Chapter 133 The big fish takes the bait
But the two little ones around her were very disappointed. They had thought that their sister could catch a big fish and stew the fish for dinner.
Shen Yuanbao muttered even more dejectedly: "Sister, the fish you caught is not enough for me to eat one bite."
Shen Youyou said, it’s just the beginning, don’t be in a hurry!
Then he skillfully put the bait on the fish hook and continued to cast the rod.
Shen Luming's confidence was not very high at this time: "Sister, as long as you can catch a big fish today, it will be fine. Let our mother make fish soup for us. I don't expect much from fish."
Shen Youyou sighed and said, "Why do you look down on your sister so much? Just wait, I will definitely let you eat stewed fish today."
When casting the rod, Shen Youyou was thinking about making the fishing line fly as far as possible so that she could catch fish farther away.
So she deliberately stood up to cast the fishing line, but she didn't expect that just as she was about to sit down, before her butt touched the grass mound, the fishing line suddenly reacted.
Shen Youyou was delighted, and immediately stood up and quickly turned the crank.
Shen Luming and Shen Yuanbao, who were standing by, were also staring at the water nervously, not daring to breathe.
Seeing the fishing line being pulled back little by little, Shen Youyou felt more and more at ease, knowing that she had definitely caught a fish this time!
She could also clearly feel the heaviness at the other end of the fishing line, and the sound of the fish struggling desperately in the water, as if trying to break free from the hook and escape.
When she felt the time was right, Shen Youyou pulled it up suddenly, and a grass carp weighing about one kilogram was pulled out of the water.
"Wow! Sister is so awesome!" Shen Luming shouted excitedly.
Shen Yuanbao also said happily: "Sister, now we have fish soup to drink! Haha!"
Shen Youyou herself was also very happy, after all, the fish she caught before was so pitifully small.
Although this fish is not big, at least there is a harvest, which is much better than getting nothing.
And she really felt that the fish in ancient times were really great. They were not picky about food at all and were also quite stupid. Unlike when she went fishing in her previous life, those fish were smarter than monkeys.
After taking the fish off the hook and throwing it into a wooden barrel filled with water beside her, Shen Youyou put the fish bait on the rod again and cast the fish.
Shen Yuanbao had already run back to the cave where they lived to report the good news to everyone.
Shen Youyou could hear the excitement in his tone.
This is what happened to Shen Luming. As soon as the little guy entered the cave, he shouted, "Dad, Mom, my sister caught a fish. It's a big one."
Hearing this, Shen Youyou stared at the fishing line and glanced at the fish in the bucket that weighed more than a pound. She blushed a little.
At this time, Shen Zhiqiu's surprised voice came: "Did you really catch it? What fish?"
Shen Luming scratched his head: "I don't know what kind of fish it is."
Not long after, Shen Zhiqiu, Li Jingshu, Old Lady Hua, Daya and Erya, and many others came over to see the big fish.
Shen Youyou's face turned even redder at this moment, and Shen Zhiqiu even said, "Oh, it's such a big one!"
Li Jingshu quickly tried to smooth things over, fearing that this would dampen her daughter's enthusiasm: "This isn't a small fish. We've just started fishing, so we'll probably catch a big fish soon."
Old Lady Hua also slapped Shen Zhiqiu, disliking her for being so tactless: "Go away, this fish was caught by us, and you won't even be able to drink a single sip of fish soup when the time comes."
Actually, Shen Zhidong wanted to make a joke like his third brother just now, but he was not as quick-witted as his third brother, otherwise he would have been the one to get slapped by his mother. At this moment, he felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
Shen Zhiqiu quickly changed the subject: "Come to Luming, Dad will tell you, this fish is called grass carp, you see this fish has a small head, slightly triangular, and a relatively wide mouth.
Its back is covered with many dark spots, its belly is silvery white, and its caudal fin is broad and deeply forked, dark yellow in color, with a black edge.
Shen Luming nodded, indicating that he remembered it.
As for Shen Youyou, she is not a particularly pretentious person, so she doesn't care about her father's teasing.
But after catching this fish, she didn’t catch any fish for a long time. She was wondering if there were too many people standing here, making too much noise, and the fish were scared and dared not to bite the hook.
It is true that when the weather is cold, fish will not like to bite the hook.
After a while, Shen Youyou saw that there was still no movement, so she didn't wait any longer and just stood up to put away the fishing rod. When she saw the empty fish hook, she knew that it was unhooked.
But she certainly didn't notice the fishing line shaking, or maybe she was distracted when the others came over.
Without thinking too much, I continued to put on the bait and cast the hook.
This time, Shen Youyou didn't have to wait too long before she saw the fishing line shaking. What was caught was still a small fish the size of a palm, but it was not a grass carp, but a duck-billed fish the size of a palm.
This fish is only one or two fingers in size, about the same size as a stone dace, and has small whiskers on its mouth like a loach.
The eyes are very small and the body is almost transparent. The mouth of the fish is flat like a duck's beak, slender, with whiskers, and the lips look like they are painted with lipstick. The eyes are close to the mouth of the fish, very small, and the body is flat.
The next few casts also caught this kind of small fish. Shen Youyou even wondered if she had encountered a school of platypus.
Everyone had other things to do, so after watching for a while they all went back to work.
When Grandma Hua left, she said cheerfully, "My dear grandson, small fish are fine, we can eat them just as well. Catch more and we can make fish soup in the evening."
Look, the old lady didn’t even dare to say she wanted to eat stewed fish.
But Shen Zhiqiu did not leave. He watched his daughter hit one ball after another without saying a word, thinking that he had just hit his daughter hard.
He also took a straw stool and sat next to Shen Luming, making small talk: "Maybe there are no big fish in this water. It seems that your grass carp is really a big fish in this water."
Shen Youyou thought about it and felt that it was possible. After all, the fish here were not farmed and the big fish were all in one water area for people to catch.
The area of natural water in the wild is very large, especially the underground rivers, and the fish may be somewhere. Maybe this time it is this group of small fish that swam over.
This is the uncertainty of fishing in the wild. Generally, you cannot be sure whether you will catch a big fish or a small fish. Even in Shen Youyou's previous life, when she was preparing to fish for small fish, she might have caught a big fish. On the contrary, when fishing for big fish, there are also situations where small fish disturb the nest.
Moreover, it is not surprising to catch any kind of fish in the wild, including crucian carp, carp, catfish, grass carp, black carp, whitebait, and many other varieties.
Generally, you can catch small fish at any time, but catching big fish depends on your skills and luck.
At this moment, the fishing line began to shake again, and this time the shaking was very violent. Shen Youyou stood up suddenly: "Dad, this must be a big fish."
Shen Zhiqiu also quickly stood up and looked at the shaking of the fishing line, and confirmed that it was indeed a big fish.
On Shen Youyou's side, it was difficult for her to even turn the handle of the fishing line.
Shen Zhiqiu quickly took the fishing rod in his hand, hoping it was a big fish, and pulled it into the water for his daughter. The underground river was quite deep, and although the child could swim, he was not sure what was in the water.
