Chapter 116: Fishing

"Alright, put the net up!"

Seeing that there were already a lot of fish in it, Song Xuan asked everyone to start collecting the nets, and it was also a common thing for everyone to raise these fish, ten catties, as long as there were one or twenty, it would be enough for the tribe to eat happily.

And just looking at the net that is three or four meters long and two meters wide, there are twenty or thirty fish, and they are not small.

Although there are a lot of fish raised, there must be limited fishing, if you let go of eating, these fish will not be eaten for long, and this kind of fresh food is more delicious, and it is just right to get a meal at a time to satisfy your hunger.

Coincidentally, after everyone arranged the nets, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and while it had not continued to fall, it was just right to clean up and go back quickly.

It's not troublesome to arrange, just turn around the water surface, it's not so simple to close the net, in addition to tightening the opening, you have to turn around, otherwise it's not easy to drag it up.

Good manpower is very abundant, almost crowded, everyone carries the upper edge of the net, and then turns it slowly, as much as possible to keep the bottom of the net from leaving the riverbed.

After facing the shore of the opening, it is convenient to untie a few slightly longer ropes and start dragging the net over the shore, and at first everyone can also put up the net at the edge of the ice, although it is winter, but after this operation, the fish inside also began to notice that something was wrong.

Although it was not as lively as usual, it began to swim in all directions, but fortunately, there were nets on all sides, and it was not so easy to escape.

But the preliminary estimate is that the fish caught in this net is basically the limit of this net, and there will not be such a rich harvest in normal times, and it is almost impossible for the children to work up and down for a day, and it is almost impossible to have so many big fish.

In order to ensure that it would not sink too much after going into the water, there was naturally a trade-off in terms of strength, so after pulling it up a little bit, he noticed that the resistance had obviously increased, so Song Xuan asked everyone to stop, and he still had to use the old method and send people down to support the net from all sides to prevent the net from being unbearable.

The fishing net was broken in the tribe has also happened, although the number of times is not much, but every time is a big regret, usually can not catch so many fish, can have a hundred and eighty pounds, it is a very good luck, so every time it is broken in the past is almost due to the existence of big fish.

The kind of dozens of pounds of big fish is almost half a person long, and the strength in the water is greater, even if the children noticed once, they couldn't stop him, or it was broken by the fishing net, it was very exciting to see the big fish, but in the end even the small fish escaped.

"The one who puts the leg on goes down first and holds the net!"

Just pulling the fishing net, Song Xuan felt a chill, and it would definitely be better to go down with protective measures.

Some of them were holding around, and at this time, the fishing net was only a little more than a meter away from the shore, and the water depth was about the same as Song Xuan's cover of this big animal skin, less than ten centimeters above his knees.

However, there are not many people in this group of macho men who have such consciousness as Song Xuan, and there are only four people together with Song Xuan, and the remaining two of them are from the Blackwater Tribe.

The four of them were obviously still a little choked, and Shi Meng saw that there were not enough people, so he also decisively ripped the animal skin, revealing his smooth thighs.

I stepped into the water with a step, and although I was also frozen by the cold river water, my state seemed to be okay, and I should be able to bear it.

The others also followed suit quickly, and four more people came down, and nine people were basically enough to hold up the fishing nets.

"Okay, pull up!"

Even with a layer of animal skin, Song Xuan felt that the temperature of his lower limbs was slowly draining, and it was conceivable that Shi Meng and others who had no protection could be imagined, so after everyone was in place, he quickly ordered the people on the shore to start dragging the fishing nets.

Under the water, all you need to do is to spread your legs, support the section in front of you as much as possible, and feel the fish hitting your legs, Song Xuan is also a little excited, he hasn't fished like this for a long time, even if he is not a fisherman, this feeling is very wonderful and very pleasant.

It was just a distance of more than one meter, and with the cooperation of more than 20 people, it didn't take long for the fishing net to be dragged to the shore, and a few big fish even washed directly to the shore.

At this time, Shi Meng and a few people have already come out of the water, and they are wiping the water on the shore with animal skins, but with their physical fitness, as long as the water is dried and the animal skins are wrapped, they will be fine soon, anyway, the time under the water is not long, and it is only a few minutes before and after.

Now Song Xuan and Shui Yun have completely stood side by side, pulling the fishing net apart, and asking the people on the shore to quickly fish away the big fish.

Song Xuan counted casually, and there were six or seven big fish in the middle, the smallest one looked like it was about ten catties, and the remaining four or five catties also had three or four.

After the larger ones were fished away, the rest was dragged ashore directly with the fishing nets, although he spent a lot of time underwater, Song Xuan felt okay, and after taking off the somewhat bulky animal skin, it was not cold except that it felt a little cold.

When everyone was catching fish, Song Xuanke looked at it, and now he went up to count it, and the fish were directly lined up in a row from large to small, with a total of twenty-six.

And among them, there are many big fish, there are eight more than ten catties, five catties to ten catties more, there are thirteen, and the remaining few can only be regarded as small fish, only about three catties.

Although the three-pound fish is not big in normal times, it will not be reduced to being regarded as a small fry, but under the largest fish in this net, which can almost have a school of 20 catties, it can only be reduced to the fate of being released in the end, and I don't know whether it is their luck or misfortune.

Even if the remaining fish are divided according to the head, everyone can eat about a catty, it is too troublesome to clean up in winter, it is better to only eat these big ones, anyway, it is enough, put the rest back, and eat it when it is not enough.

Of the more than 20 people who came, none of them had any empty hands, except for a few people with fishing nets, and the rest of the people each carried a fish and walked back.

It has only been an hour since it came out, and more than 20 people have solved a dinner in the tribe in a short period of time, which is still very amazing.

"If only it were so easy to catch fish!"

"You just want to do it~"

On the way back, everyone also sighed at the ease of fishing, and they were almost not busy, just smashed the ice open, waited for a while, and then closed the net.

Some people didn't even do much, and they wanted to catch a good fish, but they ended up just gathering around the ice hole to see the fish outcropping.

Song Xuan is quite comfortable, and he has also turned around, and he has also experienced this legendary winter fishing, although it is not as shocking as what he watched on TV in later generations, but it feels very good to experience it himself, although the things are simple, but the harvest is also rich, and he can have a beautiful meal at night.

Song Xuan, who was interested, even took out a pair of rabbits from the rabbit nest.

Now the rabbits are naturally tossing and not moving this season, one is nested in the rabbit house, and the ones born before have been separated, Shi Yan basically matched them with the right, as for those who came down singlely, they have long been turned into fertilizer and entered reincarnation.

Live rabbits are still snowing down for the first time in the tribe to eat, although the overall number seems to be a lot, there are more than a hundred, but a rabbit eats normally, and it is barely enough for one or two people to fill their stomachs.

These two rabbits also let everyone taste the taste, everyone can't even get a bite of meat, one is used for stew, the other is used for roasting and roasting, Song Xuan has already arranged their death.

Uncle Lu, who had been silent for several days, also poked his head out after hearing the movement, and when he saw Song Xuan, who was holding a rabbit in one hand and a fish in the other, he opened the fence with the top of his head, trotted in front of Song Xuan, and rubbed Song Xuan's shoulder with his huge head.

It's been snowing for the past few days, and Uncle Deer's excitement naturally doesn't come out easily to get frozen, and he usually nests in the house.

Only when Shi Yan fed him grass would he go around outside, play with Song Xuan and Wangcai, and now when he saw that the snow had stopped, he also ran back and called out his family.

"Yo~hehe!"

Hearing Uncle Lu's voice, Wangcai also rushed out of the house directly, compared with other animals, Wangcai is still very free, and the size is not big, it is very convenient to stay anywhere, these days he has also stayed directly in the main house, and he has hardly moved his nest.

It just so happened that Shihua was cleaning up the animal skins, and Wangcai also lay down and went directly into the pile of animal skins, not caring whether there were his kindred, anyway, they slept very comfortably.

Except for eating, he basically didn't move much, and now he heard that Uncle Lu ran out with the path, so he was naturally very happy.

Song Xuan also let them have fun on the snow, whether it is Uncle Lu or Wangcai, they are more clever, especially Wangcai, as a wolf, Song Xuan has no doubt that he can survive in the snow at will, but the life in the house may be more comfortable, but it restricts his wildness.

Now that the snow has stopped, it's good to let them take a spin outside.

Looking at the fish brought back by everyone, the others also seemed very happy, they have been dried meat for the past few days, plus a bowl of fish soup where you can barely see the fish, you can eat it so refreshingly.

Not to mention how happy they were, after watching it for a while, everyone also acted quickly, scraped off the fish scales, cut open the stomach with the esophagus, and put the fish offal inside into a special basin.

It's good to pour it out together after everything is done, otherwise the house will be dirty, and you will have to smell these strange smells all winter, and Song Xuan doesn't want to get along with the fishy smell every day.
