11 Winter Catch

During this period, the people of the Li nationality can be said to be like a festival every day, singing on bonfires every night, and everyone celebrates happily. Although the matter of boiling salt was asked not to be publicized, it was not deliberately concealed from the people within the Li tribe, and after everyone learned that the water of Jinghu Lake could get salt, the clansmen were called happy.

Under the exploration of Lin Tian and the clansmen, the Li people have a complete set of work from boiling salt to fine salt to drying salt, and the quality of salt is far better than the coarse salt obtained from the Guifang tribe. Since then, the Li people have been generous in the use of salt, in the past, the barbecue was to grab a little salt and smear it on it, but now they are rich enough to grab the salt and sprinkle it on the meat, although the taste is very good, but it is also better than before.

Today, Lin Tian led his friends to dig pits and traps around the camp, because of the heavy snow last night, the ground was frozen very hard, and it was not easy to dig. But the friends were still very enthusiastic about digging pits and setting traps, Lin Tian told them that if you want to have a snow wolf skin coat, then dig down, after intestinal healing, boiling salt, building a camp and other things, the friends and the Li people were convinced of Lin Tian's ability. Therefore, no one did not believe what Lin Tian said to his friends, and the friends were looking forward to wearing a snow wolf skin suit, so even if the frozen soil was difficult to dig, he still insisted on digging the frozen soil one by one, digging pits and setting traps.

Lin Tian found branches and thatched grass to cover the pit, and then covered it with a layer of snow, which was seamless, and there was no difference on the surface. In order to prevent the clansmen from accidentally falling, a wooden stake is set up at each trap to make a special mark, and the clansmen will know at a glance and bypass it.

As soon as the trap was arranged, the patriarch came to tell Lin Tianjing that the surface of the lake had frozen, and asked him to start preparing for fishing.

"I'm going to see if the ice in Mirror Lake is thick enough, and if you dig ice on it to fish, it must be thick enough."

Lin Tian came to the mirror lake, took out a chisel to chisel the ice, the ice was more than 3 inches, Lin Tian said to the patriarch: "The thickness of the ice should be able to meet our activities on it, we will make the fishing cage today, and tomorrow we can chisel the ice cage on this ice to fish." ”

"Okay, let's go back and prepare, it's delicious to drink a bowl of hot fresh fish soup in this winter," said the patriarch with a look of longing.

On the second day, the patriarch and Lin Tian led most of the clansmen to Jinghu, and only a few clansmen were left in the camp to protect the village. The people who came to Jinghu carried a variety of tools and fishing cages, the cages were made of tree branches and vines, each cage was a rectangular body about two meters long and about one meter high, with two openings at each end of the cage, and the holes were hung with barbs in the shape of a funnel. In the center of the cage hangs a small container made of bamboo, this container is used to place the bait, the bait is secretly made by Lin Tian, Lin Tian mashes the millet grains and ferments, with a slight smell of wine.

Lin Tian made the first demonstration for the clansmen, Lin Tian took out a chisel to chisel the ice, yesterday it was still more than 3 inches thick, and today it is already the thickness of the length of the forearm. Lin Tian chiseled the ice surface from top to bottom, and after digging out an ice cave that could accommodate the size of the cage vertically, Lin Tian took out a little bait and placed it in the cage container, and then lowered the cage into the water and flattened it, and fixed it around the ice cave with a rope to suspend the cage in the water.

"That's it, you just do as I do, dig ice caves and keep them apart, don't get too close."

After Lin Tian instructed the clansmen, everyone took the cages and went to work.

"Brother Lin Tian, can you catch fish like this, what if the fish don't come?"

In the face of Gesang's questioning, Lin Tian said calmly: "Animals need to breathe air to survive like us, and the fish can't breathe fresh air if they freeze, let's chisel the ice surface, and the fish will come to the hole to breathe fresh air, plus my special bait, I'm not afraid that the fish won't enter the cage." ”

"So that's the case, then we don't have endless fish, haha, I'm going to go to the cage too."

Lin Tian suddenly thought that in such a cold weather, the entrance of the cave would definitely freeze quickly, so he found the patriarch and asked him to arrange a group of people to dig the hole at regular intervals to prevent the hole from condensing.

When it was almost time for dinner, Lin Tian brought his clansmen to collect the nets. Sure enough, each fish cage was crowded with a lot of live fish, of different sizes, and the clansmen called Lin Tian a god when they saw this, and Lin Tian naturally didn't dare to be it. Since the fish in the mirror lake are not caught all year round, some big fish are too fat, and one fish occupies a cage, Lin Tian thought that the cage should be made smaller and larger.

This was an unexpected bumper harvest, even to Lin Tian's surprise, he never thought that there were so many and so big fish in the mirror lake, and he saw that there were many small fish in some cages. So he found the patriarch and said: "We only take the big fish and release the small fish, so that there will be an endless supply of fish in the mirror lake." ”

"This is really a bumper harvest, there was no such easy way before, you came, it seems that everything has become simpler, and in the future, there will be a cage for fishing, and it is indeed necessary to ensure that there are fish to catch in the mirror lake, and it is right to release small fry." The patriarch deeply agreed with this, and after another compliment, he ordered the clansmen to release the small fish and return to the mirror lake.

After the patriarch's explanation, everyone also understood that they needed to leave fish fingerlings for Jinghu Lake, and then collect them when the fish grew up, so that there would be a steady stream of fish to eat.

The little fat man Tiewa was holding a big fish, and the fish leaving the water was struggling desperately in Tiewa's arms, and Tiewa hugged the fish tightly so as not to escape. Seeing this, Lin Tian said to Tiewa: "Fatty, how about it, you can have a feast, how do you want to thank me." Lin Tian knew that Tiewa's biggest hobby was eating, and Lin Tian often used the word foodie to ridicule Tiewa.

"Lin Tian, you are really amazing, are you really coming down from the sky, you know so much, and you are still so smart."

"Go aside, these are small things in our south, you follow me to mix, and from now on you can eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas."

"Really, then I will definitely obey Brother Tian's words in the future", the little fat man listened to Lin Tian's praise in the sea, his eyes were shining, if it wasn't for the chin still closed, he was afraid that his saliva would flow all over the ground.

"This is still fake, the food and play in my hometown are thousands of times better than this, and you will know when you have the opportunity in the future."

"Wow, I must go to the south, Brother Tian, you must take me there."

Lin Tian is now a southerner, and everything Lin Tian knows is taken for granted in the eyes of the Li people, and in their eyes, the south is a prosperous world of flowers. Although Lin Tian didn't know much about this world, he could know from everyone's words that the south must be several times more advanced and prosperous than the north, so Lin Tian also longed for the south very much to see the world in the south.

So here, Lin Tian deliberately teased Tiewa, laying the groundwork for going to the south in the future. You can't go to the south alone, especially Lin Tian, who is still very new to this world, although Tiewa Gesang and other friends don't know much about the south, but walking with them In Lin Tian's opinion, there are also companions along the way to relieve boredom, and Tiewa's skills are not bad, at least safety is guaranteed.
