Chapter 66: Epiphany by the River
During the Han Dynasty, there were many ways for the people to catch fish, such as fishing with rods, casting nets, piercing fish with spears, spearing fish, catching fish with a lower cover, catching fish with ospreys, catching fish with empty hands, and so on.
The villagers of Liulin Village are accustomed to catching fish under their masks.
This cover is the kind of long rod cover, which has a hard cover and a soft cover. The hard cover is the bamboo cover, and the soft cover is the mesh cover. The villagers of Liulin Village will use these two kinds, but there is no bamboo here, and the hard cover used is a cover woven from reed stems; The soft cover is a deep cover woven with hemp rope, such as the size of a small pot.
In this way, you can catch fish on the shore without going down to the river. It's just that you have to see the fish before you can cover the fish, which is not very efficient. In addition, there are villagers who catch fish by stinging fish, and if it is in the summer, when it is suitable to go into the water, there will also be villagers who go down to the river to catch fish empty-handed.
In fact, in ancient times, the water resources in the river were relatively abundant. It's just that fish has never been the main meat of the people, and the general people actually don't like to eat fish very much, because fish has a strong fishy taste.
In fact, it was basically boiled, marinated, steamed, roasted, etc., and the concept of stir-frying did not appear. In addition, there is not much attention to seasoning, and it is generally eaten when it is cooked and sprinkled with salt, as long as it is full. Of course, this only refers to ordinary people's families, and the real big families are actually very particular about taste.
In terms of making fish food, the people of this era have already known how to use ginger, wine, salting and other methods to remove fish, but it is such a simple way, but it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Ginger is a common thing, not every household has it, wine needs money to buy, as for salt, it is also an extremely precious thing, and it is impossible for ordinary people to use too much salt to marinate fish food.
In the final analysis, the main thing is that the people are too poor, and even if there is coarse grain for the family to eat, it is quite good, where can you pay attention to the taste?
Liu Xianke doesn't care if there is still a master in these streams, this special one is short of food, and it would be a fool to put so many resources and not use them.
It was necessary to make boats and rafts, as were the women of the village who had to weave fishing nets, but they were not all at once.
Liu Xian thought about it and felt that the ways that could be used now were to cover the fish, and the other was to weave a fish cage and make a trap trap and place it in the water by the river to catch fish.
Even though it is winter and the river is already very cold, Liu Xian can still see a lot of fish swimming in the river when he stands by the river, and most of them are carp.
It has been several days since he came to the Three Kingdoms era, and Liu Xian, as the master of Liu's mansion, is not short of food and meat for the time being. However, he had never eaten fresh meat, and looking at the active fish in the river, Liu Xian felt greedy.
It is better to act than to be moved, Liu Xian immediately ordered Chen Gen and Chen Shi to let a few of them go back to the village immediately, bring all the fish covers in the village, whether soft or hard, and by the way, let them pick a dozen or so women with clever hands and feet to come over.
For the rest of the Self-Defense Forces, Liu Xian asked them to cut down and collect those reed stalks by the river. In fact, the willow branches in the willow forest by the river can also be deciduous, but if there are better reeds, there is no need to harm those willow trees.
While waiting, Liu Xian found a clean place by the river and sat cross-legged.
Last night, Liu Xian had already sensed the mysterious power between heaven and earth, and he was going to start trying to absorb it, but the man in black suddenly appeared to assassinate him, and Liu Xian has not cultivated since then.
Take advantage of now, Liu Xian will try to cultivate in this nature and see what kind of effect it will have.
Keeping a guard, Liu Xian still starts from selflessness.
With his earlier experience, Liu Xian quickly entered a realm of selflessness.
Liu Xian closed his eyes and felt this nature with his heart and the skin pores of his body.
There was the whirring of the wind, the sound of the river rushing, and the subtle sound of the dry branches of the willow forest shaking. Soon, a scene of nature was sketched in Liu Xian's mind.
Feel this nature with your heart.
Suddenly, Liu Xian saw that the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a faint mist of activity.
These aerosols are really thin, if you can't see them with the naked eye, in fact, even if you use your heart to sense, such as Liu Xian, which is equivalent to watching with the eyes of the soul, I am afraid that it will be difficult for ordinary people to see.
However, what is a little different from what Liu Xian saw last night is that these faint thin qi seem to have different colors, and some faint thin qi does not come out of thin air, but emanates from some substances.
For example, the thin gas emanating from the river is like water vapor, as transparent as it is, and faintly emits a faint blue light. What emanated from some trees was a faint green light, a thin breath drilled from the ground somewhere, exuding a faint yellow light, which was somewhat similar to the kind of yellow light that Zhang Ning had shown in front of Liu Xian.
In addition, there is a thin air that seems to have suddenly fallen from the sky, emitting a faint golden light. There are also some that come from nowhere, emitting a blue glow.
All these thin thin qi seem to exist by nature, and they are naturally and actively floating in nature, and sometimes they will meet with other thin qi, and they will intersect with each other to form a different thin qi, but there will also be times when they are separated.
They seem to be absorbed by any substance in nature, but they are spit out.
It's a wonderful world, and it's a wonderful feeling. All this makes Liu Xian feel that in this world, every substance seems to be breathing, and those thin gases seem to be the oxygen breathed by all substances.
Breathe!
That's right, it's breathing!
Liu Xian realized something again.
He felt the breath, everything in nature was breathing, and what nature breathed was that mysterious power, that faint thin breath that loomed.
And he realized that those thin qi all have their own attributes, which echoes the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang, coexisting with each other, can be combined and divided, and yin and yang are balanced.
The faint white gas I saw last night should be Yuehua, and the kind of golden energy I saw during this day should be the essence of the sun. The kind of green gas that emanates from plants is the essence of plants; What emanates from the river is the essence of water.
Feeling this, Liu Xian's heart was overjoyed.
He also understood that the so-called absorption of the mysterious power between the heavens and the earth is to absorb the various natural essences of the heavens and the earth, or the so-called aura.
Absorb and absorb the aura of heaven and earth through breathing.
Of course, this breathing does not only refer to the breath of the person, in addition to the direct breathing, there is also the breathing with the heart, as well as the pores of the skin of the human body itself, can breathe.
