Chapter 292
For those who love fishing, they feel uncomfortable if they don't go fishing for a day. However, in my country, most people say that fishing is a sport that cultivates the body and mind.
It can train people’s patience.
[Of course, sometimes it can be quite atmospheric, like the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan, who wrote about an old man in a straw hat and raincoat fishing alone in a boat on a snowy river.]
[But what you may not know is that fishing is sometimes also an extreme sport.]
The people outside the sky were a little confused. What was this? When did fishing become a sport? However, when they saw the big fish displayed on the sky.
I think what he said is absolutely correct. To catch such a big fish, you really have to work very hard.
"I think this fish can swallow a child. Look at its teeth, they're so scary." A villager pointed at the sky and said, "And I think a fish this big must be terrible to eat. I'd definitely not be able to chew the meat."
"How is that possible? Just stew it hard. There's no fish that can't be stewed."
Today I'd like to introduce you to Jed, a biologist and seasoned angler who specializes in fishing for large fish all over the world.
[Everyone knows that these large fish are man-eating, and if they eat a lot of people, they might even increase their value and become a sacrificial offering in some places.]
Today, Jed heard that a man-eating fish had appeared in the Amazon rainforest, so he packed his gear and planned to catch it.
Daqin
Qin Shi Huang was astonished when he saw the environment in the Amazon. It felt not much different from the Qin Dynasty, where some people even paddled canoes.
"Your Majesty, didn't the Sky Curtain say that it's in faraway America? How can it possibly compare to ours? After all, we've been developing for a longer time."
"But there's a big difference. What's with the one with feathers on his head?" Qin Shihuang was a little surprised. His ancestors didn't dress like this.
"The world's development in later generations will also be unbalanced."
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin particularly agreed with what Tianmu said. They were really capable of doing such a thing, and there would definitely be people who took advantage of this opportunity to oppress the people.
Even in the future, if things go wrong, there might even be a situation where young boys and girls are used for sacrifice.
We must make great efforts to rectify the situation.
"Cheng Yaojin, I have a mission for you!" Li Shimin slammed the table. "You will lead your men to patrol the territory of the Tang Dynasty and destroy these obscene cults. I permit you to bring gunpowder with you. If you find any giant creatures like this, destroy them directly."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
……
Jed prepared special bait, a rusty hook, and a special float. He waited from morning to afternoon until a fish finally took the bait.
After much effort, Jed finally caught the fish, realizing it wasn't what he was looking for, so he let it go.
Everyone outside the sky sighed. Why would they let go of such a big fish? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for themselves?
"The marquee says it's a catfish, so it must taste bad, otherwise why would they release it?"
"No, I think this foreigner's cooking skills must be poor. When the anchor took the recipe, there was a dish of catfish stewed with eggplant. It must taste good."
"I think it might be because they don't lack fish to eat."
Jed didn't catch anything that day. He thought it was because the area was too close to human habitation and the local fishermen had driven the fish away. So the next day he tried a less populated tributary.
[He heard a story here about a fisherman's cousin and his friend who went out fishing in a boat, and their net got caught on a rock at the bottom of the river.]
His friend went underwater to clean up, but he didn't come up for over an hour. He finally came up when it was almost dark.
【However, only one leg came up.】
[Jed didn't particularly believe the news, but decided to go fishing nearby anyway.]
Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin's mind was full of question marks. Are you sure these two people are friends? They are not mortal enemies. If they don't come up after being in the water for five minutes, he will have to ask for help.
Why wait until dark?
He really overestimated his friend's ability to swim.
[Jed, who cast his hook here, caught a catfish relative, but that wasn't his target. He judged from the previous story that this target was a whisker catfish.]
After consulting other experts, he finally found a spot where he could catch catfish. This time, he hooked the fish smoothly, and by noon, he had caught the target.
Jed held the large fish to show everyone, but he also said that a catfish this size could easily eat a child, but if it wanted to swallow an adult, it would have to be twice as big.
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. He started his business in the south and rarely heard of such a big fish. It might be related to other conditions.
"Arrange for people to go to Yunnan and Sichuan. There may be tigers, leopards, wolves, and other animals hiding in the deep mountains and old forests there. Help the people kill these man-eating beasts."
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong's eyes lit up. He had gone to Mulan for autumn hunting and had killed wild beasts like bears and wild boars, but he had never killed such a big fish.
"Heshen, find a way to get a big fish and have the painters in the palace paint it carefully. I am not only good at writing, but also very strong in martial arts."
Heshen, who was called, thought that the emperor was dreaming again. How could there be such a big fish in the capital? Could it be that the emperor wanted to leave the palace and go somewhere else?
But where can he get this kind of fish? He is not Jed who can catch it.
"Your Majesty, this fish is truly too dangerous. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
"Hmph, you should do it quickly. If Qin Shi Huang could shoot a big fish, why can't I? If you can't do it, we'll have to settle the accounts."
……
Qi Cheng had seen this kind of video before. Although this foreigner was not as famous as De Ye, he was indeed very good at catching such big fish.
However, there are many people in China who fish for big fish, but they are generally ordinary fish. There should not be such fish in our country that can eat people.
Even if there are some carnivorous fish in some waters, most of them are caused by some people irresponsibly abandoning them.
Qi Cheng himself had also seen this kind of large fish, but it was not caught by fishing, but caught with a fishing net. They have that kind of estuary here.
There live some two-water fish.
When the tide rises, these fish will swim into the freshwater rivers. That's when we catch them. We caught a lot of them in one net.
There is one that weighs more than 50 kilograms.
There is also one that weighs more than 20 kilograms.
For more than a month, Qi Cheng's family stewed fish.
