Chapter 581 Pull the net to catch fish.

"I'll follow them." Seeing that Yan Yongning was a little worried, Zimo quickly called for the guards who were good at swimming and followed Chuchu and the others. He left the greetings and courtesies to the Fourth Master. Zimo didn't want to deal with these things and it was more comfortable to follow the young lady.

In fact, except Chuchu who can't swim, everyone else in the group is a good swimmer. We are not afraid of danger when taking them out, but it is spring and we are still wearing thin coats. No one will feel good if they get wet.

The children had the same idea: playing in the water was impossible, but rowing a boat and watching them fishing from the boat was a pleasure.

When Zimo went out, he saw that the young ladies had already gone into the cabin to play. In addition to the door, the cabin had large windows on three sides. There were dining tables and chairs inside. The windows were now open, and the light was very good. The scenery outside was clearly visible, and each window looked like a different painting.

In addition to the rice fields in the distance that have not yet started to be planted, there are occasionally a few farmers driving cows to weed the fields. The stream under the wooden house is now flowing with strong water. Due to the heavy rain in spring, the water is not so clear, and there are no fish in the river. Chuchu can't help but be a little disappointed.

If it is summer, it would be a more beautiful sight to see the endless golden rice fields and fish swimming in the clear stream. I am afraid that eating in this cabin would be more delicious.

"The current is so fast, it must be difficult to catch fish, right?" Seeing several people coming out dragging heavy fishing nets, with A Zhong walking in the front, Zimo couldn't help but follow him and ask him.

Look at what the manager said just now, he even told us what kind of fish to catch, and said we should catch more. But looking at the river water, it doesn't look like that's possible. How can we just order anything when we pull a net in flowing water?

"Of course not in this creek, sir." Ah Zhong bowed and smiled, pointing to the rice fields on the other side of the river, telling Zi that the inkfish should be caught there.

"The fish are raised in the rice fields across the street. There are several rice fields dug there. We usually throw the small fish we catch there and then catch them in the net when we want to eat them. If they were in this stream, how could we eat them whenever guests come? We don't have that ability."

After hearing what Ah Zhong said, Zimo finally understood: "Your master is smart and is willing to work hard on this farm. Let's go and take a look together."

Knowing that they had to take a boat to get to the other side, the children came out of the cabin chattering and ran straight to the small boat on the river bank.

As there was nothing else to do, the steward saw that his legs were shaking and he drank two cups of tea. Yan Yongning stopped making things difficult for him and followed the others out.

When we talk about fishing, everyone naturally wants to go along, and it’s never too late to drink tea later.

There are three small boats tied under the pillars of the cabin. Once the fishing nets are put on, the boats are full and only the few people who are fishing can get on. No one else can get on.

A Zhong and another old man rowed out the other two boats. Seeing that the stream was still a little fast, they allowed five people to get on each boat at a time. It seemed that the two of them had to cross the river twice before they got everyone across.

Ah Zhong was friendly and chatted with them while rowing, saying, "Last year, there were a lot of fish in the rice fields, including quite a few big fish, but they all escaped due to the flood, which is a pity.

The ones that are still kept are the ones that we caught later when we blocked the creek. After the flood, we also harvested a lot of big fish, all of which escaped from the fish ponds upstream. I remember there are at least a dozen of them weighing more than 20 kilograms. We can definitely catch a few later. The fish is delicious whether stewed, braised, or steamed. The meat is firm and sweet.”

“But no matter how delicious it is, it doesn’t taste as good as it did in previous years.”

Ah Zhong's sudden words made Chu Chu curious, and she couldn't help asking, "Uncle Ah Zhong, what does this mean? Is there anything special about eating fish?"

“Why doesn’t it taste so good this year?”

“Are last year’s fish even fatter?”

……

After hearing Miss Chu talking, the other children also asked him questions one after another, wanting to know what was going on.

As he paddled, Ah Zhong explained, "During this year's Ghost Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, our master will definitely send you some good fish. At that time, the fish that have eaten the rice flower pollen are very sweet and the meat is very tender. You can't eat them outside. They are incomparable to those caught in the creek. Naturally, they are more delicious than what we catch now. Now the rice fields have not started to be planted yet, where do the rice flowers come from?"

Chuchu was very depressed. Would the fish taste sweeter after eating rice flowers? This wild fish was too particular. Could it be that like humans, taking a bath of fresh flowers and milk would improve their skin?

The distance between the two banks was only a few meters, so everyone went ashore without asking any detailed questions.

After walking a few dozen steps ashore, I saw that the fish ponds were dug in the middle of a rice field, covering an area of ​​about seven or eight acres. There were fruit trees planted around them. Perhaps because of the flood last year, the river embankment looked newly dug and deliberately raised, probably to prevent the fish from escaping again.

The rice pollen that A Zhong mentioned should be the pollen that flies into the fish pond when the rice is heading. With so many rice fields, there should be a lot of rice pollen that flies in accidentally. It’s just that the river bank is so high this year, I’m afraid that not that much pollen can fly in?

However, these are just Chuchu and her friends' thoughts. Only those who have eaten it know the details. Anyway, Chuchu is half-believing and half-doubting.

The fish pond was not dug very deep, and the five or six people led by A Zhong only had their chests submerged when they stood in it.

Several people lined up from one side of the fish pond and spread the net, letting it sink to the bottom of the river. Two people were placed on each side to pull the net, and two people were placed in the middle to step on the net to prevent the fish from escaping.

Then they slowly gathered around them from the other side, and soon they saw fish jumping around inside the fishing net.

The closer the person pulling the net got to the center, the more fish jumped out, and some actually escaped to the other side.

Sure enough, there were quite a lot of fish in the pond, just as Ah Zhong said.

Two people who no longer needed to pull the net after casting it came towards them, all wet. Each of them carried a large fish basket from a small wooden shed on the river bank, and went down into the water to the river bank closer to them to wait to catch fish.

The water was quite cold in this weather. Seeing them all wet, Chuchu and the other little ones wanted to shiver.

The faces of the people remained unchanged. When asked if they were cold, the people in the water smiled and said, "It's not cold in the water. The water is still warm."

But Chu Chu didn't believe it. This wasn't hot spring water, so how could it be warm?

I just think they may have gotten used to it and can usually withstand the cold better.
