Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 46 Harvest
At this moment, the big carp had already swam to the vicinity of Chen Mu's fishing boat, but at this time it dived relatively deep, almost sinking at the bottom of the river. Chen Mu's eyes were fixed on the big carp at the bottom of the water, and he held the net in his hand and waited for an opportunity. , as soon as the big carp floats up, throw the net to catch them immediately.

When Zhao Ergou saw it, he looked at Chen Mu very puzzled, and couldn't help asking again;

"Brother Mu, are there really fish in this water?"

"Probably." Chen Mu didn't say anything dead, "Based on my experience, there should be big fish here."

After hearing this, Zhao Ergou looked suspicious, with a suspicious expression of "how could it be possible" on his face.

At this moment, the big carp suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the deep water. Chen Mu seized the opportunity, shook his hand violently, threw the net with his hand and spread it into a big cover, covering the big carp that floated up.

Facing the sudden fishing net, the big carp had no time to dodge, and was instantly surrounded by the fishing net. As the pendant at the bottom of the fishing net quickly sank and tightened, the opening of the net became smaller and smaller, and quickly entangled the big carp firmly.

Seeing this, Chen Mu pulled the net with all his strength, and after a while, a huge carp was dragged out of the water.

Chen Mu tried again, and carried the throwing net to the boat.

Seeing this, Zhao Ergou was stunned, and looked at the big carp that was caught, and cried out in surprise;
"Damn, there are really fish, such a big fish, Brother Mu, you are too awesome."

Chen Mu smiled and pretended to be surprised; "Haha, I didn't expect to catch a big fish either, probably because of my luck."

Zhao Ergou worshiped; "Even if you are lucky, it is amazing. Not everyone has this kind of luck. I think this carp must weigh about forty catties. Brother Mu, you are rich."

Chen Mu smiled wryly. He didn't know what to say at this time. He couldn't say that he had been coveting this big carp for a long time, otherwise the other party might treat him as a monster.

There was a large plastic tank in the cabin. Chen Mu squatted down to unload the fish. The fish was really too heavy. He had to use both hands to lift the big carp into the tank. He followed him on the side of the boat and stretched out his hand to scoop the carp. Scooped some river water and poured it into the tank to prevent the big carp from dying.

Zhao Ergou instantly admired Chen Mu for his rare skill of catching big carp with one net. He was able to catch super-large carp in the deep water of the river by throwing the net with his hands. For decades, no one in Longdong Village has been able to do that. Such a feat.

Chen Mu saw Zhao Ergou's admiration for him, and saw that his boat had no fish, so he planned to take him to catch a few nets to try his luck.

"Gouzi, why don't we go for a stroll in the upstream waters again." Chen Mu said, "If we're lucky, we may not be able to catch some fish."

Zhao Ergou was very excited when he heard this; "Okay, I will listen to Brother Mu."

Zhao Ergou turned the bow of the boat to give the fishing boat full power, and the two of them drove the boat upstream.

After walking for a while, Chen Mu saw a school of fish appearing not far ahead, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a school of mandarin fish.

The price of wild mandarin fish is not cheap. Generally speaking, wild mandarin fish can be sold for about 100 yuan per catty.But now in the Qingshui River, there are not many mandarin fish, let alone a large number of fish schools, which made Chen Mu a little overjoyed.

Chen Mu reckoned that the number of mandarin fish in that group should be around one hundred, and he immediately became interested.

Immediately summon the little golden dragon in the water, let it swim towards the school of mandarin fish, and try to let the little golden dragon attract the fish.

The little golden dragon in the water got the instructions and quickly swam up to the group of mandarin fishes upstream.Seeing the golden light from the little golden dragon, the school of mandarin fish was quickly attracted, and they began to wrap around the little golden dragon. With a flick of the little golden dragon's tail, the school of mandarin fishes slowly moved towards this side.

Seeing the school of fish slowly approaching the fishing boat, Chen Mu said to Zhao Ergou;
"Gouzi, prepare the fishing nets, we may have encountered a school of fish."

Zhao Ergou was a little confused when he heard this; "Brother Mu, is there really a school of fish around here?"

"Listen to me, that's right." Chen Mu said, "When I tell you to cast a net, you cast it. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Mu."

Zhao Ergou nodded, and immediately took out a pair of large-scale hand-throwing nets from the cabin. He wrapped the fishing nets around his arms and was ready to throw the nets at any time.

At this time, the two boats were running against the current at the same speed, and there was a distance of five or six meters between them. Chen Mu used his thoughts to give orders to the little golden dragon to lead the fish to the waters between the two boats.

As the fishing boat slowly moved forward, the upstream fish were also slowly moving closer.

One minute later, a school of fish resolutely appeared in the water between the two boats. Chen Mu saw the timing and shouted;
"Throw the net!"

Almost at the same time, the two hand-throwing nets fell into the river at the same time, hitting the position of the fish.

"Yes, Gouzi quickly pull the net."

Chen Mu shouted, while quickly pulling in the nets, as the nets were slowly pulled out of the water, both nets were entangled with heavy fish.

The richness of the harvest is pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Mu, we have encountered a school of mandarin fish." Zhao Ergou shouted excitedly.

After a lot of effort, the two finally dragged the fishing net to the boat, and Zhao Ergou's innocent face immediately burst into joy.

"Get rich, get rich, Brother Mu, I really belong to you."

Because Zhao Ergou's fishing net is relatively large, he caught more fish than Chen Mu, about thirty, which made him very happy.

Moreover, the wild mandarin fish caught are quite big, the big ones can weigh three to five catties, and the small ones can weigh nearly a catty.

Zhao Ergou's net of fish alone would have cost him at least several thousand dollars.

Chen Mu's fishing net was relatively small, and he caught more than a dozen mandarin fishes. As for the ones he didn't catch, they all scattered and fled.

He took out the fish from the fishing net and put them all into the cabin, Zhao Ergou admired;

"Brother Mu, how do you know there are schools of fish here?"

Chen Mu lit a cigarette, threw another one to Zhao Ergou, pretending to be confused;

"I also played the net based on my experience. I didn't expect that we would actually run into it."

Zhao Ergou said, "Brother Mu, I have a lot of fish in this net, why don't we change it, after all, I wouldn't be able to catch so many fish without you."

"No need." Chen Mu said, "You catch a lot of fish because your net is big. I have to buy a big net next time."

"Hey, yes too."

Zhao Ergou scratched his head and laughed naively.

Chen Mu looked at the time and realized that he had been out for three hours. Thinking that Chen Xiaoyu was still at home alone, he was not worried about that brat, so he planned to go back.

"Gouzi, my daughter is still waiting at home, so I will go back first." Chen Mu said.

"That's fine, Brother Mu, you go back first, and I'll throw it a few more nets."

Chen Mu spit out the cigarette butt, turned the bow of the boat, increased the horsepower along the current, and drove the fishing boat back to the inlet downstream.

Carrying a large bucket of fish back home, when passing through the paddy field area, it was also a coincidence that Chen Mu ran into Wu Dayi who came out of his home again.

Wu Dayi was carrying a plow on his shoulders, and when he saw Chen Mu approaching with a large bucket of fish, his eyes immediately froze.

"Shepherd boy, where did you get these fish,,, there are such big carp?"

Wu Dayi cursed when he saw the big carp, his mouth was wide open, and the pipe in his mouth almost fell to the ground.

Chen Mudao: "Thanks to the village chief's fishing boat, I caught these from the river."

When Wu Dayi heard this, his eyes turned red immediately, and he cursed;
"Hey, Cao Taliang, why didn't I have such luck before, I shouldn't have sold the fishing boat to you."
