Chapter 90: Drilling Ice and Going to the Net

Tang Hai sat on a large pickup truck, looking at more than a dozen pickup trucks in the rearview mirror, as well as some good private cars and a yellow school bus.

The convoy looks strange, but it wouldn't be strange if you knew who it was.

……

Old man Li has been fishing all his life, Tang Hai wants to use money to hire him, he definitely doesn't want to move if he doesn't give a million dollars, after all, he is an old man of seventy-five, and his eldest son is a chef in a Chinese restaurant, so there is no need to be tired.

But if Tang Hai wants to challenge the 'glacier fishing' skills that he has relied on for decades to survive, he will definitely accompany him to the end! That's the first step to taking the bait!

At the end of May, there was no glacier in Seattle, but fortunately, the School of Fisheries at the University of Washington had a lot of energy, so it directly contacted the vicinity of the Columbia Ice Field, and took two rivers that were still freezing to be used as a battlefield for the two PK.

Carp are not as cold as tropical fish such as tilapia, and carp can 'walk under the ice'! When this kind of big stomach king has nothing to eat in winter, it is simply trivial to swim thousands of kilometers for a bite to eat! The research report of the Fisheries Institute has come out, and there is a ninety percent chance that the carp that made a big fuss in the rowing field came from Colombia on a long detour!

As soon as the investigation report came out, Dr. Wallace said that he wanted to borrow the river, and he begged them to go over with tears in his eyes!

Carp is not only a disaster for the United States, but also a disaster for many countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, etc., as long as it is mentioned to catch carp, even Britain and the United States may join forces, Canada is the little brother of the United States, of course, it is willing to follow orders!

……

The reason why Tang Hai was able to convince Wallace was his 'carp removal plan. ’

Why did Mr. Yang easily catch at least 500,000 pounds a day after four years of fishing? Just because that's the Great Lakes region of the United States, there are more carp?

Tang Hai searched for his information and studied his interview very carefully, in which he said, "There were other fish in the first two years of fishing, and in the past two years, they have basically been all carp."

In other words, his fishing did not bring any improvement to the American fishing industry!

The environment is still deteriorating, carp eat a lot, and eat everything, which has seriously affected the survival of salmon and other fish, Tang Hai estimates that in a few years, Mr. Yang's approach will no longer work, it is estimated that he will lose the support of the local political axe!

Tang Hai thought about why for a long time, and finally thought that whether it is a big carp or a silver carp, the jumping ability is very unheavenly! Big carp can easily jump over three-meter-high obstacles, and although the big silver carp are worse, they also have the ability to 'jump nets'!

In other words, the strongest, healthiest and largest carp were spared instead!

Strong and healthy means that the offspring are generally better than some weaker carp, and certainly stronger than salmon.

Large size means large spawning, and the spawning volume of super-large carp is in the millions! The hatching probability is about 1/5! The eggs laid by 100 giant carp can beat 30 million salmon fry in California!

After Tang Hai figured out the reason why Mr. Yang caught more and more carp, he almost laughed out loud!

I don't know if he did it on purpose, or think about people on the bright side......

And the 'glacial fishing method', as long as it is targeted, it will never be able to escape! It doesn't matter how strong or weak the carp is, it's all the same!

In addition, glacial fishing is aimed at carp that are ready to spawn, and the carp at this time not only has 'roe', but also has a more delicious taste!

As soon as Tang Hai told Wallace about his idea, Wallace immediately agreed, and all experimental needs were met as much as possible, and if the bigwigs of the fishery department who came to inspect today were satisfied, Tang Hai even had the opportunity to apply for a political axe subsidy. Mr. Yang got 2 million in 2010, and Tang Haizhen applied for it, which can only be more than this, and cannot be less than this, after all, prices have risen, and the state political axes also have the idea of competition.

In the convoy, there were Mr. Li's family and more than 20 friends he invited to help, there was the Seattle Refrigeration Company, there was Ma Lena who had just had a sore egg on summer vacation, and a group of people led by the fishery department to watch the excitement, there were more than a dozen leaders from the fishery department, as well as forty or fifty students and teachers of the fishery students, and two reporters from the fishery newspaper......

There are more than 100 people and 20 cars!

Tang Hai really wants to say that you guys are enough!

……

It's Seattle, Colombia, and Washington State pays more taxes each year than the fishing industry! So the road conditions were very good, and the group set off in the morning and arrived before noon!

All the tools of the old man of the Li family have been used by him for many years, and before moving to the United States, he gave up the position of 'fishing head' to a young man in the village, but the equipment has been with him for many years, and he is reluctant to lose it, so he brought it with him. Tang Hai heard him say that he secretly used it in the United States once last year, and no one found out.

When he arrived at the icy and snowy destination, Lao Li, who was thickly dressed and wore a Lei Feng hat, pulled down six horses from a large truck.

Lao Li has raised horses for decades to help with fishing, and he is really not used to not having horses, so he came here to raise them again. Three horses for his own use, and three horses for Tang Hai to use later.

Ice fishing?

With a horse-drawn fish?

A group of Yankees are staring at each other with big eyes, and even Wallace, a half-China expert, can't understand it!

The reporter was simply frightened to take pictures......

"Don, what is this doing?" Wallace looked into the distance, where an incense table was fiddling with boiled chicken or something.

it!

The way to worship the river god in Lijia Village? Is this trick good on Yankee's turf?

"Worshipping the river god." Tang Hai was stunned for a long time before replying.

"Oh, I see!" Wallace and many people around him suddenly realized.

Then I saw that the believers had painted crosses......

Everyone worships differently, right? Aren't you afraid of fighting with different beliefs? Tang Hai looked at the two groups of people in astonishment, all begging for God's blessing.

Then Tang Hai thought, I can't fall behind!

So he also clenched his fists against his forehead and said in a low voice: "The ancestors bless, the ancestors bless......"

Many people inexplicably joined the prayer lineup, and finally even Jason began to ask for the god of the sea!

Malena looked at the group of second-hand goods in a daze, she didn't understand what the situation was now.

When Tang Hai's hand was put down, she sneaked up on Tang Hai and whispered, "Tang, is it okay to let them take pictures casually?" If you really do something, you will be learned by others in the blink of an eye. ”

"It's okay, I have an ancestral recipe for carp." Tang Hai replied in a low voice.

After worshipping the river god, Old Man Li began to look for the 'fish vein'.

No matter how powerful the carp under the ice is, it is also affected by the cold current, and often can only float downstream, and the direction in which the fish flutter is called the fish vein, as long as you find the right fish vein, the special ice fishing net can receive a lot of fish! The most important job of the 'fishing head' is to find the fish vein, if the fish vein is not found accurately, then the fishing head is unqualified, and will be ridiculed by his fishermen.

Old man Li walked slowly on a horse, and soon he found a place.

The small drilling rig was put on it, and a one-meter-wide hole was made, and immediately a few offspring tied wooden and bamboo planks to the hole, and then took out a strange net and was about to sprinkle it into the hole.

This net is just a big tube, very long.

……

Rush!
