Chapter 7 Capturing the Red-Scaled Eel

…

"Uncle Six, these are the secrets of the family's rise, and everything is kept confidential." Wang Shouzhe temporarily gave up his plan to popularize lures with him, and said seriously.

"I understand. I will be extra careful when doing all this. When the time comes, I will ask the family to allocate two generals to me." Wang Dinghai was so excited that he trembled all over. "Besides, I have some ideas about moving the kite. You can use a cast net. Quickly modify and move the kite out, let's try the effect first. If possible..."

His eyes were shining, and he couldn't wait to experiment.

The area from Dingpu Ferry to Rock Beach is Wang's territory, and ordinary people do not and dare not approach the river bank. After all, the riverbanks are undeveloped and simply cleared, and there are all kinds of unintentional dangers.

Moreover, this section of the river is winding and has many remote and hidden places. After being inspired by Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dinghai, who is familiar with the fishing industry, has already come up with many plans and ideas.

After Wang Shouzhe agreed, Wang Dinghai took the boat all the way to a hidden small dock in the river section. Every small dock here is a secret little stronghold that can be used for a variety of purposes. The cunning rabbit has three caves, not to mention Wang. 's fishing fleet.

There are also hidden wooden huts built next to the small pier, which are places to take a rest to avoid wind and waves. Wang Dinghai placed Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui in this simple place, leaving Wang Goudan to serve them, and then left in a hurry.

"This is the first time I've seen Uncle Six so active." Gongsun Hui said with emotion, "It seems that the fishing ideas you provided, Zhe'er, will be very effective."

"It's all from ancient books. It can't be accurate without actual combat. I hope it will be useful to the family." Wang Shouzhe smiled lightly, and then said to Wang Goudan, "Goudan, can you grill fish?"

"Yes." Wang Goudan nodded smartly, "Home, Master, I'm going to grill the fish right now." After that, he ran out quickly.

When only Gongsun Hui and Wang Shouzhe were left, Gongsun Hui looked at Wang Shouzhe carefully until he felt a little hairy in his heart before sighing: "Zhe'er, you have changed, you have become free and easy and confident. In the past, when you shouldered heavy responsibilities, you only knew how to practice hard and didn't care about other things. If I hadn't watched you grow up, I would really doubt that you had been replaced. "

"Auntie is joking. In the past, with my father supporting me, I could naturally ignore everything." Wang Shouzhe said with a calm expression, "But now that my father has passed away, the family situation has become so bad. If I don't cheer up Wang Shouzhe, Where are you going? Madam, let's not talk about this for now. You have been tired all the way, so take a rest first and look forward to Uncle Six's surprise later."

Wang Shouzhe took control of the situation, took the initiative to end the topic, and took the lead to close his eyes and rest.

Half an hour later, Wang Goudan got back some golden grilled fish, which smelled delicious. Wang Shouzhe took out two large coins and threw them away: "I'll reward you with them outside."

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Wang Goudan ran out happily.

The grilled fish and Gongsun Hui were eaten separately. Although the cooking method of the dog eggs was average, they were sprinkled with a little coarse salt, but the ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and Wang Shouzhe was full of praise after eating them.

It was also the first time for Gongsun Hui to eat such rough food. After a few bites, his beautiful eyes flashed, and it seemed to suit the taste.

After finishing several pieces of grilled fish, Wang Dinghai's excited shout came from outside: "Shouzhe, fifth sister-in-law, come out and take a look."

Wang Shouzhe and the two went out after hearing the sound, and when they arrived at the small pier, they saw that Wang Dinghai had already set up a simple kite as planned. Good guy, that move made Wang Shouzhe's brows jump. The four poles were made of logs as thick as an arm, and the main pole was even thicker than his thigh.

This thing is just too heavy and heavy, probably weighing two to three hundred kilograms, and people on earth will definitely not be able to use it.

I saw Wang Dinghai standing on the wooden pier. He only used his waist and horse as one. He used a little force to pull the cable, and he easily pried the heavy kite out of the water.

Haha, I forgot that that guy is a Xuanwu practitioner at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. His strength is more than ten times greater than that of an ordinary earthling.

"Boom!"

A big fish was caught in the kite net. The big fish made a sudden splash in the water, but was blocked by the net. Before it could react in the second wave, it was pulled out of the water and lay in the middle of the net, letting anyone eat it. Slaughter. In addition, there are several small fish weighing one to two or three pounds lying quietly next to it.

"good!"

The surrounding fishermen all cheered excitedly and used simple fishing rods to grab the catch. Although it was a worthless red carp, it weighed six or seven kilograms and could be sold for dozens of cents. It also proved the effectiveness of moving the kite.

Later, under Wang Shouzhe's personal guidance, Wang Dinghai further improved the kite moving and installed inverted poles, counterweights and other items.

The principle is very simple, it is a seesaw on the earth. However, this seesaw is a triangle, and the two tops are connected with a cable. A suitable counterweight is placed at the other end of the seesaw. By gently applying pressure, the kite and net at the other end can be lifted out of the water in the form of a seesaw.

After this, another two hours passed, and it was already dark before everything was done, but everyone's enthusiasm was very high. It only takes half a stick of incense to raise the net once, and it's effortless.

Of course, it is impossible to avoid empty nets. However, it was already dark at this point, and many fish began to quietly approach the shore under the cover of night, looking for food along the shore. There was far more food on the shore than in the center of the river.

"Boom!" "Crack!"

After a few empty nets, there would always be a pop, a big fish or something. Occasionally there will be one net, two lines, three lines or something. This excited the fishermen and Wang Dinghai.

"Shou Zhe, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich." Wang Dinghai, who was holding a torch, reported ecstatically, "Just now, we set up thirty nets in an hour, ran out five, and caught nine big fish, and the small and medium-sized fish were all lost.

In just one hour, more than a hundred kilograms of fish were caught, with a total value of about ten large coppers. "

Such a terrible harvest made Wang Shouzhe a little confused. After all, this is the Xuanwu World, and its resources are much better than those on Earth. However, Wang Dinghai later said that it is now the peak fish season, and the night is the best time for fishing, so it is reasonable to get such a harvest.

"This thing is much more powerful than casting a net." Wang Dinghai said excitedly. "There are also a lot of fish caught by casting a net, but a fisherman with strong physical strength can cast at least a hundred nets in a day and he will lose his strength. But this kind of The new tools do not require much physical effort or technology, and can be arranged for two fishermen to work in turns around the clock, and it is relatively safe. After all, the river bank is much less dangerous than the center of the river."

"Yes, but you have also overlooked one advantage, which is replicability." Wang Shouzhe also said in a good mood, "Uncle Six, you can find some skilled craftsmen from the family tomorrow to carve this simple thing carefully, and then Let’s gradually roll it out and make more money during this year’s fish season.”

"The most important thing is to keep it secret." Gongsun Hui added from the side, "Sixth Uncle, you can't blindly expand your manpower. Try to find some reliable helpers from the side clansmen."

Everyone added one word at a time.

Suddenly!

"Boom" a huge sound of water explosion.

Wang Goudan roared over there: "Hai Ye, come on, come on."

The three of them looked at the kite together and saw a huge snake-like thing caught in the kite. Its explosive power was extremely fierce. Even if it was pressed down by two adult fishermen and the kite was lifted out of the water, it was already out of the water. Even though it was wet, it was still struggling wildly in the net bag, causing the entire stand to shake.

"It's a red-scaled eel!" Wang Dinghai looked ecstatic, but in the blink of an eye his expression suddenly changed, "No, it's going to break the net."

The red-scaled eel's sharp teeth were seen biting the mesh, and its body twisted and turned wildly. In an instant, it tore a large hole in the fishing net, and it twisted along the gap to squeeze out.

Without saying a word, Wang Dinghai jumped directly into the water and swam towards the fishing net at very fast speed. Just when the red-scaled eel was about to get out of trouble, he stretched out his big hand and pinched its neck. With his right hand, he pulled out the water-dividing thorn from his waist and plunged it into its head, stirring it from side to side.

But even so, the red-scaled eel still entangled him and stirred it desperately. It was obviously that its vitality was extremely strong. It took another full stick of incense before the thing was dying.

Wang Dinghai dragged it ashore and laid it on the simple pier. The thing was more than two feet long, thicker than the thigh at the beginning, and its whole body was covered with red scales.

"First-class aquatic ferocious beast, the red-scaled eel, Uncle Six, this should be an adult red-scaled eel. Does it have to weigh a hundred pounds?" Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui were also watching curiously.

"Hahaha, more than that, this one weighs at least one hundred and fifty kilograms and is worth at least thirty-fifty gold." Wang Dinghai sat on the ground and panted, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "If this vicious thing is allowed to fall, If it gets wet, your sixth uncle may not be able to handle it. But this red-scaled eel is full of treasures. Master, today is all thanks to you, hahaha~ I'll take it to Dingpu Ferry tomorrow to show off."
