Chapter 121: Winter Hunting

Coming to the Blackwater River, the snow on the river surface has been cleared, revealing a thick layer of ice underneath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Winter fishing is a hunting activity organized by people living in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia in order to make up for the lack of food in winter.

In later generations, winter fishing became a tourist attraction.

The widest part of the Heishui River is more than 150 meters, and of course there is a narrow area of 20 or 30 meters wide.

The widest water surface is chosen for winter fishing.

The first step of winter fishing is to find the fish nest, that is, to determine the location of the ice hole, this is a technical job, only experienced fish can accurately find the fish nest.

Standing on the ice, Zhang Wolf blinked.

The fish at the bottom of the river swam around, clearly reflected in Zhang Wolf's mind, and even the emotions of the fish could be clearly felt.

It must be admitted that this is also a skill brought by the land god, as an immortal, even the lowest level of the immortal, also has divine sense.

The head of the fish is the Grange's, and the location of the Grange is at the bay of the Heishui River, and there is an immortal lake connected to the Heishui River, which has been fishing for generations.

When Zhang Wolf and the others arrived, the head of the fish chief, Tian Ji'an, had already found out the fish nest and booked the location of the ice cave.

Ice caves are generally 10 to 15 meters each, and the number of ice caves is determined according to the size of the fishing nets, and the largest fishing nets need to be carved out of more than 500 ice caves.

Except for the ice holes at the entrance and exit of the net, which are larger, the others are small holes of twenty or thirty centimeters, which are used to control the direction of the rod.

Of course, that was in later generations, and there are only seventy or eighty ice caves dug now, after all, the most primitive method of pulling the net is used.

The net is trawled with a ploughing ox or a mule-drawn winch, and the net cannot be pulled even if it is too large.

Zhang Wolf stood on the ice and quietly checked the location of the ice cave.

I have to admire the command of the working people, and the location of the ice cave chosen by Tian Ji'an just wrapped a school of fish in.

This is a large school of fish, and fish that are one foot or two feet long abound, and many large fish over three feet long have been found.

"Brother Ji'an, let's also come to help and see what we can do!"

"The wolf cub is here! You guys watch first, and then help pull the net!" Tian Ji'an, who was in his fifties, smoked a cigarette bag and pot, and greeted Zhang Wolf with a smile.

Well, they'll be able to do that, and they'll be able to do the same job as the cattle on the shore that are grazing on the grass.

However, Secretary Zhou and Director Tong were unwilling to look at it, "Brother Tian, let's also help dig the ice cave! We have done this work before!"

"Secretary Zhou, how can this be so troublesome to you!" Tian Ji'an put down the cigarette bag and pot and said a little crampedly.

"It's okay, we just came here to reminisce about the past time, in the early years, in order to stutter, there was no shortage of ice nests!" Secretary Zhou said with a smile.

Zhang Wolf quipped beside him: "Yo! Old squad leader, you have done this job!"

Secretary Zhou recalled the past, and his interest was very high, "What's wrong with this job? Wolf cub, let me tell you, my ability to find fish is no worse than that of a fish! I think if I hadn't joined the army back then, maybe I would have dried my fish!"

Director Tong said with a smile: "Haha! You don't know the wolf cub, when we crossed the Yalu River and fought Lao Mei, there was food in the team, and the old squad leader took us to dig ice nests to catch fish as food. I also got a third-class merit for this old squad leader!"

"Hmph, hooligan!" a voice next to him interrupted the conversation between Zhang Wolf and Director Tong.

Tang Yuan, the women's director, was also watching the winter fishing, and when she saw Zhang Wolf, she stared at her round eyes and said angrily.

She still remembers Zhang Wolf's decision to let her give gynecological lectures to village women and fool her into giving lessons to children.

"I said Comrade Tang Yuan, why am I a hooligan? You are framing the leader! Also, what are you doing here if you don't teach at this point!" Zhang Wolf glared at Tang Yuan, put on the stand of the village director, and reprimanded.

"You want to take care of it! You just say it's a big hooligan!" Stinky hooligan!" Don't say that Tang Yuan looks really good when he is angry, he pouted his round little mouth and said in a coquettish voice: "Can I bring some fish for the students to eat?"

The round face, which was already a little baby fat, was angry, like a ripe peach, and the red flutter was particularly attractive.

Maybe it's because the two of them are born with incompatibility, since Tang Yuan came to Xilong Villa, he has made some trouble for Zhang Wolf every once in a while, and now it's even better, as long as he sees Zhang Wolf, the first thing he says is a hooligan, a big hooligan.

Zhang Wolf is not good at being serious with a girl, so he usually has to avoid her.

Zhang Wolf is fighting with Tang Yuan, Secretary Zhou and Director Tong have already devoted themselves to the work of digging ice caves.

Zhang Wolf also ran over, took a handful of ice rakes, and chiseled ice.

Children in the rural areas of Northeast China have the experience of digging ice nests to fish, although they will not see fish nests, but in this era, there are groups of fish in the Northeast River, scooping fish is not nonsense, as long as an ice hole is chiseled, there are fish coming out.

Zhang Wolf played with the ice stirrup and was still very skilled.

There is a lot of strength in people, and in an hour, more than 100 ice caves will be dug up.

Under the action of atmospheric pressure, large fish of about two feet escaped from the ice cave and jumped on the ice a few times, frozen and stiff.

Secretary Zhou stood up, pounded his waist and said with a smile: "It's really old, I used to dig ten or eight ice caves in one breath and didn't feel tired, but now I can't do it, so I just chiseled one, and I can't stand this waist." ”

Director Tong also put down the ice hammer, pointed to the fish that jumped out and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of fish! I see that I have 1,008 catties just jumping out!"

After an hour of hard work, now is the time to enjoy the harvest, Secretary Zhou and they are very satisfied with the fruits of their labor.

Director Ding looked at the big fish dying and struggling on the ice, and laughed happily, "This fish is really big, just what I saw, there are seven or eight of them that are more than one meter!"

"Squad leaders, there is no shortage of food in our mountains, and we usually fish in the Grange, and just one fairy lake is enough for them to catch, so there are more big fish in this river. Zhang Wolf explained with a smile.

Turning to the villagers who were watching the excitement, he ordered: "Come and send these fish to the village primary school and give the children more food." ”

Tang Yuan stood on the ice and stared at Zhang Wolf vigorously, and Zhang Wolf was not tired when he saw it.

This fish is out, and I hurriedly sent her to the school so that I can send her away.

Tang Yuanjiao snorted, took the people, and carried the fish in the basket away.

After the ice cave is laid, the next work is to thread the rod, from the net inlet, the connecting rod connected to the fishing net is threaded in, and along the Xiaoice holes, the connecting rod is threaded until the net exit.

In this way, the nets form an encirclement under the water and enclose the fish.

Wearing a connecting rod is also a kung fu job, and inexperienced people can't do it.

"Out of the fish!"

After the net was lowered, with the cries of the fish's heads, the ploughing oxen and mules began to pull the winch.
