Looking at the big fish still jumping alive in the fishing net, a group of hunters were excited and made the sound of ghosts and wolves howling at the same time.
Xu Chen's heart suddenly dropped to his belly button, a smile appeared on his nervous face, and he quickly directed a group of people to take back the fishing net.
There were several fish in this net, and they were constantly struggling. The fishing net was a little overwhelmed, and it made a creaking sound while shaking violently.
Soon, the fishing net was dragged to the shore, and a group of hunters swarmed up and caught the fish inside one by one, raising them high and shouting in excitement.
"Big fish quack!"
"Daga... Dagen quack..."
There were six fish in total. The smallest one was more than a foot long and weighed at least two kilograms. The largest one weighed seven or eight kilograms. It was completely impossible for one person to catch it. The savage holding the fish was slapped several times by the fish's tail and fainted immediately.
It almost fell into the pool. If a group of savages hadn't pounced on it and held it down, the biggest fish would have jumped into the water to escape.
The first internet went viral. A group of savages made a fuss and howled like ghosts for a while. After that, they became extremely emotional and demanded to be taken off the internet again.
Because the water is too clear, the visibility is not conducive to fishing.
So Xu Chen thought for a while and asked someone to pull out some vines and weeds, randomly tie them around the net opening, and then lower the net again.
Although the fish in the pool were a little frightened just now, they were a group of primitive fish that had never seen the world before. They were quickly attracted by the smell of food in the fishing net, and then began to enter the net one after another to look for food.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xu Chen ordered the net to be set up when he saw that the fish inside started to become a little commotion again.
With the first experience, a group of savages were much faster this time. Several people worked together to press the handle of the net, and the fishing net quickly emerged from the water. Amidst violent shaking and trembling, with water splashing everywhere, the fishing net broke away from the water.
Inside the fishing net covered by branches and weeds, densely packed large fish kept bouncing and struggling, and many fish kept falling down from the thick mesh.
"Sigh!!"
A group of savages screamed excitedly. Without waiting for Xu Chen's instructions, five or six pairs of big hands quickly dragged the fishing net to the shore. Several hunters gave up their hands in excitement and tried to grab it.
"Tug it to the shore..."
The fish in this net were so dark that it was impossible to count them, at least there were more than 20 fish. The mouth of the net was relatively shallow, and there were simply not enough manpower, so Xu Chen quickly pointed to the top of the pool and shouted.
A group of savages woke up and dragged and lifted the fishing net along the sloping stone beach to the river beach.
During the process of pulling, fish kept jumping out of the net, jumping directly into the water along the sloping edge of the pool to escape and ascend to the sky.
Although a group of hunters screamed angrily all the way, they did not dare to let go under Xu Chen's urging. They climbed up the river beach and placed the net on the flat gravel. Looking at the big fish still jumping wildly in the fishing net, they suddenly couldn't bear it.
Don't scream and rush forward to fight for it.
Xu Chen's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
To be honest, he used to really like catching fish, lowering the net, casting the net, catching the net, and fishing.
Even when surveying in the wild, you always carry fishing lines and hooks with you. As long as there is water, you can get a wooden stick or bamboo pole and start fishing on the spot. No matter whether you get something or not, it is a kind of leisure and entertainment.
Once you catch a fish, you can dig it up and eat it right on the spot.
Wild crucian carp is cooked in soup with some ginger, salt and perilla leaves. The taste is simply indescribably delicious.
Big fish are usually grilled, small fish and shrimps are grilled on a stone plate, and crabs are usually not spared.
After all, although field work is tiring, it is also full of wild fun and a completely natural life that cannot be enjoyed in the city.
But he had never seen so many fish caught in one net in the wild.
And all of them are big fish of at least two kilograms.
There were at least 16 or 7 fishing nets in this net. When they were brought ashore, the fishing nets had already fallen apart, and several net ropes had been broken, several big holes had been broken, and many of them had jumped out along the way.
But no one is worried about the fishing nets right now.
Because of so many harvests, the fishing net is no longer important. If it is broken, make a new one.
A group of savages were rushing to put fish into their baskets. While they were busy and noisy, they suddenly heard shouts of yo ho yo ho coming from outside the mouth of the valley.
A group of savages suddenly became nervous, quickly picked up their bows and arrows and looked warily in the direction of the valley entrance.
Soon, I saw a group of more than ten savages dressed in furs, carrying spears and clubs, carrying baskets on their backs and carrying rattan baskets coming along the path of the valley.
"Huga!"
Seeing these people from a distance, the tension of Feng and others relaxed. Some people stepped forward to say hello, while the rest quickly continued to collect the fish.
What came was a group of savages from the Hu tribe.
But looking at the various animal skins they carried on their shoulders, we knew they were also here to exchange pottery and linen.
Soon, the two groups of people met together.
When the Hu people saw these big, lively fish, they all screamed in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.
Feng and a group of other hunters looked proud as they quickly packed up the fish and fishing nets, then led the Hu people back.
This is an unprecedented harvest.
Therefore, this journey is naturally the best opportunity for the Ba people to show off, with a picture of Ga Ga introducing the wonderful process of fishing.
The Hu people were surprised and delighted when they heard this. They all drooled over the tattered fishing net, with envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces.
Fishing nets are not sophisticated things, and the ones they are using are not high-end fishing nets. They are just crudely made of fine hemp ropes. Even if Xu Chen didn't tell them, these savages only need to observe carefully to figure out the structure.
, I can still make it if I go back and paint a gourd.
Therefore, Xu Chen did not hide this technology. On the way back, he even drew pictures to introduce to these foreigners how to make fishing nets, how to lower the nets, etc.
Spreading advanced hunting experience and solving the most basic food and clothing problems of primitive savages is a kind of sharing, and it is also the best way for Xu Chen to gain popularity for himself and the Ba people.
Pottery and cloth are the icing on the cake, but teaching advanced hunting experience is a timely help.
Only by solving the most basic survival needs of these savage tribes can it be possible to promote further commercial development.
If Xu Chen wants to include all five nearby tribes and form a large tribe with a population of nearly a thousand, he needs to establish his strong prestige and gain the recognition of all tribes.
And giving them a way to obtain food is the best way.
Therefore, after these Hu people figured out how to catch fish with fishing nets, they looked at Xu Chen with more respect, and even spoke with caution.
…
Xu Chen went back and forth with a group of hunters, which lasted less than three hours.
It's around noon now.
Usually at this time, a group of hunters have just entered hunting mode.
However, upon hearing the call for the hunting team to return so early, the people in the kiln factory and the construction site did not react much.
According to experience, there should be foreigners coming to exchange pottery again.
Therefore, these people only briefly raised their heads to look down the river beach for a few times, and then continued working with their heads down.
Xu Chen and others brought a group of Hu people to the kiln factory. When several kiln workers saw more than 20 big fish carried back, they suddenly screamed in surprise. It didn't matter. Several hundred meters away
A large group of people quickly ran over to the construction site, and then there was a violent noise and agitation of howling ghosts and howling wolves.
The Ba people, the Muya people, and the Wu people were all shouting and shouting around the baskets containing fish. A group of hunters lifted up some of the largest fish and showed them to everyone proudly.
Although they walked back seven or eight miles, these big fish are not dead yet. They are still twisting and struggling with their huge bodies in their hands, and their gills as big as fists are opening and closing, making people's blood boil with excitement.
"Quick, say Muba quack!"
The Youba people rushed straight to the mountainside excitedly.
Xu Chen's face was dark. It had been several months, but he still couldn't speak without speaking.
But obviously everyone is not on the same page as his concerns.
At this time, not only the Ba people were excited, but also a group of Uzbek and Muya people who had stayed as helpers were even more excited.
They knew that Xu Chen and his group went out to fish in the morning, but they were not optimistic about the strange thing that Xu Chen spent several days to come up with.
Are fish that easy to catch?
If you can catch fish by weaving a bag with rope, then that is unless the fish are all blind.
Naturally, Xu Chen didn't bother to tell these primitive savages whether he could catch fish or not. First, this was a brand new gadget that had no corresponding language, making it very difficult to communicate.
In addition, the less knowledgeable people are, the more stubborn they are, and it is not easy to be persuaded by pure principles.
It's like someone telling a missile expert that burning coal in an engine is not environmentally friendly. If the expert says one more word, he loses.
These primitive people are no longer simply one-minded. They always only believe that seeing is believing. They basically cannot understand the truth. They always communicate with each other based on what they have seen and heard. They also brag, but they are limited to continuous communication.
In the imagination of comparing pictures, because there is no concept of weight and quantity, it is usually done by comparing the size with all one's strength.
Today, Xu Chen finally used his actual actions and achievements to prove another great innovation of his.
These big fish are the best evidence.
Therefore, the people of the Wu and Muya tribes looked at Xu Chenyun Danfengqing's unconcerned expression amidst the commotion of ghosts and wolves, and they were all filled with admiration, just like the river outside the valley that was surging incessantly, reaching the point where they could not speak.
