Chapter 7: To eat fish

Catching fish is a technical job, with many methods and many requirements.

However, there is something to be careful about catching fish, otherwise there will be great trouble.

That is, you can't grab it with your hands. As for why, it's very simple, because you can't catch it...

After finding some tough willow branches, Qin Ming recalled the appearance of the fish basket.

Although he was an orphan in his previous life and suffered a lot, he had never made a fish basket by himself, so he had no experience.

Now, I can only follow the map and explore it bit by bit based on the impression in my mind.

It’s not too difficult to compile this thing, as long as you find the skills, it’s still very simple.

After repeated many times in the afternoon, Qin Ming finally made the first fish basket.

The gap in the fish basket is not big, and the small fish in the river should not be able to pass through.

The hole is very small. Although the fish cannot be trapped after entering, it is okay to leave a small part of it.

Without hesitation, he looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Qin Ming planned to put it in the river before dark, and he would see the harvest tomorrow morning.

On the way, I happened to meet Su Yi and Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi looked at the fish basket in confusion and said, "What are you holding?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "The fish basket is used to catch fish."

Xiao Xi was very curious, looked at the fish basket and said, "Can this thing catch fish?"

Qin Ming said: "It should be possible, but if you don't try it, how can you know."

"Okay, then you go and try it. If you can catch it, there will be fish to eat it." Xiao Xi was a little excited.

Su Yi just took a random look, obviously not interested in this, or had no hope for the fish basket at all.

It felt extremely bad to be despised. Qin Ming looked at Su Yi and wanted to say a few words to her.

Su Yi also looked over and said, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"See what you are doing." Qin Ming just thought about it and didn't say...

He smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll invite you to eat fish."

Su Yi's face relaxed a little, he glanced at Qin Ming and turned around and left: "Let's talk about it when you catch it."

Looking at Su Yi's beautiful back, Qin Ming said to himself: "Before eating fish, I will surprise you."

Su Yi has a strong personality and his habit of drawing swords at every turn seriously affected the stability of Sanshan Village.

Qin Ming had already regarded this place as his home and was definitely unwilling to see the tranquility of Sanshan Village being destroyed.

So, he didn't want to worry too much about Su Yi.

Shaking his head, Qin Ming walked to the river, found a place, and put the fish basket in.

The fish basket is of moderate size and just past the water surface.

Next, it depends on what will happen tomorrow.

When she returned to the courtyard, Su Yi was practicing swordsmanship, Xiao Xi was preparing supper in the kitchen, while Su Ru didn't know where she went and had not returned yet.

Life in the mountains was very monotonous and there was no entertainment. Qin Ming returned to his room to prepare for the two-day teaching.

At present, there is no need to be too complicated. First, let the children know every Arabic numeral and then learn to combine it.

Therefore, he didn't need to prepare much, he just sorted out some ideas and steps.

It's better not to mention supper...

After Qin Ming simply ate it, he lay on the bed with nothing to do, preparing to force him to fall asleep.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, and before Xiaoxi could come to deliver breakfast, Qin Ming got up early.

With anticipation, Qin Ming came to the river, picked up the fish basket, and looked inward.

In the fish basket, there are seven or eight small fish the size of a little finger, jumping around.

Qin Ming was a little disappointed: "Only these few..."

It's always better than it is, but these little fish are not enough to get stuck in the teeth, so it may take a few days to accumulate.

When he returned home, Qin Ming went to the kitchen to ask Xiaoxi for a pottery jar, kept the small fish in it, and then came to the river again and put down the fish basket.

After breakfast, Qin Ming thought about it. If he wanted to have fish every day, he might have to make more fish baskets.

But although this thing is simple, it is also time-consuming.

At the same time, Qin Ming thought for a longer time.

The river water is not deep and the flow rate is not fast. I guess the water surface will freeze in winter. If it is cold, it will probably freeze under the water.

How should we eat fish at that time?

In winter, fish like to swim in deep water. Even now, there must be many fish in deep water.

If you find a place in the river, dig deeper, and put the fish basket in it, the harvest should be good.

Moreover, in winter, just smash the ice surface deep in the water and make a fish basket with a handle that is big, and after a few strokes, you should be able to have a meal.

When he thought of it, he did it, and nothing happened. Qin Ming instantly arranged the time for today.

First, go to the river to dig a deep pit, and then come back to weave a fish basket. How many can I weave?

The river water was very cold, but Qin Ming endured it in order to eat fish.

There was no mud and sand in the river, it was all stones, and tools were not easy to use, so Qin Ming had to pick it up piece by piece, and then threw it unevenly elsewhere.

This is a physical job. After the pit is deeper, Qin Ming bent down and could no longer reach the stone, so he could only sink into the body.

After half a morning, a deep pit with a diameter of more than one meter and a depth of water to the chest was finished, Qin Ming was already wet.

Find a wooden stick and insert it next to the deep pit to mark it to avoid accidents and avoid falling into the inside when you are not prepared.

Qin Ming was very satisfied with his masterpiece and walked towards home regardless of the surprise gazes of those passing by.

Wait until the evening, after getting the fish basket, put it in the pit.

As he walked, Qin Ming suddenly realized a serious problem.

No change of clothes.

Old Pan, carrying a hoe, passed by, looked at Qin Ming in surprise, and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Qin? Are you rolling down the river?"

This matter is not easy to explain. Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "No, Uncle Qi has any extra clothes? I haven't changed it."

"Yes." Old Pan quickly patted his chest and said, "I'll ask Nijo to send it to Mr. in a while."

"Thank you then."

"Don't be polite."

Old Pan was very fast. Not long after Qin Ming arrived home, a child of seven or eight years old came over with a dress.

So, Qin Ming saw two names with great backgrounds.

Erjo was a little thin, and seemed to be a little afraid of Qin Ming. He didn't dare to look at him when handing over the clothes: "Mr. Qin, this is what my father asked me to send."

"Well, thank you Erzhao." Qin Ming took it, Erzhao turned around and ran away.

He shook his head secretly, and Qin Ming felt emotion.

Too handsome is really bad, even children are shy when they look at it.

After changing into his clothes, Qin Ming went to find some willow branches and started the next work.

Lunch, don't mention it...

In the evening, four new fish baskets were born. Before the meal, Qin Ming left the house with the fish basket and a pottery jar.

The harvest of fish baskets in the river is not as good as in the morning, with only five small fish. After putting them into the pottery jar, Qin Ming set up a fish basket in the deep pit and placed the other four elsewhere.

If you are lucky, you should be able to eat fish tomorrow.

However, there are unexpected situations in the world.

That night, it was suddenly strong and the rainstorm poured.

Although it was clear in the morning, Qin Ming speechlessly discovered that the little stick inserted next to the deep pit was gone.

Moreover, after a strong wind overnight, the marks made by the river were also smoothed out.

What should I do? In desperation, Qin Ming had to determine the approximate location, then go down the river and test it little by little.

Without a few tests, Du Tengfei came over, with a few children following behind him, looking at Qin Ming curiously.

Du Tengfei stood on the shore not far away and smiled and said, "Where is Mr. Qin playing? The river is not deep, so why should I shrink? This is not the way I am a scholar."

When he came to find trouble again, Qin Ming glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Du Tengfei said again: "Although I don't know what you are doing, we scholars should not only be full of literary talent, but also be fearless. How can we be afraid of the small river that is not deep?"

Qin Ming still ignored him and tried to test himself.

Du Tengfei was not angry, turned to look at the children and smiled: "Today, Mr. Wang gave you a vivid lesson. I hope you can understand that scholars need not only talent and a sincere heart to serve the country, but also fearless courage."

Several children were confused, Du Tengfei was so arrogant that he said, "Mr. Qin's behavior is not desirable. Don't learn it. Now I'm optimistic. I'll show you what fearlessness is and what courage is."

After saying that, he jumped.

"Plop..."

Qin Ming looked up and looked happy: "I found..."
