The water fish is the turtle,
When Lu Ao saw soft-shell turtles in the river, he threw two pieces of pork liver into each cage to lure the fish.
If turtles are active in this area, you should be able to catch them.
Lin Qiyan's eyes lit up when he heard there was a turtle, "Then let's go over and have a look."
Lu Ao led the way with a bucket, while Lin Qiyan and Ge Ranzhou followed behind.
No one comes here all year round, and grass grows on both sides of the river, making it difficult for people to step down.
Especially in summer, there are many snakes and insects, and the weeds have sharp leaves. People have to be careful when coming here.
Lu Ao led the two of them forward.
After a while, we arrived at the first underground cage.
Lu Ao's cage was thrown into the river, and one end was tied to a branch on the bank.
Lin Qiyan quickly took a close-up of the branch.
When he took the photo, he discovered that there was a dark hornet's nest not far away. His heart trembled and he quickly lowered the camera.
Lu Ao didn't pay attention to the wasp nest nearby. He planned to collect bee pupae later, so he kept them specially.
Carefully untying the rope tied to the tree, Lu Ao slowly pulled the cage over.
Ge Ranzhou saw this interestingly and hurriedly said, "I'm here to help, too."
Lu Ao: "It's a bit heavy."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll try first."
Lu Ao did not refuse and handed him the rope of the cage in his hand.
Ge Ranzhou stood by the river and pulled hard. It turned out that the cage was much heavier than he thought.
He didn't even pull up the floor cage, so he slipped and almost fell into the river.
Fortunately, Lu Ao was always on guard. When he saw him, he even tilted his head and directly lifted him up by his arm.
Ge Ranzhou was almost lifted off the ground by him.
When he regained his footing, Ge Ranzhou was still frightened, "Why is it so heavy?"
Lu Ao took the ground cage and said, "The big ground cage I put may have more fish in it."
Ge Ranzhou wiped his sweat, and no longer dared to show off, he took a few steps back and stood behind Lu Ao.
Lu Ao was much stronger than him and could pull up the ground cage with ease. After a while, he pulled the first few sections ashore.
Ge Ranzhou stared at it and said excitedly: "Fish, there is a fish! I saw it."
Lu Ao looked down and said, "They are all tilapias and scavengers."
These two types of fish are the most common, and they have become overpopulated, occupying the living environment of local fish.
When Lu Ao caught these two kinds of fish, no matter how big or small, he would not release them. Instead, he would directly take them back and chop them into pieces, mix them with millet and feed them to the geese.
Ge Ranzhou continued to watch.
After a while, Lu Ao pulled up the entire cage.
In addition to scavengers and tilapia, there are also many small miscellaneous fish and crabs.
Lu Ao shook the ground cage and poured the contents into the bucket.
When he reached a certain point, he felt a round hard object.
When I poured it out, I saw that it was indeed a big turtle.
This turtle weighed at least two or three kilograms. After being caught, it stretched its neck and opened its mouth to bite someone.
Ge Ranzhou originally wanted to catch it, but when he saw it, he trembled and tightened his anus, "It's so fierce!"
Lu Ao grabbed its back armor from behind and said, "It's okay, not too vicious."
Lin Qiyan was taking pictures and said, "I really didn't know we had turtles here."
"Where there is water, there is likely to be water." Lu Ao threw the soft-shelled turtle into the bucket and then dumped the other fish and shrimps in the cage.
This river is connected to the sea and is considered a intersection of salt and fresh water. Fish and shrimp are always abundant.
Lu Ao poured out all the contents. One cage contained at least ten kilograms of fish.
Pick out all the fry and throw them back into the water, not even the small shrimps or crabs, just big fish, big shrimps and big crabs.
The crabs caught today gave Lu Ao a big surprise. In addition to blue crabs, there were also several mitten crabs, also known as hairy crabs.
He is used to eating river crabs and sea crabs, but Songzhou prefers river crabs.
River crab is relatively sweet.
Lu Ao pulled some grass nearby and tied up all the crabs he caught to prevent them from fighting in the bucket and breaking their legs.
Ge Ranzhou looked at the ground cage that had been recovered and found two pieces of pork liver inside.
The pig liver was eaten up by fish and shrimps, but it was not completely eaten. The remaining pig liver was left in the cage on the ground, exuding a strong fishy smell, which was fishy and unpleasant.
Ge Ranzhou asked: "Do you want to pour out these two pieces of pork liver?"
"No, keep staying there to lure fish."
As Lu Ao said this, he had already thrown all the small fish and shrimps in the bucket back into the river. Then he took the cage again and stood on the bank to gather his strength and throw it.
The ground cage spreads out to form a straight line in the river.
After throwing away the ground cage, Lu Ao continued to tie the tail of the ground cage to the tree by the river, and then took them to collect another ground cage.
The harvest from the other ground cage was similar to this one, but without the turtles.
Lu Ao glanced at it and didn't care.
For making soup, one turtle is enough.
The sky gradually darkened, and several people headed back home.
By the time we left the river, it was almost six o'clock, the evening wind had picked up, and there were more mosquitoes.
Ge Ranzhou looked at the mosquitoes buzzing in the sky and got goosebumps. He wiped his arms and asked, "Why are these mosquitoes so powerful?"
"Don't be afraid, these are male mosquitoes." Lin Qiyan comforted him, "They suck tree sap and don't bite."
"real or fake?"
"Really, those small, dark, beetle-like things bite people." Lin Qiyan said, grabbing it and showing it to him, "But since you've been moving around, there's a chance they can bite you.
It’s also small.”
There are the most mosquitoes in the evening, especially during this time of night. The mosquitoes are buzzing around, which can be said to be overwhelming. If you are not used to it, your scalp will feel numb when you see it.
Ge Ranzhou has been staying at Lu Ao's house for the past few days and has hardly seen any mosquitoes. At first glance, he gave goosebumps.
Lu Ao looked at him, "If you're afraid, just find some leaves for you, rub them into pieces and rub them on your skin."
"Will this work?"
"Yes, it can be useful if you apply leaves, yellow mud, or something on your skin."
Ge Ranzhou was really moved when he heard this, but after observing for a while, he didn't see any bugs actually biting him. After being moved for a while, he finally felt too lazy to do anything, so he had to give up.
The three of them walked along the road and soon saw the village.
Lin Qiyan asked: "What are you going to do with this turtle?"
"Kill a chicken and make chicken soup."
"Hey hey hey, chicken soup is good. You don't raise chickens at home. Can I bring one over later? You can lend me a soft-shelled turtle to take a picture of."
"Does your family have one?"
"Yes, my grandma raised a large brood of chickens. She usually puts them outside to let them find food on their own. Authentic free-range chickens are best for making soup. I will catch them for you later."
"Okay. You can bring your grandma over for dinner later."
"Okay, I'll ask her."
Lin Qiyan wanted to go back to get the chicken, so he simply put the camera at Lu Ao's house, got on his motorcycle and went there.
Seeing his excited back, Ge Ranzhou shook his head.
Lu Ao poured the fish and shrimps caught today into a large basin and sorted them.
Put the tilapia and the scavenger aside, put it into bags later, stuff it into the freezer and freeze it. If it freezes to death, take it out and grind it into minced fish to feed the geese tomorrow morning.
Take out the shrimps and crabs and put them in another bucket.
In the evening, you can stir-fry spicy crabs and deep-fried prawns.
As for some small miscellaneous fish, they can be fried or stir-fried.
Finally, there is the turtle.
Lu Ao picked it up by its back and put it on the scale to weigh it.
