Chapter 231 229. Seven-star fish (Hell Alliance +5)

In the autumn rain, it was quite comfortable to stay at home, drinking wine and eating side dishes. Ao Muyang swallowed the edamame and became interested in gossip, and asked: "The scholar and the little female leopard have become?"

For nearly a month, Xiucai did not come back to work on his ship, so Ao Muyang really didn't know his current situation.

Ao Fugui nodded: "That's about it. I've seen this little leopard girl. She's very pretty. The conditions outside are very good. I guess it's hard for a scholar to be a beauty."

Ao Muyang shook his head. After he sucked a snail meat, he said: "I think scholars don't care much about the girl's appearance. They are not the same person as you. Let me tell you, don't choose appearance when looking for a wife. Good-looking skins are all the same, which is interesting. The soul is one in a million.”

Ao Fugui said: "I have to have a choice. I want to find an interesting soul, but I can't find one. The souls I found weigh about two hundred pounds. What do you think I should do?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "Take her out to sea. Life at sea can't support a fat person. No matter if she weighs 200 pounds or 300 pounds, she will have to weigh 100 pounds a year after going to sea."

"The skin on her face is thicker than my heels. What am I trying to do?" Ao Fugui sipped his wine and shook his head.

The heavy rain continued for two or three days until the end of mid-November, and then it subsided.

The arrival of this autumn rainstorm heralded the beginning of cold weather to rule Hongyang. Ao Muyang put on the jacket he just bought. In the days to come, he would have to think about how to keep out the cold rather than how to enjoy the coolness.

When the heavy rain stopped, Ao Muyang called Lu Zhizi, and then they went to clean up the fish basket together.

Compared with previous days, the water level of Ambergris Lake has risen a bit.

Standing by the lake, Ao Muyang felt that even after the heavy rain, there was still not much water in Ambergris Lake. Compared with when he left his hometown, the water level in the lake had dropped significantly.

Following the mark to find the fish basket placed by the lake, Ao Muyang got into the water and carefully lifted the fish basket up.

This is a laborious job. Before leaving the water, the lake water has buoyancy, so it is not heavy to lift the fish basket. However, from the moment it is lifted out of the water, the buoyancy drops sharply and the gravity doubles, so it is difficult to lift the fish basket.

The fish basket is made of bamboo strips. Do not use too much force, otherwise it will be easily broken by water.

Especially the bottom of the fish basket, although old man Ao Zhiman ingeniously reinforced it, it is still easy to break under the water pressure.

Lifting the fish basket, the lake water flows out from the gap, and something inside hits the walls of the fish basket. This is the fish caught.

When the water in the lake was clear, Ao Muyang lifted the fish basket ashore and poured out the contents with a wave of his hand. Suddenly, several fish appeared on the edge of the lake.

There are loaches, crucian carp and grass carp inside, as well as two strange fish that slightly resemble loaches.

The backs of these two strange fish are yellowish-brown with black stripes on them. Their heads are large and wide and flat, their mouths are short and blunt. When they open and close, you can see that the mouth is very large. Their nose tubes are also very thick and they can be stretched forward. beyond the upper lip.

They have large scales on their bodies, and there are pearly highlights between the scales, especially on the dorsal and anal fins, where there are more pearly highlights.

Seeing this kind of fish, Ao Muyang smiled. Seeing this, Lu Zhizi asked: "What kind of fish is this? I have been here for almost half a year and I have never seen this kind of fish."

Ao Muyang said: "This is the seven-star fish, whose scientific name is moon snakehead. It is a very ferocious and sturdy freshwater fish. It is not easy to catch them."

Seven-star fish is a wide-temperature fish with strong adaptability. It likes dark environments, digs holes, lives in caves and lives in groups. It usually lives in mountain streams. If it lives by a lake, it lives in coastal areas.

Although they live along the coast, it is not easy to catch them because their burrows are very hidden and they love to dig holes. They will dig a bunch of holes around their burrows, which can be called the underwater version of a cunning rabbit's three burrows.

In this way, the best chance to catch Seven Star Fish is to set up fish baskets in advance when the lake water rises, because they are burrowing and willing to live in fish baskets, especially if there is food in the fish baskets.

Seven-star fish is a good fish. He grabbed two fish and stuffed them into his net bag and introduced: "You know, fish meat contains relatively high protein and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The nutrients in seven-star fish are also higher than ordinary fish." Fish is better."

Lu Zhizi said: "Well, this looks delicious. It's a bit similar to eels, loaches and eels."

Seven-star fish are not only delicious, they also have medicinal value. This fish stew is given to people with wounds, especially those who have just had surgery, to drink it. It has a good effect on promoting wound healing.

Ao Muyang lifted the fish baskets one by one, and finally harvested more than a hundred fish and shrimps of various sizes, including fifteen or six seven-star fish, which was a lot.

These seven-star fish are not big in size. The largest one is only slightly longer than his hand and weighs half a catty at most. However, this is already a big fish among the wild seven-star fish. This kind of fish grows very slowly, so it is so nutritious.

Half of the fifteen or six seven-star fish had small heads. Ao Muyang threw them into the breeding pond in the small building. The bottom of the breeding pond was mud, and the seven-star fish could dig holes in it to survive.

He promised to share some with Ao Qianlai, so he picked two fat ones from the remaining seven-star fish, mixed them with some carp and crucian carp and sent them to him.

Before leaving, he put the bamboo basket down again. While the water level in the lake did not drop, this fishing method of digging holes to trap fish could be used a few more times.

He took the remaining fish back home. At noon, he made a pot of mountain grouper, yam and black date soup for Lu Zhizi. This is a very popular soup in the south. Ordinary people cannot drink it. It is specially provided for patients who have undergone surgery.

He first cut two seven-star fish, prepared yam, black dates and ginger, fried the fish slightly, then added water, put in yam, black dates and ginger slices, and finally seasoned with salt. No other things need to be added. This dish is ready.

It was cold in autumn. When the fish soup was cooked, he scooped a bowl for Lu Zhizi and said, "Come on, drink more fish soup to enhance your resistance."

Lu Zhizi's physical fitness is average. Not only does she have old stomach problems, but her immune system is also weak. When this heavy rain fell, although she did not get wet, she showed signs of a cold.

The fish soup of the seven-star fish is very delicious. Lu Zhizi sat at the door and sipped it mouthful by mouthful, with a satisfied face.

After the rain stopped and the weather improved, Ao Muyang began to prepare to drive the Big Dragon Head to the sea for the first time.

Just like the custom of putting up the beams when a new house is built, according to tradition, there are many customs for the first trip of a fishing boat, even more than building a house.

After all, for fishermen, a house is just a place to live, but a boat is their livelihood and life-saving tool. If there is a problem with the house, at most it will be uncomfortable to live in, but if there is a problem with the boat, it may be life-threatening.

In late November, Ao Muyang and Ao Daguo discussed the matters of the first trip of the Dalongtou two days in advance, and then in the morning of the next day, Ao Muyang stepped onto the dock in high spirits.
