Chapter 22 Catch the eel

Hearing Chen Yang's voice, Cen Jiahua quickly put down the small bucket in her hand, took two steps, and came to Chen Yang's side.

"What did you discover?" In Cen Jiahua's impression, those that are worthy of Chen Yang's voice are generally good things.

"Well, a nest of eels looks quite a lot!" Chen Yang pointed to a hole under the aquatic plants on the bank of the stream with his hands.

"How did you see it? I don't think there is anything special about the entrance of this cave?" Cen Jiahua leaned over and took a look, but couldn't see one.

"Look, the entrance of the cave is very smooth, and there is still mucus left on the wall of the cave. This is left by the eels entering and exiting." Chen Yang squatted down, pushed the aquatic plants with one hand, pointed to the entrance of the cave and explained to Cen Jiahua.

"Oh, it turns out that there is such a trick. You have to teach me quickly, otherwise it will be not easy to find someone to help you when you go back to school." Cen Jiahua's mind was moving quickly, and he thought of coming to catch him in the future.

Cen Jiahua naturally understood these things. As the saying goes, "Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths." This is what it means. Where eels often enter and exit, they naturally leave their marks.

"Also, if there are moss, aquatic plants or mud residues on the entrance of the cave, it means that the cave has been abandoned, just like the one next to it." Chen Yang pointed to another cave entrance next to it and continued to teach Professor Cen Jiahua about how to identify whether there are eels in the cave.

After Chen Yang's careful introduction, Cen Jiahua finally knew how to tell where there were eels in the small holes on the shore.

In his heart, he thought that when he was bored, he could learn to catch eels and loaches, and it could be regarded as enjoying the fun he had never experienced in his childhood.

"Then how do we catch eels? Excavate? Don't bring tools?" Cen Jiahua looked around with some embarrassment, thinking about finding tools to dig the hole.

"Hehe" Seeing Cen Jiahua looking around constantly, Chen Yang almost laughed out loud. He waved his hand covered in soil in front of Cen Jiahua: "Stop looking for it, I'll show you how to easily catch eels without tools."

"Oh, there is such an excellent method? Try it and let me see!" When Cen Jiahua heard that there was a solution, she couldn't wait to see it.

"Brother Jiahua, you use your feet to step on the water into the hole, and I can catch them all." Chen Yang directed Cen Jiahua to step on the water while picking up the net bag he had just brought, but his eyes were constantly patrolling the nearby waters.

Although I didn't know the intention of Chen Yang to let him step on water into the cave, Cen Jiahua still chose to believe Chen Yang's words and started to act seriously as he spoke.

As Cen Jiahua continued to move, the turbid mud and water poured into the depths of the hole along the entrance of the hole.

At this time, Chen Yang discovered that something abnormal occurred about 1 meter away from the entrance of Cen Jiahua's water treading.

The originally clear stream began to appear with a trace of muddy water, and Chen Yang knew that the other entrance to the cave was there.

Generally speaking, there are two holes that are drilled by eels on the shore of the water. The distance between the two holes is not too large, and it is within a range of 1 or 2 meters.

Eels are animals that like to be clear and hate to be muddy, so the holes they choose will be in places with better water quality. Once muddy water appears, they will flee to places with clear water.

Chen Yang walked over and put the net in his hand at the entrance of the muddy water, waiting for the eel to fall into the trap.

As Cen Jiahua's feet continued to step on over there, muddy water kept pouring into the cave, and muddy water continued to emerge from the entrance of the cave where Chen Yang was waiting.

After a while, the eel family who were staying in the cave could not bear the annoying turbidity, so they rushed to drill out into the hole where the water came out.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang at the entrance of the cave had already arranged the net bag. The eels who were panickingly crashed into the net bag. The eels entering the net bag suddenly became panicked. They panicked in panic and tried desperately to get out of the net bag, but the mesh of this net bag is not much bigger than the incense head. Where can they get out of it?

Chen Yang, who had already prepared, saw that no eels came out of the cave entrance and knew that the family had already caught all the time, so he immediately picked up the net bag. There were seven or eight eels of different sizes struggling desperately in the net bag, but the net bag was a little deep, and they were really powerless to do anything about it when they were trapped at the bottom of the net.

These eels are as thick as popsicle ice, while those are small are as big as adults’ thumbs.

"Haha, not bad, these eels and that one are enough to have a plate of braised eel section tonight, and they should taste good!" Chen Yang happily shook at Cen Jiahua with his net bag.

Seeing that Chen Yang had dealt with several eels without any effort, Cen Jiahua was surprised and admired them very much. He washed the mud on his feet in the clear water, and then came up to look at the eels in the net bag.

These eels that struggled hard in the net bag were somewhat different from those that Cen Jiahua bought at home when he saw her mother. The backs of these wild eels were light black, spots on the sides, bright yellow on the abdomen, the heads and bodies were the same size, and they were thinner, which was very different from those chubby eels raised by artificially raised.

"Isn't it good? Now due to excessive fishing and pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, it is rare to find such a large wild eel. We will have a good time tonight." Chen Yang patted the net bag on his hand and said to Cen Jiahua.

"OK, if you serve a glass of frozen beer, you will probably just give it to a god." When Cen Jiahua's mouth was drooling in his mouth when he was sitting under the willow trees on the dam, whispering the cool breeze, tasting delicious fried snails and braised eels, and filling it with ice-filled beer, he couldn't help but drool in his mouth.

The eel has delicious meat and is rich in nutrition. Moreover, it is rich in lecithin, which can improve the user's memory and has always been a very popular fish.

In the following time, neither of them had the intention to pick up snails again. Anyway, they had already picked up most of the buckets, which was enough to eat them at night.

But the luck in the future was not so good. I searched for a long time and found a nest, but it was not as big as the one I had just now. However, Chen Yang and the others were also very satisfied. After all, they were not here to catch eels today, so it was a surprise to have so many gains.

Sitting on the stone by the stream, cleaning the mud on his hands and feet, the two of them led the harvest today to the house. Of course, the guy "Doudou" turned out of the grass without hello and followed him back with him dirty.
