114. Net fishing

"Dad, I'll catch some fish in the pond tomorrow, so I have to invite some people." Sun Gang called Li Yang and asked him to arrange someone to fill the fish tomorrow.

"I know."

"Yes, dad, there is no big net." Sun Gang suddenly thought of this.

"I'll borrow one, and I'll have it in the village."[]

Pull nets are commonly used in fishing in rural weir ponds or reservoirs. They are generally hundreds of meters long and three or four meters high. There is an outline at the upper end of the mesh, and a float is connected to the outline. They are made of plastic foam. There is a bottom end of the mesh, and a pendant is connected to the bottom, which is a lead alloy.

The next morning, the sky turned white and there were a few red stains in the distance.

Widths of dawn penetrated the clouds and shone on the quiet earth. Happy birds were already singing softly on the branches of the tree, and the crisp sound of birds called on the sleeping people in the village.

The mornings in the village come much earlier than those on the clock, and start with the cuckoos hovering over the village. When the first sound of "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" sounded crisply in the village, some diligent adults got up from the bed, turned on the lights, and yawned while thinking about the things they would do in the day.

Sun Gang did not open the duck circle door as usual, and he wanted to open the net to catch fish today.

The relatives and friends invited by Sun's father came to the house early, including Sun Gang's uncle, elder brother, and neighbors Zhou Haisheng, Hu Jinbao, Hu Jinliang, and Hu Jincheng.

A group of people carried the net to the pond, and Sun's mother prepared breakfast for so many people at home.

In the morning, it is suitable for fishing while the sun has not yet come out and the water temperature is low.

Zhang Dasu handed the rope to Sun Gang, then grabbed one of the ropes of the fishing nets and said, "Gangwa, I'll go put the nets here, you guys will grab them." He turned around and shouted, "Haisheng, Jinbao, let's go to the north."

After looking at his uncle, Sun Gang nodded. He also knew that he might not be of that level in the room. Zhang Dasuo and Hu Jincheng held the net while slowly walking towards the opposite side. The pond was not very big, but fortunately it was narrow and long. If it was a wide one, it would be difficult to pull it.

Originally, when catching fish, they would release most of the water and catch them, but Sun Gang planned to continue raising fish in this pond. The most important thing is that this is not the season for catching fish. Generally, fishing is caught when the end of the year is approaching.

This kind of big net is heavier, so it takes several people to pull it.

The dam is narrow and long, with east-west directions. The ridge of the dam is in the south. Sun Gang and a few people pulled one side on the ridge of the dam, and the other several dragged the net to the north. Four people on the same side pulled the net rope below and walked in front; the other two pulled the net rope above and walked in the back.

Everyone divided the work, seven or eight people pulled a net, divided into two groups, side by side from west to east. After the big net was extended, it was almost the width of the reservoir, so that it just happened to kill all the big fish in one net.

It can be seen that pulling the net is a very difficult task. When pulling, they all lean forward. They slowly walked by the pond. The upper end of the fish net was connected by pieces of plastic, floating on the river surface, and pulled into a graceful arc.

After pulling the fishing net from the west with a lonely line, forming a large encirclement, then turning back and pulling the fishing net to the east. The shallow water area is in the west, and the water in the east is relatively deep.

The large net is pulled from shallow water to deep water, because if it is pulled back, it will surround the fish into the shallow water, and these fish will jump up. If you jump over the fishing net, there will be many "flies that miss the net".

The mesh of the large net that Sun Gang borrowed was very large, and small fish would pass through it and only catch big fish.

The sun was coming out, and more and more people were watching the fun in the village.

The fish are slowly gathering with the net.

You can see many big fish jumping from the net and the water high, causing the group of little kids on the shore to scream, and many adults also followed suit, and the scene was very lively.

Several large grass carp jumped up from the water "swoosh" and quickly drilled into the water. Some jumped out of the net, and it seemed that they felt the existence of a crisis.

People on the ridge of the pond were talking. An old man said, "How could such a big fish escape? What a pity!"

The snot baby said, "Haha! The fish jumped out and jumped back. Isn't this a trap?"

A few kids also like to join in the fun. Now it’s not time to go to school, so I’ll have to come and have a look in just a while.

"Everyone is trying hard, and you will end up holding on for a while. You will see the fish immediately. Everyone is working hard!" Zhou Haisheng shouted loudly from the opposite side.

I reached the shore more than fifty meters, so I tried to get heavier and heavier. After pulling for so long, I was tired enough. Now there seemed to be many fish in the net, and the falling fishing nets were semicircular. I don’t know if there are too many fish or too many water plants in the net. In short, everyone struggled and walked very slowly.

Hu Jinbao's wife stood on the shore and shouted loudly, "Look at you guys, they are all strong like cows on the shore. Why do you look like turtles when you get into the water? I think you are not even as good as turtles!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone by the pond was very happy. They laughed together. The people in the water laughed, and Hu Jinbao said with a smile, "This old lady is a lot of things. If you have the ability, please come down and try it?"

Half-year-old man who was watching the fun continued to speak and shouted to the edge of the pond, "Sister-in-law, you should take off your clothes and go down there. Have a couple playing with Brother Jinbao to show us."

"You bastard, you don't even have all your hair..." Hu Jinbao's wife cursed with a smile.

After such a riot, the people in the water didn't feel so tired, and the speed of pulling the net was much faster.

It took nearly an hour to pull the net from the west to the east. Now it is obvious on the ridge of the pond. There are many fish crowded in the water, and they jump out of the water from time to time and splash a wave.

The edge of the pond was also boiling. Several people pulled the fishing net hard. They held the long net rope with their hands, pulled it, pulled it, followed them and shouted the net pulling phone number, and joined together to form a happy net pulling tune.

The few people who had sweated from there and finally completed the task. After fixing the ropes on the net, the big fish and small fish rushed around in the fish net, and jumped out and ran away several big carp.

Sun Gang also came ashore with everyone, and now he is in captivity, waiting for someone to start fishing. If he picks up the fish bag and fishes it into the water on the shore, he will definitely be able to catch two fish.

Sun Gang's grandfather looked at the ridge of the yin and said, "I didn't expect there were quite a lot."

"Hey, Brother Li, come here early and get more buckets for fishing." Seeing that the fish were surrounded, Sun Gang called Li Yang and asked him to come over to fill the fishing.

"What, how many are there? Anyway, you can get more buckets and come here early. Didn't you come the day before yesterday? I'll bring two of you then."

In the Lijia Aquatic Products Company in the county, the door of a manager's office was suddenly pushed open, and an elderly man sat inside. Looking at the person who had just pushed the door in, he frowned and asked, "Li Yang, I'll ask you to contact the source of fish, have you been in contact? The factory will be out of stock in two days."

"Dad, I have it." Li Yang, who rushed into the door, poured a glass of water and then spoke after drinking it.

"What's there, let me make it clear." He is worried about this these days.

"I have a source of goods. Do you still remember the one I told you yesterday? It's the one I bought eels." Li Yang said after sitting on the sofa.

Li Yang's father stood up first, then sat down happily, and was now worried about the source of goods. This season happened to be the longest portion of fish. Most fish farmers were unwilling to fish at this time, but had to wait until the most expensive price at the end of the year before starting fishing. Therefore, the time of the year was the time when the supply was the least, so they had to go out of town to find the source of goods. The cost of the coming and going increased a lot. Seeing that the fish in the company were about to end, they were now worried.

"After arranging two cars to load the fish, you have to follow them in person."

"I understand, dad, go out right away."

When Li Yang brought two cars to the pond ridge, he started to catch fish with nets. Li Yang looked at the nets of fish, both big and small, thinking that at least three or four thousand kilograms would have to be at least three or four thousand kilograms.

Seeing that fish of all sizes were caught and put into fish buckets, there were quite a few fish, most of which were carp, grass carp, and crucian carp. They were sorted and loaded.

"There are big fish!" Hu Jinbao roared beside the net.

I stretched out my hands to catch it, but I saw a big fish's tail swing and a "pop" gave it to him.

"Haha..." made everyone laugh.

"Cousin, don't catch this fish," Sun Gang stepped forward to stop him, reached out to pick up the grass carp, put it outside the net, and one of them went down and disappeared. This fish was the big fish that he caught in the reservoir with Zhao Han last time.

"Hey, why did you let it go?" Li Yang was so sorry.

"This fish cannot be sold. I caught it with my girlfriend last time in the reservoir. If she knew I sold it, then..."

"Haha..." Everyone smiled kindly.

Sun Gang looked at the big and small fish and asked Dad Sun, "How many pounds are there?"

Dad Sun said happily: "It must be at least four or five thousand kilograms."

"Brother Li, this is not enough to weigh it in a fish bucket, you see?" It is really hard to weigh it in the fish bucket with water.

"Will this happen, I won't deceive you. When I came, I passed the floor pound with the fish bucket. When you went there with me, we will settle the bill. How about it?" Li Yang took out the invoice from the pound and showed it to Sun Gang. They were very familiar with this process in this industry.

This is indeed a good idea, and Sun Gang did not object.

Sun Gang discussed with his father that each person who came to see the scene gave two fish, not big ones, some of the two or three pounds of fish. Everyone was happy to take the fish given by Sun Gang, and praised Sun Gang as generous, etc. Not long after, the people in the village who watched the fun basically went back, and the adults left, and some little kids were watching the fish. From time to time, the fish jumped out, and a few little kids picked it up and threw it in.
