Chapter 106: There Are Really Fish
"Yongxing, I need a bamboo."
"Fengnian, do you have a thread made of mulberry silk at home? If you have one, please bring me a shaft out. ”
After thinking about the materials he wanted to use to make fishing rods, Gu Junlan assigned tasks to everyone.
After telling everyone to gather at the foot of the mountain after taking their things, Gu Junlan turned around and ran home, ready to bring Gu's sewing needle.
When she got home, Gu Junlan also hurried to the library and seized the time to memorize the method of making a fishing rod.
When Gu Junlan took the sewing needle to the foot of the mountain and waited for a while, the others rushed over with the things she had explained.
Gu Yongxing was holding a bamboo in his hand and was out of breath.
"This, this, this is the shortest I can find!"
took it and took it in his hand and checked it, which was longer than the length originally told Gu Yongxing.
"Yes, thank you."
was thanked by Gu Junlan, Gu Yongxing scratched his head, and a trace of unnaturalness floated over his already hot and red face.
Subsequently, the rest of the parts such as the float were all ready, and Liu Fengnian's mulberry silk was used as a fishing line.
"Let's sir roast bamboo poles."
Gu Junlan admired the way of drilling wood to make fire, especially after she tried it, and her hands were worn out before the fire came out.
I saw one of the boys first bring a pile of wood chips and dead grass, casually break off a mountain numbness on the side, step on the ground and rub his hands on the wood back and forth, and after a while, I saw a little spark emerging from the sawdust.
After the fire was lit, Gu Junlan picked up the bamboo and roasted it back and forth on the fire.
The purpose of this is to dry the water in the bamboo and make it more resilient.
Waiting for the bamboo poles to be roasted and cooled, Liu Fengnian was late.
Gu Junlan took the spool he brought, and squatted down to tinker with the bamboo pole.
Looking at her serious appearance, Liu Fengnian explained in a ghostly manner:
"My father said that there was no mulberry silk at home, and I asked people to buy it in the county cloth village, so it was delayed."
Hearing what he said, Gu Junlan raised her head and gave him a thumbs up: "Little tyrant, I'm going to catch a fish later, and I'll give you an extra share." ”
After a while, a simple version of the fishing rod was made by Gu Junlan.
I took some flour from home, added a few drops of sesame oil, and made the dough into bait.
A group of people followed Gu Junlan up the mountain in a majestic manner.
found a vacant space by the pond and sat down, and Gu Junlan told them not to get too close to the edge of the pool.
The blue pool is level quiet and waveless, bottomless, which makes people feel cold.
Hanging the bait on the hook and adjusting the position of the float, Gu Junlan sat on the ground and began to wait.
The children, who had never seen fishing before, did not dare to breathe, staring closely at the goose feathers floating on the water, full of anticipation.
Insects and birds chirped from time to time in the mountains and forests, but the float was motionless like an old monk.
As the minutes passed, the boy who was not qualitative was already starting to get a little impatient.
"There's probably no fish here, right?"
As soon as he said this, the buoy slammed down.
At the last moment, Gu Junlan raised the fishing rod, and a fish with a silver light landed with the splash.
"Wow! There really are fish! It's much bigger than the one hidden in the grass by the stream below! ”
The fish, which was bigger than a palm, made the eyes of several boys glow with curiosity.
The fish was removed from the hook and placed in a basket covered with leaves.
"Go and find some branches in the woods, and we'll come and bake the fish later."
Thinking about the taste of grilled fish, Gu Junlan couldn't help but be full of excitement.
