495 Octopus Hook, Lake Feast

After reaming the hole, the wheel is attached to the bamboo stick born from the horizontal rod, and the wheel rotates with a slight flick.

Then the twine was taken, tied on a thread wheel, and wound for seventy or eighty meters.

The next step is to make hooks.

Pull an iron foot from the small compass, replace it with a bamboo stick, press the iron needle with your index finger, and polish it on the sand and gravel to sharpen it, and the diameter becomes smaller.

Then wrap it in mud and put it in the furnace for tempering.

It must be wrapped in mud, because the iron needle is too thin, and the iron needle must be avoided from contact with oxygen, otherwise it may be directly oxidized into rust powder, and it will be gone when rubbed.

After tempering, it is naturally cooled, the soil layer is scraped off, two layers of linen cloth are spread on the platform first, the machete is put on it, the big head of the iron needle is sandwiched between the machete and the knife, and then two layers of linen cloth are spread on the knife surface of the knife, and the big head of the iron needle is smashed flat with a wooden mallet.

Then find a hardwood with a seam, insert the flat end of the iron needle into it, take a wooden square and press the iron needle against the hardwood, and press the flat head and the needle body out of an angle.

After that, use a small grinding stone to grind off the excess part of the flat head, and polish the whole body smoothly.

Then start bending the needle in the opposite direction of the flat head to get a fishhook.

However, the hook is now iron, and when the fish struggles with the hook, it will straighten the hook, which is useless at all, and must be turned into steel.

Take the fine toner, mix a little thin mud and water, and Li Junge put the fish hook inside to hang the mud.

After the first layer of carbon mud was hung and dried, Li Junge hung the second layer of carbon mud outside and dried it again.

After hanging like this several times, the hook became like a thin black earthworm.

Li Junge began to hang pure mud again, and after a few times, the thin black earthworm turned into a thicker red earthworm.

Then it is fired and quenched.

This is actually the technique of the Song Dynasty mentioned in "Mengxi Bi Tan", and since then, the Chinese ancestors have known to use carburizing techniques to convert iron needles into steel needles.

It is mentioned in the book that after the iron needle is processed, it is buried in a toner basin with several material configurations, and then the basin is covered with wet mud, and a few iron needles are inserted outside, and after drying, the fire is roasted, and when the needle body outside is oxidized into powder, the iron needle inside will become a carburizing steel needle.

Li Junge scraped off the outer layer of soil on the hook, and a steel hook was presented in the palm of his hand.

In addition to being hard, the hook also has a certain elasticity, because the iron core in the center of the hook has not been completely penetrated, so it maintains a certain elasticity.

This is more suitable, and the techniques of the ancients thousands of years ago are really wonderful.

Thinking of the fruity and delicious fish in the small lake, Li Junge's saliva was about to fall.

This fish has similar habits to military fish, and likes to chase down small insects that fall on the surface of the lake, Li Junge has seen it several times when he was carrying water by the lake, and he has been thinking about it for a long time.

Tie the hook to the line of the fish, with the line facing the hook side, so that the handle of the hook does not break the twine.

Then I found a few chicken feathers, took the part with down and feathers at the bottom and scraped some of them, and the thin thread was wound around the hook handle to make a chicken feather bait.

At this time, Ayin got up, Li Junge hid the fishing rod behind his back, picked up the flat bucket with one hand, and said to Ayin: "Ayin, I'll go fetch water and cassava, you can see what we need to run the mountain in the afternoon, dry food kettle, salt, pots, bowls and spoons, we should go camping and play!"

Ayin snorted and laughed: "If you want to go fishing, go there, what excuse do you find!" You have worked hard for so long, it is rare that the weather is sunny after the rain, it is a good weather for fishing, just relax!"

Li Junge was dumbfounded: "How do you know that I want to fish?"

Ayin said: "I've watched you several times when you're tinkling outside, and you're too focused to notice." ”

Li Junge smirked, took down the fish basket and the net that had been woven from the wall, and said: "The fruity fish in the lake tastes so good, try to open a new net! If we can get one today, we will eat steamed fish at night!"

Coming to the water's edge, Li Junge began to observe the terrain.

After seeing a few places, it was not suitable, so I still went to the water inlet.

There is running water at the inlet, which can be a combination of bait fishing and beach fishing.

Coming to the water inlet, connecting the net, Li Junge took out a reed pole that had been cut in half longitudinally from his pocket, wet it in the water, first released a one-and-a-half-meter line, stuck the reed pole on the line, and then released the line along the stream.

Control the plate with your right hand, draw the thread with your left hand, and gently release it.

The current pushes the feather hook and the reed, both of which drift farther and farther away on the water.

Drifting out for more than ten meters, Li Junge's right hand was stuck in the reel, and his left hand began to gently twitch the fishing line, and the chicken feather hooks in the distance were one after another, like flying insects falling on the water, struggling there.

After teasing a few times, Li Junge retracted the line a few times, and continued to ** gently.

Suddenly, a splash exploded on the water, and the feather hook disappeared from the water.

Li Junge's right hand pole was raised, and his left hand retracted to pull the line, the line was straightened all of a sudden, and the reed rod stuck on it bounced off first, and then the rod bent out of a small arc.

Caught in the fish!

There are no barbs on the hook, and at this time it is a test of technique, Li Junge's left hand is stretched out behind him, and he loosens the line little by little as the fish swims out, so that his left arm slowly returns to his body.

After waiting for the line on his left hand to finish, Li Junge let go, controlled the gossip wheel with his left hand, and controlled the pole with his right hand to retract the line.

Ayin's twine is very good, and Li Junge estimates that there is no problem against twenty catties of fish.

The point is that your own hook may not be able to withstand it.

This fish should not be big, Li Junge controlled it very easily, and took the line back in a few clicks.

Unsurprisingly, it's the kind of fruity fish that likes to attack insects on the surface of the water.

The net is imitated by Uncle Carpenter, which is much easier to use than the bamboo copy when playing with the fish card, and the fish can be easily captured.

This fish has more than a catty, Li Junge put the fish into the fish basket and raised it in the water, and he couldn't be happy: "The guaranteed goods for Ayin will arrive so quickly!"

Carefully inspected the hook, bait and twine, this hook was not easy to come by, it took a lot of effort, and if it was taken away by the fish, it would cry blind.

After confirming that there was no problem, Li Junge continued to fish.

After the rain, the surface of the lake is the time when all kinds of insects are active, and many insects will be misled by the reflection of the lake surface, thinking that it is the sky, so they are planted in the water, so this is also the time when various fish are active on the water surface.

Li Junge's bait was mixed up inside, and after a while, he deceived two fruity fish.

However, the last one was not so lucky, and Li Junge knew that this fish was not small after the fish raised the rod.

Not only is it not small, but the strength is also great, and when it sprints out, the gossip wheel is whirring, and it makes a loud noise in the palm of the hand.

I didn't dare to push too hard, mainly because I was afraid that the hook would not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the reeds are far away in this position, and there is no risk of entanglement and hanging to the bottom, so you can slowly slip away in fear.

Finally received the line closer, and now Li Junge saw it clearly: "I'll just say something that's doing trouble! Damn Dan is a big dace! Fruity fish is not so big!"

The dace didn't give any face, turned around and rushed towards the middle of the lake.

The strength of this fish is not ordinary, Li Junge estimates that this fish has more than three catties, but the vigor is more than seven or eight catties of big carp in the impression.

Fortunately, seven or eight catties of carp is not a problem for Li Junge, and after three or five times, the big dace finally gave up the struggle and was copied by Li Junge.

There are already four fish in the fish basket, adding up to eight catties, and four people can't eat them all, Li Junge thought about it and put two small fruity fish with a pound of hanging edges.

It was almost dark, so Li Junge took the fish to the well, went to the reed pond to smoke a handful of pu vegetables, and took a handful of cress at the water's edge.

Take care of the fish directly by the water, throw the basket at the well, and carry the water home.

Ayin was cleaning the dam when he looked up and saw the two fish in Li Junge's hand: "Ah!

Li Junge was triumphant: "It's so easy to fish, it's almost like an intensive pond, and there are two of them." I'll cook tonight's meal!"

After stacking the fruity fish into good taste, Li Junge began to clean up the dace.

This product Li Junge saw it last time, the meat is hard, there are many thorns, and the general Li Jiagou method is not delicious.

But this is not difficult for Li Junge, now the guy is more complete than Li Jiagou, and there is a mallet, so scrape the meat to make fish balls.

When the dace meat is removed, the stubble of the fish bones sticks out of the flesh with a few strokes of the mallet.

Remove the bones, scrape the flesh off with a knife along the skin, and use a mallet to form a minced fish.

Then add oil and ginger paste and water, add some papaya powder, and make the sizing crazily.

The pulp is very thin, and it has to be shaped in hot water with the help of a spoon.

After boiling the fish balls, taking them out and putting them in the basket, Li Junge cut the pu cabbage into sections, strained out all the bamboo rat soup and burned it.

Spread the fish balls to the bottom of a clay pot, boil the broth, add the cabbage, add salt to taste, and pour them into the clay pot where the fish balls are held.

Then cut the fruity fish into two sections, steam them on two plates, stir-fry the cress, and serve them to the table.

The big and small mustaches are laughing so hard that the camera is almost unstable, and it's a new dish!

The fish was steamed, separated from the two tables, and the big and small beards now don't need pottery bowls, Li Junge polished the coconut shell clean, nailed a bamboo silk circle with twine at the bottom, and also made two bowls for them in lacquerware mode.

After dividing the fish ball soup into one-third, Li Junge came back and said to Ayin: "Don't worry about them, they have instant noodles, just take a look, let's eat more ourselves." ”

Ah Yin picked up a ball, but he didn't expect the fish ball to be slippery, and it fell into the lacquer bowl at once, and then bounced up.

Li Junge is now a person who reacts quickly, and he stretched out his hand to take it.

Ah Yin said "ah", and then laughed miserably: "Is this a ball or a table tennis ball?"

Li Junge stuffed the balls into his mouth and put a bowl for Ah Yin again: "That's also a delicious table tennis ball!"

Ah Yin was careful this time, and put the fish balls in the corner of his mouth: "It's Q bomb and fragrant, and you won't get tired of eating more! It's completely different from Li Jiagou's meatballs." Where did you learn this?!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is the practice in the south, there is no soy sauce and no watercress here, and you can't cook the boiled meat slices back to the pot, but fortunately, the ingredients are delicious, and it is a fresh word in the original taste!"

Ah Yin noticed the tabletop: "Ah, it's all things from the lake, tonight is a lake feast!"

Li Junge touched his chin with his hand: "Yes, speaking of lake freshness, it seems that I haven't fished shrimp yet......
