water return, you can set up the net to catch the fish.

Catching fish in the big net requires a lot of strength, and there are no other skills. The only skill is to control the rope when retracting and releasing it, so as not to let the big net tilt around.

"Who wants to go boating with me?" Jiang Hongxing asked, "There is also a barrage on the boat."

"Let's all go." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The commander doesn't know how to operate a boat, but Yang He and I can."

"Then Wenyu is catching fish here." Jiang Hongxing said: "I will come back to take your place after I teach them how to do it!"

They found a small boat at the entrance of a small ditch, and the three of them got on the boat. Jiang Hongxing stood at the bow, Zhou Zhi in the middle, and Yang He at the stern.

】

The small boat rowed upstream along the gentle water between the river and the Huitui River. Jiang Hongxing knew at a glance that Yang He was really an expert. He gave a thumbs up to express his approval, and then pointed out the position where the net was lowered.

I still vaguely remember the terrain there. It is also a strange and weird "stone forest", which is a wonder in winter.

"It's just a fish nest in the summer." Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: "But you can only lower the wire net, and use the chopping net to escape the fish."

The wire net is composed of three layers of net, with a large-eye net in the middle and small-eye nets on the outer two layers. Because the fish will not move backwards, it can only continue drilling after touching the net, and it will be trapped in the net.

The net is strung on a bamboo pole. Zhou Zhi is responsible for pushing the net to Jiang Hongxing, and Xiang Hongxing is responsible for wiping the net into the water little by little.

The net is equipped with a bottom sink and a float, and it needs to be towed in places where the current is too strong, otherwise it will be washed into a mess by the current. Therefore, when setting off the net during high water periods, the choice of location is very critical.

Only an old native like Jiang Hongxing can find the right place.

After lowering the net, Jiang Hongxing began to chop the net and catch fish.

This net weighs sixteen kilograms, which is quite a large piece of heavy equipment. Once the net is spread out, it will spread out ten steps, and the area is quite large.

The place where the net is cast is just outside the place where the wire net is lowered. Another purpose of fishing here is to drive the escaping fish that escape the net to the other side of the wire net.

The first net was harvested. Three fish were caught in the net, one was a crucian carp that weighed more than half a kilogram, a carp that weighed more than a kilogram, and a long and thin strip with a sharp mouth and round belly, which was almost a kilogram. Jiang Hongxing laughed.

Said: "You guys are blessed with good taste."

"Shui Mizi, it's rare to see such a big Jiachuan River!" Zhou Zhi was also surprised and happy: "It seems I'm no longer needed here. I'll accompany the commander to move the river!"

After saying that, he somersaulted into the water and swam towards the shore.

There are not many opportunities to move big fish on the fishing boat, but in places with good resources, the nets are almost empty. After pulling up the big fishing boat, you can see that there are many small fish and shrimps in it.

The big one was crucian carp, but it was different from the one Jiang Hongxing caught with a chopping net. The largest one was only about the length of a palm.

The small ones are some miscellaneous fish, white striped wheat ears, etc. The big ones are one card, which is the maximum length that can be opened from the thumb to the middle finger, and the small ones are as long as the little finger.

There are even smaller ones, those are grass shrimps.
