Chapter 345: Hearth's Warming Tea

At four o'clock in the morning the next day, Cai Youyou and others braved the cold and came to the lake with various fishing tools.

Zhang Dong told everyone that the thickness of the ice layer in this frozen lake is at least seventy or eighty centimeters or more, and even some areas with ice thickness can reach a thickness of more than one meter and two.

Here, everyone can walk on the ice with complete confidence, just need to be careful not to slip on the lake, and that's it.

Zhang Dong was talking to everyone while observing everywhere.

Once he has chosen the place to drop the net, the place to get out of the net and the area where to fish, the winter fishing operation begins.

First of all, you need to use professional tools to cut out the lower mesh, outlet mesh and lever holes in the ice.

Piercing holes in the ice is a lot of effort. Especially when the thickness of the ice is more than 70 or 80 centimeters, making a hole in the ice is definitely heavy labor.

However, fortunately, Zhang Dong has been here and knows more about the situation here, so he specially brought a lot of modern machinery and equipment.

The heavy physical work of digging holes in the ice is left to the machine.

Once the location is determined, the first ice hole to be excavated is the lower mesh.

Then from the lower mesh to each side of the hundreds of steps (the direction is 70-80 degrees in front of the direction) to determine the position, this position is called the wing flag by the old fishermen, the specific reason is no longer verifiable, but it may be because of the need to plant a striking flag as a mark.

After completing this step, Zhang Dong walked hundreds of steps from the position of the wing flag to the front, determined the position of the round beach flag, and then went to the front of the two round beach flags to meet hundreds of steps ahead, determined the mesh, and inserted the net flag.

Zhang Dong told everyone that the size, direction, shape, angle of the net, and preparation of the net are all based on some historical materials of winter fishing, which have been explored step by step, and through continuous experiments, they have been enriched and perfected, and there is a lot of knowledge in them.

After inserting the winged flag, by the hammering machine, along the lower mesh to the winged flag, every about 15 meters chisel an ice eye, and then under the rod (18-20 meters long thin rod), by the hook machine will insert the ice under the rod with a hook to push it to the next ice eye, the back end of the rod is tied to a water line rope (1 cm thick polyethylene rope), the waterline rope is with a large tapestry, the large tape is brought with a net, the underwater machine that runs the waterline pulls the waterline rope to drive the tape forward, the wheel of the machine twists the tape with the large net forward, and the fishing net is put under the ice little by little with the hook, And grasp the lightness and heaviness of the net at any time, waiting for the harvest.

Zhang Dong and one of his assistants were operating the machine to make ice eyes and cloth fishing nets, while Mo Xun was studying and recording beside him, while Wang Fatzi, Zhu Qing and several other boys were busy sorting out other tools.

Cai Youyou, Hua Xi and a few other girls picked some clean snow in an unpolluted area, lit a campfire on the shore of the lake with the stones they picked up and the fuel they brought, and prepared to boil some hot water and cook some hot tea for everyone to drink, which can also have the effect of warding off the cold.

Cai Youyou watched Mo Xun chisel the ice eye over there, and at the same time added the dried ginger prepared in advance, the orange peel cut into shreds and dried, and the dried red date slices, plus a little tea and rock sugar, into the teapot, and boiled it into a steaming cold tea.

Seeing the curling heat, Wang Fatzi immediately beckoned everyone to come over, and smiled at Cai Youyou: "Sister, I have long seen you fiddling with something here." Is it Hearth's Warming Tea?
