For today's 'ice fishing', Zhao Dashan took a few assistants and apprentices to the ice at five o'clock this morning and began to look for the most suitable place to lower the net.

Zhao Dashan is almost 50 years old this year, he followed Shi Baozhu at the age of 20 to learn fishing techniques, and has obtained the true inheritance for more than 20 years, especially the technique of 'ice chiseling and fishing', and has the demeanor of a teacher.

Just walking on the ice, looking at the bubbles under the ice and the direction of the current, Zhao Dashan can identify the places where a large catch is most likely.

In recent years, due to extinct fishing and water pollution in many rivers and lakes in China, the harvest of 'ice fishing' has been much worse than before, and many 'fish masters' have begun to find other jobs.

Fortunately, because "A Bite of China" has caused a huge sensation in the minds of the Chinese people, the "ice fishing" of "Cha Gan Lake" has become a very distinctive local intangible cultural heritage, and it has finally been preserved.

But even so, Zhao Dashan's main income comes from other industries, rather than the creative work of 'ice fishing'.

This time, the 'Dream Scenic Area' offered a lot of money to invite Zhao Dashan to work in the United States, just because of the novelty that 'ice fishing' can bring to tourists.

Zhao Dashan and others who work in the 'Dream Scenic Spot' can get about 1,000 US dollars of pocket money every month, and the 'Jinghu Group' will also pay an additional 10,000 RMB in China.

In contrast, Zhao Dashan, who is nearly fifty years old and has no high education, cannot get such a high salary in China, so he came unusually happily.

In addition to showing his hand at today's opening ceremony, Zhao Dashan will be fishing in the 'Dream Lake' every three days in this winter, which will be a regular activity in the scenic spot.

In the era of abundant supplies, 'ice fishing' has lost the meaning of supplementing food in the past. It's more of a fun-filled folklore activity.

The 'Dream Scenic Area' does not expect 'ice fishing' to become the main source of food in the scenic area, but hopes that in this way, tourists can leave good memories in the scenic area.

In the land of America, the traditional Chinese fishing method of guò is passed, where Asian carp is harvested and then a variety of Chinese delicacies are cooked on the spot. It's a pleasure to think about.

…………

In the morning, after choosing a location to lower the net, Zhao Dashan and his assistants began to cut holes in the ice every 12 meters to facilitate the netting.

Compared to before, it is much easier to drill holes in the ice with a thickness of up to 80 cm, whether it is an electric drill or other power tools, it saves a lot of time and energy.

While the tourists and guests were still eating breakfast in the restaurant, Zhao Dashan had already put all the 200-meter-long super nets under the ice, waiting for the fish to enter the nets.

After all, the 'ice fishing' in the scenic area is more to let tourists see the joy of the harvest moment. As for the principle and hardship of 'ice fishing', it is not something that needs to be considered in the 'dream scenic spot'.

Therefore, after the brief opening celebration of the 'Dream Scenic Spot', Zhao Dashan has already begun to calculate the best time to start the net.

…………

While waiting for the net to be lifted, visitors change into skates and skate on the vast 'Dream Lake', which is much more enjoyable than doing it on a small rink.

To be on the safe side, of course. The 'Dream Scenic Area' still carefully checked the freezing conditions of the lake and divided the safety area. Set up guardrails and more.

In a sense, the service awareness and level of the 'Dream Scenic Spot' to tourists are several grades higher than that of the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Spot', which is also related to the development orientation of the two scenic spots.

'Jinghu Scenic Area' is a scenic spot for the general public, and the fees for tourists are moderately low, so that it can adapt to the current general situation in China, but 'Dream Scenic Spot' is a scenic spot for high-end customers, how can the high fee reflect the value. Meticulous and thoughtful service can explain the problem.

Ever since coming to 'Dream Attraction', visitors have never been able to get rid of the feeling of being at home, which makes it worth their money!

…………

"Pick up the net!" With Xiao Feng's order, Zhao Dashan began to drive the four quart horses on the ice. Begin to pull the fishing net around the wooden turntable.

Nowadays, some parts of the Northeast have adopted more efficient and powerful diesel engines for netting, but in order to better show visitors the original flavor of 'ice fishing', four quarthorses with soft cloth on their hooves have become the main force today.

Four horses walked around the wooden turntable, and the 200-meter-long nets began to emerge little by little.

Here, Zhao Dashan chiseled an ice cave with a diameter of about two meters, and inlaid a few pieces of wood around it to prevent tourists passing by from falling down.

In the weather of minus 10 degrees Celsius, falling into an ice hole is not a joke.

As the fishing nets were revealed little by little, the surrounding reporters began to get excited, carrying cameras and SLRs, grabbing advantageous positions in the surroundings and striving to take the best pictures. Of course, Mango TV, Inspur.com, Haizhou Satellite TV and Huaxia TV naturally have the best orientation, and the 'Dream Scenic Area' even provides them with a small platform with a steel structure, so that they can shoot the panorama of 'ice fishing' in a good time.

When the first fish appeared in front of the tourists and guests, everyone couldn't help but let out a cheer!

A golden carp, nearly a metre long, was snapped up in a fishing net and brought out of the ice, where it bounced for a while before it froze.

For the Chinese people, the golden carp always represents a good omen, so everyone is more confident about the next harvest.

As time passes, the nets are pulled out from under the ice, and 'Asian carp', such as bighead fish, grass carp, carp, and silver carp, appear as if by magic.

I have long heard that there is a rampant 'Asian carp' here in the United States, but when these behemoths with a body length of thirty or forty centimeters or even more than one meter popped up one after another, everyone was stunned!

Now, it is really not easy to see such a large-scale harvest scene in China, not to mention. These 'Asian carp' are all born and raised, not like they are farmed in reservoirs!

Tourists have taken photos with these huge 'Asian carp', and some gourmets have already begun to ponder the whole fish feast at noon today.

According to the introduction and arrangement of the 'Dream Scenic Spot', the fish caught today will be cooked on site, so that visitors can enjoy the freshest taste.

No, when the fish are still struggling and jumping on the ice. The staff in chef's uniforms had already begun to clean them up with their hands and feet.

In order to avoid the pollution of the 'Dream Lake', the 'Dream Scenic Area' has also specially purchased military picnic trucks and various garbage and sewage collection systems to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The smaller 'Asian carp' is the best ingredient for making zuò grilled fish, and on such a cold and windy day, it is very comfortable to eat a grilled fish that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then drink a sip of warm Yuezhou rice wine.

In China, the famous Yuzhou grilled fish is used to develop the fish for about half an hour, but the chef of the 'Dream Scenic Area' is under the guidance of Xiao Feng. Better at freshly killed and baked!

I saw that the carp were cut open and held up with iron clamps, and roasted on a red-hot charcoal fire, and after a while, a thick aroma of burnt began to fill the air.

The chefs are very nimble in their hands and feet, one person can take care of a dozen grilled fish, and their one hand flips over the grilled fish, and the other hand quickly spreads the sauce on it, and the smooth movement is naturally dazzling for everyone to watch.

Xiao Feng, as the master, was not idle. He personally cooked the fish for the guests, and his actions naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Not only Xiao Ma, Ouyang Taichang, Lin Jian and other heavyweights watched Xiao Feng busy with his work. The reporters also faithfully recorded the various details of Xiao Feng's grilled fish, which will be an important video to attract netizens to click in the future.

Although those young people who regard Xiao Feng as an idol can't squeeze in, they also use various opportunities to take pictures of Xiao Feng's busy figure, which is also a kind of happiness for them!

Grilled fish is just one dish that is made on the spot, for tourists and guests. There is an even more exciting whole fish feast waiting for them.

Although the catch from the 'Dream Lake' is mainly 'Asian carp', in the eyes of the chefs of the 'Dream Spot', this is enough.

Whether it's classic boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, chopped pepper fish head, pan-fried fish steak or fish head tofu soup, or fish balls, fish noodles made from fish meat, etc. It will leave a very deep impression on the tourists.

In order to make the opening of the 'Dream Scenic Spot' a good start, Xiao Feng did not hesitate to invest a lot of 'Space Spiritual Spring' in the accompanying water truck, so as to bring the already delicious dishes to a higher level.

Charcoal made from North American black pine is full of vitality, and after a while, the grilled fish will be baked one after another, and the 'Dream Scenic Area' is also quite hard, with nearly 100 tables set up on the ice, allowing tourists and guests to experience the special experience of enjoying food on the ice lake.

In this regard, everyone felt quite novel, and did not raise any objections.

With a slightly cold north wind blowing and golden sunlight in the sky, it was interesting to enjoy the snowy scenery of the Rocky Mountains not far away, while enjoying the whole fish feast.

Grilled fish is served first on a small charcoal stove with grilled fish and a variety of freshly fried vegetables, sprinkled with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and coriander.

With a clip of chopsticks, the snow-white and delicate fish has a layer of roasted golden and crispy skin, and the impact in the mouth is naturally incomparable compared to the two.

As for all kinds of vegetables, they are all top organic vegetables of the 'Jinghu Group', and they taste good in themselves, and after careful cooking by the chefs, the taste is naturally not bad.

Some tourists who like to eat sashimi can order it on the spot, Xiao Feng is carrying a slice knife, and is busy around a grass carp weighing more than 30 kilograms. I saw that the knife in his hand was dazzlingly wielded, and pieces of sashimi as thin as cicada's wings flew into the plate.

In some people's lives, they still think that 'sashimi' is a specialty of Dongying, but in fact, it is a delicacy originating from China, and it was called 'fish tart' in ancient times.

However, because freshwater fish often have more parasites than marine fish, the 'fish tart' gradually declined in Chinese food culture, and was eventually covered by Dongying's reputation as 'sashimi'.

There have been records of eating fish in China as early as the Zhou Dynasty, which can be traced back to the fifth year of King Xuan of Zhou (823 BC). The inscription of the unearthed bronze "Xijia plate" records that the Zhou master met the lynx in Peng Ya (now in Baishui County, Shaanxi) and returned triumphantly, and the general Yin Jifu had a private banquet for Zhang Zhong and other friends, and the main dish was roasted soft-shelled turtle and raw carp fillet.

The Book of Songs. Lesser. June" recorded this incident: "Drinking the friends of the emperor, the turtle and the carp", and the "carp" is the raw carp.

In addition, various historical materials and documents also have a lot of records for 'fish tart', proving that 'fish tart' is an indispensable dish in Chinese food culture.

Cao Zhi also likes to eat yusheng, and his "Famous Capital Chapter" has: "Crab and fetal shrimp, shelled turtle and scorched bear's foot", and the yusheng is dipped in small shrimp sauce to eat.

"The Book of Rites" also has the following description: "green onion in spring, mustard in autumn", and there is a description of "no sauce or no food" in the Analects of the Analects, so the raw fish in the pre-Qin period should be seasoned with the sauce with green onion and mustard.

This method of eating is not much different from the current 'sashimi', which is enough to prove that this dish has a long history in China.

Although the Asian carp in the "Dream Lake" is a freshwater fish, there is no industrial pollution, the water is clean, and the probability of parasites in the fish meat is low.

These tender fish are dipped in a little wasabi and chewed in your mouth, and the unique fragrance and chewiness of sashimi are a perfect match when paired with stimulating wasabi.

For this reason, many tourists and guests who like this dish were fortunate enough to taste Xiao Feng's handmade zuò's 'fish tart', and for them, this experience was quite pleasantly surprised.

With the help of dozens of chefs and hundreds of employees, the various dishes of the whole fish feast were delivered like flowing water, and the strong aroma could not be dispelled even by the north wind.

Even the super-rich and entertainment celebrities enjoyed food in this environment for the first time, and the novelty made them very happy, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces.

In fact, people who know Xiao Feng know that every time they meet Xiao Feng, they will encounter all kinds of things that impress them.

Of course, what makes everyone's image the most profound is the variety of food, whether it is in the 'Dream Scenic Area' or the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', all kinds of food have made everyone a little numb.

Many guests are looking forward to what delicious food they will taste next time they come to Xiao Feng's territory? (To be continued......)
