NOVEL WEB Chapter 11 Fishing
at dusk.
Zhou Shan moored the awning boat at the fishery wharf.
After selling his catch, he went to a shop selling fishing tools in the fish market.
In the shop, there are fishing nets, harpoons, fishing baskets, fishing rods, as well as various baits to attract fish, and even the medicinal wine needed to soak red-back saury for fishing is also sold.
Zhou Shan bought a fishing rod and a bottle of medicinal wine for soaking bait.
"Zhou Shan, are you planning to catch red-back saury?"
Seeing Zhou Shan buying medicinal wine, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old waiter in the shop was surprised.
This person's name is Jiang Cheng, and he also comes from Ancient Fishing Street.
However, compared to other people in Guyu Street, Jiang Cheng's family has a better life. His father is a good fisherman. He saved a lot of money over more than ten years and gave it to his eldest son, Jiang Cheng's brother. Jiang Ting went to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts.
Jiang Ting's Gengu talent is quite good. With the Qi transfer from the martial arts master, he could sense Qi and blood within a month.
The Jiang family also fully supported Jiang Ting's martial arts practice. Later, Jiang Ting joined the fishing gang. Although he did not become an official martial artist, he dared to fight in the fishing gang and was promoted to a minor boss.
Therefore, as the younger brother, Jiang Cheng also found an easy job in the fish market. Working in a shop selling fishing gear was much easier than Huang Yan's job.
"Try your luck." Zhou Shan smiled and said: "If you are lucky, you can really catch a red-backed swordfish, which can be worth several months of income."
"Yes, the value of the red-backed saury is comparable to silver." Jiang Cheng walked up to Zhou Shan and whispered: "If you can really catch the red-backed saury, don't sell it to the shop in the fish market. My brother has a way, and he will Much higher than the fish market.”
"How can the red-backed swordfish be so easy to catch?" Zhou Shan shook his head, and then said softly: "But if I am really lucky and catch it, I will come to you when the time comes."
Zhou Shan said this, of course, to the other party.
If you really catch a red-backed swordfish, you will definitely eat it yourself to strengthen your blood and strength.
If you sell it to a fish market shop, even if you sell it for ten taels of silver, after deducting miscellaneous expenses, you will get at most two taels. Even if Jiang Cheng's brother has a way, the most he can get is three taels.
Only after his strength improves will he consider selling the red-back saury he caught.
…
…
Yongchang three years, May 26th.
At dawn, after having breakfast, Zhou Shan went to Chaishi Butcher Shop to buy a pound of beef, soaked the beef in medicinal wine, and then went to the fishery pier and rowed the awning boat slowly away from the pier.
Arriving at a frequent fishing area, Zhou Shan released his mental power to look for traces of the red-back saury.
The distance Zhou Shan can detect with his mental power is about a hundred meters in diameter. After one mental check and if no red-backed swordfish is found, he will withdraw his mental power and check again after the awning boat has sailed a hundred meters away. Explore.
If he kept releasing his mental power, he could last up to two quarters of an hour.
Therefore, Zhou Shan cannot keep using his mental power to investigate all the time, otherwise his mental power will be exhausted soon.
Just like that, an hour passed.
"found it!"
Zhou Shan's mental power detected a red-backed swordfish at the bottom of the river.
Judging from the size of this red-backed saury, it weighs at least a pound.
Immediately, Zhou Shan took out the beef soaked in medicinal wine, cut out a thumb-sized piece and hung it on the fishhook.
Whoosh——
Accompanied by a gust of wind.
The fishing rod swung the fishing line to draw an afterimage, and the fishhook fell into the water with a 'pop' sound.
Next, it’s just a matter of waiting quietly for the red-back saury to take the bait.
At the same time, Zhou Shan also released his mental power and watched every move of the red-back saury in the river.
At this time, the red-back saury seemed to smell the smell of 'bait' and swam quickly towards the beef soaked in medicinal wine.
"coming!"
Seeing the red-backed saury swimming over, Zhou Shan's heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate.
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Took the bait!"
More than ten breaths later, Zhou Shan saw the red-backed saury bite the fish, and under mental investigation, he saw the red-backed saury really bite the hook, so he immediately picked up the fishing rod.
puff!
A blood-red fish followed the fishing line and broke out of the water, causing a circle of small splashes around it.
Zhou Shan controlled the fishing rod and let the fishing line swing in the direction of the black-topped boat.
boom--
Retracting the fishing line, the red-backed saury fell into an empty barrel.
The red-backed saury is very active and jumps around in the barrel, trying to escape. However, the barrel is very high and it is impossible for the red-backed saury to jump out of the barrel.
"It's caught."
Looking at the red-back saury in the barrel, Zhou Shan thought about how to eat it.
There are two ways to eat red-back saury.
The first is to eat it raw.
Red-backed saury is different from other fish.
If cooked, the nutrients of redback saury will be completely lost.
Another way to eat it is to use red-back saury as a medicinal material and combine it with other medicinal materials to make a medicinal diet, brew the medicinal soup, and then mainly drink the medicinal soup.
However, to make a medicinal soup, a special formula is required.
Zhoushan does not have the formula for this medicinal diet.
Therefore, for him, there is really nothing to think about but eating raw redback saury.
Soon.
After seeing that the red-backed saury was no longer jumping around, Zhou Shan put on his leather gloves, grabbed the red-backed saury from the barrel, then took out a knife and cut open the abdomen of the red-backed saury, took out the internal organs, and then scraped off the scales. Clean it up.
After cleaning the red-backed saury, Zhou Shan began to eat it raw.
The red-backed saury did not have the fishy smell he had imagined, but rather a sweet taste.
Soon, Zhou Shan finished eating all the red-backed saury.
Not long after.
Zhou Shan felt as if a ball of fiery warmth was rising in his stomach.
Immediately, he assumed the posture of the Turtle Breathing Technique and began to move the Qi and blood.
As the Qi and blood were being moved, the fiery warmth that rose in his stomach was immediately aroused, running along the meridians, and then quickly integrated into his limbs and Qi and blood.
The Qi and blood in his body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The Qi and blood are increasing so fast!"
Feeling the changes in the Qi and blood, Zhou Shan was excited and continued to move the Qi and blood.
Once, twice, three times, four times...
Zhou Shan performed the Turtle Breathing Technique, and the Qi and blood completed the cycle again and again in his body.
Before, he had reached the limit of moving Qi and blood in half an hour, and he was hungry and needed to eat to replenish nutrition. However, after eating the red-backed knife fish this time, an hour had passed, and the ball of hot air in his stomach had not been completely refined.
Another half an hour passed.
Zhou Shan completely absorbed and refined the red-backed knife fish.
In a flash, he opened the attribute panel.
