Once the nets are made, it's time to think about fishing there.

Kuniji Onishi chose the lake between the former town of Komaki and the town of Onishi as the test site. Because the lake is located at the confluence of several small streams, the people often see big fish swimming around the lake, but they have not been able to catch too many fish due to their limited means.

Since Onishi Kuniji was unfamiliar with this novel fishing method, the command returned to the hands of Luo Zhengliang. According to the memory of later generations, Luo Zhengliang first let several bamboo rows carry fishing nets into the water, one end of the fishing net is dragged on the shore, and after 30 meters away from the shore, the net begins to be lowered, and it extends along the lake, and then a bamboo row gradually pulls the fishing net close to the shore on the other side.

When the nets reach the shore, the people on the shore begin to drag the nets to the shore at both ends, and six bamboo rafts guard the water surface on both sides, and are responsible for closing the gaps on both sides when the nets are on the side. The rest of the bamboo rafts slowly moved closer to the shore along with the fishing nets.

When the nets were dragged ashore at both ends, and the gaps on both sides were sealed, the surface of the water surrounded by the nets was still calm. When the nets are retracted and the surrounding water surface shrinks, the water begins to splash, and from time to time some large fish jump out of the water and tumble and fall into the water.

This situation attracted the attention of everyone in the vicinity, and even the people who were cultivating fields and picking wild vegetables in the vicinity gathered to cheer and cheer as more and more large fish jumped out of the water.

As the nets tightened again, the surface of the water surrounded by the nets shrank again, the water depth became shallower and shallower, and the splashes in the water became more and more intense.

Eventually, the net was closed. A patch of white flowers in a fishing net. Due to the relatively large grid, most of the big fish that enter the net are more than three or four catties, and even dozens of catties of big fish.

The people behind him were boiling, and some of them were even crying with excitement. They can't be blamed for this, after all, they haven't experienced such a bumper harvest again. At the same time, the eyes they looked at the lord became more and more reverent, and some of them already completely believed that this was a blessing brought by the lord as an oracle to everyone, and this was a miracle used by the lord. Later, some people even began to worship the idols of the lord (simple idols made of wood) in their homes.

In this test, a total of nearly 500 kilograms (25 stones) of large fish were caught. Luo Zhengliang immediately announced that a fish banquet would be held at noon that day, and all people in the territory could participate.

At noon, the lords took out their cooking tools one after another, spontaneously sat around dozens of fires, cleaned the fish, and then put the grains that the fish lord had just distributed into the "pot", put them on the makeshift fire, and began to boil. Soon, the smell of fish and fish soup wafted through the territory. Everyone was excited. Even Togo Heiji did not complain this time because of the "loser" behavior of the lord who temporarily distributed reserve food. At this time, he was sitting by the fire, tasting the fish and talking to the lord.

Luo Zhengliang is mainly divided into two fires here. Togo Heiji's wife Haruno Sakura and daughter Togo Kiku; Onishi Kuniji's wife, Tsukihime, and his son Tadajiro (Onishi Kuniji's eldest son was killed in a bandit attack, and Masahiro's maid Matsumiko was the last. These men besieged the city.

On Luo's Masahiro's side, there are Togo Heiji, Onishi Kuniji, Tsuda Hiromune, and a little koala that is lying on Luo's Masayo - Tian Miko. Why didn't the little girl come back to Matsumiko? Yes, and for the food.

As an otaku in later generations, Luo Zhengliang often cooked by himself, so his cooking skills were quite passable, especially in this era, and he was even considered superb. Although these fish have been processed by Matsumiko and the others, the fishy smell is still very strong, so Luo used the wild ginger that he accidentally found during a tour of the territory (ginger was already available in Japan at this time, but not many people knew its effect), plus some wild vegetables, and made a few steamed water fish. In addition, several grilled fish were grilled. …,

The little girl came with Matsumiko and Kikuhime. Matsumiko went back to her fire after preparing everything for Masara Rochi, and even Kikuhime went back with a red face (it seems that she is still not used to exercising her duties as a wife in public). The little girl was very curious when she saw Luo Zhengliang cooking some strange dishes, so she stayed, in fact, in her mind, she had already decided that as long as she saw this big brother, there must be something delicious. After eating a bite of fish, the little girl didn't want to leave, and while eating the fish, she said something to Luo Zhengliang in a slurred voice, Luo Zhengliang didn't hear it clearly at all, and it was estimated that it was also some words praising the deliciousness of the fish. Because the fish was still relatively hot, and there were more bone spurs, Luo Zhengliang hurriedly asked the little girl to eat slowly, and the little girl was willing to listen, while eating, she split her teeth and blew, and even because of the delicious fish, a few small tears poured out of her big eyes.

I looked at the little girl hanging beside me, wearing a gray and old light red kimono, it is said that this is the most beautiful piece of clothing for the little girl, and she usually doesn't wear it, but she only wears it on a particularly major holiday, and today she heard that there is a lot of fish to eat, so she put it on with the help of Matsumiko. A pair of small, thin hands with a slight scar (the scar was cut when Matsumiko pulled weeds) is now grabbing the fish meat and stuffing it into his mouth. The two small feet were still covered with mud, and several obvious scars could be seen on them, which were wounds from the winter that had been frozen and cracked.

Holding the little girl in his arms, while rummaging a few pieces of grilled fish to cool it down as soon as possible, while watching the little girl gobble up, Luo Zhengliang suddenly had a feeling of happiness, maybe the responsibility as a lord will also be a happy experience.

Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji are also savoring the delicious food in front of them. After all, such a novel way to eat fish, and it is also a delicious dish made by the lord himself, it does feel unique to eat. Looking at Tsuda Hiromune again, Luo Shizheng was amused for a while, this guy was grabbing a big fish with both hands and chewing it in a big gulp, completely ignoring the etiquette in front of the lord. And Togo Heiji on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and blamed Tsuda Hiromune with his eyes several times. But Tsuda Hiromune has completely turned into a foodie, and in the face of Togo Heiji's signal, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, and continued his own binge munching business. Seeing the diametrically opposed expressions of these two people, Masahiro was really amused.

During the meal, Luo Zhengliang discussed with several people how to deal with the remaining big fish. Luo Zhengliang originally planned to use dense bamboo poles to enclose a section of water in a nearby shallow stream to stocking these fish, but later gave up because he was worried that heavy rains would cause the water level of the stream to rise. In fact, the rain here is relatively sufficient, and there have been several heavy rains in the past half a month.

Later, Luo Zhengliang came up with the idea of using bamboo sticks to weave fish baskets and keep fish in captivity by the river. Dongxiang Pingji was stunned when they heard it, and it turned out that they didn't know what the fish basket was. After analyzing it to them for a long time, Luo Zhengliang depressedly confirmed that no one in the territory would compile these things. Luo Zhengliang himself will not be either, although he has seen it on TV in his previous life, he is not omnipotent after all. So the idea was eventually abandoned as well.

After much deliberation, the remaining large fish were finally treated as follows. First of all, each household sends 2 large fish, and the people will dispose of it by themselves; Secondly, some large fish are salted with salt after cleaning, but there is not much salt in the territory at present, so only a small part of the pickled fish are pickled; At the end of the day, the remaining fish are dried and preserved as a reserve food for this winter. As for the fish entrails left behind by cleaning up the big fish, some of them were distributed to the people according to their wishes, and the other part was buried deep under the corn fields of Roche Zhengliang as fertilizer. …,

The fish feast lasted for nearly three hours, and in the second half of the feast, the leaders spontaneously organized singing and dancing activities. Togo Heiji said with deep emotion that the people were so happy, and this usually happens during Obon (known as "Halloween" in China). Obon is a commemoration of the story of Muren's mother-saving in Buddhist scriptures, originally to encourage filial piety, but in Japan, I don't know why it became a festival for the masses to carnival. On the day of the festival, all the samurai and peasants put down their weapons and farm tools and join in the singing and dancing. At night, bonfires are lit all over the place, around which people continue to drink, sing, and dance, and the revelry does not end until morning.

At the end of the banquet, the lords took the two big fish that the lord had just sent to them, and they came to Luo Zhengliang to bow and salute one after another, and the lords became more and more grateful to this lord who gradually brought them a good life.

Since then, under the instruction of Luo Masashi, Onishi Kuniji has organized such large-scale fishing activities every once in a while (after all, it can't be too frequent, how to preserve too many fish at once will also be a problem, and frequent fishing will cause a rapid decrease in large fish), and the meat consumption in the territory has been greatly improved. The enthusiasm of the people has also greatly increased, and the speed of land reclamation has also been greatly accelerated.
