Chapter 169: Fish Fly All Over the Sky

PS: ps: No one gets tired of drinking water because of the blandness of the water, and no one abandons life because of the blandness of life.

In the original era when there was no machinery, the horse-drawn winch was used, and at that time it took two or three horses to twist the leash, and now with this kind of 'horse god', it will save a lot of trouble, and it can also improve work efficiency.

Wang Buping saw that there were fishermen who lifted out 7 cm × 9 cm square pine poles from the car.

After Uncle Luha's explanation, Wang Buping finally understood that this thing is called a 'lead rod', and the lead rod is like a sewing needle, which plays the role of traction under the ice.

These lead rods are to make the fishing net float in the water, and those ice holes are drilled to control the direction of the lead rods from the ice, and experienced fishermen reach into the walking rod fork from the ice holes, and control the lead rods to travel in the direction of the ice eyes through feeling and experience in the left and right manipulation.

The rope is connected to the drawstring, and the winch machine called 'Ma Shen' is used to hook the rope out and twist it every 3 ice eyes, and the rope is twisted forward little by little, and the two large nets can naturally form a parallel fan after entering the water.

At the end of the pole are large ropes with a diameter of 45 mm, and when the nets are lifted, these 150-metre long ropes are wrenched out of the ice by a net winch before the nets are dragged ashore.

When the nets are all under the haode, Wang Buping finally figured out the situation inside, the whole large net is composed of 3 pieces, two lead rods each lead a 410-meter-long net, the two nets are connected to a 25-meter-long, 21-meter-diameter large net.

Wang Buping really thinks. This fishing is a jishu work, physical work, it is said that this ice drilling, rod threading, pole walking, netting, out of the pole, from the net to the net, a net generally has to run under the ice for about 5 kilometers, these people work together, even if everything goes smoothly at least 5 hours.

When it was almost noon, it was almost noon, and it was time for everyone to rest today, when Wang Buping saw some fishermen climb into the body covered with cotton canopies. Sit down on a woollen seat.

There was a coal stove burning in the body. The warmth on the face and the bitter cold outside the car separated into two shijies, stews boiling in the pot, white steamed buns baking around the stove, and a pot of white wine hanging on the roof of the car. Taking a sip of each person at lunch can dispel the cold in the body.

Wang Buping was having lunch with them. I also got a message: the sacrificial lake. This was done because they had already done it when they set off, and they couldn't see it while waiting here, which made Wang Buping a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, they were all waiting here, and there was still one thing missing that I didn't see.

The sacrificial lake is to put an offering table on the ice, put wine, fruits, snacks, pig's head or whole sheep, and the fisherman leads all the fishermen to set off firecrackers, burn paper, and prostrate after reciting the sacrificial words, praying for safety and high yield, after the sacrifice is completed, all the offerings are thrown into the lake from the ice eye in front of the offering table, and the fishermen will set off as a team.

It is also the most solemn and mysterious ritual at the beginning of the winter fishing, whether it retains the primitive worship of the local ancestors to this large lake, and the fishermen only know that it is "a rule passed down from generation to generation by the older generation", even in the most powerful historical period of breaking feudal superstition.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Luha told Wang Buping that they were about to reel in the net, and with the order of an old fisherman in his sixties, the 'horse god' began to stir the reins and pull the net below.

The most breathtaking scene is this ice-breaking fishing moment, only to see the long dragon-like net slowly pulled out of the ice mouth, and the fish that are still hibernating are awakened in their sleep, fluttering and jumping in the big net.

Seeing those fishermen constantly washing the lake with high-pressure water guns, the white vapor steamed outward with the surging water of the lake, and the bare eyebrows and eyelashes of the fishermen around the mesh were covered with a layer of white frost.

Wang Buping didn't know what it was for at first, but after asking the fisherman, he learned that this was to prevent the lake from freezing again, and to clean the mud on the net when the net was pulled out.

As the long nets are dragged ashore, the fisherman directs the fishermen on both sides of the net to spread out the nets at the same time to facilitate the reeling machine, and by the end of the 410-meter-long nets, the fish entering the nets become denser and denser.

Unlike the imaginary "jubilant" big fish, poking out of the mesh are dense silvery-white small fish, all about 10 centimeters long.

Seeing Wang Buping's doubts, a worker explained to Wang Buping: "There are more than 30 kinds of fish in Hulun Lake, mainly carp, crucian carp, oil minnow, and pouting white fish, and this silvery-white oil meal minnow accounts for 90% of the fish produced."

Because of the cold climate and short growth period, the wild fish in Hulun Lake generally grow slowly, and a carp weighing up to 1 kg needs 3 years to grow, while these 10-centimeter-long small white fish have grown to their maximum size. ”

The biggest catch is in the net pocket of the zuihou side, when the edge of the net is dragged out of the water, the little white fish have completely blocked the net.

In order to prevent the fish from falling on the ice surface and freezing into a stone, the fishermen holding the "copy fisher" will try their best to sprinkle the fish out of the live and jumping fish, so as to ensure that the fish can be evenly scattered on the ice, at this time in the golden sun, the whitebait is flying all over the sky, like a jumping goldfish, the sunshine fish reflects the smiling faces of the fishermen, that feeling is that the farmers enjoy the joy after the harvest.

Wang Buping also tried to copy it for a while, and found that if he didn't have the strength, he really couldn't do it, and that copy was almost more than 30 pounds.

Looking at the fish covered with ice, those fishermen were still fishing up from the water, smiling on everyone's faces, shaking the fish hard, the fish flew all over the sky, Wang Buping also saw a big guy, several fishermen did not get the fish with the copy, zuihou, or a fisherman took a big net, and the two of them fished it together.

When the fish was caught, Wang Buping ran over and saw that it was a red carp, although it was not as big as the fish in the space, but it was also a giant.

A fisherman also took a ruler and measured it, this carp is more than one meter, and the color is red, which represents joy and good signs.

When the fishing was over, it was already past four o'clock, Wang Buping watched them pack up the fish on the ice, and knew that today's fishing was coming to an end, and he was about to start his purpose here.

They caught some oil minnows, there were few other fish, and Wang Buping couldn't ask them for fish, this time he came to Hulun Lake to fish and add fish to the space.

Wang Buping left them and returned to the big hole formed by the connection of the ice surface, where there was no need to make any effort to hit the ice eye, only to remove the ice chips on it, and then shovel on it.

After half an hour, looking at his results, Wang Buping was still quite satisfied, this strength is good, otherwise he will definitely not be able to handle the big ice cube just now.

An area of one square meter in front of him has been dug into a big ice cave by Wang Buping, and then, he began to pour space water into this hole, and after the space water was poured, Wang Buping took a net and waited here, he knew that after a while, this place would be crowded with fish.

It didn't take long for Wang Buping to see that one by one fish began to emerge in the square ice cave, and Wang Buping began to catch them, and a lot of fish, because they were not needed, were caught by Wang Buping and released again.

This will be more and more fish, so that Wang Buping did not expect things to happen, because there are too many fish below, some fish actually began to jump to the water, but, because the ice layer is relatively high, generally hit the ice wall, and fell into the water, the fish below are not light, Wang Buping also saw some fish, and was directly stunned.

This situation is more and more, and now the fish below are beginning to fly in patches, which makes Wang Buping not easy to fish, and he doesn't want all fish, just pick up some special fish.

Unexpectedly, there are really fish jumped on the shore, but they are some common carp and crucian carp, these Wang Buping did not pick up, looking at the water, a body back dark brown, body side to abdomen gradually white, body back and both sides scattered with oblong black spots, spot edge for light red ring fish, Wang Buping knew that this is a kind of fish he was looking for: fine scale fish.

Hurriedly picked up the net and fished it out, and after a while, I looked at the harvest, this kind of fish is okay, there are already more than a dozen, and they reproduce quickly in the space, and they don't need so much.

After half an hour's effort, after the influence of those space waters, Wang Buping looked at his harvest, it was not bad, most of the fish had been caught by him, including Zheluo fish, burbot cod, pike, catfish, Mongolian red fish, redfin fish, flower loach, pseudo-red fish, etc.

Although he didn't catch all the fish in Hulun Lake, Wang Buping was already quite happy, and he was going to get the rest of the fish in the future, and it was not early today, so he threw the fish that jumped on the ice and were still alive into the water, and those that had been frozen, he didn't ask, and left them for those animals to eat.

However, Wang Buping's unconscious action made him have an unexpected gain when he got up tomorrow.

Wang Buping entered the space and began to sort out these fish, some of which were fierce carnivorous fish, and if he ate the fish he had just caught, he would be depressed.

He made a few pools next to it, and raised these fish separately, and those carnivorous fish were thrown directly into the ditch by him, anyway, the fish in it were all multiplying, and there could be no more, and these fish could not be eaten.

In the evening, Wang Buping did not leave, but planned to rest here for one night, and set off tomorrow to see elsewhere, maybe Bear Lake did not need to go.

When he got up the next day, Wang Buping walked out of the space and was stunned by the situation at the mouth of the ice cave. (To be continued......)
