When the group returned to the camp, Lu Xuan first found coarse gauze, thin iron bars and wooden sticks. Without the steel wire of later generations, it was impossible to make a circle net bag. We could only bend thinner iron bars to make a nearly square iron frame, then put gauze on the iron bars and knot the bottom to make a net bag.
Finally, the iron bars were tied to wooden sticks to make a simple net bag.
Lu Xuan made several in succession, including Cao Cao, Sun Shangxiang, Dian Wei and Xu Chu. In addition, he also prepared steel forks.
If there are fish in shallow water, you can catch them with a steel spear.
Xu Chu held a steel fork and said confidently: "Your Majesty, when I was in the family, I was an expert at fishing. I stood by the stream, aiming at the fish swimming over. I could throw the fork and hit the big fish. .”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "I'll wait and see. Let's go to the beach. It's still early and we won't encounter the trouble of high tide. Try to catch some crabs and lobsters. Now that we are close to the coast, it is really a waste not to eat from the sea. .”
He took the lead.
Cao Cao and Sun Shangxiang followed, as well as Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other personal guards.
The group of people, carrying net bags and iron forks, had just reached the entrance of the camp when Guo Jia happened to come out and wander around. After seeing this, Guo Jia bowed and saluted Lu Xuan and Cao Cao. With a curious look on his face, he asked, "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Lu Xuan replied: "Catch the sea goods."
"I will go too!"
Guo Jia suddenly became excited.
They are stationed here and there is no war for the time being, so Guo Jia cannot play the role of staff officer.
There is nothing to do all day long and it is very boring.
The most important thing is that there is very little alcohol in the army, and the wine he brought has been finished long ago. Moreover, people in the army are not allowed to drink alcohol at will, unlike at home where they can go to a brothel and listen to music to pass the time.
Lu Xuandao: "Let's go."
The group of people arrived at the beach, which is next to the beach area and has rocks nearby.
Lu Xuan took off his boots, took off his stockings, lifted up his trouser legs, and stepped into the sand and water. In his hand, he held a net bag. After Lu Xuan entered, Sun Shangxiang also followed, and Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others entered the water respectively.
Sun Shangxiang followed Lu Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, where should we find him?"
"Go to the area where the reef is first."
There was expectation in Lu Xuan's eyes.
To be honest, if you want to catch lobsters and abalone, it is better to find them on the slightly deeper seabed.
The offshore area where Lu Xuan is located has very shallow water, so there may be some, but the probability is relatively small. Lu Xuan was just thinking that the current ocean was completely undeveloped and extremely rich in resources.
This is the only advantage.
Sun Shangxiang nodded with expectant eyes. He followed Lu Xuan step by step. At this moment, Sun Shangxiang, although she had not caught any fish yet, the scene of catching fish made her feel particularly fresh.
She liked this so much.
Sun Shangxiang was not a quiet woman to begin with. She liked to be active rather than quiet. Staying at home all day made Sun Shangxiang very uncomfortable. When I followed Lu Xuan out for some fun, I felt relaxed and happy all over.
"Hey, the goods are here."
Suddenly, Lu Xuan's low voice came.
Sun Shangxiang followed and saw Lu Xuan approaching the edge of the reef. He saw an abalone lying quietly on the bottom of the crystal clear water.
"Sure enough, I haven't caught anything before. Good luck."
Lu Xuan was very excited.
The presence of abalone in this area means there will be more seafood. The quality of sea water today is countless times better than that of later generations, and the seafood resources in the offshore are also more abundant.
Lu Xuan took off the abalone and put it in the net bag specially used by the accompanying soldiers to carry seafood.
Sun Shangxiang looked at the abalone that was taken off, and asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty, what is this seafood just now? It looks weird."
Lu Xuan waved and ordered: "Come over here and I'll tell you."
Sun Shangxiang leaned forward, his eyes curious.
Lu Xuan lowered his voice and said: "This kind of food is called abalone. It is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang. It is helpful for men and promotes the harmony between men and women. Of course, the specific effect depends on eating it. I know. After we catch more and eat them, we will try the effect at night."
brush!
Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly turned red.
She quickly glanced around and saw the nearby guards standing far away. Xu Chu was looking around with a steel fork, as if looking for a big fish.
Sun Shangxiang whispered: "Your Majesty is not serious."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and continued walking forward with the net bag in hand. It must be said that the offshore resources are very rich. Lu Xuan walked all the way and caught three small fish. When he saw other abalones, he picked them all one by one.
When Lu Xuan walked forward step by step along the reef, the distance was a little deeper and the water was already above his knees.
Suddenly, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
He saw a large lobster lying quietly under the reef in front of him. The lobster is very large, roughly estimated to be thirty centimeters long, with a cylindrical shape. The whole body is covered by a dark red armor-like shell, and has two gorgeous and eye-catching tentacles.
It lay quietly on the bottom of the water, motionless.
This is the giant lobster from Japan.
Lu Xuan became excited instantly, raised his hand and pushed back, signaling Sun Shangxiang and others to be quiet and stop one by one. Lu Xuan's eyes were focused, and he slowly got off the net and fell asleep. The range of movement of his net bag is as small as possible to avoid any movement.
You have to be fast to catch lobsters. Once you miss them, it will be difficult to catch them again. Because the moment the lobster retreats, the speed will be very fast.
The moment Lu Xuan's net bag approached, he accelerated suddenly. As soon as Lu Xuan moved, the big lobster immediately noticed it and retreated quickly. Because Lu Xuan had predicted the lobster's retreat route, as soon as the net bag went up, he encountered the retreating lobster.
Lu Xuan picked it up in one go.
Wow! !
Water splashed everywhere, and water came out of Lu Xuan's net bag.
The thirty centimeter long lobster was constantly struggling and beating in the net bag.
Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with joy. In most cases, the lobster is about 25 centimeters long, which is relatively normal. The lobster that Lu Xuan picked up was a full 30 centimeters long. It was a very big lobster.
The tentacles of this lobster are extremely eye-catching, and when it struggles, it gives people a great visual impact.
After seeing it, Sun Shangxiang took two quick steps and came closer, with a horrified look on her face. She was filled with unknown fear and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this? This is a species that has never been seen before."
Not far away, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others also looked over.
Cao Cao said loudly: "Your Majesty, is that a kind of fish you caught? It feels quite weird."
Lu Xuan replied: "Father-in-law, this is today's main dish, called lobster. Pay attention when you catch it, and catch more of this lobster. It usually moves back, and looks for the way back in advance to get into the net. In addition, there are some abalones. , conches, etc. are all edible.”
Cao Cao and Guo Jia came over specifically, looked at it carefully, and wrote everything down. However, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were wondering, can they eat a lobster covered in shells? This thing has thorns, and if it hits your hand, it will have an impact on you.
But the fun of catching fish is still quite good.
Everyone followed Lu Xuan and continued to catch fish.
The arrest process took an hour and a half, and Lu Xuan, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others were all tired. In the end, no big fish were caught, only small fish as big as a palm. Lu Xuan caught three large lobsters, thirty-two abalones, a few oysters, conches, and two sea urchins.
Cao Cao also led his people to catch a big lobster.
Cao Cao was even more excited when he caught him.
It doesn't matter whether this thing is eaten or not, the fun of catching it is great. In addition, Cao Cao also picked up more than ten abalones.
Guo Jia directed the soldiers to catch one large lobster. According to Guo Jia, he should have caught three because two large lobsters ran away. In addition, Guo Jia also picked up a lot of abalone and conch.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn't catch any big fish. When they came, they were empty, and when they returned, they were empty. Both of them aimed to catch fish with steel spears, but failed to catch any fish.
Overall, the gains have been huge.
After finishing their work, the group looked at the full harvest and hurried back with the seafood in a happy mood.
