Yellow eel, also known as eel, is generally about 20-70 cm long, snake-like, smooth, brown, tender and fresh meat, often a delicacy on the table of southerners. When I was a child, my family was poor. My second brother and I often went to catch (catch) yellow eels and sell them at the market to subsidize the family. Occasionally, if you catch less, it will be used for family sharing. Therefore, catching (catching) yellow eels is one of the most vivid and interesting childhood games in a lifetime of memory. Jiangnan is a rice and water town, every year in the summer, planting paddy field rice seedlings, our brothers will plan early and prepare relevant utensils. There are many ways to catch yellow eels, one of our commonly used ones is: every time after the evening, along the side of the rice stalk, light a torch (bright), once the yellow eel is found, it is sandwiched with a bamboo eel (made with two pieces of bamboo, one is saw-like, can be clipped yellow eel, and the other end uses a hand clip, which is a sharp tool). Brother in front, one hand holding a torch (homemade, dip some diesel at intervals), the other holding a bamboo spoon; brother (I) in the back, carrying a small oil drum, shoulder across the bamboo fish basket, along the field stem, wide-eyed, careful, little by little, slowly searching, searching... Once the yellow eel is found, the brothers are excited, gently move their shapes, be careful, quickly attack, clip it, the larger the encounter, the more difficult it is to catch, but they are particularly happy and surprised... Vivid and personally experienced childhood scenes and interesting facts, I will never forget!! Qu Aren: Alin Morning Awakening Slow Stroke 2021.10.12
