Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Because this is the habit of snakehead fish. They especially like to eat frogs."

Lin Heng smiled and explained that this lure fishing method originated in Europe and has not been introduced to China yet.

Even if Chinese people know that snakeheaded fish are ferocious, they would not think of this fishing method.

Lin Heng has an advantage over fake baits by using live frogs. The strong smell of blood can better lure snakeheaded fish.

"Then I'll give it a try too." Lin Yue said with a smile. He took a plate of fishing line from Lin Heng's hand and followed his example to find a grass hole and try to catch snakeheaded fish.

The swamp in Sanchagou is in an undeveloped state. Because the water surface is full of duckweeds and weeds, it is impossible to lower the net. At most, fishing traps such as ground cages and ground hooks are used.

It is difficult to catch snakeheaded fish in this kind of trap. As a result, there are many snakeheaded fish in this trap but few people have caught it. ,

Lin Heng also understood this and decided to come here to catch snakeheaded fish.

Lin Heng and his elder brother kept the snakehead fish they had just caught temporarily in the water with a rope through its gill holes. Lin Heng and his elder brother continued to try.

"Brother, do you think there's a snakehead hidden there?" Lin Yue pointed at a small water surface not far in front of him and said.

"I'm not sure about this. Let's throw it over and give it a try." Lin Heng shook his head.

He pulled out the fishing line, threw it into a water surface full of duckweed, and then slowly reeled in the line.

Just after two or three throws, there was a loud pop in the distance, and then Lin Yue's excited voice came out: "It's hit, it's hit!"

Lin Yue was even more irritable than Lin Heng. He pulled the fish in front of him in three clicks. The fish was smaller than the one Lin Heng caught, weighing about three or four kilograms.

"Brother, this method of yours really works, don't tell others." Lin Yue said excitedly while holding the fish.

"That's for sure. Let's just catch the fish quietly." Lin Heng said with a smile. If others learn this method, the snakehead fish here will have nothing to do with them.

Then the two of them spread out and searched the water. This kind of real frog was good to use, but it would hang to death in the grass from time to time.

The fishhook has been hidden as much as possible but cannot be avoided. Compared with plastic fake bait, it is far inferior to plastic bait in terms of crossing obstacles.

Fortunately, Lin Heng brought enough lines and fishhooks. As for the frogs, it was not difficult to catch them in this swamp.

Plop! !

"Hit again!!"

Lin Heng searched a small pool for more than ten seconds when suddenly there was an explosion, and then he quickly pulled up the black fish.

"This is so fun, you caught the second one in just half an hour." Lin Yue said excitedly.

"It's a pity that we don't have a good lure pole." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head. If he had a good lure pole, he couldn't imagine how great it would be.

Lin Yue chuckled: "I think it's enough if I can catch fish."

"Let's try another place." Lin Heng shook his head and continued walking deeper into the swamp. The reeds and cattails here were as tall as two people, making people look extremely small inside.

The sky was blue, and the golden sun was getting hotter. The two fished until eleven o'clock in the afternoon when they stopped, and the harvest was huge.

Lin Heng was very skilled and caught five snakeheaded fish. The smallest weighed three kilograms and the largest weighed seven or eight kilograms. The total weighed twenty or thirty kilograms.

His eldest brother didn't know how to play at first, so he caught two snakeheaded fish, which weighed eight or nine kilograms in total.

The snakeheaded fish resources here were unexpectedly good, and both of them were very surprised.

"This is much more exciting than hunting." Under a willow tree, Lin Yue said happily while looking at the seven black fish raised in Xiaoshuiwa.

"It's just not easy to sell. It's easy to sell in the city." Lin Heng took a bite of the fennel steamed bun and said with a smile. Compared with other fish, another advantage of snakehead is that it has a long lifespan. It can live for three to four hours without water and relies on gill holes to breathe. It can be brought back alive without raising it.

"This is enough for myself." Lin Yue said.

The two of them rested under a tree, finished their meal, and fed the dog. Then they went down to the ground to catch catfish while looking for wild ducks, rabbits, pigs, badgers, etc. There were quite a lot of prey in the swamp.

After just searching for a whole afternoon, they couldn't find any prey. There were traces of people walking everywhere, and they saw a few wild ducks but couldn't catch them.

Because these things are located in the center of the large water surface, they are too far away for people to get close to.

"Since we can't catch prey, let's continue hunting snakehead fish." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I think so too. As long as there is a guarantee, it won't be a loss." Lin Yue nodded.

The two continued to try to hunt black fish by the water. As it got darker, gunshots were heard from time to time in the surrounding mountains and forests, and there were many people hunting.

Originally, few people could stay in the mountains for a few days like Lin Heng, but now they all have learned how to do it, and there are more people in Sanchagou.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Heng looked at the fish in his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, brother, let's go back."

He caught five more snakeheaded fish this afternoon, and together with the one from the morning, it was ten. It was definitely a bumper harvest. Now he just wanted to go home and make pickled fish to share with his family.

"How about we go back tomorrow? Look for prey nearby at night?" Lin Yue asked with a smile. He wanted to continue hunting.

Lin Heng shook his head and refused: "It's not necessary. It's definitely hard to hunt prey here. Next time, let's change the direction and go hunting where dad digs ginseng."

"That's okay."

When Lin Heng said this, Lin Yue no longer hesitated. He took out a thickened plastic bag and put the snakehead fish in it, then put two layers of snakeskin bags on the outside, put a little water in it, put it in a backpack and carried the fish back.

Lin Yue's skills were not as good as Lin Heng's. He caught two snakehead fish in the afternoon and caught a catfish weighing more than a pound with a ground hook. The harvest was not bad.

The two of them walked straight back with the fish and the dog on their backs.

Because their current location is already in the upper reaches of Sancha Valley, not far from the shelter they built by the mountain stream last year, they simply walked back by themselves on the ridge here.

Although it is a detour, it is much easier to walk than in the swamp, and overall the speed will be faster.

By the way, you can also search this mountain to see if you can find any prey.

Not long after walking, there was a movement in front of them. When they got closer, they discovered that it was Tian Baishun and Wang Kaidian's group of four people.

"Old man Tian, ​​why are you still hunting here and not elsewhere?" Lin Heng greeted with a smile.

Tian Baishun smiled and invited: "There are roe deer here recently. I'll look for them. Do you want to come with me?"

"Forget it, it's useless even if they come." Wang Bing shook his head and smiled disdainfully. "I said in the morning that they would definitely not be able to hit anything today, and you see, they really didn't hit anything."

When Tian Baishun heard this, he immediately cursed: "Then you got it? No one can compare with me. If you keep doing this, go back and stop hunting with us."

Wang Bing is not his nephew, he will not be used to it. He already dislikes this guy, and he knows how to prey on them without any skills.

"It's true that we didn't catch any prey." Lin Heng didn't care and said casually, and then added, "I'm going to go back directly right now. You guys can continue hunting. I won't participate."

"Plop!! Plop!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black fish in the basket started beating like crazy.

"What are you carrying? What good things did you get?" Tian Baishun asked immediately. He knew that Lin Heng was dishonest and liked to hide things.

So after he finished speaking, he came over to see the fish in Lin Heng's basket.

"Damn, how did you get so many black sticks? This is a good thing!" Tian Baishun said in shock.

Several other people also gathered around, dumbfounded when they saw the ten black fish inside. They didn't understand how Lin Heng caught it.

"I won't tell you anymore." Lin Heng shook his head and tied the mouth of the bag to prevent them from looking at it.

Tian Baishun turned to look at Wang Bing and said coldly: "Wang Bing, you can see now that not everyone is the same as you."

If hunting can be said to be luck, getting so many snakehead fish definitely requires special techniques and techniques.

"It's just a few mullets, not roe deer, and it's not worth much money." Wang Bing was stubborn, but he still looked proud.

Lin Heng put the basket on his back and said with a smile: "It's not worth a lot of money. You can play while I leave."

Lin Heng's frivolous attitude of not taking him seriously made Wang Bing feel aggrieved. This kind of carelessness was more uncomfortable than any other behavior, but he still couldn't vent it.

"You really should be more mature, otherwise you won't be suitable for hunting." Wang Kaidian looked at his nephew and said in a serious tone.

After walking far away, Lin Yuecai asked in confusion: "Brother, why don't you tell me about the reflection of the chain around his neck? If you tell me, he will definitely get scolded."

Lin Heng told Wang Bing about the chain he was carrying during his lunch break. He thought Lin Heng would use this to counterattack just now.

Lin Heng smiled casually: "Shouldn't we help him again after we said it? Wouldn't it be better to wait until they can't hunt for a few days before discovering this problem?"

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized: "Hey, what you said makes sense, brother."

It's just a small problem now, but it will be a big problem if he finds out that it was him who ran away from the prey one after another.

"So there is no need to pay attention to such people." Lin Heng said with a smile. Ignoring such people is the biggest blow to him.

Lin Yue nodded, feeling that his brother really didn't look like a young man. Could it be because he read too much?

On the way back, the two of them didn't explore much, and walked straight back. By the time they returned to Hongfeng Mountain, the sun had disappeared, and only the top of the mountain in the west had streaks of light red clouds.

It was difficult to see clearly when walking in the woods, so I needed to turn on the flashlight. Fortunately, they had already arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, and the two of them quickly walked down the path.

The distant cry of Laifu called out Father Lin and Mother Lin, and saw Lin Heng and the other two taking it over: "Did you get the black fish?"

"I got it. It's a great harvest this time. My brother's method of catching black fish is too strong." Lin Yue said excitedly.

Father Lin asked curiously: "How much do you have to do to have a good harvest?"

"I got three black fish and one catfish, and my brother got ten." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Father Lin was stunned: "So many! That is indeed a great harvest."

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Go to the indoor incubation pool and let you have a good look."

The four of them went to the indoor hatching tank together. Lin Heng put down the basket and poured the fish into a small cage. The cage was filled with ten fish at once.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up.

"Awesome, son, how did you catch him?" Mother Lin asked curiously.

Father Lin also said: "Isn't this an ordinary fishing method?"

"It is indeed not an ordinary fishing method. Have you eaten?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

Mother Lin said: "Just about to do it."

"Then let's go over and eat together. While we were eating, we talked and I asked Xiulan to cut the sauerkraut." Lin Heng said, then he caught the largest black fish and knocked it to death.

"That's okay."

Mother Lin could only nod. After all, Lin Hengyu had already been killed.

After packing up and locking the door, Lin's father and mother followed him.

"Dad~~"

As soon as he entered the house, Xiaoxia rushed over. Lin Heng picked him up and brought him into the house. He put the black fish on the ground and said with a smile: "A big black fish weighing eight kilograms."

"Awesome, second brother!" Caiyun looked at the black fish and said with a smile.

Xiulan said: "I knew you could get it. I have prepared the pickled cabbage and seasonings."

Father Lin reminded: "Lin Heng is really good this time. He caught ten black fish by himself!"

As soon as this was said, Xiulan and Caiyun were really surprised. Ten fish is not ordinary.

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Kill the fish first, and we will talk slowly when we eat."

"I'll kill the fish, you change your clothes and take a bath first." Father Lin looked at him and said.

Xiulan picked off the spider web on his head and said, "I've found clothes for you. They're all on the bed. The kettle is full of water. Don't always take cold showers."

"Okay." Lin Heng agreed with a smile, put Xiaoxia down from his arms, and went into the house to take a shower.

The clothes were neatly placed on the bed, and the big basin and cold water in the backyard were ready. Xiulan was always so virtuous and prepared everything for him in advance. He just poured some hot water to take a shower.

When he came out of the shower, Lin's father had already killed the big black fish. After killing it, it still weighed seven pounds. It was definitely a big black fish.

"Leave the rest to me." Lin Heng smiled and took the black fish into the house, and quickly cut it up with a sharp Damascus dagger.

After the bones are fried golden brown, add boiling water to boil out the milky white fish pond. After adding the fried pickled cabbage, the soup will turn into a beautiful light yellow. Add vermicelli and minced garlic and cook.

Finally, leave some soup to blanch the cut fish slices and put them on the top of the basin. Add some chili and pour hot oil to finish.

There was a lot of fish meat to begin with, and a lot of vermicelli was added, so a large basin with a diameter of 30 cm was filled.

However, with so many people in his family and his eldest brother's family, they would definitely be able to finish it.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Lin Heng brought the fish to the table and shouted loudly. There were also some green vegetables and cold dishes that Xiulan and the others had fried on the table before, and the yellow wine and rice wine were also poured.

"Come on, let's have one first and then eat!" Lin Heng said with a smile, raising his glass. A busy day was satisfied with just this meal.

After a glass of wine, everyone started eating. Those who ate fish meat ate fish meat, those who ate vermicelli ate vermicelli, and those who turned the door to eat sauerkraut, the table was full of people and very lively, and they were happy.

Every time at this time, they forgot their worries and only had a happy meal.

"Dad, I want to eat vermicelli~" Xiaoxia acted like a spoiled child after slurping it. The vermicelli full of sauerkraut soup was very delicious, especially loved by children.

"Eat more fish." Lin Heng picked up two pieces of fish for her and two pieces for Xiulan.

Xiulan handed over a bowl of rice wine and said, "Drink the remaining rice wine. It's very strong."

She drank a little of the soup, and there was still a lot of thick rice wine left.

"Just eat more fish." Lin Heng smiled and picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He liked the taste of rice wine very much.

The whole family ate for nearly an hour. After finishing the fish and vermicelli, they soaked the rice in the soup. In the end, there was almost nothing left.

"Give it to me." Xiulan looked at the rice he couldn't finish and said.

"Thank you, wife." Lin Heng didn't hesitate and gave Xiulan a small half of the remaining rice. The two of them often ate each other's saliva, and there was no problem of who disliked who with a little leftovers.

"I have something to tell you." After cleaning up the dishes, Xiulan called Lin Heng.
