Sand bucket in breeze hook trough 1

A few days ago, the swimmers of Zheng Da Swimming Group posted three pictures of shoveling sand, biting and fighting, which were very realistic and reminded me of my favorite play when I was a child. The record is as follows.

Say "sand" first. Sandman, fighting fish. I grew up in Raoping, Chaozhou as a child. I like to keep this thing and let it fight with each other. Rao Ping called this fish "Paibei" and pronounced it ba4 puy6. Chaozhou's pronunciation has eight tones and eight tones, which are flat and clear, and the word "North" in Chaozhou can't be found in Mandarin, so it can't be pronounced. Later, I went to work and live in Shantou, a big city in eastern Guangdong. I also played with fish in my spare time and "patted the quilt" and fed it (feeder, breeder, also Chaoshan dialect). Only then did I know that some people in big cities also play this kind of small fresh juggling, but the fish is not called "patting the quilt" but "sand yarn", which is pronounced sua 1? Ma 1, the word "Lian" can't be found in Chaozhou pronunciation dictionary, and it is pronounced with sound. Let's call it Shalian below. It only looks good when the country people call the city people.

Shasha is small and exquisite, about eight centimeters for adult males and no more than ten centimeters for adult males. The fish is slender and shiny, with a navy horizontal line in the middle, which is very masculine. Female fish are smaller, shorter and rounder than male fish. In the breeding season, the abdomen is more round and barrel-shaped, and the fish body is black and dull. I can't imagine why the male fish is fighting for this thing. It is really necessary to cultivate and improve the aesthetics of the animal kingdom. There is also a kind of bird fish, that is, sand fish larvae, which have not yet grown into fish and can only be used as training tools, pathetic trumpet style, which will be mentioned below.

Males are aggressive and skillful in tactics. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is the mating estrus of fish, and the males are jealous of each other, so they will definitely have a fight as soon as they meet. The strength of the sand pile depends on the waters where it grows. According to the experience of fish farmers, the strength can be divided into ten grades, namely: one pond, two wells, three ditches, four ridges, five ridges, six fields, seven streams, eight seas, nine ponds and ten toilets.

It can be seen that the sand pile has low requirements for the growth environment and strong vitality, and can adapt to any water area. There are sand piles in the ditch, sand piles in the stream and sand piles in the sea. Even in rural toilets, sand piles are found to grow and survive, but their combat effectiveness has been ranked at the bottom; Shashan in the West Sea is fat and bloated, but not good at fighting, ranking last; The sand dunes in Linggou are the most combative because of the narrow and sinister environment, fierce competition for survival and the law of the jungle. Therefore, human development must not be a frog at the bottom of a well. Only by stepping out of a narrow gully and heading for a vast ocean can there be greater living space.

That is beside the point. In my opinion, as long as men, whether adults or children, watch sand fights is a kind of enjoyment, and this kind of fish fights is very ornamental, so there is the saying that the southern Beidou cricket fights sand fights. At the scene of sand-beating, there is often a small pot in the middle, which becomes a fish corner field. The pot is very crowded and there is water all around. The scene is comparable to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, ha.

The strength of sand rafts also needs fishermen's training. Fish farmers buy sand rafts to go home, and the male fish must first be placed in the corner of the floor at home. The separator is that each casserole can only be stocked with one sand grate to cultivate its sense of territorial monopoly; Female fish, birds and fish are all cheap things, and they are kept in a pot casually.

Pottery pots separated by sand nets are a kind of pottery with rough shape, straight mouth and different sizes. It was originally used as a family kitchen, which can be used for cooking and making soup. Now the soup pots are all made of stainless steel or non-stick materials, so the casserole has disappeared without a trace.

Generally, seven-money pots and five-money pots were used to divide the sand, because at that time, only one casserole could be bought in the grocery store of the supply and marketing cooperative. The price of casserole is five cents RMB, and the price of casserole is seven cents RMB, so the townspeople distinguish the size according to its price. The diameter of the seven-coin pot is about 20 cm, and the five-coin pot is much smaller, about 12 cm. They are all yangkou, suitable for raising sand rafts and fighting fish. Yangkou allows sunshine to come in, which is convenient for watching the war.

After the sand is separated, cover the pot surface and put it in the corner. Usually don't move on the same day, let it rest. Generally, covers are made of wood or cardboard, not cermet. So it is easy to make noise, scare the fish and damage their fighting capacity, so cover the cardboard with wood and cover it gently.

When I got up the next morning, the first thing I did was walk to the corner and uncover the quilt. As soon as the seven-money casserole was opened, I knew at a glance how powerful the fish in this pot were. Generally, there is a layer of foam on the surface of the pot, and the fish are swaying actively in the water. Fishermen are ecstatic to see this silver light. If you open the lid and see that the water surface is flat and foam-free, the small fish are still in the corner of the bottom of the pot, and the fish belly is gray and oblique, it is mostly useless.

Followed by fish training. Fish farmers put birds and fish in the pot, gently stir them with fish chopsticks, and circle around the fighting fish, harassing the fighting fish and angering the fighting fish. Fish chopsticks are also very delicate. Generally, it is changed from bamboo chopsticks, the lower tip is cut into a thick shape, and some upper parts are engraved with patterns, which is easy to hold and can be manipulated flexibly.

The male sand gauze was harassed by birds and fish and soon became impatient. Its cheeks are bulging, its tail flag is open, its body is quite arched, its sharp head is like a cannonball, and its fish-eye glared at the enemy, threatening the harasser. At this time, the fish trainer couldn't stop, and continued to stir the birds and fish, constantly angering the male fish. The male fish was disturbed and poked birds and fish with his kiss, causing a splash.

At this point, you have finished, and the fish training has come to an end. Fighting fish has been effective, so we can't continue to train with birds and fish. Because of this, fighting fish can easily become a "bird control guest", that is, they only dare to bully the weak, and they will fade when they meet other fighting fish opponents. So remove the birds and fish and cover the pot. You can use fish chopsticks to train fish once or twice a day in the future. Generally, fish chopsticks enter the hole, and fighting fish will take this as an enemy. They open their cheeks and bite the fighting fish chopsticks. Sometimes, the fish trainer puts his middle finger into the hole, and the fierce fish is not afraid, so that the finger feels slight pain. In this way, the next step can be to find an opponent.
